Lonely Swordsman - C74
On the third day after Wang Zhentian withdrew his troops, a delegation from the Sichuan and Chongqing governments arrived in Mianzhou. After more than half a year of business, on December 15, 2035, the Southwest China Interim Government was finally formed. Chen Jing was elected Chairman of the Executive Committee.
The Southwest Interim Government currently has over 1 million square kilometers across seven provinces, including Sichuan, Chongqing, Shan, Gan, E, Xiang and Guizhou, and has a population of nearly 10 million people. The administration is managed by the Administration Council. The President of the Administration Council is Li Lingui, and the Vice President is Wang Jun and Zhang Xiang.
On the army side, there was an armed forces headquarters, with Chen Jing as the commander in chief, Zhang Jianjun as the commissar, Wang Zhentian as the deputy commander-in-chief and Zhou Tianyu as the chief of staff. Although he was not experienced, Zhou Tianyu had the ability to do so. The headquarters had four legions: the Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermillion Bird, and Black Tortoise.
The Black Turtle Regiment was made up of Yang Dahai as the commander, and Yang Jun as the commissar. Currently, it had the largest number of troops, with over a hundred thousand men in charge of the defense.
The Vermillion Bird Regiment is a mechanized Regiment, with Yang Weidong and Lu Min as the Regimental Commanders and Wang Zhoufu as the Political Commissar. At present, it has five divisions, a mechanized tank division; a motorized fast assault division, mainly equipped with high-speed off-road vehicles loaded with 14.5mm high fire machine guns, is easy to provide rapid firepower support; a third is an air force division; a fourth is a artillery division; and the last is an unmanned aerial unit, the division commander of which is both Lu Min and out.
Huang Xiaogang was the commander of the White Tiger Regiment, and Gu Wenhui was the commissar. The White Tiger Regiment was currently the main force of the Southwest Interim Government, and even though most of its troops had been cut off, there were still 10 divisions and more than 30 thousand combatants left. The main enemies of the White Tiger Regiment were zombies. Their equipment and weapons were the Hunting 01 Sniper Rifle, the Hunting 02 Sniper Rifle and the Model 29 Assault Rifle which was developed based on Hunting 01. The strength of the Sniper Rifle 02 was significantly higher than that of the 01 model. It was specially prepared for zombies of the fifth step, each equipped with a company. Type 29 assault rifles used the 5.8mm assault rifle with the technology of hunting 01, and its firing speed could reach 600 rounds per minute, 30 rounds of ammunition, which were commonly used before the catastrophe, had a firing speed twice that of a conventional rifle before the catastrophe, an effective range of 500 meters, which could kill ordinary zombies, and a range of 200 meters was a threat to level two zombies and even level three zombies. Currently, Xinyi Co., Ltd., is fully focused on producing 29 assault rifles, with a monthly production rate of 500 of them. Currently, more than 10 thousand of them are being produced, with less than 5 divisions being equipped. The other 5 divisions are also temporarily equipped with the original special sniper rifles.
The Green Dragon Regiment was the best combat force, with Wang Lei as its commander, Wu Rong as its commissar and Zhang Xinlin as its deputy commander. The entry requirement for the Azure Dragon Regiment was to be at the late-Third Order. After that, it would gradually increase in rank, mainly to contend against other human forces, and also to provide top-level battle power support for ordinary troops. Currently, the Azure Dragon Regiment had two large male and one female brigade, the leaders were Yang Qianhua, Zhou Jian and You Cai.
Three months ago, Wang Lei stepped into the Heaven Stage. Zhang Jianjun, Wu Rong, Yang Weidong, Huang Xiaogang, Wang Zhanfu, Zhou Jian, Zhang Bin, Yang Qianhua, Chen Lan, You Cai, Lu Min, Zhang Chengyun, Gao Zither, and so on, all of them have reached the Xiantian realm. Even Zixin has reached the Bone Forging stage, so her looks and lifespan have been guaranteed.
As Chen Jing progressed forward, the others naturally did not fall short either. Su City, the listed company, Peace City in the west, and Jiang Zhe in the south all formed an Eastern Alliance Government. Kyoto, Northeast, Luyu, Shaanggan and Guangdong and so on, each of the various dukes in the establishment of a country.
In the southwest, in addition to Chen Jing, there were two larger dukes. One was the autonomous government of western Guangdong, which occupied a large area of Guizhou and Guangxi, and the other was the land of Yunnan and Xichuan, which were established directly, also known as the Dali Kingdom.
When the news of Chen Jing’s establishment of the Southwest Provisional Government spread to western Guangdong and Dali, it naturally aroused a strong reaction. After all, these two roads were also located in the Southwest. How could Chen Jing tolerate Chen Jing fighting alone in the Southwest?
Although the Western Guangdong Autonomous Region Government took up a large amount of land, for some reason, it had never produced a Heaven Stage master, hence, it was not confident. Although it was angry, it did not dare to act rashly, and could only swallow its anger.
Because of his high talent, he was able to completely evolve during the catastrophe. After the catastrophe, he had countless fortuitous encounters and smoothly advanced all the way up to Heaven Stage, only one year later than Chen Jing. As a result, he established the Kingdom of Dali a year before the founding of the provisional government in the southwest and proclaimed himself a king.
Duan Zhiping thought highly of himself and had always considered himself the highest under the heavens. After hearing about the establishment of the Southwest Government, he immediately laughed out of extreme anger: “Alright, alright, alright. Even I don’t dare to call myself the King of the Southwest, who’s the clown with the surname Chen? How dare he overestimate himself! Hahaha, good good good good, this is to provide an excuse for This King! Pass down the order, This King will follow Cai Songpo’s example and attack the north personally! ”
“That big brother, I heard that Cai surnamed suffered defeat in Luzhou, then in Sichuan, he died. He didn’t even manage to get a single Yunnan.” The one who spoke was called Duan Zhijun, and he was Duan Zhiping’s blood brother. This guy’s education wasn’t low, but he was slightly dazed and didn’t wake up when doing things.
“You Japanese farmer (Japanese: Yunnan language, fool’s language), pour the water for laozi. laozi hasn’t even started, yet you’re already saying such depressing things, scram to the side for laozi!” Duan Zhiping was the one who was the most annoyed by his stupid brother. Originally, he wanted to act like a cultured person after becoming a developed country. Who knew that when he met this idiot, he would become a complete trash?
Duan Zhijun was still very afraid of his big brother, so when he heard his boss’s anger, he was so scared that he stopped talking. However, he still muttered in a wronged manner, “Who asked you to imitate that surnamed Cai, I was afraid that you wouldn’t be able to accomplish anything like that surnamed Cai. “[F * ck me, what do you mean by scolding me?
On October 1, 2036, almost at the same time that Ah Yu entered Central Asia, King Dali, Duan Zhiping, led a huge army of one hundred thousand and marched to the north with his own army. After the army left Dali’s territory, it headed north along the Jingkun Expressway, exterminating human settlements in Xichang, Quanning, Asbestos and Hanyuan, and arrived in Ya’an on October 15.
Yaan was a major town in the southwest of the interim government, guarded by a regiment of Black Turtle Regiment. Ya’an had a tall city wall. If they were to face the zombie army’s assault, Ya An City could resist for at least a few days, until reinforcements arrived. Unfortunately, under the bombardment of the Dali Legion’s heavy artillery, Ya An’s sturdy steel and concrete walls were blasted with countless holes even before they could last for half an hour.
After Ya An broke through, Duan Zhiping killed the old and the rebellious, as per his usual practice. He then returned to Dali to be a slave. For a time, the entire Ya’an City was filled with wails and cries, and rivers of blood flowed through it!
Upon receiving the news, Chen Jing and the others were so angry that their lungs were about to burst. They all gnashed their teeth and swore that they would completely and thoroughly wipe off this trash and pest from the face of the earth!
Therefore, Chen Jing used the Vermillion Bird Air Division, drone pilots, and the entire Azure Dragon Regiment to kill his way to Ya’an on the 16th, in the early hours of the morning. Of course, the first battle would be in the air, but how could the helicopter troops sent by the Dali Army be a match for the J-20 fighter jet? They were defeated within a few minutes. The next casualties were his artillery and mechanized legions. For modern warfare, the loss of air control is almost equal to failure. Thinking back to the Gulf War back then, the Iraqi troops with thousands of advanced tanks, due to the loss of control over the air, were unable to cause great trouble for the United Nations army as predicted. Facing the aerial assassins, the powerful steel legion was like a defenceless civilian that was easily decimated by Gu La!
Seeing that his powerful army had ended just like that, Duan Zhiping, who came from a peasant family, was like Saddam Hussein, who was instantly blinded. However, what was different from Saddam was that Duan Zhiping was a Heaven Stage powerhouse, and he was already a peak Heaven Stage long ago. Therefore, the furious Duan Zhiping shot up into the sky like an arrow aiming at a bow. With a “sou” sound, he met the attack head on and flew towards it.
Facing Duan Zhiping who was flying towards him at high speed, of course the J-20 pilot would shoot out a round of cannons, but it was a pity that Duan Zhiping’s speed was too fast, most of the cannons missed. Even if a few of the cannons hit the target, it was still non-armor piercing 30 mm artillery shells, so where could the defense of a peak Heaven Stage powerhouse be broken through?
Just at that moment, Duan Zhiping, who was rushing through the rain of bullets, broke through the cockpit of the J-20. The plane fell from the sky like a kite with its string cut.
When the other aircraft saw this, they all surrounded Duan Zhiping. The exploding cannons poured towards him like a waterfall, but how could they even harm Duan Zhiping when faced with the abnormal defense of a Heaven Stage expert?
Duan Zhiping’s speed was extremely fast. In just a few minutes, five combat jets were shot down. Seeing this, Chen Jing hastily ordered the fighter jet to retreat. He, Wang Lei, and Zhang Xinlin jumped out of the plane to meet Duan Zhiping’s attack while Wang Lei and Zhang Xinlin flanked them from behind.
Seeing Chen Jing flying over to meet him head-on, Duan Zhiping was not afraid in the slightest. He brandished his saber and chopped forward. Duan Zhiping was nearly 1.9 meters tall and weighed over two hundred pounds. He truly could be considered to have a strong, round waist and extraordinary strength. The huge blade in his hand weighed over a hundred pounds.
Chen Jing was an influential person in Taiji, so he naturally wouldn’t go head to head against this boor. Therefore, in the first round, Chen Jing lightly waved his sword and placed it on Duan Zhiping’s blade. He used the ‘draw’ character and the ‘shock’ character to easily dispel Duan Zhiping’s ferocious slashing.
No matter how weak he was, he should have been sent flying in the air. Unexpectedly, under the effect of the Taiji word “lead”, his body suddenly lost its balance, and the powerful heavy saber instantly brought him down with it. Luckily, he was in the air, so he didn’t fall to the ground and eat sh * t.
Duan Zhiping was a smart person. After falling from the clouds, he knew that he had hit an iron wall, so after falling, he ran backwards in an arc. Unfortunately, Wang Lei and Zhang Xinlin had already snuck behind him. Duan Zhiping turned around and saw that there were two experts blocking his way, while Chen Jing was also quickly chasing after him. His heart couldn’t help but thump loudly, thinking that he might have to die here today.
Seeing this situation, Duan Zhiping’s mind quickly spun. The inner strength that he had just exchanged a moment ago was obviously much stronger than his own. As for the other two, he didn’t know how strong they were and didn’t have the confidence to break through before Chen Jing caught up. Thus, after weighing the pros and cons for a moment, Duan Zhiping decisively decided to flee upwards. Chen Jing and the other two naturally followed closely behind.
Duan Zhiping’s speed was extremely fast. After a few minutes, he had already rushed out of the atmosphere. Chen Jing followed closely behind him. Wang Lei and Zhang Xinlin who were behind him had naturally rushed out of the atmosphere as well.
Duan Zhiping and Chen Jing had entered the Heaven Stage six years ago, and were already at the peak of the Heaven Stage now. Their bodies were tempered to an extremely formidable degree, so they were able to withstand the cosmic rays emitted by space. However, Wang Lei and Zhang Xinlin had only entered the Innate Realm for less than two years, and their cultivation had just barely reached the middle stage of the Heaven Stage. Actually, what Chen Jing and the others didn’t know was that in this time and space, cultivation should be divided into six stages, namely Qi Cultivation, Foundation Establishment, Core Formation, Spirit Severing, Nascent Soul, and Tribulation. Qi Cultivation was divided into the Houtian realm and Xiantian realm. The Houtian realm was divided into four small realms: Qi Condensation, Meridian Opening, Flesh Training, and Bone Refining. And the Xiantian realm was divided into the earth, sky, and universe realms. The four realms of the Houtian realm were similar to Chen Jing and the others’ understanding, but the understanding of the Xiantian realm was slightly different. Chen Jing and the others’ understanding of the Xiantian realm should be at the Earth realm, because even though they had comprehended the Xiantian realm, they had not broken through the Earth’s restraining force. The sky, on the other hand, had become free from the restraining force of the earth, and could fly in the sky like a bird. However, there was no clear line between the sky level and the universe level, the difference lay in the body’s strength. “Chen Jing and Duan Zhiping had actually already reached the Universe level long ago. It’s just that they didn’t know it themselves.
However, Wang Lei and Zhang Xinlin could not take it anymore. The physical damage caused by the hypervelocity of the universe particles caused by them was unbearable, so they had no choice but to return to the atmosphere. Even so, the cosmic rays had still caused great damage to their bodies, and although their bodies weren’t as strong as normal humans, such as cancer or leukemia, it was definitely not a day or two before they could recover.
As for Duan Zhiping and Chen Jing, after they rushed out of the atmosphere, due to the lack of resistance from the air, their speed rapidly increased. Not long later, they surpassed the first and second universe speeds …
Two hours later, the two were travelling at a speed far faster than the third universe, hundreds of thousands of kilometers away from Earth. The Earth behind them had long turned into a blue planet the size of a sun, however, the two of them were focused on chasing each other, they didn’t even have time to appreciate the beautiful scenery.
As for Duan Zhiping, who had been running for several hours, he was completely exhausted. However, when he felt Chen Jing and the others chasing after him, which he didn’t know was only Chen Jing, he thought Wang Lei and the others were chasing after him, he could only put his life on the line and continue to run. Luckily, heaven never bars one’s way. Just when Duan Zhiping was about to be unable to run, a whirlpool shaped hole suddenly appeared in front of him. The flustered Duan Zhiping dived in head first, while Chen Jing followed closely behind.
