Chapter 98: Strong Enemy Ahead

Ji Chen and Ceng Yue exchanged a glance, both seeing gravity in the other's eyes.

The shaking of the ground grew more intense, as if an ancient giant beast were awakening.

They simultaneously clenched their fists, powerful Supernatural Ability fluctuations surging around their bodies, ready to face the upcoming challenge at any moment.

The air felt as if it had solidified, suffocatingly oppressive.

"Boom—!"

With a loud bang, the earth suddenly split open, and a behemoth burst forth from the ground.

It was over ten stories tall, its entire body covered in thick black scales. Two massive horns grew from its ferocious head, and its scarlet eyes, like two blood lanterns, exuded a chilling, murderous light.

As soon as this monster appeared, the surrounding air seemed to be sucked dry, making one feel a sense of suffocation.

Ji Chen felt a powerful sense of oppression surge like a tide, causing the Supernatural Ability within his body to become somewhat chaotic, as if suppressed by some powerful force.

This monster was definitely not comparable to the small fry from before; the aura it exuded was like a towering mountain, making one feel awe-struck.

Ji Chen felt the blood in his body begin to boil; it was a longing for a strong opponent, an excitement for battle.

Ceng Yue also felt this powerful sense of oppression. Her hand gripping the long whip trembled slightly, but her gaze became even firmer.

She knew that in this battle, they had to give it their all.

A rare seriousness on her cold face.

"This Boss is quite fierce." Ji Chen's mouth curled slightly, excitement flashing in his eyes. He stared fixedly at the giant monster before him, his fighting spirit burning in his chest.

"Looks like today, we'll have to bring out our real skills."

Ceng Yue didn't speak, just stood silently by Ji Chen's side, the long whip in her hand emitting a crisp sound.

She knew that they had to fight side by side to defeat the strong enemy before them.

"Are you ready?" Ji Chen asked in a low voice, his tone filled with determination.

Ceng Yue nodded slightly, the long whip in her hand already primed for action.

"Let's do it..." As soon as her voice fell, the giant monster let out a deafening roar, and the entire space seemed to tremble.

The next second, its massive claws swung violently toward Ji Chen and Ceng Yue.

"Boom!" The giant claws, carrying a fierce wind and the momentum of destroying the world, smashed down.

Ji Chen was quick-witted; he grabbed Ceng Yue and narrowly dodged the attack.

The ground was smashed into a deep pit by the giant claws, gravel flying and dust filling the air.

"Damn! This attack power is off the charts!" Ji Chen couldn't help but mutter. If they had been half a beat slower, they would probably have been turned into meat patties.

The monster's attacks came wave after wave, giving them no chance to catch their breath.

Ji Chen and Ceng Yue were exhausted from dodging, and both were more or less injured.

Ceng Yue's face was somewhat pale, and fine beads of sweat seeped from her forehead.

"This can't go on; we'll be worn out!" Ceng Yue said through gritted teeth, her tone carrying a hint of despair.

"Don't panic, my wife is the most beautiful in the world, she'll definitely hold on!" Ji Chen gave her an encouraging look. "Think about our dinner, think about our little goals, think about our wonderful future! Just thinking about it gets me pumped!"

Ceng Yue rolled her eyes at him, but the despair in her eyes dissipated significantly, replaced by a hint of determination.

While dodging attacks, Ji Chen carefully observed the monster's attack patterns.

He discovered that although the monster was massive and had powerful attack strength, it had a fatal weakness—the scales on its abdomen were relatively thin, and there was a brief pause after every attack.

"Now!" Ji Chen shouted inwardly. Seizing the pause after the monster's attack, his figure flashed, and he instantly arrived beneath the monster's abdomen.

He concentrated all his Supernatural Ability into his fists and blasted upward violently!

"Boom!" With a loud bang, the monster's abdomen was struck, and it let out a painful hiss.

Its massive body swayed, and it actually retreated several steps.

"It worked!" Ji Chen felt a surge of wild joy. Sure enough, the monster's weakness was its abdomen!

The tense atmosphere around them eased slightly, and Ji Chen took a deep breath, excitement flashing in his eyes.

"This is only the beginning..." He curled his mouth slightly, revealing a confident smile.

"Next, I'll let you see what real power is!"

The monster, struck in the abdomen by Ji Chen, was thoroughly enraged. Its hissing was deafening, as if it wanted to tear this space apart.

Its massive body began to twist crazily, and its attacks became erratic; giant claws, tail, and even the horns on its head became weapons of attack.

Ji Chen and Ceng Yue were in constant danger under the monster's crazy attacks.

The fierce wind brought about by the swinging giant claws cut their skin like sharp blades; they could only constantly dodge and maneuver, trying their best to avoid the monster's frontal attacks.

Every dodge by Ji Chen was accompanied by the sound of air exploding, and Ceng Yue's long whip danced airtight, drawing silver arcs of light in the air.

The two cooperated tacitly, one responsible for offense, the other for defense, and they actually gradually adapted to the monster's attack rhythm.

Ceng Yue looked at Ji Chen's agile figure on the battlefield; he was like a leopard dancing on the edge of life and death, every strike precise and fatal.

"Careful!" Ji Chen suddenly shouted. He saw the monster's tail sweeping toward Ceng Yue with lightning speed.

Ceng Yue couldn't dodge in time and was about to be hit.

Ji Chen didn't even think; he rushed over and shielded Ceng Yue in his arms.

"Bang!" The tail whipped fiercely against Ji Chen's back; he felt as if his internal organs had shifted.

An intense pain spread throughout his body, but he held Ceng Yue tightly, not letting her suffer the slightest harm.

Ceng Yue was held tightly in Ji Chen's arms, feeling his strong, powerful heartbeat. Her cold heart seemed to be melted by a warm current.

She looked up at Ji Chen's determined profile, and an inexplicable emotion rippled in her heart.

The surrounding air seemed to become sweet and sticky, and an atmosphere of love permeated between the two.

Ji Chen endured the pain in his back and quickly adjusted his state. He seized the opportunity again, leaped up, concentrated all his Supernatural Ability on his fist again, and smashed it fiercely into the same weak point of the monster.

"Boom!" This attack was even more violent; the monster's abdomen caved in a large chunk, and it let out an even more miserable scream.

However, the monster did not fall. Instead, it emitted an even more powerful energy fluctuation, forming a visible shockwave centered on itself, instantly blasting Ji Chen and Ceng Yue away.

"Ugh!" Ji Chen and Ceng Yue crashed heavily to the ground, blood spilling from the corners of their mouths.

They struggled to get up, only to find that the monster was still standing tall.

"It's not over yet..." Ji Chen wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, excitement for battle flashing in his eyes. ===== CHAPTER 99 =====
