378 The Militarys Defea (2/2)

Seeing the soldiers of the Fourteenth Brigade running away from the battle, Chinese and Korean tourists cheered at the top of their lungs. Ren Hao stood sulkily by himself in a dark corner, staring stupidly at Chen Fan.

Chen Fan had pulled the rug from under him once again.

The first time he met Chen Fan was on the plane. Chen Fan had only taken him as a flirty rich heir of above-average look trying to strike a spark with Ai Jinqi.

While he met Chen Fan again at the foot of the Tokyo Tower, Ren Hao was stunned when he saw the tycoons of Japan bowed to Chen Fan. He had wondered if Chen Fan was the heir of one of the most powerful families in China. Even then, Ren Hao had already felt a sense of regret. However, it was evident that he didn't learn his lesson.

After he met Chen Fan again on the train, when the Demon Gods named their target, Ren Hao had thrown Chen Fan under the bus readily fearing for his own safety. Little did he know that Chen Fan was as powerful as an immortal in legend and was able to banish the evil spirit. After the battle was over Ren Hao regretted even more than he had ever been.

However, after seeing Chen Fan's ability to crush an entire army, Ren Hao felt much less stressed about Chen Fan.

Chen Fan had proven to be a legendary hero whose deeds were worthy of a song to be sung for generations. A hero like Chen Fan would never bother with someone as insignificant as himself. Therefore, Ren Hao realized that there was no need to be worried about Chen Fan's retribution.

”How could anyone be so strong in real life? This should only happen in superhero movies. Are we in a real-world even?”

Ren Hao couldn't help but question him the reality.

What Chen Fan had done had completely shattered his world view which he held over the last three decades. The thirty years of life which he had tried so hard to build up seemed nothing but a joke.

”Modern army is overrated. ”

Chen Fan didn't chase after the deserters. He had finished his test and didn't want to waste any more time on these losers.

”But I wager that this one battle wouldn't paint the whole picture either. After all, the Japan Self-Defense Forces were not even a real military. Their defeat in WW2 had resulted in many international treaties that restricted their military capability. Their military might was peanuts compared to that of China, Rusia, the United States of America and France.”

Chen Fan shook his head.

The overall strength of a military laid not only in their advanced weapons but also in the soldier's mettle and spirit. If the Japanese soldiers were battle-hardened veterans, they wouldn't route so easily as they did. The soldiers serviced in Japan Self-Defense Forces were similar to a government worker. They viewed their service the same as an 8 to 4 office job, in other words, military service was their livelihood and therefore, no one was going to risk their lives on the battlefield. In addition, Japan was under American's protection so there wasn't much need for fearless and brave soldiers.

”Huu! Huu!”

Chen Fan breathed heavily.

He had charged into the formation seven times and despite the powerful Azure Thearch Longevity Body that he possessed, he was feeling slightly exhausted. He had to keep on moving while he was within the effective range of armored vehicles and tanks to dodge the shelling.

His body was able to take a few hits from heavy machine guns but as yet no match against a direct hit from field cannons.

Plus, Chen Fan had also spent a lot of energy on his Dharma Spells. Azure Thearch Longevity Body was a Connate Body, therefore, it's power was not limitless. Already, Chen Fan felt that he had already consumed half of his powerful True Essence. Underneath his unscathed appearance, the bullets had made small cracks in his defense aura under his skin.

He had been hit by bullets countless times and his body had to absorb so much trauma that it could have rendered an iron robot into a pile of scrap metal. Azure Thearch Longevity Body had done a really outstanding job protecting Chen Fan, making him last for so long. If Chen Fan reached a higher level of attainment, the Azure Thearch Longevity Body could have protected Chen Fan even during the blast of an atomic bomb.

”Fortunately for me, the fourteenth brigade was the only troup I have to deal with on Shikoku island. Japan Self-Defense Forces really needed more men. If it was the Chinese or American government I had to deal with, there are probably another few brigades that I had to deal with.”

Chen Fan heaved a sigh of relief, opening up the pores on his body to absorb Essence Qi from his surroundings in order to recharge his depleted system.

Under everyone's surprised eyes, countless green dot glowed on the trees. They then drifted into the air, floating and converging toward Chen Fan. They surrounded Chen Fan's body in a shimmering green shell.

The Azure Thearch Longevity Body had an excellent recuperation ability. Chen Fan would be ready for action again after a very brief respite.

Suddenly, a jarring shriek came up from a distance.

”Watch out!”

Red Sparrow's face turned pale as she shouted out a warning.

She watched a hypersonic cruise missile fly toward Chen Fan, trailing a white misty tail behind it. It covered half a dozen kilometers in less than a heartbeat and was going to plummet into Chen Fan. Japan Self-Defense Forces had finally given the F-15 the order to strike.

Those fighter jets had locked their targeting radar on Chen Fan while they were a few kilometers away and then fired those hypersonic missiles.

These missiles had enough explosive and kinetic energy to reduce a hundred-meter tall skyscraper into a mountain of rubble. Anyone who got caught within the blast radius would be dead before they knew it.

Red Sparrow's heart caught in her throat. She watched in terror as the missile was about to reach Chen Fan. Chen Fan suddenly opened his eyes when the tip of the warhead was only a hair's breadth away. An azure light surged in his eyes as he backed away, breaking the hypersonic barrier in the process. In a blink, he was already a few dozen meters away from where he had been standing.
