407: Chapter 404 [First Update] 407: Chapter 404 [First Update] Li Chen picked up Lin Xuanfei and started sprinting ahead.
Yet the two Sidewinder Reconnaissance Aircraft circling in the clouds seed to have locked onto them, relentlessly pursuing.
Li Chen was very clear that to evade surveillance, he had to either shake off these two Sidewinders or simply take them down.
Between these two options, if Li Chen had to choose, he would choose the latter—simple and brutal.
Determined, Li Chen set Lin Xuanfei down in a sheltered blind spot, instructing her, “Xuanfei, stay here and don’t run around!”
Then, feeling sowhat uneasy, he turned to the now-shrunken Himalayan Snow Monster and ordered, “You stay here and guard her.
If anything happens to her, I’ll castrate you, understand?”
The Himalayan Snow Monster looked bewildered, hoping to protest against Li Chen with this expression: it was female, and castration was not an option.
But its protest was simply ignored by student Li Chen.
Lin Xuanfei tightly grasped Li Chen’s large hand, blinking her big eyes, worriedly asking, “Brother Li Chen, what are you going to do?”
Li Chen glanced at the Sidewinder Reconnaissance Aircraft still circling in the clouds, his eyes flashing coldly as he spoke word by word, “I, am, going, to, fight, aircraft!”
“Uh?
Fight aircraft?”
Lin Xuanfei’s face was filled with astonishnt, but before she could utter another word, Li Chen’s figure had already vanished.
As their target suddenly disappeared, the Sidewinder Reconnaissance Aircraft had to fly low to carry out a full sweep of the mountain terrain below.
At this mont, the two Sidewinder Reconnaissance Aircraft were spiraling, alternating cover, preparing for a carpet-style low altitude search.
Li Chen hid behind a rock, quietly observing all of this.
He asured the straight-line distance from the Sidewinder Reconnaissance Aircraft to the ground.
5000 ters!
3000 ters!
1000 ters!
…
When the Sidewinder Reconnaissance Aircraft descended to just 500 ters above the ground, Li Chen suddenly leaped up, using the rebound force from the ground to rush into the airspace a hundred ters high.
“Sword, co!”
He shouted, drawing his sword in the air.
Sunshine poured on him, glittering brilliantly.
From a distance, he looked like an invincible War God riding on a seven-colored auspicious cloud.
The pilot, seeing a person jump a hundred ters high, was dumbstruck, his face filled with disbelief.
When he saw the Hua Country youth suddenly draw his sword, he sharply realized that the shadow of the Death God was fast approaching.
“Lock on the target, fire, fire!”
However, before his command could be completed, he suddenly saw Li Chen flash him a grin, revealing eight neat teeth.
“Slash!”
The murderous statent still hovered midair as a dazzling azure rainbow burst forth a hundred ters of brilliance, like lightning in a clear sky, violently slashing towards the Sidewinder Reconnaissance Aircraft.
“Ah, no, don’t…”
The pilot watched the azure rainbow approach, his eyes wide and face full of despair, emitting the last desperate cry of his life.
But soon, his cry was drowned out by a deafening explosion.
The second helicopter pilot, witnessing his comrade explode in midair, was shocked and imdiately gripped the control stick, ready to fly high.
“Hmph, once you’ve caught my eye, don’t expect to leave alive!”
Li Chen sneered disdainfully, perford a backflip in midair, and with a forceful move, a mighty Iron Fist thunderously struck.
“Bam!”
With the force of thunder, a giant fist imprint fiercely slamd over.
The reconnaissance aircraft’s body violently jerked, as Li Chen’s Iron Fist struck, forcefully denting it.
Although Li Chen’s punch did not directly bring down the Sidewinder Reconnaissance Aircraft, it severely damaged and deford its body.
Coupled with the pilot’s ntal collapse and his release of the control stick, the entire aircraft, like a moth to fla, took a perfect trajectory towards the mountainside.
“Boom!”
With a deafening blast, the second reconnaissance plane was declared out of commission.
Lin Xuanfei, who witnessed the whole process, was completely stunned to see Li Chen bring down two reconnaissance planes.
You have to understand, these were combat aircraft, not toys for children’s play-pretend.
“Hey, girl, are you dumbstruck or what?”
Li Chen walked up and gently patted Lin Xuanfei, startling her.
Lin Xuanfei quickly shook her head like a rattle-drum, saying, “No, not at all!”
After finishing her sentence, her eyes sparkled with infatuation as she clasped her hands over her heart and exclaid, “Brother Li Chen, how can you be so amazing?”
Li Chen glanced at her and said indifferently, “I used to be even better than this!”
“Let’s go, a large contingent of Tianzhu’s military will be arriving here soon!”
Lin Xuanfei pouted and hurriedly followed him closely.
anwhile, at a military base in a mountainous region of Tianzhu:
A dozen senior officers were engaged in war gas over a topographic map.
Just then, a soldier rushed in.
“Reporting to Major General Drew, there is news from the front lines; the Snake Spirit Temple in Old Dan has been destroyed, and the whereabouts of the Snake Spirit are unknown!”
Drew, a Major General and the division commander of the 44th elite Mountain Division of Tianzhu.
Hearing his subordinate’s report, Drew’s face imdiately darkened.
“What?
The Snake Spirit Temple has been destroyed?
Do you know who did it?”
The soldier reported, “Immortal Master Li from Hua Country!”
Drew asked, “Immortal Master Li?
Where is he now?”
The soldier replied, “In the southwestern highlands!”
Drew ordered, “Continue to monitor with the reconnaissance planes, and I will report to the higher-ups to dispatch troops to surround and annihilate him!”
However, the normally obedient soldier did not relay the orders this ti.
After hesitating for a mont, he said, “General, we have lost all contact with both Sidewinder Reconnaissance Aircraft.
According to the intelligence departnt’s analysis, it is very likely that they have been shot down!”
Upon hearing the soldier’s report, Drew’s face turned pale.
“What the hell, shot down?”
The Sidewinder Reconnaissance Aircraft was an expensive military purchase from the United States, each costing ninety-five million dollars.
Their entire 44th Mountain Division only had six of such aircraft in total, and they treated them like precious treasures, worrying even if they got rained on occasionally.
And now, two were directly scrapped in one go.
Drew asked with a look of astonishnt, “What happened?
Did they have shoulder-launched anti-air missiles or ground anti-aircraft guns?”
The soldier wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, “Neither, they were shot down by a single person wielding a sword during the reconnaissance process!”
A single person with a sword?
At once, everyone in the room was utterly astonished.
Being military personnel, they had an almost fanatical worship for modern high-tech weapons.
They looked down on cold weapons, considering them outdated relics that should be phased out.
Indeed, history had developed in that direction.
After World War I, cold weapons had completely declined.
Firearms took center stage in history and have been playing an increasingly important role to this day.
Decades of martial arts training, mastering all weapons such as swords, spears, and clubs.
But with just one bullet, I can lay you down; that would scare you, wouldn’t it?
However, they were now being told that a young man from Hua Country, relying on nothing but a sword, had brought down their nearly two-hundred-million-dollar Sidewinder Reconnaissance Aircraft.
This was a slap in the face – from left to right, and after slapping the right cheek, they had to ask if it hurt.
After a deathly silence, Drew slamd his fist on the table and barked, “Soone, pass my order, the whole division is to mobilize and hunt down Immortal Master Li!”
“Yes, General!”
The soldier saluted respectfully and hurried off to relay the orders.
The 44th Division was an elite Mountain Division of Tianzhu, with an active personnel count of 22,000.
Subtracting the various non-combat staff, there were still 18,000 people.
They were equipped with thousands of tanks and armored vehicles.
Hundreds of reconnaissance and combat aircraft.
Countless other artillery, missiles, howitzers, and mountain guns.
From this, it can be seen what a massive entity it was.
If it were to rage, just how terrifying would that be?
