Chapter 623

The two energy bodies beside Luo En suddenly spoke.

"Some curses are merely minor thugs; they themselves pose no real threat.

But the truly powerful ones are the great curses—just now, the one you eliminated was a great curse."

As they spoke, Luo En suddenly felt the atmosphere around him grow strange.

He looked around and realized they had arrived at a remote, desolate wasteland.

Just moments ago, they had been walking down a mountain path, yet in the blink of an eye, they found themselves on unfamiliar ground.

Naizi also noticed the surroundings; her face instantly turned grim.

"It seems we've been marked by a curse."

Luo En frowned slightly and said.

"It doesn't matter—no matter how many curses come, I can eliminate them all."

Luo En shouted loudly.

"Who are you? Come out!"

The two energy bodies began trembling violently and said.

"I sense an incredibly powerful aura—this curse's power is stronger than the one you just destroyed."

Before they finished speaking, their forms grew partially transparent.

Luo En immediately went on guard.

At that moment, a figure stepped out of the darkness and slowly walked toward Luo En.

Luo En could feel a powerful curse aura emanating from him.

He blocked Naizi behind himself, then stepped forward toward the figure.

"I didn't expect you to have killed him—you truly have considerable strength."

The figure chuckled, as if utterly unconcerned by Luo En.

Luo En snorted coldly.

"Is that so? Then I'll eliminate you next."

The man laughed.

"Young man, don't be overconfident—you may not even comprehend the full extent of a curse's power."

Luo En said.

"Then let me witness it for myself."

As he spoke, he struck suddenly, moving like lightning straight for the figure's heart.

Against curses, he had no patience for idle talk.

The opponent seemed to have anticipated this move—he stood perfectly still.

Luo En pierced straight through his chest.

Chapter 13, The Mastermind's Plan

"It seems there's more than one curse nearby."

Luo En's eyes turned icy; he suddenly struck, and a violent surge of energy swept toward that direction in an instant.

In that very moment, Luo En felt curse auras flooding toward him from all sides like tidal waves.

Meanwhile, the curse Luo En had just subdued retreated rapidly.

Taking advantage of Luo En's momentary hesitation, it had already put distance between them.

Luo En realized curses now surrounded him on all sides, glaring hungrily, eager to attack.

But the curse power Luo En now unleashed made them all wary.

"You brat, how dare you provoke us? You're asking for death."

The curse spoke coldly, yet dared not advance.

He had already witnessed Luo En's terrifying power—he now hoped all the curses would attack together.

"Attack together! Kill this bastard!"

As soon as he spoke, the curses surged toward Luo En like a mob.

Luo En laughed coldly.

"You dare to act boldly before me?"

Before he finished speaking, a massive divine statue reappeared behind him, and terrifying energy instantly engulfed all the curses.

Feeling the oppressive pressure radiating from the statue, the curses paled and tried to retreat.

But would Luo En give them the chance?

"I was planning to seek you out—but you've all come to me willingly."

Luo En chuckled, then clenched his hand sharply.

A terrifying force instantly crushed all the curses.

The surviving curses stared at Luo En in utter horror.

"This can't be—who is this guy? How can he be so powerful?"

They scrambled away in disarray.

But Luo En's form flickered—he left no curse unaccounted for.

In an instant, he struck, piercing the vital points of each curse, reducing them to dust.

After eliminating these curses, Luo En exhaled deeply.

Just now, he had felt that when the divine statue appeared, his body had once again slipped out of his control.

Fortunately, it was only for an instant.

But Luo En had some concerns, unsure of what intention this statue truly held.

Was it merely wanting him to deal with these curses?

Luo En feared this force might leave hidden dangers in his body.

Naizi hurried over, and when she saw Luo En was unharmed, she let out a breath of relief.

"How did it go?"

Naizi asked with concern.

Luo En said.

"Everything is settled. They can all return to normal lives."

As he spoke, Luo En noticed the villagers.

The villagers had now regained their original appearances.

When they saw the scene before them, their faces changed.

"This—what's going on? Why have our houses become so dilapidated?"

Luo En told the villagers the full story.

The villagers expressed deep gratitude to Luo En.

"Thank you so much. Without you, we might still have been like walking corpses."

We don't know how to thank you—this is cured pork we've saved for years."

"Please take it home and eat it."

Luo En felt a chill at the sight of cured pork, remembering what he had seen earlier; he quickly waved his hand and said:

"We don't particularly like cured pork. Thank you for your kindness."

Saying this, he pulled Naizi away from there.

On the road, Naizi furrowed her brow tightly.

"We just encountered so many curses—why did they gather together? Are they plotting something?"

Luo En nodded and said:

"I also felt something strange just now, but since we've dealt with them all, we should be at ease."

Naizi shook her head.

"No, something's off—I kept sensing that in that instant, countless curses surged toward that place."

"Yet only a few were truly eliminated by you; many curses must have already scattered away."

The two energy bodies beside Luo En suddenly spoke.

"Some curses are merely minor lackeys—they themselves pose no real threat."
