Chapter 609

If given more time to grow, this guy would certainly become a very powerful opponent.

The Curse clenched his fists.

Although he had always been searching for an opponent strong enough to match him.

But this person could never be Luo En, because the other would very likely kill him.

The Curse slightly closed his eyes and said.

"At this moment, I hope to give you my strongest attack—it's a form of respect for you."

As he spoke, a large mass of energy surged from his palm, swiftly enveloping Luo En and rapidly contracting.

Luo En sensed the arrival of that energy; he felt the immense destructive power contained within it.

He was greatly surprised, but at this moment he could no longer suppress the rage within his body.

That energy rapidly spread outward.

Radiating from Luo En, it surged like a tidal wave in all directions.

At the same time, Luo En reached out, and that massive energy shot toward the energy released by The Curse.

The two energies collided, and Luo En felt a sudden constriction in his chest.

He quickly retreated, trying to dissipate the force of the impact.

But the speed of this impact was far too fast.

Despite using all his strength, Luo En was still struck by the force.

He plummeted to the ground like a kite with its string cut.

Boom—the sound echoed as Luo En sank deeply into the earth.

He felt his head grow dizzy; it took him a long time to get up.

In contrast, The Curse's condition was also dire.

He hadn't expected Luo En to unleash such immense energy in that instant.

Energy capable of countering his own—and even inflicting injury upon him.

He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth.

"This guy must be eliminated—but not now."

The Curse could sense that if he continued fighting Luo En now, he might very well be killed by him.

Because Luo En was at the peak of his rage.

The energy he unleashed even startled The Curse inwardly; thus, he must temporarily avoid his sharp edge.

Thinking this, The Curse transformed into a wisp of green smoke and swiftly fled into the distance.

Luo En noticed the sudden disappearance of The Curse's aura nearby—he knew The Curse had escaped.

The moment The Curse left, Taiyirang collapsed onto the ground.

The tentacles inside his body rapidly dissipated, and his gaze regained clarity.

Taiyirang let out a long breath, but what came out was mostly blood.

His breath had become extremely faint—he clearly could not hold on much longer.

Luo En hurried to Taiyirang's side.

But Taiyirang looked at Luo En and said helplessly.

"I can feel my body has deteriorated terribly; I can no longer fight alongside you."

"But please don't give up—fight to the end. No matter what, don't give The Curse a chance to live."

Luo En nodded heavily and gripped Taiyirang's hand.

He could feel Taiyirang's hand growing colder by the moment; soon, Taiyirang closed his eyes.

Luo En let out a helpless sigh—he had finally found a good comrade.

Yet he never imagined this would happen.

But now there was nothing he could do—he could only watch helplessly as Taiyirang departed.

Just as Luo En was overwhelmed with grief, Taiyirang suddenly opened his eyes.

He said, puzzled.

"Why haven't I died yet?"

Luo En was also puzzled—just moments ago, Taiyirang's breath had been threadbare, utterly beyond recovery.

And it was clear his injuries were extremely severe, yet now his condition seemed far better than before.

Luo En quickly examined his body and found his wounds had nearly fully healed.

Luo En said helplessly.

"Your wounds have healed. It seems you won't die anytime soon."

Taiyirang stared at his own wounds and suddenly understood.

"I didn't realize my self-healing ability was even stronger than I thought."

"I assumed wounds like these would have killed me a hundred times over, yet here I am still alive."

After saying that, he sat up, though the still-unhealed wounds made him grimace.

But soon he felt a sense of lightness throughout his body.

A short while later, when Luo En checked his wounds again, he was astonished to find they had completely healed.

This guy might as well have an immortal body.

Luo En couldn't help but marvel.

He never imagined his body possessed such powerful self-healing ability.

"I never expected that guy to get away."

Taiyiro sighed helplessly.

"I don't know when I'll get another chance to kill him."

Luo En said.

"I think if he doesn't run away, it won't be him who gets killed—it'll be the two of us."

At that time, both of them were already at their last strength.

Especially Taiyiro, even though he had strong self-healing abilities.

But clearly, at that moment he had no time to slowly recover his body.

He had been beaten into unconsciousness.

And Luo En's condition was no better.

Although Luo En had unleashed a burst of power far beyond his actual level in that instant.

But he knew such a state could not last long.

If the opponent had been able to hold out just a little longer, he might have been forced to exit that state.

Leaving himself vulnerable in an extreme state of weakness.

And at that point, he would have been utterly powerless, like fish on a chopping block.

"So where should we go now?"

Taiyiro asked.

Luo En thought for a moment and said.

"I need to return to the Academy and see how they are doing.

Moreover, I can feel I still lack a great deal of knowledge—I need to study more."

But Taiyiro sneered.

"What use are those dull, boring lessons at the Academy?

It's better to follow me and hunt down curses—kill a few, and you'll understand everything.

There's no need to learn those rigid, outdated lessons at the Academy."

Luo En knew Taiyiro's words held some truth, but what he needed now were precisely those rigid, outdated lessons.

The more he understood the weaknesses of these curses, the faster he could strike them down.

Rather than blindly fighting them head-on, which was extremely unwise.

When Luo En returned to the school, he saw Nai Zi's expression was clearly displeased.

"What's going on? I told you to return to the school and find me.

Why did you take so long? Where have you been?"

Luo En said helplessly.
