Chapter 470: Increasingly Cunning

Shou Wu stood quietly aside, his eyes flickering with a mysterious light as if pondering something.

Just as the crowd murmured in discussion, the battle continued. The giant Oni Tsukumo launched relentless attacks, growing ever more fierce and ever more cunning. Li An gradually found it difficult to keep up; wounds appeared on his body, and blood stained his clothes red.

"No, I cannot fall like this!" Li An gritted his teeth, his eyes revealing determination and unyielding spirit. He focused his mind and activated the Golden Finger system once more, analyzing the weaknesses of the giant Oni Tsukumo.

Suddenly, he noticed that as the giant Oni Tsukumo moved, his left foot would pause slightly. "This might be his weakness!" Li An thought silently in his heart.

He took a deep breath and shouted loudly, "Hey, you big guy! Look over here!" As he spoke, his figure flashed, and he charged toward the giant Oni Tsukumo.

Seeing Li An charge forward, the giant Oni Tsukumo roared in fury, then swung his massive claws, striking down at Li An.

Li An remained calm; at the very moment the claws were about to strike, his body suddenly flashed to the left, then swiftly rushed toward the giant Oni Tsukumo's left foot.

"Now!" Li An shouted loudly, gathering powerful spiritual energy in his hands, then struck hard at the ankle of the giant Oni Tsukumo's left foot.

"Aaah!" The giant Oni Tsukumo let out a painful roar; his left foot suddenly went limp, and his entire body fell forward onto the ground.

"It worked!" Li An shouted excitedly and seized the opportunity to launch his final attack.

"Take this!" Li An shouted loudly, gathering a massive sphere of spiritual energy in his hands, then fired it at the giant Oni Tsukumo.

The giant Oni Tsukumo tried to dodge, but it was too late. The sphere of spiritual energy, carrying immense power, struck his chest.

"Boom!" A deafening explosion rang out; the giant Oni Tsukumo, struck by the sphere of spiritual energy, was blasted flying through the air. His body heavily burdened crashed to the ground, motionless.

"The Oni Tsukumo has been defeated!" The surrounding demons exclaimed in awe, their eyes filled with reverence.

Li An sat on the ground, exhausted, a smile of victory appearing on his face. He had successfully protected the divine artifact and taken one step closer to saving Guo Yao.

However, before he could even catch his breath, he heard Nurarihyon Lu Sheng say, "Li An, although you have defeated the Oni Tsukumo, opinions within our Nurarihyon Group regarding cooperation with you are divided. How will you persuade them?"

Li An raised his head, looking at Nurarihyon Lu Sheng, his eyes revealing determination: "I will. For Guo Yao, for protecting the divine artifact, I will surely persuade them!"

367 The night was like ink, with thick fog shrouding the Nurarihyon Group's headquarters, the surroundings permeated with a mysterious yet dangerous aura. Li An tightly embraced the unconscious Guo Yao, his hand firmly gripping the divine artifact emitting a faint glow, stepping step by step into this demon territory. His eyes were firm yet carried a hint of anxiety; every step he took heavily burdened and powerful, as if bearing a weight of a thousand pounds in resolve.

"A-Yao, you must hold on; I will surely find a way to save you," Li An murmured silently in his heart, gently stroking Guo Yao's cheek, trying to transmit warmth to himself. Guo Yao's face was pale as paper, devoid of color, and her tightly closed eyes made Li An's heart twist into a knot.
