Chapter 437: Shocking Confrontation
Chapter 437: Shocking Confrontation
As a spear was hurled towards Chen Chuan, his expression remained calm, showing no intention of dodging.
Just as the spear was about to strike his forehead, a long stick suddenly extended from the side, deflecting the spear with a gentle nudge, sending it flying away.
Yuan Qiuyuan retracted the stick and gave a provocative glance towards the Imperial Samurai who had thrown the spear.
The Imperial Samurai remained silent, not making any further moves after throwing the spear, and continued approaching them.
Chen Chuan noticed that as the distance closed, the three men's speed and rhythm increased significantly, and their breathing became more rapid and controlled.
Qin Qingque, on the right, seemed unaffected, steadily raising her gun and firing a shot. She reloaded and continued shooting.
The three Iron Demons, withstanding the gunfire, reached a range of 150 meters and threw their spears towards Chen Chuan and his team.
This time, instead of throwing one spear, they hurled all their spears at once. Simultaneously, the sound of their armor rubbing against each other filled the air as they leveled their spears and charged forward.
The two Imperial Samurai behind them, after throwing their spears, shouted in unison and followed their leader's charge.
As the three rushed forward, Yuan Qiuyuan and Qin Qingque suddenly felt a surge of pressure. Their breaths momentarily halted, though they couldn't pinpoint its source.
Chen Chuan's eyes flashed with understanding. As a master of field techniques, he immediately discerned that the three had merged their biofields, creating an overwhelming mental pressure.
He had only read about this technique in documents but had never witnessed it in reality.
This technique required the biofields of the users to be highly synchronized, sometimes even necessitating self-abandonment and complete submission to others. Such a phenomenon was rare among Third Limit Combat Solvers.
However, considering the old-fashioned feudal relationship of the Imperial Samurai, it made sense.
At this moment, if they allowed the pressure to continue, it would undoubtedly affect their teammates' mental states. At the very least, they needed to summon more divine minds to resist.
In the Convergence Zone, apart from engaging in combat, they also had to consider the increase and decrease of the Vitality Index. Mental stability was paramount.
Chen Chuan's Xue Jun Saber was already drawn, and he stepped forward, deflecting the incoming spears while extending his biofield to counter theirs.
In the instant their biofields made contact, he felt as if he had collided with an incredibly solid barrier—deep, stable, without gaps, unperturbed, and almost... lifeless.
Biofields were the convergence of a fighter's information, unique to each individual yet adhering to a certain pattern of change. However, the opponents' biofields did not follow this pattern.
It seemed that the opponents were not merely humans but something else.
Indeed, while those skilled in techniques could make changes, he could sense that they hadn't undergone any superficial transformations; they were inherently like this.
Even without exerting full force, they covered over a hundred meters in an instant. As Chen Chuan stepped forward, the Iron Demon directly in front of him charged with momentum, spear in hand, and thrust it towards him! Chen Chuan saw the spearhead aimed at his chest and neck, and he deflected it with his saber.
Although the Iron Demon charged at him with fierce momentum, he had abandoned any attempt at variation. If the spear was not retracted in time, he would push the saber forward, cutting along the spear's path and straight through the center!
However, at the moment their weapons clashed, a spark erupted.
Simultaneously, a powerful force penetrated his body, a force that was flawless and seamless. Although his metamorphic organization began to guide the dissipation of this force, it was too resilient and solidified, making it difficult to dispel entirely.
Failing to dispel it completely, he had no choice but to endure the impact.
His eyes were calm and tranquil, as if embodying the mental and physical perfection described in the documents. An average Third Limit Combat Solver, encountering such biofield pressure and formidable force, might have been overwhelmed in a single clash.
However, his current physical qualities were sufficient to withstand and counteract these forces, and his own force was transmitted back to the opponent.
Both of them sank into the muddy ground, and a wave of energy spread out.
The disturbance, however, was minimal.
The Iron Demon retracted his spear, pulling it back, his body seemingly unmoved. The spearhead then aimed at Chen Chuan's waist.
Chen Chuan was prepared, and with both hands on his saber, he deflected the spearhead. As their forces collided, a sound rang out, and both their bodies trembled slightly.
After a brief pause, they clashed again.
This confrontation was a test of sheer strength and personal techniques, as the force of the impact had restricted their movement, leaving little room for intricate maneuvers.
With limited adjustment options, there was little room for sophisticated techniques. It was a battle of raw power versus skill, and they could only clash head-on.
In every strike, both parties must deliver a powerful impact to their opponent. If one falters even slightly, their opponent will adjust faster and exert greater pressure in the next attack.
Chen Chuan has a way to counter this offensive strategy by using his Second Self to endure the attacks, instantly dispersing the incoming force and gaining the upper hand.
However, this opponent, who musters all his strength in every strike, is unlike any he has faced before. This battle is a test of his physical and mental fortitude, and even his biofield is being honed.
When the time is right, he utilizes his Second Self as an extension of himself, with no burden at all.
Most importantly, he senses that his opponent's strength is far from what has been displayed. Even if this is the case, he decides to wait and not rush into action.
Sounds of battle echo from both sides, as his teammates engage their respective opponents. From this moment on, if anyone falters or retreats, the entire balance could be disrupted, potentially leading to a swift defeat for one side.
But he trusts his teammates, and with his biofield observation, he doesn't need to look closely to understand their situations clearly.
Yuan Qiuyuan is exuberant and fiery, while Qin Qingque is swift and agile, both maintaining remarkable stability. They are currently dominating their opponents, and even if a slight issue arises, they can immediately adjust and adapt.
After engaging their opponents, Yuan Qiuyuan and Qin Qingque both realize that these Imperial Samurai possess formidable physiques, solid foundations, and extensive fighting experience. Their offense and defense have no apparent weaknesses.
Such opponents, even those stronger than them, cannot be defeated quickly. Thus, they suppress their desire to win swiftly and help their teammates, instead opting to patiently seek opportunities.
The Imperial Samurai, during their battle, display a very dull demeanor, showing no emotional outbursts. Their duty is to relieve pressure from the Iron Demon and intercept the enemy, without needing to do anything extraordinary or even defeat them. They just need to wait for the Iron Demon to emerge victorious.
However, they feel a sense of surprise within their hearts.
In the past, fighters who faced the Iron Demon would usually succumb to the powerful force unleashed in each strike. After a few rounds, they would begin to retreat and adopt evasive tactics.
But the more they endure, the longer they can persist. Although they could end the battle quickly, they didn't anticipate that this time, their opponent, the Commander, would remain unwavering in the confrontation.
Yet, this alone doesn't worry them, as the Commander's strength is far beyond what he has shown.
As Chen Chuan and the Iron Demon clash repeatedly, their forces collide, and the ground beneath them sinks, forming a noticeable pit. The area of the pit expands, and from a distance, one can only see their upper bodies above the ground. After several minutes of intense combat, Chen Chuan realizes that his opponent's strength is gradually increasing. With a flash in his eyes, he unleashes the power of the Metamorphosis Organization, creating a shockwave upon impact.
A dull sound of breaking air is followed by a powerful blast, and with each clash, the surrounding area is pushed outward, forming concentric circles like ripples on water.
This intense battle scene captures the attention of Yuan Qiuyuan and Qin Qingque, but they quickly regain their focus, not allowing themselves to be distracted.
Fortunately, their opponents, though solid and stable, are not the type to seize opportunities. Even when they show signs of fluctuation, they maintain their previous demeanor.
However, this also indicates their extraordinary trust in the Iron Demon, believing there is no need for them to take proactive measures. They simply wait for the Iron Demon's victory.
Despite numerous clashes, where both Chen Chuan and the Iron Demon mobilize their entire Metamorphosis Organization, neither shows any sign of exhaustion.
Chen Chuan's Zhou Yuan's Vitality Technique covers his entire body with the Metamorphosis Organization, and with continuous refinement through special medicines, his progress is rapid.
To be honest, even without relying on his Second Self, he could sustain this battle for days without issue. He believes his opponent is similarly capable.
But Chen Chuan knows his opponent won't want to prolong the fight. The Commander has abandoned his previous evasive strategy and quickly engaged because of deceptive intelligence. Time is not on their side, so they will likely change tactics soon.
The Iron Demon moves faster than Chen Chuan anticipated.
After several more clashes, he deflects the opponent's lance with his sword, only to find that his attempt to stall the opponent's body has no effect. The lance swings, clearing the sword, and with a swift thrust, it pierces the air in front of Chen Chuan!
