Atlas of Heaven and Man

Facing the spear flying towards him, Chen Chuan stood there calmly with his saber, seemingly without any intention of dodging.

Just as it was about to hit his forehead, a long staff suddenly reached out from the side, caught the spear, and with a gentle flick, sent it flying far away.

Yuan Qiuyuan retracted his long staff, looking at the spear-thrower with a provocative glance.

The retainer samurai remained silent, making no other movements after throwing the spear, and continued to walk towards them.

Chen Chuan noticed that as the distance closed, the three people's speed and rhythm were obviously increasing, and their breathing was also adjusting and quickening.

Qin Qingque on the right seemed unaffected; she steadily raised her gun, fired a shot, pulled the bolt, and continued to fire.

After the Iron Demon and his men withstood the gunfire and approached within a hundred and fifty meters, the two men behind the Iron Demon once again took the spears from their backs and threw them towards Chen Chuan and the others.

As the three of them rushed forward together, Yuan Qiuyuan and Qin Qingque suddenly felt a pressure coming towards them, and their breathing stagnated. They didn't know where this pressure came from, but they felt it.

Chen Chuan's eyes flashed. He felt it too. As someone skilled in field manipulation, he immediately recognized that it was the combined field of the three men enveloping them, creating immense mental pressure.

He had only seen this technique in资料 (zīliào - material/resources), but this was the first time he had encountered it in reality.

This was because it required the field of those initiating it to be highly consistent. Sometimes, they even had to abandon themselves to completely conform to others, which was rare among third-limit fighters.

But considering that the opponents still maintained the master-servant relationship of the old era, it became reasonable.

At this time, if they allowed the opponent to continue to exert pressure, it would definitely affect the mental state of their teammates, and they would have to expend more Divine Constant Force to resist it.

They had to remember that this was the Intersection Ground. Besides the actual battle, they also had to consider the problem of increasing or decreasing activity index. Mental stability was more important than anything else.

His Snow Lord Saber was already unsheathed, and he stepped forward, deflecting the falling spears while actively迎去 (yíng qù - went to meet) the three men. At the same time, his field was released outwards to hold them back.

At the moment when the two sides' fields came into contact, he felt like he had hit an incredibly thick barrier, deep, stable, seamless, and utterly still.

A biological field is the information aggregate of a fighter. Although each is different, they have some kind of regular fluctuation, but the opponent was not like that.

It seemed that the opponent was not simply human, but something else.

Admittedly, those who mastered techniques would make changes, but he could feel that the opponent had not made any changes in form, but was originally like this.

Even if the other side was not sprinting at full speed, the distance of a hundred meters was crossed in an instant. Just as he stepped forward, the Iron Demon directly in front of him was already close, holding his spear level and thrusting it at him!

Chen Chuan saw the spear tip aimed at his chest and neck, and seized the opportunity to hold his saber outwards to block.

Because the opponent was charging towards him, although his momentum was fierce, he had abandoned changes. If the spear could not be retracted in time, he would push his saber in, slashing straight along the spear towards the center line!

However, at the moment when the saber and spear collided, a spark erupted.

At the same time, a powerful force penetrated into him. This force was complete and flawless. Although the异化 (yìhuà - mutated/alienated) tissue in his body began to guide and dissolve it, it was tough and凝固 (nínggù - solidified/congealed), and difficult to eliminate no matter how much it was磨消 (móxiāo - grind away/wear down).

And if it couldn't be completely eliminated, he could only choose to endure it.

His eyes were deep and calm. Was this the表現力 (biǎoxiànlì - expressive force/manifestation) of a fighter whose spirit and body were almost perfect, as described in the资料 (zīliào - material/resources)? An ordinary third-limit fighter might have been scattered under the pressure of the field just now, coupled with such a force attack.

But with his current physical fitness, he was able to withstand and offset these forces, and likewise, his force was also transmitted to the opponent.

Their feet sank, both sinking into the mud at the same time, and a burst of energy spread outwards.

However, this did not cause them too much interference.

The Iron Demon pulled back with his backhand, and the spear retracted. His body didn't seem to move much, and the spearhead stabbed towards Chen Chuan's waist again.

Chen Chuan was already prepared, holding the saber with both hands and striking downwards, deflecting the spear. Under the impact of the劲力 (jìnglì - force/strength), their bodies shook slightly again with a clang.

After a moment of seeming pause, they engaged in another交击 (jiāojī - clash/exchange of blows).

This kind of fight was a fierce拼 (pīn - fight/struggle) of strength and each other's body's endurance. Because under the impact of劲力 (jìnglì - force/strength), both sides were restricted, almost losing the space to transfer and运力 (yùnlì - exert force).

In the limited adjustment, they didn't have much room to display superb techniques, or pure strength overwhelmed technique, and they could only硬撼 (yìnghàn - hard hit) each other blow by blow.

And each blow from both sides had to bring enough劲力 (jìnglì - force/strength) impact to the opponent. If there was a slight decline in force, then the opponent's next blow could adjust faster than you, exerting more pressure on you.

Chen Chuan had a way to break this offensive. That was to use his Second Self to withstand it. Doing so would immediately dissipate the force entering his body, allowing him to seize the upper hand.

However, he had never encountered an opponent who required him to mobilize his entire body's strength with each strike. This battle was a form of training for his body, his spirit, and even his domain.

Of course, he would use it when necessary. The Second Self was a part of himself, and he used it without any hesitation.

Most importantly, he had a feeling that the opponent's power was far from what he was currently displaying. Even if it was just for this reason, he would wait and observe instead of rushing to attack.

At this moment, sounds of fighting came from both the left and right sides. His two teammates were also facing their respective opponents. From now on, if either side had someone who couldn't hold on or retreated, the entire balanced situation might be disrupted, and one side might quickly fall into defeat.

However, he trusted his teammates, and with the observation of his domain, he didn't need to look specifically to clearly understand the situation of both of them.

Yuan Qiuyuan's side was filled with fervor and intensity, while Qin Qingque's side was swift and agile. Overall, both were very stable, and at this moment, they were suppressing their opponents. Even if there were slight problems, he could immediately detect them and make adjustments.

After Yuan Qiuyuan and Qin Qingque faced their respective opponents, they both discovered, as if by agreement, that these two retainer samurai were physically strong, had a solid foundation, and were experienced in combat. There were no obvious flaws in either their offense or defense.

The newest novels are first published on 69shu.

Such opponents, even people with higher skill than them, would not be able to defeat them in a short time. Therefore, they all suppressed the thought of quickly winning and then helping their teammates, and instead slowly looked for opportunities.

The two retainer samurai behaved very dull during the battle, without revealing any emotions. Their duty was to share the pressure for Tie Yao and intercept the enemy, and they didn't need to do anything special, or even win. They just needed to wait for Tie Yao to determine the victory or defeat.

However, at this moment, they felt a little surprised in their hearts.

Because in the past, the combatants who fought against Tie Yao usually couldn't withstand the abundant and powerful force that erupted with each strike. After only a few exchanges, they had to retreat backward and then take evasive maneuvers.

But the more they did this, the less they could persist for a long time, and the battle would be resolved before long. However, they did not expect that this time's opponent was steadily confronting the commander.

However, even so, they didn't need to worry, because the commander's strength was far more than what he was showing.

As Chen Chuan and Tie Yao's powers collided, and the force sank and spread, a noticeable pit appeared where the two were standing. Because the two were not moving, the area became larger and larger. If viewed from a distance, only the upper halves of their bodies could be seen above the ground.

After clashing for about several minutes, Chen Chuan discovered that the opponent's power was gradually increasing. His eyes flashed, and he also released the restraints of the altered tissue, allowing his own power to rise as well.

With the gradual input of continuous power, the collision between the two was no longer as simple as it was at the beginning. The weapons moved swiftly, but the force transmitted during the clashes became increasingly strong.

First, a dull sound of air being torn apart was emitted in the air, followed by a burst of energy when the two collided. Often, with one contact, the surrounding mud was pushed outward, like ripples on the water, spreading outward in circles.

This battle scene also made Yuan Qiuyuan and Qin Qingque look sideways, but they quickly adjusted themselves and did not let themselves be distracted.

Fortunately, although the opponents they faced were very tough and stable, they were obviously not the kind of people who liked to seize opportunities. Even if they showed some fluctuations, they still maintained their previous performance.

But from another aspect, it can also be said that this shows that they have an unusual trust in Tie Yao, so they feel that they don't need to take the initiative to do anything at all, just wait for Tie Yao to win.

Although Chen Chuan and Tie Yao collided many times, and each strike mobilized the altered tissue of their entire bodies, he did not feel a bit exhausted.

The Zhou Yuan Force Method allowed his altered tissue to cover his entire body. On this basis, it was continuously tempered by special drugs, and his progress was very fast.

To be honest, even without relying on the Second Self, just fighting like this, continuing for a day or two would not be a problem. He believed that the opponent was the same.

But he knew that the opponent definitely didn't want to drag on with him for a long time, because the opponent had changed his previous evasive strategy and came over so quickly because he had been deceived by the intelligence. It seemed that time was not on the opponent's side, so the opponent should change his strategy before long.

Tie Yao moved faster than he thought.

After several more collisions, he finally knocked the opponent's spear aside with a knife, only to find that the power that should have slowed down the opponent's body did not seem to have any effect at all. The spear swayed, opened the long knife, and then thrust forward, stabbing in front of him!
