Atlas of Heaven and Earth
Chapter 539: Yin and Yang

Chang Kuanghai stood there, the gash above his collarbone gradually closing and healing. There wasn't even any blood seeping out; it was being contained by the internal Mutated Tissue.

In what seemed like a blink of an eye, there was no trace of it left.

He glanced at the axe still embedded in the ground, wanting to find a way to retrieve it, because fighting empty-handed was a disadvantage. Although the damaged flesh could still be quickly repaired, it still took a bit of time, and too many cuts would Influence his combat performance.

But he noticed that Chen Chuan , though far away, was clearly waiting for him to try and take it. Just a moment's delay would give him a chance to suppress him again.

So, after thinking about it, he simply gave up and decided to find another opportunity in the upcoming battle.

Chen Chuan made some adjustments on the spot, gave the Snow Emperor Blade a slight shake, and then stepped forward. The first two steps were relatively slow, but with the third step, his figure suddenly accelerated, heading straight towards the front.

He had a weapon in hand, while his opponent was unarmed, so some attacks didn't need too much consideration.

Chang Kuanghai split his legs, lowering his stance slightly, with his arms horizontally in front, one above the other. His eyes were fixed on Chen Chuan through the gap, preparing to meet the attack.

Seeing the tip of the blade coming straight for his face, he narrowed his eyes slightly, arched his back, and actively went forward to meet it. At the same time, he flipped his arms outward, fingers spread, trying to use his body as an anvil to hold off the long blade, and then use his hands to lock and seize it.

Before this move could fully materialize, Chen Chuan turned the Long Sword horizontally, the blade brushing across the surface of his thick arm, instantly creating a thin bloodstain. However, Chang Kuanghai "s expression didn't change, and the wound almost instantly healed as the blade left.

At this moment, Chen Chuan stepped to his side and slashed at the back of his leg. The latter met the blow with his knee turned outwards, blocking the slash.

Chen Chuan "s body leaned forward, as if trying to get behind him, but after Chang Kuanghai "s center of gravity swayed slightly with this movement, he suddenly took a step back, while sinking his waist and back, driving the Long Sword downwards, a cold light directly cutting at his ankle.

Chang Kuanghai "s expression condensed, immediately channeling Strength downwards, planting his feet firmly, preparing to withstand this blow. His whole body was firm and solid, and this blade wouldn't cut off his legs, but the Strength attached to the blade was enough to make him lose his balance.

However, just as this blade was about to fall, a light flashed, and it actually moved upwards, slashing diagonally at his lower abdomen. He immediately pressed his hand down to block the blade, but at this moment Chen Chuan suddenly stepped forward, instantly reaching his side, and the blade smoothly wiped across the other side of his knee, creating a bloody gash.

With these few moves, he fully utilized the advantages of the Snow Emperor Blade's Long Sword and his own Speed, so he succeeded repeatedly. And with the Long Sword in hand, the opponent's fists and feet couldn't reach him at all, and couldn't form an effective Counterattack, thus forming a situation where only he attacked, and the opponent could only passively endure.

Chang Kuanghai was very calm at this moment. These small injuries were nothing to him, especially since those skilled in Iron Body Training were always known for their combat resilience. He could support himself for days and nights without changing his expression.

But the problem was that he came here to seek a breakthrough in Spiritual Power, to perfect himself, and to reach a higher level.

And the Heavens' Forgiveness Fist he practiced was a fist technique that greatly emphasized progress, requiring the Spirit to be stimulated and sublimated in battle. The firmer the will to fight, the more intense the battle scene, the higher the Spirit.

Now, just staying in place and being beaten passively, the Spirit was not in line with the fist technique, so he couldn't get any benefits from the opened Heavenly Gate.

So he had to find a way to change the situation.

After taking several more blows from Chen Chuan , his chest rose and fell rapidly, and it seemed that his heart was thumping like a drum at this moment.

He looked as if he had become slightly thinner. At this moment, the Blade flash came again, and an elbow met it, parrying the blade with a clang. Then, shaped like a bull's horn, it was placed in front. At this moment, the upper body remained still, but under the soles of the feet, there was an extremely subtle exertion of Strength, and he burst out with a bang.

This kind of short burst was a unique skill in the Heavens' Forgiveness Fist, called Elephant Ox Charge. If a person was trapped in an army formation, surrounded by layers of spears and shields, with no room to maneuver, then this burst would instantly smash the army formation and break through the encirclement.

And at this moment, his Speed and Strength would be doubled!

Seeing that he was almost in front of him in an instant, Chen Chuan had no way to avoid it, so he stepped on his back foot, leaned his body forward, and stretched out his other hand, pressing it on the elbow of the opponent's charge with a snap. Circles of dust and air waves exploded around the two of them. Although he blocked it, he was still pushed back.

This time he retreated a full seven or eight meters, with bricks and stones flying under his feet, plowing a gully.

Once his figure stopped, Chang Kuanghai exerted Strength in his waist and back, and the raised elbow drove his forearm down, the fist in front suddenly slamming forward like an axe hammer.

This was a unique "Sky-Shaking Hammer" in the Heavens' Forgiveness Fist, and he was much taller than Chen Chuan , and this blow was struck from top to bottom, with the latter's entire body almost within the range.

Chen Chuan looked like he had nowhere to hide, but his eyes were very calm. When the fist fell, his whole person seemed to move to the side as if unaffected by the impact, avoiding it.

Chang Kuanghai didn't expect him to be able to dodge like that, but the Heavens' Forgiveness Fist, when practiced to his level, allowed Internal energy to be released and received freely. Seeing this, he immediately stopped the fist momentum in time to avoid being carried away.

However, he did pause after all. At this moment, Chen Chuan released the Snow Emperor Blade, and with both hands, he grabbed his arm, his fingers deeply sinking into the solid muscles, using a Seizing Technique.

Chang Kuanghai felt that something was wrong. After all, he had an Iron Body Training physique. Even if the Seizing Technique Strength attacked, he was not immediately taken down and lost the ability to resist. Immediately, he turned his Internal energy, and his other hand smashed towards Chen Chuan , trying to force him to let go.

At this time, Chen Chuan raised an elbow to Block. With this collision, both of them shook, but Chang Kuanghai was not able to break free from the control. So he alternated his hands, moving along Chang Kuanghai "s arm veins, quickly approaching the throat and neck, while Seizing Technique Strength continued to erupt.

Chang Kuanghai felt that half of his body seemed to have signs of sourness and weakness, and once the throat was locked, then this battle didn't need to be fought.

So he exhaled outwards, and the muscles on the grabbed arm tightened outwards, and a strong shaking Strength burst out.

Chen Chuan "s fingers were immediately shaken open, but he didn't let go because of this. Taking advantage of Chang Kuanghai "s exertion, he leaned forward, stuck to his body, and both hands slid down at the same time, grabbing his waist and hips, wanting to use a grappling Strength.

From seizing to grappling, the change between Internal energy transitions was extremely natural.

Chang Kuanghai "s expression changed. If he was really caught, his whole body's Internal energy would not be able to be activated, and he would still be at his mercy.

At this critical moment, he suddenly used reverse breathing.

In this instant, his body suddenly changed from hard to soft. The originally strong and solid body seemed to have no bones, and the penetrating Grappling Strength disappeared. At the same time, he quickly reversed his breathing, and instantly changed from soft to hard again. Between a contraction and expansion, a strong Strength vibrated from inside his body.

This was the "Heaven Earth Pull" in the Heavens' Forgiveness Fist, which reversed Yin and Yang by reversing breathing to deal with various Internal energy.

Chen Chuan felt these changes in him, knew that it would be difficult to succeed if he continued, so he immediately retreated backwards, grabbed the Snow Emperor Blade that had not yet fallen to the ground, and retreated to a distance where he could fully wield the blade before stopping.

Chang Kuanghai also needed to adjust himself because of several consecutive bursts, so he didn't come up to chase.

Chen Chuan looked at his tall body. If Wei Wusheng sought the combination of Yin and Yang, then Chang Kuanghai "s Iron Body Training had brought the Strength of Yin and Yang to the peak, and he could be said to have achieved a balance of Yin and Yang.

There were almost no obvious shortcomings in this person's whole body, and his Spirit was strong and condensed. For such a person, unless his physical Essence Blood was exhausted, it would be useless to attack from the outside.

Then, it could only be like this...

He raised his hand and inserted the Snow Emperor Blade into the ground.

Seeing this scene, Chang Kuanghai said in a deep voice, "You don't need it?" He was a little strange. Chen Chuan clearly had an advantage with a knife in hand, and he didn't know why he made this choice.

Chen Chuan said, "Because it's not necessary."

Just now, he kept dragging the blade across the opponent's body, ostensibly just planning to harass the outside, but actually trying to induce the opponent to take the initiative to attack, and then solve him with capture and wrestling methods.

But now that it couldn't be done, there was no need to fight like this anymore.

Although the opponent seemed to have no weaknesses, there was not really no way.

No matter how strong Iron Body Training was, it had its limits.

He took a deep breath, and after the constraints of the Mutated Tissue in his body were released, the Furnace Breathing Technique was also fully activated, and wisps of white smoke emerged from his body.

Then he raised his head, and his hair was rolled up by the strong airflow from the Fissure. The next moment, the figure standing there was blurred.

Chang Kuanghai was immediately vigilant. He lowered his center of gravity, leaning his body forward, ready to defend against the impact.

But before he could finish this action, he found that Chen Chuan had already arrived in front, and his body leaped into the air, and the fist raised in his hand seemed to pause for a moment before suddenly smashing down!

In this instant, it seemed that the surrounding air exploded!

He also reacted quickly. With breathing drummed up, Internal energy rose from under his feet, raising his hand to meet it.

With a bang, a strong and abundant Strength came from above at the point of contact of the arms. He groaned, his nostrils dilated, his face flushed, and his whole person couldn't help sinking down. The ground under his feet cracked and collapsed, and the pants on his legs split under the bulging muscles.

However, before he could adjust, Chen Chuan "s second punch smashed down. Because the Speed of this punch was extremely fast, and the aftershocks of the previous punch had not yet dissipated, he had no time to dissolve Internal energy, and couldn't resist for a while. With a bang, he knelt down on one knee.
