Chapter 69: Desperate Counterattack

In the laboratory, the air was stagnant, and the sound of a needle dropping could be heard.

Everyone held their breath, their hearts beating like drums, and the tense atmosphere almost solidified into substance.

Ji Chen and Ceng Yue stood before the Energy Core, exchanging a look, both with a hint of imperceptible tension in the depths of their eyes.

This last experiment was not only related to their personal fate but also to the future of the entire Supernatural World.

"Start!" Ji Chen ordered in a low voice.

The Energy Core started slowly, emitting a low humming sound, like a dormant giant beast waking up.

Pale blue energy halos gradually spread, enveloping the entire laboratory.

At first, everything was stable, and the data showed everything was normal.

However, just when everyone thought victory was in sight, an accident happened!

The Energy Core suddenly vibrated violently, and the blue halo turned into a dazzling red, roaring wildly like a furious wild beast.

The alarm sounded sharp and harsh, the red warning lights flashed frantically, and the entire laboratory seemed to have fallen into a doomsday scene.

"What's going on?!" Someone shouted in terror.

"Energy is out of control! Quick! Activate the emergency plan!"

However, it was all too late.

The Energy Core was completely out of control, and the violent energy raged everywhere like a wild horse off the leash.

The surrounding equipment began to explode, flames soaring into the sky, and fragments flying.

"Chen! Yue!" Someone exclaimed.

Ji Chen and Ceng Yue were blown away by the huge energy shockwave, falling heavily to the ground.

They felt a sharp pain, as if all the bones in their bodies had been crushed.

"Damn it!" Ji Chen gritted his teeth, struggling to stand up.

"Chen, don't move!" Ceng Yue grabbed him and shouted anxiously, "If this goes on, we will all die!"

Everything around was collapsing, as if the end of the world had arrived.

Despair permeated the air, but there was no hint of giving up in the eyes of Ji Chen and Ceng Yue.

"No, I won't give up!" Ji Chen gripped Ceng Yue's hand tightly, "We still have a chance!"

Ceng Yue looked at Ji Chen's firm eyes, and an inexplicable power surged in her heart.

That's right, how could they just give up like this?

They still had so many things to do and so many people to protect.

"Okay! Together!" Ceng Yue gripped Ji Chen's hand tightly,

They stood side by side, facing the violent energy storm, like two towering mountains, standing tall.

"Are you ready?" Ji Chen looked at Ceng Yue, his eyes carrying a hint of madness.

"Ready anytime!" Ceng Yue answered without hesitation.

Ji Chen took a deep breath, "Then let's start!"

Ji Chen and Ceng Yue looked at each other, both understanding that this was the final battle.

They mobilized the little remaining Ability they had, like two beams of light, rushing toward the violent energy storm.

"Ah ah ah—"

The two roared, pushing their Ability to the limit.

The space around them twisted violently, as if it were about to be torn apart.

The violent energy impacted their bodies, and the severe pain made them almost lose consciousness.

Sweat soaked their clothes, and their bodies trembled like leaves in the wind.

The surrounding darkness seemed to want to swallow them, and they felt they couldn't hold on anymore.

"Chen..." Ceng Yue's voice was so weak it could barely be heard.

Ji Chen gripped her hand tightly, gritting his teeth, refusing to give up.

He knew that if they gave up now, they would really be finished.

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration crossed Ji Chen's mind.

An unprecedented idea appeared in his heart, crazy but full of hope.

"Yue, believe in me!" Ji Chen shouted, his eyes flashing with resolute light.

He mobilized the last bit of Ability, fusing his and Ceng Yue's Ability together.

"Boom—"

With a loud noise, the fused Ability erupted with unprecedented powerful strength.

The surrounding energy storm was instantly controlled, and the blue light once again enveloped the entire laboratory.

The alarm stopped, and the red warning lights went out.

Ji Chen and Ceng Yue landed slowly on the ground, their bodies extremely weak, but their eyes were full of joy and hope.

They succeeded!

Everyone cheered, Ji Chen had created a miracle! He became the savior in everyone's eyes!

"It's over..." Ji Chen looked at Ceng Yue, revealing a weak smile.

"Yes, it's over..." Ceng Yue also smiled, her smile carrying a hint of relief.

Suddenly, Ji Chen felt an unusual energy fluctuation.

He raised his head abruptly, looking toward the Energy Core, his expression changing drastically.

"Wait... it seems... it's not over yet..."

Ji Chen's expression instantly turned gloomy, he stared fixedly at the Energy Core, and a sense of foreboding welled up in his heart.

"Something's wrong! That thing doesn't seem to have completely settled down!"

"What?!" Everyone's hearts, which had just relaxed, were raised to their throats again, their gazes looking at the Energy Core in unison.

Just then, Ceng Yue suddenly spoke, her voice cold and resolute, "Ji Chen, I want to leave for a while."

"What?!" Ji Chen thought he had misheard, looking at Ceng Yue in disbelief.

Not only him, but the people around were also dumbfounded, their jaws almost dropping to the ground.

What's the situation?

Just finished fighting the Boss together, and you want to run away and fly solo?

Ceng Yue ignored the shocked gazes around her, explaining calmly, "I feel my Ability is not stable enough and I need to practice alone for a while."

Ji Chen was silent for a moment. He knew Ceng Yue's personality; once she made a decision, she wouldn't change it easily.

Although he was a bit reluctant in his heart, he still respected her choice, "Okay, I support you."

"Ah?!" The people around were even more confused. These two, one more incomprehensible than the other!

Just now they were side by side on the edge of life and death, and now they were going to part ways. This plot direction was too exciting!

The two ignored everyone's surprise, they looked at each other affectionately, and the air was filled with thick love.

Ji Chen walked to Ceng Yue, hugging her tightly, feeling the familiar scent on her body.

"Wait for you to come back." Ji Chen whispered in her ear, his tone full of reluctance and expectation.

Ceng Yue also hugged Ji Chen tightly, her head leaning on his shoulder, feeling his warmth.

"I will come back." Her voice was very light, but full of firmness.

The two let go of each other, looking at each other, no need for too many words, everything was in silence.

The people around looked at them saying goodbye, suddenly feeling that this dog food was a bit full.

Ceng Yue turned and left the laboratory without looking back.

Ji Chen watched her back, his heart full of reluctance, but more of it was trust in her.

After Ceng Yue left, Ji Chen continued to guard the peace in the Supernatural World, his name resounded throughout the world, becoming an eternal legend.

He stood at the pinnacle of the Supernatural World, accepting the reverence of everyone.

However, just when everyone thought everything had settled, Ji Chen suddenly raised his head, looking into the distance, muttering to himself: "This power... is a bit familiar..." ===== CHAPTER 70 =====
