Chapter 711

"You're too arrogant; that's your weakness."

Luo En spoke calmly, swiftly striking to strangle his opponent—but he never expected the man to suddenly exert force, only to find he had grasped a straw dummy.

The man's voice sounded behind Luo En.

"The truly arrogant one is you. Did you really think I'd walk up to you without caution?"

Luo En turned his head and saw the man standing right behind him, smiling warmly at him. Luo En's heart sank to the bottom of his chest—he instantly knew his situation had become extremely dire.

Indeed, the man struck suddenly, a terrifying energy surging toward Luo En. Now the opponent had no intention of holding back; Luo En immediately felt his breath choke off. He frantically retreated, trying to counteract the force—but this energy was clearly immense, radiating an extreme temperature.

Luo En felt immersed in this heat, as if being burned, a soul-deep scorching that caused him immense pain. Bai Luo stood nearby, watching Luo En, and said with a sigh.

"Escape quickly. Don't worry about me. Once you're gone, you'll have a chance to counterattack—you must stop him. Don't let him kill any more people."

Luo En shook his head.

"One more person means one more strength. We won't easily abandon our comrades. Though we've only known each other a short time, I've come to understand this: only when our strength is strong enough can we fully stop him. I must save you, no matter the cost."

Saying this, Luo En clenched his fists and struggled to his feet. Though the opponent's flames burned his soul, he gritted his teeth and held on. He could feel his inner energy surging again.

These energies were strange—whenever he faced danger, they suddenly became peculiar. Luo En didn't know where this change came from, but he felt them surging wildly, slowly accumulating before him.

These energies resisted the flames. Though the flames quickly burned them away, Luo En could continuously generate more, and he advanced rapidly toward that direction.

The man gazed coldly at Luo En and said.

"Stop this futile struggle. No matter how you fight, you'll ultimately lose."

Luo En said.

"Is that so? Yet I can feel my power growing immense, my spirit becoming incredibly strong. No matter what, I will stop you—whether I win or lose."

As he spoke, Luo En drew impossibly close to the man. The man was stunned—Luo En had resisted his endless Phoenix Flame and even reached his side. Yet he also saw Luo En's condition was dire: his inner energy was nearly depleted.

"Do you really think this reckless act can kill me?"

The man smiled faintly.

"The truth proves you're naive. Now I'll let you taste the flavor of death."

Before the words had fully faded, a mass of energy suddenly appeared in his hand—containing not only Phoenix Flame but also the Ten Thousand Souls Art. These two supreme attacks fused together, and he slowly extended the energy toward Luo En.
