Chapter 719

Luo En roared loudly as he slammed into that surge of energy.

With a booming crash, Luo En shot backward, neutralizing that surge of energy.

He felt his insides churn like a storm-tossed sea.

Yet he still stood there, unyielding.

Luo En spoke calmly.

"We won't take orders from you."

The young man laughed.

"Can you speak for everyone? Ask them if they want to complete my task."

Zuo Tian Yi Yun and Naizi both shook their heads and said.

"If you truly have the ability, show yourself and speak to us face to face."

"Not through this kind of trick."

The young voice said.

"Anyone who has seen me must die."

"So I think, not revealing myself is actually good for you."

Luo En carefully scanned the surrounding energy, seeking any trace of the other's presence.

But soon he felt disappointed.

For apart from that voice, he sensed no energy fluctuations whatsoever.

The other's strength far surpassed theirs; no matter what they did, they could never find his trail.

Yet Luo En was not discouraged, nor would he yield so easily.

Luo En looked up at the void and said.

"Is that so? But I'd like to propose a condition to you."

The man seemed surprised—unexpectedly, Luo En still dared to bargain under these circumstances. He said.

"What leverage do you have to bargain with me?"

Luo En spoke calmly.

"If none of us follow your demands, your game ends.

You surely don't want your game to end so soon—you need us to add some spice to it."

The man burst into laughter.

"I didn't expect you to be this confident."

Luo En said.

"If you didn't want us to live, we wouldn't be standing here talking to you.

So I think, since you haven't killed us yet, you must have some use for us."

The man chuckled.

"A toy should know its place.

You're too clever—it won't be fun anymore.

If I were you, I'd never bargain so casually."

Luo En shook his head and said.

"This condition benefits you greatly, and I'm certain you won't refuse."

The man asked, seemingly curious.

"Is that so? What exactly is your condition?"

Luo En said.

"I'll give you Phoenix Fire."

The man said, surprised.

"Why would you think I want that thing?"

Luo En said.

"From your tone just now, it's clear you also desire Phoenix Fire.

Phoenix rebirth: no destruction, no renewal.

A power nearly eternal—anyone would find it impossible to resist."

The man laughed.

"What makes you think you can obtain Phoenix Fire?"

Luo En said.

"Because the one who holds it is now in my hands—I'll find a way to make him hand over Phoenix Fire.

Of course, I also hope to strike a deal with you."

Luo En's nerves tightened.

He reached this conclusion because he sensed a faint trace of Phoenix Fire in the other's energy.

But that Phoenix Fire was extremely weak, insignificant.

So he was certain the other also craved the complete Phoenix Fire.

Yet until now, the other had never obtained the true Phoenix Fire.

Luo En was certain he was restrained by some fear, hence dared not act.

The man's voice turned cold.

"You clearly know, if I wished to kill you, it would take no effort at all."

Then the man spoke.

"What do you want to trade with me?"

Luo En was about to speak.

Suddenly the sky darkened, as if some energy were quietly brewing.

Then the entire earth began to shake violently.

Countless energies surged toward a single direction.

Everyone immediately changed expression.

Luo En said.

"Who is it?"

At that moment, a violent explosion echoed from the sky.

It sounded as if two people were fighting, but Luo En and the others could not see their figures at all.

They could only feel boundless qi spreading all around.

Taiyaro gripped his twin blades tightly, his eyes wary as he stared at the empty air, muttering in confusion.

"What's going on? Why can't we see their shadows?"

Luo En frowned deeply.

"Their speed is too fast."

Then Luo En shouted loudly.

"We must leave here quickly—the residual power of their battle might reach us."

Having spoken, he walked forward first, with Taiyaro and the others following behind Luo En.

They reached a relatively safe place.

The fighting sounds ahead grew fiercer.

Amid violent explosions, energy continuously spilled out, falling to the ground and leaving deep scars.

Taiyaro looked at Luo En in surprise and said.

"What conditions do you plan to negotiate with him?"

Luo En shook his head.

"I haven't decided yet, but at that moment I only wanted to stall him."

"Still, I think we have many conditions we can offer him."

With a thunderous boom, the ground ahead split open directly.

In an instant, a vast canyon formed across the entire earth.

Such terrifying power made Luo En's expression subtly change.
