Chapter 181: Display

The black ray of light was like a maggot on a tarsal bone, instantly eroding Ji Chen's body.

He staggered a step, almost kneeling to the ground.

A cold, overbearing power rampaged within his body, as if wanting to tear him apart.

He could feel his blood boiling and his blood vessels expanding, as if they were about to burst in the next second.

"Brother Chen!"

"Ji Chen!"

The surrounding Ability Users were terrified, watching helplessly as Ji Chen was swallowed by the darkness, but they were powerless to help.

They had never seen such a strange energy; that black ray of light seemed to come from the abyss of hell, carrying the aura of destroying everything.

"Chen..." Ceng Yue's voice trembled; she wanted to rush over, but was held back tightly by the people beside her.

She watched helplessly as Ji Chen struggled in pain, her heart feeling as if it were being cut by a knife.

Those eyes, which were always calm and firm, were now filled with pain and confusion, making her heart ache.

Ji Chen gritted his teeth, fighting desperately against the erosion of the dark power.

He felt his consciousness gradually blurring, and everything around him became twisted.

He felt as if he were in a state of chaos, with countless whispers echoing in his ears, like the temptation of the devil, and like the crying of lost souls.

The dark power became more and more powerful, and Ji Chen's body began to tremble uncontrollably.

His skin gradually became gray, and his eyeballs were covered with a layer of black mist.

He roared in pain, like an injured beast, making a final struggle.

Ceng Yue couldn't hold back anymore, tears streaming down her face.

She suddenly shook off the people beside her, staggering toward Ji Chen, murmuring: "Chen... you must hold on..."

Just at this moment, Ji Chen's body suddenly trembled violently, and he suddenly raised his head, letting out a deafening roar.

His eyes turned blood-red, like two burning flames, emitting a chilling light.

"Ahhh—"

He roared in pain, and the air around his body began to twist and deform.

A powerful force erupted from within his body, shaking the surrounding Ability Users back a few steps.

"This... what is this power?" Someone shouted in horror.

Ceng Yue stared blankly at Ji Chen, her heart filled with fear and worry.

She felt that Ji Chen's aura was undergoing a earth-shaking change, as if he had become another person...

"Chen..." She tremblingly stretched out her hand, wanting to touch him, but was deterred by the powerful aura emanating from his body, not daring to get close.

Ji Chen suddenly opened his eyes, his blood-red pupils staring dead at Ceng Yue, his voice hoarse: "Don't... come over..."

Within Ji Chen's body, the originally dim Golden Finger suddenly erupted with dazzling light, like dawn breaking through the night sky, fiercely confronting the dark power that was eroding him.

Two powers clashed within his body, like two giant dragons biting each other, bursting with dazzling light and terrifying energy fluctuations.

Where the light shone, the dark power retreated like a tide, and Ji Chen's blood-red eyes gradually returned to clarity, replaced by a firm and sharp gaze.

He clenched his fists, feeling the surging power within his body, and a confident smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Just this little ability? You also deserve to be called darkness?"

The light of the Golden Finger became brighter and brighter, like a rising sun, illuminating the entire battlefield.

Ji Chen's Supernatural Ability was thoroughly stimulated, and an unprecedented powerful force surged within his body, as if wanting to break out.

"Brother Chen is mighty!"

"Boss is awesome!"

The surrounding Ability Users saw this, and their originally desperate mood was instantly ignited. They waved their weapons one after another, cheering for Ji Chen, as if they had seen the dawn of victory.

"Heh, not returning a favor is not polite!" Ji Chen sneered, and the light of the Golden Finger turned into sharp swords, launching a fierce attack toward the dark power.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

A series of explosions rang out, and the dark power retreated steadily, as if being heavily suppressed by an invisible giant hand.

Ji Chen's attacks came one after another, pouring out like a storm, each strike containing destructive power.

The surrounding air was stirred by his power, forming ripples visible to the naked eye, spreading in all directions.

The dark power trembled under Ji Chen's attack, like a beast forced into a desperate situation, emitting bursts of unwilling roars.

"With just this little ability, you dare to be arrogant in front of me?" Ji Chen

Suddenly, a sinister voice came from the dark power: "Kid, you are not bad, actually forcing me to use this move. However, do you think you can defeat me like this? Too naive!"

The dark power began to roll violently, as if something was about to break out of its cocoon...

"Chen..." Ceng Yue's voice came from afar, filled with worry and anxiety.

Ji Chen turned to look at Ceng Yue, then, he took a deep breath, concentrating all his power on the Golden Finger, preparing to meet the upcoming challenge...

"Just wait and see..."

"..." he whispered, his tone filled with confidence and firmness.

Ceng Yue's gaze was locked tightly on Ji Chen, her eyes shining with trust and worship.

She knew that her man would never let her down.

This was not just love, but an absolute recognition of Ji Chen's strength.

On the battlefield filled with smoke and surging Supernatural Abilities, this tenderness became the firmest pillar in Ji Chen's heart.

Feeling Ceng Yue's gaze, a warm current surged in Ji Chen's heart.

He knew he was not fighting alone.

To protect this precious relationship, to protect the lover behind him, he must win!

"Come on, let me see what other tricks you have!" Ji Chen hooked a cold smile on his lips, concentrating all his Supernatural Ability on the Golden Finger, the dazzling light like a small sun, illuminating the entire battlefield.

"Boom!"

A heaven-shaking loud noise, the power of the Golden Finger erupted like a volcanic eruption, slamming heavily into the dark power.

The dark power emitted a shrill scream, scattering like torn cloth, and finally disappeared without a trace.

The sunlight shone down on the earth again, dispelling the haze that had shrouded everyone's hearts.

The surrounding Ability Users erupted into deafening cheers, holding their weapons high, celebrating this hard-won victory.

"Brother Chen is awesome!"

"Boss is mighty!"

"Brother Chen, you are our god!"

Various words of praise poured in like a tide, but Ji Chen just smiled faintly. He walked to Ceng Yue and gently took her into his arms.

"It's okay now." He said softly, his tone filled with doting and love.

Just when everyone was immersed in the joy of victory, Ji Chen suddenly felt the communicator on his wrist vibrate slightly.

He opened it and found an encrypted message, the content only a few short words:

"Project X initiated."

Ji Chen's expression instantly became grave... ===== CHAPTER 182 =====
