Chapter 710: Plan, Naivety

The man looked at Luo En with some confusion.

"I've overlooked something; I believe I am now the ultimate victor."

Luo En shook his head gently.

"No, you haven't won; clearly, you are still the loser. I can feel that though you've released tremendous energy, you yourself are utterly depleted."

"Perhaps you think mastering the Ten Thousand Souls Art and the Phoenix Rebirth will make you the strongest under heaven. Yes, you are indeed powerful—but I see the meekness hidden within your strength."

The man stared at Luo En in astonishment and said, surprised.

"I truly don't understand how you could perceive this—it's nonsense. How could a powerful person possibly be meek? You clearly cannot comprehend the depths of my thoughts, but it doesn't matter now. Whether you understand or not, I will slowly torture you to death."

Luo En swiftly adjusted the energy within his body; he could now feel himself gradually returning to full condition, yet he spoke without change in expression.

"True, you do possess terrifying power—but it's clear you care nothing for the toll it takes on you. If you seek power alone, it proves you once lacked it utterly, and back then, your heart must have been deeply meek—hence your willingness to seize energy by any means necessary."

The man gazed coldly at Luo En; Luo En had struck a nerve. Indeed, he had once been a man of extremely low energy, ignored everywhere, and at that time, he swore that no matter the cost, he would obtain greater power.

Only when his strength grew could others look upon him with respect; only then could he truly stand tall above all others. From that moment on, he relentlessly plundered energy—any energy, no matter its source, he accepted without refusal.

His gaze gradually grew colder.

"I was considering sparing your life, but you've gone and sought death yourself."

Before his words had fully faded, he suddenly became a lingering shadow and appeared before Luo En in an instant.

At that moment, Luo En was being suppressed by those energies, yet the energy he now unleashed could easily cancel them out—but he did not do so. Instead, he lifted his head and looked at the man.

The man assumed Luo En was completely crushed by his energy, utterly unable to resist. He approached without caution, smiling as he spoke.

"Look at you now—do you really think you're my match?"

Luo En met his eyes and smiled.

"It seems you're very confident now—do you truly believe you've already defeated me?"

The man chuckled.

"Look at yourself—are you not already defeated by me?"

But before his words ended, Luo En suddenly moved, seizing his throat. The man was stunned—just moments ago, his energy had firmly crushed Luo En; no ordinary person could break free. Yet Luo En had silently nullified his energy without notice and struck out while he was utterly unguarded.

As his throat was gripped, Luo En swiftly pressed his fingers against the man's vital point, instantly robbing him of all ability to resist.
