Chapter 170

"Holy crap, did we poke a nest of dark creatures?" Ji Chen looked at the monsters surging like a tide and couldn't help but curse.

These guys were bizarre in shape, some like cockroaches magnified countless times, some like octopuses covered in tentacles, and others simply black lumps of wriggling flesh, making one feel nauseous just looking at them.

"Don't just stand there! Just finish them!" Ji Chen roared, rushing up first.

Flames ignited on his body, like a fire god descending; wherever he passed, the dark creatures turned into ashes.

Ceng Yue followed closely behind, cold air surrounding her body; every time she waved her hand, she could freeze the approaching enemies into ice sculptures.

Other ability users also attacked one after another, various dazzling supernatural abilities intertwining, like a gorgeous firework show.

However, the number of dark creatures was simply too large; they rushed up without fear of death, wave after wave, as if they would never be killed off.

"This won't do; this isn't a solution!" Ji Chen felt the supernatural energy within him consuming rapidly; if this continued, they would probably be finished.

He looked around and found that many ability users were beginning to show signs of fatigue, the situation not looking optimistic.

The air was filled with a pungent stench of rot, and a nauseating smell of blood, making one feel chest tightness and shortness of breath.

The surrounding screams and the roars of monsters intertwined, simply a death symphony.

Ji Chen felt his heart almost jumping out of his throat; he took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down.

"Everyone, stop attacking! Switch to defense!" Ji Chen suddenly shouted; his voice wasn't loud, but it clearly reached everyone's ears.

The ability users who were fighting fiercely heard the order, and although they were puzzled, they subconsciously stopped attacking and switched to a defensive posture.

They formed a circle back-to-back, jointly resisting attacks from all directions.

The dark creatures also seemed to have been confused by this sudden change; their offensive slowed down, emitting low roars, and a weird silence permeated the air.

"What is he doing?" Ceng Yue furrowed her brows, looking at Ji Chen in confusion.

"Quiet, watch what he says." Ji Chen's gaze was like a torch, staring dead at the dark creatures; he narrowed his eyes slightly, and a powerful aura instantly erupted.

Ji Chen's gaze was as sharp as a hawk, scanning the tide of dark creatures.

The attacks of these monsters seemed chaotic, but vaguely revealed a pattern.

When they attacked, they always exposed the soft parts of their abdomens, and the rhythm of their attacks wasn't completely consistent.

Found it!

Ji Chen's mouth curled into a cold smile; these guys were nothing more than this.

"Everyone watch closely! Their abdomens! Attack!" Ji Chen gave the order, rushing into the monster group again.

This time, his attacks weren't random, but accurately struck the abdomens of each monster.

"Bang, bang, bang!" After a series of muffled sounds, those originally aggressive monsters fell to the ground one after another like deflated balloons.

The surrounding ability users saw this and immediately understood, following Ji Chen's attack method one after another; for a time, the situation on the battlefield instantly reversed.

"Brother Chen is awesome!"

"Brother Chen is mighty!"

"666!"

Cheers rose one after another, the originally tense atmosphere swept away, replaced by excitement.

Ji Chen smiled slightly.

Sure enough, the dark creatures soon adjusted their strategy; they no longer attacked separately, but concentrated their power, rushing fiercely toward Ji Chen's direction.

The overwhelming dark aura instantly enveloped Ji Chen, the huge pressure making him almost unable to breathe.

"You want to gang up on me? I'll accompany you to the end!" Ji Chen felt like a volcano about to erupt, ready to erupt with power that could destroy the world at any moment.

"You're crazy! You'll be exhausted to death like this!" an anxious voice came.

Ji Chen didn't look back; he knew it was Ceng Yue.

"Heh," Ji Chen sneered. "If I were afraid of death, I wouldn't be standing here!" He suddenly raised his head, staring intently ahead, saying word by word: "Come on! Let me see how much you scumbags are worth!"

Ceng Yue looked at Ji Chen's back, a hint of complex emotion flashing in her eyes...

Ceng Yue flickered, arriving at Ji Chen's side, and the power of ice formed a barrier around her, blasting away the dark creatures pouncing over.

"If we die, we die together." Her tone remained cold, but a hint of subtle gentleness was revealed in her eyes.

Ji Chen felt a warmth in his heart; this woman is truly sharp-tongued but soft-hearted.

"Then let's blow them all up together!" Ji Chen laughed, the fire supernatural ability and ice supernatural ability intertwining, forming a powerful energy storm that swept through the surrounding dark creatures.

"Boom, boom, boom!" Explosions sounded one after another, the monsters blasted into pieces, black liquid splashing, and the air filled with the burnt smell of roasted meat, mixed with a nauseating fishy stench.

"Brother Chen is mighty! Sister Yue is domineering!" The ability users cheered excitedly, looking at Ji Chen and Ceng Yue with eyes filled with worship, as if seeing two gods descending to earth.

They were also encouraged, erupting with even more powerful strength, rushing into the monster group like tigers descending a mountain, unfolding a hearty slaughter.

Although the number of dark creatures was large, led by Ji Chen and Ceng Yue, the ability users were like cutting leeks, destroying them one by one.

On the battlefield, flames surged, ice raged, and various supernatural abilities shone together, forming a spectacular yet tragic scene.

"Finally over..." an ability user slumped to the ground, panting heavily, his face filled with fatigue, but more so with the joy of surviving a disaster.

"Not yet!" Ji Chen's gaze was like a torch, looking ahead.

Only in the heavy darkness, a huge figure slowly emerged, radiating a suffocating pressure, the surrounding air seeming to have solidified.

"What... what kind of monster is this?!" an ability user shouted in terror, their voice trembling.

"Not good! Retreat!" another ability user's face changed drastically, turning around and wanting to run.

"Run? Where to?" Ji Chen sneered, a hint of determination flashing in his eyes. "When narrow roads meet, the brave wins! Brothers, charge with me!"

Ceng Yue grabbed Ji Chen's hand, fingers interlaced, not speaking, but her eyes were filled with determination.

"Charge!" The ability users roared, following Ji Chen and Ceng Yue, rushing toward that huge figure without hesitation...

"Wait!" Ji Chen suddenly stopped, an ominous premonition surging in his heart.
