Chapter 401: I'm Here to Help You

Just as Li An was struggling to hold on, he suddenly felt a familiar power coming from behind him. He turned around and saw that Guo Yao had appeared behind him at some point, holding a sword that emitted a soft glow.

"Li An, I'm here to help you." Guo Yao's eyes were filled with determination as she handed the sword to Li An. Li An took the sword, felt the immense power contained within it, and a wave of emotion surged in his heart. "Thank you, Yaoyao," Li An said.

"Let's fight together," Guo Yao said with a smile. Li An nodded, and he and Guo Yao stood side by side, ready to face Ulquiorra's next assault.

Seeing Guo Yao appear, a hint of disdain flashed in Ulquiorra's eyes: "Hmph, what difference does one more person make? Today, you will all die." With that, he launched another attack, charging toward Li An and Guo Yao.

Li An and Guo Yao exchanged a glance, then simultaneously rushed at Ulquiorra. Their figures darted swiftly around Ulquiorra, their swords constantly thrusting into his body. Ulquiorra let out a series of furious roars, and his attacks grew even more frantic.

In the midst of the fierce battle, Li An suddenly spotted a flaw in Ulquiorra's defense. A thought crossed his mind, and he quickly gave Guo Yao a signal. Guo Yao understood immediately and launched an attack at once, drawing Ulquiorra's attention.

Seizing the opportunity, Li An moved behind Ulquiorra, raised his sword high, mustered all his strength, and thrust it into Ulquiorra's back. "Psh!" The sword plunged deep into Ulquiorra's body, and black blood flowed out from his wound.
