Chapter 736: The Threat Is Simply Too Great

Li An shook his head helplessly: "We don't want to make enemies of you, but the threat of the Shadow of the Abyss is simply too great. We have no choice but to do this."

Alice sneered: "Then I'd like to see if you have the ability."

As she spoke, Alice's figure flashed, her long sword like a dragon, thrusting straight at Li An. Li An's figure was nimble, dodging Alice's attacks one by one while looking for a chance to counterattack.

"Your strength is decent, but it's still far from enough." Alice said while attacking.

Li An did not respond, silently enduring Alice's attacks while searching for her opening. Finally, in one clash, Li An found his chance. He suddenly exerted force, knocking Alice's long sword flying, then kicked her in the abdomen, sending her sprawling to the ground.

Alice lay on the ground, looking at Li An, her eyes full of unwillingness and shock. She hadn't expected that she would actually lose to a stranger.

Li An walked to Alice's side, crouched down: "Now, will you hand the Key of Darkness over to us?"

Alice looked at Li An, a complex glint flashing through her eyes. She slowly stood up and handed the long sword in her hand — the Key of Darkness — to Li An: "I hope you can succeed."

Li An took the Key of Darkness, gave Alice a grateful look: "Thank you."

The three of them left the Abyss of Darkness with the two keys. However, they had no idea that danger was quietly approaching.

Not long after they left, Cain's figure appeared at the entrance to the Abyss of Darkness. He watched the direction the three had departed, his eyes full of venomous hatred and killing intent: "Li An, don't even dream of sealing the great lord of the Abyss!"

Cain tracked them all the way, finally intercepting Li An and the others in a mountain valley.

"Cain, you actually followed us!" Li An looked at Cain before him, a flash of anger in his eyes.

Cain sneered: "Of course I had to follow you. I can't let you seal the great lord of the Abyss."

As he spoke, Cain's figure moved, attacking Li An like a phantom. Li An snorted coldly and went to meet him. The two instantly fell into a fierce battle.

Cain's strength was extremely powerful, his attacks pouring down like a raging storm without end. Although Li An's strength was considerable, for the moment he was forced onto the back foot. Guo Yao watched anxiously from the side, constantly cheering Li An on.

"Li An, watch out!" Guo Yao shouted. She saw Cain's fist about to strike Li An's back.......

Hearing her, Li An tilted his body, cleverly dodging Cain's attack. He seized the chance to counter, landing a fist on Cain's chest and sending him staggering back several steps.

Cain looked at Li An, a flash of surprise in his eyes. He hadn't expected that Li An could actually dodge his attack and even counter.

"Your strength is decent, but it's still far from enough." Li An looked at Cain, a hint of mockery in his tone.

Hearing this, Cain's fury blazed. He launched another attack, this time even more ferocious, as if determined to utterly defeat Li An.

Facing Cain's fierce assault, Li An remained composed. He kept searching for his opponent's opening, then delivered a fatal blow. The two went back and forth, locked in an evenly matched fight.

Suddenly, Li An noticed that Cain's power seemed to be closely connected to the Shadow of the Abyss. Every time Cain attacked, a faint dark light would flicker across his body.

A thought stirred in Li An's mind. He deliberately exposed an opening, luring Cain into overusing his power. Sure enough, Cain took the bait. He threw a fierce punch at Li An's chest, but Li An cleverly dodged. At the same time, he seized the chance to counter, landing a fist on Cain's abdomen and making him spit up fresh blood..
