Atlas of Heaven and Man.

Chapter 387: Ritual Pattern
Xu Xianwen's perception was quite sharp. When he saw that he still couldn't do anything to him, he immediately changed his tactics, retreated to a slightly further away, and continued to pick up various broken objects in the old temple and throw them at Chen Chuan.

Chen Chuan was not careless. He swung his knife to block the objects flying towards him one by one.

But although it looked like something that was just casually picked up, it contained a heavy and changing force. From this, we can see that Xu Xianwen also has a good throwing skill.

He became more careful, because he knew that these forces would not be without purpose. They were probably just preludes, and the real killer move was hidden behind.

Sure enough, after a moment, a muffled sound was heard, and a wind pressure came from the front, and a huge statue with wide-open eyes gradually enlarged in front of him. It turned out that Xu Xianwen pushed the broken seated statue on the shrine over.

The statue was at least five or six meters tall, with six arms stretched outward, each holding a grappling weapon, almost blocking a large part of his vision. He did not dodge, but raised the knife with both hands and slashed forward suddenly!
A flash of knife light appeared in the old temple, splitting the huge statue in half in an instant. The deliberate use of strength caused the statue to break into pieces and roll back.

Just as the fragments were flying outward, he suddenly realized something, raised his knife and blocked the stick gun that was stabbing from the side, but the force on it felt different, as if it was thrown out.

Then his eyebrows jumped, and he suddenly felt Xu Xianwen approaching him. The latter stretched out one hand to push away the blade, and stabbed at him with the other hand.

Chen Chuan was not panicked at all, he pulled out the short knife from his waist and slashed at him several times. Because the opponent could resist a simple stab, he used the power of dragging and cutting.

What was surprising was that Xu Xianwen did not dodge at all, allowing the knife to cut his arms and head, and the hand that stretched forward came towards his face regardless of everything.

He calmly turned his head and felt a sharp energy brushing across his cheek. He now had no space to cut, so he immediately dropped his knife, clenched his five fingers, and punched the man on the head.

With a loud bang, Xu Xianwen was thrown out, and a huge gap was immediately knocked out in the wall of the old temple. Because it was getting close to dawn, the light from outside poured in, and the interior of the old temple suddenly became much brighter.

As Chen Chuan bent down and picked up the dagger, he felt that he could no longer hear any movement from above the barrier. It was obviously destroyed. It seemed that Xu Xianwen's action just now was for this reason.

But he didn't care about this matter. It was not something he needed to protect, so he didn't even consider it when he was avoiding it just now.

And the processing bureau must have known their location and the direction they were going. Even if they didn't have that, they could find them by following the traces of the two people's way here.

He walked out of the gap with a knife in hand, and behind him, half of the wall of the old temple collapsed with a loud bang, sending out billowing smoke and dust, causing his coat to flutter.

Xu Xianwen had already climbed up from the ground and was standing on the edge of the hillside. He stared at Chen Chuan and wiped the bleeding corner of his mouth. His arms, face, and even chest were covered with cuts. The flesh was rolled up and the bones were visible. However, it could be seen that the wounds were healing quickly.

However, the injuries Chen Chuan inflicted on him were not these. Due to the effect of the ritual, he lost a large amount of blood and no one knew where it went. According to preliminary estimates, it was about one-tenth less.

He did not care about this loss. With the release of the heart's essence and blood, the missing blood was quickly produced, and the body was restored to its perfect state in just a short moment.

On his right hand hung a lasso, with a staff gun tied to the other end. Now he just pulled it and got the staff gun back. He dared to throw the weapon just now, naturally he was well prepared.

But at this moment he did not choose to fight with Chen Chuan again. He looked at the latter deeply, suddenly turned around and jumped down from the mountain.

Chen Chuan followed and soon saw an open area in front of him, and in front of him was a clear lake surrounded by reeds. White reed flowers were swaying in the wind coming from the lake, and on one side of the lake, the morning light was about to rise, dyeing the lake surface with a layer of golden red.

He looked at Xu Xianwen's figure quickly disappearing on the hillside, and he also jumped down and quickly caught up with him.

On the other side of the hill, an off-road vehicle was speeding through the forest. The man sitting in the back seat kept urging the driver in front: "Hurry up, faster!"

He is Hu Ying, a reporter from Fast News Hotspot.

He just learned from internal information that Motie Mountain was attacked by armed thugs, and one of the people who participated in the resistance was the man who killed Wei Wusheng outside the arena.

After knowing this, he immediately realized that this was an opportunity!
Because the area was blocked and deliberately concealed this time, it is difficult for the outside world to get first-hand information.

They happened to be nearby, so they immediately asked the driver to drive around the route the two men were suspected to be chasing. Although this might be dangerous, if they could successfully report the incident, they would receive unprecedented rewards.

"We are driving to the two-man battle route, along the two third-limit battle routes, my God, what is that..."

In the bumpy and vibrating car body, he saw a building on a hill in the distance collapse suddenly, and he couldn't help but get excited. Look, it must be them!

Can you imagine this, guys?
The place where these two people walked was a mess, walls were pushed down, vehicles were overturned, and trees were broken. It was unbelievable. They were just like two iron horse armed trucks produced by Fenghai Company! "After a smooth advertisement for the sponsor, he naturally cut into his own emotions, "I feel my whole body trembling. I am chasing in the direction where they are, but I don't know if doing so will anger them. Maybe the next moment they will suddenly rush over my car and take my life..."

Then he pushed the driver and said, "Don't be afraid, buddy, I'm with you!"

The driver was driving nervously, and when he was pushed by the man, he trembled all over and almost drove the car into a pit. He yelled, "Can you please stop touching me!" But this only led to a burst of unbridled and excited laughter.

As he reported, more and more people noticed him, and the number of spectators behind him also climbed rapidly. Especially when they learned that one of the participants in this incident was Chen Chuan, it aroused the interest of even more people. The audience who watched the fight at the ring venue last time quickly joined in after learning about this.

The processing bureau also noticed this situation at this time. Team Guan took a look and asked, "Have our people arrived?"

"Here we are!"

Captain Guan thought about it for a moment and decisively ordered: "Assign some resources to that reporter, let him see more clearly and understand the situation there first."

Although Chen Chuan started late, this time the terrain was open and his vision was not obstructed at all, so he gradually increased his speed and quickly narrowed the distance between the two people. He then raised his hand and threw out several stones.

Xu Xianwen sensed the sound of wind from behind and immediately moved sideways to avoid it, but this inevitably reduced his speed. He soon noticed the movement of someone chasing him from behind. He shouted, held the gun in one hand, turned around and stabbed!
Chen Chuan dodged by tilting his head, and pushed forward with his knife. Xu Xianwen exerted his strength, held his spear horizontally in front of him, and blocked the knife. With a strong impact, a large number of grass leaves around fell down.

Taking advantage of the momentum, Chen Chuan pressed forward with his sword, pushing Xu Xianwen back a few steps, and then continued with a series of rapid and powerful chops.

Xu Xianwen had suffered a loss from the collision of force just now, and now he had to retreat and parry at the same time. Deep pits were created wherever his feet passed, which made it difficult for him to escape quickly.

Through previous fights, Chen Chuan was already familiar with Xu Xianwen's attack style and had a general understanding of the latter's breathing rhythm.

Although this person's power changes are amazing, after knowing what kind of power this person has practiced, he will know what method to use to target him.

He didn't have to think of anything on his own, as several teachers had already provided him with mature suggestions. However, knowing the suggestions was one thing, but whether he could use them in real battle was another.

He took a breath. Through the battle just now, the results of his practice in these days have been revealed. The alienated tissues all over his body are active and excited, and are in the best condition.

After slashing several times in succession, he sensed a gap in the opponent's breathing, so he shouted loudly, and the alienated tissues in his body rotated layer by layer, gathering his strength on the knife, and then slashed down!

With a "crack", the sword was cut off by him directly. The knife continued to move forward and fell from the center, cutting a deep gash on Xu Xianwen's head, face, chest and abdomen.

But when the front end of the blade cut into it, he felt that the muscle there was very tough and did not cut too deep.

Xu Xianwen's face was ferocious at this moment. He swung his hands and threw two broken guns towards Chen Chuan one after another. Chen Chuan turned the blade and pushed them away.

Xu Xianwen leaped back, putting some distance between him and him. Blood continued to flow down his body, dripping into the soil under his feet. But in just a blink of an eye, the wounds quickly healed under the nourishment of his blood.

At this time, he showed Chen Chuan a ferocious smile, tore off his tattered coat, revealing his muscular, firm and full upper body. It can be seen that there are ritual tattoos on his chest and back.

This is the embedded religious ritual of the Secret Snake Cult. Not only can it enhance his vitality, but it can also withstand large amounts of medicine. Even if he is seriously injured, he can recover quickly.

But the real effect is more than that.

He watched Chen Chuan approach with a knife in his hand again and took a deep breath. At the same time, the ritual patterns on his body suddenly disappeared as if they had sunk into his body. Following this, alien tissues that looked like blue scales emerged from his cheeks and body, covering his exposed body.

At this moment, he crossed his arms and directly blocked the long sword that was coming at him. The place where the sword made contact made a sound like the collision of metal.
