Atlas of Heaven and Man

Chen Chuan immediately felt that things were a bit unusual. He asked, "Commissioner Cao, is it just me being arranged to go?"

Commissioner Cao said, "I will arrange for Old Feng to go with you."

Chen Chuan asked, "Can I ask the reason for doing this?"

Commissioner Cao said in a deep voice, "Luo Qi likely holds records of his private transactions with government officials and the Molan Corporation over the years. He should also be carrying a large sum of gold certificates. Using these, certain people within the government will choose to accept him.

And once he enters the government and someone promotes him, it won't be long before he transforms into a high-ranking official, sitting across from us. Therefore, we must eliminate him before he is accepted."

Chen Chuan pondered for a moment and nodded, saying, "Commissioner Cao, I understand. I will set off immediately."

Commissioner Cao said, "It's two thirty now. If you depart from the Patrol Bureau, you should be able to arrive there in half an hour. The agreed time is four o'clock, but it's possible that the contact person will arrive early, so you may only have half an hour to resolve the problem."

After a pause, he added, "As the head of the Action Department, Luo Qi hasn't fought anyone in a long time. His condition won't be better than Tan Wang, whom you dealt with before, but he has equipment to compensate. So, if you need anything, you can ask now. As long as it's beneficial to this battle, I can approve it for you."

Chen Chuan understood his meaning. As long as he did this, even if he made a slightly excessive request, it could be granted. He said, "Alright, Commissioner Cao, then I will go prepare now."

Commissioner Cao said in a deep voice, "You can do your job without worry. There will be no record of this matter afterward."

Chen Chuan looked at him and nodded.

Then he turned and left the meeting room. Actually, whether or not there was a record didn't matter. There were plenty of constraints in the world, if not this, then that. When he became strong, he could naturally break free.

After exiting, Old Feng was already waiting for him there. Accompanied by the latter, he requested a large batch of medicine from the logistics personnel.

This time, he was facing a true Third Threshold opponent with complete combat power, and he only had half an hour. Therefore, this time, he unceremoniously asked for many things, and also obtained the best protective suit currently available.

Ten minutes later, he got into the car and sped off towards the north of the city.

On the way, he kept drinking water from the kettle, while tightly holding the Snow Monarch Blade. This time, it wasn't just water, but also a lot of medicine added to it.

Perhaps others would worry about the damage, but the existence of Second Self allowed him to avoid the harm of the medicine and use it with confidence.

Old Feng looked at him with some concern and reminded, "Cadet Chen, try to use less medicine in the future."

Chen Chuan sincerely thanked him, saying, "Thank you, Special Envoy Feng, I know."

Old Feng hummed in agreement. He said in a deep voice, "Even if Luo Qi doesn't possess those materials, he can't be left alive. He should be eliminated as soon as possible. As the head of the Molan Corporation's external action department, I have records of the things he has done over the years, including a large number of civilian killings.

Some were not due to company dispatch, but simply due to his personal emotional venting. Such a person without limits should not exist in this world. Although we cannot represent justice, we cannot tolerate such evil."

"It's just ahead."

Old Feng said, "If you go over now, he should think we are the ones sent to meet him. Can you use this?"

Chen Chuan thought for a moment and said, "I'm afraid I can't use it. He should recognize me. Even if I wear a mask now, he can recognize me by my figure with his eyesight. So there is no chance of a surprise attack, only a head-on battle."

Old Feng's expression became serious. He said, "Then be careful. I will support you from behind. If you feel something is wrong, retreat towards the car. I should be able to block him a few times with my marksmanship."

"Thank you, Special Envoy. I won't be polite when needed."

Chen Chuan threw the empty kettle aside, put on a mask and top hat, and tied his scarf. This was to prevent various poisonous mists and potions on his body. This thing is often unavoidable. Although Second Self can resist, he tried to use other methods to resist it as much as possible.

Then he picked up the warmed-up Snow Monarch Blade, pushed open the car door, got out of the car, looked at the warm afternoon sun, took a box from Old Feng's hand, and walked along the smooth and open cement road towards the container dock area.

Last time, after defeating Tan Wang, Second Self increased the overlap time by five hours in one go, and after annihilating the Mutual Aid Society group, it increased by another two hours, now reaching fifteen hours.

But this time, he only had half an hour.

However, if he could win this battle, the increased time should be even more, and he should be one step closer to the goal of twenty-four hours of overlap.

This kind of opportunity is actually very rare, especially before entering the central city. There are very few opponents who can face each other head-on with support and logistics.

Therefore, the battle strategy he set in his heart was to exchange injuries for injuries, life for life. Pure skill would definitely not be Luo Qi's opponent. Only by using an attack-for-attack approach could he win this battle.

He had seen Luo Qi's information before.

This person was not from Wu Yi, and could be called a talent who came out of the orthodox old-style inheritance. The main reason he was able to sit in the position of head of the action department was because of his own ability, not because of martial power, and he was famous for his dark heart, ruthless methods, and lack of bottom line. He was responsible for many of the Molan Corporation's dirty work over the years.

However, there has indeed been no record of fighting in recent years. Once a fighter neglects fighting, even if it is only a few days, his condition will decline rapidly. If he hasn't fought for several years, he certainly won't be able to maintain his peak state from back then.

However, this person can use implants and drugs to make up for his shortcomings, so he still needs to be careful.

Near the dock, Luo Qi was waiting there, slowly smoking a cigarette.

He was wearing black gloves, a Molan Corporation uniform, a long sword on his waist, and a metal box, a simple underwater respirator, and swimming fins were thrown aside.

At this time, he noticed Chen Chuan walking over and looked over from a distance.

Chen Chuan had not seen this person before, but had seen a photo. Luo Qi was forty-six years old now, but now he looked only about thirty years old. This person had good facial features, with a hint of gloom between his eyebrows, and always had a straight face, giving him a very gloomy feeling.

As he walked over carrying the Snow Monarch Blade and the box, Luo Qi flicked away the cigarette in his hand and stood there casually, saying, "You guys came quickly."

Chen Chuan said, "In a hurry."

Luo Qi's gaze fell on the box he was carrying and said, "Did you bring what I asked for?"

Chen Chuan put the box down, then stuck the Snow Monarch Blade into the ground and said, "No need to pretend, Supervisor Luo, you should have recognized me at first glance."

Luo Qi raised his eyebrows and chuckled playfully, "Smart." His gaze turned to Chen Chuan's back, "What, you came alone?"

Chen Chuan looked up at him: "Of course not."

Luo Qi said, "I see."

He moved his neck and shoulders. He stared at Chen Chuan, "If someone wants to deal with me, more than just a few of you would come. So I guess someone else is going to intercept me to prevent me from entering the government, right?"

Chen Chuan did not give him an answer. He grabbed the hilt of the Snow Monarch Blade. As the person walked forward, the blade was slowly drawn out of the scabbard.

Time was short, and he would not waste words with the other party.

Before this, and during the process of coming here, he had been communicating with the Snow Monarch Blade. Even when meeting Commissioner Cao, he did not put it down, and now it had been adjusted to the point where he could connect the blade strength at any time.

Luo Qi looked at him and said to himself, "The person from the Secret Snake Sect from the central city seems to have been taken down by you. Interesting. It seems that you used the medicine given to you by the General Administration at that time. You should be the person pushed out by the higher-ups, right? Well, that's right. I want to see how long your medicine can last."

He reached out and grabbed the hilt of the sword on his waist, and brushed the long sword there. The black blade had no reflection under the sun.

Chen Chuan slowly walked up, lifted the Snow Monarch Blade, and the two began to just look at each other, but as he approached a certain distance, the two moved almost at the same time, and at this moment, it seemed that the two disappeared together from a distance.

Luo Qi chose to hold the sword with both hands and stabbed straight with the sword, while Chen Chuan held the knife with both hands and slashed down from the front. With this knife down, it seemed that he had no intention of dodging.

Seeing that he did not dodge or avoid, Luo Qi's speed seemed to be comparable to Chen Chuan's, but after only taking two steps, with the movement of the transformed tendons under his feet, the speed suddenly became faster at this time!

However, Chen Chuan's expression did not change when he saw this scene, and the posture of chopping down with the knife did not change at all.

Luo Qi narrowed his eyes. If it continued like this, he would definitely be able to stab Chen Chuan's chest. Even if Chen Chuan was wearing a protective suit, he was confident that he could pierce the latter.

However, when Chen Chuan still didn't dodge or avoid at the end, and seemed to be willing to perish with him, he had to temporarily change his move before the moment of contact, turned his wrist upwards, raised the sword body vertically, and deflected the chopped knife body.

However, because the change of move was hasty, and Chen Chuan was unswerving, and he held it with both hands and exerted force fully, he only felt a shock in the sword body, as if it was about to fly away from his wrist, and a force was transmitted directly into his body.

He only felt a tightness in his chest and quickly mobilized the alienated tissues in his body to absorb this force layer by layer. At the same time, he used the toughness of the implanted tendons to drive his body to step back a few steps to take advantage of this opportunity to dissolve the force.

Chen Chuan also felt a force transmitted from the sword, and penetrated into his body, but when Second Self slightly etherealized, he himself was not affected in any way, and with a backhand twist of his waist, it was another oblique cut, and a blade of light went straight towards Luo Qi's neck!
