39: Military commander's special plane

Clang!

Chen Fan leaped high, bringing the twin blades in his hands down in a vertical chop towards a Black Fang Rat General.

A whooshing sound filled the air, the Battle Blade carrying a piercing, sharp shriek.

“Squeak~ Squeak~”

The Black Fang Rat General, targeted by Chen Fan, let out a terrified roar, trying to scurry away on all fours to dodge Chen Fan's strike, but its body trembled, unable to move.

Under Chen Fan's immense pressure, let alone this low-level Beast General, even a mid-level Beast General would lose all will to fight.

Clang!

A crisp collision sound, accompanied by flying sparks, as the Battle Blade 'whooshed' into the Beast General's neck.

Chen Fan twisted his wrist, the sharp Battle Blade cutting an arc, and the Beast General was instantly decapitated.

From start to finish, this battle didn't last more than ten seconds.

Chen Fan's blade speed was too fast, and his own speed was even faster, his strength fierce and overbearing.

“Killed a low-level Beast General, Physique +2.”

Having gained another point of physique, Chen Fan looked around, wanting to find some high-level Beast Generals.

But under his powerful assault, within a three-mile radius, there was no Beast General left alive.

Chen Fan looked into the distance.

The sprawling rat tide stretched for more than ten kilometers, and the number of Beast Generals within it was certainly not small.

Thinking of this, Chen Fan didn't hesitate at all, directly raising his blade and charging forward—nothing could stop him from becoming stronger!

Immediately after, Chen Fan leaped up, shooting like an arrow with a 'whoosh' towards the distant battlefield.

With the blessing of his golden finger, Chen Fan grew stronger with each battle, and his stamina also continuously recovered during combat.

This then formed a positive cycle.

In short, as long as there was a battle, Chen Fan's improvement had no upper limit, and coupled with almost infinite stamina, he was practically invincible.

As long as he wasn't instantly killed by a single blow, Chen Fan could wear down an opponent of similar strength until they died.

This was his greatest reliance in this wilderness rat tide.

Secondly, Chen Fan, relying on his top-tier comprehension, had fully mastered the first six stages of Ninefold Thunderblade and the Ten Blood Battle Styles, integrating them perfectly.

Mastery of the first six stages of Ninefold Thunderblade gave Chen Fan more flexible movement techniques and more precise control of his strength; it could be said to be a combination of break out (burst) and endurance.

With the Sixfold Thunder Blade, Chen Fan could unleash seven layers of hidden force, exerting five times his own strength.

Such a terrifying amplification was undoubtedly formidable for Chen Fan, who already possessed the strength of a mid-level War General.

Under a fivefold strength amplification, Chen Fan's power had reached the level of an elementary God of War, and coupled with his skilled (proficient) techniques, his combat power had reached a new level.

Wherever Chen Fan went, he swept away all kinds of rat monsters like a whirlwind, saving many War Dragon Group soldiers and martial artists.

“Roar~”

“Roar~”

“…”

Chen Fan's twin blades, wrapped in a fierce sharpness, plunged directly into the rat tide.

For a time, shrill roars continuously echoed.

Wherever Chen Fan passed, he inevitably left behind piles of Blackfang Rat corpses... As Chen Fan charged forward, in another battlefield about two kilometers from him, an elite squad of eight was also rapidly clearing out rat monsters, helping the War Dragon Group soldiers rebuild their defensive positions.

These eight martial artists, wearing black combat uniforms, all had an emblem of two crossed axes printed on their chests.

This was the 'Great Axe Squad', quite famous in Kyoto Base City.

The Great Axe Squad consisted of eight people, seven of whom used cold weapons, and the remaining one used a powerful high-precision sniper rifle, commonly known as a 'cannon'.

Unlike the charging formations of other martial artists, the Great Axe Squad chose to first clear out the remaining monsters within the position and rescue more War Dragon Group soldiers.

With the coordinated efforts of the Great Axe Squad's three low-level War Generals and five Senior Warriors, they quickly rescued dozens of soldiers on the brink of death.

During this period, the Great Axe Squad also jointly killed one mid-level Beast General and four low-level Beast Generals, achieving considerable gains.

Whoosh!

“Brother Chen, that’s the seventeenth rat soldier!”

A burly martial artist, over two meters tall, grinned as he looked at Captain Han Chen, who was diligently searching nearby, while cleaving a Blackfang Rat soldier that tried to attack him.

“Consider it a great achievement for you. I’ll give you a bigger share when we go back!”

Brother Chen, with his boss-like hairstyle and two long axes in hand, glanced at the burly man, then said earnestly:

“Don’t let me catch the leader of these Beast Generals, or you’ll be in a world of pain!”

As the captain of the Great Axe Squad, Han Chen's strength was that of an elementary War General. Under his twin axes, even Beast Generals of the same rank would not dare to directly confront him.

Currently, Han Chen was only a step away from becoming a mid-level War General.

“Come on, you’re just at the peak of a low-level War General. The leader monster of this Beast Tide is at least a High-level General; there’s still a long way to go!”

“Brother Chen, if you break through to a High-level General, I’ll treat you to a week-long all-nighter in Kyoto’s most bustling red-light district.”

“Me too!”

“…”

Han Chen: “Go, go, go, let’s finish this big battle first. Maybe I’ll break through to a mid-level War General in one go!”

Saying that, Brother Chen wielded the two Great Axes in his hands, making them whistle in the wind.

“This time’s harvest is enough; it’s almost equivalent to two months of our usual gains.”

The members of the Great Axe Squad all laughed.

Amidst their banter, the Great Axe Squad swiftly advanced, conducting segmented searches.

War Generals in front, Warriors in the back.

If they encountered a particularly tricky Beast General, they would collectively besiege it.

Boom boom boom!

Thud thud thud thud!

Deafening roars sounded from far to near.

Han Chen and his team members looked up one after another.

At the same time, all surviving War Dragon Group soldiers couldn't help but look up at the sky.

In the clear blue sky, several small black dots gradually grew larger, flying towards them.

It turned out to be two fighter jet formations and a Falcon Helicopter formation.

When they clearly saw the patterns on the fighter jets, everyone couldn't help but get excited.

That was the private plane of Fu Fengxue, the commander of the Ninth Army.

As one of the few God of War martial artists in all of humanity, Fu Fengxue's existence was not only a spiritual role model for all soldiers of the Ninth Army,

but also one of the greatest weapons of the Jingji Garrison and even the China military.

Without exaggeration, every commander of the Jingji Garrison was a God of War martial artist.

Only God of War powerhouses could lead these fierce, wolf-like warriors to resist monsters and defend their homeland.

At this moment, watching the fighter jets soaring overhead, preparing to air-drop, Li Yunfei's face showed a bitter smile: “Old man, you finally came.”

“This time, thank you…”

“Cough cough cough…”

Amidst violent coughing, Li Yunfei's brows relaxed slightly. He pulled out a Furongwang cigarette from his pocket and lit it.

Phew!

After taking a deep drag that consumed most of the cigarette, Li Yunfei stuck the remaining stub into the ground and stood up again.

He gazed in the direction where the fighter jets were hovering, his eyes deep.

Originally, when the beast tide began, Li Yunfei, due to misjudging the scale of the beast tide,

coupled with his confidence in the War Dragon Group's combat power and the fortress's firepower, led him to mistakenly believe that they could successfully resist this beast tide.

After all, in many previous beast tides, the War Dragon Group had easily defended against them and killed most of the invading enemies.

But this time, the beast tide was divided into a vanguard and a main force.

The preceding vanguard rat tide was merely a feint, intended to deceive the opponent.

It wasn't until black rat heads continuously emerged from the underground tunnels that he hastily requested reinforcements from headquarters.

Since things had come to this, further thought was useless.

Li Yunfei retracted his thoughts, looking at the high-ranking military officers descending like divine soldiers from the sky.

His previously exhausted body recovered a little strength, giving him the energy to charge again.

“Kill!”

Li Yunfei silently roared in his heart, then turned and charged forward…

“Kill!”
