Chapter 755: The True Challenge Still Lies Ahead

"Where exactly is the Key of Light...?" Li An murmured to himself, his eyes flashing with determination. He knew that although this battle had ended, the true challenge still lay ahead.

At this moment, Guo Yao slowly walked to Li An's side; her face remained pale, yet her eyes were filled with concern and tenderness. She gently took Li An's hand and said, "Li An, do not worry, we will definitely find the Key of Light."

Looking at Guo Yao, a warm current surged within Li An's heart. He nodded and said, "Mm, I believe we will certainly find it."

Just then, a low rumbling suddenly erupted from the depths of the ruins, as if some colossal creature were awakening. The expressions of both Li An and Guo Yao changed instantly; they exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with vigilance and unease.

"It seems more secrets are hidden here," Li An said in a deep voice.

Guo Yao nodded, gripping Li An's hand tightly as if to transmit her courage to him. Standing shoulder to shoulder, the two gazed firmly into the depths of the ruins, ready to welcome the new challenge.

The rumbling from the ruins grew louder and louder, as if something were breaking through the earth. Li An and Guo Yao's nerves were stretched to the limit; they focused their entire attention on the front, fearing to miss even the slightest movement.

Finally, a massive figure slowly rose from the ruins: a giant clad in black robes, his eyes as pitch-black as an abyss, emanating a dark aura that made one's heart tremble.

"An envoy of the Shadow of the Abyss..." Li An murmured, his eyes flashing with a grave light. He knew this giant was no friend, and their coming battle would be even more arduous.

The giant let out a low laugh, as if mocking the insignificance of Li An and Guo Yao. He slowly raised his hand, pointing at the two, while a powerful dark force instantly condensed in his palm, as if intending to swallow them whole.

"Li An, be careful!" Guo Yao cried out, wanting to rush forward to help, but Li An stopped her.

Li An took a deep breath and quickly formed seals with both hands; a brilliant light formed before him, blocking that dark force. He knew he must go all out to withstand this giant's attack.

"Come on, let me see how strong you are!" Li An roared, erupting with tremendous power as he engaged the giant in fierce combat.

The two traded blows amidst the ruins, fists and legs intertwining to produce continuous explosions. Although Li An's strength was considerable, he appeared somewhat strained under the giant's fierce assault. He kept retreating, searching for an opportunity to counterattack.

"Hmph, is this all the skill you possess?" the giant sneered, his offensive becoming even more ferocious.

Li An clenched his teeth tightly, an unyielding fighting spirit surging within his heart. He knew he could not be defeated like this. Thus, gritting his teeth fiercely, he erupted with even greater power and launched a counterattack against the giant.

The two fought fiercely in the ruins for hundreds of exchanges; although Li An sustained many injuries, his indomitable will and superb combat skills gradually allowed him to gain the upper hand. Seizing an opportunity, he struck a fist into the giant's chest, sending the giant staggering backward.

"Now!" Li An shouted, his form shooting forward like an arrow leaving the bow as he charged at the giant. Clenching both hands into fists, he condensed his entire power and smashed it toward the giant's head.

"Bang!" A deafening crash rang out as Li An's fist pierced through the giant's head, causing the massive body to collapse with a thunderous roar. Li An stood in place, panting heavily; looking at the giant lying on the ground, his eyes flashed with the light of victory.
