Atlas of Heaven and Earth
Chapter 383: Crushing the Strong Enemy

Chen Chuan glanced at the snake-shaped pendant on the chest of the fallen man, a symbol of the Viper Organization. Among the data provided to him by the Processing Bureau were details about this team.

Even before today, he had reviewed the data on these armed groups several times, meticulously studying every video and record of each individual.

Not only did he do this himself, but he also discussed each person with a group of teachers from Wuyi, planning how to deal with them if encountered, how to quickly end the confrontation, and formulating targeted plans for each.

The man lying before him was named Jin Leihan, a native of the Fulo Peninsula, particularly skilled in Iron Body Training.

Recalling the data on this person, the voice of Instructor Bai echoed in his mind:

"For someone like Jin Leihan, who is proficient in external Iron Body Training, there's almost no possibility of being quickly defeated. If you're asking me if there's a way to achieve a swift victory, there is one...

His Iron Body Training is based on the simplest form of "Gang Yue Jin'. It's not easy to train internal energy to this level, but softness cannot defend, and hardness cannot last. Without the combination of softness and hardness, it's difficult to achieve greatness.

When he strikes, he gathers the strength of his entire body in an instant. If at that moment, an internal energy far stronger than his attacks from the front, the tissues of his entire body, which are tightly bound together, will shatter. However, this is only theoretical, because even if it's possible, you need to seize that moment when his strength is at its peak, otherwise, it's not enough to achieve the goal..."

Chen Chuan looked at the limp corpse. To achieve this goal, he first released a simulated energy field, a signal that gives a sense of extreme danger, which stimulated Jin Leihan to react strongly, forcing him to concentrate all his strength.

At that moment, Chen Chuan merged with his Second Self in an instant, guided the Furnace Breathing Technique, and with a long-gathered power, he struck with the Cloud-bursting Style, directly shattering the strongest point, instantly fracturing all the bones in his body.

This was not the end. For someone with strong Iron Body Training, being severely injured is not fatal. If enough Essence Blood is accumulated, they could even stand up. Therefore, a second wave of internal energy was released from within his body, penetrating deeply, shattering the unprotected internal organs and brain tissue, ensuring that he was dead beyond any doubt.In the eyes of onlookers, he merely threw a punch, directly killing Jin Leihan with a shockwave, which deeply shocked the members of the Viper Group witnessing the scene.

In reality, this strike condensed the combined forces of energy field skills, the Furnace Breathing Technique, and even the Second Self, representing the pinnacle of Chen Chuan's current skills and strength combined.

Moreover, Jin Leihan became the first offering to the ritual, with the Secret Ritual on his body absorbing the first sacrifice, which could play a role in the following battles.

Xiaosheng, upon seeing the scene ahead, was shocked and inwardly exclaimed, "This is bad."

Their usual tactic was to use Jin Leihan's Iron Body Training to lead the charge and hold back the enemy, exhausting the enemy's stamina and observing their weaknesses, then the rest would swarm in for the kill. This tactic had always been successful.

However, because this tactic was too effective, the practice of backup tactics was never organized, as everyone was too lazy to bother.

Now, this flaw was exposed, and they would surely fight on their own from now on.

He was absolutely correct, as indeed, when he stopped, a figure rushed past him and charged forward.

Chen Chuan looked at the person charging towards him, dressed in black martial arts attire, with a hooked nose, deep-set eyes, and agile, swift movements, wielding a long sword of Outer Ocean style, even longer than his own sword.

From the characteristics, he recognized this as Zhu Haiwu, an attacker in the Viper Group, a mixed-race individual from the Outer Ocean, who was very adept at seizing opportunities. He must have seen Chen Chuan clash with Jin Leihan and thought that his internal energy was not yet harmonized, or that he was significantly injured, making it a good opportunity to attack.

As he watched the approaching figure, the words of Teacher Zheng echoed in his mind:

"This person's swordsmanship is solid, his sword skills are commendable, quite passable. If I were to fight him? If I let loose, I could cut him in two within three strikes. At his current level, no matter how many times he tries, the result would be the same.

If you ask me if I can finish him with a single strike, my answer is yes, but it would come at a small cost..."

Facing the incoming sword strike, Chen Chuan stepped back, drawing the Snow Emperor Blade from the scabbard slanting on the ground behind him, and slashed forward with a strike of his own.If it were just a simple exchange of attacks, a life for a life, the opponent would definitely dodge and might not engage in a direct confrontation, because they have plenty of people. As long as they can restrain him and create opportunities for others, it would be enough.

Even if he demonstrated extraordinary speed and strength, due to the spatial distance, if the opponent was well-prepared, they would have enough time to react and would not be killed in one strike.

And his current speed, when facing a martial artist of the same level, does not reach the extent of crushing a first or second-limit martial artist like the third limit. So not only can't he be fast, he must be slow, to make the opponent feel they can kill him in advance, so...

Zhu Haiwu's eyes flashed, in that moment, he had already judged that his blade would definitely strike the opponent first, so he maintained his blade posture and slashed directly towards Chen Chuan's head and neck.

However, at this moment, he was suddenly startled to find that Chen Chuan's figure was not in the position it should have been, but abruptly appeared two steps away, just out of reach of the blade.

Feeling something was wrong, he reacted quickly, his whole body's internal energy surged, his wrist lifted upwards, and the blade in his hand quickly changed from a slash to a thrust, still aiming at the opponent.

Yet, as he made this move, he found that Chen Chuan was still in his original position, and everything he had seen seemed like an illusion, causing his pupils to rapidly contract.

Chen Chuan moved forward, letting the opponent's blade tip pass over his shoulder, his Snow Emperor Blade slashing twice in succession, the blade light flashing, and as the two passed each other, Zhu Haiwu was instantly cut into three pieces.

After taking two steps forward, Chen Chuan stood still, shook his long sword, and behind him, the two severed parts of the body and the flying head fell to the ground one after another.

He looked up ahead and said, "The second one!" At the same time, another light flashed within his clothes and mask.

After sacrificing Jin Leihan, the role of the secret ritual was to create a sensory dislocation, using this point, he killed Zhu Haiwu without paying any price.

And now, after sacrificing another person, the secret ritual had another effect, which he was preparing to leave for the next opponent.Those who were originally prepared to step forward and find an opportunity involuntarily stopped in their tracks. In just the blink of an eye, the second person had fallen under Chen Chuan's blade, and the outcome was decided in a single move, which greatly exceeded their expectations.

Although they did not care about their companions' lives, they were aware of their companions' strength, which made them wary and cautious, and none dared to rashly step forward again.

Chen Chuan focused on the three figures ahead. The Viper Group team was composed of six Third-Limit Martial Artists. Of course, not everyone was a master; counting Jin Leihan, the truly outstanding masters barely made up half, with the rest being mediocre. However, the main point was that each had their own characteristics.

Once combined and complemented, they were quite formidable.

In a battle between masters of the same level, facing one person and two people is completely different, not to mention facing several. This requires the solo combatant to have several times the comprehensive strength to possibly have a crushing force.

Even though he had his Second Self to bear harm, he did not want to face such a situation. It would be best to create a one-on-one scenario and then quickly defeat them one by one.

Standing on the left was Sheng Hui, who looked like a just-graduated college student. His own strength was good, and he was the brain of the Viper Group team. However, it was not easy for such a team to be led by him.

In the middle was a seductive woman in a short skirt named Xian Quanfeng. Although her combat ability was average, she was the team's interrogation expert and medic. As long as the injuries were not fatal, she could save her teammates. She was also suspected to have Gao Ming's life energy field interference ability, so the data suggested eliminating her first.

Lastly, there was a peculiarly shaped person with a hunched back, whose age was indistinguishable. His hands almost hung to the ground, with green protective gear covering his firm and slender muscles, especially the exaggerated latissimus dorsi muscles that seemed to spread out like wings, making him look like a snake walking upright.

This person was called Old Han, and he was the highest combat level in the entire Viper Group team besides the team leader, the latter's true confidant, with considerable strength. Many difficult tasks were executed by him.

Previously, the Processing Bureau needed to mobilize more people; even one less was not acceptable, mainly fearing this person and the team leader Xu Xianwen.

As he observed this moment, an elusive and ethereal energy field came into contact with his Biological Field. It seemed to carry some kind of bewildering change and attempted to further influence his spiritual state.Teacher Jiang's somewhat lazy voice was recalled by him at this moment:

"Those who are skilled in Biological Field often have a combination of cautious and impulsive traits. On one hand, they are reckless in energy field collisions, and on the other hand, they will not make a move unless they see the opponent's bottom line.

Such people are often very careful, and as soon as they sense something is wrong, they will think of ways to save their lives. Their companions will also fully support them, so they are not easy targets to kill.

If you want to solve it quickly... hmm, unless you have a way to strongly Influence her Spirit during the energy field collision, although I think it's hard to do, there might be such a method?"

At the moment of feeling the energy field contact, Chen Chuan turned his gaze to Xian Quanfeng. At the same time, the secret ritual on his body was also activated by her energy field.

That was the effect of amplifying Senses and causing the Spirit to sublimate upwards, a ritual used by the sacrificer to communicate with some kind of worshipped alien object. Therefore, at this moment, what Xian Quanfeng saw was almost like a scene after taking Special drugs, but more absurd and bizarre than that, and her Spirit inevitably became dazed for a moment.

And at this moment, Chen Chuan suddenly took out the Thunderbolt pistol, aiming the dark muzzle at the still somewhat confused and suspicious enchanting face.

As he pulled the trigger, with a bang, another thunderous sound, half of Xian Quanfeng's head was instantly blown into pieces, the huge noise causing the surrounding leaves to shake.

Chen Chuan looked at the mutilated corpse on the ground, the muzzle of the Thunderbolt Spear in his hand still emitting a wisp of smoke that had not yet dissipated, and said in a calm voice:

"The third one!"
