Chapter 201: Fierce Ability Battle

Ji Chen's body fell heavily to the ground, dust flying.

He groaned, a trace of blood spilling from the corner of his mouth, staining his clothes red.

The intense impact made him feel as if his internal organs had been displaced, as if countless needles were pricking him.

But he had no fear, struggling to stand up, flames of unyielding spirit burning in his eyes.

"Ji Chen!" Ceng Yue was burning with anxiety, flying to his side to support his tottering body.

The surrounding air seemed to freeze, everyone holding their breath, worried gazes focused on Ji Chen.

Seeing this, the man in black let out an eerie sneer: "Humph, overestimating yourself! Now you know how powerful I am?" He didn't stop, black energy rolling in his hands like a poisonous snake waiting to devour, attacking Ji Chen again.

"Dodge!" Ceng Yue exclaimed, shielding Ji Chen behind her, attempting to block with her own ability.

However, the man in black's new ability was too powerful; her strength was like a mantis trying to stop a chariot, completely unable to block it.

Black energy surged like a tide; Ji Chen felt his body constrained by an invisible force, unable to move.

He watched helplessly as the energy approached, a sense of despair surging into his heart like a tide.

Could it be...

Is today the day I die here?

Wave after wave of attacks poured down like a storm; Ji Chen's body was sent flying again and again, every landing causing him excruciating pain.

He felt his bones were about to shatter, and his consciousness began to blur.

"Stop! You lunatic!" Ceng Yue shouted with all her might, her eyes red.

But she was helpless and could only watch the person she loved suffer torture; this sense of powerlessness made her nearly collapse.

The man in black, however, had no mercy, instead becoming even more vicious, his attacks even more intense.

He grinned, as if enjoying the pleasure of this slaughter.

"Give up, you can't win against me!" The man in black's voice was like a demon from hell, carrying a hair-raising chill.

Ji Chen's consciousness grew increasingly blurred, everything before his eyes becoming twisted.

Just when he was about to lose consciousness, a scene suddenly flashed in his mind: it was a sunny afternoon, he and Ceng Yue were sitting on a park bench, she was leaning on his shoulder, a faint smile on her face...

"Yue..." Ji Chen spat out a word with difficulty, his voice so weak it was almost inaudible.

Ceng Yue gripped his hand tightly, tears blurring her eyes: "I'm here, I'm here..."

"Yue..." Ji Chen whispered; this name was like a shot of adrenaline, instantly dispelling the fog shrouding his consciousness.

He recalled the faint smile at the corner of Ceng Yue's mouth in the sunlight, like a gentle breeze, gentle and firm.

A warm current surged from the bottom of his heart, dispelling the chill on his body.

He suddenly opened his eyes, like a sleeping lion awakening, raging war fires burning in the depths of his eyes.

The surrounding darkness seemed to fear this power, retreating one after another.

He struggled to stand up, his bones emitting a tooth-aching friction sound, his body like a combat machine restarting, erupting with astonishing momentum.

The man in black's mocking smile froze on his face; he looked at Ji Chen in disbelief: "This... how is this possible? You were clearly..."

"Humph, want me to lie down? In your next life!" Ji Chen's mouth curled into a cold smile, and a powerful energy burst from within him; it was the power of absorption and conversion, like a galloping river, surging and roaring within him.

He felt as if he had been reborn, filled with strength.

Ceng Yue looked at Ji Chen in surprise, the worry in her eyes instantly replaced by surprise and admiration; she could no longer suppress the excitement in her heart, rushing into Ji Chen's arms and hugging him tightly.

She pressed her body against him, feeling the scorching power radiating from him, as if wanting to melt him into her own body.

"You're okay, that's really great..." Ceng Yue's voice carried a hint of sobbing; her tone, though still cool, was full of concern and love.

She was like a small beast abandoned in the wilderness, finally finding a harbor to rely on.

Ji Chen felt Ceng Yue's warm hug; he gently hugged Ceng Yue back and whispered in her ear: "Don't worry, I'm here."

A powerful force filled Ji Chen's limbs and bones; he felt he was stronger than ever before; this force was like a volcanic eruption, surging crazily within him, ready to explode at any moment.

He raised his head, his eyes like knife blades, piercing straight at the man in black: "Game, it's time to end!"

He suddenly let go of Ceng Yue.

The man in black felt the astonishing power erupting from Ji Chen, his face becoming solemn; he gripped the black energy in his hands tightly, as if holding a life-saving straw.

"Today, either you die or I die!" Ji Chen's tone was cold; the next second, his figure disappeared in place like a ghost, leaving only a residual image.

"What!?" The man in black exclaimed, unable to react in time, when suddenly a fist carrying cold killing intent appeared before his face...

Ji Chen's speed was astonishing, like a bolt of lightning cutting through the night sky.

Before the man in black could react, Ji Chen's fist had slammed hard into his face.

"Bang!" With a dull roar, the man in black flew backward like a broken kite, falling heavily to the ground and splashing up a cloud of dust.

"Just this?" Ji Chen curled his lips in disdain, shaking his wrist and emitting a "click" sound.

He didn't give the man in black a chance to catch his breath, his figure disappearing again, appearing behind the man in black like a ghost, and kicking him in the back.

The man in black was sent flying again, vomiting a mouthful of blood, his face pale as paper.

He struggled to stand up, only to find his body was out of control, as if it had fallen apart.

"You... what kind of monster are you?" The man in black looked at Ji Chen in terror; he had never seen such a powerful Ability User, which was beyond his cognition.

"Monster? Hehe, you're the monster!" Ji Chen sneered, charging toward the man in black again, his fists and feet falling like raindrops, every strike carrying powerful force, making the man in black suffer excruciating pain.

The surrounding space was twisted by the collision of their abilities, dazzling light flashing non-stop, like broad daylight.

The onlookers were all amazed by this fierce battle; they had never seen such a spectacular duel.

"Awesome! Brother Chen is mighty!"

"This is the real powerhouse!"

"Brother Chen, go, take him down!"

Cheers rose one after another; Ji Chen seemed encouraged, his attacks becoming even more violent.

He constantly changed his attack methods, making the man in black unable to predict and overwhelmed.

Suddenly, Ji Chen discovered the flaw in the man in black's new ability! A cold smile curled at the corner of his mouth.

"It's over!" Ji Chen roared, concentrating all his ability into one point, and launched a fatal strike!

"Boom!"

With a loud roar, the man in black was hit, his body tottering, a look of terror on his face.

"Won! Brother Chen won!"

The people around erupted into deafening cheers; they cheered for Ji Chen's victory and applauded his strength.

Ji Chen stood proudly, his heart filled with pride.

He had finally defeated this powerful enemy and proven his strength.

However, just when everyone thought the battle was over, the man in black suddenly disappeared!

And Ji Chen's ability showed some strange fluctuations, like ripples on the water surface, spreading outward...

"What's going on?" Ceng Yue noticed the anomaly and walked to Ji Chen's side, asking with concern.

Ji Chen frowned, feeling the strange fluctuations of the ability within him, his heart filled with doubt and unease.

He slowly stretched out his hand, looking at the faint light flickering in his palm, muttering to himself: "This... what is it..." ===== CHAPTER 202 =====
