Chapter 628

At this moment, Luo En, having absorbed a vast amount of cursed energy, had elevated his strength by a full tier.

"Damn it, this guy looked so weak just now—why has he suddenly become so strong?"

The curse grumbled to itself and sprinted away again with all its might.

He had no will to resist at all anymore.

Earlier he had hoped to defeat Luo En, but now he only wanted to escape this place—even the grief of losing his son was forgotten.

Luo En stamped his foot down upon him.

"Why run? Don't you want revenge? Just now I crushed your son into dust."

Luo En vented nearly all his hatred toward curses upon this curse.

Seeing this curse before him, he felt as if he were witnessing them slaughtering people without mercy.

And now the curse was utterly hopeless.

Luo En's eyes had turned red with rage; he no longer cared about anything else—he only wanted to unleash all his hatred.

But just then, that man shouted loudly.

"Run quickly! Another cursed aura is arriving here!"

Before Luo En could react, cursed auras surged toward him from all directions.

This was not the aura emitted by the curse beneath his foot.

Someone else must be nearby—Luo En's heart turned cold.

He had defeated the previous curse only because of the cursed energy it had unleashed.

But if he had to face such intense cursed energy again, he couldn't be sure he'd escape unscathed.

Yet now it was too late to flee.

The curse beneath his foot immediately sighed in relief.

As soon as his reinforcements arrived, he could strike back at Luo En.

That man was desperate—he could sense the cursed auras from all around, terrifyingly strong.

Far stronger than the previous one.

That meant the opponent's power was even more fearsome.

The man stared anxiously at Luo En.

"Leave quickly—don't stay here. We're no match for him."

But Luo En shook his head.

"If we can't run, why keep fleeing? Whoever comes, I'll face them."

As he spoke, he gazed ahead.

Beneath the terrifying cursed aura, a deep shadow appeared before Luo En.

The opponent had performed teleportation without any movement at all.

Luo En felt a chill crawl up his spine.

Such terrifying speed.

If he truly fought this opponent, Luo En wasn't sure he could even match his speed.

Then Luo En suddenly unleashed a tremendous force—an explosive burst of energy erupted from beneath his feet.

It shattered the curse beneath him into fragments.

The cursed power he now unleashed instantly destroyed the curse's life force.

The shadow ahead, seeing Luo En kill its kind, flew into a rage.

It lunged at Luo En, reaching out to seize his life.

Luo En swiftly dodged the attack.

Then he grabbed the unconscious Nai Zi and sprinted rapidly in another direction.

He knew he couldn't clash head-on with this curse—he needed to avoid its edge first.

The curse hadn't expected Luo En to flee.

As he watched Luo En's retreating back, he realized he might not catch him.

Even the man inside the cage was astonished.

He had assumed Luo En would fight this one to the death—yet the man had simply fled.

"This guy is truly unpredictable."

The man smiled faintly.

The curse turned back and looked at the man in the cage.

"I advise you not to be so arrogant—once the plan is complete, it will be your death."

The man sneered.

"It's a pity, though—you still haven't completed that plan, so you still need me."

The curse snorted coldly and then chased after the direction Luo En had fled.

Luo En ran straight ahead, carrying Nai Zi on his back—he could still sense many cursed auras nearby.

Just now, for an instant, he felt his inner energy had become disordered.

That was because the intense battle had left him unable to fully expel the cursed energy within him.

Nai Zi slowly regained consciousness and looked at Luo En.

"What happened? Why are we here?"

Luo En said:

"I just fought that curse, but then an even stronger one suddenly appeared."

We must escape now, or we'll very likely die there.

Naizi let out a soft sigh.

"It's a pity we couldn't save that person too."

Luo En said.

"No matter, once we've escaped, I'll return."

But I doubt those curses will harm him."

Just now I heard he's tied to one of their plans."

As long as they haven't carried out that plan, he's safe."

We must go there and find out what the curses' plan truly is?"

Luo En circled the area, and once he confirmed no curses were pursuing, he returned to the previous spot.

The man, surprised to see Luo En return, asked:

"Why did you come back?"

Luo En said.

"Of course I came back to save you. I can see you're useful to us—but I have a question I'd like to ask you."

The man said.

"Go ahead."

Luo En said.

"I heard the curses are carrying out a plan—what exactly is it?"

Upon hearing this, the man's expression subtly changed.

"That plan is to destroy all humans in this world."

Luo En said, surprised:

"But why are you key? What are you supposed to do for them?"

The man said helplessly:

"They intend to turn me into a sacrifice, to offer me to the god they worship.

Once I'm sacrificed, the god will truly intervene—then…"

Here he lowered his head.

"They're waiting for the right moment. When the time is ripe,

they'll begin the plan—so we're running out of time."

Luo En frowned tightly, then began studying the cage that bound the man.

The cage was formed purely of energy, its surroundings suffused with curse power.
