Chapter 125: Survival in a Desperate Situation, Miracle of a Helping Hand

Within the energy vortex, Ji Chen and Ceng Yue were like two pieces of rags thrown into a washing machine, being pulled crazily against their will.

The strength of that suction was so strong, it seemed to want to tear their bodies into fragments, their bones emitting a teeth-grinding creaking sound.

Ji Chen felt his internal organs churning, every pull feeling like someone was grinding his bones with a file.

"Holy crap, what the hell is this!" Ji Chen couldn't help but swear, the intense pain in his body making him grin, but more of it was unwillingness.

After finally defeating those energy creatures, are they going to flip the car here?

The new power he had just awakened also went out of control, like a wild horse without a bridle, charging and crashing under the stirring of the vortex, making him dizzy and disoriented.

Ceng Yue's situation was no better.

Her face, which had been a cold ice face for ten thousand years, was now filled with pain, brows locked tight, silver teeth clenched, trying hard to stabilize her figure.

But the power of the vortex was simply too powerful; her proud intermediate supernatural power was as powerless as a child playing house at this moment.

She could feel the energy within her body depleting crazily, like opening a faucet but unable to plug the leak, her body also becoming weaker and weaker, as if she would be torn into fragments in the next second.

The surrounding energy was like a wild horse without a bridle, crazily impacting their bodies, like countless small knives scraping bones.

Every collision felt like the whisper of death, filling both their hearts with despair.

The stifling atmosphere shrouded down like a huge black curtain, leaving one unable to breathe.

"Ji Chen..." Ceng Yue called his name with difficulty, her voice so hoarse it was almost inaudible, carrying a trace of unprecedented helplessness and weakness.

Ji Chen's consciousness also began to blur; he felt as if he were falling into an endless abyss, his body becoming heavier and heavier.

He struggled to grab something, but his hands were empty.

He opened his eyes with difficulty; in his vision was a chaotic energy light, like countless eyes staring at him, carrying heart-palpitating coldness.

Just as he was about to lose consciousness completely, he saw Ceng Yue's eyes, filled with unwillingness and despair.

A strong obsession suddenly surged in his heart—cannot give up just like this!

Cannot let Ceng Yue disappear just like this!

"Ah—" Ji Chen let out a roar of unwillingness; however, this sound was completely swallowed by the huge roaring sound of the vortex, as if it had never existed.

Just when the two thought they were about to be completely swallowed by the vortex, Ji Chen suddenly felt his body wrapped by a strange power, and a familiar voice rang in his ear.

"It seems, picked up a treasure again this time..."

Just when Ji Chen and Ceng Yue felt they were about to be completely "washed" into slag by this energy vortex, a warm power suddenly surged from the center of the vortex, like a gentle giant hand, gently hugging the two of them.

This feeling was like suddenly covering an electric blanket in winter, comfortable enough to make one want to roll around.

This power wasn't the life-taking pull from before, but instead soft, wrapping them tightly, the life-taking tearing sensation from before instantly disappearing without a trace.

Ji Chen and Ceng Yue were both stunned; what is this situation?

Could it be that the vortex also started playing anti-routine?

Didn't you say you were going to stir us into meat sauce?

This sudden change in style makes people a bit unable to react.

Ji Chen narrowed his eyes, trying hard to see the source of this power, only to find this thing was actually a bit familiar.

Holy crap, isn't this the energy of that glowing body in the supernatural space before?

How did it run here?

Could it be that it sensed I was about to kick the bucket, and came specially to save me?

Could this be the legendary "heaven-sent golden finger"?

Before he could figure it out, this warm current began to charge and crash within his body, merging with the runaway energy from before.

Ji Chen felt like a balloon, blown up by this power instantly, filled with explosive power from head to toe.

He could feel that his power had increased again; this feeling was simply awesome!

It was like exploding a divine outfit while killing a monster in a game, taking off on the spot!

Beside him, Ceng Yue, although still that paralyzed face, also relaxed her tightly locked brows slightly; she could also feel the help of this power to her.

Although she didn't know what was going on, but being able to survive, who cares about so much?

This operation was simply surviving a desperate situation, turning from bad to good!

Ji Chen moved his muscles and bones, his body emitting a crackling sound, like frying beans.

He raised an eyebrow at Ceng Yue and said triumphantly: "It seems my character is still online; at the critical moment, there's always a big shot to cover me!"

Suddenly, he felt this power seemed to want to tell him something, a vague thought emerging in his mind: "The outside world, someone is coveting this power." Ji Chen's smile instantly froze on his face.

He slowly turned his head to look outside the vortex, his expression becoming serious; he seemed to have sensed that outside the vortex, something was stirring.

The world outside the vortex was not calm.

A group of phantoms of Ability Users flashing with ghostly blue light stared at the center of the vortex like hungry wolves, greedily peeping at that powerful energy.

They floated in the air like ghosts, their faces blurry, yet emanating a heart-palpitating pressure.

"This power... is mine!" A hoarse voice came from the phantoms, carrying the arrogance of being determined to win.

No sooner had the words fallen than countless energy arrows shot toward Ji Chen and Ceng Yue like a rainstorm, the sharp whistling sound deafening, the air permeated with a strong smell of gunpowder.

"Damn! For real?!" Ji Chen let out a strange cry and pulled Ceng Yue behind him to protect her.

The energy within his body erupted like a volcanic eruption, forming a golden barrier, blocking the arrow rain completely.

"Is that it? Tickling me?" He hooked a cold sneer of disdain at the corner of his mouth, and with a backhand, launched an energy cannon, the golden pillar of light roaring like a giant dragon, blasting several phantoms into fragments.

Ceng Yue stuck tightly behind Ji Chen, feeling the warmth and power coming from him, a trace of imperceptible softness appearing on her ten-thousand-year iceberg face.

She didn't speak, just silently released her supernatural power, turning into dots of starlight, merging into Ji Chen's energy, providing him with a steady stream of support.

"Good coordination, little Yueyue!" Ji Chen laughed, feeling Ceng Yue's support, his power became even more surging, and his attacks even sharper.

Every punch was accompanied by a deafening explosion, every kick bringing a violent energy storm.

Those phantoms were as vulnerable as paper before him, turning into dots of starlight and dissipating one after another.

Just when they were about to repel all the phantoms, a sudden change occurred!

The energy vortex suddenly stopped rotating, as if pressed by an invisible giant hand, the surrounding energy also calming down accordingly.

In the center of the vortex appeared a portal flashing with seven-colored light, like an entrance to another world, mysterious and eerie.

Ji Chen and Ceng Yue looked at each other, both seeing shock and doubt in the other's eyes.

Where does this door lead?

And what is hidden behind the door?

"Let's go, let's take a look." Ji Chen took a deep breath, his eyes firm.

He took Ceng Yue's hand and walked step by step toward that mysterious portal... ===== CHAPTER 126 =====
