Chapter 733: Surrounded on All Sides

"Guo Yao, cover me!" Li An shouted loudly, his figure suddenly accelerating as he charged toward the runic array.

Guo Yao heard this and immediately swung her soft sword, knocking down the incoming light arrows one by one. Her movements were light and agile, like a butterfly dancing gracefully.

Li An rushed to the front of the runic array, his hands rapidly forming seals as he silently chanted ancient incantations. As the incantation was completed, the runic array began to emit a dazzling light, and those light arrows, as if they had lost their source of power, scattered and vanished into the air.

"It worked!" Li An was overjoyed. He turned to look at Guo Yao, his eyes sparkling with excitement.

However, just at that moment, an even more violent tremor came. The entire Temple of Light seemed to be shaken by an invisible force, and countless beams of light surged in from all directions, surrounding them tightly.

"Not good! This is the temple's self-destruct mechanism!" Li An's face changed drastically, and he quickly pulled Guo Yao back.

However, the retreat was already cut off, and they seemed trapped in a desperate situation. Li An took a deep breath, his eyes flashing with resolve and defiance. "Guo Yao, it looks like we can only fight our way out."

In the core area of the Temple of Light, the light was resplendent and mysterious. Yet beneath this radiance lurked endless peril and death. Li An and Guo Yao clung to each other, their eyes holding both fear and determination.

"Li An, are we going to die?" Guo Yao's voice carried a slight tremor, but more than that, it held trust and reliance on Li An.

Li An gripped Guo Yao's hand tightly, his gaze steady and gentle. "No, we won't die. As long as there's a glimmer of hope, I will never give up."

Saying this, Li An launched another attack, his figure darting through the light like a phantom, each strike precise and lethal. Yet those beams of light seemed endless, repelling them again and again.

Guo Yao refused to be outdone either. She swung her soft sword, knocking down the incoming beams of light one by one. Her movements were light and agile, like a butterfly dancing gracefully amidst the flames.

However, as time passed, their stamina and magic were gradually being depleted. Li An looked at Guo Yao's weary face, and a deep sense of guilt and self-reproach welled up within him. "Guo Yao, I'm sorry. It's my fault for dragging you into this danger."

Guo Yao shook her head slightly, her eyes filled with tenderness and resolve. "Li An, don't say such things. I'm willing to face everything with you. As long as we're together, nothing can defeat us."

Hearing this, a warm current surged through Li An's heart. He took a deep breath and launched another attack. This time, he no longer swung his sword blindly, but carefully observed the trajectories and patterns of the light.

Finally, he found an opening. At the convergence point of those beams of light, a tiny point of light was flickering. Li An's heart stirred, and he suddenly exerted his strength, charging toward that point of light.

"Key of Light!" Li An shouted loudly, and a key radiating brilliant light suddenly appeared in his hand.

With the appearance of the Key of Light, those beams of light, as if they had lost their source of power, scattered and vanished into the air. Li An and Guo Yao exchanged a smile, their eyes filled with victory and joy.

However, just at that moment, an even more violent tremor came. The entire Temple of Light seemed on the verge of collapse, as countless massive stones rolled down from the ceiling, surrounding them tightly.

"Run!" Li An grabbed Guo Yao's hand and dashed toward the temple's exit. Behind them were collapsing rubble and fiercely blazing flames..
