Atlas of Heaven and Man

Chen Chuan's eyes reflected the tip of the thin sword, as if it would pierce him in the next moment.

His one hand maintained the motion of wielding the saber, while the other hand raised to deflect, the force of the Cloud Crushing Palm erupting instantly. The attacker's long sword shattered in an instant, and with the force surging horizontally, even the entire arm exploded. In front, as the blade sliced across the neck, a head had already been severed.

In an instant, he killed two people and seriously injured one. However, at this moment, a loud bang echoed from the front. A fully armored cavalry general, with helmet plumes on his head, burst out of the mist, carrying the momentum of a forward charge. The long spear in his hand thrust towards him.

He was currently at the moment of releasing his strength, unable to defend himself. However, looking at the approaching spear tip, his eyes were calm, because he was not alone at this moment.

Chen Bitong's figure suddenly appeared in front, a long spear held horizontally, bracing against the side of the long spear. However, the force on it was fierce and unmatched, the long spear breaking inch by inch in an instant, and a sense of stagnation came from his chest. Even so, the long spear did not deviate even half a point, showing the strength of the attacker.

However, this obstruction caused the cavalry general's forward momentum to slow down for an instant, which made the spear thrust, which could have been smooth and unimpeded, a beat slower, unable to achieve the original near-perfect strike in terms of timing and strength.

Chen Chuan seized this gap, adjusted his breath in time, and raised his saber in an upward sweep, parrying the long spear with a clang!

With a clang, sparks flew in the contact of the weapons, and there was a squeezing friction sound. Even though the long spear had been blocked once, the remaining force still pushed him back several meters.

Chen Bitong at this time came to the side of this military general, a palm patted towards his waist side, but in the moment the String Void force was about to touch him, the horse under the military general actually raised a hoof, avoiding to the side, so that even the master on the seat also dodged the most powerful point of force, and even if it hit next, the force could not be fully exerted.

Chen Bitong's palm seemed to continue, but his phantom appeared on the other side of the horse, and a fist hit, and this time, the military general had already gained an opportunity, pulled out his waist saber, and with a backhand wave, he cut open this phantom.

But as soon as the saber momentum passed, Chen Bitong's figure appeared above him again, a foot stepping towards the head. These continuous shuttles mobilized the cavalry general's strength in succession, and under normal circumstances, there was no time to parry.

At this almost unavoidable juncture, it was still the horse under the military general that knelt down, actually dodging this blow for the second time at the moment before the force erupted.

This kind of unity of man and horse was really amazing.

Only this cavalry general was not just himself. At this moment, the horse actually leaned back, using its head and neck to block the path of the saber. The cavalry general then flipped backwards, and at this moment, several long spears were thrown in from outside the gap, actually shooting towards Chen Chuan and Chen Bitong with unparalleled accuracy.

Chen Chuan's eyes did not change. With a chi sound, the warhorse's head was chopped off and flew up. The saber light turned again, and with a clang, it parried the thrown long spear. On Chen Bitong's side, he also raised his hand and deflected the long spear.

However, with this contact, both of them could feel that the spear was thrown from at least half a mile away.

The other party's people were standing outside the gap, and they should not be able to see them, but they were extremely accurate when throwing them. This should be because the mental strength was connected to this cavalry general, and it should be a pre-arranged follow-up attack.

After the cavalry general abandoned his horse and flipped down, he raised his long spear and thrust a spear at each of them in an instant. When the two of them parried, he retreated backwards. With each step back, a spear was thrown to block Chen Chuan and Chen Bitong. After only a few steps, he retreated from the gap, and it seemed that if a strike was unsuccessful, he planned to retreat directly.

Chen Chuan immediately pressed up, and in a flash, he rushed out of the gap.

Chen Bitong was about to catch up when a stabbing sword suddenly attacked from his side. The person who had been seriously injured by Chen Chuan earlier seemed to have the skills to hide his figure and spirit. He had just hid to the side, and now he once again killed from the dark, and it seemed that there was another spare weapon, but the former did not even look at it, and with a casual block, a String Void force was transmitted along the sword body.

The man's whole body suddenly made a crackling sound, and a large amount of blood spurted out from the original broken arm. He fell from the air, and after falling to the ground, he did not die completely for a while, twitching there.

Only this obstruction was not without meaning. Chen Bitong was slightly behind by one step. When he came out of the gap, he saw that the cavalry general was avoiding into the thick fog down the mountain, and Chen Chuan had already chased behind him, and at the same time, a saber slashed down.

This saber only had the front end of the blade in contact with the other party, but the force on the saber directly cut through the armor on the back, and a long crack was split from top to bottom.

The cavalry general did not turn his head back, and a force erupted from his body, and the speed actually increased a little, and he quickly drilled into the thick fog.

At this time, there was a whooshing sound of breaking through the air, and several long spears all came to Chen Chuan. He just raised his hand to block in front of his face, and when the long spears fell on his body, just touching his clothes and skin, they were shaken and broke into pieces, falling to the ground.

This was him simulating the Horizontal Training of both rigidity and flexibility. Although it was impossible to express it like Chang Kuanghai's Heavenly Wrath Fist, ordinary changes combined with Heart Force were enough to create a better expression.

He was slightly regretful that the Snow Monarch Saber had not woken up yet, and the force was not fully released, otherwise that saber just now would have been able to cut through the opponent's armor.

At this time, he saw dense white plagues appearing around him, and they were surging up towards the top of the mountain. Knowing that there was no chance, he did not chase anymore. He glanced at the foot of the mountain, and through the fog, he vaguely saw the cavalry general who had escaped down going under a large flag, where there was a military general riding on a horse with a higher position.

After taking a deep look, he did not continue to stand here, but retreated into the gap, and those white plagues followed and rushed in fearlessly.

This impact lasted for ten minutes. After it stopped, the front of the gap was already piled with corpses, and there was simply no place to put a foot down, and it was filled with unpleasant smells everywhere.

Chen Bitong said, "We can pile these corpses at the door and burn a part. The airflow in front of the gap is going outwards, which will block for a while, so that we can also take the opportunity to recover some physical strength. Captain Chen, I have prepared oil drums in the car, and I can let Assistant Fang get them for you."

Chen Chuan said, "I'll take care of it."

He turned around and walked out. After a while, he brought in two oil drums. At this moment, Chen Bitong had already moved most of the corpses to the front of the gap. He poured the algal oil on it, and then lit it with a lighter, and a raging fire rose up above it. Because the airflow was surging outwards, the billowing smoke temporarily blocked the mountain road.

Chen Chuan looked outside and said, "Teacher Chen, that person just now was not weak, but with their current strength, if a martial artist does not come in person, even if they enter the central city, I am afraid they will not be able to cause too much damage. Their purpose is probably not that simple, right?"

Chen Bitong shook his head and said, "This should only be their advance team. Once they break through, then the subsequent team should be mobilized. But even if only a few advance teams break in, it will have great political significance.

Since the overthrow of the old empire, for more than ninety years since the founding of the Great Shun Republic, these remnants have never broken through the blockade, and have never entered Da Shun from the fusion land.

But if a team breaks into the central city and causes us some damage, it can greatly encourage the morale of the army and unite the internal.

And if there is one time, then there can be a second time."

Chen Chuan thought for a while and nodded. He could understand this principle. The competition between the two groups was not only about military victory or defeat, but also about internal maintenance of their own rule. Especially for a ruling group like the Old Imperial Family, they must continue to export force to alleviate internal pressure and contradictions.

Chen Bitong said with a solemn expression: "Precisely because the significance is great, they will definitely try to break through our blockade at all costs. We will fight a tough battle next."

Chen Chuan said, "Then let them come."

Only he looked down again. Although he was confident that he could defend by guarding like this, it was too passive, and the other party could always calmly dispatch. As a martial artist, he did not like this situation of only being beaten and not being able to fight back.

So he changed his mind and said, "Teacher Chen, I just saw that the general flag was very close to us, just at the foot of the mountain. Since this is only an advance team, can we rush down and try to kill the enemy's main general?"

When Chen Bitong heard his bold idea, he did not think he was whimsical, but carefully considered the possibilities here, and said in a deep voice: "It is not without a chance."

Although this was a risky move, they could try it, because the other party would never have thought that they would rush down.

Moreover, he knew when he came that the General Zheng Guo sent by the other party this time was confronting the martial artist here in the central city, so the other party did not have absolute strength to suppress them.

He said: "At this distance, if you are well prepared, if the action is sudden enough, there is still a certain possibility of success."

Chen Chuan said: "Teacher Chen, let me be the main attacker this time. I am faster. Teacher Chen, you can use the gap. I will attract their attention in front, and Teacher Chen can take the opportunity to sneak to the front and look for opportunities. We don't have to force it. If there is no chance, then we will retreat."
