Chapter 577

In such a short time, to wield the long blade to this extent is already quite impressive.

Know that back then, it took him several years just to become familiar with the long blade.

"It's clear you're a boy with real talent."

Taiyaro also said.

"It would be such a waste to die here."

You must leave quickly—I can buy you some time.

As long as you escape this cursed body, you'll have a glimmer of hope."

As he spoke, he propped himself up with his long blade.

Though his body was still extremely weak, he forced himself to stand straight.

Luo En said, "Don't push yourself like this. Believe me, I won't let you down."

Saying this, Luo En slashed through one of the charging tentacles.

At that moment, the curse seemed furious.

The tentacles surged wildly toward the two of them, merging into one massive tentacle.

These tentacles were frenzied and moved with terrifying speed.

In the blink of an eye, he arrived before them.

Then they split apart again, enveloping Luo En and Taiyaro.

Not only that, but with the arrival of the tentacles came vast amounts of poison gas.

This poison gas could rot skin and invade flesh.

If they still possessed immense cursed energy, they could easily resist this gas.

Unfortunately, Taiyaro's body was now extremely weak, his blood nearly drained.

So he had no way to use cursed energy to block the poison.

He said helplessly.

"It seems I'm doomed to die here."

After speaking, he looked solemnly at Luo En.

"Leave quickly—don't stay here, or neither of us will escape."

As he spoke, he threw his long blade to Luo En again.

"Use twin blades—twin blades offer better defense.

And it's clear you have a gift for combat; I believe you'll soon awaken the essence of twin blades."

As he spoke, he gripped his own blade and slashed fiercely at the tentacle.

"Go now—don't linger here."

He kept shouting at Luo En.

Luo En hesitated.

He could see the poison gas was everywhere, slowly creeping toward them.

If things continued like this, Taiyaro would surely die.

But Luo En was never one to give up.

No matter the danger, he never surrendered until the final moment.

He said, "Don't think this weak power can hold me back.

I'll make him feel the full force of my strength."

As he spoke, Luo En calmed his mind.

He planted both blades into the ground, then raised his fist.

It was still an ordinary punch, but Luo En poured all his strength into it.

He had converted all his energy into cursed energy, and now focused every ounce into his fist.

When Taiyaro felt Luo En throw that punch, his eyes suddenly widened.

A terrifying energy was flowing through Luo En's body.

He had never felt such terrifying energy before.

It surpassed his imagination.

He had encountered many powerful cursed energy users before.

Though they could wield immense cursed energy and unleash world-shattering power,

none had ever erupted with energy as horrifying as Luo En's now.

He said in disbelief.

"What kind of person is this guy?"

Luo En's punch struck the massive tentacle ahead.

For a brief pause, Luo En felt his cursed energy surge out.

Like a tidal wave, it flooded out in an instant, swallowing the tentacle whole.

"This time, I will win."

Luo En's gaze was more resolute than ever.

His punch had torn a gaping hole through the center.

With a thunderous boom, the tentacles vanished instantly, shattered to pieces.

The residual force even destroyed many surrounding areas.

At that moment, the entire space shook violently.

Luo En nearly lost his balance, and Taiyilang collapsed onto the ground at once.

He had been forcing himself to stand, but this shock made it impossible for him to stay upright.

Yet a smile appeared on Taiyilang's face.

"You hurt him—I can feel he's in great pain now."

"That punch of yours severely damaged him; I should believe you—you truly have the power to defeat him."

As Taiyilang spoke, he gazed at Luo En with hopeful eyes.

"Do it again—I'm sure you can break through his body."

Luo En nodded and immediately settled his mind.

He found that feeling once more.

At that moment, tentacles surged from all directions.

A quick glance revealed tens of thousands, densely packed, nearly filling the entire space.

This was the curse's final, desperate lunge.

A thunderous boom rang out.

Luo En felt his body jolt as a surge of energy violently recoiled back.

He sensed this energy exploding not far away.

With a terrifying explosion, a massive hole appeared ahead.

"Did we succeed?"

Taiyilang stared at the hole, his face filled with astonishment.

Though he knew Luo En was powerful, seeing that punch still left him deeply shocked.

This guy was terrifying—never before had he witnessed such force in a punch.

Luo En said.

"We've probably succeeded."

Saying this, he grabbed Taiyilang and sprinted forward.

Trying to rush through the passage quickly.

But wild howls echoed in his ears, filled with agony and rage.

At the same time, piercing whistles kept sounding.

Countless tentacles surged wildly toward Luo En and the others.

These tentacles were so dense they blotted out the sky, instantly covering the hole.

Luo En gritted his teeth and said.

"We must push through now."
