C74 (2/2)
After Ya An broke through, Duan Zhiping killed the old and the rebellious, as per his usual practice. He then returned to Dali to be a slave. For a time, the entire Ya'an City was filled with wails and cries, and rivers of blood flowed through it!
Upon receiving the news, Chen Jing and the others were so angry that their lungs were about to burst. They all gnashed their teeth and swore that they would completely and thoroughly wipe off this trash and pest from the face of the earth!
Therefore, Chen Jing used the Vermillion Bird Air Division, drone pilots, and the entire Azure Dragon Regiment to kill his way to Ya'an on the 16th, in the early hours of the morning. Of course, the first battle would be in the air, but how could the helicopter troops sent by the Dali Army be a match for the J-20 fighter jet? They were defeated within a few minutes. The next casualties were his artillery and mechanized legions. For modern warfare, the loss of air control is almost equal to failure. Thinking back to the Gulf War back then, the Iraqi troops with thousands of advanced tanks, due to the loss of control over the air, were unable to cause great trouble for the United Nations army as predicted. Facing the aerial assassins, the powerful steel legion was like a defenceless civilian that was easily decimated by Gu La!
Seeing that his powerful army had ended just like that, Duan Zhiping, who came from a peasant family, was like Saddam Hussein, who was instantly blinded. However, what was different from Saddam was that Duan Zhiping was a Heaven Stage powerhouse, and he was already a peak Heaven Stage long ago. Therefore, the furious Duan Zhiping shot up into the sky like an arrow aiming at a bow. With a ”sou” sound, he met the attack head on and flew towards it.
Facing Duan Zhiping who was flying towards him at high speed, of course the J-20 pilot would shoot out a round of cannons, but it was a pity that Duan Zhiping's speed was too fast, most of the cannons missed. Even if a few of the cannons hit the target, it was still non-armor piercing 30 mm artillery shells, so where could the defense of a peak Heaven Stage powerhouse be broken through?
Just at that moment, Duan Zhiping, who was rushing through the rain of bullets, broke through the cockpit of the J-20. The plane fell from the sky like a kite with its string cut.
When the other aircraft saw this, they all surrounded Duan Zhiping. The exploding cannons poured towards him like a waterfall, but how could they even harm Duan Zhiping when faced with the abnormal defense of a Heaven Stage expert?
Duan Zhiping's speed was extremely fast. In just a few minutes, five combat jets were shot down. Seeing this, Chen Jing hastily ordered the fighter jet to retreat. He, Wang Lei, and Zhang Xinlin jumped out of the plane to meet Duan Zhiping's attack while Wang Lei and Zhang Xinlin flanked them from behind.
Seeing Chen Jing flying over to meet him head-on, Duan Zhiping was not afraid in the slightest. He brandished his saber and chopped forward. Duan Zhiping was nearly 1.9 meters tall and weighed over two hundred pounds. He truly could be considered to have a strong, round waist and extraordinary strength. The huge blade in his hand weighed over a hundred pounds.
Chen Jing was an influential person in Taiji, so he naturally wouldn't go head to head against this boor. Therefore, in the first round, Chen Jing lightly waved his sword and placed it on Duan Zhiping's blade. He used the 'draw' character and the 'shock' character to easily dispel Duan Zhiping's ferocious slashing.
No matter how weak he was, he should have been sent flying in the air. Unexpectedly, under the effect of the Taiji word ”lead”, his body suddenly lost its balance, and the powerful heavy saber instantly brought him down with it. Luckily, he was in the air, so he didn't fall to the ground and eat sh * t.
Duan Zhiping was a smart person. After falling from the clouds, he knew that he had hit an iron wall, so after falling, he ran backwards in an arc. Unfortunately, Wang Lei and Zhang Xinlin had already snuck behind him. Duan Zhiping turned around and saw that there were two experts blocking his way, while Chen Jing was also quickly chasing after him. His heart couldn't help but thump loudly, thinking that he might have to die here today.
Seeing this situation, Duan Zhiping's mind quickly spun. The inner strength that he had just exchanged a moment ago was obviously much stronger than his own. As for the other two, he didn't know how strong they were and didn't have the confidence to break through before Chen Jing caught up. Thus, after weighing the pros and cons for a moment, Duan Zhiping decisively decided to flee upwards. Chen Jing and the other two naturally followed closely behind.
Duan Zhiping's speed was extremely fast. After a few minutes, he had already rushed out of the atmosphere. Chen Jing followed closely behind him. Wang Lei and Zhang Xinlin who were behind him had naturally rushed out of the atmosphere as well.
Duan Zhiping and Chen Jing had entered the Heaven Stage six years ago, and were already at the peak of the Heaven Stage now. Their bodies were tempered to an extremely formidable degree, so they were able to withstand the cosmic rays emitted by space. However, Wang Lei and Zhang Xinlin had only entered the Innate Realm for less than two years, and their cultivation had just barely reached the middle stage of the Heaven Stage. Actually, what Chen Jing and the others didn't know was that in this time and space, cultivation should be divided into six stages, namely Qi Cultivation, Foundation Establishment, Core Formation, Spirit Severing, Nascent Soul, and Tribulation. Qi Cultivation was divided into the Houtian realm and Xiantian realm. The Houtian realm was divided into four small realms: Qi Condensation, Meridian Opening, Flesh Training, and Bone Refining. And the Xiantian realm was divided into the earth, sky, and universe realms. The four realms of the Houtian realm were similar to Chen Jing and the others' understanding, but the understanding of the Xiantian realm was slightly different. Chen Jing and the others' understanding of the Xiantian realm should be at the Earth realm, because even though they had comprehended the Xiantian realm, they had not broken through the Earth's restraining force. The sky, on the other hand, had become free from the restraining force of the earth, and could fly in the sky like a bird. However, there was no clear line between the sky level and the universe level, the difference lay in the body's strength. ”Chen Jing and Duan Zhiping had actually already reached the Universe level long ago. It's just that they didn't know it themselves.
However, Wang Lei and Zhang Xinlin could not take it anymore. The physical damage caused by the hypervelocity of the universe particles caused by them was unbearable, so they had no choice but to return to the atmosphere. Even so, the cosmic rays had still caused great damage to their bodies, and although their bodies weren't as strong as normal humans, such as cancer or leukemia, it was definitely not a day or two before they could recover.
As for Duan Zhiping and Chen Jing, after they rushed out of the atmosphere, due to the lack of resistance from the air, their speed rapidly increased. Not long later, they surpassed the first and second universe speeds …
Two hours later, the two were travelling at a speed far faster than the third universe, hundreds of thousands of kilometers away from Earth. The Earth behind them had long turned into a blue planet the size of a sun, however, the two of them were focused on chasing each other, they didn't even have time to appreciate the beautiful scenery.
As for Duan Zhiping, who had been running for several hours, he was completely exhausted. However, when he felt Chen Jing and the others chasing after him, which he didn't know was only Chen Jing, he thought Wang Lei and the others were chasing after him, he could only put his life on the line and continue to run. Luckily, heaven never bars one's way. Just when Duan Zhiping was about to be unable to run, a whirlpool shaped hole suddenly appeared in front of him. The flustered Duan Zhiping dived in head first, while Chen Jing followed closely behind.
