Chapter 164

The black shadow completely crawled out of the crack; it was a creature shaped like a giant spider, its eight thick legs covered in hard armor, flickering with a metallic luster.

Its huge compound eyes radiated a ghostly green light, making one's hair stand on end.

"Holy crap, is this thing a boss that ran out of some game?" Ji Chen couldn't help but complain, but his hands didn't hesitate at all, the supernatural energy within him crazily surging.

Although Ceng Yue didn't speak, her eyes were also filled with gravity, and the long sword in her hand emitted a low humming sound, as if responding to its master's fighting spirit.

The surrounding ability users were also ready for battle, everyone gripping their weapons tightly, watching this huge mysterious creature leader with nervous expressions.

The air seemed to have been frozen by this tense atmosphere, not a hint of wind.

"Roar—" the mysterious creature leader emitted a roar that shook the sky, and a powerful energy fluctuation spread outward with it as the center.

The surrounding earth shook violently, and some weaker ability users were directly blasted away by this energy fluctuation, vomiting blood.

"Come on, you beast!" Ji Chen roared, rushing up first.

He clenched his fists, the supernatural energy within him transforming into beams of dazzling light, slamming fiercely toward the mysterious creature leader.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!" A series of explosions sounded, and a few shallow cracks appeared on the armor of the mysterious creature leader, but it didn't seem to have suffered much damage.

Instead, it was enraged, its eight giant legs kicking off the ground, shooting toward Ji Chen like a cannonball.

Ji Chen dodged the attack narrowly, but was still shaken by the huge impact force, flying backward and crashing heavily to the ground, a mouthful of blood gushing out.

"Cough, cough..." Ji Chen struggled to stand up, but felt intense pain all over his body, as if he had fallen apart.

Seeing this, Ceng Yue immediately rushed to Ji Chen's side, the long sword in her hand transforming into a silver light, slashing toward the mysterious creature leader.

"Clang!" With a loud bang, the long sword collided with the armor, sparks flying.

Ceng Yue was also shaken back several steps by the huge counter-shock force, her arm trembling slightly.

The attacks of the mysterious creature leader became increasingly ferocious, and Ji Chen and Ceng Yue dodged with difficulty, their bodies injured in many places, blood staining their clothes.

But there wasn't a hint of fear in their eyes, only becoming more determined.

"Chen, I feel..." Ceng Yue suddenly spoke, her voice somewhat hurried.

"I feel it too!" Ji Chen interrupted Ceng Yue; this feeling was like suddenly unlocking a hidden ultimate move while playing a game, absolutely amazing!

The next second, dazzling light erupted from Ji Chen and Ceng Yue's bodies simultaneously, two different attributes of supernatural energy crazily intertwining around them, forming a huge energy vortex.

This light simply blinded everyone's eyes!

"Boom—" With a loud bang, the energy vortex instantly erupted, Ji Chen's fire power and Ceng Yue's frost power perfectly merging, forming a brilliant ice-fire tornado, carrying the momentum to destroy everything, slamming fiercely into the mysterious creature leader.

"Awoo—" the mysterious creature leader let out a shrill scream, its hard armor shattering inch by inch under the ravages of the ice-fire tornado, black blood gushing out like a fountain.

"Yes! This operation is simply too powerful!" Ji Chen clenched his fists excitedly, feeling filled with unprecedented power within him.

Although Ceng Yue remained expressionless, a glimmer of pride flashed in the depths of her eyes.

This fusion technique is simply invincible!

But, the mysterious creature leader was, after all, a boss-level existence.

After a brief moment of pain, it instantly entered a berserk state.

The ghostly light in its huge compound eyes grew even more intense, and its eight giant legs, like eight sharp blades, crazily swept toward Ji Chen and Ceng Yue.

"Holy crap, it even has a second transformation?" Ji Chen complained, but his hands didn't slow down at all.

He and Ceng Yue cooperated perfectly, one with a fire explosion, one with a frost barrier, resolving the attacks of the mysterious creature leader one by one.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!" The surrounding energy fluctuations grew increasingly intense, as if a hurricane were passing through.

The cracks in the ground grew larger, gravel splashed, and even the air became distorted.

"This is too exciting! It feels like watching a Hollywood blockbuster!" The surrounding ability users watched, dumbfounded, exclaiming one after another; it was their first time seeing such a terrifying battle.

Ji Chen and Ceng Yue fought more bravely as the battle progressed, and their cooperation became increasingly smooth, as if they were of one mind.

Every one of Ji Chen's flames could accurately strike the weak points of the mysterious creature leader, while Ceng Yue's frost perfectly restricted its movements; the two attacked and defended, cooperating seamlessly.

"This guy seems to be reaching its limit!" Ji Chen's mouth curled slightly; he could feel that the power of the mysterious creature leader was rapidly weakening.

However, just then, Ceng Yue suddenly grabbed Ji Chen's arm; at that moment, time seemed to slow down, everything around them became a background board, only the figures reflected in each other's eyes were clear and profound.

The air was filled with a sweet aura, as if even the tension of the battle had dissipated, replaced by an indescribable tacit understanding and trust.

"Tsk, does this count as official fan service?" Ji Chen complained inwardly, but his mouth couldn't help but curl slightly; he could feel that because of the power of love, the supernatural energy within him was even more surging.

And Ceng Yue, her eyes, usually as cold as frost, were now softened, like ice and snow melting in early winter, radiating a faint warmth.

She gripped the long sword in her hand tightly, the sword body flickering with light even more intense than before, as if responding to the emotions in her heart.

"The feeling of fighting side by side is really good!" Ji Chen took a deep breath and cast his gaze toward the mysterious creature leader again; this time, his gaze was even more determined, filled with fighting spirit.

He could feel that his and Ceng Yue's power were merging into one; they weren't fighting alone, but two souls merging, the power of love adding its blessing!

"Come on, let's fight to the death!" Ji Chen roared, launching the attack first.

This time, his fire wasn't a simple explosion, but as if it had life, dancing flexibly in the air, rushing toward the mysterious creature leader like a fire dragon.

And Ceng Yue followed closely behind, the long sword in her hand like the blade of the Ice and Snow Goddess; every swing could bring up a sheet of frost, shining together with Ji Chen's flames.

For a time, the entire battlefield was enveloped by these two completely different powers, the heat of the flames and the coldness of the frost intertwining, forming a gorgeous landscape.

"Bang!" With another loud bang, Ji Chen's flames and Ceng Yue's frost simultaneously struck the body of the mysterious creature leader, the two powers exploding within its body, directly blowing it into pieces.

"Holy crap! These special effects, this damage! It's simply off the charts!" The ability users watching the battle exclaimed, having never seen such a powerful attack.

The body of the mysterious creature leader completely dissipated into the air, turning into points of starlight, as if celebrating the end of this battle.

"We won!" Ji Chen waved his fists excitedly, smiling at Ceng Yue.

They stood side by side, accepting the cheers and worship of everyone around them.

At this moment, they were the true heroes of the urban supernatural world, the invincible existence in everyone's hearts!

Their victory seemed to have dispelled the haze over the city, warm sunlight shining back onto the earth, everything filled with hope.

Just as Ji Chen and Ceng Yue were immersed in the joy of victory, Ji Chen suddenly felt a faint dark aura coming from a corner of the urban supernatural world; the aura was cold and weird, as if coming from the abyss of hell.

"Ceng Yue, did you feel anything?" Ji Chen furrowed his brows, looking at Ceng Yue.

Ceng Yue nodded.

"Let's go, let's take a look!" Ji Chen said, flying toward the direction where the dark aura came from, Ceng Yue following closely behind.
