Chapter 560 Responsibilities
Chen Chuan stood at the edge of the crack with a knife in his hand. After waiting for a while, he saw three mounted warriors riding their horses to the top of the mountain. After reaching the outside of the crack, they got off their horses and walked towards here.
The first one was wearing full body armor, a face armor, and holding a white-garlanded spear in his hand. He looked like an elite soldier.
This person might be of the same rank as the Iron Demon he had encountered previously, and judging by the mental threat he posed, his strength might even be higher. The two people behind him were two attendant warriors.
After entering the rift, the on-duty warrior immediately saw him, and his eyes behind the visor seemed to change slightly. Without the slightest hesitation, he directly transformed himself, and white alienated tissue tentacles instantly emerged from his body.
This time it was not a surprise battle, but the person had known that there was a problem on the mountain and came here to deal with it, so he did not hold back at all and immediately entered his peak state.
Chen Chuan also stepped forward with a knife at this moment. His steps were very calm, and he seemed not to care about the other party's transformation at all.
And at the moment when his spiritual power was transformed but had not yet completely merged with his original body, a light flashed in his eyes, and he used the "God-Shaking Hammer" to directly crash forward!
In the past, he might have needed weapons or other media to use this technique, but now it is enough to attack from a distance.
As a result of this collision, the warrior on duty suddenly lost his mind for a short time.
At that moment, Chen Chuan had already walked up to the man quickly and steadily, raised his knife, and slashed diagonally. After a flash of knife light, the tall and majestic figure in front of him was split in two, including the body and armor.
His entire set of movements is clearly visible and very rhythmic, with a sense of leisurely beauty throughout.
To the two cavalry soldiers behind him, he just walked forward and with a simple slash, the spear and upper body of their commander flew out.
Before that half of the body hit the ground, the knife flashed again, and the head that was originally attached to it also flew away.
Chen Chuan maintained his final knife-drawing posture. A torrent of water swept through the crack, lifting his hair and clothes. A head rolled out in the distance.
The two on-duty warriors were greatly shocked. They never expected that their commander would be killed in just one move. The opponent they encountered this time was undoubtedly far beyond their ability to deal with.
However, under the old imperial military system, people like them who had attendant warriors shared the same fate as their commander, and there was no possibility of escape.
If they died in battle with the commander, their families would be well taken care of. If they fled back, not only would they be subject to military law, but their families would also be implicated. Therefore, at this moment, the two of them had no way to retreat and both stepped forward with red eyes and spears in hand.
No matter what their intentions were, Chen Chuan would not hold back since they were enemies. He stepped forward to meet them, and with a flash of two swords, he killed the two men on the spot in an instant.
After finishing off the three men, he shook the blade and stood up again.
A slight feeling of emotion welled up in his heart. If it were the time of the previous fusion, he would have to go through a tough battle facing three such enemies alone, but now it was just a blink of an eye.
In addition to mastering more skills here, one's own strength has also increased significantly.
At this time, he looked at the weapons in the hands of these people one by one. Except for the sword on the duty warrior, which was somewhat interesting, the rest had no collection value.
He felt a little regretful, walked forward to take off his sword, and walked back with it, returning to Chen Bi Tong who was still sitting there.
"Teacher Chen, they won't be coming up for a while, so we can continue our conversation."
Chen Bitong looked up at him: "Captain Chen, what else do you want to know?"
Chen Chuanshuo said, "What I want to know is, Teacher Chen, how did you know the rift would open here? And why are the old imperial army from the fusion land right across from it? Is there some connection?"
Chen Bitong did not hide anything and answered his question directly:
"Because in order to split the sub-body and find the place where 'pure essence' exists, the rift must be expanded to a certain extent.
Relying solely on the natural cracks that appear after the mother shrimp splits is very unstable.
But if there is someone on the other side of the rift who cooperates with us and provides some guidance, we can try to stabilize it.
So this time, we took advantage of the old imperial family's desire to seize the opportunity of the split of the mother scorpion to break into the central city. We sent people to communicate with them in advance, and at the exact time, we simultaneously activated the iron armor jade stakes from the same cultivation pit, thus guiding the formation of a stable rift."
Chen Chuan looked at him and said slowly, "So, Teacher Chen already had some contact with the old imperial family?"
Chen Bitong said: "The approximate time of the division and reproduction of the mother worm is clear to the other side. After the gap appears in the world ring, the old imperial family will definitely take advantage of it and make a move, most likely trying to break into the central city.
Rather than letting them break through on their own, it would be better to identify a location in advance so that we can control them and block them at the rift gate."
Chen Chuan understood that this was just taking advantage of the old imperial family, and the whole thing could not be done by Chen Bi alone, there must be someone else cooperating with him.
Chen Bitong then said solemnly, "Captain Chen, I will not let these people rush through this rift. From the moment the rift opens, I will defend it until it closes."
Chen Chuan knew that he was not bragging. If there were no fighters, this guy could indeed do it.
Before the rift, this person was able to dodge and shuttle, and he could also use his mind to mobilize that kind of power. Even some people who were at the same level of strength would probably not be his match.
At least there was no way to deal with the Flying Dragon Fist he unleashed before the rift.
"It's not just me," Chen Bitong turned his gaze outside, "Did you see those people following me outside?
They were all my subordinates once, but each of them had severe injuries, so they voluntarily underwent body transformation. None of those who followed me here today thought of returning alive."
Chen Chuan asked, "What about Assistant Fang?"
Chen Bitong said: "His father was once my comrade-in-arms and died of the same infection. I advised him not to come with me, but he insisted on doing so and hoped to make this change with me."
Chen Chuan nodded, thought for a moment, and then asked, "I have another question. Even if the rift can control the position, how do you know that the split body will fall in this position?
As far as I know, the appearance of splinter bodies is mostly disorderly. Apart from the first wave, even the Ministry of Defense has difficulty in fully confirming the subsequent ones."
Chen Bitong shook his head and said, "Actually, I don't know, but there is a way to guide it. Remember when I borrowed the field resources of the mother of the worm during training?
After borrowing the resources of the field, I used something to establish a connection with the spirit of the mother, and over a period of up to a month, this connection will become deeper and deeper.
Although it will not cause any impact on the mother shrimp itself, when it splits, the probability of this thing giving birth to split offspring will become very high.
And if the splinter bodies don't appear nearby, as long as there is a nearly stable rift here, it will be easy to attract them here."
Chen Chuan now understood. It turned out that this person had already started making preparations at that time.
At this time, he looked at Chen Bitong and said slowly: "Then one last question, what happened to you when I was fighting with you just now, Teacher Chen?"
Chen Bitong looked up and said in a deep voice, "Captain Chen, I know what you want to ask. I have never made any deal with the other party. This is my bottom line.
Captain Chen, you must remember to never make any deals with the other side. Even if it appears to be beneficial to you on the surface, there will be an unbearable price behind it.
After a pause, he continued, "Although I am confident that I can defeat many people this time, I believe that my current strength is still insufficient to successfully carry out the plan, and I may not be able to hold on to the end, so I made another choice.
Remember the 'color printer' I told you about?"
Chen Chuan nodded.
Chen Bitong said, “I told you that the Yin Se person can sneak into a person’s consciousness and change him.
But what I didn’t tell you is that people with a strong sense of power, especially those with strong enough spiritual power, can actively infect others and then use its power for their own benefit.
The one who can print colors is not an independent existence, but is connected to a higher being, and the power also comes from there.
Therefore, this approach is equivalent to borrowing power from a certain existence.
But He will come back at any time to take back His power.
So when I drew the power from another world into the rift, He was drawn in. If I can't suppress the power of the Ink Monster, I will become another person."
At this moment, his voice was low, "Although this person may have the same goal as me due to my obsession, that would no longer be me. I don't know what I will do in the end, so I would rather someone stop me before that happens."
Having said that, he pushed himself up with both hands and slowly stood up from the ground. When he stood up straight, his original injuries were no longer noticeable.
He looked at Chen Chuan and said frankly, "We have prepared some kind of induction in advance. As soon as the fission body enters the rift, it will search for the place where the 'pure matter' exists. When the rift expanded just now, if nothing unexpected happened, the rift where the pure matter existed should have been torn open.
Captain Chen, I have done what I should do. It is up to you to decide how to deal with me next. It’s just…”
He looked to the side of the crack, his back extremely straight.
"I have guarded the World Ring my entire life, never letting a single enemy I could defeat slip through, even when a breach occurred. I hope Captain Chen will give me a chance to fulfill my final duty."
