Chapter 374: The Real Slaughter

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Although Grandmasters were forces to be reckoned with, their impact on the world had been greatly reduced since the introduction of firearms. Any ordinary man could kill a Martial Artist with a gun and merely a dozen well-armed and well-trained soldiers were able to corner a Grandmaster. Even those who were at the top three spots of the Dark Roll could not face the American Military head-on.

The advancement of modern technology had made modern military weapons extremely deadly. However strong a Martial Artist was, he could be laid low by a high caliber bullet, so would Grandmasters under Cannon fire. Those were just the regular arms, not to mention the superweapons, such as nuclear bombs. Therefore, no Grandmaster, let it be those in China or Kendo Grandmasters in j.a.pan had the audacity to challenge the authority of a nation.

The more powerful a Martial Artist was, the more fear they had toward superpowers on this planet.

The dignity and integrity of a nation were backed by military might. The progress of the modern military had far exceeded anyone’s imagination. Not even an Immortal State cultivator could have withstood a direct hit from a ballistic missile.

“That’s the fourteenth Brigade stationed at Zentsuji.” Red Sparrow said with a pale face.

A brigade in j.a.pan was usually four thousand strong. Its a.r.s.enal included a hundred tanks and armored vehicles, a few dozen armed helicopters, not to mention various field cannons. Although the j.a.pan Self-Defense Forces lacked numbers, they made it up with high-quality weapons that were on par with that of America in terms of quality.

Many tourists turned into bundles of nerves after hearing that it was the j.a.panese military coming after them.

Most of the tourists were Chinese or Korean who didn’t have fond memories of the j.a.panese military. Many kids already started crying, and everyone looked at Chen Fan for help.

Chen Fan had killed the Demon G.o.ds and expelled the darkness, so he might as well be immortal. It was natural for ordinary people to turn to the strong in the time of stress.

“It looks like all the Fourteenth Brigade has committed every soldier to this mission. There are thousands of them and are all well equipped. Not even a real Immortal State cultivator could have warded them off. I think we should leave now.” Red Sparrow heaved a sigh and managed to gather herself and put in.

“You and I can move faster than the helicopter but we need to move now and get out of here before it’s too late. They want to pick a fight with us, we won’t let them have what they want.”

Despite the deadliness of the modern military, most Grandmasters would not choose to confront them directly. Most Grandmasters would sneak into a city and use the citizens as their cover. After all, the military couldn’t just barge into a city and started killing.

That was exactly Red Sparrow’s plan as well.

Chen Fan could break the hypersonic barrier and therefore the Fourteenth Brigade would never be able to stop him from escaping.

Red Sparrow’s words were heard by all the other tourists around her. The promise of being abandoned made them panic.

“What are they going to do if we run away?” Chen Fan scanned the people around him and found many expectant and helpless gazes.

These tourists were from a different country and had no connections in j.a.pan. Chen Fan was their last hope, so Chen Fan couldn’t bring himself to abandon them.

Red Sparrow let out a wry smile.

She was a super soldier and was used to thinking in terms of the bigger picture. Therefore, Red Sparrow didn’t hesitate at all when she chose Chen Fan over the group of tourists. Chen Fan was the future of the Chinese Martial Arts and was a greater strategic a.s.set than an entire military division in China.

“Plus, it’s already too late even if we wanted to leave. Look for yourself.” Chen Fan lifted his chin up, gesturing Red Sparrow to look up.

Red Sparrow scanned the sky and noticed three small dots a few thousand meters above the ground. Red Sparrow was startled at first, and then she shouted: “F-15? The j.a.panese Military had even mobilized the air force?”

The involvement of the j.a.panese air force meant the situation had gone out of control. Only the officials at the highest level of government could have ordered the mobilization of these expensive machines.

Red Sparrow still had a slight doubt that Fourteenth Brigade happened to be on a military drill. However, the sight of the F-15s confirmed the j.a.panese military’s intention. It was evident that the leaders of j.a.pan had decided to do away with Chen Fan at all costs. It occurred to Red Sparrow that even the a.s.sault of the four demon G.o.ds was a ruse to slow down Chen Fan and tire him out before they used the real trump cards on him.

Their real trump card is the military force.

They had given their all and attacked Chen Fan with abandon, to strike him down in one fell swoop. No one, not even Grandmasters or Demon G.o.ds could stand in the way of the military’s operation.

With that thought in mind, Red Sparrow’s face paled even more.

“My speed can reach the speed of sound in short bursts, while these fighter jets can cruise continuously at hypersonic speed. There is no way I can outrun them. Plus, how could I abandon my fellow countrymen?” Chen Fan linked his hands behind his back and cracked a smile.

Red Sparrow’s face flushed red with anger, she shouted: “Are you crazy? So you are going to take on all of them at once? These are not peasants in the dark ages, they are elite soldiers with modern firearms. ”

“The rifles in their hands can fire armor-piercing rounds and one shot was enough to end the life of a Grandmaster. Those mini-guns on the helicopters are able to sever a peak level Transcendent State Warrior in half. Even an Immortal State warrior couldn’t survive a direct hit from a missile or field cannons. Those who were ranked at the top three spots of the Dark Roll were able to escape an army of one thousand strong, but there are over four thousand soldiers out there, not to mention the F-15 and tanks. No one in the world could survive their direct aggression.”

Red Sparrow’s face turned red as she shouted at Chen Fan vehemently.

As an agent in the Chinese Special Case Departments, she knew the full extent of the modern military. The Special Case Departments used to spar with the Chinese military soldiers carrying live ammunition. It turned out that most agents, except for Azure dragon, couldn’t defeat ordinary soldiers despite their impressive personal strength. It was the soldier’s firearms that had given them a big advantage. Not even a Grandmaster could survive a high caliber round shot at close range. Now Chen Fan had to face an entire brigade of them.
