“Boom!”

A blaring explosion erupted from where Chen Fan was standing, sending out a mushroom cloud that covered a large swath of land. A shock wave followed suit and rippled out into the distance

Chen Fan’s body let out an incandescent azure glow. He dashed out of the explosion and gave the three F-15 in the sky a long glance.

Those jets attacked while they were a dozen kilometers away, and was outside the range of his Divine Will. When he finally registered the incoming hypersonic missile attack, it was already too late. He was forced to break the hypersonic barrier in order to get out of the blast radius of the missile.

If he hesitated a second, he would have been hit by the missile.

Even with Azure Thearch Longevity Body, Chen Fan had to be very careful with these powerful modern weapons. One small mistake would cost him dearly.

These Hypersonic missiles can reach a speed a couple of times faster than the speed of sound. It can cover a thousand meters within a second. The range of Chen Fan’s Divine Sense was five-kilometer, which means he had only five seconds to react. That being said, once he opened his eyes, he was able to detect any objects ten kilometers away using his Li Fire Golden Eyes. So the situation was not as bad once Chen Fan got to open his eyes.

“They are too far away. My spells wouldn’t be able to reach them.”

Chen Fan furrowed his brows as he studied the three F-15 circling in the sky about eight kilometers away. Further away were the remaining AH-1 Cobras hovering in the air.

It was evident that these three helicopter pilots had seen him striking down four of their peers using a javelin, so they scarcely dared to get near Chen Fan. That being said, one of the main advantages of the modern military was their ability to see and strike beyond-visual-range.

What did he mean “Beyond-visual-range?”

It was the ability to lock onto foes from as far as ten kilometer away using radar and strike using long missiles. Victims of such attacks were usually caught unwittingly and had little to no time to defend themselves.

Chen Fan was having the same problem to some degree.

Let it be Dharma Spells, Wind blades, FireBall, Thunder Art or any other kind of Dharma Spells, they wouldn’t be able to land a blow on a target that was so far away. A Transcendent Grandmaster could project his internal force outward for thirty meters at the most. Even someone as powerful as Takemiya Hiro was only able to extend that range to a hundred meter, a far cry from the ten-kilometer range. Not even an Immortal State cultivator’s attack could have reached that range.

It was obvious that those fighter jets knew Chen Fan’s conundrum. They didn’t rush for another attack, instead, they circled in the air, taking their time to lock on to Chen Fan using their radar.

“Shu!”

Another hypersonic missile shot at Chen Fan. It covered ten-kilometer distance within ten seconds and plummeted toward Chen Fan. This time Chen Fan had more time to react, so he was able to quickly maneuver to a safe distance, away from the missiles’ blast.

That being said, it irked Chen Beixuan that the battle had turned out to be so one-sided. He was the North Mystic Celestial Lord, and never had he felt so helpless.

“It’s a pity that the javelins I recently created can only reach targets three-kilometers away. Even if I can hurl it as far as ten-kilometer, it would have lost all of its momentum and kinetic energy to be of any use.”

Chen Fan furrowed his brows as his mind raced.

He thought he had prepared well by creating those javelins just in case he had to deal with the j.a.pan Self-Defense Forces. However, he had never expected that the j.a.panese Government would have dispatched Hypersonic fighter jets. These flying monsters were the epitome of advancement in modern military technology. Even an Immortal State cultivator would succ.u.mb to its devastating strike.

Zeus the Thunder Lord was forced to run away from Thailand by the same tactics deployed by the American military.

Chen Fan was different than Zeus, in a way that he had many more tricks up his sleeve should he wanted to escape. He had mastered many Arts of Concealment and could easily avoid the detection of the radar. That being said, Chen Fan would not back down from a challenge so easily.

“This was only the reconnaissance team of the air force. j.a.pan Self-Defense Forces had hundreds of fighter jets. If I can’t bring the air force to their heels today, they might take it as a sign of weakness and double down on their aggression. Even the American military might intervene by then. So I have to deal with the j.a.pan Self-Defense Forces today and hit it where it hurts.”

A light came up in Chen Fan’s eyes and he made up his mind to carry on the battle.

He zig-zagged swiftly across the battlefield, avoiding the detection of the fighter jet’s radar. Meanwhile, he surveyed the area and quickly found what he was looking for: a small hill in the distance. He used his divine will and send a message to Red Sparrow.

“Leave here with those tourists and head back to China. I am going to lure away these fighter jets.”

Chen Fan’s voice came up in Red Sparrow’s mind.

Chen Beixuan could have taken these tourists hostage, using the j.a.panese solider’s conscience against them. However, he was the North Mystic Celestial Lord, not some pathetic weakling. If he wanted to do away with these fighter jets, he was going to do it by himself.

Red Sparrow paused a second and then gave Chen Fan a long glance.

After quite a bit of convincing, the tourists finally reluctantly agreed to leave the battlefield with Red Sparrow. Even as they started off, Ai Jinqi looked back and cheered for Chen Fan one last time. The j.a.panese government wouldn’t stop these tourists since by doing so, they would anger the Chinese and Korean government unnecessary.

After all the tourists were out of his sight, Chen Fan about turned and ran toward the hill he had seen earlier.

His steps carried so much force that they shook the ground and left a trail of deep footprints. It was difficult to make out his movement as he appeared to be flickering in and out of view. Each flicker would appear a dozen meters or so ahead to the last one. Looking from above, the pilots watched as a wash of azure-colored glow streaked across the land, moving as fast as a few hundred kilometers per hour. Even the fastest car, Bugatti Veyron’s speed would pale in comparison.

Nothing could slow Chen Fan down since he could simply hop over any obstructions in his path.

In less than a minute, Chen Fan had covered a distance of a few dozen kilometers.

“He is incredibly fast.”

The fighter jet pilots exclaimed. However, there was an antic.i.p.ation in their voices that made them sound like a cat meowing at a little mouse from a distance.
