Chapter 51: Energy Vortex

Ji Chen and Ceng Yue stood before the source of the conspiracy, the air seemingly solidifying into substance, pressing down so hard it was hard to breathe.

The two looked solemn, like the sea before a storm, with surging waves beneath the calm.

They knew this was the final battlefield; either they completely shattered this conspiracy, or they would be devoured by the darkness.

Everything before them was far darker and more shocking than they had imagined.

A massive energy vortex rotated slowly in the space, radiating a heart-palpitating evil aura, like a bottomless black hole, greedily devouring all light in the surroundings.

Ji Chen and Ceng Yue simultaneously felt an inexplicable pressure, as if countless invisible hands were tearing at their souls, leaving them with a deep sense of powerlessness.

This force far exceeded any enemy they had encountered in the past.

Fine beads of sweat seeped from Ji Chen's forehead; he clenched his fists tightly, his knuckles emitting a clacking sound, forcing himself to calm down.

A hint of hesitation flashed in Ceng Yue's eyes, but it was immediately replaced by firmness.

On her cold-as-ice face, a rare trace of determination emerged.

"What on earth is this ghost thing behind all this?" Ji Chen couldn't help but whisper, his voice carrying a hint of trembling, but more of anger.

"Don't care what it is, it must be completely eradicated today!" Ceng Yue's tone remained cold, but it contained an unquestionable firmness.

The two looked at each other, their hearts in sync.

They knew that retreating now meant complete failure.

Even if there were a mountain of blades and a sea of fire in front of them, they would have to charge through without looking back.

They had to break this conspiracy, for this city, and for themselves, fighting until the very last moment!

"Just do it!" Ji Chen roared, his voice like thunder, echoing throughout the entire space.

He charged forward first, like an arrow off a string, carrying an unstoppable momentum.

Ceng Yue followed closely behind, her figure moving like a ghost, weaving through the shadows, like the embodiment of death, ready at any moment to reap the lives of the enemies.

"Hehe, a mantis trying to stop a chariot!" A voice full of mockery came from deep within the energy vortex, accompanied by a harsh screech that made one's scalp tingle.

"Boom!"

Suddenly, a black energy beam shot out from the vortex, like the scythe of the god of death, carrying the power to destroy everything, heading straight for Ji Chen and Ceng Yue.

"Careful!" Ji Chen shouted, pulling Ceng Yue away and barely dodging this fatal blow.

However, this was only the beginning.

The black energy beam poured down like a fierce storm; Ji Chen and Ceng Yue dodged left and right, yet were still shaken by the aftermath of the explosions, their blood surging.

"This thing is cheating!" Ji Chen wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, unable to help but complain.

Ceng Yue's situation was no better; her face was pale, her breath chaotic, but the flames of refusal to admit defeat still burned in her eyes.

The surrounding space was distorted and deformed by the energy impacts, buildings collapsed, and the earth cracked, as if the end of the world had arrived.

"My supernatural energy is almost exhausted..." Ceng Yue's voice was a bit weak; this was the first time Ji Chen had heard her show weakness.

"Hold on!" Ji Chen gritted his teeth, using all his remaining supernatural energy for defense.

He knew that if they fell now, they would never have a chance to stand up again.

The evil energy vortex emitted a hair-raising screech, as if mocking their overestimation of their own abilities.

A sense of despair spread in the hearts of the two.

Just at this critical moment, Ji Chen felt a powerful suction force surge from within his body, and the violent energy in the surroundings poured into his body like a hundred rivers returning to the sea.

This feeling was unprecedented; he felt his power growing crazily, as if breaking through some kind of limit.

"This... what is going on?" Ji Chen was surprised, but he had no time to think, because he felt that the supernatural energy within his body had reached an unprecedented peak state.

He felt like an energy ball about to explode, filled with destructive power.

"Boom!" Ji Chen's body erupted with a dazzling light, like a rising sun, illuminating the entire dark space.

He felt filled with power, as if he could control everything.

He charged toward the energy vortex, his speed so fast it was hard for the naked eye to capture, leaving only a golden afterimage.

"Brother Chen is going to defy the heavens!" Ceng Yue, hiding behind the ruins, watched Ji Chen's figure, which looked like a god descending to earth, and couldn't help but exclaim.

She felt the powerful aura radiating from Ji Chen, and a strange feeling actually surged in her heart.

The energy vortex seemed to sense the threat, emitting an even sharper screech, and the black energy surged toward Ji Chen like a tide, attempting to devour him.

However, Ji Chen was fearless; he swung his fists, shattering the black energy like dry wood, unstoppable.

"Is that it?" Ji Chen sneered, approaching the energy vortex step by step, each step feeling as if he were stepping on the enemy's heart.

"You... what kind of monster are you?" A terrified voice came from deep within the energy vortex.

"Monster? Hehe..." Ji Chen's lips curled into an evil smile. "Next, let me show you what true power is!" He raised his fist high, and the dazzling light erupted once more...

"Wait!" Ceng Yue's shout was particularly abrupt in the energy turbulence; Ji Chen's movements paused, and he looked at her in confusion.

At this life-and-death moment, why was she calling for a stop?

To deliver her head?

"Brother Chen, don't you think this thing... looks a bit familiar?" Ceng Yue pointed to the center of the energy vortex, that twisted and deformed black energy mass, frowning slightly.

Ji Chen narrowed his eyes and looked carefully. Holy crap, it really did!

Why did this thing look more and more like the mutated hamster he had picked up next to a trash can last time?

At the time, the little thing was on its last breath, and after he saved it with his supernatural energy, it ran off; he never expected it to be causing trouble here!

"No way, no way? No one is actually going to be defeated by a hamster, right?" Ji Chen felt his face sting a bit; if this got out, how could he still mix in the Supernatural World?

"Stop talking nonsense, let's finish it off first!" Ceng Yue glanced at him coldly, but her hands didn't stop, an ice-blue energy light blade slashing straight at the center of the vortex.

Ji Chen also reacted; now wasn't the time to complain, grab the gear and just do it!

The golden energy and the ice-blue energy intertwined, like two giant dragons, roaring as they charged toward the energy vortex.

"Squeak, squeak, squeak!" A sharp cry came from the vortex, and the black energy became even more violent, crazily counterattacking.

In an instant, the entire world was shrouded in light; the shockwave generated by the energy collision swept through everything, and the surrounding buildings were instantly reduced to powder.

The Ability Users watching from afar were all dumbfounded; this battle scene was too exciting, even more shocking than a Hollywood blockbuster!

The battle entered a white-hot stage; Ji Chen and Ceng Yue stood back-to-back, coordinating tacitly, their attacks becoming increasingly fierce, and the energy vortex becoming increasingly unstable, as if it could collapse at any moment.

Suddenly, their eyes met; this look was more powerful than any words, giving them extra assistance.

The surrounding air seemed to be filled with pink bubbles; this damn love!

"Brother Chen, let's do it together!"

"Good!"

The two simultaneously released their strongest attacks, the golden light and the ice-blue light fusing together to form a massive energy beam that shot straight into the clouds!

With a loud bang, the energy vortex finally collapsed, the black energy dissipated, and the world returned to peace.

Ji Chen and Ceng Yue stood side by side in the ruins, bathed in the radiance of victory.

The surrounding Ability Users erupted in thunderous cheers; their names would be remembered forever, becoming legends!

However, just then, Ceng Yue's expression suddenly changed, and she grabbed Ji Chen's hand, saying urgently: "Brother Chen, look..." ===== CHAPTER 52 =====
