Chapter 60: The Duel

The enemy leader grinned hideously, his weapon glowing brightly, and a powerful energy fluctuation never seen before spread out, the surrounding air seemingly distorting.

Ji Chen and Ceng Yue stood ready, the supernatural light on their bodies also strengthening, like two dazzling stars shining in the darkness.

"Hehe, feel my 'Annihilation'!" The enemy leader laughed arrogantly, his weapon swinging down fiercely, a black energy beam shooting toward Ji Chen like lightning.

Ji Chen's eyes narrowed, his feet exerting force, his body dodging the attack like an arrow off a string.

The black beam flew past his body, leaving a deep trench on the ground, and the surrounding buildings were also shattered by this powerful energy.

"That was close!" Ji Chen thought to himself; the power of this energy far exceeded his imagination.

Ceng Yue also felt this powerful pressure, her long sword dancing even more swiftly, sword qi like silver snakes shooting toward the enemy leader, attempting to interfere with his attack.

However, the enemy leader's "Annihilation" supernatural ability seemed to ignore these attacks, black energy beams shooting out continuously, destroying everything in the surroundings.

Ji Chen and Ceng Yue could only dodge continuously, their bodies swaying in the repeated impacts, and their supernatural energy being consumed rapidly.

"Can't go on like this!" Ji Chen felt extremely anxious; their supernatural energy was nearly bottomed out, and if they couldn't find a way to break "Annihilation," they would only have a dead end.

"Yue, cover me!" Ji Chen suddenly shouted.

Ceng Yue understood, her long sword dancing in sword flowers, blocking all the enemy leader's attacks.

"Chen, be careful!"

Ji Chen took a deep breath, gathering all his remaining supernatural energy together, his body radiating a dazzling white light.

He was going to gamble everything!

"Annihilation? I want to see if your Annihilation is powerful, or if my Devour is better!" Ji Chen roared, charging toward the enemy leader...

Ji Chen was like an arrow off a string, charging toward the enemy leader with a resolute roar.

However, at this moment, both were at the end of their rope, the supernatural energy in their bodies nearly squeezed dry, even breathing becoming incomparably difficult.

Every dodge felt like using up all their strength, sweat soaking their clothes, sticking to their bodies, extremely uncomfortable.

"Can't... am I going to die?" Ji Chen gritted his teeth, every muscle in his body screaming, every dodge accompanied by the creaking of bones, his vision beginning to blur, the surrounding darkness surging like a tide, as if about to devour them completely.

The aura of despair shrouded the two, the dawn of victory seemingly out of reach.

Suddenly, Ji Chen felt a strange power surge into his body, his exhausted body seemingly injected with a shot of adrenaline.

He felt the energy wandering in the surrounding air crazily pouring into his body, and the originally dry energy pool was instantly filled.

He was surprised to find his supernatural ability growing rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye, and his originally blurred vision becoming clear again.

"This... is this?" Ji Chen was filled with doubt, but he had no time to delve into it at this moment; he understood this was his only chance to turn the tables!

The white light on his body grew increasingly intense, as dazzling as the sun, and this suddenly erupted powerful force made the surrounding air begin to tremble.

Ji Chen's aura was like a sleeping lion waking up, carrying an unstoppable dominance, charging toward the enemy leader again.

The enemy leader's wild laughter stopped abruptly, replaced by unbelievable terror.

He had never seen such powerful force, and the pressure brought by that white light made him feel unprecedented suffocation.

"Impossible! How is this possible!" The enemy leader's face was filled with fear, and he began to wave his weapon frantically, attempting to stop Ji Chen's approach.

But at this moment, his attacks were like paper in front of Ji Chen, posing no threat.

Ji Chen's speed reached the limit; he flashed past the enemy's attacks like a ghost, carrying unprecedented power, and threw a punch at the enemy leader's chest.

"Hehe, the game... has just begun!" Ji Chen's lips curled slightly.

Ji Chen's fist, wrapped in violent energy, slammed heavily into the enemy leader's chest.

With a muffled sound, the enemy leader flew backward like a kite with a broken string, slamming heavily onto the ground and spitting out a mouthful of blood.

"Yue, let's go together!" Ji Chen didn't pause in the slightest, turning to say to Ceng Yue.

Ceng Yue nodded, and the two jumped up simultaneously, charging toward the enemy leader like two bolts of lightning.

Their attacks poured down like a fierce storm, every strike containing the power to destroy heaven and earth.

The enemy leader struggled to block the two's attacks, his face growing increasingly pale, and the wounds on his body increasing.

"Impossible! How could you be so strong!" he roared.

The two's attacks collided in mid-air, erupting with dazzling light, the surrounding space beginning to collapse, and a powerful energy storm sweeping everything away.

Explosions, cracking sounds, and roars intertwined, forming a scene like the end of the world.

At the most intense moment of the battle, Ji Chen and Ceng Yue's eyes met.

There was no fear in their eyes, no hesitation, only firmness and trust.

They understood each other; the other was their most solid backing, and no matter what kind of enemy they faced, they could fight side by side, never giving up.

A powerful force surged from their bodies; it was the power of love, the power of trust, the power of tacit understanding.

This force connected them tightly, making them even more powerful.

"Chen, let's end this together!" Ceng Yue's voice rang in Ji Chen's ears, her cold tone carrying a hint of tenderness.

"Good!" Ji Chen gripped Ceng Yue's hand tightly, their supernatural abilities fusing together to form an even more powerful force.

"Annihilate!" The two roared simultaneously, gathering all their power together and launching the final attack toward the enemy leader.

A dazzling light flashed, and the enemy leader's figure disappeared completely from heaven and earth.

The world returned to peace, with only faint energy fluctuations permeating the air.

Ji Chen and Ceng Yue stood together, looking at everything before them, faint smiles appearing on their faces.

"It's over..." Ji Chen said softly, his hand holding Ceng Yue's tightening unconsciously.

Ceng Yue gripped Ji Chen's hand back, her lips curling slightly. "Yeah... it's over." She paused, her eyes looking into the distance. "However..." ===== CHAPTER 61 =====
