Atlas of Heaven and Man
#203 - Advantages
Chen Chuan's moves were simple and direct, all the most basic and straightforward attacks, pursuing speed and power, not playing any tricks with you.
Luo Qi gave up directly confronting him, choosing to change his moves on the fly, and immediately fell into a disadvantageous situation. He looked at the approaching gleam of the blade, his body twisting and retreating little by little as his muscles strained, trying his best to bring back the long sword that had been almost knocked aside, to parry Chen Chuan's incoming blade.
But in this kind of head-on attack, this is the most difficult time. The other person can always make a move before you, and you can only follow to parry. Then you will become more and more passive. With each move, the other person will seize a bit of advantage, and often the outcome can be seen in three or two moves.
At this time, Chen Chuan was just following the momentum to quickly deliver force. With a slight flick of his wrist, he made two more chops. Although they were both blocked, the force on the opposite sword became weaker and weaker, and the parries were also weaker each time.
By the time the fourth chop was made, under normal circumstances, it would definitely be able to hit the opponent. However, Luo Qi still hadn't lost his center of gravity. If he could avoid the vital points, it was possible to be injured but not die.
But just as his blade was about to touch Luo Qi's body, an accident occurred. At the last moment, the latter's body suddenly swayed sharply, instantly appearing several meters away from him. The tip of the blade only caught a wisp of air.
With this slash missing, it was as if the strength of his whole body had lost its fulcrum. Originally, it would have driven his center of gravity forward, even exposing a larger flaw, but his excellent coordination and the mutated tissues all over his body allowed him to forcibly stop the force, only the previous smooth offensive inevitably came to a halt.
On the other side, in a more distant position, Old Feng had been watching from behind when Chen Chuan went up. He saw that the two people didn't say a few words before they each drew their weapons. Then, in a flash, the two people disappeared one after another, and then he heard a series of clanging sounds of knives and swords that seemed to be connected in a line.
Where the two people were standing just now, the cement ground cracked, and large clumps of dirt and dust flew up and scattered, then entangled and swirled.
But after only a moment, the figures of the two people appeared again.
But the two sides were no longer standing where they were originally. The clothes on their bodies were all tightly pressed against their bodies due to the high-speed movement, as if they were pulled for a moment before returning to normal.
Chen Chuan looked forward. He didn't even see Luo Qi's sway just now clearly. This kind of explosive power is definitely not what the information showed. It is likely not originally possessed, but the effect of some kind of implant.
Luo Qi was also staring at Chen Chuan at this moment. He was very cautious about the modification of the implant, only doing tendon modifications on his waist, back, and legs, and it was very compatible with his own mutated tissues.
The effect was also obvious, just like what he showed just now, it could further increase the original speed.
However, continuous activation in a short period of time would put a very large load on the body. It was impossible to use it continuously. Also, his own reaction and coordination could not master such rapid continuous shifting, so, as he showed, he could only use it in surprise attacks and dodges.
And in the short moment just now, he used it twice in a row, which made him feel a slight swelling in his muscles.
At this time, he turned the long sword in his hand, thinking in his mind. He originally wanted to solve Chen Chuan as soon as they met, but now it seems that the latter is not afraid of death. Maybe he has been brainwashed by the Bureau of General Affairs.
He still wanted to keep his useful body to enjoy himself, and had no intention of perishing together with the other party. In that case, he could only delay the rhythm.
Surviving the effects of the medicine, or waiting until the person who was originally scheduled to arrive, that was all possible. He had something here that the other party was interested in and urgently needed. The other party could not abandon him.
Chen Chuan only glanced at his center of gravity and sword stance adjustment, and saw that he was planning to delay time.
The other party can pull away at any time. This is indeed a great test for him, meaning that even if he can seize a good offensive opportunity, the other party can dodge at the last moment, and will never lose. As the fight increases, this person's state will gradually return, and the difficulty of killing will be even greater.
In that case, he can't delay any longer. He can only put aside all worries and make a quick decision.
He raised his hand, took the protective mask on his face, and threw it aside. At the same time, his internal and external breathing were running together, guiding the Furnace Breathing Method.
It hasn't been a few days since he defeated Tan Wang, and he doesn't have much energy accumulated in himself, so the main consumption is the large amount of medicinal power that he just took and accumulated in his body.
What he took in advance was enough medicine to kill an ordinary fighter. Secondly, I was presenting a virtual state from the beginning, and now, through the breathing method, I have released all of these at once!
In just a moment, his breathing became scorching hot, and wisps of white air emerged from the black windbreaker on his body. He slowly raised the long knife and pointed it forward.
He had already tested it just now. There was no essential difference between Tan Wang and Luo Qi. Once the speed increased, if Tan Wang couldn't keep up, then Luo Qi couldn't keep up either.
Luo Qi saw that he seemed to be launching an attack again, and quickly became fully alert. However, in a flash, he found that Chen Chuan had actually disappeared from his sight.
He was shocked, his mind hadn't even turned around, but his body instinctively pulled away, which was a relatively correct choice at the moment. However, when he couldn't capture the enemy's offensive and the direction it was coming from, this was only a temporary delay.
Chen Chuan suddenly came to the front. In the process of that rapid movement, the originally tied short scarf broke free and fluttered backward, and the long knife placed behind him drew a large arc full of power and beauty under the impetus of his forward momentum, slashing towards where Luo Qi was!
Luo Qi's pupils instantly dilated. Relying on experience and feeling, he raised his long sword to parry, desperately deflecting the force on the knife with skill, and relying on the modified tendons to retreat.
He thrust his knife out, piercing directly through Luo Qi's left abdomen. Driven by the force of the blade, the outermost uniform, the inner protective suit, and even the mutated fascia offered no resistance, being pierced through like thin paper.
Luo Qi had already prepared for this. The knife didn't damage any vital organs, and the injury wasn't enough to kill him. In fact, due to his mutated internal organs, it didn't even count as a serious injury. His combat power remained intact, so he grabbed the knife to prevent it from widening the wound, while simultaneously slashing his sword at Chen Chuan.
At this moment, Chen Chuan made an unexpected move, actually abandoning his knife and charging forward, pressing his entire body against him. The violent impact caused Luo Qi to lean back, trying to steady himself, but his back foot stepped into empty air. He suddenly realized that as he had retreated, he had reached the riverbank.
With this collision, they couldn't stop their momentum, and both fell into the river. They were both tall and carried a lot of equipment, causing them to sink immediately.
As soon as Chen Chuan entered the water, he naturally switched to internal respiration. He then turned nimbly and came behind Luo Qi, wrapping his arm around the latter's neck.

Luo Qi was shocked. Combatants were not ordinary people. With just a little force in his arm, he could crush a person's neck without having to strangle them to death.
He hurriedly propped himself up with one hand, preventing his relatively fragile neck from facing the force of the arm, while desperately trying to break free from the restraints of Chen Chuan's other limbs, even ignoring the knife wound in his abdomen.
However, there was nothing to brace against here, and as soon as he exerted force, Chen Chuan would easily sway him, causing his strength to deviate and his movements to become distorted.
The most difficult thing was that he didn't have Chen Chuan's method of internal respiration and could only hold his breath. But without oxygen, this constant exertion was a tremendous burden.
Chen Chuan had trained in the water for a month and was very adapted to this environment. He knew how to exert force here and how to use the water flow to increase his advantage.
This was essentially his home turf.
He wasn't worried about Luo Qi's struggles at all, letting him exert himself desperately. He only needed to make a slight threatening movement, and the other party would have to treat it with utmost caution.
Under these circumstances, Luo Qi quickly couldn't hold on any longer, and his movements soon became weak and feeble. After spotting an opportunity, Chen Chuan wrapped his arm around the man's neck, gently tightened it, and felt something break in his arm.
On the riverbank, Lao Feng was rushing over. He had just seen a sudden splash, and then the two people on the shore had disappeared. Realizing that the two had fallen into the water, he grabbed his pistol and ran over, standing on the pier and aiming downwards. However, the circles of ripples quickly subsided.
After staring for a while, he suddenly sensed something again and turned to look at the other side. He saw a hand emerge from the water, grabbing onto the iron ladder on the bank. Chen Chuan then emerged from within, climbing upwards, the moisture on his body evaporating under the scorching heat, wisps of white air rising upwards.
His other hand was holding Luo Qi's collar, the latter's head drooping limply, his limbs hanging down powerlessly, appearing to have lost all signs of life.
Seeing this scene, Lao Feng couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, a smile appearing on his face. He quickly ran over, reached out and grabbed Chen Chuan's arm, helping him up.
After Chen Chuan was completely ashore, he looked at the already lifeless Luo Qi who was being dragged up. Even though he had known that Chen Chuan could deal with the latter, seeing Luo Qi actually dead like this, he couldn't help but feel a sense of unreality.
Chen Chuan stepped forward and pulled the Snow Monarch Saber from his body, flicked it, and asked, "Special Envoy, do we need to take the body back?"
Lao Feng put the gun back into the holster at his waist and said, "It's best to take it back. Old Cao might still have use for it, and we can't forget those materials. Let's take them away together."
