Atlas of Heaven and Man.

Chapter 440: Life and Death
The Iron Demon was struck by such a powerful blow that his body could not help but sink downwards, and his alienated tissue immediately contracted to prevent the blade from falling downwards.

However, Chen Chuan did not insist on this. He withdrew his knife and without waiting for his wound to heal, he swung the knife again and continued to cut.

Because of the influence of the severed bones and muscles, the Iron Demon was unable to adjust his movements or strength, and could only barely block. Under the pressure of Chen Chuan's continuous knife force, several deep cuts appeared on his body. He let out a dull hum and retreated repeatedly.

But Chen Chuan seemed unwilling to give up. Just when he was about to continue chopping, the Iron Demon finally couldn't bear it anymore and suddenly burst out with great force again. Only then did he withdraw from the outer circle first.

He stood there, gently swung the blade outward, and threw all the limbs and messy flesh and blood that were entangled on it onto the ground.

The wounds on the Iron Monster's body were healing rapidly at this moment, and the damaged spaces were being repaired and filled by rapidly growing limbs. The cracked bones were also closing up, and within just a few breaths, it was as if it had never been injured again.

Chen Chuan's expression was calm. He had just discovered that although the iron monster in front of him had caught up in speed and strength, the sense of oppression it brought was not as strong as before.

In his opinion, strength and speed need to be fully coordinated to be exerted. If you only have strength but lack flexibility, or if you can't control yourself once the speed increases, then there is no skill to speak of. And Iron Demon has these shortcomings at the moment.

In other words, the subsequent growth was not beneficial but hindered.

He looked at the limbs on the man's body. As a fighter, Tie Yao should be aware of these things, but these might not be the other party's own choices.

He slowly pointed the tip of the knife at the opponent, and the mist on his body and the light mist above slowly rose.

None of this had anything to do with him. He only knew that after completing this task, he could return to the central city and receive guidance from a higher level of power.

But before that, you have to get rid of what's standing in your way.

He swung the blade and rushed forward, the blade light colliding with the spear in his hand repeatedly, but after a few hits, he felt the opponent's strength began to disperse and his speed gradually couldn't keep up.

He flashed his sword and swung the spear away, then made two quick chops in succession. Although the Iron Monster managed to hold on, his posture was obviously disordered, and the center of gravity under his feet also shifted during the movement.

He exerted his strength and thrust the long knife out quickly, stabbing it into one of his shoulder sockets. The force of the blow penetrated his muscles and bones, as if it would burst the muscles and bones there in the next moment.

The Iron Demon's eyes changed, and he mobilized the alienated tissue there to shrink as hard as possible, while the little blood and essence stored in the heart was transmitted outwards, trying to quickly repair the damaged parts.

Seeing the strength gathering there, Chen Chuan's eyes flashed, and he suddenly withdrew his sword and slashed it outwards.

This attack was as fast as lightning, because he saw that the opponent was not able to react in time when mobilizing the alienated organization, so with this knife, the arm holding the spear was chopped off and flew into the sky!

The Iron Demon stared at him with his red eyes, but seemed to feel nothing. The other whip hand swung towards him suddenly, wrapped around his body, and tried to pull him towards itself.

Chen Chuan immediately spread his feet apart, lowered his center of gravity, and stood still. At the same time, he took a deep breath, and his skin became even hotter and hotter.

He stretched out one hand, grasped the limbs of the whip and pulled them, and the limbs suddenly straightened. At the same time, he raised his knife and slashed it hard, instantly cutting the whip apart.

Without waiting to shake off the limbs entangled in his body, he stepped on the ground with his toes and leaped forward suddenly. In an instant, he was close to the iron monster. Then, using the force of the forward rush, he stabbed his knife in the belly, piercing through the outer layer, penetrating into the internal organs, and stopping at the hard spine.

Although this attack did not pierce the Iron Demon, it made it stagger backward. He reached out and grabbed the broken whip limb and dragged it closer. He let go of the handle with his left hand and punched it in the chest and abdomen. Then he pulled hard and went sideways to hit it in the face with his elbow!

The blow produced a thunderous sound and countless cracks appeared on the iron mask. The Iron Demon couldn't help but raise his head, broken teeth and blood spurted out, and he staggered back.

But after stepping back a few steps, the powerful force that penetrated into the chest and abdomen burst out, and the places wrapped by tough tendons there also exploded. Although the limbs there were instinctively contracting and healing, it was visibly that the repair speed had become a little slow.

His eyes flickered slightly. Repairing injuries requires the consumption of blood and essence. The current situation shows that his blood and essence are beginning to be unable to keep up with the loss of battle.

He stepped forward, took out the hilt of his long sword, and pulled it out with a stir. As the Iron Demon groaned, he grabbed its arm and turned around, slamming it to the ground. A cloud of dust exploded on the ground, leaving a deep pit.

The Iron Demon spat out a mouthful of blood and tried to turn over, but when he was halfway up, he was kicked to the ground by Chen Chuan, who then stretched out one hand to hold the one-armed man, lifted him up, and slammed him to the other side. There was a bang, and another loud noise was heard.

The Iron Demon lay there, struggling for a bit, trying to get up again, but what awaited him was another violent slam, followed by the fourth, fifth, and so on...

After an unknown number of times, the Iron Demon could no longer stand up. His body was almost white, as if he had been soaked in water for a long time. However, the originally plump muscles and bones under the skin had now shriveled up, leaving only a thin layer of skin on top. His eyes were also deeply sunken.

His chest was rising and falling rapidly. Above his sight was a figure standing there, looking down at him, but the rising dust blocked his view and he could not see his face clearly.

Chen Chuan thrust the Xuejun Knife into the ground, pulled out the short knife from his waist, half-knelt down, pointed the blade at his neck, grabbed his hair with his other hand and lifted it up, stared ahead, and said, "Have a safe journey."

After saying this, he exerted force with his arms, and with a snap, he felt a lightness in his hand, and then he stood up holding the iron demon's head.

He put the dagger back into his waist, raised the head in front of him, reached out and grabbed the broken mask on his face, and took it off, revealing a bruised and bloody face, but it could be vaguely seen that he was relatively young, and looking at the outline, it seemed like he had seen it somewhere.

As he was staring, suddenly the eyes on that face rolled over, and something white shot out from one of the eyes and suddenly stabbed towards his eyes.

However, just as he got close, he was grabbed tightly by a strong hand and could not move forward anymore.

Chen Chuan looked at the thing without changing his expression. Its body was covered with wrinkles and looked like an elongated brain, which was twisting constantly at the moment. The front part was even curled up under the pressure of his fingers and palms.

He realized that this thing might be the other party's true form, some kind of activated transformation.

According to Instructor Tian Yu and Advisor Rao, even if the body is destroyed, as long as this thing is still there, it can continue to exist. Even after changing the body, if the new body is at the same level, then with the help of certain unique means, it can quickly return to its original level.

But this thing itself doesn't have much power, at least compared to a fighter with full strength, there is basically no other way to deal with it except sneak attack.

He exerted force with his hands and crushed the entire thing. The tentacles and main parts all exploded under the effect of the force, turning into tiny pieces of flesh and blood, which scattered all over the ground.

Judging from the information, as long as this thing is shredded, it will be basically clean. The rest can be ignored, but to be safe, it is best to burn it all. But at the moment, teammates are more important, so you can go and deal with them first and come back to deal with these later.

He tied the iron demon's head around his waist, thought for a while, picked up the mask and put it on, then walked to the side, took back the Snow King's Knife, picked up the two broken spears, and walked towards the river bank.

At this moment, the battle in front was still going on, but the four people could hear that the movement over there had ended. Due to the obstruction of dust and grass, none of the four people knew who had won.

The two on-duty warriors had been very reassured about this, because they always felt that the winner would be their own captain. However, as a figure appeared in the distance and they saw the head at his waist, the two men seemed to have received a huge mental shock, and their originally stable posture was instantly disrupted.

You have to know that the Iron Demon is not only their boss, but also their spiritual pillar. They can hardly imagine that the captain who they think is invincible and almost invincible would be defeated and beheaded.

Under this stimulation, their original biological field also became manic. If they maintained their position at this moment, they could still hold on. If Chen Chuan did not join the battle, it was hard to say how long they could last. But now that they moved, Yuan Qiyuan and Qin Qingque immediately found the flaw.

Yuan Qiyuan let out a "hey" and stretched out his long stick like a poisonous dragon, piercing through the spear. The front end hit his opponent's forehead. The helmet exploded with a bang and his head suddenly tilted back.

He shouted again, jumped up from the spot, raised the long stick with both hands in mid-air and smashed it down with a bang, hitting the warrior's forehead. Blood spurted out of the warrior's eyes, ears, mouth and nose, and the part of the head that was hit was completely deflated. Then it swayed twice and fell straight back.

Qin Qingque let out a clear shout, and a cold light pierced through his neck, went into his opponent's throat, and then came out from the back of his neck.

She held the gun in one hand for a moment, then pulled it out, letting the on-duty warrior kneel on the ground and then fall forward. She pulled out the gun and shook the red tassel, and blood splashed as it spun. Finally, she calmly put the gun to the ground.
