"Immortal Master Li, please halt. If you take one more step forward, you will be stepping into the Xingzhou Sea Area. This is a provocation against the sovereignty of the Xingzhou Governnt and a provocation against the great United States!"
An F21 fighter jet circled above Li Chen’s head, shouting at him through an electromagnetic loudspeaker.
"How noisy!"
Li Chen drew his sword in response, slashing a dazzling arc of light toward the fighter jet overhead.
"Clang!"
The fighter jet was cut through by Li Chen’s sword and disintegrated in mid-air.
Upon witnessing this, Colonel Joseph, the commander of the First Fleet, was startled.
He never expected Immortal Master Li to be so arrogant. Without exchanging a word, he had shot down a fighter jet, leaving no room for discussion, not even bothering to provide a reason.
"Soone, report to General Luther at once. Immortal Master Li not only ignored our warnings but even shot down one of our F22 fighters. This is a provocation against the United States, a trampling of the dignity of our Marine Corps. Here, I request permission from headquarters to use force to bombard him!"
The communications soldier responded and used the satellite encrypted phone to report to Vice Admiral Luther.
Within a minute, he hurried back.
"Colonel, General Luther agrees to your request to use force to bombard Immortal Master Li!"
As soon as the order was issued, the Xingzhou First Fleet, with the cover of the fighter squadron, blockaded the Xingzhou Sea Area and charged towards Li Chen.
"Report, Immortal Master Li spotted at our nine o’clock southwest, twenty-seven nautical miles away, moving at high speed toward us. Request permission to engage?"
"Engage!"
"Prepare the missiles, fire!"
After receiving the firing command, Colonel Joseph personally pressed the missile launch button on the flagship.
Imdiately after, a piercing "swish" sound rang out as the supersonic tracking missiles, trailing long white smoke tails akin to sky-slicing blades, bombarded towards Li Chen.
The tracking missiles’ speed was approximately Mach 2.5, that is 2.5 tis the speed of sound. In a blink of an eye, they covered twenty nautical miles.
These were missiles from the United States, with speeds and explosive power far exceeding that of other countries. Even Li Chen would not dare to underestimate them.
Li Chen looked up at the sky, drew his sword again, and unleashed a brilliant and shocking rainbow, confronting the tracking missiles like a cot chasing the moon.
"Boom, boom, boom!"
The tracking missiles exploded in the air one after another, dazzling like fireworks during the Lantern Festival.
Almost simultaneously, four F22 fighter jets dived down from several kiloters in the sky. The cannons on their wings opened fire, creating eight lines of death as if they were the scythes of the Death God, extending towards Li Chen.
The F22, an active combat aircraft of the United States, cos equipped with cannons that are more than ten tis more powerful than those of the Philippines. They could instantly penetrate tens of ters of city walls. Even if Li Chen’s defenses could block the cannon fire, he would still sustain significant damage.
With this in mind, without any hesitation, Li Chen transford into a streak of light diving into the depths of the ocean. He intended to utilize the resistance of the water flow to mitigate the impact of the cannonade.
"Thunderous boom!"
"Crashing thunder!"
The cannons fired into the sea surface, spurting dozens of water columns, so even reaching thousands of ters deep. Nurous marine creatures were punctured into a ss of flesh.
"Report, the target has entered the seabed, unable to lock on the target, requesting submarine support!"
Major George, the air squadron leader, maneuvered the joystick, reporting to headquarters.
As soon as he finished speaking, headquarters responded.
"Headquarters received, submarines are ready to launch. Major, please keep close watch to prevent Immortal Master Li from escaping!"
With the electromagnetic signal sounding, two submarines plunged into the sea, beginning their search for Li Chen’s whereabouts.
No sooner had their submarines dived than Li Chen’s Divine Sense relayed the information back.
Li Chen’s eyes shifted, ready to use the Human Demon Puppet as a target to attract their firepower, and play a trick of "feints to the east but attacks in the west" to silently circumvent and obliterate them.
After making up his mind, he anchored the Human Demon Puppet to a coral reef, and continued to dive into the deep sea.
Sure enough, the submarines that were struggling to search for the target on the seafloor, upon discovering the Human Demon Puppet, imdiately reported to headquarters.
"Report: target spotted at twelve o’clock southeast, fifteen nautical miles away, requesting torpedo bombing!"
"Approved!"
"Prepare the torpedoes, fire!"
For safety’s sake, each of the two submarines launched a Storm torpedo, racing at 200 knots toward the Human Demon Puppet to bomb it.
"Boom!"
The torpedoes exploded in succession, creating a colossal waterspout that shattered the surrounding coral reefs into pieces.
"Did we make it?"
The submariners, seeing that they had hit their target accurately, couldn’t help but feel a surge of elation.
You have to understand that this was the Immortal Master Li, who had annihilated the entire Underworld and was more terrifying than Devil Satan, yet they had seemingly torpedoed him to death. It was like a pie falling from the sky.
They would certainly gain honor and dals for this exceptional feat and even beco universally acclaid heroes, just like their predecessor Paul Tibbets.
However, as they celebrated and dread of glory, the Death God was silently closing in.
Li Chen circled around to their rear, with the Zhang Ling Sword in his left hand and the Dragon Abyss Sword in his right, and ferociously slashed forward.
"Swish!"
"Swish!"
Two dazzling Sword Rainbows, spanning dozens of feet, cut through the waves and extended toward the submarines.
Imdiately after, a thunderous explosion roared, and the submariners t their God along with their dreams of heroism.
The F22 fighter jets circling in the sky witnessed the sudden tumultuous waves and were utterly shocked.
"What’s happening? Didn’t we just kill Immortal Master Li?"
While they were all baffled, a long rainbow broke through the layers of water and burst forth dramatically.
"Damn it, Immortal Master Li isn’t dead yet. That’s his Flying Sword, the one that can take down fighter jets!"
The pilots were horrified and yanked the control sticks, shooting up into the high skies.
"Hmph, thinking of escaping? Don’t you think it’s a little late for that?"
Li Chen snorted angrily and, using his will, commanded the flying sword to chase after the F22s at speeds exceeding Mach 3, like a Thunder God Zeus’s spear of retribution.
"Clang!"
The flying sword instantly penetrated the fighter jet’s bulletproof glass, exploding the pilot’s head. Finally, it pierced the engine and exited from the rear wing.
Two fighter jets were instantly brought down, and the pilots of the remaining two, their faces white with terror and souls in disarray, fled frantically into the high altitude.
However, Li Chen had no intention of letting them escape. His pupils contracted slightly, and two flas shot up into the sky.
"Boom!"
Deafening explosions resonated in the air, two fighter jets disintegrated on the spot, and tal fragnts fell into the sea like shooting stars, causing splashes.
"Report: Submarine torpedoes hit the target; Immortal Master Li might have been killed!"
"Both submarines have encountered unknown attacks and have sunk to the seabed forever!"
"The air squadron has been attacked by the flying sword; it’s a total annihilation!"
...
One after another, bad news poured into the command center of the United States forces like a rising tide.
"Oh my God, a single sword sinking submarines and slashing down fighter jets, what kind of terrifying enemy is this?"
The command room buzzed with exclamations of disbelief.
An aide hurried to General Luther, panting and reporting,
"General Luther, Colonel Joseph has just sent a ssage saying he can’t withstand Immortal Master Li’s assault and is requesting support!"
Luther pondered for a mont and said, "Report to the Pentagon and request to deploy the USS Ford to bomb Immortal Master Li!"
Hearing about deploying the aircraft carrier, all the officers in the command center were startled.
Aircraft carriers and nuclear bombs are both significant national assets, not to be deployed lightly. Moreover, the target this ti was not a foreign military force but rely one man, making it seem like an overkill.
Yet, to this seemingly absurd request, the Pentagon did not object but agreed to the deploynt of the aircraft carrier!
...
Note 1: Paul Tibbets, a bomber pilot for the United States, dropped the world’s first atomic bomb over Japan in 1945.
