Atlas of Heaven and Earth
Chapter 385: Black Serpent

The people in front of the Atlas of Heaven Fetal Heart convoy were all looking ahead. They first heard the clear cracking sound of footsteps crushing the fallen leaves on the ground. After a while, a figure wearing a black jacket, a mask, and holding a long sword slowly emerged from the thick fog.

A shocking crimson mark was on the mask's brow. Even more terrifying was that this person was dragging Old Han's corpse with one hand. It was clear that the latter's skull was cracked, revealing the charred tissue inside. They unconsciously took steps backward, pointing their guns nervously at the figure, but no one dared to fire.

When Chen Chuan got closer, he threw Old Han's body forward, ignoring the guns pointed at him, and looked at one of the vehicles in the convoy.

Xu Xianwen saw this scene through the car window. He stared intently at Chen Chuan's figure. After a long while, he reached for the car door handle, turned it, and pushed the door open from the inside, stepping out.

He twirled his cane, tightened the cloak around his shoulders, and walked forward. His movements were leisurely and natural, as if he didn't care about Old Han's death at all.

Chen Chuan looked at him, thinking this must be Xu Xianwen, the leader of the Viper Group. This person rarely took action himself, and there was almost no video data available. However, he had defeated many famous Martial Artist, including some publicly recognized powerful experts, which explained why the Processing Bureau was so cautious.

Xu Xianwen didn't seem to have any intention of attacking immediately. He stopped about ten meters away from Chen Chuan, planted his cane on the ground, rested both hands on it, looked at the mask on Chen Chuan's face, and said:

"I know you. It's said that long ago, before you even reached the Third Limit, you defeated Tan Wang of the Secret Serpent Cult. Although those who go down that deviated path are only at that level, it's still commendable.

Actually, I have a high opinion of you. How about it? Want to come to my side?

How much can your employer give you? My employer is very generous. As long as you're willing to work, all kinds of Cultivation resources will be issued generously. I'm never stingy with my subordinates. As long as you're willing to come over, kill your employer, and I'll introduce you, we'll split what we get fifty-fifty."

Chen Chuan looked at him and said calmly, "Has Mr. Xu ever thought that perhaps your share will also be mine?"

Xu Xianwen paused for a moment. Although he still had a polite smile on his lips, his eyes became sharp.

He fiddled with the smooth top of his cane and said leisurely, "It seems we can't come to an agreement."

Chen Chuan slowly raised the blade of his knife, pointing it forward. His action represented his answer, and at the same time, his Biological Field was released.

Almost instantly, he felt himself come into contact with a dark and deep energy field, giving the feeling of a giant snake with an incredibly tough body, constantly in motion.

Xu Xianwen narrowed his eyes at this moment, because he felt that Chen Chuan's Biological Field was just ordinary, far from being as amazing and powerful as it seemed on the outside.

But he quickly judged that it had undergone some changes, but the transformation was so natural that it was almost impossible to see any flaws, which showed that the person had put a lot of effort into the energy field.

He slowly raised his cane, looking very calm. After turning his wrist, he looked up at Chen Chuan and smiled at him. The Viper Group members behind him only saw a blur before his figure suddenly disappeared from their sight.

In Chen Chuan's eyes, Xu Xianwen only took a slight half-step forward with his foot, seemingly just making a simple adjustment, but his whole body changed from stillness to motion, suddenly rushing towards him.

The Speed was incredibly fast, and he was suddenly close. The outstretched cane was held at the end by both hands, the front end pointing straight at his throat, and his face had changed from its original peaceful expression to a terrifying one.

Chen Chuan was about to use the advantage of the blade's length to block him, but he felt something, leaned back, and took a step back.

Just as Xu Xianwen was about to hit his forward-pointing blade, with a "whoosh' sound, a long section of blade suddenly extended from the front end of the cane, stabbing straight at his face. This strike was like a Poison Snake flicking its tongue, sudden and fast. If he hadn't retreated in time, he might have been hit.

At this moment, Chen Chuan turned his wrist, and the blade of the knife moved upward to block. At the moment the Long Sword and the cane made contact, he felt an incredibly huge Strength transmitted from it.

His eyes flickered. This Strength was the strongest he had encountered among his enemies. If he had just reached the Third Limit, he might not have been able to withstand it, but now he steadily withstood the Strength, his arm not shaking at all, and the Mutated Tissue in his body calmly dissipated the incoming Internal energy.

After Xu Xianwen ejected the blade, the sword-cane was no less in length than the Snow Emperor Blade, and at this moment, he had seized the initiative. He suddenly turned the ceremonial sword, stirring the blade, and then sent it forward with both hands.

Chen Chuan lowered his wrist, pushed the blade with his upper hand, and blocked it diagonally in front of him. The sword tip only poked at it, and a great Strength was transmitted. His whole body was also pushed by this force, sliding back several meters.

Xu Xianwen once again leapt from the spot, chasing forward with a grim expression, the ceremonial sword in his hand either stabbing or slashing, the offensive as rapid as a storm.

Faced with such an enemy, Chen Chuan did not rush to Counterattack, but first steadily defended himself. Due to the transmission and collision of Strength between the two sides, cracks appeared on the road they passed.

As the Speed and Strength of the two men gradually increased, the range of their activities also became larger and larger, each movement covering a distance of ten or even dozens of meters.

The Viper Group members only heard the dense sound of knives and canes colliding from the surrounding fog, unable to distinguish where the people were. Only occasionally would the ground suddenly crack, with stone chips flying, and large pieces of crushed red maple leaves constantly swirling around, like dancing blood foam.

In the continuous exchange, Chen Chuan found that Xu Xianwen's Speed was also extremely fast, and the force was Anomaly concealed and subtle. Often, with just a slight shake of his body, he could deliver a powerful blow. Even if the opponent was holding only a ceremonial sword, every Block felt like he was taking a Hammer head-on.

Not only the sword strikes, but also his deep energy field was trying to exert pressure on him from the Spirit and Influence him. This could be said to be an all-round powerful opponent, bringing him a sense of oppression far stronger than any previous enemy.

But even so, it did not exceed his ability to cope. With the cooperation of the Furnace Skills, he did not reveal the slightest flaw. After Parry continuously for more than a minute, he had gradually adapted to and familiarized himself with the Rhythm of his fighting, and began to try to feel the other's breathing, brewing and looking for opportunities to Counterattack.

And he could feel that perhaps because of the fight with this powerful Martial Artist, the Mutated Tissue on his body gradually became active and excited, and Strength and Speed were subtly improving.

This was because although he had worked hard Cultivation these days, he had not been able to familiarize himself with and adapt to these things and transform them into the combat power they should have been because he had no opponents, but at this moment, he was slowly being driven.

Xu Xianwen had been paying attention to observing his opponent while attacking, and seemed to feel the changes in him. He was slightly surprised and doubtful. Chen Chuan had defended himself flawlessly for so long, without being suppressed at all, and now seemed to be getting stronger and stronger as he fought. If he let it go like this, the battle situation might be reversed.

Then…

His eyes became deep. At this moment, he suddenly made a stab forward. This move was Anomaly quick and swift, and completely abandoned defense and follow-up moves, with a somewhat desperate flavor.

Chen Chuan's eyes focused on him. He knew that if he gave way at this time, he would become passive again, so he didn't mean to retreat at all, and stabbed forward with the same knife.

After the knives and swords missed each other, the two men almost simultaneously stabbed each other. Chen Chuan felt that he had clearly stabbed the other person, but it was like sinking into a swamp, and the Strength on it was swallowed up in an instant.

Xu Xianwen's stab also failed to penetrate Chen Chuan's body, not only because of Second Self, but also because the latter's Essence Blood condensed Mutated Tissue, which had some kind of Iron Body Training effect.

The eyes of the two men collided in the air at this time, and they both exerted force to push outward, and they both retreated a few steps, pulling the distance apart again.

Chen Chuan's other hand slowly came over and rested on the handle of the knife, staring at the opposite side. From the previous blow, and the previous fighting, he had already guessed what Strength Technique Xu Xianwen was practicing.

One of the highest secret Internal energy of the Secret Serpent Cult, Mysterious Serpent Force!

A person who has cultivated this Strength Technique can exert all of his Strength from any point on his body, and most attacks can be shifted and diffused throughout the body and borne by the whole.

This meant that even if he tried his best to find an opportunity to hit the other person, it would be difficult to seriously injure him.

But…

At this moment, the sound of approaching vehicles suddenly came from a distance, and dense gunshots quickly rang out around. Xu Xianwen was clearly hit by several shots.

Just over two minutes ago, Wu Bei successfully communicated with the Processing Bureau using energy field-enhanced organisms, and the latter immediately notified the Mo Tie MountainSecurity guard system. As a result, the nearest patrolling armed vehicle team had arrived.

As soon as the convoy arrived, it identified and shot at the people present. Because Chen Chuan had the title of Processing Bureau, he was actively avoided, but Xu Xianwen had a string of wanted items on him, which was dazzling, so they all poured bullets at him and his men.

Xu Xianwen looked over coldly, and the person suddenly disappeared from the spot. The next moment, as an armed vehicle was overturned, those security guards were thrown into the air one by one. Almost simultaneously, a dent suddenly appeared on another Armed patrol vehicle, and it rolled out to the side in the air.

Those security personnel also rolled out, and just as a fist was about to slam into a Security guard lying on the ground, his wrist was suddenly grabbed by a hand, stopping only a line away from his forehead. However, the Security guard's face was still distorted by the pressure of the fist, and even a trace of cracks appeared on his goggles.

Xu Xianwen looked at Chen Chuan, who was holding his arm, and said, "You can't stop me."

At this time, he tilted his head back, and a gunshot rang out from close range. It was the Security guard who unhesitatingly raised his gun and shot him.

His head straightened little by little, and the bullet embedded in his forehead was pushed out, falling to the ground with a clanging sound. The wound on his forehead quickly squirmed and healed. He said with a sneer, "I said, you can't stop me."

Before he could finish speaking, a fist quickly magnified in front of his eyes, slamming into his cheek and sending him flying more than ten meters away.

Chen Chuan pulled out the knife stuck in the ground and slowly walked towards him, saying, "Is that so?"
