451: Chapter 444: Want to Be a Warlord?
On the rooftop terrace of the park area.
Blasting an armed helicopter with a single punch, Chen Hai found it a bit taxing.
He estimated he could only unleash such attacks a maximum of one hundred and eighty times.
“Fist Intent Breaking Sky — attacking targets two to three kilometers away, this must be my current limit.”
“Destroying a helicopter, I feel it’s a bit forced.
Faced with a real fighter jet, relying solely on my fists, I definitely won’t be able to handle it.”
“Perhaps, only by using the Hongming Blade can I handle modern weapons of this level…”
Frowning, Chen Hai thought for a while, and muttered to himself.
The Hongming Blade — he hadn’t used it for quite some time.
When he was in seclusion on Great Snow Mountain in Hokkaido, because there wasn’t enough Blood Food for it to consume, it protested many times to Chen Hai.
Unfortunately, without sufficient Mana to squander, the Hongming Blade’s power was limited.
After the surge in Chen Hai’s power, he easily defeated the Hongming.
After a few protests, and being disciplined by Chen Hai a few times…
The blade began to play dead; when Chen Hai called it, it no longer responded in any way.
Given this situation, Chen Hai could only store it in his Storage Pouch, and unless it was absolutely necessary, he was simply too lazy to use it.
Descending from the rooftop terrace, he returned to the park entrance.
Aside from Tian Mingjian and his group, no one originally in the park was left — all had cleanly left.
For those victims, this place was the stuff of nightmares.
Since they had the chance to leave, they would naturally run as far and as fast as they could.
As for those criminals who slipped through the net, the fate of their compatriots lay bare before them; if they didn’t hurry to flee from here, and continued to stay, did they think they had long lives and were seeking death?
Of course, Sun Jinzhong and Zhang Xia definitely hadn’t fled with those people.
Just as Chen Hai returned to the park entrance, they both emerged from under an off-road vehicle.
“Cousin, who are these brothers…” Sun Jinzhong started to ask.
He was relatively familiar with people like Tong Daqiang and Qiu Dazhi.
He had never met those like Tian Mingjian from Capital City.
The main reason for this was that Chen Hai didn’t want his relatives from his hometown to get involved in violent activities.
Without Chen Hai’s intervention, people like Tian Mingjian and Bai Baoshan were formidable and ruthless on their own.
Following Chen Hai, they had inevitably stepped into some gray areas, but compared to their original fate, their lives were certainly much better.
Chen Hai felt somewhat sorry for the deaths of Bai Xiaohang and Bai Baoshan, but mainly, they died due to their own carelessness.
Compared to their destined fates, at least, their families and friends were unharmed and lived relatively well off.
Tian Mingjian, originally, would have been attacked and killed shortly into his second year following Chen Hai!
Now, although forced to flee the country and mixing in Southeast Asia, at least he was still alive and well.
Tian Mingjian, as well as his mercenaries, each carried an aura of fierceness.
To them, Sun Jinzhong was somewhat fearful.
If it hadn’t been so, upon Chen Hai’s temporary departure, he wouldn’t have grabbed Zhang Xia and hidden directly under an off-road vehicle.
“This is my old buddy, Tian Mingjian, who now works as a mercenary in Southeast Asia!”
“As for the others, I don’t know them well; let him introduce himself to you.”
Smiling, Chen Hai pointed to Tian Mingjian and introduced him to Sun Jinzhong.
“I know you, boss’s cousin.
I’ve heard the boss mention you before!”
With an easygoing manner, Tian Mingjian nodded at Sun Jinzhong.
He pointed his hand towards his men and introduced them: “This is Mountain Cat, this is Crow, this is White Eagle…”
The numerous mercenaries were extremely enthusiastic toward Sun Jinzhong and Zhang Xia.
Whether Chen Hai had destroyed the Apache with a single punch or not, just his previously demonstrated abilities were enough to have these guys completely convinced and filled with admiration.
With Sun Jinzhong right there, being Chen Hai’s cousin, getting close and building good relations, the mercenaries were naturally very willing.
“Boss, the Kachin Army has sent two battalions!”
“According to the information I got, they should be arriving here at the park soon.”
“If we don’t leave and continue to stay here, are you planning to confront them head-on?”
Unable to confirm whether the Apache had been destroyed by his own boss, Tian Mingjian looked somewhat worried.
He approached Chen Hai with a serious expression and asked,
“A multitude of ants cannot shake a mighty tree.
Against absolute power, numbers mean nothing!”
“Just two brigades, no problem, leave it to me to handle!”
Chen Hai laughed with a look of disdain.
He then added, “The reason this place in Myanmar North is shrouded in chaos is closely related to the deliberate indulgence of these warlords.”
“I didn’t know about the situation here before, but now that I’m here, this place definitely needs to be thoroughly cleared.”
“By the way, have you and your men ever thought about seizing a territory and becoming warlords yourselves?”
Back in the country, Tian Mingjian was not fit to return!
Before he escaped abroad, the young master he had killed still had relatives in high positions.
In this situation, even Chen Hai couldn’t do much to clear the charges against him.
Asking Tian Mingjian if he was interested in becoming a warlord was just an impulsive idea to find a better way out for his men.
“Seize a territory, become a warlord…” Upon hearing Chen Hai’s words, Tian Mingjian felt a light in front of him.
He clearly understood what his boss meant!
“Boss, if I take control, I will eliminate places like the garden area one by one!”
“I can guarantee that schemes against our countrymen won’t find any breeding ground in my territory!”
His eyes sparkling, without much hesitation, Tian Mingjian immediately spoke up and promised.
Though he didn’t directly say he wanted to take territory and become a warlord, the meaning was clearly expressed.
“With that resolve, that’s already good enough!” Chen Hai smiled and nodded, then shifted his gaze toward the main road leading out of the garden area.
Several miles away, Luo Dayong’s two brigades of the Kachin Army had appeared on the horizon.
Four or five tanks led the group, followed by armored vehicles, and behind them were the troop carriers.
Naturally, the road could not fit four or five tanks side by side.
However, the region where the garden was located was mostly barren, with sporadic buildings and very few of them.
Many vehicles drove directly over the barren land on either side of the road.
Any military superpower certainly has mechanized infantry units.
The two brigades of the Kachin Army could be seen as a makeshift version of such units.
However, most of their transport vehicles were old and shabby, giving off a cheap and low-grade feeling.
“Boom, boom, boom…” Still a good distance from the garden area.
As if to show off, the few tanks in front had already fired several shells.
Unfortunately, these tanks, likely outdated models from decades ago,
launched shells that landed at least fifty meters away from Chen Hai, Tian Mingjian, and the others at their closest.
Perhaps they never intended to hit their target with their shells; it was purely for showing off!
“Mingjian, you and your men just watch the show from here!”
“Since the guests have arrived, leave it to me to handle.”
“If you really want to help, keep your distance and shout a few times, telling the soldiers to throw down their weapons, hold their heads with their hands, and squat on the ground, otherwise, no mercy will be shown!”
…
As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Hai turned and rushed towards the direction the Kachin Army was attacking from.
At full speed, he sprinted with such speed that his figure was hard to see, leaving only a trail of fierce wind sweeping by.
“Crackle pop…” the sound of gunfire resembling bursting popcorn.
Unfortunately, no one could aim at Chen Hai, and even the occasional stray bullet that hit him caused no harm whatsoever.
In just a few breaths, Chen Hai had crossed several miles and was next to the leading tank.
With his ability to control fire, he could have ignited a sea of flames to incinerate everything he passed into ashes.
Perhaps he wanted to leave more manpower for Tian Mingjian and did not want to cause too many casualties.
At that moment, he did not use his Flame Power, but simply kicked fiercely at the tank in front of him.
The next moment, the heavy tank, weighing dozens of tons, was kicked off the ground and sent flying.
