Chapter 589

After saying that, Ron once again channeled energy into Taichiro's body.

【1】 After speaking, Luo En once again infused energy into Taiyilang's body.

And that terrifying pressure was madly crushing toward the two of them.

【2】 And that terrifying pressure was madly crushing toward the two of them.

Ron couldn't help but clench his fists; he could feel that pressure about to crush his bones.

【3】 Luo En clenched his fists involuntarily; he could feel that pressure nearly crushing his bones.

Within that pressure there was also an extremely terrifying energy, rapidly invading his body.

【4】 Within that pressure was another terrifying energy, rapidly invading his body.

Trying to seize control of his body.

【5】 Seeking to seize control of his body.

Ron would never allow such a thing to happen.

【6】 Luo En would never allow such a thing to happen.

Taichiro said with difficulty.

【7】 Taiyilang spoke with difficulty.

"I really didn't expect that at the very last moment I'd meet a good friend like you.

【8】 "I never expected that at the final moment, I'd meet a friend like you.

If we can still live after this, I must treat you to a few drinks.

【9】 If we survive this, I'll buy you several drinks.

As a jujutsu sorcerer, I've always been fighting curses, and never had a life of my own.

【10】 As a sorcerer, I've always fought curses—never had the life I was meant to have.

But I don't regret becoming a jujutsu sorcerer.

【11】 But I don't regret becoming a sorcerer.

From the very first day I became a jujutsu sorcerer, I knew this battle would be one I'd keep fighting.

【12】 From the first day I became a sorcerer, I knew this battle would never end.

But the only thing I regret now is that I can't get to know you any better."

【13】 But now, the only thing I regret is not being able to talk with you any further."

After saying that, Taichiro gave a somewhat dejected smile.

【14】 After speaking, Taiyilang gave a weary smile.

Having never studied at an academy as a jujutsu sorcerer, he was extremely lonely.

【15】 As a sorcerer who never studied at a academy, he was profoundly alone.

He didn't even know he would have allies, that he would fight side by side with someone.

【16】 He never imagined he'd have an ally, or fight side by side with someone.

So in the days before, he always faced those curses alone.

【17】 So in past days, he always faced these curses alone.

After dealing with those curses, he would brush off his clothes and leave, never leaving behind any name.

【18】 After eliminating these curses, he'd simply walk away, leaving no name behind.

Ron forced a slight smile.

【19】 Luo En forced a faint smile.

"Don't say such gloomy things now; we need to save all our strength to deal with these damn tentacles.

【20】 "Don't talk like that now—we must save all our strength for these damn tentacles.

We will definitely be able to escape.

【21】 We'll definitely escape.

Trust me, as long as we have firm conviction, we won't lose so easily."

【22】 Believe me—only with unshakable conviction can you never lose easily."

Saying this, he exerted himself once more, when all the strength in his body gathered together.

【23】 As he spoke, he pushed again; when all his strength converged.

Ron could feel a new power rapidly growing within him.

【24】 Luo En felt a new power rapidly sprouting within him.

He didn't know where this power came from, but it felt very comfortable to him.

【25】 He didn't know where this power came from, but it felt incredibly soothing.

A moment later, he could feel himself withstanding that pressure.

【26】 Moments later, he felt himself resisting that pressure.

Ron said.

【27】 Luo En said.

"Let's take this chance and charge out in one go."

【28】 "Now's the chance—let's surge out together."

After saying that, he once again channeled a large amount of energy into Taichiro.

【29】 After speaking, he once again poured vast energy into Taiyilang.

When the two streams of energy intertwined, Taichiro felt his body full of vigor.

【30】 When the two energies intertwined, Taiyilang felt his strength restored.

Knowing this was only a final flare before the end, that this energy would never truly belong to him.

【31】 He knew it was only a final flare—this energy ultimately wasn't his.

And his own energy had long since been completely exhausted.

【32】 His own energy had long been exhausted.

He looked at Ron.

【33】 He looked at Luo En.

"Which direction should we charge toward?"

【34】 "Which way do we charge?"

Ron could sense a spot nearby where the energy was very thin.

【35】 Luo En sensed a weak spot in the surrounding energy.

It's just that the place was quite far from here.

【36】 But that spot was far away.

Presumably the other party had already realized Ron had detected where their vital point lay, which was why they had brought down such terrifying pressure.

【37】 The enemy must have realized Luo En detected his weak point, hence the crushing pressure.

Wanting to crush them to death before they could escape.

【38】 Trying to crush them to death before they could escape.

Ron said.

【39】 Luo En said.

"Maybe there's only one chance now—that ball of light below.

【40】 "Maybe now there's only one chance—the light below.

Can you see it?"

【41】 Can you see it?"

Taichiro looked in the direction Ron was pointing.

【42】 Taiyilang followed Luo En's pointing direction.

He could indeed see a faint light there.

【43】 He indeed saw a faint glow there.

Although it was very faint, with his current eyesight he could easily make it out.

【44】 Though extremely faint, his current vision could easily discern it.

He nodded and said.

【45】 He nodded and said.

"Are we supposed to go there now?"

【46】 "Are we going there now?"

That place was very far from here.

【47】 That place was very far from here.

Given their current condition, reaching there would be extremely difficult.

【48】 With their current condition, reaching it would be extremely difficult.

Taichiro also knew that even if he gave it everything he had, he might not make it there.

【49】 Taiyilang knew even if he used all his strength, he might not make it there.

His current condition was very worrying.

【50】 His current state was dire.

Ron nodded and said.

【51】 Luo En nodded and said.

"That's right, that place.

【52】 "Yes—that's the place.

If we charge there in one go, maybe we can escape.

【53】 If we surge all the way there, maybe we can escape.

But..."

【54】 But…"

He looked at Taichiro; he also knew Taichiro's condition was very bad right now.

【55】 He looked at Taiyilang—he knew Taiyilang's condition was terrible.

If they just stubbornly pushed forward, Taichiro wouldn't be able to hold on much longer.

【56】 If they pushed blindly, Taiyilang couldn't hold out long.

But the time left for them wasn't much either.

【57】 But time left for them was running out.

Those terrifying crushing forces would soon break through the energy defense they had created.

【58】 Those terrifying crushing forces would soon break through their energy defenses.

And by then neither of them would be able to withstand that terrifying pressure.

【59】 And then neither of them could resist that terrifying pressure.

Taichiro said.

【60】 Taiyilang said.

"If that's the case, then let's risk it all."

"After all, this life was going to rot here eventually."

Luo En nodded; up until now, they had always been risking it.

Though they had nearly died several times, they had managed to survive.

Luo En said.

"Then let's begin now."

Before the words had fully left his mouth, Luo En suddenly pushed off with all his strength, shooting downward like an arrow released from a bow.

Taiyaro followed close behind.

Wind rushed past their ears.

The tentacles saw Luo En frantically charging toward the faint light.

They knew Luo En had found the vital point.

So they surged toward Luo En, trying to stop him.

These tentacles kept changing in size.

They suddenly coalesced into one thick mass, then exploded outward with speed pushed to its extreme.

At this speed, they would soon catch up to Luo En.

Luo En sensed a faint rustling behind him.

He knew it was the tentacles attacking.

But he also knew he could not stop.

The time left to him was already extremely short.

If he engaged these tentacles in battle, this chance would vanish in an instant.

Luo En clenched his Yaguan and spoke.

"Don't stop under any circumstances. Don't fight the tentacles."

"Even if they bite you, don't stop."

Taiyaro nodded; he knew full well how urgent the situation was.

That faint light was just within reach.

Only one small step remained—they could break free.

But suddenly, Taiyaro was bitten by one of the tentacles.

This tentacle was several times larger than the others.

Its speed was astonishing—it slammed Taiyaro into the air.

He crashed onto a protruding rock.
