Chapter 303 - Special Case Department (2/2)
“Azure dragon must have reached a peak in all aspects, Martial arts, Physique Refinement, Dharma Spells and even Soul Energy. That’s what made him your boss.”
“As for White Tiger, he represents Seventh Gold in the west and must be a paragon of martial spirit. So I guess the other belligerent presence I sensed while I was fighting must be him, the White Tiger.”
“The last one, Black Tortoise, is a combination of snake and tortoise, so he must be an expert in both Dharma Spell and Martial Arts”
As Chen Fan went on, Red Sparrow became so terrified that she nearly jumped out of her chair.
“How do you know?” She stammered.
The information regarding the four of them was top-secret of her department. They reported directly to the Military headquarters and other than the top dogs in the military, no one even knew their names. Plus, they always operated clandestinely and had never met Chen Fan even once. Could there be a mole inside the department?
“Azure Dragon is a semi-immoral state cultivator, Red Sparrow was an elite Extraordinary One who mastered the art of fire bending, White Tiger had reached the late-stage of Transcendent State, and Black Tortoise was an expert of Martial-Dharma Dual Cultivation. Haha! It seems like your department is a force to be reckoned with.” Chen Fan cracked a smile and pointed at Red Sparrow.
Despite his words, even Tang Yifei could see the disdain on his face.
Although Tang Yuanqin stood aside and was quiet all the while, he was shocked nonetheless.
Each one of the four deadly Overlords could have made it to the Heaven Roll’s five list. White Tiger might have been the weakest of the four, but he was also a peak Transcendent State Grandmaster and was not any weaker than Lei Qianjue or Hua Yunfeng. The Azure Dragon was the most powerful of the four and had already reached semi Immortal state. The combined might of the four deadly fighters was enough to keep all the martial artists and cultivators in check.
Only someone as powerful as Chen Fan could have held himself before their might.
The contempt on Chen Fans face didn’t sit well with her, so she snorted and said: “Chen Beixuan, I know you are powerful, but remember, there is always someone better than you. You have reached Immortal State at the most, and I would like to remind you that our department has killed immortal state cultivators before.”
“Oh? You have killed an Immortal State Cultivator?” Chen Fan narrowed his eyes and let out a half-smile.
“Humph! Never underestimate the power of a superpower.” Red Sparrow looked up and said coldly. “Why do you think these Immortal State cultivators hide deep in the mountains for six decades? Don’t they want to know what is going on? They are simply too afraid of making an appearance. ”
“With modern technology, even Immortal State Cultivator could be killed with ease.”
Red Sparrow said stridently and with a great measure of conviction.
Her words were backed by a superpower ranked top five if not top three in the world. China had over two million enlisted soldiers and possessed missiles, hydrogen bombs and nuclear bombs. It was one of the five Permanent Members of the United Nations Security Council.
Even if Chen Fan had reached Immortal State, he should think twice before ruffling the feathers of such a powerful force.
“Hehe”
Chen Fan cracked a smile and didn’t reply.
Although he had already reached Ethereal Enlightenment state and gained Divine powers and Azure Thearch Longevity Body, he wouldn’t escape a bombardment unharmed.
He was as powerful as a top-level Immortal State cultivator on earth and therefore he still needed to be careful around the threat of modern military attack. However, Chen Fan’s caution did not amount to fear.
“I admit that modern technology would pose a threat to me, but it wouldn’t be difficult for me to avoid direct confrontation with an army.” Chen Fan smiled slightly and said: “Even Osama bin Laden could deliver such a heavy blow to America without using Dharmic powers, what do you think I am capable of?”
“Can you imagine how many innocent lives would be lost in order for the country to subjugate a rogue Transcendent Grandmaster? Is the nation prepared to fight a prolonged Urban warfare in the most developed cities? Have you thought of the economic implications of such a war? Even if the nation was committed, how many cities is it willing to sacrifice?”
Chen Fan said with an unswerving conviction in his voice.
An Immortal State Cultivator was no match against the modern army, that was true. But if the Immortal State cultivator went rouge and turned to terrorism attacks, he could become a painful thorn in the side fo powerful nations such as America, much less China.
The color drained from Red Sparrow’s face as Chen Fan went on, in the end, she had to agree with him as she let out a wry smile.
What Chen Fan said was exactly what she feared the most.
Neither Immortal State Overlord or a Transcendent Grandmaster, they could be eliminated with an army of a thousand strong. However, such a large scale destructive battle was unwanted in any modern country.
“You are right.” Red Sparrow grinned and said: “That is the purpose of the Dark Roll, to warn the leaders of all nations in the world.”
‘Dark Roll?”
Chen Fan furrowed his brow and had no idea what it was.
