373 Did We Win? (2/2)
Golden Armor Immortal Guardian responded to the energy with a snarl as his body increased in size again. In a blink, he was twenty meters tall.
By now, the Demon Gods were only half the size of the Immortal Guardian. Yamamizuki and his peers looked at the Immortal Guardian with a great measure of despair and shock. Golden Armor Immortal Guardian shot out a pair of giant hands at Yamamizuki and held him in a vice-like clamp. Then the Immortal Guardian tore Yamamizuki into half with his bare hands. He quickly dropped Yamamizuki and punched at Lord Kurome right in the face. Lord Kurome's head exploded.
Six-Armed Demon God faltered and was about to spin his tail.
Immortal Guardian grabbed the long halberd and hurled it at the last demon god. The golden halberd traced an arc in the air as a cascade of golden light tumbled from its body. It landed on the Six-Armed Demon God and severed him into half, shattering the thick shield made out of cold iron.
In three simple moves, he had defeated the alliance of three demon gods.
Violet's face paled as the reality set in. Silently, she backed into a dark corner and disappeared. No one other than Chen Fan had noticed her movement. But Chen Fan didn't do anything other than gave her a long glance.
The battle had not ended yet, and the Golden Armor Immortal Guardian still had to finish these demon gods once and for all.
Although these demon gods can constantly regenerate their bodies, they were in no condition to continue the battle after being shredded into pieces so many times.
Realizing that they had lost the battle, the Demon Gods knelt before Chen Fan and begged for their lives. All of them were willing to offer Chen Fan their wealth in exchange for their lives.
Red Sparrow felt the scene almost surreal: the mighty demon gods of Japan kneeling before Chen Fan, begging for their lives. She gave Chen Fan a more careful look and caught a profile view of Chen Fan's statues body and sublime features on his face. The sight melted her guard as a warm and fuzzy feeling rose inside of her.
”Money means nothing to me.”
Chen Fan laughed as he brought out the bone flute.
The Summoning Flute of Demon God seemed to be agitated in the presence of the demon gods: It's feeding time.
The sight had terrified the Demon Gods; color and life drained away from their faces. They knew what Chen Fan was going to do next.
”Bang, bang, bang!”
After four explosions, these Demon Gods finally forfeited their Dharma Forms, leaving only their Divine Souls in the form of four dark mists. They thought that by doing so, they could finally escape Chen Fan, but Chen Fan had expected it and was prepared for their reaction from the beginning.
The Summoning Flute of Demon God flew out of Chen Fan's hand and drew in the Divine Souls of the four Demon Gods.
Karasutengu, Six-Armed Demon God, Yamamizuki, and then Lord Kurome; the bone flute devoured their Divine Souls like a hungry wolf, all the while, it was impervious to the heart-wrenching pleading of its victims. After it had consumed all four Divine Soul, the bone flute wobbled back to Chen Fan like a starving man who just had a large feast. Chen Fan was amused by the silliness of the bone flute as he put it back into the Dimension Altering Dharma Treasure.
Red Sparrow was stunned; she checked her eyes in disbelief.
The four deadly Demon Gods were no more. Chen Fan had destroyed five out of six shrines in Japan, and the only one left was Ise Grand Shrine. He alone had done what generations of Grandmasters wanted to do but failed.
”Who is he? Is he a mortal or a god?”
Red Sparrow even started to doubt the reality she was in.
”We won!”
Suddenly, a wave of cheers came up from the train. Violet had taken the Dark Sky Curtain with her while she was sneaking away. Fingers of sunlight found the train and its passengers again. The bright light was a message to the people trapped inside the train: the battle has ended. People came out of the train to cheer for their newfound freedom and sanity.
Ai Jinqi scurried to Chen Fan and batted her eyes at Chen Fan like a little fangirl.
To her, Chen Fan was no longer just a mysterious man, he was also her hero and savior.
”I have been praying for you while you are fighting out there.” Ai Jinqi looked up at Chen Fan and said with a blush. Other passengers also came over to Chen Fan and regarded him with warm and respected smiles.
Ren Hao stood far away from the crowd and watched them with bitterness.
He knew that he would never be able to win Ai Jinqi over. He was so insignificant and pathetic compared to Chen Fan. Ren Hao was in no mood for wooing girls, all he wanted to do was to find a place to hide from Chen Fan.
Chen Fan smiled back at the crowd and even as he was about to greet them, he noticed something was fast approaching from above, so he looked up in the sky.
”What is it?”
Everyone was curious.
Chen Fan's face was getting more serious by the second. Red Sparrow also looked up to examine the sky. After a while, she panicked and couldn't believe what she saw.
”Wummm.”
It was the whir of helicopter blades. Someone noticed a group of helicopters descended upon them from afar. They approached the group with incredible speed. It wasn't long before people spotted the miniguns hanging over the ledge.
Meanwhile, on the ground, tanks stormed toward the crowd. These were heavy tanks that could easily run over trees and boulders. They crushed anything that was in its way, making loud crunching noises along with the deep droning of the engines. These tanks were equipped with huge cannons that could harvest lives on the battlefield.
In Chen Fan's Divine Sense, he registered thousands of soldiers swarming towards them from all directions. They were the Japan Self-Defense Forces and were armed with deadly special weapons. There was no mistake in the goal of their mission: Kill.
Red Sparrow looked at Chen Fan desperately.
Chen Fan's face became solemn, but a light shined through his eyes and betrayed his excitement.
He could finally put his power to a test against a fully-fledged modern army.
