Chapter 199: After the Truth

The massive portal appeared out of thin air, emitting a suffocating sense of oppression, as if an ancient giant beast had opened its bloody maw, wanting to swallow everything.

Ji Chen felt an unprecedentedly powerful aura, his heart freezing; this was definitely not something those small fries from before could compare to.

He took a deep breath, his eyes sharp as knife blades, looking straight at the mysterious portal, his tone carrying a hint of determination: "No matter what monsters or demons are inside, today I, Ji Chen, am going to turn it upside down!"

He turned to look at Ceng Yue beside him; the girl's face also carried a hint of solemnity, but her eyes held more trust.

Ji Chen knew that although she didn't say it, she would definitely stand firmly by his side.

He grinned, revealing a mouthful of white teeth: "Let's go, wifey, let's go see what secret is hidden behind this door."

The two did not hesitate in the slightest and stepped into the portal side by side.

The view was instantly swallowed by darkness, followed by dazzling red light flashing; they were in an eerie blood-colored space.

Before they could adapt, a group of Ability Users draped in black robes, exuding thick dark aura, appeared like ghosts.

"Damn, this is practically poking the nest of Dark Ability Users!" Ji Chen cursed inwardly, but his movements were not slow; he roared, and dazzling golden light instantly erupted around his body; the golden chains were like giant dragons awakening, flying toward the Dark Ability Users.

"Bang, bang, bang!" A series of collision sounds rang out; the Dark Ability Users were not pushovers either, and they all used their dark abilities, attempting to resist Ji Chen's attack.

Various black energy waves, claws, and tentacles rained down on Ji Chen like a storm; the air was filled with a burnt smell, and space was twisted and deformed by the powerful abilities.

Ceng Yue was not idle either; she gripped the weapon in her hand tightly, her figure nimbly weaving through the battlefield.

She released streaks of sharp ice blades, cooperating with Ji Chen's attack, catching the Dark Ability Users off guard.

The two cooperated tacitly, and for a time, they actually suppressed the Dark Ability Users.

However, the number of Dark Ability Users was simply too many; they surged over wave after wave like a tide.

Ji Chen felt the energy of his ability being consumed rapidly; he gritted his teeth, knowing now was absolutely not the time to retreat.

He had to find a breakthrough to lead Ceng Yue out of the encirclement.

Suddenly, Ji Chen noticed that there seemed to be some kind of connection between these Dark Ability Users; their actions were not entirely independent but were like...

Before he could think more, a deep roar came from the Dark Ability Users, and their attack method changed abruptly.

"Careful!" Ceng Yue cried out, suddenly tackling Ji Chen to the ground, narrowly dodging a black energy shockwave.

Ji Chen looked up at those black-robed people and discovered that the black marks on their chests were flickering slightly...

"These guys... are being controlled!" Ji Chen scrambled up from the ground, his eyes flashing with brilliance.

"Their power stems from the connection, and they are also restricted by the connection! As long as the connection is cut..." He licked his lips, revealing a bloodthirsty smile, "The game is over!"

The golden chains danced wildly again; this time, the target was no longer individual Dark Ability Users but the black marks flickering on their chests.

The chains wrapped around the marks precisely like spirit snakes, and a powerful suction came; the dark energy in the marks was extracted like a pump, rapidly flowing toward Ji Chen.

"Argh!" The Dark Ability Users emitted painful howls; their connection was severed, and their previously uniform attacks became chaotic, bumping into each other like headless flies.

"Now!" Ji Chen seized the opportunity, brought his hands together, and dazzling golden light gathered in his palms, forming a massive energy ball.

"Taste this! Super invincible ultimate... Big! Fire! Ball!"

The energy ball carried a destructive aura and slammed fiercely into the chaotic group of Dark Ability Users.

Boom!

With a deafening explosion, the blood-colored space shook violently, as if about to collapse.

After the explosion, the air was filled with a burnt smell, and the Dark Ability Users lay scattered on the ground, life or death unknown.

Ji Chen clapped his hands, the surrounding dark aura gradually dissipating, revealing the original appearance of the space.

The corners of his mouth lifted slightly, revealing a confident smile: "Done! Work finished!"

Just then, an anomaly occurred!

A force hidden in the dark suddenly erupted, and a black blade cut through space like lightning, piercing straight toward Ceng Yue's back.

"Ceng Yue!"

At the critical moment, Ji Chen turned suddenly, pushing Ceng Yue away, but the black blade still grazed Ceng Yue's shoulder, and blood instantly stained her clothes red.

"Damn it!" Ji Chen held the injured Ceng Yue; he gently placed Ceng Yue on the ground, tenderly stroking her cheek, his voice trembling as he said: "I'm sorry, it's my fault..."

The surrounding air seemed to freeze, and the oppression was suffocating.

Ji Chen stood up slowly, golden light burning on his body, as if he were an angry war god.

He raised his head, his gaze coldly scanning the surroundings, saying word by word: "Who is it? Get out here!"

In the silent space, an eerie voice slowly sounded: "Hehehe... you actually managed to discover my existence... interesting..." Ji Chen carefully placed Ceng Yue in a relatively safe corner, gently covering her wound with his jacket.

He took a deep breath, his eyes flashing with cold killing intent.

"Wait for me, I'll be back soon." He kissed her forehead, stood up, and golden light burned around him, like a war god reborn in fire.

"You hiding rat, get out here!" Ji Chen roared, his voice containing powerful ability, making the entire space buzz.

"Hehehe... you are strong, but not enough!" That eerie voice sounded again, carrying a hint of disdain.

"Cut the crap, if you have the guts, come out and fight one-on-one!" Ji Chen roared impatiently; he couldn't wait to tear this hiding rat into pieces.

A black figure slowly emerged from the distortion of space, shrouded in darkness, face invisible, only a pair of scarlet eyes visible, flashing with hair-raising light.

"Die!" Ji Chen stopped talking, raised his ability to the limit, and golden light erupted like a volcanic eruption, forming a massive golden dragon that roared toward the black shadow.

"Petty tricks!" The black shadow sneered, and black energy surged out like a tide, clashing fiercely with the golden dragon.

With a heaven-shaking roar, the entire space shook violently, as if it would collapse at any moment.

The shockwave from the explosion pushed Ji Chen back several steps, but he quickly stabilized his form, his eyes burning with even stronger fighting spirit.

"Not over yet!" Ji Chen roared, his hands forming seals rapidly, and golden light gathered in his hands, forming a massive energy ball.

"Super invincible ultimate... Energy Pill!" Ji Chen shouted and slammed the energy ball toward the black shadow.

The moment the energy ball collided with the black shadow, a more terrifying energy shock erupted, and the entire space began to twist and deform, as if about to be torn apart.

The black shadow emitted a miserable scream, its body gradually disintegrating, finally turning into a wisp of black smoke and disappearing into the air.

"Hoo... finally solved it." Ji Chen let out a long breath, the golden light on his body gradually dissipating; he felt his strength had received a massive boost, as if touching a higher level of realm.

The surrounding space gradually returned to calm; Ji Chen turned to walk toward Ceng Yue, only to find she had already woken up and was looking at him with worry.

"I'm fine now," Ji Chen said with a smile, walking to her side and gently pulling her into his arms.

"Fool, why did you do that?" Ceng Yue hugged Ji Chen tightly, her voice choked with sobs.

"Because you are the most important person to me," Ji Chen said tenderly, "For you, I am willing to give everything."

The two looked at each other deeply, then hugged tightly; the surroundings were full of warmth and love, their feelings sublimated at this moment, and the entire space seemed to be infected by their love.

Just then, the entire Urban Ability World returned to normal, and Ji Chen became a hero revered by all.

He and Ceng Yue stood at the highest point of the city, overlooking the beautiful world, enjoying the joy of victory.

"Next, we..." Ji Chen looked at Ceng Yue, his eyes flashing with gentle light. ===== CHAPTER 200 =====
