"How can this guy's abilities be so strange!" Qing Tianfang shouted angrily, swinging his spiked club and desperately trying to defend against the tentacle attacks. But there were just too many tentacles, and he was gradually becoming overwhelmed.

While dodging the tentacle attacks, Li An nervously analyzed Ibaraki-dōji's abilities. His forehead was covered in sweat, and his eyes revealed anxiety and focus. Suddenly, his eyes lit up, as if he had discovered something.

"Listen up, everyone! His tentacles' weak point is at the base. Let's focus our attack there!" Li An shouted.

Upon hearing this, everyone immediately changed their attack strategy. They concentrated their forces and launched an attack on the roots of Ibaraki-dōji's tentacles. In an instant, flashes of light and explosions filled the air.

Ibaraki-dōji seemed to sense the danger, and he began frantically waving his tentacles, trying to fend off the attacks. The battle reached a stalemate, with both sides exchanging blows and unable to gain the upper hand. The surrounding demons hid in fear at a distance, not daring to approach, and the tense atmosphere, like an invisible net, tightly enveloped the entire battlefield.

Just as the battle reached a stalemate, Li An discovered a weakness in Ibaraki-doji. It turned out that his body would briefly pause every time he launched a powerful attack.

"Now!" Li An thought to himself. He quickly exchanged a glance with Nura Rikuo and Yuki-onna, and the three of them nodded in unison.

"Rikuo, Yuki-onna, let's launch an attack together!" Li An shouted.

Nura Rikuo leaped high into the air, his demon sword gathering powerful demonic energy. His eyes revealed determination and resolve: "Secret Technique: Demon Binding!" A massive demonic energy slash flew towards Ibaraki-dōji, causing the space to tremble wherever it passed.

The Snow Woman chanted incantations, and the surrounding temperature plummeted. Countless ice spikes rained down on Ibaraki-dōji like a storm. These ice spikes were incredibly sharp, gleaming with a cold light.

Not to be outdone, Li An concentrated all his spiritual power, condensing it into a massive spiritual sword. His eyes burned with fighting spirit as he roared, "Watch this!" The spiritual sword, gleaming brightly, pierced towards Ibaraki-doji.

Ibaraki-dōji sensed the power of the attack and tried to dodge, but it was too late. His body was momentarily stunned as he was struck by the three powerful forces.

"Ah!" Ibaraki-dōji let out a painful scream as his body was sent flying by the powerful force, crashing heavily into a mountain. The entire mountain shook violently from the impact, collapsing and billowing dust.

"I did it!" Li An shouted excitedly. A victorious smile appeared on his face, but his body was also somewhat weak due to the excessive consumption of spiritual energy.

With Ibaraki-dōji defeated, this thrilling battle finally came to an end. The victory of Li An and his companions made them famous throughout the yokai world, and the yokai were filled with awe and gratitude towards them.

Guo Yao ran over excitedly and hugged Li An tightly: "You're amazing, Li An!" Her eyes were glistening with tears, a mixture of worry for Li An and pride in him.

Li An gently stroked Guo Yao's hair and said softly, "It's alright, we won."

Chapter 299 The only way to go

Night fell like a vast black ribbon, gently yet resolutely covering the entire world. All was silent, save for the whispering wind in the darkness. Li An and Guo Yao stood side-by-side at the entrance to an ancient and mysterious street, the very path through which, according to legend, a procession of a hundred ghosts would roam.

“An, I…I’m a little scared.” Guo Yao’s voice trembled slightly as she gripped Li An’s hand tightly, her palms sweating. Her eyes were wide open as she anxiously surveyed the dark street before her, the old buildings on either side of the street appearing shadowy in the night like lurking beasts.

Li An gently patted Guo Yao's hand, giving her a reassuring look, trying to put her at ease. "Don't be afraid, I'm here," he said softly. Although his tone was calm, his eyes revealed vigilance as he scanned the surroundings, not missing any corner that might be lurking in danger.

The moment they stepped onto the street, a chill swept over them, as if countless icy hands were gently caressing their skin. The surrounding air seemed to thicken, making breathing heavy and difficult. A thin mist hung over the street, within which various eerie lights flickered—ghostly green flames, shimmering demonic glows—as if countless eyes were watching them from the darkness.

"Is this the street where a hundred demons roam at night..." Li An murmured to himself. He could feel an unprecedented sense of oppression, as if an invisible mountain was pressing down on his heart. Many demons seemed to be waiting for something, and an eerie stillness filled the air, like the calm before a storm.

Suddenly, a sharp whistle shattered the silence, and a horde of powerful monsters surged forth from all directions. They varied in form; some were as gigantic as mountains, others as small and agile as ghosts; some possessed ferocious fangs, while others emitted a nauseating stench. The monsters' eyes gleamed with greed and savagery, clearly indicating they had come prepared.

"Watch out!" Li An shouted, quickly shielding Guo Yao behind him while gathering powerful spiritual energy in his hands. His eyes revealed determination and resolve as he fearlessly stared at the approaching monsters.

"Haha, humans, today is your death day!" A gigantic minotaur roared, brandishing its massive axe. Its voice boomed like a bell, causing the surrounding air to vibrate.

"You think you can kill us? Not so easy!" Li An retorted defiantly. His words had barely left his lips when the horde of monsters surged forward like a tidal wave. Li An swiftly launched his attack, his spiritual power transforming into beams of light that hurtled towards the monsters. However, these monsters possessed diverse abilities and coordinated perfectly; some excelled in defense, others in offense, and still others could interfere with Li An's spiritual power.

Just as Li An was locked in a fierce battle, a familiar figure appeared. "Li An, I'm here to help you!" It was Nurarihyon, holding a demon sword, his eyes resolute, and his body radiating a powerful demonic aura. His appearance filled Li An with joy.

"Lu Sheng, you've arrived!" Li An called out.

“Yes, we’ll fight side by side!” Nura Rikuo said.

The two stood back to back, fighting together against the horde of monsters. The Snow Woman assisted them, her hands moving gently, instantly filling the air with a bone-chilling cold. Snowflakes fell, transforming into sharp ice blades that shot towards the monsters.

Chapter 300: Everyone is injured

The battle was exceptionally fierce, with both sides sustaining injuries. Li An's spiritual energy was rapidly depleting, and he had sustained several wounds, his clothes stained with blood. Nura Rikuo's demonic energy was also somewhat depleted, but he gritted his teeth and persevered. The Yuki-onna, due to overuse of her ice-based abilities, had turned ashen-white.

"Damn it, these monsters are too tenacious!" Li An said through gritted teeth. A hint of anxiety was in his eyes. He knew that if they couldn't turn the tide of battle soon, they would all be in danger.

Just then, Qing Tianfang appeared. He wielded a huge spiked club and roared, "Li An, let me handle this!" With that, he brandished the club and charged into the horde of monsters. His attacks were powerful and heavy, each strike repelling a group of monsters.

"Qingtianfang, thank you so much!" Li An said gratefully.

However, the enemy's attack did not stop. Ibaraki-dōji suddenly appeared, emanating a powerful evil aura, and holding a divine artifact in his hand. "Hmph, none of you will leave here alive!" he said viciously.

Li An was startled when he saw the divine weapon in Ibaraki-dōji's hand. He knew that this weapon possessed immense power, and if Ibaraki-dōji were to gain complete control of it, the consequences would be unimaginable. "I can't let him succeed!" Li An thought to himself, deciding to take the risk.

He concentrated all his spiritual power and charged towards Ibaraki-dōji. Upon seeing this, Ibaraki-dōji revealed a disdainful smile: "You think you can stop me?" With that, he brandished his divine weapon and launched an attack on Li An.

Li An skillfully dodged Ibaraki-dōji's attacks while searching for his weaknesses. In the midst of the fierce exchange, Li An noticed that Ibaraki-dōji would pause briefly when using his divine weapon. He was overjoyed, knowing his opportunity had arrived.

"Now!" Li An shouted, unleashing a powerful demonic skill. A beam of light shot from his hand, striking Ibaraki-dōji directly. Caught off guard, Ibaraki-dōji dropped his divine weapon to the ground.

"No!" Ibaraki-dōji roared in despair. He tried to pick up the divine weapon again, but Li An had already taken it first.

"Now, it's your turn!" Li An said coldly. He used the power of the divine artifact to attack the monsters that were still resisting. Faced with the overwhelming power of the artifact, the monsters fell one after another, no longer able to fight back...

"We...won?" Guo Yao said in disbelief. Her face was exhausted, but her eyes revealed joy and excitement.

Li An smiled and nodded: "Yes, we won." His voice was full of fatigue, but also carried a hint of pride.

Guo Yao ran over excitedly and hugged Li An tightly. "Thank goodness, we're finally alright!" Tears welled up in her eyes; at that moment, the fear and worry in her heart turned into joy and relief.

The surrounding demons, witnessing Li An's immense power, all displayed expressions of shock and awe. Some demons who were originally hostile even began to waver, their hearts filled with apprehension towards Li An.

Shouwu appeared beside Li An at some point, his voice deep and mysterious: "You've done very well, Li An. You've firmly established yourself in the world of yokai and have gathered enough information about yokai power."

Li An looked at Shou Wu, his heart filled with gratitude. "Thank you, Shou Wu. Without your help, we couldn't have made it this smoothly."

Chapter 301 Entering the Digital World

Shou Wu nodded slightly: "This is what you deserve. What are your plans now?"

Li An took a deep breath and said, "I'm going to enter the digital world. New challenges await me there."

Kubinashi was silent for a moment, then said, "The Digital World is a place full of unknowns and dangers. Be careful."

Li An nodded firmly: "I will."

A dazzling light flashed, and Li An and Guo Yao felt their vision blur. Their bodies seemed to be pulled by a powerful force, rapidly traversing a time tunnel. As the light gradually faded, they found themselves in a completely unfamiliar world.

The surrounding area was a strange forest, the tree trunks twisted and thick, the leaves shimmering with iridescent light, as if sculpted from crystal. The ground was covered with a thick layer of purple moss, soft and yielding underfoot, and emitting a faint fluorescent glow. A mysterious aura permeated the air, as if it contained boundless energy.

"Is this the Digital World?" Guo Yao gripped Li An's arm tightly, her eyes filled with curiosity and nervousness. Her voice trembled slightly; in this unfamiliar and dangerous environment, she instinctively relied on Li An.

Li An nodded, his eyes warily scanning his surroundings. His brow furrowed slightly, a sense of unease creeping into his heart. Although he had long been familiar with the Digital World through various anime and manga stories, being actually there in person still gave him an indescribable sense of oppression. Everything here was shrouded in the unknown, and danger seemed to lurk in every corner.

"Be careful, the Digimon here aren't familiar with us yet, they might be hostile," Li An said in a low voice, his hand unconsciously gripping the weapon at his waist, ready to deal with any possible attack.

Just then, several small Digimon darted out of the woods. They varied in appearance; some resembled winged foxes, while others looked like spiky spheres. They circled around Li An and Guo Yao, emitting sharp cries, their eyes filled with wariness and hostility.

"They don't seem to welcome us." Guo Yao's face paled slightly, and she instinctively hid behind Li An. Although these Digimon didn't look very big, she could feel the threat emanating from them.

Li An didn't act rashly. He smiled at the Digimon, trying to dispel their hostility with a gentle attitude. "Hello, we mean no harm. We just want to find Taichi Yagami and his companions." His voice was calm and gentle, hoping to communicate with the Digimon.

However, the Digimon didn't seem to understand him; their cries became even sharper, and one of them even lunged at Li An. Li An quickly dodged to the side, a cold glint in his eyes. It seemed that peaceful communication wasn't so easy.

"Looks like I have no choice but to make the first move," Li An muttered, crouching slightly to assume a fighting stance. Just as he was preparing to counterattack, a violent tremor suddenly came from afar. The ground began to shake, and the surrounding trees trembled, as if some enormous creature was approaching.

"What's that?" Guo Yao pointed in horror into the distance, where a group of enormous Digimon was charging towards them. These Digimon exuded a black aura, and their eyes flashed with an eerie red light, clearly corrupted by dark forces.

Chapter 302: Strength should not be underestimated

"They are Digimon controlled by dark forces!" Li An's expression turned serious. He knew a fierce battle was imminent. These Digimon were not to be underestimated, and there were many of them; they had to be careful.

"What do we do?" Guo Yao's voice was tinged with despair. Faced with such a powerful enemy, she felt an unprecedented fear.

"Let's find a place to hide first, and then figure out a way to fight back," Li An said, pulling Guo Yao quickly behind a large tree. His eyes were fixed on the Digimon being corrupted by darkness, his brain racing as he considered a countermeasure.

The Dark Digimon drew ever closer, their roars deafening, the surrounding air seeming to be pressed down by their imposing aura. Li An took a deep breath, preparing to launch his attack. He was confident that with his strength and wisdom, he could find the weaknesses of these Digimon.

However, when he actually fought these Digimon, he discovered that things were far more complicated than he had imagined. These Digimon's attack patterns were unusually unpredictable, completely unaffected by conventional weaknesses. Lian's attacks were easily neutralized time and time again, and a sense of frustration welled up within him.

"How could this be?" Li An gritted his teeth, his mind filled with doubt. He had never encountered such a formidable enemy before. These Digimon seemed to be controlled by a mysterious force, completely beyond his comprehension.

Just as everyone was in trouble, Guo Yao suddenly noticed that among the Digimon corrupted by darkness, one smaller Digimon seemed different. Its eyes revealed a struggle, as if it were trying to resist the control of the dark forces.

A thought struck Guo Yao. Ignoring Li An's attempts to stop her, she resolutely stepped out of her hiding place. "Wait, Guo Yao!" Li An cried out in alarm, trying to grab her, but it was too late.

Guo Yao slowly walked towards the Digimon, her eyes filled with tenderness and kindness. "Don't be afraid, I won't hurt you," she whispered, her voice carrying a reassuring strength.

The Digimon seemed touched by Guo Yao's words; its body trembled slightly, and the struggle in its eyes became more pronounced. Guo Yao continued to approach, gently reaching out to touch the Digimon's forehead.

Just then, something miraculous happened. The black aura surrounding the Digimon gradually dissipated, and its eyes regained their clear light. It looked at Guo Yao, its eyes filled with gratitude and trust.

"We did it!" Guo Yao shouted excitedly, her face beaming with joy.

Li An watched this scene in astonishment; he hadn't expected Guo Yao to possess such abilities. His heart was filled with surprise and pride, and he looked at Guo Yao with new respect.

"Guo Yao, you're amazing!" Li An ran over and hugged Guo Yao tightly. His eyes were full of love and admiration; Guo Yao's kindness and courage made him deeply proud.

The Digimon purified by Guo Yao turned around and roared at the other Digimon corrupted by darkness. Its voice was full of power, as if awakening the consciousness deep within them.

Under its influence, the dark aura surrounding several Digimon began to weaken, and their eyes gradually regained their clarity. However, most Digimon remained firmly controlled by the dark power, and they continued to attack Li An and Guo Yao.

"It seems there's still a lot of work to be done," Li An said, quickly adjusting his strategy to cooperate with Guo Yao and the purified Digimon in their fight against the Dark Digimon.

Chapter 303 The Sacred Plan

Just as the battle reached a stalemate, a familiar shout suddenly came from afar. "Over here! Come over here quickly!"
