Chapter 436

However, before they could even rejoice, they heard a sound of footsteps coming from outside. It turned out that the leader of the mysterious organization, having learned that Li An had broken through the defenses, had rushed over with more henchmen.

"Looks like we have trouble again." Li An frowned, a hint of gravity in his eyes. He knew the leader of the mysterious organization was not someone easily dealt with; they were about to face an even more severe trial.

A tense atmosphere filled the dim corridor. Li An and his group, carrying hostages such as Professor Agasa and Bulma, were cautiously approaching the exit. The eerie lights flickering on the walls stretched their shadows into twisted shapes, as if they would be swallowed by darkness at any moment. Guo Yao held Li An's hand tightly, her palm covered in sweat, her eyes revealing unease and fear: "Li An, I have a feeling something bad is about to happen."

Li An gently squeezed Guo Yao's hand, the corners of his mouth rising slightly to reveal a confident smile, trying to comfort her: "Don't be afraid, Yaoyao. As long as I'm here, everything will be fine." However, deep inside, he had a vague ominous premonition; this mysterious organization's base was like a huge maze, and danger could descend at any moment.

Just as they were about to step out of the base, a powerful aura surged from behind, and the entire corridor began to shake violently. Li An's face changed instantly; he turned sharply and saw Vegeta burst out of the darkness like a black meteor. He radiated a ferocious aura, and flames of anger burned in his eyes.

"You think you can just leave? Not so easy!" Vegeta's voice boomed through the entire corridor like a great bell. His hands clenched into fists, energy surging constantly within him, distorting the surrounding air with his power as if it were rippling water.

"It's Vegeta!" Phantom Thief Kid's eyes widened in surprise. His body tensed slightly, ready to respond to any sudden situation.

"Damn it, how did this guy catch up again!" Li An gritted his teeth, cursing inwardly. He knew well how powerful Vegeta was, especially now that he was blinded by rage, making him even harder to deal with.

Without a word, Vegeta launched his strongest attack. His hands quickly gathered a massive energy sphere, which emitted a blinding light, tearing black cracks through the surrounding space with its power.

"Careful!" Li An shouted, quickly shielding everyone behind him while forming a spiritual energy shield in front.

"Boom!" The energy sphere, carrying an aura of total destruction, rushed toward Li An and the others, crashing into the spiritual energy shield with a deafening roar. Intense light instantly illuminated the entire corridor, and everyone was knocked back several steps by the powerful impact.

"This... this power is too terrifying!" Professor Agasa's face turned pale with fear, his body trembling uncontrollably. He tightly grabbed Haibara Ai beside him, his voice trembling with tears.

"Li An, are you okay?" Guo Yao looked at Li An with a face full of worry, tears glistening in her eyes.
