Chapter 194: Urban Turbulence

Ji Chen and Ceng Yue stood atop a high building, overlooking the entire city.

The night sky was exceptionally quiet, but the air was filled with an abnormal energy fluctuation, making people feel uneasy.

Ji Chen frowned, silently sensing this invisible force, his heart filled with vigilance.

"Do you feel that this energy seems a bit different?" Ceng Yue's voice was slightly cold, but her tone carried a hint of worry.

She slowly approached Ji Chen and hooked her arm through his, seeking a sense of security.

Ji Chen felt her reliance, and a warm current surged in his heart, but the seriousness on his face did not diminish in the slightest.

"Indeed, this energy fluctuation seems more unstable, as if something big is about to happen," Ji Chen said in a deep voice, his gaze scanning the surroundings, analyzing every detail.

The surrounding buildings appeared exceptionally eerie in the sunset's afterglow, emitting strange light.

The crowds on the streets also became somewhat panicked, and a sense of unease spread among them.

Suddenly, a deafening roar came from afar, followed by a burst of dazzling light erupting from the roof of a high-rise building.

Ji Chen and Ceng Yue immediately became alert and flew rapidly toward the scene.

Upon arrival, they discovered a group of Ability Users going out of control and rampaging, destroying everything; building debris flew everywhere, and the street was a mess.

Ji Chen tried to stop these out-of-control Ability Users, shouting: "Everyone, calm down! I am Ji Chen, we can solve this problem together!" But the moment his voice fell, it was misinterpreted as a signal for attack.

The surrounding Ability Users instantly surrounded him.

"You guy, you actually dare to attack us while we're in chaos!" an Intermediate Ability User roared, and the surrounding Ability Users released their abilities, preparing to attack Ji Chen together.

Cold sweat broke out on Ji Chen's forehead; he clenched his fists, knowing he had to remain calm.

He took a deep breath, trying to explain again: "Everyone, listen to me, I am here to help you! We cannot kill each other..."

But the Ability Users' attacks had already surged like a tide. Ji Chen's gaze instantly became firm; his entire body's supernatural ability erupted like a volcano, the light brilliant, illuminating the entire night sky.

At this critical juncture, he looked deeply at Ceng Yue, the corners of his mouth lifting slightly, revealing a confident smile.

"You really underestimated me," Ji Chen said coldly. At the same time, his body was like a bolt of lightning, instantly charging into the enemy's encirclement.

The surrounding Ability Users were stunned by this scene, while Ceng Yue gripped Ji Chen's hand tightly. Ji Chen's figure wove through the crowd, fast as lightning.

Every strike was accompanied by a burst of energy, and those Ability Users who had been so aggressive were like paper in front of him, unable to withstand a single blow.

"Holy crap! This speed is simply heaven-defying!" An Ability User was sent flying by Ji Chen's punch, falling heavily to the ground, exclaiming in his mouth.

"This control is simply superb!" Another Ability User hadn't even reacted before being bound by Ji Chen's energy beam, unable to move, and could only watch as Ji Chen flashed past him.

Every one of Ji Chen's attacks was extremely precise, capable of effectively subduing his opponents without causing fatal injuries.

He was like a conductor in control of the whole situation, playing the surrounding Ability Users in the palm of his hand.

"Is this... the strength of the new leader? Simply too strong!" An Ability User looked at Ji Chen's back.

"It seems we all misunderstood him; he really is here to help us!" Another Ability User also realized his mistake, his heart filled with guilt.

After the battle ended, Ji Chen walked slowly to Ceng Yue's side, a hint of exhaustion on his face, but his gaze remained firm.

Ceng Yue gently stroked Ji Chen's face, her eyes full of tenderness and admiration. "Are you okay?"

"I'm fine, just a small scene," Ji Chen smiled slightly, holding Ceng Yue's hand, fingers interlaced.

The surrounding Ability Users cast looks of admiration at Ji Chen; they began to realize that this young man would lead them toward a new future.

Just then, a deep voice came from afar: "Interesting, truly interesting..."

This sudden voice was like a thunderclap on a clear day, making the previously cheering Ability Users instantly silent.

A figure draped in a black cloak walked slowly out of the shadows, exuding a suffocating sense of oppression.

"Hehe, new leader? You've got a big mouth." The Black Cloaked Person's tone was full of disdain, as if Ji Chen were nothing but an ant in his eyes.

"Who are you?" Ji Chen narrowed his eyes, vigilantly sizing up the other party.

"Someone who can't stand you acting cool." The Black Cloaked Person's tone was flippant but carried a thick killing intent.

Before the words had even finished, he turned into a black shadow and attacked Ji Chen like lightning.

"Well timed!" Ji Chen's fighting spirit soared, and he met him without fear.

The two clashed instantly; the shockwave produced by the collision of their abilities swept out like a hurricane, and the surrounding buildings collapsed like tofu dregs, dust flying and obscuring the sky.

"Damn! It's gods fighting!" The watching Ability Users retreated one after another, fearing they would be caught in the aftermath of this battle.

Ceng Yue watched nervously from the side, her palms sweating.

The battle between Ji Chen and the Black Cloaked Person could be described as a meeting of equals.

A punch here, a kick there, they fought to a standstill, spectacular and brilliant, comparable to a Hollywood action blockbuster.

"With just this bit of skill, you dare to call yourself a leader?" The Black Cloaked Person sneered, and a black dagger suddenly appeared in his hand, flickering with ghostly light.

"Hehe, petty tricks!" Ji Chen was not panicked in the slightest; he quickly dodged the Black Cloaked Person's attack and, seizing the opportunity, lashed out with a "Lightning Five-Chain Whip" that struck the Black Cloaked Person hard.

"Ah!" The Black Cloaked Person screamed, his body flying backward like a broken kite, falling heavily to the ground and vomiting blood.

"Just this? I thought you were so powerful; turns out you're just scum with a combat power of five." Ji Chen clapped his hands and said with disdain.

The watching Ability Users instantly boiled over; cheers of "Awesome! Brother Chen is mighty!" and "Brother Chen is the god forever!" rang out one after another, echoing through the clouds.

Just when everyone thought the crisis was resolved and were preparing to open champagne to celebrate, Ji Chen's expression suddenly changed; he felt a massive amount of supernatural energy rapidly gathering, and the strength of this energy made even him feel heart-palpitations.

"Not good! A bigger trouble is coming!" Ji Chen said in a deep voice, looking toward the direction where the energy was gathering. "Let's go!" Ji Chen pulled Ceng Yue's hand and sped toward the direction of the energy gathering... ===== CHAPTER 195 =====
