Chapter 581

Luo En slammed hard onto the ground.

He felt the world spinning around him, every sight blurring in an instant.

It took him a long while to regain his senses.

That blow had almost taken his life.

Luo En struggled to his feet and saw a deep groove where he had lain.

Clearly, the force behind it had been immense.

Leaning on his broken longsword, Luo En slowly rose.

"Damn it."

This thing was far stronger than he had imagined.

He had thought he might have escaped several times already.

But the opponent's sudden attack left him no chance to flee.

"Do you understand my terror now?"

That voice sounded again beside Luo En's ear.

"Too bad, it's already too late.

You have no chance to escape anymore.

Now you'll only die here, rot here."

The voice dripped with mockery.

It seemed to relish Luo En's fearful gaze, eagerly awaiting his screams and pleas.

Sadly, Luo En showed no fear—he smiled faintly.

"I admit you're truly powerful.

But so what? I'll kill you."

Saying this, Luo En held the broken sword horizontally before his chest.

"Come at me. Let me see just how far your limits extend."

As he spoke, Luo En swiftly swung the broken sword.

In truth, his injuries were already severe.

Yet once the broken sword was in his hand, he could still unleash fierce attacks.

The voice sounded distinctly surprised.

"I never expected you could still fight at this point.

I underestimated you—but too bad, even now you can't escape."

Before the words faded, countless tentacles coalesced again into several enormous ones, hurtling toward Luo En.

Each tentacle brimmed with terrifying energy, energy of immense destructive power.

Even before they reached him, Luo En felt the horrifying aura radiating from them.

Yet Luo En's face showed no panic—he kept the broken sword horizontal before his chest, guarding his vital points.

He knew that no matter the opponent, he must remain calm, never lose his composure.

And now was the moment he needed calm most.

If he faltered even slightly now, the tentacles would seize the opening and strike him down instantly.

Luo En had already witnessed the power of these tentacles.

If not for him, Taiy郎 might have been drained to death by them long ago.

Boom—

A deep pit instantly formed where Luo En had been.

But Luo En had already dodged, putting distance between himself and the tentacle.

Yet he did not lower his guard.

Two more tentacles had already launched another attack from his sides.

Luo En's broken sword slashed hard into one of the tentacles.

He felt as if he had struck steel.

With a sharp crack, sparks flew from his broken sword.

But the tentacle remained unharmed.

"Do you really think this one blade can hurt me? Without cursed power, you're nothing."

The voice sounded again beside Luo En's ear.

Luo En roared.

"Shut up. I'll show you just how powerful I am soon."

Saying this, Luo En forced himself to calm down.

He carefully observed his surroundings.

He noticed that every time the tentacles attacked, they concealed one particular spot.

And that spot seemed the weakest of all.

Moreover, Luo En realized all the tentacles appeared to originate from that very place.

Though they seemed to surge from all directions, they were all born from a single source.

Then they surrounded Luo En from every side.

When he realized this, Luo En understood.

Though the opponent truly possessed immense power, he was not invincible.

He still had weaknesses, but they were hard for others to find.

The Curse seemed to have sensed that Luo En had discovered his weakness.

He spoke with some anger.

"Don't think you've figured out some truth—that's not it at all.

You're no match for me."

As he spoke, surging tentacles surged forth once more.

They coalesced into one massive tentacle after another.

And their attacks grew stronger and faster.

Luo En knew his guess might be correct.

Otherwise, why would the opponent be so angry now?

Luo En said.

"If that's the case, then I'll give it a try."

As he spoke, he increased his speed.

But the opponent's attacks grew ever more ferocious; Luo En could barely hold them off.

Previously, he had barely managed to hold his ground with those two broken blades, avoiding injury from the tentacles.

But now even the broken blades were pitted and cracked with countless fractures, on the verge of snapping.

If even this one weapon were destroyed, Luo En truly did not know how he could kill the Curse.
