Chapter 740: Exhausted

"It is the power of the God of Light!"Sophia exclaimed in delight. Hope sparkled in her eyes, as if she saw the dawn of victory.

With the power of the God of Light bolstering them, they finally drove this dark force back completely. When the last wisp of darkness dissipated into the air, all four of them slumped to the ground, panting heavily. Though utterly exhausted, hope sparkled in their eyes.

"We did it!"Lei Kesi shouted excitedly. His voice was filled with joy and pride.

Under the night sky, the Temple of Light was shrouded in a faint silver glow, like a pure land cut off from the world. However, this tranquility did not last long; a deep and oppressive dark force, like a surging tide, rapidly approached.

"Alert! The dark force is approaching!"The temple guards shouted loudly, and a tense atmosphere instantly spread.

Lei Kesi, the Knight Commander of the Temple of Light, wore silver armor, held a long sword, and had a determined gaze. He quickly organized the knightly order, preparing to fight the incoming dark force.

"Knights, prepare for battle! For Light and Justice, we must never retreat!"Lei Kesi's voice rang out with strength, inspiring every knight.

At the same time, Li An also felt the approach of this dark force. Standing on the high platform of the temple, his gaze sharp as a torch, a strong fighting spirit surged in his heart.

"Guo Yao, are you ready?"Li An looked at Guo Yao beside him; determination sparkled in her eyes.

Guo Yao nodded slightly, waving her hands gently. Streams of soft light overflowed from her fingertips, providing Li An with a continuous flow of power support.

"Rest assured, I will always be here."Guo Yao's voice was gentle yet firm; her eyes were filled with trust and love for Li An.

The dark force finally broke through the temple's defensive barrier, turning into black tentacles that frantically attacked every corner of the temple. Lei Kesi led the knightly order in fierce resistance, but the dark force seemed endless, plunging them into a bitter struggle.

Seeing this, Li An flashed his figure, instantly appearing in the center of the battlefield. He clenched his hands tightly; a powerful force surged within him, then exploded violently, shattering the approaching dark tentacles one by one.

"Li An, be careful!"Guo Yao suddenly shouted; she saw a particularly powerful dark tentacle quietly approaching Li An.

Li An shifted his body, easily dodging the tentacle's attack. He turned to look at Guo Yao; an ambiguous glance passed between them, as if in that moment, the entire world contained only the two of them.

The conservative elders stood aside, watching the interaction between Li An and Guo Yao; their hearts began to waver. They began to ponder whether the words Li An had spoken earlier truly made sense.

However, the dark force did not give them much time to think. As the power continuously strengthened, small dark creatures began to appear inside the temple. Their forms twisted, their eyes blood-red, and they frantically attacked the personnel within the temple.

"Everyone be careful, these dark creatures will attack us!"Sophia warned loudly; she led some clergy members to begin treating the wounded.

Guo Yao also joined the battle; she cast powerful spells, eliminating the dark creatures one by one. However, these creatures seemed endless, making her feel somewhat overwhelmed.
