Chapter 45: Peak Confrontation

Night fell, and a thick smell of blood permeated the air.

Ji Chen and Ceng Yue stood back-to-back, watching the surroundings vigilantly.

The surroundings were dead silent, even the wind holding its breath, only their rapid heartbeats echoing in their ears.

"It's coming!" Ji Chen let out a low drink and raised his head violently.

Only in the night sky, streaks of colorful light beams fell like meteors, carrying earth-shattering momentum, heading straight for them.

"Holy crap, this formation!" Ji Chen couldn't help but curse.

The power of this supernatural ability combination attack was simply stronger than all the enemies he had encountered before!

"Humph, small tricks!" Ceng Yue snorted coldly, light flashing in her hand, and a huge Energy Shield instantly opened, protecting the two firmly within it.

"Bang, bang, bang!" The light beams hit the shield, emitting deafening explosions, and the entire ground shook violently.

The shield shook violently, the light gradually dimming, looking like it couldn't hold on.

"Hold on!" Ji Chen roared, injecting his supernatural energy into the shield continuously.

He felt his body was about to be hollowed out, but his eyes were incomparably firm.

Suddenly, the shield shattered violently, and the powerful impact sent the two flying.

Ji Chen groaned, only feeling his internal organs displaced, a sweetness in his throat, and a mouthful of blood sprayed out.

"Chen!" Ceng Yue helped him up anxiously, "Are you okay?"

Ji Chen wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and grinned: "Still okay, won't die. It's just that this attack is a bit outrageous, stronger than all the supernatural abilities I've seen."

"Looks like they want us dead." Ceng Yue flashed a cold light in her eyes, her tone cold and biting, "Then let's see who dies first!"

Suddenly, a cold laugh came from all directions: "Hehe, what a touching love. It's just a pity, today you both are going to die here!"

With the laughter, a figure wearing a black robe, whose face could not be seen, walked slowly out of the darkness.

Every step he took, the surrounding air seemed to have frozen, and a powerful pressure rushed toward them, making one suffocated.

"Who exactly are you?" Ji Chen asked in a deep voice.

The Black-robed Man sneered, slowly raising his hand, revealing a palm as dry as firewood: "Who I am is not important; what's important is, you will soon know the taste of death..."

"Hehe, just by you?" Ceng Yue sneered, light shining in her hand again, "This old lady will let you know today why flowers are so red!"

"Wait a minute," Ji Chen suddenly spoke, a strange light flickering in his eyes, "I think..."

"I think... it's time to show the true technique!" Ji Chen curled his mouth into an evil, charming smile, sharp light flashing in his eyes.

Just as the Black-robed Man's attack was about to fall, a strange energy surged wildly within his body, like a hungry beast, greedily devouring the surrounding raging supernatural energy.

The Black-robed Man's earth-shattering strike, like a clay ox entering the sea, actually disappeared by more than half strangely!

Ji Chen's body bathed in the torrent of energy, the originally somewhat exhausted aura swept away, replaced by a sense of explosive power!

"Holy crap, what's the situation?!" The Black-robed Man widened his eyes in terror, as if he had seen a ghost.

He clearly felt his attack being absorbed by an invisible force, and this force was still growing continuously!

Ji Chen clenched his fists, feeling the surging power in his body, and let out a long roar toward the sky: "Come on, let me see what other moves you have!" He rushed toward the Black-robed Man like an arrow leaving the bow, his speed so fast that the naked eye could hardly capture it.

"Bang!" With a loud bang, Ji Chen's fist smashed fiercely into the Black-robed Man's chest, the huge force knocking him flying, falling heavily to the ground, vomiting blood.

"How is it possible... your power..." The Black-robed Man looked at Ji Chen in disbelief.

"Hehe, this has only just begun!" Ji Chen sneered and rushed toward the Black-robed Man again.

Ceng Yue was not idle either; the energy light in her hand flickered, like a dance of death, every swing bringing away a streak of afterimages, knocking down the surrounding Black-clothed People one by one.

"Boom, boom, boom!"

Both sides' attacks reached the limit, the light produced by the energy collision illuminating the entire Supernatural World, and the surrounding Ability Users were shocked by the intensity of this battle, stopping to watch one after another.

"This... this is too strong!"

"Is this the peak confrontation? Simply too terrifying!"

The battle entered the white-hot stage, Ji Chen and Ceng Yue like two war gods, raging in the enemy crowd, invincible.

The subordinates brought by the Black-robed Man were harvested like wheat, falling to the ground one by one, wailing endlessly.

"Damn it! You ants!" The Black-robed Man roared in anger; he never expected that his carefully planned scheme would be completely destroyed by two young people!

"It's over!" Ji Chen's figure appeared behind the Black-robed Man like a ghost, the energy in his hand condensing into a sharp long sword, pointing straight at his heart.

"Wait..." The Black-robed Man turned his head in terror, his eyes full of despair...

"Wait! I..." Before the Black-robed Man could finish speaking, the energy sword in Ji Chen's hand had already pierced his heart.

The Black-robed Man let out a shrill scream, his body falling slowly, turning into a cloud of black mist and dissipating in the air.

"Phew..." Ji Chen breathed a long sigh of relief, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and turned to look at Ceng Yue,"

A hint of tenderness also flashed in Ceng Yue's eyes, and she nodded lightly.

The two smiled at each other, fingers intertwined, as if only they remained in the world.

The surrounding Ability Users erupted into thunderous cheers, lifting Ji Chen and Ceng Yue high, cheering their names.

"Ji Chen! Ceng Yue! You are our heroes!"

"Too amazing! Simply like a god-like existence!"

"Sob, sob, sob, I've fallen in love with this couple! Too sweet!"

Amidst the cheers of the crowd, Ji Chen and Ceng Yue hugged tightly; their love was indestructible at this moment, this emotion giving them extra strength, thick love permeating the surroundings, sweet to the point of being pungent.

They relied on each other, supported each other, and became each other's spiritual pillar.

Ji Chen and Ceng Yue stood at the pinnacle of victory, accepting the cheers and worship of the entire Supernatural World; their names became a legend of the Supernatural World, praised by countless people.

They immersed themselves in the huge joy, enjoying the hard-won fruits of victory.

However, just in this joy of victory, Ji Chen suddenly felt a new supernatural fluctuation; this fluctuation was exceptionally powerful, yet strange, as if coming from another world.

"This... what is this?" He muttered to himself, his expression becoming puzzled.

"What's wrong?" Ceng Yue noticed Ji Chen's abnormality and asked with concern.

Ji Chen didn't answer; he looked in the direction of the supernatural fluctuation,

"I feel... something is about to come..." Ji Chen paused, his tone solemn. ===== CHAPTER 46 =====
