Chapter 248: Breaking Out of the Trap

Ji Chen looked at the scene before him like the arrival of doomsday, and the alarm bell in his heart rang loudly.

The entire mysterious space was like being gnawed by a giant beast, beginning to collapse in large swaths.

The shattered space flew everywhere like glass shards, making a harsh "crack, crack" sound, as if death were whispering.

"Holy crap, I messed up!" Ji Chen cursed in his heart; this was not the time to enjoy the scenery, if he didn't run now, he would really be buried alive by this space.

He forced himself to calm down, his gaze like a torch, scanning the surroundings rapidly.

He had to find a place where the space was relatively stable as an exit to escape; this was a top-priority matter of life and death.

The surrounding space fragments fell like a rainstorm, each emitting heart-palpitating energy fluctuations.

Ji Chen's figure flashed like a ghost, weaving between the fragments, every dodge being extremely thrilling; if he were not careful, he would be swallowed by the space fragments.

He was like dancing on the tip of a knife, every movement consuming a large amount of mental and physical strength; at this moment, he was like a cockroach struggling for survival in the cracks—however, this cockroach was not an ordinary cockroach, but a cockroach possessing an invincible Golden Finger.

The speed of the space collapse was getting faster and faster, as if it wanted to crush everything.

Ji Chen felt as if he were being squeezed by the entire space, powerful forces surging from all directions, making him unable to breathe.

His speed of movement began to slow down, every step like walking in a quagmire.

"Damn, this feeling is like playing a real-life escape room!" Ji Chen gritted his teeth, trying to stay awake.

However, his body began to become disobedient, a space fragment grazing his arm, instantly leaving a bloody mark on him; the burning pain made his brows furrow, but he didn't even have time to groan.

"Damn! Fight it!" Ji Chen roared in his heart; he knew he had to speed up, otherwise, he would really be trapped here.

The light in his eyes became firmer, like a burning flame; even in such a desperate situation, he did not give up hope.

Ji Chen felt the power surging within his body; that was the proof of his becoming stronger, and also his hope for survival.

Just then, a familiar call came to his ears, though a bit blurry, it made his heart shake: "Ji Chen! I'm here!"

Ji Chen's gaze froze; it was Ceng Yue's voice!

He immediately turned his direction and rushed toward the source of the sound.

He had to meet up with her as soon as possible, and then leave here together.

Just as he was about to rush out of the collapsing space, the surrounding space fragments suddenly became violent, as if attracted by some force, frantically surging toward Ji Chen's direction.

Ji Chen's eyes froze, a trace of coldness floating in his heart; he lifted the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a dangerous arc, and said in a low voice: "Just in time..."

The Supernatural Ability energy in Ji Chen's body erupted like a volcanic eruption, instantly forming an indestructible protective cover around his body.

This protective cover flickered with dazzling light, like a giant amber, wrapping him firmly within it.

Those space fragments attacking like a rainstorm hit the protective cover, making "bang, bang, bang" muffled sounds, but could not shake it in the slightest.

Ji Chen's eyes were firm, the corners of his mouth lifting slightly; at this moment, he was like a war god clad in armor, fearless.

The dangerous aura around him could only temporarily retreat in the face of this powerful force.

However, the crisis was not resolved.

Just as the space fragments gradually subsided, a scalp-numbing roar came, followed by countless monsters condensed from space energy emerging like a tide.

These monsters were in various forms, some like distorted ghosts, others like monsters with sharp claws; they bared their fangs and brandished their claws, pouncing toward Ji Chen, as if they wanted to tear him into fragments.

"Holy crap, what kind of moth is this again!" Ji Chen spat; he had originally thought he could catch his breath, but didn't expect this space collapse to come with a "buy one get one free."

His figure was as flexible as an ape, weaving between the monsters, dodging their attacks.

His movements were smooth and swift, like a ghost, every dodge being just right, making the monsters miss.

His counterattack was even sharper, every strike accurately hitting the monsters' vital points, making them let out painful wails.

Although these monsters were numerous, they seemed somewhat vulnerable in front of Ji Chen.

If there were any onlookers present at this moment, they would definitely be amazed by Ji Chen's skills.

He was like a jumping elf, dancing in the collapsing space, every punch, every kick, carrying powerful force, making the surrounding space tremble.

However, this battle also made the space collapse more violently, the surrounding cracking sounds getting louder and louder, as if the entire space were about to collapse completely.

"No, have to finish it quickly!" Ji Chen thought to himself; he could feel the instability of the space and had to find Ceng Yue as soon as possible, then escape here.

His eyes froze, seizing an opening, just about to mobilize his Supernatural Ability to give these monsters a hard one.

Just then, he saw those space monsters seemingly attracted by some invisible force, actually gathering toward his location; this situation made him pause, and a bad feeling surged in his heart.

Ji Chen furrowed his brows, just as he was pondering the trickery in this, he suddenly felt a stinging pain in his chest, as if he had been hit by something.

He looked down, and a tiny bloody hole appeared on his chest, blood gurgling out.

"Holy crap, what kind of thing can penetrate my cover?" Ji Chen was shocked in his heart; it seemed this collapsing space was far more dangerous than he had imagined.

He quickly mobilized his Supernatural Ability, repairing the injury on his chest, while vigilantly scanning the surroundings, looking for hidden dangers.

However, just as he wanted to take further action, he discovered that his body seemed to be bound by an invisible force, and the surrounding space fragments became even more violent.

His heart skipped a beat, knowing the situation was bad, and he had to get rid of the current predicament as soon as possible.

Ji Chen seized the opportunity, took a deep breath, and the strange energy within his body began to run frantically.

Those space monsters that had originally been baring their fangs and brandishing their claws, the moment they approached him, actually distorted and deformed strangely, eventually turning into pure energy and being absorbed into his body.

This feeling was like a dry sponge suddenly immersed in water, greedily absorbing every drop of moisture.

Ji Chen felt his power constantly increasing, an unprecedented powerful feeling filling his whole body.

"Come on, my little babies, let the storm come more violently!" Ji Chen curled his mouth into a wicked smile, excitement flickering in his eyes.

He opened his arms, the energy in his body erupting like a volcanic eruption, turning into rays of dazzling light, sweeping toward those remaining monsters.

"Boom, boom, boom!"

Violent explosions rang through the entire space, and those monsters vanished into thin air under the powerful energy impact.

Ji Chen stood there, like a war god, his whole body emitting powerful coercion, and the surrounding space fragments seemed to be affected by him, floating obediently around him, not daring to get close in the slightest.

"Done!" Ji Chen patted his hands and said relaxedly.

He thought of Ceng Yue waiting outside, and a warm current surged in his heart.

"Little Yueyue, wait for me, I'm coming!" A gentle expression appeared on Ji Chen's face, and he accelerated, looking for the exit.

The surrounding collapsing space seemed to feel his urgent mood, actually showing signs of easing.

Finally, Ji Chen found the exit, and he rushed out without hesitation.

However, what greeted him was not the expected light, but a pitch-black darkness.

"What's going on?" Ji Chen muttered to himself, a sense of unease rising in his heart. ===== CHAPTER 249 =====
