Chapter 64: New Enemy

Above the city, the cheers were like a tsunami, wave after wave, deafening.

Ji Chen and Ceng Yue stood side by side, like two brilliant stars, bathed in the radiance of everyone's attention.

The Ability Users around them looked up at their figures like devout believers.

"Brother Chen! Sister Yue! You are simply the eternal gods!"

"Too strong! Truly the man and woman standing at the pinnacle of the Supernatural World!"

Praise and cheers surged like a tide. A faint smile appeared on Ji Chen's face. He looked around, and wherever his gaze fell, there were eyes of worship and awe. This feeling made him feel a bit carried away.

But the next second, he immediately restrained his smile, his brows furrowed slightly, and a feeling of unease welled up deep in his heart.

Ceng Yue remained as cold as frost, but the way she tightly gripped Ji Chen's hand revealed a hint of imperceptible tension. Being sharp, she also sensed the uneasy aura in the air.

"Something's wrong!" Ceng Yue's voice remained cold, but carried a hint of alertness.

Ji Chen nodded; he took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down.

The joy of victory had not yet dissipated, but the atmosphere all around seemed to have undergone a subtle change.

The crowd's cheers seemed to start mixing with some discordant sounds, as if certain factions were surging in the dark.

"Indeed, an ill-intentioned aura is approaching." Ji Chen scanned the surroundings with a sharp gaze. He could clearly feel powerful Ability fluctuations approaching from all directions, like wild beasts lurking in the shadows, ready to bare their fangs at any moment.

"It seems someone can't sit still anymore and wants to come and pick the peaches while we haven't yet gained a firm foothold." A cold sneer curled the corners of Ji Chen's mouth.

"Then let them see if we are truly easy to bully!" Ceng Yue's voice carried a hint of killing intent. A sharp chill radiated from her body, making people shudder.

Following the dialogue between Ji Chen and Ceng Yue, the surrounding air seemed to freeze. The cheers gradually faded, replaced by a stifling atmosphere.

Those factions that had originally been hiding in the dark stopped pretending. They surged forward like a tide, and the powerful Ability fluctuations made the entire space tremble.

"Want to snatch our position? Then come and try!" Ji Chen pulled Ceng Yue into his arms, and they looked at each other.

Just then, a familiar figure walked out from the crowd. His expression was gloomy, and his tone carried a hint of disbelief, "Ji Chen, Ceng Yue, I didn't expect you to actually reach this step..." That familiar figure was their former partner who had fought side-by-side with them—Li Ming.

His eyes were complex, carrying a hint of unwillingness and jealousy, as he slowly said: "Your rise has blocked too many people's paths, including mine!"

As soon as Li Ming's voice fell, whispers arose in the crowd, and questioning voices spread like poisonous snakes.

"That's right, they are too strong and have broken the original balance." "Who knows if they used some disgraceful methods?" "I think they just had dumb luck!" These voices pierced into the hearts of Ji Chen and Ceng Yue like sharp swords, making them feel a chill.

Ceng Yue scanned the surroundings coldly, the chill in her eyes intensifying. "Fair-weather friends, falling wherever the wind blows." She tightly gripped Ji Chen's hand; a chill came from her palm, but it also brought a hint of comfort.

Ji Chen felt Ceng Yue's coldness and unease. He took a deep breath, his gaze like a torch. "Since that's the case, then let those clowns see what true strength is!"

Ji Chen suddenly released a powerful Ability fluctuation. Golden light, as dazzling as the sun, instantly enveloped the entire city.

Those small factions that had originally been restless felt this terrifying pressure and were instantly like being doused with a basin of cold water; they looked terrified and retreated one after another.

They felt as if their throats were being gripped by an invisible giant hand, and the feeling of suffocation made them unable to breathe.

"This... this... too strong!"

"His strength is simply unfathomable!"

"We... we should still retreat!"

Those questioning voices disappeared instantly, replaced by a deathly silence.

Ji Chen's strength was like the descent of a deity, shocking everyone with ill intentions.

His prestige spread throughout the Supernatural World once again, becoming an unshakable existence.

Ji Chen withdrew his Ability and looked around coldly. Those small factions that had been shocked by him were trembling like quails.

A sneer of disdain curled his lips, and he said to Ceng Yue: "It seems this world still relies on fists to speak!"

Ceng Yue remained expressionless, but a hint of appreciation flashed in the depths of her eyes.

Just then, a low voice came from the crowd, "Hehe, what a great display of power! However, in my opinion, your strength is nothing more than this."

Ji Chen and Ceng Yue turned their heads at the same time, only to see a burly middle-aged man exuding powerful pressure slowly walk out.

"You..." the middle-aged man spoke slowly, his voice like thunder, "Let me test your quality!"

Ji Chen and Ceng Yue stood side by side, their bodies exuding powerful Ability fluctuations, like two unshakable mountains.

In the crowd, that middle-aged man slowly walked out, his body exuding a sense of oppression.

"Hmph, Ji Chen, Ceng Yue, you are just lucky!" The middle-aged man's voice was like thunder, shaking the surrounding air. He waved his hand, and powerful Ability fluctuations instantly attacked like a deluge. The surrounding buildings were shaken to the point of teetering in an instant.

Ji Chen sneered, his gaze like a torch. "Stop the nonsense, come and try, and you'll know your own limits!" He threw a punch, the golden light as dazzling as the scorching sun, colliding with the middle-aged man's Ability fluctuations, emitting a deafening roar.

The surrounding Ability Users retreated one after another, looking at this earth-shattering duel with fear.

Ceng Yue did not want to be outdone. A sharp chill radiated from her body, and the Ice Blade in her hand was like a sharp sword, cutting through the air, carrying a bone-chilling cold wind, straight for the middle-aged man's throat.

The battle was like a storm; both sides went back and forth, and the Ability fluctuations twisted the surrounding space like an illusion.

Buildings collapsed one after another in the clash between the two sides, huge cracks appeared on the ground, and the air was filled with a pungent burnt smell and icy coldness.

However, just as the battle entered the white-hot stage, Ceng Yue was accidentally hit by a hidden force from the middle-aged man. Her body flew backward like a kite with a broken string, falling heavily to the ground.

A trace of blood spilled from the corner of her mouth.

Seeing this scene, Ji Chen was frantic with worry. He flew toward Ceng Yue, holding her tightly, his eyes full of concern.

The surrounding air was filled with a tense atmosphere. The veins on Ji Chen's forehead bulged, he gritted his teeth, and his heart was burning with anger.

"Ceng Yue, are you okay?" Ji Chen's voice carried a hint of trembling. His hands gently brushed over Ceng Yue's wound, and the icy power quickly dissipated, stopping the bleeding for her.

Ceng Yue opened her eyes slightly. She tightly gripped Ji Chen's hand, and both of their eyes were filled with an unyielding will.

Ji Chen felt Ceng Yue's determination, and his eyes instantly became cold and firm.

He took a deep breath, and the Ability fluctuations all over his body rose sharply. The golden light burned like flames, wrapping his body until it was as dazzling as the sun.

He let out a loud shout and threw a punch. The powerful Ability fluctuation turned into a golden beam of light, rushing straight toward the middle-aged man.

Seeing this, the middle-aged man's expression changed drastically. He hurriedly waved his arms to form layers of defensive walls, but in front of Ji Chen's unparalleled power, these defensive walls were as fragile as paper, being shattered instantly.

He was sent flying by the powerful impact, falling heavily to the ground, vomiting a mouthful of blood.

The surrounding crowd was stunned by Ji Chen's blow, and the Supernatural World was once again conquered by their strength.

Ji Chen stood beside Ceng Yue, his eyes full of firmness. He gently helped Ceng Yue up, and their figures appeared exceptionally firm in the sky full of dust.

Ji Chen looked around coldly, his voice like cold ice. "Now, who else wants to come and challenge us?"

There was silence in the crowd; everyone was shocked by his strength, and no one dared to speak again.

However, just then, a low sneer came from afar, and a figure slowly walked out from the darkness, causing a commotion in the crowd.

"Hmph, Ji Chen, Ceng Yue, your challenge has only just begun..." ===== CHAPTER 65 =====
