Atlas of Heaven and Earth
Chapter 387: Ritual Markings

Xu Xianwen's perception was quite sharp. Seeing that this still couldn't do anything to him, he immediately changed tactics, retreating to a slightly further distance and constantly throwing various broken objects from the old temple at Chen Chuan.

Chen Chuan was not careless, wielding his blade to block the objects flying towards him.

But looking at the things that were casually thrown over, they contained heavy and changing Internal energy, which showed that Xu Xianwen also had a throwing skill.

He became more careful because he knew that this Internal energy would not be without purpose; it should only be a prelude, with the real killing move hidden behind it.

Sure enough, after a moment, he heard a muffled sound, and a gust of wind pressure came from the front. A huge, glaring statue of a deity gradually magnified in front of him. Xu Xianwen had pushed over the broken seated statue from the shrine.

This statue was five or six meters tall, with six arms stretching outwards, each hand holding a weapon, almost blocking a large part of his vision. He did not dodge but raised the blade with both hands and suddenly slashed forward!

A round Blade flash bloomed in the old temple, instantly splitting the huge statue in two, and deliberately using Internal energy to make the statue crumble inch by inch and roll backward.

Just as the fragments were flying outwards, he suddenly noticed something. Raising the blade, he deflected the staff-spear that was stabbing from the side. However, the Strength on it felt unusual, as if it had been thrown.

Then, his brow twitched, and he suddenly felt Xu Xianwen approaching. The latter stretched out one hand to push away the blade, while the other hand poked towards him.

Chen Chuan was not flustered at all, raising his hand and drawing the short blade from his waist, slashing several times at the opponent. Because a simple stab could be defended, these few strikes used a dragging force.

Surprisingly, Xu Xianwen did not dodge at all, allowing the blade to cut his arms and head, his probing hand recklessly coming towards his face.

He calmly tilted his head, feeling a sharp aura brush past his cheek. At this moment, he lost the space to slash, so he immediately abandoned the blade, clenched his fist, and slammed it into the other man's head.

With a bang, Xu Xianwen was sent flying, and the wall of the old temple was immediately smashed into a huge gap. Because it was gradually approaching dawn, the light from outside poured in, and the interior of the old temple suddenly became much brighter.

As Chen Chuan bent down to pick up the short blade, he felt that there was no movement on the Boundary Token. Obviously, it had been destroyed. It seemed that Xu Xianwen's actions just now were for this purpose.

However, he didn't care about this matter. This was not something he needed to protect, so he didn't even consider it when dodging just now.

Moreover, the Processing Bureau must already know their location and direction. Even without these, they could be found by following the traces of their path.

He walked out of the breach with his blade in hand, and behind him, half of the old temple wall collapsed with a rumble, sending out billowing smoke and dust, causing his jacket to flutter.

Xu Xianwen had already gotten up from the ground. He was standing on the edge of the hillside, staring at Chen Chuan, wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth. His arms, face, and even Chest were cut with strips of knife marks, the flesh rolled over, revealing the bone, but it could be seen that the wounds were closing rapidly.

However, what Chen Chuan inflicted on him was not these injuries. Due to the ritual effect, the blood he shed was greatly lost, and he didn't know where it went. It was initially estimated that about one-tenth was missing.

He didn't care about this loss. Under the release of his heart Essence Blood, the missing blood was quickly created, and he returned to a perfect state in a short period.

He had a lasso hanging on his right hand, with the other end tied to the staff-spear. Now, with just a tug, he retrieved the staff-spear. He had made preparations when he dared to throw this Weapon out.

However, at this moment, he did not choose to fight Chen Chuan again. After taking a deep look at the latter, he suddenly turned around and jumped down the mountain.

Chen Chuan followed, and he saw an open space in front of him, followed by a clear lake surrounded by reeds. White reed flowers swayed in the wind over the lake, and on one side of the lake, the morning sun was about to rise, dyeing the lake surface with a layer of golden-red color.

He watched Xu Xianwen's figure quickly move away on the hillside, jumping down and quickly chasing after him.

On the other side of the hill, an Off-road vehicle was driving rapidly through the forest. The man sitting in the back seat kept urging the driver: "Faster, faster!"

He was Hu Ying, a reporter for Kuaibu News Hotspots.

He had just learned through internal news that Mo Tie Mountain was attacked by armed thugs, and one of those who participated in the resistance was the person who beat Wei Wusheng to death outside the arena.

Knowing this, he immediately realized that this was an opportunity!

Because the area was shielded and deliberately concealed this time, it was difficult for the outside world to know the first-hand news.

And they happened to be nearby, so he immediately asked the driver to drive around the route where the two were suspected of chasing, although this might be dangerous, but if he could successfully report this matter, he would get unprecedented returns.

"We are driving towards the two people, along the battle route of two Third Limit. Oh my god, what is that..."

On the bumpy and vibrating car body, he saw a building on a hill in the distance collapsing suddenly, he couldn't help getting excited. Look, it must be them!

"Everyone, can you imagine?

The places these two people passed were in a mess, walls were pushed down, vehicles were overturned, trees were broken, it's unbelievable, they are simply like two Feng Hai Company produced Iron Horse armed trucks!"

After smoothly making an advertisement for the sponsor, he naturally switched into his own emotions, "I feel like my whole body is shaking, I'm chasing in the direction they are in, but I don't know if doing so will anger them, maybe the next moment they will suddenly jump over from my car and take my life..."

Speaking, he pushed the driver, "Buddy, don't be afraid, I'm with you!"

The driver was driving nervously, and his push made him shiver, almost driving the car into a pit. He yelled, "Can you not touch me!" But this only attracted a burst of unrestrained and excited laughter.

As he reported, more and more people noticed him, and the number of viewers behind the Boundary Token was also rapidly climbing, especially after learning that one of the participants in this incident was Chen Chuan, it aroused the interest of more people. After learning about this, the audience who watched the battle in Arena last time quickly joined in.

The Processing Bureau also noticed this situation at this time. Team Guan glanced at it and asked, "Have our people arrived yet?"

"They're on their way there!"

Team Guan thought for a while and decisively ordered: "Allocate some resources to that reporter, let him see clearly, and first understand the situation there."

Although Chen Chuan started later, this time, because the terrain was open and the field of vision was unobstructed, he gradually increased his Speed and quickly shortened the distance between the two, so he raised his hand and threw several pebbles.

Xu Xianwen noticed the sound of the wind behind him and immediately moved to the side to avoid it, but this inevitably reduced his Speed. He quickly noticed the movement of chasing behind him, he shouted, holding the spear in one hand, and stabbed back!

Chen Chuan tilted his head and flashed, pushing the blade straight forward. Xu Xianwen shook his strength, holding the spear horizontally in front, blocking the blade, and with a collision of Internal energy, the surrounding grass fell in a large area.

Chen Chuan, taking advantage of the unabated momentum, pressed the blade up, pushing Xu Xianwen back several steps, followed by continuous and rapid powerful slashes.

Xu Xianwen had suffered a hidden loss in the previous Internal energy collision, and at this moment he had to retreat while Parry, stepping out one deep pit after another, which made it difficult for him to escape quickly.

Through the previous fight, Chen Chuan had almost become familiar with Xu Xianwen's style of attack, and roughly understood the latter's Breathing pattern.

Although this Internal energy change was very remarkable, after understanding what Internal energy the person practiced, he knew what method to use to target it.

He didn't need to think about anything temporarily. Several teacher had already provided him with mature suggestions, but knowing is one thing, and whether he can use it in battle is another matter.

He took a breath. Through the battle just now, the results of his Cultivation during this period have been revealed, and the Mutated Tissue all over his body is in an active and excited state, which is the best state.

After slashing several times in succession, he noticed a gap in the opponent's breathing transition, so he shouted loudly, the Mutated Tissue all over his body rotated layer by layer, gathering Internal energy on the blade, and then slashed down!

With a "click" sound, the ceremonial sword was directly cut off by him, and the force of the blade continued, falling from the midline, cutting a deep and long opening on Xu Xianwen's head, face, Chest, and abdomen.

However, when the front end of the blade cut in, he felt that the muscles there were full of toughness and did not break in too deeply.

Xu Xianwen's face was ferocious at the moment. He threw his hand and threw two broken spear shafts towards Chen Chuan. Chen Chuan turned the blade and pushed them away.

Xu Xianwen then jumped backward, creating a distance between him and Chen Chuan. Blood kept flowing down his body, dripping into the soil under his feet, but in just a blink of an eye, those wounds quickly closed and healed under the nourishment of Essence Blood.

At this time, he showed Chen Chuan a grim smile, and tore off his already broken coat, revealing the beautiful muscle lines and solid, full upper body, and he could see that there were ritual tattoos on his Chest and back.

This is the Secret Serpent Cult's embedded religious ritual, which can not only enhance his vitality, but also bear a large number of Drugs, even if he is seriously injured, he can recover quickly.

But the real function is more than that.

He watched Chen Chuan holding the blade forward again, took a deep breath, and at the same time, the ritual lines on his body disappeared, as if submerged into the body, and what followed was the appearance of almost blue scale-like Mutated Tissue on his cheeks and body surface, covering his exposed body.

At this time, he crossed his arms, directly blocking the slashing Long Sword, and the place of contact made Clashing sounds like gold and iron.
