Atlas of Heaven and Earth
Chapter 536: Interception

Chen Chuan glanced at the four people gradually approaching, seemingly not paying much attention. He held onto the Boundary Token and looked at the time displayed on it.

The confrontation with Gong Ying Changxiu had caused them to delay for a few minutes, and any further delay could cause problems.

So he said to Yuan Qiu Yuan and others, "Leave these people to you. After dealing with them, come and join us quickly."

Yuan Qiu Yuan threw the sheath of the Snow Emperor Blade towards him and said, "Captain, leave it to us."

Chen Chuan caught it and sheathed the blade. As for the Flowing Like Cutting on the ground, the team members would naturally clean it up after solving the problem, so he didn't need to bother.

After another glance at the map, since the distance wasn't too far, he decided not to take the car this time. Instead, he stepped in the right direction, causing a loud bang and a burst of gravel as he disappeared from the spot.

In the command hall, Commissioner Liang was watching the situation everywhere, unable to relax on any front. The Fissure occupied by Chang Kuanghai was undoubtedly the most troublesome.

The fastest emergency team would take twenty minutes to get there.

By the time they arrived, it was hard to say how much the Fissure would have expanded. But the good news was that the stability of the Fissure indicated that the Split Offspring was still there. If they could timely resolve the obstruction, it could still be recovered.

At this moment, an intelligence officer reported to him, "Commissioner, Captain Chen is moving rapidly towards that Fissure."

"Oh?"

Commissioner Liang was somewhat surprised. Wasn't Chen Chuan blocked by Gong Ying Changxiu and his group?

The intelligence officer swallowed and said, "Gong Ying Changxiu has been killed by Captain Chen."

Killed?

How long had it been?

Commissioner Liang looked at the time and realized he hadn't misjudged. He immediately reviewed the recent footage and, after seeing Gong Ying Changxiu beheaded, fell into silence.

He momentarily didn't know whether Gong Ying Changxiu was overrated or if they had always underestimated Chen Chuan's strength.

At the same time, Chen Chuan was heading in the direction indicated by the map, but the journey wasn't smooth. The scattered Fissures appearing from time to time always hindered him.

These were unstable Fissures, often releasing strong air currents and inexplicable creatures. If a person rushed in and couldn't find the correct path, they might not return immediately.

Moreover, there were still pedestrians on the road, some fearless, drunk, or drug-addicted people wandering outside, many bitten by flying insects, lying on the ground twitching.

This forced him to pay extra attention, but even so, his speed was much faster than driving.

On the street near the Fissure ahead, Astrid stood on top of a building, with a balloon-like creature floating above her.

This was a Small field creature equipped by Bolun Company for their team, constantly searching and transmitting information within a nine-kilometer radius.

Bolun Company has always been world-class in the fields of super perception and information transmission, and this small-scale regional information dissemination is its specialty.

At this moment, she saw Chen Chuan's image transmitted from the Boundary Token. She looked at it and blurted out, "I know him."

Sieglinde's voice came from the Boundary Token, "Yes, the one who almost sent you to the Hall of Heroes last time. He's heading towards this intersection now. The Company requires us to block him for at least twenty minutes."

"Okay."

Astrid said, "Fortunately, the Company isn't asking us to kill him."

Sieglinde was surprised, "Are you afraid to kill him?"

Astrid rolled her eyes, "I'm afraid he'll kill me."

Although she was controlled by the strange armor that day, part of her consciousness was clear. The scene of being knocked down was deeply imprinted in her mind. She knew the terror of this opponent.

Sieglinde said, "What are you afraid of? The Company's latest Implant has been used on you. This is the most cutting-edge technology, and all tests were completed by you. It can perfectly combine with Fissure traversal tactics. It's amazing, right?"

"Yes, amazing."

Astrid looked down, but it depends on the enemy.

Bolun Company's super Senses Implant, Fissure trapping organization, transmission sensing cable, plus her innate special Spirit ability, are enough to deal with ordinary Martial Artists, but...

As she was thinking, Sieglinde reminded her:

"He's here!"

Chen Chuan turned a corner and, halfway through, suddenly stopped, his body halting abruptly amidst the sound of air currents.

Because ahead, there were crisscrossing cables extending to the high-rise buildings on both sides, almost blocking the entire back half of the street. Moreover, Fissures flickered incessantly, appearing and disappearing, their opening and closing frequency much higher than elsewhere, like countless lightning bolts converging there.

At the same time, a silver light flashed above, and a long spear fell from the sky, piercing the ground not far ahead.

He looked up and saw a figure in knight's armor tiptoeing on a high platform. This armor... clearly belonged to the shepherdess seen at the opera house last time.

The Xi Hui Opera House also had supporters.

Bolun Company?

The knight jumped down from the high-rise building, landing with a clang in front of him. As the figure crouched, hands spread out to touch the ground to dissipate the strength.

After a moment, he used the ground to leap forward, pulling out the spear from the ground as he charged, then turned his hands, leveled it forward, and thrust towards him!

Chen Chuan watched the figure charging at him, the stance, rhythm, and internal energy were all good, but... the movement was too slow!

He seemed to move, his body disappearing in an instant, and the next moment, he suddenly appeared in front of the knight, throwing a punch towards his abdomen.

Just as the fist was about to touch, a flicker appeared in front, and the knight disappeared from the spot, the fist only hitting a Fissure full of light.

At this moment, the knight appeared from a Fissure behind him, thrusting a spear towards him, but halfway through, it was caught with a slap. However, the knight didn't struggle, immediately let go, and with a flicker, disappeared again.

Chen Chuan took the spear, broke it, and threw it at his feet. The opponent seemed to be able to move freely within the Fissures, making it difficult to catch him. He didn't have time to delay here.

With a step, he leaped over a long cable in front of him and continued to rush towards the Fissure.

But this time, before landing, with a flicker of Fissure, the knight abruptly appeared on the side, throwing several daggers at him. After landing on the ground, he rolled, and with a flash from the other end of the Fissure, disappeared into it.

Chen Chuan casually knocked away the daggers, his figure not stopping at all, continuing to run after landing.

Seeing him not stopping at all, the knight became anxious, frequently appearing by his side, either thrusting a sword or throwing something, each time appearing in various positions around him. Regardless of success, he never lingered, immediately hiding in the Fissure after making an attack.

Chen Chuan could see that the opponent could freely move back and forth within the Fissures, possibly sensing the birth and death of Fissures through the long cables spanning the road and guiding the attack direction through the vibration of the cables.

But this alone might not be enough. There should be someone nearby, providing some kind of Spirit sensing guidance, otherwise, it would be impossible to accurately find his moving position.

But he was in a hurry and didn't have the mind to find the person.

Moreover...

Suddenly, the Fissure ahead split open again, and the knight, as expected, leaped out and thrust a sword at him. Without waiting to hit, he hid into another crack.

But at this moment, before she could completely fall into it, a hand suddenly reached out and grabbed her visor with a slap.

After so many attacks, Chen Chuan had figured out the opponent's attack rhythm. This time, he accurately caught the person.

At this moment, his fingers tightened, and the entire helmet was immediately crushed, the metal making a creaking sound of distortion. However, with this force, he found it empty inside.

The entire suit of armor under the helmet also clattered to the ground, scattering all over, seemingly empty.

Chen Chuan's eyes flickered. The person inside must have used the Fissure to escape again, leaving only the armor here. This reaction ability and mastery of Fissure opening and closing were quite exquisite.

But next time, if he appears in front of me again, don't think about escaping so easily.

As for the other one...

He glanced somewhere, no time to deal with it now. With a force under his feet, the air around him made a loud noise, and his figure flashed away.

After he left, Sieglinde came out from her hiding place with lingering fear, looked in the direction he left, somewhat helpless. This wasn't even twenty minutes; it didn't even block him for two minutes.

She also looked at where Astrid had just hidden, she needed to find her quickly, or she might get lost inside.

Chen Chuan didn't encounter similar obstacles afterward, and the attack that wasn't even a fight also slightly elevated his Spirit, which wasn't without gain.

Within a few minutes, he arrived at the location indicated on the map.

At this moment, other teams receiving orders were still on the way, the fastest would take a quarter of an hour.

When he arrived, he saw the bodies of security guards lying all over the ground, a car burning fiercely in the distance, and further away, a huge Fissure existed there.

Bright light was flowing out from there, and snowflakes were flying out, covering the surrounding ground with a thick layer of snow.

At the same time, a tall figure stood in front of the Fissure, a long axe stuck behind him. The falling snowflakes were repelled by the Internal energy on his skin, not a single one sticking to him.

As he gradually approached, he could also see various fierce creatures that had come from the other side, their bodies killed around the person.

At this moment, the person looked over and said in a deep voice, "Finally, you're here."
