Celestial Human Diagram

Chen Bitong recalled that Chen Chuan’s Force Technique was unique, seemingly able to mimic all sorts of Power. His resistance to attacks was also incredibly formidable; even when Chen Bitong channeled external energy with his spirit, he couldn’t force him back. He was indeed the best choice for the main assault.

He looked at Chen Chuan again. The young man was high-spirited and resolute, dauntless and fearless. He had been just like that when he was young.

Feeling a touch of nostalgia, he said, "Captain Chen, you must have used up a lot of stamina just now, right? Can you keep going?"

’Stamina aside, the Mutated Organization still gets fatigued,’ Chen Bitong thought. ’Chen Chuan must have been in a fight before he got here, and then he fought another one against me. The toll was real. Take me, for example. I can still fight, but I’m a far cry from my peak condition at the beginning.’

Chen Chuan had indeed expended a great deal of energy. Although he had the Second Self, his stamina wasn’t depleted. It was just that after clashing head-on with that power twice, the Second Self only had two-fifths of its original endurance left.

’I’ll probably have to face a similar power again, so I need to be more cautious.’

Moreover, the effects of the potion he had taken before his fight with Chen Bitong had now almost completely worn off.

He thought for a moment, then took out the vial of Recovery Potion that Specialist Liang had someone bring to him, opened it, and drank it down.

Soon, a warm current spread through his body, and he felt a comforting heat in every part of him.

In just a moment, strength radiated from his limbs and bones. His Mutated Organization became active, and it wasn’t just a physical sensation; even his spiritual senses became much sharper.

He assessed its effects. This was by far the most potent medicine he had ever seen. It felt as if he had returned to his peak state in an instant, and it seemed it would continue to provide him with an endless supply of abundant Energy for some time.

’A potion sent specially by the Defense Department is truly something else.’

But along with the power, it also brought side effects. He saw large, illusory patches appear on his Second Self, which meant the potion was also highly destructive to the body.

But even setting aside the fact that he had the Second Self to transfer the damage, ordinary Third Limit Fighters would use such highly damaging drugs without hesitation as long as it helped them recover their combat strength.

This was because upon reaching this level, as long as they still had stamina and reserves of Essence Blood, any damage could be repaired afterward with Essence Blood, so they didn’t need to worry too much.

Seeing Chen Chuan recover after taking the potion, Chen Bitong also closed his eyes slightly, adjusting his own condition by releasing some of his Essence Blood.

A moment later, when he opened his eyes again, the light within them had grown strong once more.

He said, "The Cavalry General who came earlier didn’t have his own Ceremonial Banner. He was likely a Vice General without a title. Therefore, there’s a ninety percent chance the Commander is an Assistant General.

Unlike the Duty Samurai like the Iron Demon you encountered, Captain Chen, they don’t go through a transformation process. That’s because they have already fully adapted to their parasitic organisms, becoming one with them.

Moreover, like me, they have mastered the means to draw upon external power. Although this is what they rely on, it also makes their combat behavior easier to predict.

At a critical moment, they will definitely use this power without hesitation. But this requires a high degree of mental concentration, so once they channel it, their awareness of their surroundings will drop significantly. That is the perfect opening."

Chen Chuan said seriously, "I will create an opportunity for you, Teacher Chen."

Chen Bitong said, "We can’t predict the exact situation. We’ll have to adapt when we get there. Don’t get hung up on who lands the final blow. Just take any opportunity you see. I have an idea. We can do this..."

He brought over a Long Spear and sketched a few lines on the ground. Finally, he nodded and gestured. "This will be a bit more difficult, but it’ll be far more unexpected."

Chen Chuan took a look, considered it, and thought it was feasible. At the very least, if they were suddenly ambushed like this, the enemy wouldn’t be able to react in time.

He agreed, saying, "Teacher Chen, your plan has a high chance of success. Let’s do it that way."

But Chen Bitong knew that a plan was ultimately only as good as the people executing it. The best opportunity was useless if the people weren’t up to the task. This plan was based on their two individual abilities, and it was precisely because their respective strengths supported it that more possibilities opened up.

He then reminded him seriously, "I don’t doubt you can get to those two, Captain Chen, but remember to be careful. If you feel it’s impossible, then retreat."

After all, charging head-on meant facing the full force of their defenses. The pressure Chen Chuan would have to endure would be immense. Even ignoring everyone else, just facing the Commander and Vice General would be more perilous than facing Nie Guanshan and Yang Shen alone.

Chen Chuan nodded in acknowledgment.

Chen Bitong said, "We’ll make our move later, after the flames die down a bit."

After the Vice General returned to the base of the mountain, dense white Mutated Organization grew out from the gash on his back armor, quickly sealing the wound. At the same time, the armor also began to gradually repair itself.

This type of armor had its own biological tissue, allowing it to heal along with their bodies.

Once under the great banner, he conversed with the army’s Commander, stating that the two people on the mountain were very strong and extremely difficult to deal with. He also described their specific styles and characteristics.

The Commander didn’t mind the failed attack. If it didn’t work once, they would just organize another. However, given the formidable martial strength of the two people above, they would need to adjust their tactics for the next attempt.

An advisor suggested that they could first bombard the mountain with artillery to cut off all of the enemy’s options. Then, once the Airships from the rear arrived, they could completely suppress the two people inside.

But the Commander rejected this proposal.

For Fighters who were on the verge of reaching the Overlimit, ordinary artillery and machine guns couldn’t hit them. Besides, the fact that these two had come to this side was clearly an opportunity for them to deal with them.

If they forced them to retreat to the other side of the Rift, it would be even harder for them to break through.

The best way was to finish them here. Before, they had reservations because they were unsure of the enemy’s arrangements and true strength. Now, however, they had a certain degree of confidence.

The Commander immediately began arranging his men. This time, he planned to attack alongside the Vice General and eliminate the obstruction on the mountain in one go.

At his command, the men below began to form up, and all the Duty Samurai gathered under the Ceremonial Banner.

Meanwhile, inside the Rift, seeing the flames ahead weakening, the two of them had more or less finished their preparations. Chen Bitong gave Chen Chuan a nod, then stepped out of the Rift ahead of him, his figure quickly melting into the mist.

Chen Chuan came to the entrance and looked down. The mist still shrouded the mountain path, obscuring the situation below, but the commander’s flag was faintly visible.

’The Old Imperial Family places extreme emphasis on etiquette, and military regulations are strict. A commander would never stray far from his flag. I can use that as my reference.’

’Other than giving chase, we haven’t taken the initiative to leave the Rift. Hiding in here is undoubtedly safer. Therefore, right now, the enemy will never expect us to charge down from the mountain.’

’But we’ll only have one chance.’

He glanced at the Snow Monarch Blade, his spirit extending into the blade. He had proven when dealing with the splintered clones that he could temporarily awaken it whenever truly necessary.

’Besides, I won’t need long. When the real opportunity comes, I might only get one strike.’

As he focused his spirit, the Snow Monarch Blade began to tremble slightly, clearly sensing and understanding his will.

’I know that once I start my charge, the commotion will be impossible to hide. The people below will definitely react.’

’But I don’t need to hide it. I have to draw everyone’s attention to me to create an opening for Chen Bitong.’

A little while later, seeing that the flames in front of the entrance were about to die out, he took a deep breath and stepped forward.

In that instant, everything around him slowed down. As he moved, a sonic boom echoed around him.

There were a few scattered Soldiers on the mountain path responsible for outpost observation. They only heard a loud bang, followed by a violent torrent of air rushing past them.

Some were merely grazed, and their muscles and bones were instantly torn apart before being swept away by the powerful airflow.

Chen Chuan was completely unaffected, maintaining his momentum. Propelled by the overlapping Second Self, his speed increased more and more.

In that same instant, his spiritual aura began to rise, climbing ever higher. As if stimulated by this, the Snow Monarch Blade in his hand began to hum and tremble, a faint, mist-like radiance appearing on its surface.

Over a distance of several kilometers, he closed in within just a few breaths.

Beneath the great banner, the Commander sat calmly on his horse with no intention of retreating. The Duty Samurai and guards at his side, realizing something was wrong, immediately surged forward to form a defensive line, raising their Long Spears one by one.

The Vice General also moved closer to the Commander.

They truly hadn’t expected the person on the mountain to actually charge down. Moreover, to facilitate their own attack later, they had just leveled and cleared the ground in front. As a result, there were no obstacles or arrangements on the path, which, in hindsight, only made it more convenient for the enemy.

Chen Chuan moved in a straight line between himself and the military banner. Seeing the obstacle and the dense forest of Long Spears ahead, he showed no signs of slowing down and simply crashed right into them!

The instant they made contact, the foremost Long Spears that struck him exploded violently. Wood splinters and metal shards flew everywhere, some fragments even carrying powerful kinetic energy as they shot backward, instantly causing a wave of bloodcurdling screams.

The entire front rank of men, be they guards or Duty Samurai, felt as if they had been hit by a high-speed train. With a deafening BOOM, a gap was instantly torn in their formation. Mangled bodies and broken weapons flew backward, thrown along the path of the impact.

The force of the impact also caused the military greatcoat on Chen Chuan to explode into tatters. His eyes remained locked on the Commander ahead. After breaking through the formation, he took a light step, and the powerful thrust launched him into the air. Raising his Long Blade with both hands, he brought it down in a vicious slash toward the man!
