Chapter 540: Convergence
Chapter 540: Convergence
Chen Chuan's next two attacks utilized the techniques specifically taught by Chen Bitong for dealing with large-bodied creatures.
These creatures possessed extremely resilient altered tissues within their bodies, requiring immense destructive force to ensure a fatal blow.
However, this method required some preparation time before execution, rendering it impractical against ordinary fighters due to the lack of opportunity.
Nevertheless, it was possible to execute the technique without preparation, as the altered tissues had limited coverage, requiring time to mobilize more of them, and the other reason was to protect oneself from potential self-inflicted harm during the impact.
But Chen Chuan's altered tissues were extensively covered, and with the ability to transfer damage using his second self, he unleashed these two punches without hesitation.
All this was based on the premise that he had a clear understanding of Chang Kuanghai's offense and defense from their previous engagements, ensuring he wouldn't waste energy on uncertain targets.
At this moment, a 'da' sound echoed as Chen Chuan landed, not waiting for Chang Kuanghai to recover. He leaped forward, swiping aside Chang Kuanghai's descending arm that attempted to block, and with the other hand clenched in a fist, he struck directly at his chest. The powerful force penetrated his body entirely.
Chang Kuanghai's face flushed, his spine arched backward, and his body staggered.
Chen Chuan stepped forward again, executing a palm strike from the free combat style, smashing it into Chang Kuanghai's chin with a 'hong' sound. Chang Kuanghai tilted backward, his massive body causing his heels to lift off the ground.
At this moment, Chen Chuan felt a chill run down his spine. He forcefully turned his head, looking back, but one of his eyes was still being pulled downward by Chen Chuan's fingers, allowing the force to penetrate, causing one of his eyeballs to burst instantly.
Chen Chuan's hand tightened, and half of his body went numb as he was seized by Chen Chuan's capture force. Then, pulling Chang Kuanghai's arm, he slammed him to the ground.
Through Chang Kuanghai's blood-obscured vision, he saw a punch descending. He raised both hands to block, but with the force not properly channeled, the skin and flesh on his arm exploded, and blood splattered outward uncontrollably.
Chen Chuan didn't halt his assault; one punch followed another, and the intensity increased with each strike, each carrying immense power, creating a continuous boom of explosions.
Under this relentless attack, Chang Kuanghai's arms gradually developed cracks, eventually shattering with two crisp cracks.
With no more obstructions, Chen Chuan's eyes flashed, and he delivered a direct punch to Chang Kuanghai's chest. A 'hong' sound reverberated as dust exploded, and Chang Kuanghai's back sank into the ground, creating a shallow depression around his body.
For a moment, Chang Kuanghai lost the strength to defend himself.
Chen Chuan clenched his fist again, aiming at Chang Kuanghai's face. After a brief pause, he smashed it down forcefully, but at that instant, he sensed something and swiped his hand, deflecting a sharp force that grazed past him and left a shallow white mark on the ground.
With this interference, the punch lacked full force, but even so, it still slammed Chang Kuanghai's head into the ground.
Chen Chuan lifted his gaze, looking forward.
He saw a figure in Western martial attire, wielding a cross-shaped long spear, standing at a distance. Although his face was obscured by long hair, and his physique seemed somewhat emaciated, Chen Chuan still recognized him from his attire and spiritual aura. He couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.
The man slowly lifted his face, brushing aside the hair covering it, revealing a face with a sinister smile, resembling a malevolent ghost.
"Gong Ying Chang Xiu?!"
Everyone in the Defense Department Command Center was startled, and some even stood up, exclaiming in disbelief, "How is he still alive?"
Many displayed expressions of disbelief, as they had just witnessed Chen Chuan behead this man. How could he possibly appear here again?
Liang, the Specialist, maintained a solemn expression, pondering for a moment before turning to the female assistant, "The secret art of Wind Forest Pavilion?"
The female assistant nodded and added, "Captain Chen has just fought two consecutive battles and rushed here at full speed. His stamina should be significantly depleted, and this time, it might be a bit troublesome."
Chen Chuan slowly straightened his body, noticing that Gong Ying Chang Xiu's appearance and aura were different from before. His aura now carried a fleeting, eerie sensation, and the sense of danger seemed even stronger.
First, Chen Chuan contacted Yuan Qiuyuan and the other two through the interdimensional link.
"Where are you guys?"
Yuan Qiuyuan's voice immediately responded, "Captain, after dealing with those four guys, we were on our way to you, but we encountered obstacles and were ambushed by an unknown force..."
In the background, gunshots, explosions, and the roar of armored vehicles could be heard.
"We're currently breaking through, and it might take around five to seven minutes to reach your location."
As they rushed over, they had to constantly dodge the increasingly frequent rifts and long cables blocking a major route, forcing them to take detours.
But after the detour, they found many forces converging here. Upon discovering they were from the government, some even targeted them, leading to continuous skirmishes along the way.
Chen Chuan looked at the few team members and found no issues with them. He reminded them to be careful, then turned to look at Gong Ying Chang Xiu.
Gong Ying Chang Xiu glanced at the rift behind him, his eyes revealing an unconcealed sense of possession. As a successor of the Wind Forest Pavilion's legacy, he could clearly sense that this place would bring him great benefits.
This place could provide ample spiritual nourishment, and if all went well, he could achieve the Heaven Body and attain the state of Divine Self Unity.
But rather than sharing such a good place with two people, it would be better for him to occupy it alone.
He turned to Chen Chuan, a strange smile spreading across his face. Holding his long lance, he slightly bowed towards the front, then raised his head and said, "Mr. Chen, please don't be surprised. I can return, this is just the secret technique of the Wind Forest Pavilion."
Chen Chuan looked at Gong Ying Chang Xiu and said slowly, "Mr. Gong Ying, I'm actually glad that you can return."
The battle with Chang Kuanghai had once again boosted his spirit. Although the essence revealed in the rift was not insignificant, it was still insufficient for him. Only by continuing to elevate his spiritual height was the most crucial thing to do next.
And powerful opponents were the firewood for his cultivation. What could be better than enemies like Gong Ying Chang Xiu? Even if he was beaten to death, he could get up and return to face him again.
Gong Ying Chang Xiu heard his words, and his pupils slightly contracted. He gave a cold snort and raised the cross-shaped long lance in his hand.
"It seems that the previous battle didn't allow you to enjoy yourself, Mr. Chen."
He leveled his lance, pointing the tip forward, "Then now, let's have a second round!"
Chen Chuan loosened his collar, took a few steps forward, and reached out to grab the Snow Lady Saber. At this moment, he sensed something and looked into the distance.
He spoke calmly, "Come out, there's no need to hide there."
In a 169-page book, there was no mistake in this version!
About a hundred meters away, a figure clad in knight armor emerged from the top of a building. It was the very person who had intercepted him on the road earlier.
The same set of armor that had fallen off earlier was once again worn by the figure. And the helmet that had been crushed by Chen Chuan was now obviously replaced by a new one.
Astrid looked at Chen Chuan standing in front of her, then glanced at Gong Ying Chang Xiu, standing on the other side with a ghostly aura. She complained to the Interdimensional Link, "Sijie, I feel like I'm going to be done for."
Sigrid's voice sounded in her ear, "Don't talk like that. I'll support you from behind. Besides, as long as you're careful and don't expose your combat habits, he won't be able to catch you."
Astrid muttered, "It's not like you're going up against him."
"Okay, okay," Sigrid said from behind, "Just wait for the chance to get the split body, that's all you need to do, you don't have to defeat them."
The company sent them here, not only to collect data but also to retrieve the split body that existed in this place.
Although there were no scattered rifts here, there was a stable and large rift. In fact, a large area around it could be considered under the rift's influence. Astrid could still use the power of the rift to travel back and forth. It was almost like her home turf, but the key was whether her senses and nerve reactions could keep up.
At this moment, several people in the field heard the sound of clacking, like the friction and twisting of bones.
Gong Ying Chang Xiu and Astrid turned to look. They saw Chang Kuanghai, who had been half-dead, lifting his head out of the pit. He sat up, and his broken bones were rapidly straightening and healing.
The missing flesh on his arms was regrowing, and the eye that had been blasted open was visibly repairing, the tissues inside slowly writhing and mending. He slowly stood up from his original spot, then turned to face Chen Chuan again.
At this moment, the three people in the field stood in three different directions. Although they didn't seem to have the intention to team up, occupying the rift was the most important thing right now, so they didn't mind eliminating Chen Chuan, the biggest threat, first.
Inside the Defense Department Command Center, everyone witnessing this scene tensed up, unable to help but wipe a cold sweat for Chen Chuan.
Any one of these three people was a tough opponent, let alone facing all three at once?
Li Zhuanyuan, the specialist, looked at the screen, silent.
Below, someone urgently raised their head and said, "Captain Chen's team members are almost here, three minutes! Just three minutes is all we need!"
Three minutes...
Could they hold out?
Chen Chuan stood alone before the rift, looking at the three people in front of him. Dealing with one person was one way, but facing three or more people was a different approach.
His thoughts shifted, and the Second Self standing behind him instantly merged with him. He took a deep breath, and his body suddenly became scorching hot.
A boom sounded, and the white mist on his body rose, swirling upwards. Behind him, the expanding rift glowed with light, dancing in the air.
