Chapter 706: The Power of the Monster

But Luo En seized the opportunity and charged forward, slamming into the monster and sending it flying—though he felt his qi stall abruptly, a sudden sensation of chest tightness arising; fighting this monster, he sensed its power was immense, far beyond what he could match head-on.

The man stared at Luo En in deep confusion—he hadn't expected the attack he unleashed to turn against him.

The girl said in utter terror.

"But I can't control him anymore—his power is too overwhelming; he resists my control."

As she spoke, she began gathering energy relentlessly; Luo En didn't know what she intended to do, but his only thought now was to stop the monster—its power was growing stronger by the moment, and it could easily kill more people, its strength lethal enough to end lives.

Then Luo En arrived before the man.

"Though I don't know why you attacked me, right now this monster is the greatest threat—if it keeps growing, it will kill everyone here."

The man stared at Luo En in confusion.

"This was clearly your attack—why has it become like this?"

Luo En shook his head; even he didn't understand how things had come to this, but he stated clearly.

"To save these people, we must stop him—I need your help."

The man stood up and looked at Luo En.

"I'll help you kill this monster, but our business isn't finished."

Before he finished speaking, he surged forward—his combat style was bizarre, transforming into countless afterimages, each strike landing precisely on the monster's body, leaving behind numerous marks.

The monster roared in fury, launching desperate attacks at the man—but it couldn't catch his shadow; the man's speed was too fast. Luo En tried to match force with force, aiming to collide with the monster.

Clearly, each collision sent Luo En's qi churning—but as time passed, he began to gradually adapt to the sensation; though it was intensely uncomfortable, soon Luo En found it strangely fascinating.

In the following impacts, Luo En kept enduring the force, and quickly he felt his own strength rising—how strange, why was he evolving even during this battle?

But now Luo En had no time to overthink—he had to unleash his full power; this time, he would stop the monster. During one collision, he felt sudden, searing pain all over his body.

The sensation was inexplicable—energy inside him surged uncontrollably outward, while the monster recoiled repeatedly. Luo En seized this chance, gritting his teeth against the pain, and charged again.

This time, Luo En directly slammed the monster into flight—then the man instantly rushed forward, striking the monster relentlessly. The monster, caught between two attackers, grew furious, sensing it was no match for either—its movements became even faster. At that moment, Taiyaro and Nanai also struck simultaneously.

Both slashed their twin blades hard against the monster's body; though the blades were sharp, the monster's defense was terrifying—no mark remained. Yet they didn't despair; their goal was merely to disrupt the monster's judgment.

Gradually, Nanai seemed to detect a pattern—the monster had no high intelligence; its attacks were fixed, always the same few moves.

She quickly relayed her insight to Taiyaro and Luo En, who nodded and said.

"If that's the case, we should change our tactics."

They swiftly adjusted their battle strategy.

The monster sensed their tactics had shifted—it grew disoriented, and soon it felt searing pain as Luo En's fist struck its body, sending it flying, while the man rushed forward again, striking relentlessly.

Though they still hadn't landed a fatal blow, their assault had driven the monster into uncontrollable rage.

The monster's roars grew louder; it pounded its chest repeatedly, and its form swelled once more. Luo En frowned tightly—this monster was still growing stronger.

"What's going on? Does it have self-evolution capabilities?"

The girl nodded helplessly.

"When I created it, I gave it countless possibilities—so naturally it could evolve. But I—I don't know why it broke free from my control."

Luo En said.

"Now is not the time for regret—you must regain control over it, or we won't survive."

The girl shook her head helplessly.

"But I can't—I can't control it at all. My energy can't even reach it."

Now the monster's power was growing ever greater; Luo En and the others fought desperately, feeling its energy surge and batter them continuously.

At that moment, Luo En suddenly sensed a faint energy ahead—familiar beyond all doubt: it belonged to the man. He hadn't expected the man to be secretly observing everything here—he must have known they'd arrived, and clearly had been waiting to reap the benefits of their struggle.

Luo En wouldn't let the man get away with it—he surged forward. Once he'd sensed that energy, he locked onto the man's position. The monster charged toward Luo En—but slammed violently into a barrier.

With this violent impact, the entire world trembled; then a figure tumbled out, rolling twice on the ground before barely regaining his footing.

The monster saw the man and erupted in fury—it had fought him before, so it recognized him instantly. It charged forward, swinging its fist to strike—but the man dodged swiftly.

Luo En spoke coldly.

"Didn't expect you'd be hiding here."

The man looked at Luo En.

"Drawing me out was the stupidest thing you could do—you know perfectly well I could kill you effortlessly."
