Atlas of Heaven and Earth

Although Chen Chuan's punch was an attack, it didn't contain much internal energy.

Since these two were resorting to underhanded tactics, he wouldn't be polite and would certainly retaliate.

In an instant, his fist collided with Chen Bitong's, but the seemingly powerful strike from the other side didn't transmit any energy into his body either.

As expected, Chen Bitong, who had taught him for so long, saw through his intentions from the mere action of switching the knife to his left hand.

Furthermore, at this moment, he was taking advantage of the situation, putting on a facade of a real, solid contact, causing a huge collision sound to erupt where their fists met.

This extremely realistic illusion, besides the clever manipulation of internal energy, seemed to utilize some kind of spiritual guidance. If Chen Chuan wasn't aware of the true situation, even he would probably have thought that he had endured the full force of the opponent's attack in that instant.

The Yang and Guan duo, witnessing this scene, had no doubts about it. Chen Bitong's momentary delay meant that the opportunity they had been waiting for had finally arrived.

Nie Guanshan, without the slightest hesitation, tapped the ground with his toes, shrugged his shoulders, and immediately launched a punch towards Chen Bitong!

Yang Can also vibrated his ten fingers, and those long ropes floating in the sky suddenly descended, covering the two men.

Realizing the situation was bad, Nie Guanshan immediately adopted a defensive stance, while retreating towards Yang Can, trying to provide cover for the latter. Because he knew that Yang Can was the most likely target of attack at this moment.

But it was too late.

Almost at the same moment they attacked, Chen Bitong's phantom appeared above Yang Can and punched him in the head.

Yang Can, having served in the Exploration Team and experienced many life-and-death crises, reacted extremely quickly upon realizing the danger. Instead of retracting the Entangling Dragon, he increased its strength. The forward-stretched rope vibrated, and surprisingly, at this seemingly impossible moment, dragged his body towards the side and front.

This dodge allowed him to avoid the vital head area, but the punch still landed on one of his shoulders.

Instantly, an all-pervasive internal energy penetrated into his body, and a series of explosions erupted inside his body and joints, even causing cracks to appear on the surface of his skin.

At this moment, many parts of his body showed unnatural distortions, indicating that even bones and tissues had been damaged by the internal energy, demonstrating the power of that punch.

In a one-on-one fight, that would basically be the end.

At this time, Nie Guanshan had already turned back and approached, trying to force Chen Bitong away from Yang Can.

However, with one less person in the fight, Chen Bitong was now much more composed. A phantom suddenly appeared against the sky, abruptly appearing above him and stepping down.

Nie Guanshan couldn't distinguish the real from the fake, but the Immortal Stance was both offensive and defensive, unafraid of attacks. At this moment, he was in the Immortal Stance defensive posture, so he channeled his internal energy accordingly, turning from defense to offense. With a double punch, he immediately shattered the phantom above.

But another Chen Bitong appeared beside him, slapping him hard on the side. He shuddered, lowered his body again, returned to the Immortal Stance posture, and dissolved the internal energy that had poured in.

Yet another Chen Bitong appeared on his other side, punching him in the waist. He immediately turned his body, punching out with both fists to the side. With this blow, the internal energy in his body circulated in layers, expelling the incoming internal energy.

At this time, more phantoms appeared around him, constantly punching and hitting various parts of his body. He fully mobilized his stance, constantly gathering and then punching out.

But as more and more internal energy entered his body, he couldn't completely expel it every time. With the gradual accumulation of residual internal energy, his movements became slower and slower.

He gritted his teeth and held on. Although the situation looked bad, it wasn't without meaning. At this moment, he was holding Chen Bitong back, which could buy Yang Can some time.

People at their cultivation level recover quickly. As long as they buy a little time, they can recover some combat power. However, if there are no turning points, it's only a matter of time before he is defeated.

And Chen Chuan, who could theoretically help him at this moment, was also being intercepted by Chen Bitong's phantoms, and was seemingly suppressed.

He didn't know what had happened earlier, didn't think there was a problem with his ritual, and thought that Chen Bitong's methods might be more skillful, seeing through their arrangement and turning the tables on them.

It was a pity that once this type of spirit ritual was activated, it needed to be accumulated again. Otherwise, he would definitely guide Chen Chuan to block another attack for him.

Under continuous attacks, his movements became increasingly slow and stagnant. It seemed that one or two more blows would completely suppress him.

But just as Chen Bitong's figure fell from the sky, about to deliver the decisive blow, a strand of long rope suddenly wrapped around his arm, while the other end was wrapped around Nie Guanshan's feet.

He seemed to be prepared for this, and suddenly exerted force, pulling Chen Bitong, pulling him down from the sky, and after turning over, landing on the ground, more and more long ropes climbed up, firmly binding half of his body.

Yang Can lay there with blood overflowing from the corners of his mouth, grinning and saying, "Got you!"

His Entangling Dragon was not only the external manifestation of internal energy, but also included spiritual skills, the key being the word "entanglement".

As long as the other party's internal energy enters his body, his spirit will firmly remember the other party.

After that, no matter how many phantoms the opponent divides into, no matter where they hide, his spirit can accurately find them.

But if he loses his own strength, having only this is useless, so he has another trick here.

Those long ropes are not really weapons, but mutated tissue that grows from his body after he cultivated the Entangling Dragon. It can be said to be a kind of active organism that can move on its own under the drive of his spirit.

This is the most critical trick!

At this moment, with the entanglement of his spirit, and Chen Bitong attacking Nie Guanshan at the most critical moment, he took the opportunity to entangle him.

This thing is extremely tough, once entangled, it is impossible to separate it for a while.

Not to mention a while, in the heat of battle, just a small pause is enough to change the situation.

This is actually one of their backup plans, because they didn't think that the person sent by the Ministry of Defense to cooperate could block Chen Bitong. Those people at the same level as them have tasks to perform and cannot cooperate with them, so they have long been prepared that the person who came will be completely useless.

If the situation falls into decline, they can use this method to reverse the situation.

However, this is just in case. If possible, they don't want to fall into this dangerous situation, but prioritize their own safety. But now the battle has entered this stage, and it can be said that they have been forced to use this trick.

The result was good. After Chen Bitong was entangled, he couldn't break free, and the phantoms disappeared one after another.

The Entangling Dragon entangled this flying dragon!

This was the moment Nie Guanshan was waiting for. He shouted loudly, mustered his strength, and slammed his fists into Chen Bitong's chest.

There was no way to avoid this blow. Even Chen Bitong would be seriously injured if he took it.

Originally, he was about to win this battle, but now it seems that he has been reversed by the two people. This is because the cooperation of two people allows for a much larger error tolerance rate than one person alone.

At this moment, a certain change suddenly occurred in Chen Bitong's spirit. He suddenly looked up, and then saw him raising an unentangled arm to block there.

It could be seen that the outer layer of the arm was now emitting a faint light.

Nie Guanshan's punch slammed into it, but the surging internal energy seemed to be blasting into a bottomless cave, with no response coming out.

He was stunned for a moment, and then saw the faintly flickering light. He immediately thought of something, and his eyes couldn't help but reveal a look of horror.

For a time, he couldn't care about attacking, tapped his feet, and retreated outwards, looking like he wasn't trying to defend, but thinking about withdrawing from here directly.

However, Chen Bitong casually tore off all the tough ropes entangled on his body. His figure flickered in place, and when he reappeared, he had already caught up with Nie Guanshan.

Nie Guanshan hurriedly adopted the Immortal Stance defensive posture, and the hand with the faint light punched him in the abdomen.

His back arched, and his whole body was knocked up, for the first time since adopting the Immortal Stance, his toes left the ground.

This time, his Power Stance was actually difficult to resist the penetration of internal energy. The surging force instantly crashed into his body, constantly stirring in various places in his body.

Chen Bitong took another step forward and slammed his elbow into his throat. There was a sound of bone cracking, and continuous explosions came from all parts of his body.

At this point, his offensive was not over. He slapped him on the forehead again. Nie Guanshan's eyes turned white, and he leaned back and was thrown far away. When he fell to the ground, he could no longer see any signs of life.

Yang Can slowly climbed up at this moment. In this short period of time, he had gradually repaired some of the damaged areas. He couldn't care about looking at Nie Guanshan and staggered out.

At this time, there were gunshots overhead, and bullets kept hitting him.

Even a Third-Limit Martial Artist, if mutated tissue cannot be condensed, it is impossible to resist so many bullets. Fortunately, he had protective gear and protective gloves on his body, so he raised his hand to cover his head and face, and walked out against the bullets.

But before he could get far, a figure appeared in front of him.

In great horror, he jumped to the side, but a hand came across the air and hit him on the neck. Empty String Energy extended all the way to the spine, where every joint made a crackling explosion.

He convulsed violently in mid-air, flew out more than ten meters, and fell weakly to the ground, rolled out in a distorted posture, and finally lay there motionless like mud.
