Chapter 620

"Whatever conditions you set, as long as we can do it, we will do it."

Luo En said.

"It's simple: work for me."

The two energies froze, stunned that Luo En would make such a demand.

But realizing they had no choice if they wanted to live, they agreed to Luo En's terms.

"We can work for you, but we hope you'll spare our lives."

Then Luo En spoke to Naizi.

"That fellow hasn't left yet."

It's clear these villagers only recently became like this.

He must still be lingering nearby—we must drag him out."

Naizi said, puzzled.

"How can we force that fellow to reveal his true form?"

Luo En turned to the two energies.

"Do you have any ideas?"

One of the energies said.

"We heard that curse fears red intensely—if we suddenly decorate the whole village with red lanterns and red silk ribbons."

He'll likely appear out of revulsion."

Though this method can lure him out, it has a major drawback."

If he flies into a rage, we might all lose our lives."

Luo En waved his hand.

"Fine, do it as you said."

Decorating the village with lanterns naturally had to wait until daytime.

During the day, the villagers vanished.

Luo En, Naizi, and the two energies immediately spread red lanterns and red silk ribbons throughout the entire village.

When all the decorations were in place, Luo En felt as if he had stepped into a new world.

216. The Curse Appears

The two energies, seeing the scene before them, murmured in awe.

"If that curse sees this, he'll probably fly into a rage."

That night, Luo En and the others hid near the village, watching it intently.

The village now glowed with candles, immersed in light.

But unlike before, the light was entirely red.

All of them held their breath, filled with anticipation, wondering how the curse would reveal itself.

Suddenly, the sky grew darker and heavier.

Luo En and the others looked up—their instincts told them the enemy was about to appear.

Naizi said.

"Be careful—don't let him sense our presence."

Luo En nodded, glancing at the two energies.

The two energies trembled violently; the true curse exerted overwhelming suppression over them.

One of the energies said.

"Maybe bringing us here was a foolish choice."

At that moment, a thunderclap split the sky.

The sudden lightning bolt under a clear sky sent chills down everyone's spines.

A dark, looming shadow suddenly appeared above the village.

It was a colossal entity—he was furious indeed, his eyes glowing blood-red.

"Who? Who did this?"

The furious voice echoed through the air.

The villagers did not sense the curse's voice, but it reached Luo En and the others.

They felt their souls tremble as if shaken.

"This guy is truly powerful."

Luo En thought silently.

At that moment, he sensed the terrifying energy the opponent had unleashed.

It far surpassed ordinary curses.

No wonder he could control the entire village so easily.

"Should we strike?"

Naizi asked, her hands already gripping her twin blades.

She was eager to attack, but Luo En shook his head slightly.

"Not yet—this isn't the time."

Then Luo En gazed ahead; the curse's shadow churned wildly through everything around it.

His furious gaze swept the surroundings—he would soon spot Luo En and the others hiding in the shadows.

Just as his gaze was about to settle upon them, Luo En suddenly spoke.

"Now."

After saying that, he had already rushed out.

In the enhancement of cursed energy, Luo En became a lingering shadow, swiftly closing in on the black silhouette.

He had been observing the black shadow's weakness all along.

Though the black mirror was indeed powerful, every curse had its weakness.

Luo En noticed that when the shadow churned, a large gap appeared on its body—there, surely, lay its weakness.

Though uncertain, Luo En was willing to try now.

Luo En's speed was swift; he had already drawn near the black shadow.

At that moment, the black shadow saw Luo En and let out a furious roar.

"Is it you? A mere ant dares oppose me."

Boom—a massive fist slammed down before Luo En.

Luo En instantly shifted his form, evading the fist.

But the next second, he felt a shockwave hurl him to the ground.

Luo En rolled over and rose to his feet; now he felt the energy the opponent had unleashed.

He avoided the attacks and continuously sought an opening.

Roaring explosions kept ringing in Luo En's ears.

Each dodge grew increasingly difficult.

Though he had already spotted the curse's weakness earlier,

in actual combat, he realized the opponent was far more troublesome than he'd imagined.

Another series of explosions erupted.

Though Luo En dodged, he felt half his body go numb.

The previous impact had directly transmitted to his internal organs, churning his qi and blood.

Two flashes of cold light sliced through the air as Naizi swung twin blades, slashing fiercely at the curse.

Both blades were infused with cursed energy, granting them immense power.

Yet they left not a single scratch on the curse.

Naizi's face turned pale; she was slapped away like a ragdoll.

She crashed hard to the ground, taking a long while to recover.

That single slap had nearly knocked her unconscious.

Seeing this, Luo En immediately stepped in front of Naizi, blocking the next strike for her.

"Damn, this guy is terrifying."
