377 One Vs. Four Thousand. (1/2)

”Fire, fire! Don't let him get near!”

Seeing Chen Fan descending upon the Japan Self-Defense Forces, many army officers panicked and shouted. Many of these men were seasoned soldiers and they had already realized that once Chen Fan breached their defense, he would rip their firing line into shreds.

Chen Fan's charge was very similar to a cavalry charge, it was meant to break their formation and render their weapons ineffective.

The same tactics also applied to modern warfare. As soon as Chen Fan get close enough with the army, the bombers would hesitate to drop bombs on him, fearing injuring any Japanese soldiers. Neither could the tanks nor the field cannons fire at Chen Fan without careful aiming to avoid friendly fire.

A message was sent through the radio to all the Japanese soldiers.

Suddenly, hundreds of soldiers at the front line fired their rifles without even aiming.

The modern rifles had a range of a few kilometers, but the effective range was only a few hundred meters. That being said, a few hundred rifles firing at the same time had created a metal storm and rained death on Chen Fan.

If a Grandmaster such as Lu Tianfen was caught in this violent storm of bullets, he would be killed instantly.

Even someone as powerful as Lei Qianjue or Takemiya Hiro would spin their tails and get out of harm's way. Lord Kurome and his Demon God peers might be able to survive the bullets by regenerating their body, however, even their regeneration abilities had limits. Otherwise, Chen Fan would not be able to destroy their physical form using Hypersonic Punch.

Although bullets were unable to damage the Divine Soul, the Divine Soul itself was also harmless. If Lord Susano decided to solely rely on his soul energy during a battle against the army, he would be exhausted after killing a few hundred soldiers.

However, all it took for Chen Fan's do away with these few thousand soldiers was an aerial attack using Divine Will. That being said Chen Fan hadn't reached the required level of attainment to pull that off. In order to do that, he would have at least reached Immortal Sea State.

”Bang, bang, bang!”

Countless bullets struck the azure light emanated from Chen Fan's body.

The Azure light flickered but didn't shatter. The Azure Thearch Longevity Body was the Secret Art of the Five Elements Immortal Sect. It did much more than just offering the user a powerful body. The Azure Thearch Longevity Body that surrounded Chen Fan was much more durable than human flesh and normal rifle bullets would never penetrate through.

Three kilometers, two kilometers, one…

Chen Fan was fast approaching, trailing a smear of bright light behind him. The light was almost iridescent, like that of a rainbow.

The soldiers pulled their triggers and reloaded industriously, but their weapons ineffectiveness finally took the wind out of them. Once Chen Fan reached their formation, their entire squad would be slaughtered.

”Dadada!”

Suddenly, the heavy machine guns on the top of the armored vehicles finally started firing.

These heavy machine guns were much more powerful than their rifle counterparts. It was similar to those Gatling-type cannons on the helicopter in terms of deadliness. The rounds they used had excellent armor-piercing capabilities and could have sheer a man into two halves with ease. Even Grandmasters would be injured gravely should he was shot by these heavy machine guns.

A dozen machine guns fired at once and a dozen or so slithering fiery tongues came out from their barrels.

These M2 Browning .50 Machine Guns attacked Chen Fan from all directions. Although the gunners might not be able to train their guns directly at Chen Fan, they had formed a deadly barrier before Chen Fan, attempting to stop his advance.

”Bang!”

Chen Fan didn't slow down the slightest as he charged right into the web of bullets.

Even the Arcane Energy Bulwark shattered after being struck by a few rounds of bullets. So deadly were these .50 rounds that not even the Arcane Energy Bulwark could sustain too many hits. However, these machine guns bullets were unable to penetrate Chen Fan's second line of defense: the Azure Thearch Longevity Body. The bullets simply bounced off of Chen Fan's skin, making a loud and crisp clinks. A few hundred bullets landed on Chen Fan's body at once, making a cacophony of metal against metal.

Not even machine gun bullets were able to penetrate through Chen Fan's body?

Everyone was shocked after seeing the development. They gaped at Chen Fan as if he was a ghost.

”Oh my god. Is this freak's body makes out of tank's armor?” One Japanese soldier put down his gun and exclaimed.

The other soldiers around him nodded in agreement fearfully.

Those were M2 Browning .50 Machine Guns, their bullets were able to tear through metal sheets, yet, it did nothing to Chen Fan's body.

Some soldiers started to wonder if Chen Fan was the so-called Deity Guardian or the Golden Arhat in legends since no mortal could have been so powerful.

That being said, although those machine gun bullets weren't able to harm Chen Fan, their impact did have an effect on Chen Fan as it hemmed him left and right, forcing him to back down. After a few failed attempts to breach the web of bullets, Chen Fan's patience was wearing thin. He stomped the ground and shouted as his body suddenly broke the hypersonic barrier and rammed through the machine-gun fire, right into the middle of the army's ranks.

”Fire at will! Everyone, including armor vehicles, stop him at any cost.”
