The black magic shockwave sent him flying, crashing heavily into the wall of a house.
Upon seeing this, the other mysterious figures in black robes immediately lost their will to fight and scattered in all directions.
Li An did not give chase, but turned to the women and asked with concern, "Are you all alright?"
"It's alright, Lord Li'an! These guys are no match for us."
Yuigahama Yui said with a smile.
Hiratsuka Shizuka stretched her limbs and said, "Hmph, that wasn't enough. I wish we had a few more tough opponents."
Yukinoshita frowned slightly and said, "This village is eerie; we should be careful."
Sagami Minami nodded and said, "That's right, there isn't a single villager here, only these mysterious people. It's really strange."
After thinking for a moment, Li An said, "Let's look around and see if we can find any clues."
The women responded in unison and then began searching the village.
As you walk into the houses, you find that the furnishings are very simple and that no one has lived there for a long time.
"What happened here? Why is there no one here?"
Yui Yuigahama asked in confusion.
"Perhaps these mysterious people have hidden all the villagers."
Hiratsuka Shizuka guessed.
Just then, Yukino Yukinoshita suddenly said, "I sensed a faint spiritual fluctuation, as if it was coming from over there."
As she spoke, she pointed to an ancient temple deep within the village.
Li An and the others immediately headed towards the temple.
The temple gates were tightly shut, and strange runes were carved on them.
Li An tried pushing the door, but found that it wouldn't budge.
"Looks like I'll have to put in some effort."
"Li An said, then channeled his mysterious power and pushed hard.
The door slowly opened, and a musty smell wafted out.
The group entered the temple, which was dark and damp, with only a few dim oil lamps flickering inside. In the very center of the temple stood a colossal statue, upon which was carved a grotesque monster.
"What is this thing?" Yui Yuigahama asked in horror.
"I don't know, but it feels very evil." Hiratsuka Shizuka looked at the statue warily.
Yukinoshita closed her eyes and used her spiritual power to sense the surrounding atmosphere.
A moment later, she opened her eyes and said, "I sense a powerful magical fluctuation emanating from this statue, and this magic is filled with an evil aura."
Sagami Minami said, "Could it be that these mysterious people are worshipping this monster?"
Li An frowned and said, "Possibly! We need to be careful; this monster might not be simple."

Just as everyone was discussing this, the statue suddenly emitted a strange light and then slowly began to move.
The monster on the statue seemed to come alive, opening its blood-red eyes and staring at Li An and the others.
"Oh no, the monster has come back to life!"
Li An shouted, gripping his longsword, ready for battle.
The monster let out a low roar, then leaped off the statue and pounced on the group.
Without hesitation, Li An rushed forward, wielding his longsword and unleashing a sharp sword aura towards the monster.
The monster dodged the sword energy with a swift movement, then opened its gaping maw and spewed out a stream of black flames.
Li An quickly dodged to the side, the black flames grazing his body and landing on the ground, instantly burning a large crater in the ground.
"This guy is amazing!"
Yui Yuigahama exclaimed.
Hiratsuka Shizuka said, "Let's all attack together! I refuse to believe we can't beat it!"
The women unleashed their skills and attacked the monster.
Yui Yuigahama summoned countless vines, which coiled around the monster. The monster struggled, breaking all the vines, and then pounced on Yui Yuigahama.
Upon seeing this, Hiratsuka Shizuka rushed over and knocked the monster back with a single punch.
Yukinoshita used her mental power to attack the monster's consciousness, attempting to throw it into chaos.
Although the monster was powerful, it was struggling against Yukinoshita's mental attacks.
Sagami Minami continuously cast healing spells on her teammates from the rear to ensure everyone was in good condition.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Li An launched another attack, infusing his longsword with mysterious power and unleashing his strongest sword technique.
Chapter 140 The Absolute Power of the Gods! The Overbearing Aura of the God-Slaying Demon King, Annihilation?!
boom! boom! boom!
Boom!
With a roar, Li An unleashed a burst of light from his longsword, unleashing a massive sword shadow that slashed toward the monster.
The monster sensed the power of the sword and tried to dodge, but it was too late.
The sword flashed and slashed fiercely at the monster, cutting it in two.
The monster let out a piercing scream, then collapsed to the ground, turning into a wisp of black smoke and vanishing.
"Phew, finally solved." Li An breathed a sigh of relief and said.
The women all smiled with relief.
Yui Yuigahama exclaimed excitedly, "Lord Lean is amazing! That sword strike was so powerful!"
Hiratsuka Shizuka laughed and said, "Haha, that's right, Lord Li An's swordsmanship is getting more and more impressive."
Yukinoshita nodded slightly and said, "Thanks to everyone's cooperation, we were able to defeat this monster so smoothly this time."
Sagami Minami said, "Let's get out of here quickly; this village is too eerie."
Li An agreed to Sagami Minami's suggestion, saying, "Okay, let's go."
The group left the temple, preparing to leave the village.
Just as they reached the village entrance, they suddenly heard a faint cry for help.
"It sounds like someone is calling for help!" Yui Yuigahama said.
Li An and the others followed the cries for help and found several villagers locked inside a dilapidated house.
They quickly opened the door and rescued the villagers.
The villagers' eyes were filled with gratitude when they saw Li An and the others.
"Thank you for saving us," said an elderly villager.
"What exactly happened? Why did this village become like this?" Li An asked.
The villager sighed and said, "Our village has always worshipped a deity who will protect us."
But recently, a group of mysterious men in black robes came to our village. They said that the god we worship is evil and that we should give up our faith.
"We refused, so they locked us up and summoned that monster."
Li An frowned and said, "That monster is the god you worship?"
The villager shook his head and said, "No, that monster was summoned by the mysterious man in black robes. They wanted to use the monster to scare us and make us give up our faith."
But we know that the deity we worship is benevolent and will surely protect us.
Li An and the others exchanged glances, their hearts filled with doubt.
Things are getting increasingly complicated in this village.
"Where is the god you worship?"
Yukino asked, "What is it?"
The villager pointed in the direction of the temple and said, "The gods are in the temple, but we haven't felt their presence for a long time."
Li An decided to go to the temple again to find out more.
Back at the temple, they carefully searched every corner.
Finally, in the temple's basement, they discovered a mysterious altar.
The altar was covered in runes, and in the center stood a radiant crystal ball.
"What is this?" Yui Yuigahama asked curiously.
Li An stepped forward and carefully examined the crystal ball.
Suddenly, a blurry figure appeared inside the crystal ball.
