Chapter 192: Supernatural Ability Rampage
Ji Chen's body felt as if it were being pierced by electric currents; his muscles were twitching all over, and his supernatural ability was raging within him like a wild horse that had broken its reins, charging about recklessly.
"I..." Ji Chen just wanted to say something, but no sound could come from his throat; there was only a blurred syllable, as if someone had grabbed him by the neck.
He used all his strength to tightly grip Ceng Yue's arm, as if that were his only reliance, his only salvation.
Ceng Yue's heart was almost jumping out of her chest. She quickly gathered her own supernatural ability, attempting to stabilize Ji Chen's body, but that powerful force was like an indestructible wall of bronze and iron, rebounding all of her ability back at her.
She felt a massive force shake her away, and she fell heavily to the ground. The warning sound of the Java Native Interface rang in her ears, like the tolling of a doomsday bell.
"Ji Chen!" Ceng Yue's loud cry pierced through the chaotic air around them.
She scrambled up, a resolute light flashing in her eyes, and charged toward Ji Chen once more.
But the moment she approached, that supernatural force was like an invisible bolt of lightning, forcing her back again.
Ji Chen's face was full of pain and guilt. He could feel his body undergoing some unpredictable change; the skin on his surface began to crack under the impact of the supernatural ability, as if it would shatter at any moment.
His consciousness gradually blurred, and the world around him turned pitch black, with only Ceng Yue's blurred figure swaying before his eyes.
"I... am... sorry..." Ji Chen's voice was so weak it was almost inaudible, but every word seemed to use up all his strength.
He felt his body gradually losing control; that frenzied supernatural power was almost tearing him apart.
Ceng Yue's tears fell like broken beads, sliding onto the ground. Her heart was filled with a sense of powerlessness.
She did not know what to do and could only kneel helplessly on the ground, her hands clenched into tight fists, her nails digging deep into her palms until blood seeped out, yet she remained oblivious.
"Ji Chen... you cannot fall..." Ceng Yue's voice trembled, but her eyes remained filled with determination.
She gritted her teeth, stood up again, and prepared to try one last time.
Just then, Ji Chen suddenly felt a strong willpower surge from deep within his heart.
Ji Chen's body suddenly stopped trembling, and the power of his supernatural ability seemed to weaken slightly at this moment.
He took a deep breath and shook his head forcefully, trying to keep himself clear-headed.
Ceng Yue's Ji Chen gritted his teeth, the veins on his forehead bulging and twisting like earthworms.
The restless supernatural ability within him was like a volcano about to erupt, ready to swallow him at any moment.
But at this critical juncture, a powerful willpower surged from deep within his heart, like an indestructible barrier, forcibly suppressing that violent supernatural ability by a fraction.
"Hoo..." Ji Chen let out a long breath; the giant stone that had been pressing on his chest was finally moved aside a little, allowing him to catch his breath.
Hope's flame reignited in his eyes, and a glimmer of light seemed to appear in the gray world.
The suffocating oppression in the surrounding air also eased slightly, like the brief stillness before a storm.
However, this short-lived peace was soon broken.
The suppressed supernatural ability was like a provoked beast, suddenly splitting into several small Energy Entities, like shining light orbs, crazily attacking everything around them.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!" The Energy Entities slammed into the surrounding buildings, emitting deafening explosions; rubble flew, and dust filled the air.
The already tottering buildings collapsed with a heart-stopping roar under the impact of the Energy Entities.
Ji Chen's expression changed, and he thought to himself, "Oh no!" He had to divert part of his energy to deal with these Energy Entities, like a juggler who had to control high-speed spinning plates while catching flying knives falling from the sky.
"Damn it!" Ji Chen cursed, a wave of exhaustion washing over him like a tide; his body had reached its limit.
Seeing this, Ceng Yue joined the battle without hesitation.
Her figure was like lightning, weaving between the Energy Entities like an elegant dancer; every dodge was perfectly timed.
Her attacks were sharp and precise, and every strike could knock back an Energy Entity.
But the Energy Entities were numerous and moved at extreme speeds, like maggots on a bone, making them impossible to guard against.
Ji Chen and Ceng Yue, joining forces, gradually felt overwhelmed.
"This won't do!" Ji Chen wiped the sweat from his face, feeling extremely anxious.
He felt his strength draining rapidly, and the world before his eyes began to blur.
Just then, he suddenly noticed a detail: when these Energy Entities attacked, they seemed to influence each other, and there appeared to be some connection between their trajectories...
"Wait..." Ji Chen suddenly raised his head, his gaze locked tightly onto those Energy Entities, "Could it be..."
Ji Chen's gaze was as sharp as a hawk's, locked firmly onto the rampaging Energy Entities.
Hidden within their seemingly chaotic movement trajectories, there appeared to be some kind of pattern, some kind of connection...
"I've found it! I've found it!" A flash of inspiration struck Ji Chen's mind, and he let out an excited low roar.
He discovered that these Energy Entities were not entirely independent but were connected like invisible silk threads; if one prospered, all prospered, and if one suffered, all suffered.
As long as he found the key node, he could trigger a chain reaction, just like knocking over dominoes!
He took a deep breath, condensed the remaining supernatural ability in his body into a single point, and aimed at one of the Energy Entities flickering with a ghostly blue light—that was the core connecting the others!
"It's you!" A confident arc appeared at the corner of Ji Chen's mouth, like an experienced hunter locking onto his prey.
"Boom!" A strike containing all of Ji Chen's power, like a cannonball leaving the chamber, slammed fiercely into the ghostly blue Energy Entity.
"Bang, bang, bang, bang!" Like firecrackers exploding, the ghostly blue Energy Entity turned into dust in the violent explosion; the other Energy Entities instantly lost their connection, scurrying about like headless flies before finally annihilating one by one.
"Awesome! Done!" Ji Chen waved his fists excitedly, like a child who had won a competition.
The suffocating oppression in the surroundings instantly dissipated, replaced by the relief of surviving a disaster.
Ceng Yue also let out a long breath, a faint smile appearing on her face.
In the battle just now, she and Ji Chen had cooperated tacitly, as if they shared a single mind.
A single look, a single movement, and they understood each other's thoughts.
This wordless rapport made them calmer and stronger in the face of crisis.
They occasionally looked at each other, their eyes flashing with trust and love, and a warm current flowed between them.
Ji Chen felt his whole body filled with strength, as if he possessed infinite possibilities.
"It's so good to have you here," he said softly, looking at Ceng Yue.
However, this moment of tranquility was soon broken.
A huge vortex suddenly appeared in the sky, like a giant beast opening its bloody maw, ready to swallow everything.
Heart-stopping energy fluctuations radiated from the vortex, as if some powerful existence were awakening.
"What is that..." Ji Chen and Ceng Yue looked up at the giant vortex in the sky simultaneously, an inexplicable sense of unease rising in their hearts.
A gale rose, sand and stones flew, and the world seemed to stand still at this moment.
Ji Chen gripped Ceng Yue's hand, his gaze firm: "Let's go, let's go take a look." ===== CHAPTER 193 =====
