Chapter 140: Threat of Dark Power

The eerie laughter echoed in the space, like the whisper of a ghost, making people's hair stand on end.

Ji Chen immediately stopped his attack, looking around vigilantly, trying to find the source of the sound.

The dark aura became increasingly heavy, as if an invisible giant hand was strangling his throat, making him feel difficult to breathe.

He felt like prey watched by a venomous snake, every inch of his skin exposed to danger.

"What the hell, playing god!" Ji Chen cursed in a low voice, the light of the golden energy blade in his hand becoming even more dazzling, as if ready to fight at any moment.

Ceng Yue also felt this suffocating sense of pressure. She gripped her weapon tightly, her gaze locked onto Ji Chen's back, ready to support at any moment.

Dark power was like a boiling pot of oil, rolling violently, gradually condensing into various strange-looking monsters.

Some of these monsters looked like giant spiders, with countless scarlet eyes; some looked like distorted vines, covered in sharp thorns; others looked like floating ghosts, emitting shrill wails.

They rushed toward Ji Chen and Ceng Yue from all directions, launching fierce attacks.

The spiders sprayed sticky spider silk, trying to trap Ji Chen; the vines waved sharp thorns, tearing through the air, emitting piercing whistling sounds; the ghosts emitted mental attacks, trying to disturb Ji Chen's thoughts.

Ji Chen's golden energy blades swung out like a storm, cutting the approaching monsters to pieces one by one.

However, these monsters seemed endless, being eliminated only to re-condense rapidly, making him exhausted.

His Supernatural Ability consumption was massive, beads of fine sweat seeping from his forehead, but he still gritted his teeth and persisted, because he knew he couldn't fall, as there were people behind him who needed his protection.

The space was stirred by dark power until it distorted and deformed, as if it would collapse at any moment.

Ji Chen felt his body becoming increasingly heavy, as if bound by an invisible force.

A strong sense of unease rose in his heart, a feeling he had never had before.

Suddenly, a massive black figure slowly emerged from the darkness, radiating a terrifying aura, as if it were the master of this darkness.

It emitted a low voice, like a judgment from hell: "Submit, or be destroyed!"

Ji Chen took a deep breath, looking firmly at the massive figure, a cold sneer appearing on his lips: "Want me to submit? Dream on!"

Ji Chen's gold blades danced wildly, tearing through the small-fry monsters like cutting tofu.

But these things were like leeks, cut one batch after another, endless.

He felt his energy was like a mobile phone battery, dropping down, cursing inwardly: "Is this thing an infinite resurrection cheat? Do you have to be so shameless!"

Suddenly, he felt a hint of anomaly.

Those dark monsters that were originally fearless of death actually appeared to pause for a moment when he released his new Supernatural Ability, like mice seeing a cat, shrinking back.

Their distorted bodies seemed to be trembling, as if they had an instinctive fear of this new energy.

"Eh? What's the situation?" Ji Chen's heart moved. He deliberately increased the output of his new Supernatural Ability, the golden energy light becoming even more dazzling, the surrounding darkness seeming to be driven away by this light.

Sure enough, those monsters were even more terrified, retreating one after another, not daring to approach.

"It seems this new energy is their nemesis!" Ji Chen rejoiced in his heart, as if grabbing a life-saving straw.

He was like opening a cheat, the golden shining energy blades cutting wherever they passed, the monsters collapsing and disappearing without a trace.

"Haha, little guy, scared now!" Ji Chen laughed triumphantly, feeling as refreshing as playing a game with no difficulty.

However, good times didn't last long.

Dark power also seemed to realize the severity of the problem. They stopped their brainless attacks and began to re-gather.

Darkness surged like boiling asphalt, emitting a nauseating gurgling sound.

"Oh no!" Ceng Yue's expression changed, she keenly sensed the dangerous aura.

Only to see those originally scattered dark powers gathering, forming a massive black vortex, like a black hole in the universe, radiating a suffocating, terrifying aura.

This vortex had powerful suction, everything around it being sucked into it, including energy bodies, and even space beginning to distort and deform.

"Damn! What the hell is this!" Ji Chen felt like he was grabbed by an invisible giant hand, being pulled toward the center of the vortex against his will.

He tried his best to steady his figure, clutching tightly to an energy body, barely managing not to be sucked in.

Ceng Yue's situation was also not optimistic. She was being pulled by the powerful suction, her face pale, her lips pressed tight.

She tried hard to control her Supernatural Ability, attempting to resist this powerful suction, but the effect was minimal.

The surrounding dangerous aura reached its peak, the air seeming to freeze, suffocating.

"Hold on!" Ji Chen shouted, reaching out his hand wanting to grab Ceng Yue, but the distance between the two was getting further and further, as if an invisible force was separating them.

"This can't go on..." Ceng Yue squeezed out a sentence with difficulty. "I... have a way..."

A hint of determination appeared on Ceng Yue's face. Her eyes were fixed on Ji Chen, her voice carrying a hint of firmness: "This can't go on..." She squeezed this sentence from her mouth, her hands waving violently, a powerful force erupting from her body.

Her Supernatural Ability was like a bolt of lightning, instantly cutting off the connection with space.

"What's the situation?" Ji Chen grabbed Ceng Yue, holding her tightly in his arms.

"You... you are truly amazing." Ji Chen's voice carried a hint of trembling, but more of it was gratitude.

Ceng Yue leaned in Ji Chen's arms, the sound of their heartbeats echoing in their ears, the chaotic atmosphere around them slightly easing.

At this moment, they felt a rare tranquility and warmth.

Ceng Yue whispered: "Don't relax, it's not over yet."

Just then, a massive dark hand suddenly stretched out from the dark vortex. That hand was like the god of death from hell, radiating a suffocating, terrifying aura, grabbing toward them.

Ji Chen's eyes instantly became firm. He shielded Ceng Yue tightly, his eyes without a hint of fear: "Come on, let's see how I deal with you!" ===== CHAPTER 141 =====
