Chapter 638

The estate looked extremely beautiful, filled with the songs of birds and the fragrance of flowers.

It was hard to imagine this place could be connected to a curse.

Luo En whispered.

"There's a very strong aura of curse here—someone must be living here."

Yoko Ryuichi nodded.

Suddenly, a sharp crack echoed as Nai Zi drew her twin blades.

Luo En grabbed her hand and shook his head.

"Not yet."

Then they slipped into the estate.

The estate looked extremely eerie.

Though beautiful, it subtly radiated an unsettling aura.

Since the estate was vast, they walked for a long time without finding any meaningful clue.

"Could one curse really live in such a huge estate?"

Yoko Ryuichi said in surprise.

Luo En saw this scene and remarked.

"I didn't expect the world of curses also has clear class divisions—this curse clearly holds a very high status.

That's why he can live in an estate like this, while lower-ranking curses probably only wander the streets."

Yoko Ryuichi nodded, fully agreeing with Luo En's view.

After a while, they arrived before the estate's main chamber.

Yoko Ryuichi said.

"He must be living inside— if we want to break in, it'll take some effort."

Luo En nodded, gripping his cleaver tightly.

"No matter what it is, I'll make it see our strength."

With that, he kicked the door hard, smashing it open.

A desolate aura seeped out from within.

The room was empty, yet filled with a foul odor.

Yoko Ryuichi and the others quickly covered their noses and mouths, frowning.

"What's this smell? Why is it so disgusting?"

Luo En shook his head and said.

"No matter what it is, first we kill that thing."

They rushed in—but the door slammed shut abruptly.

Luo En hurried to pull the door open, but found it as if welded shut.

He strained with all his strength but couldn't budge it.

"Bad—we've been tricked."

Luo En shouted loudly, pounding on the door, but it didn't move an inch.

Luo En's face darkened—he could feel massive amounts of energy gathering nearby.

The curses must have begun their move.

Nai Zi gripped her twin blades tightly against her chest, her expression tense.

Yoko Ryuichi said helplessly.

"I never thought these guys were so cunning—they probably anticipated we'd escaped.

So they set this trap to lure us here."

Luo En said.

"Though I hate to admit it, we've clearly been tricked—these guys probably ambushed us outside."

Outside, faint sounds arose; vast amounts of energy gathered all around, surging steadily toward them.

Yoko Ryuichi said.

"We break through—follow me."

But as he charged forward, a terrifying surge of energy flung him to the ground.

Luo En rushed after him, but in that instant, he felt energy wrapping around him.

"Who are you? Show yourselves!"

Luo En shouted loudly, releasing his own energy rapidly.

That wave of cursed power spread wildly through the air alongside Luo En's energy.

But before it could spread far, it was neutralized by a far greater force.

After struggling for a moment, Yoko Ryuichi felt his energy draining rapidly.

He knew if he kept struggling like this, he'd be completely drained soon.

A towering shadow stepped out of the darkness.

When Luo En saw the shadow, his expression changed slightly.

It was the very curse they had seen earlier.

The curse laughed.

"I never expected you'd escape and not run away—instead, you came here to die."

He slowly walked toward Luo En.

"I gave you a chance to escape on your own—we never intended to hunt you down."

"But why did you come here? Give me a reason."

Luo En said calmly.

"To eliminate you evil curses, of course, requires some effort."

"If you just ran away like this, what meaning would all our years of effort have?"

The Curse laughed heartily.

"Is that so? What a noble goal."

"You come here to die, completely ignoring the gap in power between us—how deeply moved we are."

With that, they laughed again, utterly disregarding Luo En and the others.

230. Bargain

Luo En said calmly.

"Is that funny? It's only because our strength is inferior to yours."

"You caught us—but if we kill you, let's see if you can still laugh."

The Curse chuckled.

"But your assumption is impossible—you are no match for me, and you will be killed soon."

"This is the last time you'll see each other."

"Look well at one another—this will be your final memory."

Luo En frowned slightly. He did not wish to die, but it now seemed no one could save them.

Yokota Long Yi cursed loudly.

But the opponent seemed to pay no attention.

To a dying man, no matter what he said could be ignored as wind.

Yokota Long Yi looked helplessly at Luo En.

"What should we do?"

Luo En shook his head helplessly. In this situation, he truly had no idea what to do.

The only thing they could do now was to fight desperately to preserve their lives.

But seeing the opponent about to strike, Luo En suddenly shouted loudly.

"If you spare us, I can give you a piece of intelligence."

The Curse seemed intrigued; he turned his head, surprised, toward Luo En.

"Give me intelligence? Tell me—what kind of intelligence can you offer?"

"Let me see if this intelligence is worth your life."
