Atlas of Heaven and Man

The face of the commander was covered by a metal mask, making it impossible to see his specific expression, but the gaze behind the mask was fixed on Chen Chuan at this moment.

After Chen Chuan leaped into the air, he raised the spear in his hand, aiming it at the direction Chen Chuan was coming from. To his right, the vice-general, who had already switched to a new horse, also raised his spear.

The two spears, one on the left and one on the right, almost completely blocked his path forward. Moreover, there was a faint light flickering on the tips of both spears.

Although Chen Chuan's sudden charge was unexpected, it still took a bit of time for him to reach them. For people like them, that was enough time to adjust and gather their strength.

They firmly believed that with their combined efforts, even opponents of the same level would not be able to break through their blockade and joint attack.

The sacrifices of those warriors and soldiers were unimportant. As long as they were still alive, they could continue to recruit and conscript.

In their view, even ten duty-bound warriors were not as valuable as a fighter who had reached their level. Furthermore, killing this person would greatly increase their chances of breaking through the rift. In their eyes, this exchange was worthwhile.

But just as the two of them thrust their spears forward, they simultaneously felt an extreme sense of danger, causing their hairs to stand on end. The feeling... was coming from behind!

After Chen Bitong came down, he didn't wait on the side. Instead, he went around in a large circle, flanking to the rear of these people. Relying on his rich experience and the special nature of his strength, no one noticed him along the way.

When he saw Chen Chuan draw his blade, he knew the opportunity had arrived, so he decisively attacked at this moment.

The general had not expected someone from above to charge down, let alone that an enemy would come from the heavily guarded rear at this time.

At this moment, everyone, including themselves, had invested all their power in the front, leaving them with almost no resistance to the attack from behind.

However, as warriors only one step away from exceeding the limit, they did not lose their composure even in the face of such a sudden situation. Instead, they took timely self-rescue measures in that instant.

However, the two of them simultaneously revealed expressions of shock and anger, because this palm didn't feel like anything at all. The power on it was like a bubble that would burst with a touch.

Chen Bitong was still far away and hadn't rushed to the front. The palm he had just sent out was launched using rift traversal.

Although he was currently several kilometers away from the rift, he wasn't unable to use the rift for evasion and traversal within this range. However, the farther the distance, the slower the time it took to enter and exit, which was almost useless in battles between those of the same level.

But now he deliberately used this point, traversing over a longer distance, and struck out with an attack. Because his spirit and power arrived at the front first, the two people in front felt the threat, and inevitably overreacted.

He used the weakness of slow traversal in this place, and now it played an extremely wonderful role. Following this palm, he left a phantom image in place, while he himself truly appeared behind the two people, and then pushed out with both palms, striking them on their bodies with two bangs!

The two of them never expected that the person behind them would use a feint in that critical moment. But this trick was a calculated scheme. They didn't dare to gamble that the opponent wouldn't exert any force, causing a misjudgment in their own adjustments.

At this time, as the real offensive arrived, they were no longer able to adjust. As a powerful force rushed into their bodies, their spines and limb joints burst with a series of cracking sounds.

The power of the String Void Force ran wild in their bodies, causing a series of destruction. This caused the faint light flickering in front of the spears to dissipate immediately. Not only did this power disappear, but even the strength within their bodies could not be contained.

And at this very moment, the blade that Chen Chuan had raised high finally fell.

The blade light flashed and disappeared.

Chen Chuan brushed past the commander, and after going out dozens of meters, his feet landed with a bang, and he stood still, still maintaining the posture of slashing out with his blade.

Behind him, the commander froze for a moment, then half of his head and chest slid off his body and fell to the ground with a bang.

At the same time, the large flag symbolizing the commander also had its flagpole broken, falling down with it, and stirring up a large cloud of dust around it.

Chen Chuan then slowly raised his hand to sheathe his blade and stood up straight.

He had originally only intended to cut off the opponent's head, considering that these people were particularly different and seemed to have transformed into another creature. He was worried that after cutting off their heads, they could reattach them or change bodies, so this time he simply split them open vertically and used force to shatter the brain tissue inside.

At the same time, on the other side with the vice-general, Chen Bitong landed a successful blow and then launched a series of more than a dozen punches at him in that instant. Even if the String Void Force was not primarily for killing, the opponent could not withstand such a strong impact.

With the last punch hitting the back of his head, with a crack, the man's eyes burst open, and his head slumped softly to one side. Although the armor bound his body, the body inside was already a mass of爛泥.

Chen Chuan glanced at the scene at this time. According to their expected situation, they thought the best outcome would only be to kill one of the commander or vice-general, and it was possible that they would pay some price themselves.

But they didn't expect that the two of them would cooperate so well, actually killing both the commander and vice-general on the spot.

Originally, in order to avoid being trapped in a heavy encirclement afterward, they planned to retreat immediately after succeeding. But looking at the current situation, with the death of the two generals, there was almost no one on the field who could restrain them.

Several duty-bound warriors in front had also been撞的 in the collision and had almost lost their combat power. The remaining people were also panicked. These people were all the backbone of the army. As long as these people were killed, the remaining ordinary soldiers would be even less of a threat to them.

So he looked at Chen Bitong and consulted the latter's opinion. However, Chen Bitong shook his head at him.

His mind turned. Chen Bitong was experienced. Since he didn't approve of this approach, there must be a reason. He wouldn't insist on it.

Without any hesitation, he immediately sheathed his blade and quickly turned back towards the rift.

When passing by the commander's body, his eyes fell on the Auxiliary Machine General's saber. It had a black handle, a vermilion scabbard, and various exquisite patterns on it, hanging with tassels and jade stones, looking very gorgeous. So, in the process of moving forward, he used the Snow Monarch Blade to pick it up and took the saber with him.

Chen Bitong tore off the fallen flag and returned to the rift with Chen Chuan.

Not long after they returned to the top of the mountain, they heard a rumbling sound of artillery fire coming from behind. Looking back, the landing point of the shells was in the location where they had been before. At this moment, clusters of fire and smoke were rising in that area.

Chen Chuan asked, "Aren't they afraid of blowing up their own people?"

Chen Bitong shook his head and said, "They should have already known the situation in front before making this judgment. If we had continued to stay there just now, their losses would have been even greater if they hadn't opened fire decisively."

Chen Chuan turned his mind and couldn't help but nod.

Chen Bitong added, "Captain Chen, with the death of an army commander, they will definitely become more crazy. They may launch an all-out attack next. Be prepared to meet it."

The latest novel is first published at Six Ninety-Nine Book Bar!

Chen Chuan hummed in agreement. At this time, he tried to feel it. After such a long time of cultivating the Spiritual Illumination Reflection Method, with essence constantly penetrating into his body, his spirit had indeed grown a lot.

And the previous several high-intensity battles had extremely stimulated his spirit, especially the successful killing of the opposing commander just now, which had greatly pushed his spirit up a level.

He seemed to feel something at this moment, but it was still a little short.

He thought for a moment and asked, "Teacher Chen, what is the name of the method that can move power with the spirit?"

Chen Bitong slowly said, "There is a sentence in the old-era classics, 'A little spiritual illumination knows my nature, true awakening saves the world and changes fate,' so you can call it 'Spiritual Sense'."

"Spiritual Sense?"

Chen Chuan let out a long breath.

At this moment, they heard the sound of propeller blades. Looking up, they saw an airship appearing in the distant sky.

Chen Bitong's expression was solemn. He said, "Captain Chen, retreat inside."

Chen Chuan said okay and retreated to the rear without hesitation.

Less than five minutes after they retreated, bursts of huge explosions erupted within the rift.

After that, more shells whistled and fell towards here, but the artillery fire behind had extended to here.

At this moment, at least twenty artillery pieces were simultaneously pouring shells onto the top of the mountain.

Chen Chuan and Chen Bitong retreated to the edge of the rift at this time. One more step and they might retreat out.

But it was already safe here, because the locations hit by the artillery fire were only in the middle area of the rift. As for the location near the other end of the rift's interior exit, it was not directly penetrated by the shells.

It seemed that the death of a general had indeed triggered a strong reaction from the opposite side. This round of bombardment lasted a full fifteen minutes.

After the artillery bombardment, the airship approached, and the machine guns on it spat out tongues of fire at the rift below.

At the same time, dense masses of White Plague also relied on the cover of the machine guns to surge up the mountain and rushed into the rift one after another.
