Chapter 163

Ji Chen and Ceng Yue stood side by side, facing the countless black shadows surging from the crack, like two immovable statues.

Ji Chen's gaze was as calm as ice, scanning the creatures radiating an ominous aura, yet a provocative smile hung at the corner of his mouth, as if saying: "Is this it? You dare to be arrogant in front of me?" A suffocating pressure permeated the surrounding air, like the calm before a storm, so quiet it made one's heart panic.

Those black shadows emitted shrill roars, like a group of hellish demons howling.

They were shaped like lizards but had bat wings, their bodies covered in hard black scales, their sharp teeth and claws flickering with a chilling cold light, making one's scalp tingle.

This group of alien creatures flapped their wings, circling in the air and pressing down like dark clouds.

"Well come!" Ji Chen shouted in a low voice, his legs slightly bent, like a leopard ready to pounce.

The supernatural ability within him began to surge, and an invisible wave of air erupted from him, blowing his clothes until they snapped.

He clenched his fists, his knuckles emitting "crack" sounds.

"Be careful, these guys aren't easy to mess with." Ceng Yue's voice remained cool, but carried a hint of subtle worry; the cold air around her grew more intense, thin frost began to form on the ground, and the water vapor in the air condensed into tiny ice crystals.

Those mysterious creatures emitted shrill hisses, surging toward the two like a tide.

They were extremely fast, pouncing to the front in the blink of an eye.

Some waved their sharp claws, tearing through the air and emitting "whoosh" sounds; others opened their bloody mouths, spitting out black venom and emitting "hissing" corrosive sounds.

The venom landed on the ground, instantly emitting white smoke, even corroding the stones until they were pitted.

Ji Chen narrowed his eyes, exerting force under his feet, rushing toward the enemy group like an arrow released from a bow.

He swung his fists, wrapped in powerful force, every strike carrying a sharp whistling sound, directly blasting the alien creatures at the front away, crashing them into the distant walls with loud "bang" sounds.

Ceng Yue stood in place, her hands moving rapidly, and ice prisms appeared out of thin air, shooting toward the creatures pouncing over like sharp swords.

The ice prisms carried a biting cold, directly piercing through their bodies, instantly freezing them into ice sculptures, then shattering them into ice dregs.

The battle instantly reached a white-hot stage, the explosive sounds of energy collisions, the roars of the alien creatures, and the loud sounds of collapsing buildings intertwined, forming a symphony that made one's heart tremble with fear.

Ji Chen's face grew increasingly grave; these alien creatures had endless attack methods, making it difficult for the two to handle.

His body swayed slightly, his chest feeling as if it had been struck by a heavy hammer, making him unable to help emitting a muffled groan.

He looked up at the surroundings; the originally towering buildings were now on the verge of collapse, as if they would crumble at any second.

Anger burned in his heart, and a strong sense of crisis surged in his mind.

Ceng Yue tilted her head slightly, looked at Ji Chen, then focused her attention back on the battle; her lips moved slightly, as if she wanted to say something, but she didn't speak in the end.

"Damn it, are these guys raised on stimulants?!" Ji Chen roared, staring tightly at the creatures before him. Suddenly, he felt a strange energy surging within him, as if something was about to break out of his body...

Ji Chen felt a warm current surge from within him, rapidly flowing through his entire body, as if every cell was cheering.

He was surprised to find that the free-roaming supernatural energy around him was like iron filings attracted by a magnet, crazily surging into his body and being rapidly absorbed and transformed.

Holy crap, this feeling...

It's absolutely amazing!

"Boom!" He threw a punch, his fist wrapped in dazzling white light, exploding like a small sun, directly blasting a large area of alien creatures into slag.

This power was more than ten times stronger than before!

He could even feel the air trembling and the ground shaking.

The surrounding ability users were all dumbfounded. This...

Is this still a human?

It's simply a human-shaped self-propelled cannon!

The remains of the alien creatures blasted away by Ji Chen's punch were scattered all over the ground, emitting wisps of black smoke, and a burnt smell permeated the air.

Ji Chen grinned, revealing a mouthful of white teeth: "Is this it? Little ones, come again!" He felt filled with power, as if he could blow up the earth with one punch.

The surviving alien creatures seemed to have sensed Ji Chen's change; they emitted shrill hisses, no longer fighting alone, but beginning a group siege.

They surged from all directions like a tide, surrounding Ji Chen and Ceng Yue.

"Holy crap, you want to play group fighting? Who's afraid of whom!" Ji Chen shouted excitedly, feeling his blood boiling.

He threw both fists, his punch shadows heavy, pouring out like a storm.

Every punch carried destructive power, blasting away the approaching alien creatures.

The surrounding ability users also joined the battle, the light of various supernatural abilities shining together, illuminating the night sky as if it were day.

Energy fluctuations surged like a tsunami, and the entire city was trembling.

Ceng Yue stood beside Ji Chen, remaining expressionless, but a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes.

The ice prisms in her hand flew continuously, like the scythe of the Grim Reaper, harvesting the lives of the alien creatures.

"These guys, there are too many of them..." an ability user said, panting heavily.

"Hold on! Reinforcements will arrive soon!" another ability user shouted.

Suddenly, the alien creatures' attacks became more ferocious, as if they had gone crazy, recklessly rushing toward Ji Chen and Ceng Yue.

"Be careful!" Ceng Yue pushed Ji Chen away...

Ceng Yue pushed Ji Chen away, and at the same time, a huge ice wall rose from the ground, blocking the black venom rushing toward them.

The venom corroded the ice wall, emitting a hissing sound and emitting pungent white smoke.

Ji Chen steadied his figure, looking at Ceng Yue's back, feeling a warmth in his heart.

This woman, usually cold as ice, is actually quite reliable at critical moments.

The two stood back-to-back, their eyes meeting; no words were needed, their hearts were already connected.

Ceng Yue's ice prisms poured down like a rainstorm, sealing the enemy's attack route, while Ji Chen seized the opportunity, transforming into a human-shaped turret, his "boom, boom, boom" punch shadows like a bombardment, blasting large areas of alien creatures into slag.

The two cooperated perfectly, like dancers on the battlefield, elegant and deadly.

The surrounding air was filled with the sour smell of love, making single dogs want to die on the spot.

"Brothers, charge with me! Let's finish off these bugs!" Ji Chen roared, as if he had been injected with chicken blood, his whole body radiating the aura of a king.

The surrounding ability users were also encouraged, rushing up while howling.

For a time, the shouting shook the sky, energy fluctuations surged like a tide, and the scene was once very chaotic.

Led by Ji Chen and Ceng Yue, the ability users launched a fierce counterattack, forcing the mysterious creatures back by a large margin.

The scales of victory seemed to be tipping in their favor, and the light of hope flickered in everyone's eyes.

"Haha, little ones, is this it? Vulnerable!" Ji Chen laughed arrogantly, as if he had already seen the dawn of victory.

However, just when everyone thought victory was in sight, a deafening roar suddenly came from the crack, followed by a huge black shadow slowly rising from within.

The black shadow blocked the sky and sun, as majestic as a mountain, radiating a terrifying aura that made one's heart suffocate.

"Holy crap..." Ji Chen and Ceng Yue looked at the behemoth before them, unable to help gasping for air.

"What... what the hell is this?!" an ability user pointed at the huge black shadow, their voice trembling.
