Chapter 172

Ji Chen carefully observed this barrier, his brows locked tight.

His figure flickered, the supernatural energy of his whole body instantly surging, gathering in his palms like a tide.

Taking a deep breath, he slashed at the barrier again, accompanied by powerful supernatural energy fluctuations, slapping a palm fiercely onto that ghostly blue barrier.

"Boom!"

With a loud bang, the energy was rebounded by the barrier upon contact, as if hitting an invisible wall, without any effect.

A hint of helplessness appeared on Ji Chen's face, and the surrounding ability users also sighed in disappointment.

"This barrier is truly sinister; it blocks every move." A young ability user was full of frustration, his voice filled with helplessness.

"Indeed, even boss's strong supernatural ability can't break it, what should we do?" another ability user echoed, filled with despair.

A sense of frustration surged in Ji Chen's heart, but he didn't give up.

He knew that as the new leader, he couldn't show any weakness before the crowd.

He took a deep breath, trying hard to calm the fluctuations in his heart, his mind rapidly thinking of various possible solutions.

"The runes flowing on this barrier seem to contain some kind of special energy," Ji Chen said in a low voice, staring dead at the mysterious runes on the barrier; they were like living things, continuously flowing and radiating uneasy light.

"Boss, do you have a way?" Ceng Yue's voice suddenly sounded; her tone remained cold, but a hint of concern flashed in her eyes.

Ji Chen shook his head, a hint of determination in his brows: "Not yet, but this can't be unsolvable. We can always find a way."

Just then, a faint sound entered Ji Chen's ears; it was the slight trembling of the runes on the barrier.

He closed his eyes, feeling the fluctuations of the runes, and a thought suddenly flashed in his mind.

"Everyone retreat, I'll try one more time," Ji Chen said in a low voice, his tone filled with unquestionable determination.

The crowd retreated one after another, watching Ji Chen nervously.

He took a deep breath, the supernatural energy of his whole body surging again; differently, this time there was a subtle fluctuation in his energy, producing a subtle resonance with the runes on the barrier.

"Whoosh!"

Ji Chen's palm touched the barrier again; this time, it wasn't rebounded, but deeply embedded into that ghostly blue barrier.

A hint of joy appeared on his face, but immediately, the runes on the barrier began to tremble violently, and a powerful counter-shock force attacked him.

"Boss!" Ceng Yue's voice carried a hint of worry.

Ji Chen gritted his teeth, regardless of everything, injecting more supernatural energy into the barrier, attempting to break this seemingly insurmountable natural moat.

"This broken barrier, break for me!"

Ji Chen's voice echoed in the air, and everyone's hearts rose to their throats.

Just then, Ji Chen suddenly felt a strange warmth coming from Ceng Yue's direction; he turned to look at her, only to see her Ji Chen felt a warm current pouring into his body, and the originally violent energy instantly became soft.

He turned to look at Ceng Yue, only to see her gaze firm, her hands held out, and a pale blue energy continuously injecting into his body.

"Supernatural ability resonance! How did I not think of that!" Ji Chen's heart shook, instantly understanding Ceng Yue's intention.

The rune fluctuations of this barrier were special; it couldn't be broken by brute force alone; only by finding the frequency of resonance could its defense be disintegrated.

Ceng Yue's supernatural ability attribute was extremely compatible with Ji Chen's, and the energy flow between the two was as smooth as flowing clouds and water.

With Ceng Yue's help, Ji Chen felt his power multiply; the energy that was originally like a mud cow entering the sea was now like a sharp blade, continuously cutting through the barrier's defense.

"Crack!"

With a crisp sound, a tiny crack appeared on the barrier, spreading like a spider web.

"It worked!" The surrounding ability users saw this and instantly became excited, cheers rising one after another.

"Go! Boss! Sister Yue!"

"Charge! Break this broken barrier!"

The cheers of the crowd were like stimulants, making Ji Chen and Ceng Yue even more high-spirited.

Ji Chen took a deep breath, injecting his supernatural energy into the barrier without reservation, and Ceng Yue also increased her energy output; the two joined forces, like two giant torrents, impacting the crumbling barrier.

The shaking of the barrier grew increasingly violent, as if it would collapse at any second.

The surrounding ability users cheered excitedly, as if they had already seen the dawn of victory.

"Almost there! Almost there!"

"Brothers, put in some effort, we can get out immediately!"

"This broken barrier, today let it disappear completely!"

The shaking of the barrier grew increasingly violent, as if it would shatter in the next second.

Ji Chen and Ceng Yue looked at each other, both seeing determination and joy in each other's eyes.

"Final strike!" Ji Chen roared, the supernatural energy of his whole body erupting like a volcano, slamming fiercely into the barrier...

"Wait..." This sound was too small, almost drowned in the cheers of the crowd, but Ji Chen and Ceng Yue still keenly captured it.

The two turned their heads almost simultaneously, looking in the direction the sound came from, but only saw a thin figure submerged in the crowd.

Before they could react, a powerful counter-shock force erupted from the barrier, like a broken dam, instantly swallowing everyone.

"Bang!" Ji Chen and Ceng Yue bore the brunt, being shaken away by this powerful force, crashing heavily to the ground.

The two only felt the blood in their bodies surging, a sweetness in their throats, and a mouthful of blood sprayed out.

"Boss! Sister Yue!" The surrounding ability users saw this and were instantly panicked, surrounding them one after another.

"I'm fine..." Ji Chen struggled to stand up, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, his face pale, but his gaze remained firm.

Ceng Yue also slowly stood up, her face equally ugly, but she just stood silently by Ji Chen's side, not speaking.

"The counter-shock power of this barrier is too strong, we have to think of another way..." an ability user said worriedly.

"No, right now!" Ji Chen interrupted his words, a hint of determination flashing in his eyes. "While the barrier's power hasn't fully recovered, we must rush in!"

"But boss, you..."

"Stop the nonsense, execute the order!" Ji Chen shouted sternly.

The crowd didn't dare to say anything more, nodding one after another, preparing to launch another impact.

Ji Chen took a deep breath, enduring the surging blood in his body, mobilizing all the remaining supernatural energy, preparing to launch the final strike.

"Break!" Ji Chen roared, the supernatural energy of his whole body erupting like a volcano, transforming into a dazzling light, slamming fiercely into the barrier that had already appeared cracks.

With a loud bang, the barrier finally couldn't bear this powerful impact, collapsing with a roar, turning into countless fragments and dissipating in the air.

"Charge!"

Seeing this, the crowd's morale soared, following Ji Chen one after another, rushing into the world behind the barrier.

However, when they saw everything before their eyes, all the cheers came to an abrupt end.

"This..."
