Chapter 177: Breaking the Deadlock

"Damn it! What is this situation? Are you messing with me?" Ji Chen let out a strange cry, using all his might to dig his feet into the ground like a nail, trying to stabilize his figure.

However, this suction force was simply too strong; no matter how he struggled, it was like a mantis trying to stop a chariot, remaining motionless—or rather, moving even more violently.

He was like a stretched noodle, being dragged by the suction force deeper and deeper into the thick fog.

The surrounding scenery retreated rapidly, and the wind howled in his ears, as if countless vengeful ghosts were roaring.

This feeling was a hundred times more thrilling than riding a roller coaster, only in this thrill, there was more fear.

"Help! Is anyone there! I don't want to play extreme sports!" Ji Chen shouted at the top of his lungs, but the only response was the endless darkness and the increasingly strong suction force.

He felt as if he had been grabbed by an invisible giant hand and dragged toward an unknown abyss.

The dark power surged like a tide, constantly impacting his body, as if it wanted to swallow him whole.

His heart pounded, as if it were about to jump out of his chest.

Fear wrapped around his heart like vines, making him almost unable to breathe.

Just when he was about to despair, the mysterious power seemed to sense his resistance, and the suction force suddenly increased.

Ji Chen felt as if his body was about to be torn apart, and his bones emitted creaking sounds, like a dangerous building about to collapse.

He gritted his teeth and fought desperately, but everything was in vain.

He felt like a fly trapped in a spider web; the more he struggled, the deeper he sank.

The dark power became even more turbulent, like a roaring beast, wanting to swallow him completely.

Ji Chen's consciousness began to blur; he felt he couldn't hold on much longer...

Suddenly, he felt a power surge within him; this power... was so familiar...

"Wait..." he murmured.

"Damn it, this thing can still level up? You're playing dirty, aren't you!" Ji Chen felt that the familiar power within him was exactly the mysterious energy he had absorbed earlier!

Although he didn't know exactly what this thing was, since he could absorb it, he could definitely use it!

Rather than sitting and waiting for death, it was better to fight to the death!

No sooner said than done!

Ji Chen mobilized the mysterious power within him, attempting to convert it into his own Supernatural Ability.

At first, this power was like a wild horse that had broken its reins, charging around and completely uncontrollable.

But who was he?

The dignified Urban Ability New Leader, how could he be scared off by this little difficulty?

He gritted his teeth, enduring the pain as if his meridians were being torn, constantly guiding this power to make it operate according to his will.

Gradually, the violent power began to become docile, merging into his Supernatural Ability like a trickling stream.

Ji Chen felt his power rapidly strengthening, as if a volcano within him was about to erupt!

"It worked!" He was ecstatic in his heart and suddenly opened his eyes. A powerful Supernatural Ability fluctuation spread out with him as the center, and the surrounding dark power actually showed a trace of fluctuation, as if it were afraid of the power on his body.

He stabilized his figure! He was no longer being pulled like a noodle as before!

Ji Chen's mouth lifted slightly, revealing a confident smile.

"Is that it? I thought you were some powerful thing! You're nothing much!"

However, he was happy too soon.

This action of his seemed to have thoroughly angered the source of the mysterious power.

The surrounding dark power instantly became violent, sweeping toward him like a raging sea!

"Holy crap! You're playing for real?!" Ji Chen's expression changed, and he hurriedly mobilized all his Supernatural Ability to defend.

"Boom!"

With a loud noise, the dark power slammed heavily into his body. He felt his internal organs shift, and a mouthful of fresh blood sprayed out.

The intense pain made him unable to help but frown in agony, and his vision blurred.

The surrounding dark power became even more violent, like a crazed beast, emitting bursts of low roars, as if it wanted to tear him into pieces...

"Ji Chen!" An anxious voice pierced through the darkness...

Ceng Yue's figure was like a bolt of lightning, piercing through the thick darkness and heading straight for Ji Chen.

On her eternal iceberg face, a trace of anxiety actually appeared at this moment, and her beautiful eyes were filled with worry, locked tightly onto Ji Chen.

Seeing her appear, Ji Chen's originally tense nerves miraculously relaxed a bit, and a warm current surged into his heart.

This woman, usually looking cold, was actually quite reliable at critical moments!

"Are you crazy? It's so dangerous here!" Ji Chen roared at her while resisting the invasion of the dark power.

Ceng Yue didn't speak, but silently came to his side, stretched out her slender hand, and grasped his blood-covered hand.

A cool energy came from her hand, flowing into Ji Chen's body, easing his pain.

"Stop talking nonsense, hurry up and fuse your Supernatural Ability!" Ceng Yue's voice was still cold, but carried a trace of unquestionable firmness.

"Okay!" Ji Chen didn't act coy anymore; he knew now was not the time to show off.

They simultaneously mobilized the Supernatural Ability within their bodies, and two powerful energies began to blend, emitting a dazzling light, like fireworks blooming in the night sky.

This light illuminated the surrounding darkness, dispelling part of the mysterious power that was oppressing them.

The fused Supernatural Ability was several times stronger than their individual powers, forming a powerful energy vortex that constantly tore and swallowed the surrounding dark power.

"Hahaha! This feeling... it's great!" Ji Chen couldn't help but laugh out loud, feeling filled with power, as if he could control everything!

However, their counterattack seemed to have angered the source of the mysterious power.

The dark power began to surge crazily, like boiling magma, emitting bursts of heart-palpitating roars.

Suddenly, the dark power condensed into a giant energy ball, emitting a suffocating pressure, like the eye of the Grim Reaper, coldly staring at them.

Ji Chen and Ceng Yue looked at this giant energy ball, their expressions suddenly turning grave...

"This thing... you've got to be kidding, right?" ===== CHAPTER 178 =====
