Rebirth of the Supreme Immortal Emperor-Chapter 548 - 545: Massacre in All Directions! [Third Midnight Update]

Chapter 548: Chapter 545: Massacre in All Directions! [Third Midnight Update]

Li Chen stood atop Mount Fuji, watching as Zhao Yuqing’s figure gradually moved further away. Until she turned into a tiny black dot, completely disappearing into the vast sea of clouds.

Unknowingly, the sun had already set in the west. The rosy afterglow sprinkled down, elongating his figure very long. Against the vast snowy mountain, he appeared incredibly lonely and desolate.

For some reason, Li Chen always felt a sense of poignant loss.

Truthfully, he had never truly acknowledged Zhao Yuqing’s feelings for him. Only when she suddenly left today did he sharply realize that this foolish girl had loved him so deeply.

Ah, the hardest thing to dispel is the grace of a beautiful woman!

Just as Li Chen was lost in these melancholic thoughts, suddenly a rumbling sound of engines came from above.

He looked up and saw three Bumblebee Fighters, forming a "品" character attack formation. fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓

"Target spotted!"

"Target locked!"

"Open fire!"

As the electromagnetic signal sounded, the pilot decisively pressed the fire button.

Instantly, the fighter’s wings, like fire-breathing dragons, drew a thousand-meter-long line of fire in the air, converging towards Li Chen.

Japan’s service fighters, although also called Bumblebee, were a level higher than those of the Philippines, belonging to version 2.0. The caliber of the cannon ports on the wings was at least twice as large, and their power was incomparably greater.

Even heavy armor, if hit by these cannons, would be pierced instantly and completely disabled.

In an instant, the huge rocks protruding from the mountain were smashed into pieces by the cannons’ fierce firepower, almost leveling them.

Watching the fighters spit out streams of fire, Li Chen slightly frowned. After quickly surveying the surrounding terrain, he suddenly leapt up, soaring directly like a Roc Spread Wings.

Even Miyamoto Musashi would probably not dare to confront such fierce firepower head-on.

But Li Chen did not dodge; instead, he met it head-on.

Li Chen shouted in the sky, and forcefully unleashed a huge palm imprint, striking directly at the middle fighter.

"Great Tathagata Palm!"

The penetration power of the cannon was indeed very strong, but that was only relative to physical entities.

Li Chen’s Great Tathagata Palm was formed by drawing upon the power of heaven and earth with the True Yuan within his body.

"Clang!"

The Great Tathagata Palm harshly struck the aircraft, shattering the bulletproof glass on the spot. The pilot inside didn’t even have the chance to scream before his brain was shattered and he died.

The fighter, hit by the severe impact, immediately lost control and plunged straight to the ground, slamming fiercely into the mountain.

Immediately after, there was a deafening explosion, raising a horrifying mushroom cloud.

The pilots of the remaining two fighters, having witnessed their comrade’s death, were shocked speechless.

"He’s a Super Soldier, turn around, turn around!"

The pilot frantically pulled the control stick, performing a tailspin drift in the air, preparing to flee.

Seeing this, a sinister smile appeared on the corner of Li Chen’s mouth.

"Hmph, since you’ve come, then stay here!"

Before his words fell, he raised both hands and shouted fiercely: "Swords rise!"

"Shua!"

"Shua!"

The Zhang Ling Sword and Dragon Spring Sword, summoned by their master, both unsheathed at the same time and floated beside Li Chen, one on his left and one on his right.

Li Chen’s eyes brimmed with murderous intent as he stared directly at the fighters that were only visible as white tails in the distance.

Then, he abruptly lowered his raised hands.

"Slash!"

In an instant, two flying swords, like comets attacking the moon, chased after two fighter jets like a rainbow piercing the sun.

The version 2.0 Bumblebee Fighter can reach Mach One, roughly the speed of sound.

Li Chen’s flying swords, when chasing at full force, can reach three times the speed of sound.

Thus, they effortlessly caught up.

"Clang!"

"Crack!"

The flying swords, like Zeus’s spears of retribution, pierced through the titanium alloy fuselage in an instant, shattered the engine, penetrated the pilot’s chest, and burst out from the bulletproof glass with a thunderous crash.

Before the pilots could even react to what had happened, the Bumblebee Fighters, like fireworks at the Lantern Festival, exploded midair, turning the whole sky into a glaring orange-red.

Seeing the three fighter jets brought down, a gratified smile appeared on Li Chen’s face.

However, in the next moment, his expression turned solemn as a mountain again.

The sound of an overwhelming force came from below the mountain; Japan was mobilizing its troops.

Li Chen extended his senses to scout, and the feedback made his heart skip a beat.

The hills were swarming with a massive crowd, no less than 15,000 people in sight.

Clearly, it was a fully organized division.

Judging by their equipped weaponry, it must be an A-type Division, the most formidable combat force in the regular troops.

Japan, being a defeated nation in World War II, is allowed only a certain number of self-defense forces by international treaties.

Therefore, to enhance the combat effectiveness of their forces, they have extremely strict soldier selection, and with the highly developed national economy, they are not short of money. Hence, their standard military equipment is entirely on par with that of the United States.

In other words, besides nuclear and other massively destructive weapons, every conventional weapon equipped by the US military is also fully available to the Japan Self-Defense Forces.

Despite this A-type Division having only 15,000 people, if they were in the Philippines, it would be enough to sweep across the entire country.

Previously, Li Chen had employed the Nine Heavens Star Technique to eliminate Miyamoto Musashi, a Japan Sword Saint. Just now, he used the flame golden eye to burn the eerie cherry tree, leaving his body completely depleted and able to perform only about ten to twenty percent of his peak capabilities.

Not to mention confronting an entire organized A-type Division, even a squadron of fighter jets could wear him out.

Moreover, aside from the military forces, there are thousands of Japan Samurai from the Iga Palace and possibly some Ninja Families with thousand-year heritages coming to join the fray.

Weighing the pros and cons, Li Chen secretly decided to temporarily avoid direct conflict and settle scores once he recovered to his peak strength.

With these thoughts, his gaze fell on the volcanic crater of Mount Fuji.

There lies an underground bunker, specially built by the Japanese military during World War II to prevent American atomic bombings when defending Tokyo.

As long as he hid there, unless they used nuclear weapons, conventional artillery bombardments couldn’t touch him.

With these thoughts, Li Chen no longer hesitated. Gathering his True Yuan, he transformed into a streak of light, swiftly shooting towards the direction of the volcano.

Outside the crater, there were over a dozen disciples patrolling from the Iga Palace.

Suddenly!

They noticed a silver lightning streak racing towards them, and they all drew their swords to confront it.

"Halt, who goes there?"

Their response was a phrase filled with killing intent and the throat-sealing Death God Sword Shadow.

"Those who block my path shall die!"

Before the word "die" fully reached the ears of these Japan Samurai, they were shocked to discover blood-soaked holes suddenly appearing in their throats or chests.

In just a couple of breaths, corpses lay haphazardly on the ground, fresh blood pooling ghastly into a small stream at lower ground, sending chills down the spine.

Li Chen didn’t even bother to look directly at them, carrying his still-dripping sword, he stepped over these unlucky bodies and strode grandly into the Underground Palace...
