Chapter 563 Attack

The tip of the rapier was reflected in Chen Chuan's eyes, as if it would pierce into him in the next moment.

He kept swinging the sword with one hand and raised the other hand to flick. The power of the Collapsing Cloud Palm exploded instantly, and the attacker's sword broke in an instant. Under the force, the whole arm exploded. In front of him, as the blade passed through the neck, a head was chopped off.

In an instant, he killed two people and seriously injured one, but at this moment, there was a loud bang in front of him, and a cavalryman with a helmet tassel on his head emerged from the fog, rushing forward with a spear in his hand and stabbed towards him.

Now he was at the moment of releasing his strength and had no way to protect himself, but as he looked at the gradually approaching gun tip, his eyes were calm, because he was not alone at this moment.

Chen Bi Tong's figure suddenly appeared in front, with a spear held horizontally and placed on the side of the spear. However, the force on it was so strong that the spear broke into pieces in an instant, and a stuffy feeling came from his chest. But even so, the spear did not move even a little bit, which shows how powerful the person is.

However, this obstruction slowed down the general's forward momentum for a moment, causing the spear that could have been thrust forward unhindered to be slowed down a beat, and it was no longer possible to achieve the original almost perfect strike in terms of timing and strength.

Chen Chuan took advantage of this opportunity, adjusted his breathing in time, raised his knife and swung it upwards, and with a clang, it was placed on the spear!

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

Chen Bitong came to the side of the general at this time and slapped his waist with one palm, but at the moment when the force of the string was about to touch him, the horse under the general actually raised its hoof and dodged to the side, so that the owner on the horse also avoided the point where the force was the strongest. Even if he was hit next, the force could not be fully exerted.

Chen Bi Tong's palm seemed to be still continuing, but his shadow appeared on the other side of the horse and punched out. This time, the general had already found an opportunity, drew his sword, and with a backhand swing, cut the shadow in half.

But just as the sword force was over, Chen Bitong's figure appeared above him again, and he stepped towards his head. These consecutive kicks mobilized the cavalry general's strength continuously, and under normal circumstances, he would have been too late to defend himself.

At this almost unavoidable moment, the horse under the general actually knelt down, dodging the attack for the second time at the moment before the force exploded.

This kind of unity between man and horse is truly amazing.

But at this time, Chen Chuan, who was in front of the horse, raised his sword and slashed!

This is the advantage of having two people. Even if the opponent is indeed strong, there will always be gaps between the collision of strength and the transition between offense and defense. Once they are caught and hit, with the destructive power of mental strength, the battle will almost be over.

But the cavalry general was not alone. The horse actually leaned back at this moment, using its head and neck to block the path of the knife. The cavalry general turned over, and at this moment, several spears were thrown in from the outside of the crack and shot towards Chen Chuan and Chen Bi Tong with incredible accuracy.

Chen Chuan's expression remained unchanged. With a whistling sound, Xue Jun's sword chopped off the horse's head, sending it flying. The sword flashed again, and with a clang, it deflected the spear. Chen Bitong also raised his hand to deflect the spear.

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

The enemy man was standing outside the crack and should not have been able to see them, but his shots were extremely accurate. This should be because the spiritual power was connected to the cavalry general, and it should be a pre-arranged attack.

After the cavalry general fell off his horse, he raised his spear and stabbed at the two men in an instant. When the two men tried to block, he retreated. With every step he took, spears were thrown from outside to block Chen Chuan and Chen Bi Tong. After only a few steps, he retreated from the crevice. It seemed that his first attack failed, so he planned to withdraw directly.

Chen Chuan immediately pressed forward and rushed out of the crack in a flash.

Just as Chen Bi Tong was about to catch up, a rapier suddenly attacked from the side. The man who was seriously injured by Chen Chuan just now seemed to have the skills to hide his figure and mind. He had just hidden aside, but now he rushed out from the dark again, and it seemed that he had another spare weapon, but the former did not even look at it, and blocked it with his hand, and a burst of force was transmitted along the sword.

There were sudden crackling sounds all over the man's body, and a large amount of blood spurted out from the broken arm. He fell from mid-air. After hitting the ground, he was not dead for a while and was twitching there.

But this obstruction was not meaningless. Chen Bi Tong fell behind slightly. When he came out of the crack, he saw the cavalry general hiding in the thick fog at the foot of the mountain. Chen Chuan had already caught up with him and slashed him with a knife at the same time.

Only the front end of the blade made contact with the opponent, but the force of the blade directly cut through the armor on the back, leaving a long crack from top to bottom.

The cavalry general didn't even turn his head. A burst of power burst out from his body, and his speed actually increased a little. He quickly entered the thick fog.

At this time, there was a whistling sound in the air, and several spears were all in front of Chen Chuan. He just raised his hands to block his face. The spears fell on his body and broke into pieces as soon as they touched his clothes and skin, and fell to the ground.

This is his simulated method of practicing both hardness and softness. Although it is impossible to perform like Chang Kuanghai's Tianshu Fist, ordinary changes combined with mental strength are enough to create better expressiveness.

He felt a little regretful that Xue Jundao had not woken up yet and his strength was not fully exerted, otherwise the previous blow would have been able to do more than just cut through the opponent's armor.

At this time, he saw dense swarms of white plague appearing around him and swarming towards the top of the mountain. Knowing that there was no chance, he stopped chasing and glanced at the foot of the mountain. Through the fog, he vaguely saw that the escaped cavalry general went under a big flag, where there was also a general on horseback who was obviously of higher status.

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

This attack lasted for more than ten minutes. When it stopped, the front of the fissure was filled with corpses. There was no place to step, and the air was filled with unpleasant odors.

Chen Bitong said, "We can pile these bodies at the door and burn some of them. The airflow in front of the fissure is flowing outward, so we can block it for a while. This way, we can also recover our strength. Captain Chen, I have a drum of oil ready in the car. Assistant Fang and the others can bring it to you."

Chen Chuan said, "I'll do it."

He turned and walked out. After a while, he came back with two oil drums. At this time, Chen Bitong had moved most of the corpses to the front of the crack. He poured algae oil on them and then lit it with a lighter. A raging fire suddenly rose above them. Because the air flow was surging outward, the billowing smoke temporarily covered the mountain road.

Chen Chuan looked outside and said, "Teacher Chen, that person just now was quite powerful. However, with their current strength, if they weren't fighters themselves, they probably wouldn't be able to cause much damage even if they entered the central city. Their purpose might not be that simple, right?"

Chen Bitong shook his head and said, "This should only be their vanguard. Once they break through, the follow-up troops should be mobilized. But even if only a small number of vanguards break through, it will also have great political significance.

Since the overthrow of the old empire and the establishment of the Dashun Republic for more than 90 years, these remnants have never broken through the blockade and have never entered Dashun from the blending area.

But if a troop breaks into the central city and causes some damage to us, it will greatly boost the morale of the army and unite the internal forces.

And if you have it once, you can have it twice."

Chen Chuan thought about it and nodded. He understood this logic. The competition between the two factions was not just about military victory or defeat, but also about maintaining their own rule internally. Especially for a ruling group like the old imperial family, it had to continuously use force to alleviate internal pressure and conflicts.

Chen Bitong said solemnly, "Precisely because of its great significance, they will definitely try to break through our blockade at all costs. We are about to fight a tough battle."

Chen Chuan said, "Then let them come."

But he looked down again. Although he was confident that he could hold the position like this, it was too passive, and the opponent was able to make calm adjustments. As a fighter, he did not like the situation where he could only take a beating and could not fight back.

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

When Chen Bitong heard his bold idea, he didn't think it was a fantasy. Instead, he carefully considered the possibility and said in a deep voice, "It's not that there is no chance."

Although this is a risky move, it is worth a try because the opponent will never expect them to rush down.

Moreover, when he arrived, he knew that the general sent by the other side was confronting the fighters in the central city, so the other side did not have anyone with absolute strength to suppress them.

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

Chen Chuan said, "Teacher Chen, I'll take the lead this time. I'm faster. Teacher Chen, you can take advantage of the rift. I'll be in the front to draw their attention, and you can take advantage of the situation to sneak forward and look for an opportunity. We don't need to force it. If there's no chance, we can retreat."
