Facing the spear flying towards him, Chen Chuan stood there with a calm expression, holding his knife, seemingly with no intention of dodging.

Just as the spear was about to hit his forehead, a long stick suddenly reached out from the side, catching the spear and, with a gentle flick, sent it flying far away.

Yuan Qiu Yuan retracted the long stick, provocatively glancing at the spear thrower.

The Imperial Retainer Warrior remained silent, after throwing a spear, he made no further moves, continuing to stride towards them.

Chen Chuan noticed that as the distance closed, the speed and rhythm of the three individuals were noticeably increasing, their breathing also adjusting and quickening.

On the right, Qin Qing Que seemed unaffected by any influence, she steadily raised her gun, fired a shot, then pulled the bolt and continued shooting.

The three Iron Demons, enduring the gunfire, approached within a range of one hundred and fifty meters, when the two behind the Iron Demon once again took the spears from their backs and threw them towards Chen Chuan and his group.

This time, they didn't just throw one spear, but all of them at once, while the Iron Demon's armor clanked as he leveled his spear and charged forward.

The two warriors behind him, after throwing all their spears, shouted in unison and followed him in the charge.

As the three charged together, Yuan Qiu Yuan and Qin Qing Que suddenly felt a wave of pressure, their breaths catching, they didn't know where this pressure came from, but they felt it.

Chen Chuan's eyes flashed, he also felt it, as someone skilled in energy field techniques, he immediately recognized that the three had combined their energy fields to envelop them, exerting a great pressure on their spirits.

This kind of technique he had only seen in data, but it was the first time he had encountered it in reality.

Because it required the energy fields of the initiators to be highly consistent, sometimes even requiring them to abandon themselves to completely align with others, which is rare among Third-Limit Martial Artists.

But considering that the other party still maintained the old-time personal dependency relationships, it became reasonable.At this moment, if they allowed the opponent to continue pressing down, it would undoubtedly influence their teammates' Spirit. At the very least, they needed to muster more Steady Spirit to resist.

It's important to remember that this is the Convergence Zone. Beyond the actual combat, they also had to consider the fluctuations in Activity Index. The stability of their Spirit was paramount.

His Snow Emperor Blade had already been drawn, and now he stepped forward, deflecting the falling spears while actively advancing towards the three. Simultaneously, he expanded his energy field outward to withstand the pressure.

The moment their energy fields made contact, he felt as if he had hit an incredibly thick and solid barrier, deep and stable, without any gaps or ripples, even to the point of being... eerily silent.

The Biological Field is an aggregation of information for Martial Artists, each unique yet following certain patterns of change. However, the opponent was different.

It seemed as though the opponent wasn't merely human, but something else entirely.

Certainly, those who master Skills undergo changes, but he could sense that the opponent hadn't undergone any form of transformation; they were simply like this from the start.

Even without a full sprint, the distance of over a hundred meters was crossed in an instant. As he stepped forward, the Iron Demon directly in front of him had already closed the distance, charging with a thrust of his spear!

Chen Chuan saw the spear tip aimed at his chest and neck, timing it right, he used his blade to parry outward.

Since the opponent was charging at him, although the momentum was fierce, it lacked variability. If the spear couldn't be retracted in time, he would then push his blade forward, following the spear's shaft to strike straight down the center line!

However, the moment blade and spear clashed, sparks flew.

At the same time, a powerful Internal energy seeped into his body. This Internal energy was seamless and flawless. Although his Mutated Tissue began to guide and neutralize it, it was resilient and solidified, difficult to dissipate no matter how much he tried.

And if it couldn't be completely neutralized, the only option was to endure it.

His eyes were deep and calm. Was this the manifestation of a Martial Artist with near-perfect Spirit and body as mentioned in the data? An ordinary Third-Limit Martial Artist, suddenly faced with such energy field oppression and Internal energy attack, might have their stance shattered in a single spear thrust.

But with his current physical condition, he could withstand and offset these strengths. Similarly, his Internal energy was also transmitted to the opponent.Both of their feet sank, simultaneously getting stuck in the muddy ground, while a burst of energy spread outward.

However, this did not cause them much disturbance.

The Iron Demon retracted the spear with a backward pull, as if his body hardly moved, and the spearhead immediately thrust towards Chen Chuan's waist.

Chen Chuan was already prepared, holding his knife with both hands and striking downward to deflect the spear. As their Internal energies clashed, a loud clang was heard, and both of their bodies slightly trembled.

After a brief pause, they clashed again.

This kind of fight was a fierce contest of strength and each other's physical endurance, as the impact of Internal energy restricted both sides, nearly eliminating the space for maneuvering.

In the limited adjustments, they did not have much room to display Gao Ming Skills, or perhaps pure strength overwhelmed skills, leaving them no choice but to clash head-on.

Each strike from both sides had to deliver enough Internal energy impact to the opponent. If one's strength waned slightly, the opponent could adjust faster in the next strike, applying more pressure.

Chen Chuan had a way to break through this kind of offensive, which was to use Second Self to bear the impact, immediately neutralizing the Internal energy entering his body and thus gaining the upper hand.

However, he had never encountered an opponent who had to muster all their strength with every strike. This battle was a grind for his body, his Spirit, and even his energy field.

Of course, when it was time to use it, he would. Second Self was a part of himself, and using it came without any burden.

Most importantly, he had a feeling that the opponent's strength was not limited to this. Even because of this, he wanted to wait a bit longer rather than rushing to strike.

At this moment, the sounds of battle came from both the left and right sides, as his two teammates also faced their respective opponents. From now on, if anyone on either side couldn't hold on or retreated, the entire balance could be disrupted, and one side might quickly fall.

But he believed in his teammates, and under the observation of the energy field, he didn't need to look specifically to clearly understand the situation of the two.

Yuan Qiu Yuan's side was vibrant and intense, while Qin Qing Que's side was swift and agile, overall very stable, and currently, they were suppressing their opponents. Even if minor issues arose, he could immediately notice and make adjustments.After Yuan Qiu Yuan and Qin Qing Que faced their respective opponents, they both noticed that these two Imperial Retainer Warriors were physically robust, had solid foundations, and were rich in Martial Combat experience, with no obvious flaws in both offense and defense.

Such opponents, even those of higher caliber than themselves, could not be easily defeated in a short time. Therefore, they both suppressed the thought of quickly winning to help their teammates, instead opting to slowly look for opportunities.

The two Imperial Retainer Warriors were very dull in their combat, showing no emotional expression. Their duty was to share the pressure for the Iron Demon and intercept the enemy, without needing to do anything special, not even to win, just waiting for the Iron Demon to determine the outcome.

However, they felt somewhat surprised at this moment.

Because Martial Artists who had fought against the Iron Demon in the past usually could not withstand the abundant and powerful Strength unleashed with each strike, often having to retreat after a few rounds and resort to evasive tactics.

But the more they did so, the less they could hold on for long, and the battle would be resolved quickly. They did not expect that this time, the opponent was steadily engaging in a direct confrontation with the Prefect.

However, this alone did not worry them, because the Prefect's Strength far exceeded what was currently displayed.

As Chen Chuan and the Iron Demon collided, with their Internal energy sinking, the ground where they stood began to noticeably sink, forming a pit. Since the two were not moving, the area of the pit grew larger. From a distance, only the upper half of their bodies could be seen above the ground.

After roughly a few minutes of confrontation, Chen Chuan noticed that the opponent's Strength was gradually increasing. With a flash in his eyes, he also released the restraint of his Mutated Tissue, allowing his own Strength to rise accordingly.

With the continuous increase in Strength, the collision between the two was no longer as simple as at the beginning. Although the movement of the Weapons did not seem fast, the Internal energy transmitted upon impact became increasingly powerful.

First, there was a dull sound of breaking through the air, followed by a burst of energy upon impact. Often, with just one contact, the surrounding muddy ground was pushed outward, spreading in circles like ripples on water.This kind of battle scene also made Yuan Qiu Yuan and Qin Qing Que take notice, but they quickly adjusted themselves, not allowing themselves to be distracted.

Fortunately, although the opponents they faced were tough and steady, they were clearly not the type to seize opportunities. Even if there were some fluctuations in their performance, it remained consistent as before.

From another perspective, this also indicated that they trusted the Iron Demon, believing that they didn't need to take any initiative themselves, just waiting for the Iron Demon to achieve victory.

Despite multiple collisions with the Iron Demon, and each strike mobilizing all his Mutated Tissue, Chen Chuan did not feel the slightest bit of exhaustion.

The Zhou Yuan Strength Method allowed his Mutated Tissue to cover his entire body, and on this basis, through continuous tempering with special drugs, his progress was very rapid.

To be honest, even without relying on Second Self, he could continue fighting like this for one or two days without any problem, and he believed the opponent could do the same.

But he knew that the opponent would definitely not want to drag this out with him, because the opponent had changed their previous avoidance strategy and came so quickly due to being deceived by intelligence. It seemed time was not on their side, so the opponent should change their strategy soon.

The Iron Demon acted faster than he thought.

After several more collisions, he finally used his knife to deflect the opponent's spear, only to find that the strength that should have slowed down the opponent's body seemed to have no effect at all. The spear swung, spun away the long sword, and then thrust forward, quickly reaching his face!
