Chapter 665: How Naive

Li An let out a cold laugh: "Han Li? He thinks setting up these traps will hold me? How naive."

Wang Lei said nothing more. His figure blurred, and like a bolt of black lightning, he lunged straight at Li An. His fists carried a fierce wind, the whoosh of it audible—clearly meant to give Li An a show of force.

Li An tilted his body and easily dodged Wang Lei's attack. He countered with a punch straight at Wang Lei's chest. In an instant, the two were locked in a fierce hand-to-hand brawl.

Guo Yao watched from the side, her heart pounding with fear, but she knew she could not become a burden to Li An. She drew a deep breath, pulled a short blade from her pack, and watched warily in every direction, guarding against an attack by the mysterious organization.

Sure enough, just as Li An and Wang Lei were locked in combat, a group of mysterious organization members in black robes surged in from every side, completely surrounding Li An and Guo Yao. Their eyes were hollow and cold, like killing machines.

"Hmph, Han Li really thinks highly of me." Li An snorted coldly, a flash of viciousness in his eyes. He knew this battle could not be avoided.

"An-ge, careful!" Guo Yao suddenly shouted. She saw a member of the mysterious organization sneaking up behind Li An, a blade in hand glinting coldly.

Li An's heart lurched. His body instantly shot backward, narrowly dodging that fatal strike. But the moment he retreated, another member swung a long blade at his shoulder.

"Bang!" Li An's left arm was sliced open by the long blade, and blood instantly dyed his sleeve red. But Li An seemed to feel no pain at all—his gaze grew fiercer, like an enraged beast.

"You want to die!" Li An roared. His figure darted like a ghost through the crowd. Every punch, every kick carried a whistling wind, sending the enemies closing in flying back one after another.

Guo Yao watched from the side, her blood surging. She no longer hesitated, brandishing her short blade and charging into the fray. Her movements were not as sharp as Li An's, but every strike carried a vicious, ruthless edge.

"Yao'er, careful!" Li An, even in the midst of battle, did not forget to watch over Guo Yao's safety. He saw a member of the mysterious organization sneaking toward Guo Yao, and his heart clenched. He immediately used his movement art, appearing beside Guo Yao in an instant, and kicked that member flying.

Guo Yao felt Li An's concern, and a warm current welled up inside her. She looked at Li An with even firmer eyes, as if to say: "An-ge, I'm not afraid."

The battle dragged on, and Li An and Guo Yao gradually fell into a bitter fight. Their stamina was draining, and the wounds on their bodies kept increasing. But neither had any thought of giving up. They stood back to back, facing the endless stream of enemies.

"This can't go on." Li An panted, his eyes sweeping the surroundings as he tried to find the key to breaking the deadlock.

"An-ge, look over there!" Guo Yao suddenly pointed at a corner not far away and shouted. Li An looked in the direction she was pointing and saw a stone tablet with strange runes carved on it.

"Could it be…" Li An's heart stirred; he seemed to have thought of something. He grabbed Guo Yao's hand, and the two of them rushed toward the stone tablet.

But just then, Han Li suddenly appeared, blocking their path. His figure was like a ghost, impossible to pin down. His eyes were full of mockery and derision, as if watching a wonderful performance..
