Chapter 767

A strong aura of killing intent was spreading in all directions.

If you go out, you will surely be struck by the other side.

Luo En said.

"I am not afraid of any strike."

But if you intend to confine me here,

that won't do.

Chapter 82, Scorching Bone Land

The Kage said.

"The Master only wishes to protect you.

You have great talent.

But a talent that withers early holds no meaning."

Luo En shook his head and said.

"I've been living fine outside all along; no need for your Master to worry."

Saying this, he turned to leave.

But the shadow suddenly erupted.

Boom—a muffled crash.

His body shattered into countless shadows.

In an instant, they blocked Luo En's path.

Luo En said.

"Do you intend to fight me?"

The Kage said.

"The Master has already said:

If you insist on forcing your way out, I have no choice but to act against you."

Luo En could not yet gauge the shadow's strength.

But from that instant when the shadow moved, Luo En felt a terrifying aura release from him.

Clearly, the shadow's strength was also formidable.

After a moment's thought, Luo En said.

"If that's the case, then I'll stay here."

Saying this, he walked to the stone stele.

Seeing that Luo En no longer wished to leave,

the Kage finally relaxed.

He transformed back into his shadow form.

Then he drifted before Luo En and said.

"I believe you are a wise man.

You should understand the Master's good intentions.

If you remain here peacefully,

I can protect your safety.

But if you leave, no one can save you."

Luo En did not reply.

But now he was already thinking of a way to escape.

After the Kage departed,

Luo En planned to retrace his steps.

But when he reached the doorway,

he suddenly discovered the gate had closed without his noticing.

A strange energy had been set upon it.

It was a small array.

Luo En could not open it at all.

"Damn it, I fell for his trick."

Luo En sneered loudly.

"Open the gate, or don't blame me for being harsh with you."

But there was no response at all.

Luo En knew he was trapped here.

To escape, he must find another way.

His gaze fell again on the stone stele.

Luo En walked to the stone stele and opened it.

He looked once more at the crystal below.

Besides the crystal,

a space was hidden beneath it.

Luo En tensed his nerves and descended the steps.

Beneath lay a world unto itself.

It was an enormous space.

The stone walls on all sides were as smooth as mirrors.

It seemed they had been carefully polished.

And right in the very center, there was even an underground river flowing quietly.

Luo En believed that through this lake water he should be able to reach the outside.

So he jumped down.

But the moment he made contact with the lake water,

Luo En felt a bone-piercing cold.

Boom—

He felt his mind go blank.

It was as if countless steel needles were stabbing into his body.

In that instant, Luo En immediately felt flustered and at a loss.

He couldn't even spare the breath to breathe.

He wanted to struggle desperately to get out.

But at the same time, he also felt himself suddenly become incomparably heavy.

He was sinking rapidly toward the bottom of the lake.

There was something wrong with this lake water.

Luo En knew it was no ordinary lake water at all.

And the energy contained within it was actually brimming with an aura of cold.

Luo En strained to open his eyes.

He saw a great mass of bones drifting up and down all around him.

So this place was actually a death trap.

Luo En was greatly shocked.

He now exerted every ounce of strength to circulate his energy, shielding his entire body.

Relying on this energy, he was finally able to withstand the erosion of the lake water.

But Luo En knew such a state could not last much longer.

He had to escape as quickly as possible.

At that moment he saw a pitch-black cave opening ahead.

Luo En swam toward that direction.
