Chapter 83: Conspiracy Emerges, Difficulty in Breaking the Situation

Ji Chen watched the black shadow disappear into the crowd, his brows tightly locked.

This wave of operation was like having an "invisibility hack," slipping away so fast.

He scanned the surroundings; the audience had a blank expression of "Who am I, where am I," as if the fight just now was just his hallucination.

Something is wrong, very wrong!

He took a deep breath; the air was filled with a faint smell of blood and a trace of imperceptible scorching aura.

The battle just now was as smooth as if it had been arranged by a script, every link was silky and smooth, which made him feel a trace of unease.

He looked into the distance; the city neon flickered, yet it seemed to hide a huge shadow, and a feeling of a storm coming surged into his heart.

Ji Chen decided to follow the vine to find the melon, determined to ferret out the black hand behind this and "wipe them all out."

Relying on his powerful perception, he began to track the aura left by the black shadow.

However, when he chased to an abandoned factory, the clue suddenly broke, as if "404 not found," disappearing without a trace.

This place was eerie, like a horror movie set, and the air was filled with a damp and decaying smell, making him feel like he had stumbled into "Silent Hill."

Ji Chen's brows locked even tighter; things seemed to be getting more and more interesting.

He cautiously looked around and discovered some bizarre runes carved on the ground, exuding faint energy fluctuations.

"Damn, is this some villain's 'old nest'?" Ji Chen muttered, his internal alarm bells ringing loudly.

He could feel that these runes were like "landmines," exuding a dangerous aura.

He tentatively took a step forward, and the ground under his feet suddenly emitted a slight vibration.

"Crack! Crack!" A series of trap sounds came, and countless energy runes flickering with eerie light suddenly appeared on the surrounding walls.

Ji Chen instantly felt the hair on his body stand up, and a sense of foreboding enveloped him.

He realized that he might have stepped into a "Trap Zone" carefully laid out by someone!

He slowly retreated, fine beads of sweat already seeping onto his forehead.

The surrounding air seemed to be twisted by some force, making him feel waves of oppression.

The air was filled with energy fluctuations of various supernatural restrictions, like countless invisible tentacles wanting to tear him apart.

Ji Chen cautiously dodged those dangerous energy fluctuations; he could feel his supernatural energy draining rapidly, and his movements becoming increasingly sluggish.

He suddenly stopped his steps, his gaze fixed on the front; Ji Chen felt like a fly that had fallen into a spider web, unable to move.

This restriction is playing really dirty!

The surrounding energy fluctuations were like poisonous snakes flicking their tongues, surrounding him tightly; if he touched them even slightly, he would lose a layer of skin.

He didn't dare to act rashly and could only watch as his supernatural energy flowed out like a faucet with a broken valve.

"Hiss—" Ji Chen gasped; this feeling was more stimulating than eating ten packs of wasabi!

He felt his five senses were infinitely magnified, the surrounding air became viscous, and breathing became difficult.

The rust smell of the abandoned factory, the fishy smell of soil, and the unknown smell of decay all drilled into his nose at once, smoking his head until it hurt.

He could even hear his own heartbeat "thump, thump, thump," as deafening as a drum.

The surrounding restriction runes flickered with ghostly light, like a dance of demons, making him dizzy.

These runes seemed to have some kind of pattern, but they were also chaotic, leaving him unable to make heads or tails of them for a while.

Ji Chen tried hard to calm himself down; this damn place was even harder than the college entrance exam math!

He closed his eyes, carefully feeling the flow of energy around him, trying to find a flaw.

Suddenly, he opened his eyes wide, a flash of brilliance in them!

He discovered that in the very center of the restriction, there was an area with relatively weak energy fluctuations, like a bug in a computer program, which was the loophole of the entire restriction!

"That's you!" Ji Chen's lips curled slightly, revealing a confident smile.

He held his breath, concentrated all the remaining supernatural energy at one point, and rushed toward that weak point!

"Boom!" With a loud noise, a gap appeared in the center of the restriction, and the light of the surrounding runes dimmed a bit.

Ji Chen felt the pressure on his body instantly lighten, as if he had unloaded a heavy burden, and his whole person felt much more relaxed.

He took a deep breath, a smile of "everything is under control" on his face, and thought to himself: "Petty tricks, and you dare to show off?" He was just about to leave this ghost place when he suddenly heard a uniform sound of footsteps, approaching from far to near...

"Heh," Ji Chen sneered, "Sending people so quickly? It seems there's a good show to watch..." The footsteps got closer and closer, like the death god ringing the funeral bell, full of rhythm, making one's scalp tingle.

Ji Chen's lips curled into a cold smile; it seems quite a few came to "send their heads" this time.

Sure enough, the next second, a group of men in black rushed into the factory as if they had activated "Sprint."

They were agile, their auras fierce; one look and you knew they were well-trained elite killers.

"Yo, quite a formation, are you preparing for a team fight?" Ji Chen clenched his fists, his joints making "crack, crack" sounds, his eyes flickering with excitement.

He hadn't stretched his muscles in a long time; these people came just in time to be his "sandbags" for practice.

The men in black didn't talk nonsense and directly launched an attack; various supernatural lights intertwined in the dim factory, like gorgeous death fireworks.

Ji Chen's figure was agile, shuttling through the crowd like a loach, easily dodging one fatal attack after another.

He spotted an opportunity and smashed a heavy punch into a killer's chest; the killer flew out like a kite with a broken string, hit the wall, spat out a mouthful of blood, and directly "died on the spot."

The battle instantly entered a white-hot state, fist to flesh, every move lethal, and the air was filled with a heavy smell of blood.

Ji Chen was like a beast, crazily harvesting the lives of the enemies, killing the killers until they retreated step by step, flesh and blood flying.

The walls and floor of the abandoned factory were splashed with blood, like a shocking "blood-colored ink painting."

In the intense battle, some fragments suddenly flashed in Ji Chen's mind—those were scenes of him and Zeng Yue fighting side by side; those difficult times were like a ball of fire, burning the power in his heart.

He kicked a killer away, used the reaction force to jump high, and the power in his hands was like a volcanic eruption, smashing fiercely onto the ground.

"Boom!" With a loud noise, the ground instantly collapsed, and countless killers were shaken away.

Just as Ji Chen was preparing to pursue the victory, he suddenly felt a chill behind his back.

He turned his head violently and found that he had been surrounded by a group of men in black; the weapons in their hands flickered with heart-palpitating cold light, and the sharp blades appeared particularly glaring under the dim light.

Ji Chen clenched his fists, a bloodthirsty smile on his face, and the atmosphere instantly became tense to the extreme.

These people are really insidious!

He sneered and spat out a sentence: "It seems I have to play a big one today." ===== CHAPTER 84 =====
