Chapter 491 Demonstration
With a clang, the Xuejun Sword was completely unsheathed, and the blade emitted a cold and sharp light under the gloomy sky.
Chen Chuan turned his long sword and walked forward steadily.
Compared to the past two months, he has made more obvious progress. In addition to starting to practice spiritual power, the most important physical foundation has also been significantly improved.
And these days, since he is in the academy, he can rely on Hong Fu's sparring partner to allow the power accumulated in his body to be perfectly integrated with himself.
In addition to these, thanks to the constant battles with strong opponents, the second self's resonance with itself has deepened, and it is gradually approaching the third limit.
At this time, he was looking forward to a strong enough opponent, and this dedicated warrior was obviously very suitable.
As he got closer, the other party also jumped down from a high place. Although he was wearing full armor, there was not much sound when he fell. He sank slightly and lost the power.
Chen Chuan could see that the armor on this man's body had clear signs of wear and tear, as well as traces of weapons being knocked against him. These details were all completely simulated.
However, he judged that these simulations might not be like Hong Fu, who could perform various martial arts on her own, but might be reconstructed based on Chen Bitong's memories and experiences.
The on-duty warrior stared at him with his red eyes. He then thrust the spear in his hand into the ground, pulled out the long sword he was carrying, and walked towards him amid the clanging sound of armor leaves.
Chen Chuan rushed forward, but before he could get close, the figure on the opposite side suddenly flashed and was near him in the blink of an eye. The long sword was already coming towards him. The speed did not seem to be particularly fast, but it was smooth and seamless, and there seemed to be no escape.
But he didn't need to hide.
He met the opponent's attack with a backhanded strike of his sword. The opponent could have changed his tactics, but it was obvious that through observing him, he was very confident in his own strength, so the sword's momentum not only did not change, but it even increased its speed a little.
Chen Chuan's eyes were deep. At the moment when the two knives collided, the second me instantly overlapped with his own body. A powerful force was instantly transmitted to the blade, and the opponent's knife was immediately broken upwards.
The dedicated warrior had intended to completely suppress his strength, but he misjudged the power of his sword. This mistake caused all the subsequent prepared moves to be incompatible.
Feeling something was wrong, he immediately tried to make adjustments to deal with Chen Chuan's possible subsequent attacks. Although his movements were fast, there was a brief disconnect with the original connection, creating a gap.
This gap is an obvious flaw in front of an opponent of equal strength.
Chen Chuan did it on purpose, just to take advantage of this gap to open up the situation, so he would not give him a chance to clean up at this moment. He immediately slashed with his sword and followed up quickly.
At this moment, the dedicated warrior suddenly raised his elbow and used the armor on his arm to block. In this way, even if his entire arm was cut off by the knife, he could still use the opportunity to delay for a moment.
In just this instant, he can adjust himself and at the same time buy time for the alienated tissues in his body to fully transform. Once the transformation is completed, his strength will increase dramatically, thus gaining the power to absolutely overwhelm Chen Chuan.
Chen Chuan saw his actions and intentions clearly. If he did not cut his arm at this time, but chose to change his moves, although he still took the initiative, such a transition would give the opponent an opportunity.
This was inconsistent with his original intention, and the advantage he had tried to seize at the beginning would not achieve the desired results, so his eyes flashed at this moment, and he maintained the original sword momentum unchanged.
However, when the knife chopped down the opponent's raised arm, it did not produce the expected cutting effect. Instead, as a force penetrated into it, it generated a strong thrust.
The impact of the two sides' strength forced the on-duty warrior to lean back.
He immediately realized that something was wrong, but the previous knife was broken and his front was wide open. If he didn't want to be killed by the knife, he had no choice but to block it with his hands. In order to ensure that the block could delay the blade, the alienated tissue on his arm was completely tense, and the strength and part of the blood essence were also gathered there.
This was taken advantage of by Chen Chuan, causing his center of gravity to shift momentarily. He knew that he was completely passive, and the only chance of turning around was to complete the transformation in time.
But Chen Chuan did not give him this opportunity, because he had taken the initiative and did not change his tactics, so he was destined to be one step ahead in rhythm. At this time, the third knife passed by as fast as lightning, and the opponent's head flew up.
The blade continued to move after it passed through, and it slashed back again, cutting the warrior in half. The warrior fell to the ground in three pieces.
At this time, Chen Chuan turned the long knife in his hand, took a few steps forward quickly, stepped on the head, and with a snap, he crushed the head and the active brain tissue inside it.
This time he only made three strikes, and an opponent whose strength was comparable to that of the Iron Demon or even higher was killed on the spot. The whole process was quick and neat, without any drag.
The difference here is not just because of his progress in the past two months, but because he used his second self to make the opponent misjudge, and the opponent was doomed to be passive after losing a move from the very beginning.
This is how battles between masters are. Just one error in judgment may lead to different results.
In fact, since the transformation of this dedicated warrior was not completed at all, the strength he exerted was actually inferior to the power displayed by the Iron Demon in the final stage.
Chen Bitong witnessed the whole process from behind and commented: "Well done."
Chen Chuan walked back and asked, "Teacher Chen, how long did it take you to deal with this person?"
Chen Bitong said, "That was ten years ago. I wasn't at my current level then. I remember it was only half an hour. I'm using myself back then to measure you. It seems I underestimated you, Captain Chen."
He looked forward at this time, then walked over, took out a small oil box from his arms, poured it on the body of the on-duty warrior, and then took out a lighter to light it. A raging fire immediately broke out on the warrior's body.
"People like this have a strong potential for physical activation. It's best to treat the entire body, aside from the brain. Burning it with kerosene is the easiest way."
He gestured at the small box in his hand and said, "This oil box I have can be obtained from the Quartermaster's Office. It is originally used for making fires in the wild. One can can be used for several days. I can bring a can with me when I go on missions in the future. It is very convenient to handle."
Chen Chuan nodded. This little knowledge was very useful. He would be leading the team in the integration movement, and figuring out these things was his responsibility to his teammates.
Chen Bitong then said, "Captain Chen, in the fight just now, do you think if you improved your tactics, you could have killed that man in a shorter time?"
Chen Chuan thought about it and thought that if he could burst out all his strength in an instant, it might be possible, but if he used the furnace breathing method right away, he would lose his concealment.
The opponent may also undergo an active transformation immediately, so it is difficult to say for sure.
He said frankly: "I can't be sure."
Chen Bitong said: "You just showed the enemy your weakness, and then attacked and killed him in an instant before he could complete his transformation. This is the correct way.
But this cannot happen again. The remnants of the old imperial family have well-developed information channels, and there are insiders lurking within us. After confirming that you are dangerous, similar opponents will immediately transform after seeing you.
If you kill the Iron Demon, they will definitely not give you another chance the next time they confirm it's you. However, there is a way to do it."
Chen Chuan immediately asked: "Teacher Chen, please give me some advice."
Chen Bitong said: "You must first understand that the things that reside in these people's bodies have their own consciousness, but under the technology of the remnants of the imperial family, they are usually dormant and dominated by the will of the appointed warriors.
When the transformation to activation is completed, the dominant entity is replaced by the parasite. Although the two are symbiotic organisms, the two consciousnesses will be transmitted and handed over during the transformation. However, this spiritual transition actually has gaps. Even a perfectly integrated spirit needs some time to adjust.
This gap is opportunity.
We only need to have a mental collision with him, and only need to restrain him for a moment to make his body and mind disconnected. This does not require too many mental skills, nor does it require to completely overwhelm the opponent. Just a small collision will do, but the timing must be accurate.
Watch carefully."
He nodded at the bell beside his ear, and another soldier appeared on the opposite side, exactly the same as the previous one. He walked forward and pulled out the spear that the previous soldier had stuck in the ground.
Perhaps because he displayed such strong oppressive power right from the start, the newly appeared warrior underwent self-transformation almost immediately, with alienated tissue emerging from his body and filling the gaps in his armor.
Chen Bitong waited for his transformation to be complete before stepping forward. When he was at an appropriate distance, he raised his hand and stabbed him with a spear.
The on-duty warrior also raised the spear in his hand to block, but this time, he seemed to feel something was wrong, so his movements slowed down a little, so he turned his body outward and tried to dodge.
Chen Bitong seemed to know which direction he was going. He turned the spear head and suddenly stabbed it into his face. The force was unleashed and his head exploded in his helmet with a bang.
After stabbing the samurai to death with a spear, he seemed to have no intention of stopping. He looked to the side and saw another identical samurai coming out.
He still transformed from it first, then walked closer and stabbed it with the spear in the same way.
This was exactly the same move as last time, but the soldier still couldn't put up much resistance. With a "swish", he was easily stabbed through the face armor. With the sound of explosion, the pan rolled to the ground, and a pile of rotten flesh and broken bones flowed out.
