Chapter 414

"I'm so glad you're okay!" Guo Yao sobbed, unable to speak.

Li An smiled weakly, reaching out to gently stroke Guo Yao's hair: "I'm fine now. Sorry to have made you worry."

At that moment, the dark clouds in the sky gradually dispersed, and a ray of sunlight pierced through the clouds, casting down upon them as if cheering for the resolution of this crisis.

Stepping into the Soul Society, a breath utterly different from the outside world rushed to meet them; the sky was filled with an eerie, dark red glow, as if shrouded in a layer of mysterious veil.

"This is the Soul Society. It feels so mysterious," Guo Yao said, clutching Li An's arm tightly, her voice carrying a hint of tension and curiosity.

Li An gently patted Guo Yao's hand and comforted her: "Don't be afraid, I'm here." Yet his eyes revealed vigilance, for the Soul Society was full of unknown dangers, and no one knew what would happen in the next second.

They advanced toward the mysterious area; the deeper they went, the thicker the fog became, and their vision grew extremely blurred. Suddenly, Li An stopped abruptly, his brows knitted tightly, his face showing an expression of pain.

"What's wrong, Li An?" Kurosaki Ichigo noticed Li An's abnormality and asked with concern.

"The spiritual pressure around here... is very wrong, as if something is interfering," Li An said with difficulty, his breathing becoming rapid. He felt as though he had fallen into an invisible quagmire; every breath was like resisting a powerful force, making his chest feel stifled and unbearable.

Guo Yao's face also turned pale; she leaned closer to Li An, her hands trembling slightly: "I feel it too. It's so uncomfortable."

Li An took a deep breath, trying to mobilize the spiritual energy within his body to resist this interference, but the effect was minimal. He remained secretly vigilant in his heart, knowing this was only the beginning of the dangers of the Soul Society, and he must find a way to deal with it as soon as possible.

Just as they struggled to adapt to this eerie spiritual pressure, a chilling whistling sound suddenly arose from around them; a group of spiritual beings emitting an eerie green glow slowly emerged from the fog. Their forms were unstable and shifting, like ghosts.

"Be careful, something's coming!" Kurosaki Ichigo instantly drew Zangetsu, spiritual energy surging around him, and assumed a combat stance.

Li An also quickly prepared himself, his eyes revealing calmness and determination. The appearance of these spiritual beings instantly made the atmosphere tense; the nervous atmosphere was like an invisible net, tightly enveloping them.

The spiritual beings hesitated not at all, surging toward them like a tide. They moved with agility, their speed so fast it was hard to catch. One spiritual being instantly rushed before Li An, its sharp claws reaching for his chest.

Li An's body quickly leaned backward, narrowly avoiding the strike; at the same time, he raised his hand, condensing spiritual energy, and counterattacked the spiritual being. However, these spiritual beings seemed to possess a certain resistance to spiritual energy attacks; Li An's strike only made them pause slightly.

"These guys are hard to deal with!" Li An shouted loudly.

Kurosaki Ichigo swung Zangetsu, sending wave after wave of spiritual energy slashes flying toward the spiritual beings. For a moment, light flashed, but the spiritual beings were numerous, and their attacks seemed to have caused little damage to them.

What was even more headache-inducing was that these spiritual beings could fuse together. Several spiritual beings drew near one another, instantly merging into one; their size became much larger, and their strength was clearly stronger.

"Damn it, they can fuse!" Kurosaki Ichigo gritted his teeth, his face full of anger and unwillingness..
