Chapter 629

The cage was extremely sturdy; ordinary energy could not possibly break it open.

So one must find the mechanism to open it.

Luo En said.

"Do you know where the mechanism to open this is?"

The man shook his head.

Luo En searched around and finally spotted a cluster of energy containers in a hidden corner.

Luo En picked up the energy container and examined it closely.

He noticed that the energy within the container resembled that of the cage.

Could this be the key? Luo En handed the container to the man.

"Do you know what this is?"

The man took the container, looked at it, then said.

"This must be the key to open the cage."

Saying this, he opened the container, and the liquid inside slowly flowed out, dripping onto the cage.

After a moment, the cage began to emit a hissing sound, as if being corroded.

In front of the cage, a small door appeared.

The man pushed open the door and stepped out, letting out a long breath.

"I never thought I'd escape again."

Luo En said.

"This place isn't safe to stay in; let's leave quickly and find a hidden spot to discuss further."

Saying this, they hurried forward.

But at that moment, they felt cursed energy approaching from all directions.

All three faces darkened slightly; they hadn't expected these curses to be so persistent, sensing their escape so quickly.

Luo En said to Naizi.

"You take him and leave immediately; I'll hold them off."

The man shook his head and said.

"No, that's too dangerous; you can't possibly fight them alone.

You'd be overpowered in an instant.

If we're going, we go together—only then can we possibly resist their attack."

Luo En said.

"Since you're the key, once you escape, their plan cannot succeed."

Saying this, he looked at his own hands.

"I can feel I've gained even stronger power now; I believe I can buy some time against them."

Saying this, he told Naizi.

"Go quickly."

Naizi knew this was no time for hesitation.

Besides, she was never a hesitant person; she grabbed the man's arm and said.

"Come, follow me,"

Saying this, the two of them sprinted off in another direction.

Luo En remained behind.

He looked toward the curses approaching from behind.

A faint smile curled his lips, "Looks like another thrilling battle is coming."

Saying this, a spectral image of a divine statue suddenly appeared behind him.

The curses, noticing Luo En waiting for them, were startled.

One of the curses shouted loudly.

"This guy's asking for death; let's kill him and then chase the others."

Saying this, his body swelled violently, transforming into a massive beast-like figure that charged at Luo En.

Each of his footsteps cracked the ground beneath him.

Luo En felt the immense pressure radiating from him.

This was indeed a very powerful opponent.

But it suited Luo En perfectly—he rushed forward and punched out with all his might.

The divine statue behind him mirrored the motion.

A terrifying explosion shook heaven and earth.

Luo En unleashed his full power; he would give everything in this battle.

With a thunderous boom, the giant humanoid monster was blasted backward.

The curse was shattered by the punch alone.

Even though it quickly reformed, it suffered severe damage.

It stared at Luo En in disbelief; it hadn't expected his power to have grown so rapidly.

"This guy's strange—everyone, attack together and kill him before he grows stronger."

The curse shouted loudly.

Then curses from all directions converged upon Luo En.

Luo En roughly counted—there were about seven or eight curses.

Each strand of these curses possessed immense power, and his body was filled with potent curse energy.

Luo En clenched his fists tightly; he knew this battle would be extremely difficult.

But he was not afraid.

With a thunderous boom, the entire ground cracked open.

Vast amounts of curse energy surged from the earth, gradually forming massive waves of energy.

Luo En saw this sight before him and was secretly startled—he had not expected these curses to possess such formidable offensive power.

Moments later, Luo En was darting and leaping among the curses.

He kept moving, dodging their attacks, waiting for the right moment to strike back.

Even so, Luo En held his ground against these curses for a long time.

But soon Luo En felt his stamina beginning to wane.

Though he could still resist their attacks.

Yet he sensed the power he could draw from within growing ever weaker.

If this continued, he would be defeated soon.

The curses seemed to notice Luo En's distress and shouted loudly.

"His strength is fading—keep attacking; we'll take him down soon."

But if they did this, they would never catch Nai Zi.

Though Luo En was trapped in dire peril, his heart felt strangely light.

By buying Nai Zi and the others more time, they gained greater chances to escape.

The curses seemed to read Luo En's thoughts and shouted loudly.

"Now all under heaven belongs to the curses—we have seized every place."

Don't think you can escape; in truth, he will soon be blocked by these curses."

"I've already spread word of their whereabouts—your struggle is meaningless."

Luo En clenched his fists and roared loudly.

"So what? You'll never catch them."

As he spoke, he charged forward again; a series of explosive crashes rang out.

Luo En felt searing pain all over his body—he had just expended every ounce of his strength.

Though he shattered several curses, they reformed and launched another assault on Luo En.

Luo En noticed a massive gash had appeared on his arm.

Blood continuously seeped from it, staining his clothes red.
