Chapter 65: The Brave Breaks the Situation

That low sneer was like a fuse, instantly igniting the restlessness hidden in the crowd.

Ji Chen and Ceng Yue stood side by side, feeling the tense atmosphere permeating the surrounding air. Both of them understood in their hearts that the real challenge had only just begun.

Originally, they thought that defeating an arrogant faction would be enough to shock those restless guys, but now it seemed they were still too naive.

The internal strife in the Supernatural World was like Pandora's box being opened; various factions were like wild horses off the leash, crashing everywhere, with the flames of war flying.

Looking around, the originally prosperous city was now filled with smoke, and the high-rise buildings had become dilapidated under the impact of Supernatural Abilities, like old people who had weathered many storms.

The air was filled with a pungent burnt smell and the stench of blood, which was nauseating.

Ji Chen's brows were tightly locked. He could feel the restless energy fluctuations in the air, which were more intense than at any time before.

He clenched his fists, his nails almost piercing his palms, his heart filled with helplessness.

"This cannot go on." Ji Chen's voice was low and powerful, carrying a hint of imperceptible anger.

He turned his head to look at Ceng Yue beside him. The latter remained as cold as frost, but a hint of worry flashed in her eyes.

The two were of one mind and needed no more words; they knew they had to do something to quell this meaningless internal strife.

They began to take action, shuttling between the ruins of the city, looking for the root of this internal strife.

After some investigation, Ji Chen and Ceng Yue gradually discovered that those manipulating all of this in the dark were actually some Ancient Ability Families.

These families had a long history and immense power. They were unwilling to be marginalized in the new Ability era, so they fanned the flames in the dark, wanting to regain dominance.

The moment they learned the truth, a raging fire ignited in Ji Chen's eyes. These guys, for their own selfish desires, were actually willing to drag the entire Supernatural World into the abyss.

He clenched his fists tightly, swearing to fight these families to the end and never let them succeed.

"They are playing with fire!" Ji Chen gritted his teeth, his eyes as sharp as a leopard's. He had already made up his mind and would never let the conspiracies of these families succeed.

Ceng Yue stood by his side, her cold lips curling slightly, revealing an imperceptible sneer.

She looked at the city before her, her eyes carrying a hint of inquiry, as if she were thinking about something.

Suddenly, her gaze locked onto a direction, where some unusual aura seemed to be hidden.

"Over there, it's strange." Ceng Yue's voice remained cold, but carried a hint of imperceptible tension. Her words were like a stabilizer, causing Ji Chen's heart to tremble.

"Be careful." Ji Chen instructed, a feeling of unease welling up in his heart, like the calm before a storm.

Ceng Yue did not respond, just nodded slightly, her figure flashing and disappearing into the night, leaving Ji Chen standing alone, his heart filled with worry.

He did not know what kind of trap Ceng Yue would face.

Ceng Yue's figure shuttled through the intricate alleys like a ghost. The air was filled with an eerie silence, making her feel a hint of unease.

Suddenly, the ground beneath her feet sank, and before she could react, she fell into a bottomless trap.

"Damn it!" Ceng Yue cursed in a low voice, her body falling rapidly, the sound of wind whistling in her ears.

The bottom of the trap was pitch black, unable to see one's fingers, as if it were the mouth of an abyss, wanting to swallow her.

"Ji Chen..." Ceng Yue's voice echoed in the trap, carrying a hint of despair and helplessness.

All around were cold stone walls, with no response, only her faint breathing echoing in the darkness.

The sound of mechanisms activating rang out in the trap, and sharp blades extended from all directions, flashing with cold light, like the scythe of the Grim Reaper, wanting to harvest her life.

Ceng Yue closed her eyes in despair. Was she going to lose her life here today?

Just at this critical moment, a figure descended from the sky, like a god, holding Ceng Yue tightly in his arms.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here." Ji Chen's voice was low and powerful, like a thunderclap exploding in the trap.

The blades flew past Ji Chen's body but could not hurt him at all.

He held Ceng Yue, his body as light as a swallow, moving and dodging in the trap, as if taking a leisurely stroll.

With a loud "Boom!", Ji Chen shattered the wall of the trap with one punch, flew out holding Ceng Yue, and landed steadily on the ground.

"Are you okay?" Ji Chen asked with concern, looking at Ceng Yue's pale face, his heart filled with heartache.

Ceng Yue shook her head, looking at Ji Chen, "You really are my hero."

Ji Chen smiled slightly, ruffling Ceng Yue's hair, "Silly, what are you saying."

Suddenly, a powerful aura came from afar, Ji Chen's expression changed, and his eyes instantly became sharp.

"It seems the real master has arrived."

"Yo, is this delivering yourself to be abused?" An insidious voice came from the darkness, and immediately after, several figures appeared like ghosts. They exuded a suffocating sense of oppression, clearly top experts from the Ancient Families.

Ji Chen protected Ceng Yue behind him, his eyes like unsheathed sharp swords, looking straight at the enemy before him.

The air was filled with the strong smell of gunpowder, and a great battle was on the verge of breaking out.

"Today, let you know what it means to be 'the older, the wiser'!" An old man said with a ferocious grin. His hands suddenly stretched out, instantly turning into two sharp curved blades, the blades flashing with a ghostly blue light, making people shudder.

"Old guy, stop the nonsense, let's fight directly!" Ji Chen roared and rushed up first. The Ability energy on his body surged out like a volcanic eruption, instantly twisting the surrounding air.

Ceng Yue followed closely behind. She condensed a layer of Ice Armor around her body, protecting herself tightly, like an Ice Queen, cold and beautiful.

The Ability of both sides collided instantly, emitting an earth-shattering loud noise.

The energy shockwave shattered the surrounding buildings, gravel flying, like the arrival of doomsday.

Ji Chen's fists were as hard as steel, and every punch could bring up a gust of wind, resolving the enemy's attacks one by one.

Ceng Yue was like a ghost, shuttling through the crowd, the Ice Blade in her hand like the scythe of the Grim Reaper, harvesting the lives of the enemies.

"Are these two cheating?!" The members of the Ancient Families were shocked by the powerful strength of Ji Chen and Ceng Yue; their attacks could not pose any threat to the two at all.

The battle was exceptionally intense, the light of Ability like fireworks, illuminating the entire night sky.

In the intense battle, the tacit understanding between Ji Chen and Ceng Yue also became stronger and stronger; one look, one action, and they could understand each other.

Their cooperation was seamless, making the enemy unable to defend.

Ji Chen blasted an old man away with one punch and turned to look at Ceng Yue. The two looked at each other, and a strong love surged in each other's hearts.

For each other, they would become even stronger.

"This old man is no good, still have to look at me!" Ji Chen didn't forget to mock while fighting. He was now at peak combat power, firing on all cylinders, and no one could handle him.

"They are playing with fire and burning themselves!" Ceng Yue sneered coldly. The Ice Blade in her hand became sharper, directly freezing an enemy's arm into an ice block, and then kicking it to pieces.

"Don't let them be proud anymore!" The leader of the Ancient Families roared, the energy fluctuation on his body becoming more intense, clearly preparing to release a big move.

However, just as he was preparing to release the big move, the surrounding atmosphere suddenly became eerie.

Some members of the Neutral Factions, who were originally in a wait-and-see state, suddenly defected and joined the camp of Ji Chen and Ceng Yue.

"We can no longer be deceived by this group of old guys!" The leader of a Neutral Faction shouted loudly, his voice like thunder, resounding throughout the battlefield, "We have all seen the conspiracy of the Ancient Families clearly; they are not worthy of leading the Supernatural World at all!"

More and more Neutral Factions defected, and the power of the Ancient Families began to disintegrate rapidly. Their proud strength appeared vulnerable in front of the powerful strength of Ji Chen and Ceng Yue.

Seeing this scene, Ji Chen and Ceng Yue smiled slightly. Their efforts were not in vain, and the calming of this internal strife was just around the corner.

However, just then, Ceng Yue suddenly stopped the movements in her hands. She felt a powerful energy from the depths of the darkness.

"Something's wrong, there is an even bigger conspiracy..." Ceng Yue said in a low voice, her voice carrying a hint of unease.

Ji Chen looked at Ceng Yue,

"Be careful..." ===== CHAPTER 66 =====
