Chapter 695: Your Weakness

Lei Nuo's gaze lingered for a moment on Li An's agonized, struggling figure, then a cold smirk curled at the corner of his mouth. He said inwardly, "So this is your weakness? Li An, the power of the Void Core is not so easy to master."

Just as Li An was about to be consumed by this force, a flash of resolve crossed his eyes. He clenched his teeth, his hands suddenly flung wide, and a powerful will erupted from within him, like a bolt of lightning cleaving the chaotic void.

"Stop!" Li An roared, his voice echoing through the void, carrying an unquestionable authority.

That rampaging force, as if sensing Li An's will, gradually began to calm. A pained yet determined smile appeared on Li An's face; he knew he was not far from taming this power.

However, just as Li An was about to succeed, Lei Nuo suddenly struck. His figure flashed, appearing behind Li An like a phantom, both hands gathering a powerful energy, and he struck viciously toward the back of Li An's heart.

"Lei Nuo, you—!" Guo Yao cried out in shock at the sight, never expecting Lei Nuo would actually make a move against Li An at this moment.

Li An's heart gave a jolt, but he did not panic. At this life-or-death moment, his reaction was extraordinarily swift. He sidestepped Lei Nuo's attack, threw a counter-punch, and it collided with Lei Nuo's energy, producing a deafening boom.

"Hmph, Li An, you think you can tame the power of the Void Core like this? How naive!" Lei Nuo gave a cold laugh, his figure flickered again, and he launched a fierce assault on Li An.

Li An, while blocking Lei Nuo's attacks, continued to suppress the Void Core power within him. He knew deeply that he absolutely could not be distracted at this moment, or the consequences would be unthinkable.

"Lei Nuo, you're courting death!" Li An roared angrily, his voice filled with fury and unwillingness.

Lei Nuo, however, was unmoved; his offensive grew ever more ferocious, as if determined to crush Li An completely.

In the fierce battle, Li An gradually discerned the pattern of Lei Nuo's attacks. Using his agile footwork, he dodged Lei Nuo's lethal strikes again and again, while simultaneously seeking a chance to counterattack.

Finally, in one exchange, Li An seized an opening in Lei Nuo's defense. He suddenly exerted his strength, his fist slamming into Lei Nuo's chest and sending him flying backward.

"Bang!" Lei Nuo crashed heavily to the ground, spitting a mouthful of fresh blood. A flash of terror and unwillingness crossed his eyes, but he quickly scrambled back up and charged at Li An once more.

Li An gave him no chance to catch his breath; his figure flashed, appearing behind Lei Nuo, both hands gathering a powerful force, and he slammed down violently.

"Void Shatter!" Li An growled in a low voice, his hands seeming to dissolve into nothingness, carrying a destructive force as they blasted toward Lei Nuo.

Lei Nuo felt only a breath of death rushing toward him; he tried to dodge, but it was already too late. That force slammed into him viciously, blasting his entire body to pieces.

"Lei Nuo!" Guo Yao cried out in shock at the sight, never expecting Li An would actually strike with such a heavy hand.

However, Li An paid her no heed. He knew deeply that he had to tame the power of the Void Core as quickly as possible, or the consequences would be unthinkable.

Li An once again focused his attention on the Void Core power within him. He drew a deep breath, calming his heart. Then he slowly closed his eyes and began to use his will to sense that force..
