Chapter 268: Rescue

In Ji Chen's eyes, anger burned like substantial flames; he stared fixedly at the energy shield trapping Ceng Yue, as if wanting to tear it apart with his gaze.

The aura all over his body was like a volcanic eruption, powerful energy fluctuations making the surrounding runes begin to jump uneasily, flickering, as if in fear, and as if in mockery.

The air was filled with an atmosphere tense to the extreme, as if it would explode in the next second.

"A mere broken cover, also wants to trap my Ji Chen's person?" He gritted his teeth, roared in a low voice, his legs exerted force violently, like a cannonball out of the chamber, smashing hard against the energy shield.

"Bang!" With a muffled sound, the energy shield remained motionless, instead it was Ji Chen, as if hitting an invisible wall, his body shaking violently.

A powerful rebounding force instantly erupted, like a heavy hammer, smashing hard against his chest.

"Puff!" A mouthful of blood gushed out, Ji Chen's body flew backward, smashing heavily on the ground.

He knelt on one knee, one hand covering his chest, blood still remaining at the corner of his mouth.

"Damn!" Ji Chen hammered the ground hard, his knuckles somewhat white, the unwillingness and anger in his heart surging like a tide, making him wish he could smash this damn energy shield to pieces.

He didn't believe in evil and got up again, his eyes sharp as knife blades, looking directly at the energy shield, saying disdainfully: "This little trick, also wants to block me?"

He rushed toward the energy shield again, fists clenched, preparing to use brute force to break it open.

However, this time, the runes around the energy shield seemed to come alive, becoming brighter and more active, exuding even stranger light.

As if mocking his powerlessness, and as if warning of his overestimation of his own capabilities.

Ji Chen's fist smashed heavily on the energy shield, the rebounding force struck again, like countless steel needles stabbing into his body.

He felt his internal organs were as if shattered, the intense pain making him almost unable to stand firm, his body tottering.

"Damn..." Ji Chen gasped in a low voice, gritting his teeth tightly, trying hard to maintain his posture.

His heart was filled with anger and unwillingness; he couldn't accept that he was actually so powerless.

He had clearly stood at the peak of all worlds, why was he helpless in the face of a broken cover?

"I don't believe it... I must save you!" He roared, his voice filled with determination.

He slowly raised his head.

Just at this moment, he felt the blood within his body as if boiling, a familiar and powerful force beginning to surge within his body...

He stared fixedly at the cage, muttering to himself: "This... this is..."

Ji Chen's blood surged like magma, warm currents flowing through his whole body, as if the parched land met sweet rain, greedily absorbing everything around.

The supernatural energy dissipated in the ruin, like finding a home, rushing into his body one after another.

His whole body began to emit dazzling light, like a small sun, dispelling the surrounding darkness.

"This feeling... good!" Ji Chen couldn't help but roar in a low voice, feeling the explosive power within his body, he felt as if he could punch a planet to pieces, that feeling of controlling everything made his confidence explode.

"Click! Click!"

Cracks like spider webs began to spread on the energy shield; the originally indestructible energy shield was now like a candle in the wind, tottering.

Looking at everything happening before his eyes, Ji Chen raised a charming smile at the corner of his mouth; at this moment, he was like a god controlling everything, looking down at the world.

He raised his head, looking through the gradually shattering energy shield at Ceng Yue inside.

The moment their eyes met, the whole world seemed to quiet down, leaving only each other.

Ceng Yue changed from her usual coldness.

The atmosphere around, which was originally tense to the point of explosion, also eased slightly because of this deep glance.

Ji Chen slowly raised his hand, gently stroking the constantly expanding cracks on the energy shield, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, his tone firm and confident: "Yue, I'm here to save you!" He felt the surging power within his body, as if it would erupt in the next second, this feeling, simply too good!

"Click!" With a crisp shattering sound, the energy shield could no longer support itself, like broken glass, turning into specks of light, dissipating into the air.

Ji Chen hugged Ceng Yue into his arms, feeling the faint fragrance on her body, his heart also settled down.

Just at this moment, a cold voice sounded in the ears of the two, like a poisonous snake drilling into the eardrum, "Hehe, what a touching love..."

A black shadow slowly walked out from the distorted space, the cold laughter echoing in the ruin, making people shudder.

"Hehe, the little couple is quite loving, unfortunately, today you are all going to die here!" Before the black shadow finished speaking, it turned into a residual image, carrying a world-destroying aura, heading straight for Ji Chen and Ceng Yue.

Ji Chen was quick-eyed and fast-handed, hugged Ceng Yue's slender waist, and dodged the black shadow's attack with a flash.

With a loud boom, the black shadow's attack missed, smashing a huge deep pit on the ground, gravel splashing, dust flying.

"Damn, attacking so ruthlessly!" Ji Chen couldn't help but complain, if this were hit, he would probably die on the spot.

"Yue, hold on tight!" Ji Chen drank in a low voice, energy surging all over his body, turning into a golden light, rushing toward the black shadow.

Two powerful forces collided together, erupting with dazzling light, like a supernova explosion, illuminating the entire ruin.

"Bang, bang, bang!" The two's fists and feet intersected, every collision emitting a deafening sound, the surrounding space distorted by their battle power, as if it would collapse at any moment.

Ji Chen fought more bravely as he went, the energy within his body erupting like a volcanic eruption, every punch carrying world-destroying momentum.

In the intense battle, Ji Chen keenly captured a flaw in the black shadow—a place on his back where energy fluctuations were unusually weak.

Ji Chen raised a cold sneer at the corner of his mouth, secretly thinking: "Found your weak point!"

He took a deep breath, concentrated all his power on his right fist, and punched out!

This punch, gathering all his power, like a golden lightning, cut through space, hitting the black shadow's back squarely!

"Boom!"

With a loud noise, the black shadow was hit by Ji Chen's fatal blow, his body flying backward like a kite with a broken string, smashing heavily on the ground, life or death unknown.

Ji Chen stood proudly, like a god of war descending, looking down at the world.

Everything around returned to calm, only dazzling light shining on them.

Ji Chen and Ceng Yue hugged tightly, their eyes full of joy and excitement.

They defeated the powerful enemy and became the true powerhouses of this mysterious ruin.

At this moment, their glory reached its peak.

Ceng Yue gently stroked Ji Chen's face, softly saying: "Chen, we..." ===== CHAPTER 269 =====
