Chapter 102: Perilous Pass

"Damn! This thing is quite clingy!" Ji Chen let out a strange cry, his entire body's Supernatural Ability surging, attempting to shake off these clingy energy threads.

However, these threads seemed to possess life; the more he struggled, the tighter they wrapped, like a python coiling around its prey, intending to strangle him to death.

"Hiss... interesting." Ji Chen gritted his teeth, feeling the drain of his Supernatural Ability. These threads were actually absorbing his energy!

"Want to absorb my energy? Don't you know who your grandpa is!" He snorted coldly, and the core within his body that could rapidly absorb energy operated crazily, beginning to counter-swallow the energy of these threads.

"Huh?" Ji Chen was slightly stunned. This energy...

So pure!

So powerful!

Simply a great tonic!

He felt his Supernatural Ability was like a field meeting rain after a long drought, crazily absorbing these energies, his strength increasing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

At the same time, Ceng Yue was also tightly wrapped by energy threads. Her already cold face became even paler, her brows furrowed. She tried to mobilize her Supernatural Ability, only to find that its operation was extremely sluggish, as if suppressed by something.

"Yue'er!" Seeing this, Ji Chen felt his heart tighten and hurriedly diverted a portion of energy to Ceng Yue.

Ceng Yue felt this pure energy and a trace of surprise flashed in her eyes. She looked at Ji Chen, only to see him grinning at her: "Don't be afraid, I'm here!"

As Ji Chen continuously absorbed and converted the energy, the threads on his body began to snap one by one, and a powerful aura erupted, causing the surrounding threads to tremble in fear.

"Is that all you've got? Still want to trap your grandpa?" Ji Chen laughed loudly, like a god descending to earth, majestic and imposing.

He tore off the threads wrapped around Ceng Yue and pulled her behind him.

Ceng Yue felt the warmth and power coming from Ji Chen, and a warmth surged in her heart. A trace of an imperceptible smile appeared on her cold face.

Suddenly, the surrounding energy threads began to fluctuate violently, emitting a humming sound, as if stimulated to the extreme.

"What's going on?" Ji Chen looked around vigilantly, a sense of foreboding rising in his heart.

Just then, all the energy threads suddenly converged, forming a massive ball of light, emitting dazzling light.

"Bad!" Ji Chen's expression changed, and he pulled Ceng Yue, intending to escape.

However, it was already too late...

A powerful suction pulled them into the ball of light, and before their eyes was a vast expanse of white, seeing nothing clearly.

"Chen..." Ceng Yue's voice sounded in his ear, yet it seemed exceptionally distant.

Ji Chen felt his body being constantly pulled, as if it were about to be torn into fragments.

"Hold on! Yue'er!" Ji Chen gripped Ceng Yue's hand tightly, saying through gritted teeth.

Suddenly, the pulling sensation disappeared, and the white light before their eyes gradually dissipated.

They found themselves in a brand new space, a... more eerie space.

"Where... is this?" Ji Chen murmured to himself, looking at the strange scene around him, his heart filled with doubt.

Ceng Yue didn't speak. Her gaze fell on a wisp of residual energy thread wrapped around her wrist, and she pulled it gently...

"This damn thing is still at it!" Ceng Yue tried to break free from the energy thread on her wrist, only to find that the thread seemed to have eyes; the more she struggled, the tighter it wrapped, simply stickier than 502 glue.

"Don't move, stay calm!" Seeing this, Ji Chen hurriedly stopped Ceng Yue's futile efforts. "The more you struggle, the tighter it gets; this thing must be a trickster." He looked around; this eerie space, besides these annoying threads, had nothing, making one feel uncomfortable all over, as if covered in ants.

The two stood back-to-back, watching their surroundings vigilantly.

The air was filled with an oppressive aura, like the calm before a storm, causing a layer of anxiety to shroud their hearts.

"Are we going to be trapped here forever?" Ceng Yue's voice was somewhat cold, yet revealed a trace of imperceptible agitation.

"Of course not!" Ji Chen scratched his head, suddenly having a flash of inspiration. "These threads aren't they absorbing our energy? Since that's the case, I'll absorb it back, perform a 'reverse operation', and see who can absorb more!"

He took a deep breath, and the mysterious power within his body began to operate. He tried to control the energy core within his body, beginning to absorb the energy from the threads in reverse.

At first, the threads resisted desperately, but as the energy core within Ji Chen's body accelerated, the energy on the threads was like being pumped by a water pump, crazily surging into his body.

"Holy shit, this feeling is too awesome!" Ji Chen felt waves of pure energy surging into his body, feeling comfortable all over, like drinking iced cola, feeling awesome to the point of flying.

He felt his strength increasing rapidly, and the energy threads on his body began to loosen one by one.

He curled his mouth triumphantly, "Looks like this thing isn't much after all. Is that it? Still dare to act tough in front of your grandpa?" As his absorption speed increased, the threads wrapped around Ceng Yue's wrist also loosened, beginning to dim.

Ji Chen's eyes tightened, and just as he wanted to say something, Ceng Yue suddenly felt the thread on her wrist seem to come alive, and a powerful force was counter-attacking...

"Hiss..." Ceng Yue gasped, her brows furrowed tightly.

"Holy shit, this energy is really potent!" Ji Chen felt the surging power within his body, like a turbocharger, feeling so awesome he almost took off on the spot.

He waved his hand, transporting a portion of the pure energy within his body to Ceng Yue.

Ceng Yue's originally pale face instantly became rosy, and the Supernatural Ability within her body operated crazily like it had been injected with chicken blood.

She looked at her hands in surprise, feeling her strength increase by a large margin, simply a joy from heaven.

Her cold mouth curled slightly, and although the amplitude was small, Ji Chen still captured that trace of a smile.

The two exchanged a glance, but before they could be happy for too long, the surrounding energy threads suddenly surged like a pot exploding. Following this, these threads began to twist and deform, and a massive monster slowly took shape before them.

This monster was entirely composed of energy threads, like a massive spider, its eight legs covered in sharp spikes, exuding heart-palpitating energy fluctuations.

"Damn, this thing is quite explosive!" Ji Chen licked his lips. He had long wanted to find a strong opponent to have a good fight, and this monster came at just the right time!

"Yue'er, prepare for battle!" Ji Chen roared, charging up first, his fists wrapped in scorching energy, smashing fiercely toward the monster's head.

Ceng Yue didn't lag behind, following closely, condensing sharp ice blades in her hands, stabbing toward the monster's joints.

"Bang bang bang!" The battle broke out instantly, the deafening sound of impact echoing throughout the space, energy waves spreading everywhere, shattering the surrounding ground.

The monster let out a miserable hiss, its eight legs waving like sharp swords, every attack carrying strong energy fluctuations, as if intending to tear the space apart.

Ji Chen and Ceng Yue didn't lag behind, constantly counter-attacking. They cooperated tacitly, one attacking, one assisting, neutralizing the monster's attacks one by one.

Ji Chen was like a fighting machine, waving his fists, punch after punch, forcing the monster to retreat step by step.

The energy on his body became increasingly powerful, like a constantly expanding sun, emitting scorching light.

And Ceng Yue was like an Ice Queen, the ice blades in her hands turning into arcs of cold light, freezing the monster's attacks one by one.

The battle was extremely intense, and the entire space trembled because of it.

Ceng Yue looked at Ji Chen's powerful figure in the battlefield. She discovered that at this moment, Ji Chen was truly like an omnipotent hero, making her feel incredibly at ease.

After an intense battle, the monster finally couldn't hold on, beginning to disintegrate.

The energy threads were like kites with broken strings, drifting everywhere, eventually turning into nothingness.

"Phew... finally over!" Ji Chen wiped the sweat from his forehead, panting heavily.

Just then, the space beneath their feet began to shake violently, and the surrounding scene began to twist.

"Bad, the space is collapsing!" Ji Chen's expression changed, and he hurriedly grabbed Ceng Yue's hand.

Before the two could react, they were wrapped by a powerful force, darkness before their eyes, and they lost consciousness...

When they opened their eyes again, they found themselves in a peaceful... ===== CHAPTER 103 =====
