Chapter 416: Is It Insignificant?

Li An's brows knitted tightly; he could clearly feel the overwhelming pressure radiating from Aizen, and every breath seemed to become heavy. He clenched his fists in secret, his spiritual energy beginning to circulate quietly, ready at any moment to meet the coming battle. "Aizen, you have indeed appeared after all," Li An said coldly, his eyes revealing determination and resolve.

Not far away, Guo Yao watched all this with a worried expression. Her hands were clasped tightly together, her knuckles turning white from the force. Her eyes were filled with anxiety and unease, her lips trembling slightly; she wanted to call out to Li An but feared disturbing him. "An, be careful..." she prayed silently in her heart.

Aizen stopped before Li An, tilting his head slightly as he sized Li An up and down, his smile growing even more eerie. "It seems you have gained a new boost in spiritual energy, but even so, before me, it remains insignificant." Aizen said disdainfully, his tone full of mockery.

"Whether it is insignificant, only a trial will tell," Li An replied without yielding, his eyes flashing with sharp light like a sword drawn from its sheath.

The battle was on the verge of erupting. Aizen launched the first attack; his figure instantly vanished from the spot, and the next second he appeared behind Li An, a beam of black spiritual energy condensed in his hand, shooting toward Li An's back. Li An reacted extremely quickly, swiftly sidestepping to dodge; the beam grazed the hem of his clothes and struck a huge boulder behind him, which instantly turned to powder.

"Such fast speed!" Li An marveled inwardly; he knew Aizen's strength was far from limited to this, and this battle would be exceptionally difficult. Seeing this, Aizen let out a low laugh: "Is that all you can do? It seems you are still far from being my match." Saying this, he launched another attack; this time, his methods of attack became even more unpredictable, countless beams of spiritual energy shooting at Li An from all directions like a dense rain of arrows.

Li An dodged left and right among the beams, his eyes fixed tightly on Aizen, trying to find an opportunity to counterattack. At the same time, he activated the system in his mind, quickly analyzing Aizen's attack patterns and ability weaknesses. "Hmph, don't think you can trap me like this," Li An said in a low voice; his body suddenly erupted with a surge of powerful spiritual energy, forming a spiritual shield that blocked all attacks from the outside.

Seeing this, Aizen raised an eyebrow slightly, a hint of surprise appearing on his face. "Interesting, but this is still far from enough." As Aizen spoke, his spiritual pressure rose again, and cracks began to appear in the surrounding space, as if the Suishidou Society was about to collapse at any moment.

Li An felt Aizen's spiritual pressure rise and his heart tightened. He knew Aizen had started to take this seriously. "In that case, I will no longer hold back." Li An gritted his teeth; a more dazzling light radiated from his body, and his entire person resembled a small sun.

The battle between the two grew ever more intense; the collision of spiritual energies produced a tremendous roar, like thunder exploding in their ears. The surrounding environment was shattered by their spiritual impact; the ground began to crack, and huge boulders rolled down one after another. In the sky, the originally white clouds were dyed black, as if the end of the world was about to arrive.

Aizen's attacks grew more and more fierce; his figure, like a ghost, constantly darted around Li An. While attacking, he mocked Li An: "Do you think you can defeat me? It is sheer wishful thinking. Your power before me is nothing but the strength of an ant."
