Chapter 1403 Clashing Against All Obstacles

Chen Chuan carefully sensed that what was blocking him was the power of some kind of lost object.

He had some lost items on him that could help him deal with the situation, but he didn't use them.

When the enemy attacked him, he not only did not ride a mount, but he also did not use his outer armor. This should be because he had the same idea as them, which was to come up first and test the waters.

After all, neither side knows exactly what the other is hiding. By constantly applying pressure, they can force the other to reveal more details, and then formulate tactics based on the specific situation.

He thought the same thing, especially since the lost item made him even more vigilant. He needed to reveal as few of his trump cards as possible, and he wasn't prepared to use them until he was absolutely certain he could eliminate certain important targets.

His courage to do so stemmed from his absolute confidence in his own abilities.

At this moment, the force that was hindering him subsided, very briefly, almost in the time it took him to change his mind.

Just as he was about to catch up with Yuan Congye again, someone in the arena had already come over. General Wei Tie Rugan rushed in front of him and swung his axe down at him.

However, Tie Rugan was no different from Yuan Congye. At the same moment he launched his attack, accompanied by a burst of spiritual light and fire, he was sent flying far away.

After Chen Chuan swung his sword, he could feel that his attack still had not been able to harm his opponent.

The opposing side was indeed well-prepared; it seems that each of them possesses the means to resist their own destructive power.

After the attack, he sensed the influence of the force he had just experienced, causing him to pause and lose his ability to launch a continuous offensive.

Now he was even more certain that what was attacking him was some kind of lost object, rather than some kind of supernatural force.

While the possibility of similar supernatural forces cannot be ruled out, it is absolutely impossible for their effects to be completely identical, or even their influences to be exactly the same. Furthermore, the active consciousness within the implanted body has reached the same conclusion.

After a brief pause, a third figure appeared in front of him.

This time, it was Yuan Rong who arrived, wielding a gilded giant hammer. Taking advantage of Chen Chuan's inability to advance, he swung it around and smashed it down on him, the hammerhead rippling with a powerful rust-colored spiritual fire.

Before he could even bring his hammer down, Chen Chuan had already struck the surface of his hammer with his blade. The thick, viscous spiritual energy on it was easily torn apart, and then a force as vast as a boundless ocean followed.

This time, however, Yuan Rong did not fly out like Yuan and Tie, but instead remained standing still.

This is because Chen Chuan replaced the hard force on his sword with soft force this time, which caused him to consume all the force of his life.

In that instant, he seemed to swell up a lot.

Chen Chuan's eyes flickered slightly. After this attack, he found that although he was still subject to some obstacles, which prevented him from forming a continuous flow of attacks, the impact was much smaller than before.

This shows that if he doesn't try to increase his speed or travel to a great distance instantly, but only engages in close combat, he can break free from most of the constraints.

It seems that the items left behind were specifically designed to limit his speed and disrupt his rhythm.

As the thought crossed his mind, his actions did not stop; the unsheathed Snow Lord Blade once again slashed towards Yuan Rong.

The fact that the opponent was able to block his attack and exhibit such a strange physical condition clearly indicates the presence of supernatural power, such as a means of dispersing power or absorbing damage. It may also have some other effects, but the specifics are not yet clear.

Since he had decided to strike first, he wouldn't stop there, so he quickly unleashed a second strike.

The blow struck him squarely in the chest and abdomen, and Yuan Rong seemed to inflate as if he were being pumped up, his entire body swelling to almost twice its original size.

Chen Chuan saw it and sensed that a power seemed to be being awakened from within this body.

But he remained calm, showing no intention of stopping, and struck the man on the forehead with the third blow.

Yuan Rong's body swelled outwards again, his face turned bright red from the blood rushing to his head, and an extremely unsettling aura emanated from him. The originally rust-colored spiritual light and fire became unusually intense, as if something was about to burst out of his body.

At that moment, a flash of light appeared in the sky, and Yuan Congye, who had been knocked away, returned from the distant sky.

Chen Chuan's strike was incredibly powerful, with an almost irresistible force. Even though his armor protected him from much of the damage, the remaining force still caused him a tremendous impact.

Fortunately, he possessed a unique power called "Diamond Body".

This special power ensures that his body remains unharmed even under powerful attacks.

However, this power has a very short duration. Against ordinary opponents, since the enemy's chance is often only a fleeting moment, a missed attack is enough for him to finish them off. But against Chen Chuan, he needs the help of the lost artifact; otherwise, he won't be able to withstand Chen Chuan's second attack.

That doesn't mean he had no way to deal with Chen Chuan; on the contrary, the current situation was deliberately created by them.

As he approached again, he thrust his spear at Chen Chuan once more. Chen Chuan calmly slashed at the spearhead with his blade, but to his slight surprise, the opponent remained unmoved, as if he had suddenly gained strength comparable to his own.

However, the other party's aura and field were no different from before, so he immediately judged that this was the effect of some kind of strange force.

A strange light flickered in Yuan Congye's eyes; this strange power of his was called "Mountain-Fixing".

If he has been attacked before, he can withstand all the damage if the same person attacks him again in the same way.

If you attack him with a fist, then hitting him with another fist won't work; you can only use a knee, elbow, or other attack method. Of course, you can also deal with him by changing your weapon, but if it's a weapon you've transformed into, you can only use it once.

One of the plans for this probe revolved around his special power.

With the help of a certain lost object, the three of them would take turns approaching, and he would repeatedly provoke Chen Chuan to make moves. Once Chen Chuan's normal methods were no longer effective against him, he could then restrain Chen Chuan directly.

The rest of the group then attacked Da Shun's other two fighters. If Chen Chuan used his trump cards or killing moves, they could still use the same tactics to evade them one by one until they suppressed him again.

If Chen Chuan doesn't move, that's fine. After eliminating other interference, they will concentrate all their efforts on Chen Chuan, which will greatly increase the chances of killing him.

Chen Chuan's first strike failed, so he kicked out from below. His speed was too fast and his strength was unparalleled, so even though Yuan Congye managed to parry with his spear, he was still sent flying again amidst the flashes of spiritual light and fire.

When Chen Chuan saw that the attack had been easily repelled, a thought flickered in his mind, and he realized something.

Just as he was changing his mind, the active consciousness implanted in his body quickly offered several plausible guesses, one of which was very close to the effect of the opposing force.

Just as they had forced the man away, light shone again from outside, and General Wei, Tie Rugan, had returned.

After Chen Chuan waited for him to come over, he swung his sword. As the axe and sword clashed, it was as if a bolt of lightning had burst out in the night sky. Just like last time, Tie Rugan was cleaved away by Chen Chuan's sword without any resistance.

He deliberately sent the people flying these two times, instead of pursuing lethality as he did the first time. From the information he had just received, it was clear that the three people who went into battle in succession were all of the Extraordinary Aspect.

Many supernatural forces are extremely strange, and encountering multiple supernatural forces can be extremely troublesome, not to mention the presence of lost objects that can be used in conjunction with them.

However, most of the supernatural forces that affect the enemy require distance to activate, so he simply knocked away the two who were difficult to defeat and focused on dealing with the one in front of him.

Yuan Rong's behavior was also very strange. Even with Yuan Congye and Tie Rugan holding him back, he showed no intention of retreating. It was as if he was just waiting there for him to attack.

However, he ignored him completely and slashed at him without hesitation, this time hitting him squarely in the neck.

The general showed a look of pain, as if he had reached his limit.

Just as Chen Chuan was about to fight again, Yuan Congye returned. But before he could launch an attack, a figure flashed before his eyes, and Jiang Linghuai appeared in front of him, slamming his long staff down.

Seeing that Yuan Congye was coming fast and fiercely, even if he dodged, he would not be able to save Yuan Rong in time. So he simply went up with his spear and hit him. The two spears and clubs collided, and light and energy burst out, like thunder in the air.

Yuan Congye remained motionless, but Jiang Linghuai's body trembled and he staggered backward.

However, he achieved his goal, successfully blocking Yuan Congye and preventing him from interfering with Chen Chuan.

With no external disturbances, Chen Chuan brought down his sword again, striking Yuan Rong squarely between the eyebrows.

This time, it seemed that something was really alarmed. The point pointed at by the scabbard cracked open, and at the same time, the flesh on Yuan Rong's body suddenly split open, and out came a monster that looked like it was made up of thick bone segments. However, the bone segments were covered with rust, and its whole body was shrouded in a foul smell.

This is the extraordinary appearance of the commander, "Kui Viper".

According to legend, this is a python that lives between Yin and Yang, feeding on the resentment and harm of the world. It perishes in the scorching sun during the day and is reborn again in the moonlight at night.

The extraordinary power possessed by Yuan Rong is also related to the characteristics of the Kui Viper. He needs to endure a certain amount of damage before he can release his extraordinary form. The more severe the injury, the stronger the extraordinary form will be after the Kui Viper awakens.

However, the damage he suffered had to be absorbed by the viper in time before he could take on more. Therefore, he was bound to be unable to withstand Chen Chuan's continuous attacks. Fortunately, with the help of the Lost Item, Yuan Congye, and Tie Rugan, he was able to quickly absorb the damage during the intervals.

Now his extraordinary abilities have finally awakened successfully.

The most distinctive feature of the Kui Viper is that it is not afraid of any harm under the cover of night because it can swallow resentment and evil energy, making it almost impossible to kill on the field.

At that moment, its orange-yellow snake eyes fixed on Chen Chuan, and with a swift movement of its massive body, it swooped down towards him.
