Chapter 246: Breaking the Barrier

Ji Chen dusted off the dust on his body, his face full of defiance.

That hit just now had shaken his internal organs almost out of place; this mysterious symbol was quite arrogant!

He took his steps again, walking toward the symbol floating in mid-air.

His footsteps were steady, his eyes firm, as if he wanted to swallow this symbol alive.

The surrounding energy fluctuations remained manic, as if issuing a silent warning, and a heart-palpitating dangerous aura permeated the air.

"This thing is really a tough nut to crack!" Ji Chen cursed in his heart, but his feet did not pause in the slightest.

He was not the kind of coward who would give up easily; the harder the bone, the more he wanted to gnaw it down!

As the distance closed, a more intense mental oppression surged in like a tide, instantly swallowing Ji Chen's consciousness.

He felt his head being pierced by countless steel needles, the intense pain making him unable to help but hold his head and squat down.

The veins on his forehead bulged, and his body trembled slightly, showing how terrible the torture he was enduring.

The surrounding air seemed to have frozen, dull and suffocating, as if he were in the deep sea, surrounded by invisible pressure.

"Hiss..." Ji Chen gasped; this feeling was simply more refreshing than ten thousand ants having a party in his brain!

He could clearly feel that what the mysterious symbol released was not just energy, but also a powerful mental force that made people suffocate.

This force was like an invisible giant net, attempting to tear his consciousness apart completely.

He gritted his teeth, trying to resist this terrible mental oppression.

Sweat dripped from his forehead, landing on the ground and making a faint sound.

He felt his consciousness being eroded bit by bit, as if his soul were about to be extracted.

"No, can't fall!" Ji Chen roared in his heart, clenching his fists tightly, his nails digging deep into his flesh.

"Heh, interesting!" Ji Chen suddenly laughed, his mouth splitting open, but it looked incomparably ferocious.

Ji Chen took a deep breath, and a hot current surged in his dantian, quickly spreading to his whole body.

He mobilized all his willpower, hard as steel, to confront that erosive mental oppression.

"Come on, your grandpa is not afraid of you!" He roared in his heart, his willpower like an indestructible barrier, blocking that mental oppression firmly outside.

With his resistance, that mental oppression actually began to weaken!

Ji Chen's furrowed brows gradually relaxed, and a confident expression appeared on his face.

Ceng Yue, standing in the distance, saw this, and her long-tense nerves also relaxed slightly.

But things did not end there.

Only to see layers of energy shields suddenly appearing around the mysterious symbol, rippling like ripples.

These shields flickered with ghostly blue light, drifting like ghosts, yet emitting a heart-chilling coercion.

"Holy crap, it has this trick too?" Ji Chen raised his brows, cursing in his heart that this thing had too many tricks.

These shields not only had amazing defensive power, but also constantly released attack waves, preventing him from getting close.

Every attack wave contained huge energy, as if it wanted to tear him into fragments.

Ji Chen tried to take a step forward, but felt a huge resistance pushing him back.

This resistance was like an invisible wall, trapping him firmly in place.

"Interesting, looks like I have to show some real skills!" He lifted the corners of his mouth slightly, the surrounding energy shields flickering more violently, the ghostly blue light jumping like ghost fire, creating a tense and strange fighting atmosphere.

"Your grandpa wants to see how hard your turtle shell is!" Ji Chen said in a low voice, and a dazzling light gradually condensed in his hands...

The light in Ji Chen's hands suddenly condensed into a light sword, the sword body surging with flowing light, humming.

"Taste the power of your grandpa!" He shouted, the light sword swung, and a sharp Sword Qi slashed straight at the energy shield.

"Clang!" With a loud bang, the Sword Qi hit the shield, as if hitting a copper wall and iron bastion, stirring up a burst of energy ripples.

The shield remained motionless, but the Sword Qi was bounced back, rushing straight at Ji Chen's face.

"Holy crap, this thing can bounce back!" Ji Chen hurriedly dodged to the side, the bounced Sword Qi flying past his cheek, leaving a shallow bloody mark.

He touched the wound on his cheek and tsked, "Quite spicy."

He didn't believe in evil, swinging the light sword again, attacking the shield from different angles and with different strengths.

However, every attack was like a mud ox entering the sea, having no effect, and instead would be bounced back, making him exhausted to deal with.

Ceng Yue on the side furrowed her beautiful brows, watching Ji Chen's battle nervously.

Although she didn't say it, she had already broken into a cold sweat for him in her heart.

The surrounding energy fluctuations became more and more violent, and a scorched smell permeated the air.

After repeated failed attacks, Ji Chen stopped and began to think of a countermeasure.

"Hard-hitting won't work, have to change the train of thought." He touched his chin, his gaze falling on the constantly rippling energy shield, and a flash of inspiration suddenly struck his heart.

"Instead of confronting, it's better to resonate!"

He took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and began to mobilize his own Supernatural Ability energy.

A strange energy fluctuation radiated from him, merging with the violent energy around him.

Ceng Yue looked at Ji Chen in surprise; she could feel that the surrounding energy was changing, the originally violent energy gradually becoming gentle, as if responding to Ji Chen's call.

Ji Chen's body gradually emitted dazzling light, echoing the ghostly blue light on the shield.

The two energies attracted each other, merged with each other, forming a strange resonance.

Suddenly, Ji Chen's body began to become transparent, as if about to merge into the surrounding environment.

He suddenly opened his eyes.

"Ji Chen!" Ceng Yue exclaimed, but only saw an empty space; where was Ji Chen's figure?

The surrounding energy fluctuations also subsided, as if nothing had happened.

Ceng Yue stood dazed in place, her heart full of unease, "This guy, what kind of moth is he making again..." ===== CHAPTER 247 =====
