Chen Fan had achieved Initial success in his Azure Thearch Longevity Body cultivation, so his body was already as indestructible as that of a Connate Cultivator.
Although Connate Cultivators lacked the Dark Wolf’s incredible regeneration ability, they could even withstand a direct hit from a small nuclear bomb, much less regular bombs or rockets. On the other hand, Connate Cultivators could dish out much more damage compared to the Dark Wolf thanks to numerous divine powers at their disposal.
Chen Fan slowly walked out of the smoke and fire unhurriedly.
His skin let out the azure glow, making him look like an indestructible walking diamond.
Everyone was shocked after they saw the development. The soldiers who launched the artillery froze into statues. Meanwhile, the other pa.s.sengers let out a cheer after a long silence.
They cheered for the miracle that they had just witnessed.
Natasha heaved a sigh of relief and felt as if a heavy weight was off her heart. She fixed her gaze at Chen Fan, as her eyes lit up with glee and admiration.
“Pahda!”
The handheld intercom slipped from General Major Gromov’s hand and thudded on the ground, but the General Major didn’t even notice it. Gromov looked into distance blankly and murmured.
“It’s him. It’s HIM… Chen Beixuan is back.”
The nightmare that had tormented the minds of the North Division officers one year ago was finally back.
He had seen the picture of what had become of the Warg Valley, and had heard of Chen Fan’s unimaginable heroic deeds such as striking down an F-15. The thoughts and memories sent chills down Gromov’s spine.
He had been convinced that the deadly ten thousand strong army should be able to quell any threat.
Infantry Division 116 was a decorated veteran division that survived the brutality of WW2. It’s members used to march across the Red Square in front of the supreme leader of the USSR. Later on, it had become one of the best-equipped divisions in Russia. It had hundreds of armored vehicles, self-propelled artillery, tanks, and anti-tank units. It was lauded as the Iron Wall of Russia.
However, there and then, Gromov felt that even this Iron Wall was about to crumble.
“Sir, Sir! What shall we do next?”
The voice of a strategist drifted from the intercom on the ground.
The sound wrenched Gromov’s mind out of his reverie. He picked up the intercom and bellowed into it.
“Dispatch all armored vehicles and air support. We need to stop him at all costs. Call the Headquarters and tell them that we have encountered Chen Beixuan, and we need a.s.sistance! We need a.s.sISTANCE!”
“…yes, Sir.”
Although the strategist had no idea what Gromov meant by “encountered Chen Beixuan,” he called the headquarters and delivered the message nonetheless.
Meanwhile, Chen Fan finally picked up some speed and started running toward the army’s formation. His speed became faster by the second until he was so fast that his body had turned into a steak of golden glow that glided across the landscape toward the front-line of the Infantry Division 116.
Chen Fan was going to throw himself into the Iron Wall of armored vehicles that were literally made out of iron and steel. These armored vehicles tanks had enough firepower to annihilate the fourteenth brigade of j.a.pan’s self-defense force; however, Chen Fan was unfazed and rammed right into the thick of danger.
“Vroom! Vroom!”
Countless armored vehicles revved up their engines and charged at Chen Fan. There were heavily armored tanks, lightly armored personnel carriers, Self-propelled artillery, and anti-tank units.
Unlike the j.a.panese Fourteenth Brigade, the Infantry Division 116 was a fully motorized division which had ten times more armored battle units than the fourteenth brigade. In addition, the Russian military technology was miles ahead of j.a.pan. Even though j.a.pan Self-Defense Forces received some arms from America, those weapons were watered down versions for export only.
“Stop him, stop him! Don’t let him get near us!”
The Russian officers were battle-hardened veterans with a keen sense of tactics. They realized that if Chen Fan was able to reach the army formation, they wouldn’t be able to take full advantage of their deadly firepower due to the likelihood of friendly fire.
“Bang”
The first unit that opened fire on Chen Fan was an A-T-62 main battle tank with a 116mm smooth-bore gun. The sh.e.l.l traced an arc he air that looked like the sharp edge of the Grim Reaper’s Scythe. The artillery sh.e.l.l covered a few kilometers in a blink and bore down on Chen Fan.
The Russian military had a very advanced Fire-control Systems and could land a surgical strike from miles away.
“Bang!”
To everyone’s surprise, the sh.e.l.l that weighed a few kilograms traveling at incredible speed was knocked down by Chen Fan’s punch. The sh.e.l.l exploded in the air, and the shock wave forced Chen Fan back a few steps.
Without the smoke blotting the view, everyone had witnessed Chen Fan’s heroic ability to take a direct hit from a cannon. The sight made many people’s hearts skip a beat.
Did he just punch at a sh.e.l.l?
OMG! Was he a human or a.. superman?
Chen Fan took a few steps back and quickly gathered himself and charged forward again.
“Bang! Bang! Bang!”
A dozen more tanks fired. Chen Fan yanked his arm up and delivered over a dozen punches in a blink. The Fist Qi surged high up into the sky and collided with the incoming sh.e.l.ls. Only one armor-piercing sh.e.l.l that was fired by an anti-tank unit had snuck its way across Chen Fan’s defense. Chen Fan pitched his body to the side and gracefully dodged the sh.e.l.l traveling near the speed of sound.
Meanwhile, Chen Fan made a mental note to himself to watch out for these armor-piercing sh.e.l.ls.
