Chapter 406: Is That All You

"Watch out!" Guo Yao couldn't help screaming, her hands clamped over her mouth, eyes locked on Li An, her face filled with terror.

Li An's figure flickered, dodging like a black shadow; the energy beam grazed his sleeve and shot backward, leaving a massive deep crater on the ground, the surrounding earth instantly charred and emitting a pungent stench.

"Incredible speed and devastating attack power!" Li An silently marveled, knowing well how troublesome this Hollow was. But he remained calm, swiftly activating his system in his mind to analyze the Hollow's attack patterns and weaknesses.

837 "Is that all you've got?" Li An smirked, lifting the corner of his mouth in a taunting grin, trying to provoke the Hollow and find an opening.

The Hollow seemed enraged by Li An's provocation; it roared again and lunged at him with its massive claws. Though its movements appeared clumsy, its speed was astonishing, whipping up a gale that sent sand and stones flying everywhere.

Li An sidestepped swiftly, rapidly calculating the Hollow's attack trajectory in his mind. Just as the claws were about to strike, he suddenly surged forward, gathering powerful spiritual energy in his fist and punching the Hollow's arm.

"Thud!" The sound of a dull impact echoed as Li An's fist struck the Hollow's arm—like hitting a block of hard stone—his arm numbed from the shock.

"Damn, this Hollow's defense is too strong!" Li An frowned, feeling frustrated inside.

The Hollow, pained and furious, roared wildly; its body thrashed uncontrollably, the surrounding black mist growing denser, as if ready to swallow the entire world. It opened its mouth, and countless black spines shot out like a rain of arrows toward Li An.

A flicker of tension passed through Li An's eyes; he swiftly erected a spiritual energy shield around himself. The black spines struck the shield with a "ting-tang-ting" sound, sparking wildly.

"This won't do—I must find its weakness quickly!" Li An thought to himself, his eyes fixed on every movement of the Hollow, missing not a single detail.

At that moment, Kurosaki Ichigo's figure suddenly appeared. Holding Zangetsu, he leapt from the sky and landed beside Li An: "Li An, I'm here to help!" His eyes burned with determination and passion, radiating powerful spiritual pressure.

"Kurosaki Ichigo, how did you get here?" Li An looked at him in surprise.

"I sensed a massive spiritual pressure fluctuation here—I knew you were in trouble," Kurosaki Ichigo grinned, revealing a row of white teeth. "Don't worry—we'll take it down together!"

"Alright!" Li An nodded; with Kurosaki Ichigo's arrival, his confidence surged.

The Hollow, watching the sudden appearance of Kurosaki Ichigo, flickered with caution. It sensed the threat posed by these two and grew more cautious.

"Li An, this Hollow's spiritual pressure is immense—we can't let our guard down," Kurosaki Ichigo gripped Zangetsu tightly, his expression grave.

"I know. Its attack speed and defense are both formidable—we must find its weakness," Li An murmured, frowning slightly, eyes locked on the Hollow.

At that moment, the Hollow launched another attack. Its body swelled suddenly, then charged straight at Li An and Kurosaki Ichigo, leaving massive footprints on the ground wherever it stepped.
