Chapter 101

Chapter 101: Chapter 100 "What are you doing? Want to hit me? I’ll hit back, don’t think just because you’re a woman I’ll be scared of you!" Ye Tianchen said irritably as he looked at Liu Rumei.

"You... you’re just a pig, a pig that doesn’t know any better," Liu Rumei said, puffing up her cute face angrily.

"If I’m a pig, then so are you, because you’re talking to a pig right now. To be gender specific, I’m a boar, and you’re a sow...hahaha!"

"I’ll kill you!"

Seeing Ye Tianchen and Liu Rumei squabbling again, Yong Chun Tai, Liu Yu, Jiang Meng, and Fei Yun all looked on in speechlessness. Whenever these two met, they argued like enemies with no end, especially at such a critical moment of life and death. Both of them still had the mood to argue—it was exasperating.

Just a moment ago, Liu Rumei had been so worried about Ye Tianchen, but upon seeing him, especially his rascally manner and his inability to say anything decent, anger surged within her, filling her with the urge to beat him up, if only she were as skillful as him.

"Alright, let’s leave this place quickly, we might not have much time," Yong Chun Tai said.

"Yeah, I’m guessing all of Washington must be locked down by now. There are military planes hovering above; whether we can get out of Washington is itself a question," Ye Tianchen said, frowning.

"Let’s move, we can’t delay any longer!" Liu Yu said.

Everyone nodded their heads, fully aware of the grave situation. None had anticipated the U.S. government would stoop so low as first to dispatch the Blood Demon Mercenary Group for an ambush and then deploy the Superpower Special Agent Team from the U.S., and now even Washington’s entire military force was mobilized.

If the Blood Demon Mercenary Group and the U.S. Superpower Special Agent Team were formidable only as individuals, what Ye Tianchen and others were now facing was the entire military force of Washington. Unity is strength. No matter how strong one is, can they fight a hundred, a thousand, let alone ten thousand? And they were up against potentially thousands of well-trained soldiers armed with real bullets!

By the time Ye Tianchen and the others reached the place where the helicopter was parked, the pilot had been killed. Fortunately, Liu Yu knew how to fly, so he took over as pilot. Seeing Yong Chun Tai, Liu Rumei, and Fei Yun helping Jiang Meng onto the helicopter, Ye Tianchen also took his place in the copilot’s seat.

"Take off now. No matter what happens later, don’t worry about it. Just keep charging ahead, and get out of Washington first. I’ll handle the rest!" Ye Tianchen said seriously to Liu Yu.

"Yes!" Liu Yu had absolute trust in Ye Tianchen by now. There were no grievances between them, at most some rivalry between strong individuals, but that would never affect their moods.

Ever since they had arrived in Washington, had it not been for Ye Tianchen stepping in, how could they have protected Liu Rumei and completed their mission? Gradually, Liu Yu, Jiang Meng, and Fei Yun had all cleared up any misunderstandings about Ye Tianchen, and Yong Chun Tai had always thought highly of him. As for Liu Rumei, who knew how much longer they would continue their verbal sparring?

Liu Yu piloted the plane and headed southeast, the weakest defended area of Washington’s troops which they had learned about in advance. Yong Chun Tai and Liu Rumei both leaned back in their seats to rest, Fei Yun was dressing Jiang Meng’s wounds, and Ye Tianchen closed his eyes to rest after boarding the plane.

Ten minutes later, as they approached the southeastern mountains of Washington, they seemed to be nearing safety once they flew over. Liu Yu relaxed a bit, and Yong Chun Tai and Liu Rumei also heaved a sigh of relief. They had initially thought it would be difficult to fly out of Washington since Ye Tianchen had mentioned the city being entirely blockaded by the military, including the airspace.

"Looks like we’re about to fly out of Washington!" Liu Yu said with a smile.

"Mission accomplished smoothly," Fei Yun also said.

Suddenly, Ye Tianchen’s eyes snapped open and he stared intently ahead. "Turn right now!"

"What’s coming?" Liu Yu asked, slightly bewildered.

The roaring sound began, and right in front of the helicopter Ye Tianchen and the others were riding in, two military planes appeared. Before they could react, two more appeared from behind, enclosing them from all directions.

"Turn right, let me handle the rest!" Ye Tianchen said sternly.

Liu Yu snapped back to reality and quickly turned the plane to the right, daring not to fly forward anymore. Each of the four military aircraft was equipped with large-scale lethal weapons, and there might even be missiles involved. Charging head-on without guns or cannons was akin to making oneself a target, wasn’t it?

Ye Tianchen turned to Liu Rumei and said, "You guys go first, don’t worry about me. I’ll take care of these four military aircraft first."

"Hey... you..."

Before Liu Rumei could speak, Ye Tianchen had already opened the door of the plane. With his left hand propping on the door, he leaped onto the helicopter. Facing two aircraft charging from both front and back, Ye Tianchen frowned, realizing that to take down these four military aircraft, he had to use long-range superpower skills with significant destructive power.

At present, Ye Tianchen’s superpower realm had reached the King-level. Although this was still considered weak in the apocalypse, he was definitely a powerhouse in today’s world. However, he generally did not use some skills that consumed a lot of superpower as they could affect his breakthrough later on. Most critically, his body couldn’t fully withstand the strain of large-scale superpower skills; he needed to make his physique even more robust.

Bang bang bang!

All four military aircraft had machine guns installed and were firing at Ye Tianchen’s helicopter, apparently determined to blow it up if that would stop their escape.

Unfortunately, the bullets that hit the helicopter only made a metallic clanging sound and did not penetrate or cause any explosion. As for Ye Tianchen, who stood calmly on the helicopter, his body was enveloped by a faint shimmer. If Liu Rumei and the others saw this, they would definitely be taken aback as they did not know Ye Tianchen was a superpower user, let alone one whose realm had reached the King-level.

"Looks like I need to strengthen my physical training. Even a slightly stronger superpower light shield is starting to falter," Ye Tianchen said with a sigh after noticing his right hand’s base of the thumb split and bleed a little.

While the four military aircraft at the front and back were firing, Ye Tianchen used the strongest defense technique he knew, the "Superpower Light Shield." Otherwise, those bullets would have blown up the helicopter already.

Zoom!

An oncoming military aircraft fired a missile, making Ye Tianchen stunned. He thought angrily, "These American bastards are really ruthless. They’re using fighter jets equipped with missiles just to chase a few of us. It looks like I really need to have a talk with President Hei Bama; otherwise, it’s too much."

Instead of dodging the incoming missile, Ye Tianchen, in that instant, infused his superpower into his right hand and struck out. The missile, unbelievably, turned and flew back toward the aircraft that had launched it.

The soldier piloting the aircraft that had fired the missile saw it turn back toward him. His face went pale, unable to evade in time followed by a scream and then a loud boom. The aircraft exploded in mid-air, breaking apart into pieces with sparks flying spectacularly.

At this time, the remaining three military aircraft were stunned by the scene. They were part of the air force guarding Washington, and it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that they could evade incoming missiles as long as they weren’t too close – such was the strength of the American Air Force. But now, one of their skilled air force members couldn’t even evade a missile from a distance and got blasted to pieces, so how could they not be shocked?

However, they had no opportunity to be shocked anymore. In Ye Tianchen’s left hand appeared a bow, and in his right, an arrow materialized from his superpower. To deal with the remaining three military aircraft, he needed a weapon with long-range destructive power.

A bow and an arrow, named "Thunder Bow". Ye Tianchen had conceived this superpower during the apocalypse one stormy night filled with thunder as he meditated atop a desolate mountain peak. That night, as he aimed to break through to the Emperor-level superpower realm, he was struck by lightning, nearly killing him. From the power of thunder and lightning, he had derived this superpower skill.

Swoosh!

A light arrow was swiftly shot. Ye Tianchen had fired from the Thunder Bow, but he felt a bit dizzy afterward. The usage of the Thunder Bow consumed a lot of superpower, and since he had only recently broken through the King-level superpower realm, and his body wasn’t tough enough, he found it quite strenuous. He wouldn’t have used this superpower skill if not for such a critical moment.

Because, although using superpower to change the missile’s direction destroyed one aircraft, there were still three others. If all three aircraft launched missiles simultaneously, Ye Tianchen couldn’t guarantee that he could change the direction of all three, which is why he chose to preemptively use the Thunder Bow.

Bang boom!

Another loud explosion occurred as the second aircraft blew up in mid-air. The Thunder Arrow shot from the Thunder Bow was so fast that evasion was impossible.

Now, not only were the two remaining pilots dumbfounded, even Liu Yu, Yong Chun Tai, Liu Rumei, Fei Yun, and Jiang Meng inside the helicopter were all agape. They only saw a flash of light, and then two enemy aircraft exploded. They had no idea how Ye Tianchen had managed to do that. (To be continued.
