Chapter 269: Wu Tai Sect Elder Appears! He Really Might Be An Immortal!
Chen Han turned around and looked at the LCD screens and equipment behind him.
The equipment emitted an electronic sound.
The LCD screen actually lit up.
A middle-aged man appeared on the other side. Although he wore casual clothes, it was clear that his identity was far from ordinary.
Busy doctors were behind him, and the place was a ward.
Seeing this scene, Chen Han roughly understood what was going on.
The middle-aged man opposite was clearly surprised to see Chen Han and subconsciously said something in Myanmar language.
Seeing that Chen Han did not react, he questioned again in unfamiliar Chinese: “You… who are you? Where is Red Tiger?”
Chen Han ignored him and instead looked at the game prompt that appeared:
【Congratulations, you have cleared two Wu Tai Sect branch strongholds and killed the heavenly prodigies responsible for them. The Wu Tai Sect elite elder who controlled these two branch strongholds from behind the scenes has finally appeared. Please kill him as soon as possible to complete the dungeon task!】
The game task indicator map appeared again.
New red dots appeared there, and one red dot was even larger than the ones for Red Tiger and his companion.
Most importantly, the target’s location was in the city area. Comparing with the real map, that place was exactly a hospital.
“Who are you?”
“Answer me.”
“Let Red Tiger come see me.”
Seeing that Chen Han did not respond, the man repeatedly questioned him, already enraged, his gaze turning vicious.
“Red Tiger is already dead. Next is you.” Seeing that the other party could speak Chinese, Chen Han’s words carried killing intent.
Whether because of the little girl who had appeared here or because he had to complete the dungeon task, this guy on the other side was already a dead man.
“Who exactly are you? Do you know Red Tiger is my man? Do you know this area is under my jurisdiction?” Barto’s face showed even greater rage.
He had not expected that at such a critical moment something would go wrong on Red Tiger’s side. Truly useless.
At this moment, a person behind him, clearly a doctor, reported in panic: “General Barto, the young lady’s condition is very bad. We must get the heart sent over as soon as possible.”
Hearing this, Barto looked at Chen Han with open threats in his tone: “I don’t care who you are. Leave that child there, and I will give you a chance to run for your life. Otherwise, you are dead.”
He now deeply regretted it.
Why had he trusted the useless Red Tiger?
He had clearly already found the supply source that matched his daughter, yet he still worried about that Eastern Country’s people and the reporters, and sent the supply to Red Tiger to handle.
But when he thought of that Eastern Country, he also felt helpless.
The other side was too powerful.
Previously, when they had captured so many people, it was because someone had been caught with evidence, and there was no way for his side to explain.
As a result, three warlord factions on their side vanished, all taken out by the big warlords of the allied armies working together.
Some things could be argued away if there was no hard evidence, but once there was evidence, there was truly nothing that could be done.
He did not want to be the next one.
Who knew that because of this concern something would go wrong with that useless Red Tiger.
“Is that so?” Chen Han let out a cold laugh, stopped paying attention to his nonsense, directly picked up the little girl, and walked out.
With the game system locking onto him, this so-called General Barto had nowhere to run. He was as good as dead.
However, the man’s words made Chen Han recall a line from a movie: “Some children are simply children, but some children are not ordinary children.”
It turned out that abroad, that line could be so real.
Seeing the other party carry the little girl away, Barto was completely enraged. “Damn it, bastard, so you really don’t know what kind of place this is?”
As the figure disappeared from the screen, he hurriedly shouted to the side: “Tell the military camp to handle this. Get rid of that guy, chop him up and feed him to the dogs, then bring the little girl back to me safely.”
The other side had no idea his military camp was in the vicinity, which was why Red Tiger’s factory was there.
And the reason he controlled people like Red Tiger, besides raising military funds, was mainly for his daughter.
Now, after finally finding supplies that matched his daughter, with her condition worsening, he no longer had so many scruples.
…
Carrying the little girl, Chen Han left the factory and placed her on the back seat of that car.
He got in himself, started the engine, and headed toward the city.
But not long after the car had set off, he received another prompt from the game system:
【Your sweeping of two Wu Tai Sect branch strongholds has enraged the Wu Tai Sect elite elder, who has issued a kill order against you. Numerous Wu Tai Sect members are heading to attack you.
Please break through the siege as soon as possible and go kill the Wu Tai Sect elite elder.】
At this moment, he also saw on the task indicator map that red dots suddenly began to surge rapidly toward his area.
Moreover, the red dots were so dense that the number was impossible to count.
Chen Han immediately understood. This was General Barto mobilizing his army, which made him stop the car.
In other words, the real challenge of this Green Snail Valley demon extermination task had arrived.
Now he could truly test his strength.
After all, the two Wu Tai Sect branch strongholds had not put him under much pressure. They had not cost him much effort, and he had barely consumed any true qi.
He got out of the car, walked forward to meet them, and stopped at a favorable position to wait for the Wu Tai Sect army’s arrival.
At that moment, he heard the sound of drones and looked up to see three drones hovering in the sky.
At the same time, military vehicles rushed quickly in the distance, heading in the same direction. Each vehicle bore a special emblem, the emblem of General Barto.
These drones should be his reconnaissance tools.
Although General Barto’s faction could not compare with the warlords of the United Allied Armies, in this city his word was absolute.
He had not had conflicts with other warlords before, so no one had targeted him.
But Barto was not without ambition. For example, controlling scam organizations was to earn more money and secretly build up strength.
After all, expanding power and strengthening one’s forces cost money.
In addition to finding a supply source for his daughter, he had also used some supplies to solve problems for many big figures.
That was connections.
Barto believed that one day, when he unleashed his power, he would definitely climb higher.
At this moment, in a command vehicle, Im was staring dumbfounded at the footage transmitted back by the drones. It was actually an old man.
General Barto had always told them to keep a low profile. Usually, aside from training, there were no major operations.
This time, there was suddenly a big operation, and it was actually to deal with an old man?
He naturally knew about what had happened on Red Tiger’s side and had assumed the one who took the goods was an organization.
But what kind of joke was this?
To be safe, he had brought 1,000 men and plenty of heavy weapons.
At this moment, Im suddenly saw the drone feed cut out.
The adjutant beside him immediately reported, “The drone was attacked and destroyed.”
Im reacted. “There must be more than one enemy. Launch new drones. Take that old man out first, then find the rest of them.”
With his order, new drones were launched and fresh footage was transmitted back.
A shocking scene appeared for Im. The old man was actually moving directly toward their direction.
“What is he doing?” Im was stunned.
In this situation, with their 1,000-plus men, the enemy should be running, with them in pursuit.
But now the other side was heading straight at them. It was too strange.
In the next moment, a soldier at his side cried out in alarm, “He… he’s gone, the old man is gone.”
Im also saw that the man had disappeared from the drone footage.
This eerie scene made him shout at once, “Launch a few more drones. Scan carefully. I don’t believe someone can just vanish into thin air.”
“Yes!” came the response.
As several more drones took off, the display split into additional views, scanning quickly ahead and in all directions.
Very soon, Im saw a terrifying scene.
One drone’s footage suddenly showed a snowflake pattern.
When the snowflakes disappeared, the old man’s figure appeared in the frame.
In the next instant, the image turned to snow again. When it cleared, the old man had vanished.
Then, on another drone’s feed, a snowflake pattern appeared, and the old man resurfaced.
Then it repeated.
The scene became even stranger.
Im rose inside the command vehicle, grabbed his telescope, and saw an even more horrifying sight.
The old man was rapidly approaching them in a flickering manner, his figure appearing and disappearing, each flash accompanied by a gleam of golden light.
Im was terrified.
What exactly had General Barto sent them to face?
The soldiers at the front also saw him from afar, and clearly could not make sense of it, causing a wave of unease.
Confronted with something so incomprehensible, Im hastily shouted, “Open fire with everything you’ve got. Hit him with the heavy artillery and the rocket launchers…”
When humans face the unknown, fear comes from insufficient firepower. As long as there is enough firepower, no matter how unknown the threat, they will dare to strike first.
The soldiers snapped out of it and raised their weapons, firing in unison in Chen Han’s direction. Countless bullets howled toward him.
Chen Han did not dodge. He directly used the Heart Light Escape Technique and advanced against the hail of bullets. Most bullets were avoided by his flashing movements, while the remaining few were blocked by the Spirit Jade Ball’s shield.
They simply could not harm him.
After all, the defense of the level 4 Spirit Jade Ball could already withstand bullets.
Im and the surrounding soldiers were dumbstruck by this scene, unable to believe what they were seeing.
At this moment, the shriek of shells cutting through the air and the roar of artillery blasts rang out.
Chen Han naturally noticed, and with his vision he could even track the incoming shells. He used the Heart Light Escape Technique to flicker aside.
What he had not expected was that when he appeared again, a shell happened to land right where he appeared.
Chen Han froze for a moment, not sure if it was coincidence or if some gunner had predicted his move.
Boom!
An instant explosion. The terrifying impact and flames engulfed Chen Han.
Seeing this, Im clenched his fists.
Direct hit.
Given the power of that shell, he did not believe the target could still be alive. They could then feed the corpse to the dogs, which would count as completing General Barto’s task.
But then he suddenly thought of something. With such bizarre abilities, was it possible to obtain what the man had?
If so, replacing General Barto might not be impossible.
He suddenly found himself praying that the man would not die.
In the next instant, he cried out, “How is this possible?”
As the smoke cleared, the old man walked out unharmed.
This scene shocked everyone.
How could someone be at the center of a shell blast and be completely fine?
Looking at the shield that had protected him and remained intact, Chen Han was very satisfied with the defense of the level 6 Spirit Jade Ball.
Since such weapons could hardly threaten him, as long as he did not foolishly stand still and get locked on, within this area it was time for the old daoist priest to sweep away the demons.
Using the Heart Light Escape Technique, he flickered twice and arrived in front of a group of soldiers. Before they could react, steel needles shot out in volleys with the Sword Control Technique.
This time, he did not hold back. He unleashed all over one hundred lightness +1 steel needles. In moments, dense ranks of soldiers fell in unison.
Those around them, seeing this, felt a chill run down their spines. Some instinctively raised their weapons and fired at Chen Han, but their attacks were blocked by the Spirit Jade Ball.
Then they too fell one after another, along with the people around them.
Im was scared out of his wits by this.
He had never imagined that the soldiers he had trained could one day be harvested like wheat.
Yes, like wheat; each sweep cut down a wide swath.
He suddenly realized something truly terrifying. After just two such sweeps, it seemed a tenth of the men he had brought were down.
The rest could not endure many more passes.
“Quick, turn around and run!” Im was now completely terrified. He no longer had any desire to obtain the enemy’s abilities, nor the courage to reorganize an attack.
He simply could not grasp why General Barto had provoked such a terrifying existence.
More importantly, why did such a terrifying being even exist in this world?
This was not human.
With the command vehicle turning to flee, the remaining soldiers broke completely. They did not dare stay; they turned and ran.
They already knew that the weapons in their hands were no better than fire sticks. They had no will left to resist.
Watching the fleeing figures, Chen Han experienced for the first time the power of a cultivator.
No wonder, in the Shu Shan Swordsman World, experts of the demonic path dared to slaughter cities to refine demonic artifacts, and even in some adapted film and television versions there were those who tried to destroy the world.
It was because mortals were far too weak in the eyes of cultivators.
Look at these people before him. Their weapons were far stronger than the sabers and swords of ancient armies, yet they could do nothing against him, a cultivation novice who had not even broken his meridians.
However, Chen Han had no intention of letting this Wu Tai Sect army go. Since they had all been marked as red dots by the system, they would all stay here.
He did not use the Heart Light Escape Technique again, because his physical fitness alone far surpassed that of these soldiers. Wherever he passed, steel needles whirled, leaving only corpses on the ground.
In the end, none survived.
Sitting in the command vehicle after driving some distance, Im finally dared to stand and look back to assess the situation, only to witness a horrifying sight.
Not a single one of the men he had brought was still standing. He understood perfectly well what that meant.
It was too terrifying.
In the next moment, he felt a sharp pain in his throat. Blood sprayed out, splashing before his eyes, followed by rapidly encroaching darkness.
As his life left him, there was only fear in his eyes. He could not comprehend why such a terrifying being existed in this world.
Moments later, the vehicle veered, rolling down.
“Whew.” Chen Han exhaled. After all of this, his expenditure was enormous, and his true qi was almost exhausted.
However, many White Lights were floating around. This wave of monsters had dropped quite a lot of items.
He picked them up one by one.
Primary Spirit Stone, Magic Blood Stone, Primary Spirit Stone, Primary Spirit Stone, Magic Blood Stone…
They were all these two items. This time, he had obtained a huge number of Primary Spirit Stones; there were already over fifty in the game warehouse.
He also had seven Magic Blood Stones now.
As for other items, none had dropped, but ordinary soldiers, even in the Wu Tai Sect, were still just small monsters. It was already good that they dropped anything.
Chen Han returned to the car and looked at the still-unconscious little girl in the back seat. He was not sure how to handle this. Next, he had to go find General Barto. Once he completed the task, he would return to the Chen Clan. He definitely could not take her back there.
Just then, he saw a bus driving over.
He found the bus familiar. Was it not the same one from before? There were no red dots inside the vehicle, so he paid some attention.
Inside the bus, Cao Xin still could not calm down. Today’s events had been too much of a shock. He had never imagined an individual could possess such terrifying power.
But he clearly understood that they must not drag that old daoist priest into this. Captain Li and the others understood, and so did he.
Now he had to pick up the people they had previously dropped off and then contact the embassy.
Suddenly, through the rearview mirror, he saw a horrifying scene: a figure appeared inside the bus. It was that old daoist priest.
His hair stood on end instantly as he recalled the Asura Hell-like scene.
In the next moment, he saw golden light flash, and the man disappeared again. But there was now an unconscious little girl on one of the seats.
That made him instinctively stop. He went to check on the girl and quickly understood that the old daoist priest had saved her.
After confirming that the girl was fine, he hurried back to the driver’s seat and drove on. But as he turned a bend, he was scared out of his wits.
He saw rows of military vehicles and what seemed to be artillery.
He knew very well which faction was behind such forces in this place. Running into them meant certain death.
But moments later, he realized something was off. Then, his eyes went wide in horror. The ground was covered in bodies, densely packed.
It was clearly an entire army, but now they all seemed dead.
He instinctively drove closer and got out to check the bodies. Seeing the ghastly wounds on their necks, he swallowed hard.
This…
The earlier scene with the scam organization had already shocked him, but compared to this annihilated army, it was nothing.
There was not only a difference in numbers but also in combat power. They even had artillery and rocket launchers, heavy weapons.
Could this still be within the scope of mortal strength?
He quickly took out his mobile phone and opened a video call to Captain Li again. Even the leaders would be scared senseless.
At that moment, Li Rui was on his phone contacting the other side, making arrangements to ensure Cao Xin’s safe return.
Seeing Cao Xin’s call, he answered immediately, only to hear Cao Xin’s urgent, shaken voice: “Captain, that old daoist priest from the Chen Clan might really be an immortal.”
This stunned Li Rui, and the leader in charge also came over, asking, “What did that old daoist priest do now?”
“You will understand when you see this.” Cao Xin turned the camera, showing them the horrifying scene.
The instant Li Rui and the others saw the video, they were clearly hit by a huge shock, their eyes wide.
An… an entire army?
And one with full artillery support?
And now they had all been wiped out by that old daoist priest?
This… this was on a different level entirely.
As the video panned, they even saw shell craters. That meant even those weapons had been useless against the old daoist priest.
They felt incredibly fortunate about how they had handled things. This definitely had nothing to do with the old daoist priest. This must have been the result of local forces breaking into a full-scale conflict.
…
Kotolra City was the city under General Barto’s control. As a vehicle approached the city, many cars and pedestrians hurriedly moved aside in fear.
Sitting in the car watching this, Chen Han understood roughly that it was because of the emblem on this vehicle. The locals clearly knew whose car this was and what it was used for.
This also showed that such matters had long become something ordinary people were used to here, common knowledge.
Think of how, within the country, there were countless descriptions of such things online. The anti-fraud app constantly warned people. The news was always reporting it, and yet people still did not take it seriously.
So if people still got lured over under such circumstances, they really could not blame anyone else.
Chen Han stepped on the accelerator and entered the city.
At Kotolra City Hospital, Barto watched his daughter on the bed and the busy doctors, feeling extremely anxious.
“General Barto, we must hurry,” the doctor said, wiping sweat from his forehead.
“Right.” Barto nodded. Seeing that there was still no news, he immediately picked up his telephone, dialed a number, and demanded, “Why is it not done yet? How much longer do I have to wait?”
A panicked report came from the other end: “General Barto, Im took people out, but they suddenly lost contact. I can’t reach any of them. I have already sent people to investigate. There will be news soon.”
“Hurry up. If something happens to my daughter, Im is dead.” Barto snorted coldly and hung up, then anxiously stepped forward to look at his daughter.
Time passed. Barto’s ringtone sounded. He quickly answered, just about to snap at them again, when he heard a flustered voice: “General Barto, this is bad, something huge has happened. Im took out over 1,000 men, and they were all wiped out.”
“What?” Hearing this, Barto felt as if he had just heard the greatest joke.
In his territory, such a thing should be impossible.
But when he saw the video sent over by his subordinate, his expression completely changed.
The people in the video were indeed his men. Im and everyone he had taken out had become corpses.
Crucially, the military vehicles and weapons had not been taken. This meant it was not done by another faction; otherwise those items would never have been left intact.
So who could have done this?
The image of that old man immediately surfaced in his mind.
“Impossible.” Barto shook his head at once. He told himself he was overthinking it. Without support, without backup weapons, it was impossible to kill so many of his men on his turf.
At this moment, he suddenly heard chaos and screams outside.
Then came his men’s angry shout: “Damn it, who are you?”
The next moment, the voices abruptly stopped.
Outside suddenly fell silent, and then the door opened.
A figure he had never expected and could not believe appeared and walked in.
Outside the door, the guards he had stationed were all lying in pools of blood.
