Chapter 180 Baking Furnace
Tan Wang kept dodging and moving around in the incoming sword light. He found that Chen Chuan's sword had both power and speed, but lacked skills. This allowed him to use his own experience to a certain extent to dodge and move around instead of resisting head-on.
Only when they really cannot dodge will they choose to fight with their limbs and body. Under the action of the force, the muscles and scales attached to them can dissipate the force of the knife to the minimum after a while of wriggling.
Since both of them were moving at an extremely fast speed, the sounds of attack, parry and collision on both sides seemed to be heard without interruption, and the huge rain curtain was constantly being broken open one after another.
Sometimes, before the rain that exploded in one direction had settled back, another circle of rain exploded in the other side, and between them, one could see movement paths that were forcibly pushed open, one after another.
Thunder shook in the sky and lightning kept jumping. The figures of two people were just revealed a moment ago, and disappeared the next moment. Only the mud, water and grass stems on the ground exploded together.
After such a high-intensity confrontation lasted for more than ten minutes, Tan Wang felt a little uncomfortable. He needed to use his strength continuously to fight against the swords, which required him to concentrate and not make any mistakes. This was a huge burden and test for his energy and physical strength.
It’s okay now that the time is short, but if it is longer, as your physical strength declines, it will definitely be difficult to maintain it, and mistakes will be inevitable at that time.
He couldn't help but think that it was a bad decision, because the gland implantation surgery was not completed before he came out. Otherwise, he would be able to secrete a kind of oil on the surface of the scales, which could effectively deflect the slashing, stabbing, cutting and even bullet attacks of various sharp weapons.
Moreover, if the venom gland surgery on the upper jaw is done in advance, the opponent can be eliminated by just seizing the opportunity to spray out a puff of poison mist during the battle. Why bother with so much trouble?
Chen Chuan's sword moves were terrifyingly stable. It was like this at the beginning and it was still like this now. There had been no changes from the beginning to the end, as if he could continue to swing like this.
He now began to doubt his own judgment. What kind of medicine could last for such a long time?
Or...is this his true strength?
No, there is no such possibility.
He himself did not notice that when he began to feel anxious and doubtful, it was often the first sign that he was losing concentration and his physical strength was beginning to decline.
Chen Chuan stared intently at the enemy in front of him. It was only a dozen minutes. Before that, he had to swim in the pit and fight against the endless darkness and depressing environment for at least an hour. This was nothing to him.
That intensive training greatly improved his ability to withstand pressure. At least the fight in front of him could not shake his will even a little bit.
Even if the second overlap time is up, he can still continue to swing his sword unwaveringly until the opponent in front of him falls, or he falls himself.
After fighting for another ten minutes, Tan Wang felt something was wrong. It seemed that his body could not keep up with the reaction sometimes. Although he made up for it with experience, he still felt that there was a problem.
He knew it was probably due to the implant.
Implants often cause a decrease in combat effectiveness due to mismatch with the main body. Originally, the Secret Snake Cult had its own specialized implant doctors and its own implant cultivation room, and everyone had an implant corresponding to him.
However, his original implants were almost all destroyed by He Xiaoxing, especially the offensive limbs, which forced him to replace them.
In order to improve combat effectiveness, this time we simply used an upgraded version, but due to adaptation reasons, that set is still under development, so we only temporarily equipped it with a general set to use.
There is naturally no problem with using universal implants for a short period of time, but after using them for a long time, there is a sense of stagnation.
Maybe taking medicine could help him overcome the problem temporarily, but not to mention that the medicine was not on him, even now he was not allowed to do this.
The two sides were in a state of fierce confrontation at the moment, and were very sensitive to every subtle movement. As soon as the problem appeared here, Chen Chuan immediately felt something different. He found that Tan Wang's rhythm was a little disordered and he no longer had the initial sense of stability.
This undoubtedly illustrates one thing.
The opponent's condition is declining!
At the same time, he realized that since even he had noticed this, there was no reason for Tan Wang not to know about it, so he would definitely find a way to save the situation or break the deadlock.
Change may come later, but it may come in the next moment.
He couldn't help but increase his concentration.
However, Tan Wang did not change immediately. He obviously had rich combat experience and dealt with it patiently. He wanted to drag it out first, perhaps making his opponent impatient and reveal a flaw.
However, when facing an opponent who was almost not impatient or aggressive, he could not wait for a turnaround for a long time and had no choice but to make changes first.
His arm now blocked the blade for another chop. In the past, he would try to deflect the blade's force through muscle movement and the hardness of his scales, but this time there was a new change.
The moment it touched the blade, the veins on the arm began to wriggle, and the skin there suddenly broke open, revealing snake-like limbs that wrapped around the blade and tightly wrapped around it.
After seeing this, Chen Chuan's expression froze, but he did not choose to snatch it immediately. Instead, he loosened the handle of the knife, walked forward, and immediately went to the inner circle, rushing towards Tan Wang and launching a fierce attack. The latter only met the attack with one hand, and simply used his body to resist the attacks on other parts of his body.
Although Chen Chuan was quite strong, even a little stronger than him, he possessed highly resilient muscles, which could easily dispel such punches and kicks, making them difficult to pose much threat to him. The key was that as long as he could control the knife, it would be much easier to fight him.
Seeing that his attacks were of little use, Chen Chuan immediately changed his attack method. After his punch to the face was blocked, he immediately changed his fist into a palm, grabbed Tan Wang's wrist and pulled it back. The latter felt a force penetrating inside, and immediately his muscles tensed and twisted, breaking his fingers apart.
At this moment, Chen Chuan lowered his left hand and grabbed the middle of the blade with a snap. While turning his waist and pulling, he opened his right palm and headed straight for Tan Wang's face.
Tan Wang felt that the blade that had been wrapped around him was being pulled away. Naturally, he was unwilling to let go. As he struggled, his center of gravity tilted forward. He saw that the palm was coming at an extremely fast speed, almost touching his face.
His pupils shrank as if he sensed danger. At this time, he tilted his head back, and the muscles in his neck squirmed, stretching out of thin air. His entire head almost folded onto his back, thus avoiding the attack. Then he raised his hand again to block Chen Chuan's palm.
If someone was standing behind him at this moment, they would be able to see a smile on his face as he tilted his head back.
He is no longer in a hurry. As soon as Chen Chuan's offensive is over, he will immediately use the Secret Snake Cult's Secret Snake Grappling Technique, using the high flexibility of his limbs and some modified joints to grab his opponent. Once he succeeds, unless the opponent is much stronger than him, he will be entangled to death.
Chen Chuan also felt that this kind of fight was very disadvantageous to him, because he did not pose enough threat to Tan Wang with his bare hands.
As long as the latter can withstand his pressure, he will definitely use his experienced close combat skills to fight him, so that he will inevitably fall into a passive position and will no longer be able to control the direction of the battle.
At this time, he did not crash into the ground, but responded quickly, raised his knees and kicked with his feet. When he was blocked by the opponent, he used the force to step back, bent his body slightly, reached down with both hands, and grasped the handle of the knife. While stepping with his feet, he turned his waist at the same time and swung it upwards suddenly.
This time, the alienated tissues all over his body pushed forward layer by layer, with such great force that the mud under his feet sank.
Tan Wang felt a powerful force coming towards him, and his expression changed slightly. If he didn't let go of the blade, there was a high possibility that his whole body would be lifted up. Even if he could stay still, those universal snake limbs would most likely be broken under the confrontation between the two.
After he found that he might not be able to lock the knife, he simply gave up and loosened his snake limbs. He turned around on the spot, his body circling like a snake, and then jumped forward, suddenly pouncing in front of Chen Chuan, with his hands open, ready to hug his waist and legs.
At this time, Chen Chuan raised his hands, exposing the wide-open goal, and there was no time to cover it. As long as he stepped forward and hugged him, he could still achieve his original goal.
Unexpectedly, Chen Chuan still had strength left at this time, and he took a step back in time, flicked his wrist backward, sank his body at the same time, and aimed the long and narrow handle of the knife downwards and stabbed it. Tan Wang narrowed his eyes and had to dodge sideways, while Chen Chuan turned his waist, moved his arm, turned his wrist again, and slashed horizontally in the direction he dodged.
Tan Wang had to roll sideways to avoid the attack.
Chen Chuan swung the long sword away with one hand, forcing Tan Wang to retreat, then slowly retracted the sword and held it firmly with both hands, with the tip of the sword pointing at his opponent.
Tan Wang's face turned slightly grim, and he had returned to his previous rhythm. In this case, he could only choose the method he didn't want to use in the first place.
By stimulating the alienated tissue through a certain breathing method, the combat effectiveness can be improved for a short period of time. However, he himself can withstand it, but the universal implant may not be able to withstand it.
However, even if he didn't do this, the implant might not last long. Moreover, he thought that he had just figured out Chen Chuan's limit. He only needed to increase his combat power a little, which would be enough for him to resolve the battle. So he opened his hands and the breath valve in his body suddenly opened.
Chen Chuan suddenly saw that Tan Wang's back and chest suddenly rose and fell faster, and his eyes began to become bloodshot. He immediately realized that the other party must be taking a method of stimulating the alienated tissue.
This should be the opponent's final killer move. If that's the case, then it's about time.
He took a long breath and began to practice the Furnace Breathing Technique. In an instant, all the energy that had been accumulated over the past month was released from the alienated tissues under the combined effects of internal and external breathing and transferred to his limbs and bones.
His body instantly became scorching hot, and a large amount of white steam rose from his body, mixing with the rain. Under the strong wind, it seemed to be spinning and rising!
He lowered his center of gravity slightly and suddenly rushed forward, followed by a flash of sword light that split the rain curtain!
Tan Wang was shocked because Chen Chuan's speed was even faster than before. He could hardly see him clearly and could only dodge by feeling to keep distance.
However, the knife light chased after him like rolling snow, and he had to block it with his arm. But at the moment when the two came into contact, he suddenly felt a lightness somewhere in his body, his pupils shrank rapidly, and his body retreated rapidly.
Chen Chuan stood where he was and did not chase after him. He just swung his blade, and then he heard a "click" sound and saw an arm falling from the air.
In the previous slash, he combined the furnace breathing method and used a heavy-slashing sword force that he had never used before. At this moment, after the force was poured into Xue Jun's sword, the sword also vibrated slightly.
Tan Wang's breathing became rapid, and the wound quickly closed due to the movement of muscles. However, without an arm, not only did his combat effectiveness drop significantly, but even his balance was affected. The implant also became increasingly incompatible due to the series of intense use just now.
At this moment, a flash of lightning flashed in the sky, and the sky and the earth suddenly became as bright as day. In the blurred vision, Chen Chuan was seen walking towards him with a knife in his hand. His whole body seemed to be shrouded in swirling white mist, and his face was no longer clear. Countless raindrops fell on the blade, breaking into even smaller water droplets.
At this moment, the idea of escaping from here emerged in his mind. Then the figure disappeared from the spot again. He retreated hurriedly, but the lack of balance and the decline of physical strength made his speed slower than before.
With a clang, a huge gap was cut in the chest and abdomen. He staggered when he landed on the ground, then bent down and squatted, and a large amount of blood and tissue fluid sprayed on the ground.
He propped himself up on the ground, then covered his stomach, struggled to get up, and stumbled out.
Chen Chuan stabbed the Snow Lord Blade into the ground and strode forward. He reached out and grabbed Tan Wang's hair, pulling it back so that his face tilted upward. He clenched his fist, slowly raised it, and said, "Teacher Tan, I remember you asked me if I was willing to go to the Central City with you as a servant..."
The raised fist suddenly fell down and hit Tan Wang's face hard, and several teeth and blood flew out.
"That's my answer!"
At this time, Tan Wang laughed, as if he was mocking something.
Seeing this, Chen Chuan punched down again, one punch after another, and he kept hitting until Tan Wang's facial bones and teeth were shattered, leaving only a mess. After he completely lost consciousness, he let go and let him fall into a ball of mud mixed with rainwater.
He stood there, slowly regulating his breathing. As a wisp of white air came out, his burning body gradually calmed down. He looked up at the sky, feeling the rain gradually weakening. This storm was about to end.
