Chapter 224 of "Atlas of Heaven and Earth" kicks off revealing: Before those gunmen pulled the trigger, Chen Chuan moved first, his figure suddenly surging forward.... Find out what’s next!

Before those gunmen pulled the trigger, Chen Chuan moved first, his figure suddenly surging forward. However, these people seemed to barely keep up with his movements, and muzzle flashes erupted instantly. Chen Chuan merely raised his arm to shield his head and face, ignoring everything else. When the bullets hit him, he only felt a slight jolt in certain areas of his protective suit, and then they fell off one by one. At that moment, he spun fiercely with his blade, and with a flash, there was a sound that seemed to be a mixture of cutting through human bodies, firearms, metal, and leather. Instantly, a blade mark appeared on both sides of the carriage walls. The row of gunmen in front paused, and then their upper bodies flipped down in unison, along with all the items they were holding, all neatly cut open along a perfectly smooth line. Chen Chuan looked ahead, his figure leaping forward, Blade flash enveloping him, as he surged forward like a rolling snowball. By the time he planted his foot, the carriages behind him were littered with severed limbs and broken bodies. At this moment, they had reached the last few carriages. But even though the representatives were being manipulated like this, they were still repeating their words one by one. The members of the Resistance Organization initially found it amusing, but now they just felt annoyed and wished they could shoot them all dead. Bao Yuan stood behind the crowd, looking at Chen Chuan with suspicion and uncertainty. He gritted his teeth. The plan had already succeeded, he had even sent out the Telegram. He didn't expect there would be someone who seemed like... He wasn't sure if this was originally arranged by Yangzhi City to guard the train, or if it was premeditated. Now he didn't need to think so much, anyway, the most important hostages were already in his hands. He shouted loudly: "Stop! Are you from the Yangzhi City Government? These are representatives from various companies. If you take another step forward, they will lose their lives! You may be fast, but we are not slow. You can bet whether our triggers are pulled faster, or your movements are faster!" He wasn't entirely bluffing, because when they noticed gunshots outside, the elites in their team had already taken Drugs in time. Now they were all red-eyed, in a state of high alertness and excitement, barely able to keep up with Chen Chuan's movements. Chen Chuan seemed not to hear his words, he swung his Long Sword and continued to walk forward. Seeing that he was unmoved, Bao Yuan immediately raised his gun and shot one of the Company representatives dead. He said sternly: "I'm not joking, these are all representatives of foreign companies. If they die here, you can't afford the responsibility! Now you retreat immediately, otherwise none of these people will survive!" The effects of the Drugs were limited. If they didn't show Chen Chuan their determination and kept waiting here until the Drugs wore off, they would surely die. Chen glanced over, stopped, and then slowly retreated. The crowd watched him nervously, but seeing him move back, they breathed a sigh of relief. Chen Chuan's expression was calm. He needed to resolve this matter as soon as possible. Secret Ritual also had an invasive effect. If the time was dragged on for too long, even if those passengers were lucky enough to wake up afterward, it would probably cause irreversible damage. Compared to the passengers in front, these Company representatives were just a minority. Save them if he could, and if not, there was nothing he could do. If he stalled, everyone would have to be involved. But if he acted now, they still had a chance to survive. So... At this moment, he had retreated to the door, slightly distancing himself from Bao Yuan. Then, he stomped down hard, the wooden planks below him cracked open, and the walls near the carriage door frame were twisted and deformed. He shot forward like an arrow! The moment he made his move, the Resistance Organization members unceremoniously opened fire on the target in their hands, and amidst the gunshots, Chen Chuan crashed directly into them. Whether it was the shields blocking in front or the bodies behind, they were directly sent flying upon contact with him, each landing with shattered bones and ruptured internal organs. The Blade flash of Snow Emperor Blade bloomed, and heads flew wherever the blade passed. Seeing Chen Chuan charging forward regardless, Bao Yuan, who was behind, was furious. With a roar, he punched directly towards Chen Chuan. The Drugs he had taken were undoubtedly the best, and his own Strength was the strongest here. This strike was accurate and powerful. Chen Chuan glanced over, seeing that the skin on the back of his hand was cyan, and something seemed to be swelling inside, he realized there was a problem. He didn't directly chop with his knife, but instead, he pushed his elbow outward, while simultaneously lifting the hilt of the knife to parry upward, using a gentle force to deflect the arm. But at this moment, another change occurred. With a whoosh, three tongue whips shot out from Bao Yuan's mouth, one coming directly from the front, and the other two piercing through his cheeks, stabbing towards Chen Chuan's head from both sides. Chen Chuan merely ducked nimbly, and in just one step, he not only dodged all three tongue whips but also passed by his side. At the same time, he raised his blade to Bao Yuan's neck, and with the forward momentum, there was an immediate sound of friction against a hard object. It could be seen that after the skin was cut open there, a black chitinous subcutaneous armor plate was revealed. Chen Chuan's expression remained unchanged. At this moment, he twisted his waist and used force to drag the knife! This time, the armor plate could no longer block it. As the blade slid and cut through, the head was immediately pulled down, bouncing on the floor when it landed, rolling to one side, while the three tongue whips were still thrashing there. Seeing that there were no more living enemies around, Chen Chuan straightened up. He stared at the tongue whips, recognizing the origins of these Implant. "This is... Secret Serpent Cult Implant?" He had seen Tan Wang's Implant shopping list, which had this item on it. Secret Serpent Cult seemed to provide surgical implants to its own people, as well as providing products to others. He just didn't know if this person was related to Secret Serpent Cult himself, or if he had purchased Implant services from Secret Serpent Cult. But that had nothing to do with him. He retracted his gaze, took a few steps, and reached for the door handle of the carriage behind, intending to see if there were any more Resistance Organization people present. But when he opened the carriage door, his gaze froze. Because opposite him, there were several familiar-looking bodies lying down. One was smashed against the carriage wall, and another opposite was headshot by pebbles. On the carriage door next to them, he could still see the knife mark that had been cut open. This was clearly what happened when he first got on the train... But he was clearly in the last few carriages now! At this moment, he looked at. His mind raced, he closed the door, then turned around and looked back the way he had come, finding that the scene he saw there was still exactly the same as what he had just seen. He had clearly turned in a different direction, but there was still no difference. Even if Secret Ritual could create Influence, it was mostly on the Spirit, and the material Influence was relatively weak, so this was not Secret Ritual, but... Supernatural Entity! Secret Cult could restrain and utilize Supernatural Entity through certain Ritual, such as Two-faced Heart Monster, Mountain Ghost in Xie Mountain, and this one in front of him... However, he didn't know much about Secret Ritual, but he was familiar with Supernatural Entity. He calmly thought, this Supernatural Entity could not be created out of thin air by ritual, and no Secret Ritual could do that at present, so it must have been obtained and restrained from the source of Xie Mountain. After a moment of recollection, he found a very similar existence in the legends of the Three Mountains—hide-and-seek path. Legend has it that there is a mountain road on Xie Mountain. Once a person accidentally enters, whether going up or down, they cannot reach the end, and will only keep turning around on that section of the road until they are trapped to death there. And in this Supernatural Entity legend, it is said that there are little ghosts playing hide-and-seek with people, so if you want to get out, you only need to hide, hide in a place where the little ghosts can't find you, then you can get out. But if you really try to find a place to hide, you may never get out. There is only one way. He closed his eyes, reached out, grabbed the door handle next to him, turned it open, and then stepped out. When he opened his eyes again, he had appeared in a carriage that he had not been to before. When encountering hide-and-seek path, people only need to close their eyes, which means they are hiding in a place where the little ghosts can't find you, then you can go down the mountain. However, the most difficult thing here is that when people are on the mountain road, they cannot walk with their eyes closed, doing so is likely to kill themselves first, but here on the train, there is no need to worry about this problem. Of course, it was only because he knew the solution that he was able to get out. If it were someone else, it would probably be impossible to get out for a while, and the most serious thing about Supernatural Entity was not itself, but the constant invasion, so if he delayed for a little longer, people might not be able to withstand it. But he came out, which didn't mean that this matter was resolved. He got rid of the Influence, but others were still deeply trapped in it, so he had to crack this Supernatural Entity, and to do that, he needed to find the ghost! He observed the surroundings. This should be the last few carriages seaʀᴄh thё Novёlƒire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. But the problem was that even if there were no passengers in this place, but because it involved their own retreat, normally one or two people had to be arranged to watch. Combining the situation of Supernatural Entity, he already had an answer in his mind. He continued to walk forward, came to the last carriage, closed his eyes, grabbed the door handle, turned it open, and then opened his eyes. There were no seats in the carriage in front, only various luggage items were placed, and in the middle, on a box, was sitting a person with secret ritual patterns painted on his face. Seeing Chen Chuan opening the carriage door, this person looked up in surprise, and then panicked and got up and moved backward, saying: "You, how is it possible for you to get here? You, don't come over."
