Chapter 614

"This thing was given to me by him."

Naizi carefully examined the jade pendant, and said with some surprise.

"The pattern carved on this jade pendant seems familiar—I've seen it somewhere before."

The pattern on the jade pendant consisted of extremely strange markings, yet exuded an ancient aura.

Luo En said.

"Since he gave me this jade pendant, it must have great significance."

After saying that, he put away the jade pendant.

At that moment, Luo En sensed a powerful curse aura suddenly appear ahead.

Luo En immediately went on guard.

"Be careful—the curses have already surrounded us."

Naizi's expression subtly changed; she could also sense the curse auras.

Suddenly, a dark shadow appeared before Luo En, and he could feel the intense curse aura emanating from it.

He stepped back slightly, concentrating all his curse energy into his fist.

The dark shadow stared at Luo En and Naizi, not attacking immediately, but slowly extending its hand.

"Hand over the item."

Luo En froze for a moment—he immediately thought of the jade pendant.

He hadn't even held the jade pendant for a moment, and already the curses had sensed it.

Luo En feigned confusion.

"I don't know what item you mean—we don't have what you're looking for."

The dark shadow suddenly surged toward Luo En, moving at incredible speed.

"Hand over that item—you have no use for it. Its existence will only bring you needless disaster."

Luo En glanced at Naizi; she was extremely tense.

The curses they had faced before were nowhere near as powerful as this one.

The energy radiating from it had already made them both pale.

As Luo En was thinking of a strategy, several more curses suddenly appeared all around him.

The aura emitted by these curses was nearly identical—as if carved from the same mold.

This surprised Luo En deeply. He clenched his fist, thought for a moment, then decided to risk everything.

"I don't know where your item is, but it's certainly not on me."

After saying that, he gave Naizi a wink.

Naizi immediately understood.

She suddenly sprinted forward, releasing powerful curse energy in an attempt to break through.

The curse's expression subtly changed.

"I hope you won't make a decision you'll regret."

At that moment, Luo En also moved swiftly.

Though the curse before him was extremely powerful, he felt no fear whatsoever.

Naizi moved quickly, but the next instant she felt herself suddenly bound by an energy force.

She desperately gathered her curse energy and struck violently at the binding energy.

With her current strength, it was nearly impossible to escape from these curses.

Seeing this, Luo En rushed over to help Naizi, but she shouted loudly.

"Don't worry about me—just leave now!"

Luo En knew the jade pendant was likely their only lead, but how could he abandon Naizi?

He shouted loudly.

"We leave together."

After saying that, he charged forward again and reached out to grab Naizi.

But the next instant, he felt several new forces suddenly appear around him.

Luo En's body dropped sharply as the energies descended upon him all at once.

Luo En quickly retreated.

Yet in that instant, he felt an immensely terrifying force surge toward him.

It struck him instantly, sending him flying.

He crashed heavily to the ground, taking several moments to regain his senses.

At that moment, the jade pendant on his chest suddenly emitted a warm glow.

Luo En felt a strange power surge wildly into his body.

Moments later, it twisted rapidly within him.

Luo En was also astonished.

He realized the source of the energy was the jade pendant on his chest.

As he was still reeling in shock, the curse appeared before him again.

Luo En leapt to his feet and retreated frantically, putting distance between himself and the curse.

The curse stared coldly at Luo En.

"With your current strength, challenging me is childish."

"Hand over that item—perhaps I'll spare your life."

Luo En would never believe such nonsense about curses.

He certainly would not hand over this jade pendant.

The curses are so eager to obtain this jade pendant; surely it is the most crucial item among them.

Luo En shook his head.

"You can't have the jade pendant—not even through the door."

The curses' faces twisted with rage.

"If that's how it is, we'll kill you outright and take the jade pendant."

Earlier, when Luo En fought the curses, he had accidentally brushed past the Naizi.

He had already shoved the jade pendant into the Naizi's hand with lightning speed.

Now he deliberately acted as if the jade pendant were still on him, playing along with the curses.

And the Naizi was searching for an opportunity to escape from here.

The curses had always assumed the jade pendant was on Luo En, so they paid little attention to the Naizi.

The Naizi had quietly reached the base of a large tree.

Behind this tree, she could surely hide her figure; then the curses would have a hard time finding her.

But she looked at Luo En—she could not bear to let him risk his life here.

211, Jade Pendant

Yet after careful consideration, she resolved to leave immediately.

Luo En spoke coldly.

"Even if you kill me, you'll never find the jade pendant."

After saying that, Luo En sprinted swiftly in another direction—he believed the curses would surely chase him.

Indeed, in his perception, five or six curse figures were already closing in behind him.

Luo En relaxed slightly.

But the curses' speed was extremely fast.

Even though Luo En had pushed his speed to its absolute limit.

Yet soon he was still caught up by the curses.

Moments later, the five or six curses surrounded Luo En once again.

"Do you really think you can escape our grasp?"

The curse stared coldly at Luo En.

"Hand over that thing, and all can be settled. But now it seems you're utterly ungrateful."

Luo En clenched his fists tightly—he knew a fierce battle was now unavoidable.
