Chapter 42: Crisis Resolved

Ji Chen and Ceng Yue stood before the huge Stone Gate, carved with complex runes, emitting eerie light.

The scene before them made both fall into silence; the air seemed to have frozen, and the tense atmosphere made one feel suffocated like a pressure cooker.

"So... the crisis of the Supernatural World is actually..." Ji Chen's pupils contracted suddenly, muttering in a low voice, his voice almost swallowed by the surrounding silence.

Ceng Yue's eyes also became exceptionally solemn; her fingers brushed lightly over the runes on the Stone Gate, as if looking for some clue.

"This power... is stronger than imaginable." Ceng Yue's voice was low and powerful, a hint of unease flickering in her eyes.

Ji Chen nodded.

"We must find a way to solve it." Ji Chen's voice was steady and firm, as if cheering himself up.

He closed his eyes, concentrating on feeling everything around him.

The light of the runes seemed to become brighter, as if responding to his call.

"Looks like this power is not just ordinary evil." Ceng Yue said, her voice carrying a hint of anxiety that was hard to detect.

Ji Chen nodded, the two looked at each other, trust and determination passing in their eyes.

"We cannot let this power continue to spread." Ji Chen clenched his fists, flames jumping faintly in his palms, as if providing him with strength.

Ceng Yue took a light breath, chill condensing around her body, forming a layer of faint frost.

"Are you ready?" Ji Chen asked, his voice carrying a hint of unquestionable firmness.

Ceng Yue nodded slightly, her gaze full of determination.

"Everything depends on you." Ceng Yue's voice was calm, but Ji Chen could feel the determination in her heart.

The two approached the Stone Gate slowly, the light of the runes becoming more dazzling, as if telling them that the road ahead would not be smooth sailing.

Just as they were about to push open the Stone Gate, a powerful sense of oppression suddenly attacked, as if the entire world were shaking.

Ji Chen and Ceng Yue heard an ancient and cold voice in their ears:

"You... actually dare to try to challenge our limits..."

Ji Chen and Ceng Yue looked at each other.

"Come on, we won't retreat." Ji Chen gritted his teeth and said firmly.

Both hands pressed on the Stone Gate simultaneously, pushing hard, and the Stone Gate opened slowly; a powerful energy surged out instantly, shrouding the two within it.

"No matter how difficult the road ahead is, we must walk it." Ji Chen's voice was firm and powerful; Ceng Yue nodded, and the two moved forward side-by-side, welcoming unknown challenges.

The moment the Stone Gate opened completely, a terrifying evil aura attacked like a tsunami, instantly eroding their will.

Ji Chen felt various terrifying scenes appear in his mind, his body trembling involuntarily.

Ceng Yue's brows were locked; she could also feel the oppression of this evil power, but her gaze remained firm.

"Can't give up!" Ji Chen shouted in his heart; he felt his Golden Finger seemed to have been activated, and a powerful energy surged from within his body, rapidly absorbing the energy in the surrounding fissure.

His body gradually emitted dazzling light.

Ceng Yue felt the change in Ji Chen, and hope ignited in her heart.

She took a deep breath, and the chill all over her body became even more condensed, as if wanting to freeze the surrounding evil aura.

The two's minds were connected, passing firm beliefs to each other.

"Prepare..." Just then, the space around Ji Chen and Ceng Yue suddenly twisted, and a huge shadow appeared before them, as if wanting to swallow everything.

"The final showdown has begun!" Ji Chen roared, the surging energy within his body erupting instantly; his fists turned into flames, swinging toward that shadow.

Ceng Yue followed closely behind, the chill turning into ice blades, slashing toward the Evil Shadow together.

The two's attacks intertwined in the air, emitting a deafening roar, and the entire space seemed to freeze at this moment.

"Holy crap, this evil aura is so thick it's almost substance!" Various terrifying scenes ran wild in Ji Chen's mind, his body trembling involuntarily; this feeling was like watching a horror movie and suddenly being scared, almost dying on the spot.

Ceng Yue's brows were locked, the chill biting; although there was a sense of oppression, her gaze remained as firm as a rock, "Mere evil aura, also wants to shake this Queen?"

"Can't give up!" Ji Chen roared in his heart; this was the key battle for him to reach the pinnacle of his life!

He felt his Golden Finger seemed to have turned on hacks, and a powerful energy sprayed out from his body, like a super-large-power vacuum cleaner, crazily absorbing the surrounding evil aura.

His body instantly shone like a small sun, his eyes domineering, "I'm going to counter-kill!"

Ceng Yue felt the explosive power on Ji Chen, the corners of her mouth lifting slightly, "Man, interesting!" She took a deep breath, the chill condensed again, and the air seemed about to be frozen, "Freeze Evil!" The two's minds were connected, a look between them, "Understood!".

"Prepare..." Ji Chen's eyes carried a hint of determination, and he and Ceng Yue stepped forward simultaneously, like two war gods.

"Come, let you see what it means to combine swords!" Just then, the space around them seemed to be torn apart, and a huge shadow appeared before them, baring fangs and brandishing claws, as if wanting to swallow everything.

"The final showdown has begun!" Ji Chen roared, the energy like a volcanic eruption spraying out; his fists were wrapped in flames, carrying an unstoppable momentum, smashing fiercely toward that shadow.

"Eat my Flame Impact!" Ceng Yue followed closely behind, the chill condensing into countless ice blades, slashing toward the Evil Shadow like a rainstorm, "Taste my Ice Blade Storm!" The two's attacks intertwined in the air, emitting a deafening roar, "Boom!" The entire space seemed to be shaking, the energy storm sweeping everything like the end of the world, "This power is simply explosive!"

The battle intensified, Ji Chen and Ceng Yue's cooperation became increasingly tacit, every attack precise, carrying the determination to destroy all evil; their attacks were like flowing water, "Beat you until you howl!" The Evil Shadow retreated steadily under their offensive, the surrounding space collapsing and rebuilding, "This is the true technical flow!"

In the white-hot stage of the battle, their gazes met, the love and trust in each other's eyes burning like raging fire, "With you here, I have nothing to fear." This powerful emotion actually turned into substantial power, injecting into their bodies, "The power of love, invincible!" They cooperated even more closely, every movement seeming to have undergone precise calculation, "Perfect cooperation!"

Finally, Ji Chen and Ceng Yue's energy erupted completely, "Final strike, end this farce!" The ultimate attack they issued together directly tore the Evil Shadow into fragments.

The entire space returned to calm, the sunlight shone down again, and the crisis of the Supernatural World was completely resolved.

"We... won?" Ceng Yue said calmly, the corner of her eye seeing Ji Chen wiping the sweat from his forehead.

"Yeah, won." The corners of Ji Chen's mouth lifted slightly, revealing a brilliant smile; he looked toward Ceng Yue, his eyes full of tenderness, "Next..." ===== CHAPTER 43 =====
