Chapter 641: You Truly Are My Strategist!

Li An heard this, and a flash of joy crossed his eyes. He immediately followed Guo Yao's instructions and began touching the runes. As he touched them, the mechanism slowly stopped operating, and the collapsed ground gradually returned to being level.

"Excellent, Yaoyao, you truly are my strategist!" Li An said with a smile, his tone filled with praise for Guo Yao.

Guo Yao smiled slightly, a light of happiness flashing in her eyes. She knew that Li An's smile was her greatest motivation.

As the mechanism was deciphered, Wang Lei's attacks became even more fierce. He knew deeply that once Li An found the "Ancient Key," he would never again be able to guard this ruin.

"You shall not succeed!" Wang Lei roared, his long sword swinging like a violent storm as it rushed toward Li An.

Li An's figure was agile; he dodged left and right while seeking an opportunity to counterattack. He discovered that although Wang Lei's attacks were fierce, there were flaws between his moves. If he seized these flaws, he could win with a single strike.

"Wang Lei, your attacks have lost their order; it seems you have exhausted all your tricks," Li An sneered, his tone full of mockery.

Hearing this, Wang Lei burned with rage, and his attacks grew even more ferocious. But by now, Li An had figured out his attack patterns and began to gradually launch a counterattack.

Li An's figure flashed, dodging a heavy blow from Wang Lei's sword, while simultaneously turning his hand to deliver a punch that heavily struck Wang Lei's chest. Wang Lei felt a massive force surge through him, and his body involuntarily flew backward.

"Cough... you... you dare!" Wang Lei lay on the ground, a wisp of blood oozing from the corner of his mouth, his eyes filled with unwillingness and anger.

Li An gave him no chance to catch his breath; his figure flashed, and he was already at Wang Lei's side. He stepped on Wang Lei's chest with one foot and said coldly, "Wang Lei, you have lost. Now, tell me where the Ancient Key is."

Wang Lei's face was pale, but his eyes revealed stubbornness and unyielding resolve: "You shall not get any information from my mouth!"

Li An snorted coldly and increased the force of his foot. Wang Lei felt a sharp pain in his chest, yet he still gritted his teeth and held on, refusing to speak.

Just then, Guo Yao suddenly walked to Li An's side. She gently patted Li An's shoulder and said, "Li An, don't be like this. Wang Lei is also fulfilling his duty; why must we make things difficult for him?"

Hearing this, Li An was slightly stunned. Looking at Guo Yao's gentle eyes, a warm current surged in his heart. He took a deep breath, released the pressure of his foot, and helped Wang Lei up.

"Wang Lei, this time we will not make things difficult for you. But remember, we seek the Ancient Key to uncover a mystery concerning our fate. I hope you can understand," Li An said, his tone filled with sincerity.
