Atlas of Heaven and Earth

Chen Bitong recalled that Chen Chuan's Strength Technique was quite unique, seemingly capable of simulating various internal energies, and his own resistance to strikes was extremely formidable. Even if he used spirit to transfer external strength, he couldn't push him back. Indeed, Chen Chuan was the best candidate for the main attack.

He looked at Chen Chuan again; this young man was spirited and determined, fearless and brave, just like he was in his youth.

After a moment of reflection, he said, "Captain Chen, you must have expended a lot of energy just now, right? Can you hold on?"

Setting aside physical strength, mutated tissues do get fatigued. Before Chen Chuan arrived here, he must have already been in a battle, and then he fought with him again. These consumptions were real, just like him at this moment, although he could still maintain his combat ability, it was no longer comparable to his peak state at the beginning.

Chen Chuan had indeed expended a lot. Although he had Second Self, his physical strength wouldn't be lacking, but after two direct collisions with that kind of strength, Second Self only had two-fifths of its original capacity left.

Next, they might face similar strength again, so they needed to be more cautious.

The drugs he took earlier, after the battle with Chen Bitong, the medicinal effects were almost exhausted by now.

After some thought, he took out the recovery potion that Commissioner Liang had someone bring to him, opened it, and drank it down.

Soon, a warm current spread throughout his body, making every part of his body feel warm and comfortable.

He felt that this medicinal effect was the most powerful he had ever seen, as if he had instantly returned to his peak state, and it felt like it could continuously provide him with abundant energy for a period of time.

The drugs specially sent by the Ministry of Defense were indeed not simple.

However, along with the strength, it also brought side effects. He saw that Second Self also had large areas of phantom shadows appearing, indicating that the drug's effects were also very destructive to the body.

But even without mentioning that he had Second Self to transfer the damage, even ordinary Third-Limit Martial Artists would not hesitate to use some highly damaging drugs as long as they could help restore their combat strength.This is because at this cultivation level, as long as one's physical strength remains and there is a reserve of Essence Blood, these damages can be repaired with Essence Blood afterward, without too much concern.

Seeing him take drugs to recover, Chen Bitong also slightly closed his eyes, adjusting his state by releasing Essence Blood.

After a while, when he opened his eyes again, the light in his eyes became strong once more.

He said, "The cavalry officer who came just now did not have his own banner, so he should be an unranked deputy general, which means the military commander is more than ninety percent likely to be an auxiliary general.

Unlike the Imperial Retainer Warriors like the Iron Demon that Captain Chen has encountered, they do not undergo a transformation process because they have fully adapted to biological parasitism, becoming one with it.

Moreover, like me, they have mastered the method of drawing strength from the outside world. Although this is their reliance, their combat behavior is also relatively easy to predict.

In critical moments, they will undoubtedly use this strength without hesitation, but this requires a high degree of spirit concentration. Therefore, once they activate this power, it also means their attention to the inside and outside will greatly decrease, which is the best point of entry."

Chen Chuan said seriously, "I will create an opportunity for Master Chen."

Chen Bitong said, "The specific situation cannot be completely predicted. When we get there, we need to adapt to the situation and not be constrained by who delivers the final blow. Take decisive action when you see an opportunity. I have an idea here, we can do it like this..."

He took a spear and drew a few lines on the ground, then nodded, indicating, "Although this approach is a bit more difficult, it can achieve a more surprising effect."

Chen Chuan looked at it, thought for a moment, and found it feasible. At least in the event of a sudden ambush, the other side would not react immediately.

He agreed, "Master Chen's plan is very feasible, let's proceed with this."

Chen Bitong knew, however, that plans ultimately rely on people to execute them. No matter how good the opportunity, if the person is not capable, it's useless. This plan is based on the abilities of two people, and it's precisely because of the underlying abilities of each that there are more possibilities.

At this moment, he solemnly reminded, "I do not doubt that Captain Chen can reach the two of them, but remember to be careful at the end. If it feels untenable, then retreat."After all, charging out head-on would inevitably confront all the defensive Strength of the opponent, which would impose an extraordinary amount of pressure on Chen Chuan. Even if others were ignored, just facing those two main and deputy military commanders would be more dangerous than dealing with Nie Guanshan and Yang Can alone.

Chen Chuan nodded in agreement.

Chen Bitong said, "We will make our move once the flames have weakened a bit."

After the deputy military commander returned to the foot of the mountain, dense white Mutated Tissue grew out from the crack in the armor on his back, quickly sealing the wound, and the armor gradually repaired itself.

Such armors have their own biological tissues, capable of healing along with their bodies.

Upon reaching under the banner, he had a conversation with the main military commander, indicating that the two people on the opposite side had very strong Strength and were quite troublesome, and discussed their specific styles and characteristics.

The main commander was not bothered by the failed attack this time; if it didn't work once, they could organize another attempt. However, given the strong martial prowess of the two above, tactics would need to be adjusted for the next attempt.

An adviser then suggested that they could first use artillery fire to block all possibilities of the opposite side, and once the airships from the rear arrived, they could completely suppress the two inside.

However, the main commander rejected this proposal.

Because Martial Artists who are almost at the edge of surpassing limits are generally not hit by ordinary artillery or machine gun fire, and the fact that these two have come to this side clearly presents an opportunity for them to deal with.

If they were to push them back, retreating to the other side of the Fissure, it would be even harder for them to break through.

The best approach is still to solve them on this side. Previously, they had concerns, not knowing the enemy's layout and true Strength, but now they have a certain level of confidence.

The main commander immediately began arranging personnel, planning to take action with the deputy commander this time to resolve the obstacles above in one go.

Under the orders, the people below began to organize, with various Imperial Retainer Warriors gathering under the ceremonial banner.

Inside the Fissure, seeing the flames ahead weaken slightly, the two were almost ready. Chen Bitong nodded to Chen Chuan and stepped out of the Fissure first, his figure quickly blending into the mist.

Chen Chuan arrived at the entrance, looking down. The mist still lingered on the mountain path, making the situation below not very clear, but the banner was faintly visible.The old Imperial family placed extreme emphasis on etiquette, and military regulations were strict. As the main commander, it was impossible to stray far from the banner, which served as a reference point.

Because, apart from pursuit, they had not previously taken the initiative to step out of the Fissure, and hiding inside was undoubtedly safer, so at this moment, the enemy would never expect them to charge down from the mountain.

But they only had one chance.

He glanced at the Snow Emperor Blade, extending his Spirit into the blade. It had been proven during the handling of the Split Offspring that, when truly needed, it could be temporarily awakened.

Moreover, he didn't need it for long; when the right moment came, there might only be a chance to strike once.

As his Spirit concentrated, the Snow Emperor Blade began to tremble slightly, clearly sensing and understanding his will.

He knew that once the charge began, the noise could not be concealed, and those below would definitely react.

But he didn't need to conceal it; he wanted to attract everyone's attention to create an opportunity for Chen Bitong to strike.

After a while, seeing the flames in front of the door almost extinguished, he took a deep breath and stepped forward.

In that instant, everything around him slowed down. As he moved forward, a loud explosion sounded around him.

There were some scattered soldiers responsible for forward observation on the mountain path. They only heard a loud noise, followed by a gust of wind passing by them.

Some were lightly brushed, their muscles and bones immediately torn apart, and they were swept away by a powerful airflow.

Chen Chuan was not affected in the slightest, maintaining his charging momentum, and with the push of Second Self Merge, his speed became faster and faster.

At this moment, his Spirit momentum also gradually rose, climbing higher and higher. The Snow Emperor Blade in his hand seemed to be stimulated by this, vibrating with a misty light.

In just a few kilometers, he reached the front in a few breaths.

Under the banner, the main commander sat on his horse with no intention of retreating. The Imperial Retainer Warriors and guards beside him, upon noticing something was wrong, immediately surged forward, forming a defensive formation in front and raising their spears.

The deputy commander also moved closer to the main commander.

They truly did not expect the enemy to dare charge down, and to facilitate their own attack later, they had just leveled and cleared the ground in front, which now seemed to have made it easier for the enemy.Chen Chuan charged along a straight line between the military banner and himself, seeing the obstacles and the dense array of spears ahead, he had no intention of slowing down but instead directly collided with them!

At the moment of contact, the spears at the front shattered upon hitting him, with wooden and metal fragments scattering in all directions. Some fragments even carried strong kinetic energy towards the rear, immediately causing a series of agonizing screams.

As the front row of people, whether guards or those Imperial Retainer Warriors, felt as if they had been hit by a high-speed train, with a loud bang, the entire formation was instantly breached, with broken bodies and weapons flying backward along the direction of the impact.

Under such a collision, Chen Chuan's military coat also burst open. His eyes firmly locked on the military commander ahead, after breaking through the formation, he just lightly stepped on the ground, and the strong thrust propelled him into the air. With both hands holding the Long Sword, he swung it down towards the commander!
