380 Sword That Soars (1/2)
”What was that?”
Pilots of the F-15 asked themselves in their minds. They were too far away to make out anything clearly. All they could see was Chen Fan's body.
Suddenly, a flying sword came out of Chen Fan's gourd.
This incandescent golden flying sword was the only flying sword remained in the Blade Strengthening Gourd. Legend had it that the Sword Secret the Exalted Cultivator had nine of such swords and when the used the nine of them at once, he was nearly unstoppable. However, all but one of those nine swords survived Sword Secret the Exalted Cultivator. Technically, this sword was only a Nascent Form of a flying sword and had not yet been fully refined.
However, without any other means to reach the enemy ten kilometers away, this flying sword would have to do for now.
”Shu!”
The flying sword shot into the starry sky.
Due to the nascent nature of the flying sword, Chen Fan had to spray a portion of his Vitality Essence out of his mouth onto the body of the sword in order for it to be of any use. After he had done so, his face paled as his own vitality force waned a little.
Vitality Essence Force was one of the cornerstones of cultivation which shouldn't be wasted on just any situation. Consumption of the Vitality Essence Force would greatly hamper the potential for cultivation advancement. Chen Fan had not only committed part of his Vitality Essence Force, but he had also overspent his Divine Will so that he could extend the range of Divine Will to where the fighter jets and helicopters were.
He could guide the flying sword through his Divine Will to unleash destruction onto his enemies, just as those legendary ancient Sword Immortals would.
”Go”
Chen Fan shouted out an ordered. The golden glow lanced up into the sky.
It rammed through three hypersonic missiles in a blink and traced a golden circular circle in the air that surrounded the mountain peak where Chen Fan was. Looking from afar, it was as if a golden rainbow had appeared at the top of the hill.
”Bang, bang, bang!”
Those three hypersonic missiles exploded when they were five hundred meters away from Chen Fan and turned into three giant balls of flames. Heat and smoke roiled inside the flame, spilling its energy out in all directions. However, they were not close enough to even sire up the loose fold on Chen Fan's shirt.
”Impossible!”
The pilots of the Japan Self-Defense Forces were stunned by the development.
The hypersonic missiles were hit by something in the air and exploded, how did that happen? Are they in a fantasy movie? Even the American missile defense system couldn't be able to intercept the hypersonic missiles. However, Chen Fan had been standing where motionless all the while. The pilots didn't even see how he shot down those missiles.
After once the missiles were dealt with, the flying sword turned around and charged toward the three F-15 fighter jets. The brilliant golden light emanated from its body pierced through the night sky, making its arced path a golden rainbow
The brilliance of the flying sword was witnessed not only by the pilots in the fighter jets, but also the soldiers in the approaching helicopters.
”Shit, it's coming at us!”
A few pilots shouted in panic.
They pulled up the center-stick, tiring to get to a higher elevation. F-15 was a double-seat heavy fighter jet. The pilot in the front seat was in charge of maneuvering while the one in the rear seat was in charge of firepower.
”Evade, evade! No! It's too fast.”
The pilot in the rear seat shouted out a warning, but it was already too late. The flying sword was much faster than most ordinary hypersonic missiles and had covered the ten-kilometer distance in a blink.
Under both the pilot's desperate eyes, the golden light pierced through a fighter jet to its left. Trailing Blade Qi behind it, the golden light sliced through the Titanium armor of the F-15 with ease. It plummeted into the cockpit through the flesh of both pilots and went out from the engine exhaust.
”Kaboom!”
A flower of fire bloomed in the night sky.
No one believed their eyes.
Only in fictional stories, an F-15 could have been destroyed by one single man.
Ever since the conception of the McDonnell Douglas F-15 Eagle in 2009, it had been lauded as one of the most successful fighter jets ever created. It had never once been strike down in all of its missions, therefore, it was called the ”Fighter Jet that may never fall.”
However, Chen Fan had just taken that title away from it.
”Oh my god! Who are we fighting exactly?”
Many pilots prayed to whichever god they believed in for their safety. Chen Fan's power had been getting stronger by the second. By now, they felt that they were fighting against some legendary warrior in high tales.
The other two F-15 pulled up higher immediately to get out of harm's way, but the flying sword didn't give them the chance. As soon as it strikes down the first fighter jet, it circled around and plummeted into the second jet.
”KOM!”
Another ball of fire erupted in the sky.
A second later, a third one came up.
Chen Fan and struck down three F-15 in less than ten seconds.
The power in Chen Fan's attack was truly terrifying.
”I am not finished yet. ”
Chen Fan shouted and despite his pale face, he started the Flying sword art again. The golden flying sword let out a droning as it whizzed across the sky, somersaulted to turn its head around and then charged toward the helicopter squad.
The helicopter squad consisted of a dozen AH-1 Cobras including three that had survived Chen Fan's initial attack. The Brigadier General of Fourteenth Brigade, Tanaka Masakazu had thought that seven AH-1 Cobras would be more than enough to deal with one man, but after losing half of his air support, he immediately ordered the rest of the helicopters to join the battle.
