Chapter 265: Maze

Ji Chen held Ceng Yue's hand and stepped into the huge black maze.

A cold aura rushed toward them, the towering walls around like behemoths choosing people to devour, exuding dark light, making people shudder.

Ji Chen's eyes were as sharp as a hawk's, scanning everything around; any movement couldn't escape his eyes, as if saying: "This maze has something!" Ceng Yue followed closely behind him; although her face remained cold, her tense body exposed her inner tension; the pressure of this maze was directly maxed out.

"Click!" A light sound broke the silence of the maze.

The ground under Ji Chen's feet suddenly cracked, and countless sharp thorns instantly emerged from the ground, like a monster opening its bloody mouth, attacking them.

Ji Chen was quick-eyed and fast-handed, pulling Ceng Yue behind him, while his body tilted violently, dodging this attack by a hair's breadth.

"Damn! This maze is playing for real!" Ji Chen cursed in a low voice, feeling a burning pain in his arm; it was accidentally scratched by the sharp thorns when dodging just now.

However, this was just the beginning.

Just at the moment they stood firm, the walls of the maze seemed to come alive, and countless flames sprayed out, instantly surrounding them.

"Damn! This even has a chain reaction?" Ji Chen roared, his legs exerting force, taking Ceng Yue to dodge left and right in the flames, like a jumping elf.

The flames scorched their bodies, the scorching temperature making them feel suffocated.

Ji Chen felt a sharp pain in his back again; he knew he was injured again; this maze's way of greeting made him directly call out that he couldn't take it.

Ceng Yue's face also showed a painful expression; she gritted her teeth tightly, enduring the pain in her body; this ghost place simply made people want to explode on the spot.

Inside the maze, mechanisms and traps emerged one after another, sharp thorns, flames, poison mist...

Various dangers followed one after another, making people hard to guard against.

They were like two little beasts lost in the maze, desperately dodging, moving forward with difficulty.

The entire maze was like a huge meat grinder, trapping them firmly inside.

Just when the two dodged a wave of flame spraying and wanted to catch their breath.

Ji Chen suddenly stopped, his gaze fixed tightly ahead.

Ceng Yue noticed Ji Chen's abnormality and just wanted to open her mouth to ask.

But found Ji Chen narrowing his eyes, a meaningful smile hanging at the corner of his mouth, muttering to himself in a low voice: "This feeling, a bit interesting..."

Ahead, in the thick darkness, a huge figure slowly emerged.

It had a body like a small mountain, hideous horns, and a pair of eyes burning with hellfire.

The air was filled with a nauseating sulfur smell, suffocatingly oppressive.

"Damn, this BOSS is a bit cool!" Ji Chen couldn't help but complain, but his hands didn't slow down in the slightest.

He felt a strange energy surging from the depths of the maze, continuously pouring into his body.

The wounds scorched by the sharp thorns and flames were actually healing at a speed visible to the naked eye, leaving only faint traces.

Ceng Yue looked at Ji Chen in surprise; this man always brought her unexpected surprises.

She could feel that the aura on Ji Chen's body was constantly climbing, a powerful force surging within his body, as if it would erupt at any moment.

"Follow me closely." Ji Chen's voice was low and powerful, carrying a force that made people feel at ease.

The demon creature let out a deafening roar, its huge mouth opened, and a black energy wave swept over like a storm.

Ji Chen held Ceng Yue's waist, his body turned into a residual image, dodging the attack by a hair's breadth.

"Boom!"

The energy wave hit the maze wall, emitting a deafening explosion, gravel splashing, dust filling the air.

"Just this?" Ji Chen raised a trace of disdain at the corner of his mouth.

His figure flashed, instantly appearing before the demon creature, and punched out!

"Bang!"

With a loud noise, the demon creature's huge body was actually shaken back several steps!

This punch seemed to contain the power to split heaven and earth, making the entire maze tremble because of it.

The demon creature roared, brandishing its huge claws and slapping toward Ji Chen.

Ji Chen didn't dodge or evade, crossing his arms to block before him.

"Clang!"

With a loud noise of metal collision, Ji Chen remained motionless, while the demon creature's claws were shaken with pain.

"Come again!" Ji Chen's fighting intent burned in his eyes, and he took the initiative to attack again.

He used both fists and feet, attacking the demon creature like a storm.

Every attack carried the momentum of thunder, making the maze walls totter, as if they would collapse at any moment.

Ceng Yue stood on the side, her eyes full of shock and worship.

She had never seen such a powerful Ji Chen, like a god of war descending, unstoppable!

"Roar!" The demon creature roared again, its body suddenly expanded a circle, and an even more powerful aura emanated from it.

Ji Chen stopped attacking, his gaze fixed tightly on the demon creature, a meaningful smile appearing at the corner of his mouth: "Oh? Looks like you still have hidden skills..." Ji Chen raised a playful smile at the corner of his mouth; he could feel that the demon creature's power was indeed increasing with the attacks.

If he continued to go head-to-head, he was afraid he would fall into a protracted war, which was not his style.

His eyeballs rolled around, and he decided to change his thinking.

Ji Chen didn't go head-to-head anymore, but began to wander around the demon creature; every dodge was precise, making the demon creature's attacks like hitting cotton, having no effect at all.

At the same time, his hands were not idle.

A strange energy, like invisible threads, spread silently in the corners of the maze, weaving into a huge energy trap.

This was a skill he had newly understood after awakening his supernatural ability, capable of converting absorbed supernatural energy into various attack means.

The demon creature looked at Ji Chen, who was as slippery as a loach, waving its huge claws irritably, but couldn't even touch the hem of Ji Chen's clothes.

It roared angrily, its huge body bumping everywhere, but it could never touch the hem of Ji Chen's clothes, only able to let out powerless, crazy roars.

It looked around in confusion; the air seemed to be filled with a faint energy fluctuation, but it couldn't capture the specific source, and the entire atmosphere became strange.

"Almost there." Ji Chen whispered, revealing a confident smile.

He accelerated his speed violently, running toward the direction of the energy trap.

The demon creature was angered by him, let out a roar, and opened its huge strides to chase closely, its huge body shaking the entire maze ground until it tottered.

"Now!" Ji Chen's eyes flashed with brilliance; he stopped, and at the same time, his hands pressed downward violently.

In an instant, the maze ground seemed to come alive, countless energy beams instantly erupted, like a huge cage, binding the demon creature firmly inside.

The demon creature let out a painful roar, struggling desperately, but couldn't break free from the energy binding.

Its body was cut by the energy beams into countless wounds, and black blood gushed out.

Ji Chen looked at the trapped demon creature; he took a deep breath, all the energy in his body gathered on his right fist, emitting dazzling light.

"Goodbye, big guy." Ji Chen whispered; this punch of his gathered all his strength, carrying the momentum of destroying heaven and earth, and smashed hard on the demon creature's head.

"Boom!" With a loud noise, the entire maze trembled.

The demon creature's huge body flew backward like a kite with a broken string, smashing heavily on the ground, stirring up sky-filling dust.

It struggled a few times, but finally had no sound.

Ji Chen slowly retracted his fist; he stood there, like a king controlling everything, looking down at the world.

The surrounding maze walls began to show cracks and gradually collapsed.

He won!

Ceng Yue flew to Ji Chen's side and hugged him; although she didn't speak, the tightly hugging body was enough to express her inner excitement.

They cheered for this victory and celebrated their strength.

The surrounding space also seemed to be celebrating for them, light pouring in like a tide, wrapping them.

They were the focus of this world, true powerhouses!

The maze completely collapsed; they hugged each other, looking at a mysterious ruin appearing before their eyes, Ji Chen slowly opened his mouth: "This place, seems a bit interesting." ===== CHAPTER 266 =====
