Chapter 473

Li An did not dare to be the slightest bit careless; he concentrated fully on dealing with Nurarihyon Lu Sheng's attacks. The two exchanged blows back and forth in the great hall, the battle exceptionally fierce. The surrounding yokai were all drawn in by their fight, one after another revealing expressions of surprise.

"I didn't expect this human could actually go back and forth with the Third Generation."

"Yeah, looks like he really has some skill."

Just as the two were in the thick of battle, Li An suddenly spotted an opening in Nurarihyon Lu Sheng's. His heart stirred, he swiftly seized the chance and launched a full-power attack.

"Die!" Li An shouted, the spiritual blade in his hand carrying tremendous force as it thrust toward Nurarihyon Lu Sheng.

Nurarihyon Lu Sheng's expression shifted slightly; he tried to dodge quickly, but it was already too late. Just as the spiritual blade was about to pierce him, he suddenly vanished on the spot.

Li An's heart jolted; he swiftly looked around, only to find Nurarihyon Lu Sheng had already appeared behind him.

"You lose." Nurarihyon Lu Sheng's voice rang in Li An's ear, his demon blade already resting against Li An's neck.

A wave of despair washed over Li An; he knew he had still lost. But he did not give up, and said: "Although I've lost, I hope you can give me one more chance. I truly need your help."

Nurarihyon Lu Sheng looked at Li An, a flicker of hesitation passing through his eyes. After a moment, he withdrew his demon blade and said: "Your strength and courage, I've seen them both. I can give you one chance."

Li An's heart leaped with joy, and he quickly said: "Thank you, Lu Sheng. I won't let you down."

Nurarihyon Lu Sheng nodded slightly, looked toward the surrounding yokai, and said: "I've decided to cooperate with him. Does anyone have any objections?"

The surrounding yokai fell silent for a moment, then one after another expressed their agreement.

"Since the Third Generation has already decided, we have no objections either."

"Hope he can really bring us some benefits."

Li An breathed a sigh of relief; he knew he had finally succeeded. He quickly picked up the divine artifact and came to Guo Yao's side.

He gently placed the divine artifact on Guo Yao's chest; the divine artifact emitted a dazzling ray of light, the light enveloping Guo Yao's body. Under the illumination of the light, the curse on Guo Yao's body began to gradually dissipate.

"A-Yao, wake up quickly." Li An called out anxiously, his eyes filled with anticipation.

As the light gradually faded, Guo Yao's complexion began to turn rosy. Her eyelids trembled slightly, then slowly opened.

"Li An..." Guo Yao softly called Li An's name, her voice faint yet filled with joy.

"A-Yao, you're finally awake!" Li An shouted excitedly, holding Guo Yao tightly as if embracing the entire world.

The surrounding yokai saw this scene and cheered for them one after another. Yuki-onna's eyes glistened with tears; she felt happy for Li An and Guo Yao.

..... 0.......

"That's wonderful, she's finally awake." Yuki-onna said softly.

Li An held Guo Yao, his heart filled with happiness and gratitude. He knew all of this was inseparable from the Nurarihyon group's help. He looked at Nurarihyon Lu Sheng and said: "Thank you, Lu Sheng. If it weren't for you all, I don't know what I would have done."

Nurarihyon Lu Sheng smiled slightly and said: "Don't mention it, this is our shared achievement. I hope we can have more cooperation in the future."

The night was like thick ink, pouring itself without reservation over this mysterious Yokai World. A breeze brushed past, the ancient trees rustling, as if whispering secrets unknown to anyone.
