Chapter 388 Breaking the Strength and Killing the Life
When Chen Chuan's knife fell, it felt like it was hitting an extremely tough and solid object.
Looking at the scales on his body, his eyes narrowed slightly.
He had read the information about strength from the Secret Snake Cult, which stated that when the Mysterious Snake Strength was practiced to an extremely high level, the fighter could cause alienated tissue to come to the surface and form solid scales, making it difficult for a sharp blade to cut through it.
However, Xu Xianwen obviously had not yet reached this level, otherwise he would not have been injured by him just now. But now he seemed to have reached this state by relying on some method.
His idea was not wrong. Xu Xianwen released the medicinal power accumulated in his body at once and triggered the pre-prepared ritual. This would allow him to increase his strength in a short period of time, and during this period, he could be fearless of blades with his solid scales.
After Xu Xianwen held the knife, he absorbed the incoming force, twisted his arms, and tried to grab the blade.
This is because even if he can withstand the chopping, the length of the weapon still means that only Chen Chuan can hit him, but he cannot hit Chen Chuan. This is very passive, so locking the weapon is the first thing to do.
Chen Chuan did not give him this opportunity, and quickly drew his sword and struck again.
Xu Xianwen also did not give up at all. He had a ferocious look on his face and rushed forward into the knife's momentum. Every time he blocked the knife, his muscles trembled and he forced the knife away.
At this time, Chen Chuan felt the difference in the opponent's strength from before. Every time he cut into the muscles of his body or arms, there seemed to be a slippery force, making it difficult to absorb all the strength.
There will also be a vibration force transmitted back to him. If he doesn't use his second self to bear it, then his sword moves will not be able to connect smoothly, and he will need to readjust after each move.
Xu Xianwen was always looking for an opportunity to push inward, his arms moving like snakes, exploring and trying to engage him in close combat.
After receiving a few blows from the opponent, Chen Chuan felt that the opponent had indeed become more difficult to deal with after his increased strength. However, one thing was that the opponent had no weapon and he had to get close to him to pose a threat, so he immediately made corresponding adjustments.
He began to consciously increase his speed and expand his moving space. After creating some distance, he used the momentum of his body to drive the power of the knife to perform the slashing.
As a result, Xu Xianwen was immediately put in a passive position.
The increase in strength did not make him faster than Chen Chuan, so he tried every means to get into the inner circle, but now he is in an embarrassing situation where he cannot catch up.
Every time Chen Chuan's quick movement brought about a powerful blow, even though he could resist, he was cut back or retreated to the side every time.
Under such a powerful attack, he was unable to organize an effective attack at all, so he had to give up the idea of getting close to Chen Chuan. Instead, he moved and dodged quickly and then tried to find an opportunity.
The two chased and collided back and forth in front of the lake, like two magnets pulling at each other, quickly approaching each other after separating. Every collision would cause a huge noise, startling the surrounding birds to fly up and down continuously, and the area where the two sides fought was filled with potholes that exploded when they stepped on each other.
After fighting like this for five or six minutes, Xu Xianwen felt that he could no longer bear it.
Because the scales on his body can block ordinary blows, but fighting with bare hands is actually extremely disadvantageous. Each time he needs to consume more physical strength and energy to dissipate the force of the sword.
After a while, the high emotions caused by the rapid growth of the alienated organization began to subside, and his mind gradually began to calm down.
He found that even if his own strength became more advanced, it still could not make up for the loss of his weapon, and this space was not conducive to his performance, but instead made it easier for Chen Chuan to use his sword skills.
So after blocking another slash, he used the force to retreat, turned around and ran again, this time he ran directly towards the lake.
Chen Chuan would never let him get away so easily, so he swung his long sword and jumped after him.
The two of them were not far from the lake, so after just a few breaths, they ran to the vicinity of the lake. At this time, no one stopped, but ran directly forward. The surface of the lake seemed to be stepped on by them like a solid flat land, leaving only two exploding waves behind.
After walking for more than ten miles, Xu Xianwen's eyes wandered for a while, as if he had found something. This was the retreat route he left behind. There were several underground rivers under Lulan Lake leading to the nearby area. As long as anyone went there, no one would be able to find his trace.
So he turned his head, grinned at Chen Chuan who was chasing him, then leaped forward, plunged into the water with a bang, and disappeared in an instant.
Chen Chuan would never let him get away so easily. He tore off his wet coverall and jumped into the water. He reached the deep end of the water in one breath, then naturally adjusted his internal breathing. With a slight push of his hands and feet, he left a trail of water and quickly chased after the man along the traces left by him.
Xu Xianwen noticed that Chen Chuan was chasing him, but he didn't pay much attention at first. As a member of the Secret Snake Cult, he was an excellent swimmer. But after swimming for several miles, he was surprised to find that, just like when they were on land, Chen Chuan was actually getting closer and closer.
There was a hint of ruthlessness in his eyes. He turned around while moving quickly, made a big circle and came to Chen Chuan's left side, then took advantage of the momentum to punch him.
At this moment, he not only has the ability to move underwater for a long time, but his strength can also be more easily exerted underwater.
Chen Chuan did not dodge. He handed the knife to his left hand, clenched his five fingers, turned sideways according to the original momentum, and met the attack with a punch!
In an instant, the two fists collided!
This was just like the day when the Wilderness Faction and the Implantation Faction clashed in the water. The immense destructive power of the two forces was borne by both of them.
Xu Xianwen's muscles and scales squirmed, and the water waves outside his body spread out in circles. As for Chen Chuan, his body became faint, and a shock wave broke out where the two fists collided.
Both of them were pushed back by this force, but at the same time they kicked their legs, quickly spun around along the vortex, and approached each other rapidly again, colliding with each other again with powerful force!
This time the sound was even louder than before, and the spreading vibration killed some small aquatic creatures in the surrounding area.
But the two men did not stop, but continued to move forward, fighting again and again. Each time, they gathered all their strength into one place and then attacked their opponent with all their strength.
The battle inevitably entered a stage of competition of consumption and who had greater willpower and endurance.
This is also inevitable, because Chen Chuan is faster, Xu Xianwen will be caught up no matter what, so if he wants to escape safely, he can only get rid of Chen Chuan first!
This kind of attack has already exerted his maximum ability underwater, and he has to hold on no matter what.
Chen Chuan had no reason to retreat. He had a second self who could divert the damage and was not afraid of injury or long-term consumption. He could continue this competition.
After Xu Xianwen collided with him for more than ten times in a row, he felt waves of fatigue coming from the alienated tissues in his body, and he was somewhat unable to move. It was really that this offensive method that mobilized all strength to fight was too physically demanding.
And the strength stimulated by the ritual in him was fading, but after the rhythm of the battle was picked up, he felt that he could no longer stop.
The key point is that he can't think of a better way to deal with it at this moment, so he can only grit his teeth and persevere, hoping that Chen Chuan will collapse before him.
He continuously urged the essence and blood from his heart to make up for the lost physical strength and maintain the high-consumption energy circulation.
After countless times, the two men rushed towards each other again, but this time, Xu Xianwen felt a sense of emptiness in his body when he was trying to gather his strength. When the two fists collided again, the bones on the surface of his fists shattered, and spread all the way from his arms to his torso. The skin and scales on it also exploded, and countless blood spurted out.
This time he did not retreat, but instead rushed towards Chen Chuan with a ferocious expression, despite the huge impact force.
As long as he gets close, he still has a chance to reverse the situation by relying on the grappling skills of the Black Snake Power!
When Chen Chuan saw him coming, his eyes flashed, but he did not retreat. Instead, he used the impact force to spin on the spot and swung the Xuejun Knife in his hand like a whip!
Due to the full strength of his body, a shock wave even appeared along the cut surface!
Xu Xianwen was shocked when he saw this and dodged quickly, but he was still touched a little. A burst of blood spurted out and drifted away with the water flow. It can be seen that the crack went all the way to his chest, and his shoulder was almost cut off from his body.
This attack completely cut off his possibility of counterattack.
But he knew that there was no hope of escaping, so instead of retreating, he took advantage of the opportunity when the blade passed by and continued to move forward, intending to seize the possible chance. However, as soon as he moved his body, he was hit in the face by an oncoming punch. He suddenly felt dizzy and his whole body became weak.
While his consciousness was hazy, he suddenly felt a hand reaching out to his head. He suddenly realized something was wrong and immediately exerted force to push the hand away.
Upon seeing this, Chen Chuan hung the Xuejun Knife on the buckle on his waist, then grabbed his hair, pulled out the dagger with his other hand, and suddenly thrust it into his throat, piercing his neck in one go!
Xu Xianwen's eyes suddenly widened, and a burst of strength burst out from somewhere. He grabbed his arm and seemed to struggle.
However, although Chen Chuan's overalls were taken away, the protective suit was still on his body, and the ritual inside immediately began to continuously absorb the vitality and blood in his body.
So in just a moment, Xu Xianwen's hands became weak.
Chen Chuan waved his hand and pushed his hand away, then grabbed his hair, pulled out the dagger, gently wrapped it around his neck, and lifted it up to separate his head from his body. The headless body finally stopped struggling and floated weakly in the water.
