Chapter 434: Feeling a Bit Strained

"Hmph, you think you can stop me?" Li An snorted coldly, his weapon swirling with fierce momentum. He used his agile movements and exquisite combat skills to temporarily hold off the enemy's attacks.

However, the enemy numbers were simply too great; Li An gradually began to feel a bit strained. Wounds had already appeared on his body, blood staining his clothes red. But he did not give up; determination shone in his eyes, with only one belief in his heart: he must rescue the hostages.

"No, this won't work in the long run," Li An thought silently. He suddenly remembered Bulma, who had been taken hostage; she was a genius scientist in the Dragon Ball world, and perhaps she knew how to crack these mechanisms.

"Hold on for now, I'm going to find Bulma," Li An shouted to his companion 13, then, seizing a brief gap in the enemy's attack, he rushed swiftly into the factory's interior.

Seeing this, the minions immediately gave chase. Li An sprinted through the factory corridors with enemies in hot pursuit behind him. While running, he observed the surroundings, trying to locate Bulma's place of confinement.

Finally, he found Bulma in a room. Bulma was tied to a chair, guarded by several minions. Seeing Li An enter, a flash of surprise crossed Bulma's eyes.

"Li An, you're finally here!" Bulma shouted excitedly.

"Bulma, are you okay?" Li An hurried forward and untied the ropes binding Bulma.

"I'm fine, it's just that these guys are too despicable," Bulma said angrily, rubbing her wrists which were numb from being tied.

"Bulma, do you know how to crack those mechanisms outside?" Li An asked anxiously.

"I know; these mechanisms are a defense system I researched earlier, and I have a way to crack them," Bulma said, pulling a small instrument from her pocket.

"Great, with this we have hope," Li An said, taking the instrument, a smile of relief appearing on his face.

Just then, the minions outside had already chased in. Li An and Bulma quickly prepared for battle; they knew a tough fight lay ahead.

"You think this can stop us?" Li An looked coldly at the minions charging in, a hint of disdain in his eyes.

"Hmph, none of you will leave alive today," the minion leader said viciously.

The battle erupted again; Li An and Bulma stood back-to-back, engaging the enemy in fierce combat. Relying on the weapon in his hand and the cracking method provided by Bulma, Li An successfully cracked some mechanisms, causing certain obstacles to the enemy's attacks.

However, the enemy numbers were simply too great; they surged up wave after wave, seemingly endless 617. Li An and Bulma's stamina gradually depleted, and the situation grew increasingly critical.

"This won't work; we must find a way to break out," Li An said, panting heavily.

"I'll create a jamming device; you take the chance to rush out," Bulma said, quickly pulling some parts from her pocket and beginning to assemble them.

In no time, Bulma had assembled a small jamming device. She pressed the switch; the device emitted a burst of intense light and a piercing sound, causing the enemies to temporarily lose their bearings.

"Now, go!" Li An shouted, pulling Bulma and rushing outside.
