Chapter 560

Even she couldn't handle the opponent—could Luo En really succeed just by stepping forward?

But she couldn't speak at all; she felt weightless, then suddenly crashed to the ground.

A terrifying force surged from the ground, making her entire body feel as if it had shattered.

At this moment, Luo En had already rushed to the front of the black mist.

Boom—a deafening explosion.

Luo En's fist unleashed an immensely powerful energy.

In that instant, the black mist seemed to sense fear and frantically fled in another direction.

Naizi stared at this scene in surprise.

She could feel how terrifying the Henggang contained in Luo En's previous punch had been.

This exceeded her understanding.

In her experience, no one had ever unleashed such a powerful Henggang.

This was impossible.

From someone who couldn't even release Henggang, suddenly unleashing such a powerful Henggang in just a few days.

Naizi would never believe it.

She looked at Luo En, her gaze growing cold.

Luo En pressed his advantage.

When the black mist tried to flee, Luo En appeared before it like lightning.

He punched again—this punch's energy instantly enveloped the black mist.

Then, a terrifying killing force instantly obliterated the black mist completely.

Having instantly annihilated the black mist, Luo En exhaled in relief.

He realized Henggang indeed inflicted severe damage on these curses.

Even if he hadn't released such immense energy just now, he could still have obliterated the black mist in an instant.

Then Luo En quickly moved to Naizi's side.

But Naizi's gaze at him was no longer the same as before.

Luo En asked with concern.

"How are you? Are you injured?"

Naizi turned her head away and said coldly.

"Of course I'm not injured—how could someone of my strength be hurt so easily?"

Saying this, she struggled to rise.

In that instant, she had felt her internal organs shaken violently.

When she stood up, intense pain surged through her body, making her frown tightly.

Yet before Luo En, she showed no sign of pain.

Instead, she turned and walked away quickly.

Luo En wanted to chase after her, but Naizi suddenly turned back.

She shouted at Luo En. "Stay away from me—I don't want to see you again."

Saying this, she ran off.

Luo En stared at this scene in surprise.

He truly didn't understand why Naizi's attitude toward him had changed so drastically.

He wanted to go ask for clarification, but her current state wasn't suitable for such a question.

Luo En decided to wait until she stabilized a bit, then ask again.

After eliminating the black mist,

Luo En suddenly noticed a black crystal lingering where the black mist had been.

The crystal looked extremely beautiful—though black, its facets were sharp and gleamed brilliantly in the sunlight.

Luo En quickly picked it up.

He held it under the sunlight and examined the crystal closely.

There wasn't a single flaw.

The entire thing was perfectly intact, and the craftsmanship was exquisite.

Could this have been left behind by the black mist? Luo En carefully sensed the crystal.

He felt a very strange energy slowly flowing within it.

Although he desperately wanted to know what this energy was,

when he tried to penetrate it with his consciousness,

he found the energy suddenly became motionless.

He couldn't truly comprehend this energy at all.

At this moment, the villagers hiding inside their houses emerged.

Seeing Luo En, they realized he had defeated the curse.

Everyone cheered and surrounded him.

One old man nearly knelt before Luo En.

He said, "If you hadn't come, we wouldn't have known what to do.

Perhaps our entire village would have been destroyed."

Saying this, he looked around.

Many villagers have already fallen victim to it.

Although we very much want to know who is responsible.

But none of us have the ability.

People keep dying. We thought we would never again see this village flourish.

But we never expected your arrival to solve our greatest problem.

What do you want?

Whatever you ask for, if we can do it, we will spare no effort.

Luo En said, "Solving this curse for you is already within my duty.

Since I have this ability, I must bear this responsibility.

I do not need your thanks, nor any reward."

As he spoke these words, he suddenly pulled out the black crystal from his pocket.

He said, "Do you know what this is?"

The villagers stared at the crystal in Luo En's hand with great confusion.

They examined it from all angles, but not a single person could accurately name it.

The old man said.

"It's clear this object is of considerable value.

The villagers are all common folk; no one here could possess something like this.

If you wish to find out what it truly is, ask around in the village—those people have seen much.

Perhaps someone will know."

Luo En nodded and took his leave of the villagers.

After leaving the village, he felt it suddenly become harmonious.

The heavy aura vanished instantly, and the sinister winds disappeared as well.

It seems this curse ran rampant in the village, unleashing all kinds of disasters.

Indeed, a pest—must be eradicated by the Root.

Luo En kept fiddling with the black crystal in his hand when suddenly, the crystal seemed to react.

Luo En stared at the crystal in surprise; he noticed a faint glow flickering across its surface.

But the crystal's material could not possibly emit such light.

It must be because the energy within has been activated.

Luo En stared at the crystal in surprise, wanting to identify what that energy was.

But that energy was extremely concealed.
