Chapter 958: Defeating the Heaven Sect!
"Damn dogs!! You guys finally can't hold on? Go to hell!!"
Within Thai Nguyen, Gan Tao was firing at the swarming Vietnamese soldiers, his eyes filled with joy and excitement. He was wielding only an assault rifle, walking through the battlefield like a death god, accurately taking headshots out of the incoming soldiers.
Gan Tao's brother and comrades had all perished at the hands of the Vietnamese, thus he was filled with a deep hatred for them. Due to the stop in fighting between both countries, he had vented his frustration and killing intent on Mutant Beasts and zombies, fighting crazily on the frontlines, thus his combat abilities rose quickly. Combing with the support of the Evolving Liquid, he had already become a Type 3 expert.
After he joined the fray, the experts of the VPDC also joined, clashing with him.
The battle reached a stalemate, with both sides suffering casualties, and at every inch of the battlefield, there was no sign of advance of either party.
After VPDC had gained the support of the Kingdom of God, their equipment and training had been heightened. Without the support of the Sky Fortress, Yue Zhong's forces in Vietnam was thus in a tough battle.
However, under the control of Ming Jia Jia, Thai Nguyen City was impregnable and full of military forts. The advance of the VPDC was thus hindered, as they tried their hardest to take out the defenses one by one.
On a highway from Hebei leading towards the capital, a convoy of machine-gun vehicles, IFVs, and cannon launchers were moving at high speeds. Together with some fuel trucks and resource carriers behind, the entire fleet stretched for about a few kilometers.
Inside a long, luxurious Rolls Royce vehicle, a middle-aged man with a medium built, nose with rosacea and pimpled face was currently enjoying himself with 4 beauties.
Another younger man, dressed like a hooligan with blond, spiky hair spoke out with doubt, "Boss, are we really going to attack Yue Zhong? He was the conqueror of the capital after all, not some riff-raff."
The middle-aged man was called Li Tian Ming, the current Sect Leader of the Heaven Sect in Hebei. His subordinate, the hooligan, was called Zhang Zi Zhen, one of the higher-ups within the Sect, and a trusted aide of Li Tian Ming.
Li Tian Ming laughed out loud, speaking dismissively, "Zi Zhen, don't worry. Yue Zhong disappeared for a year already. This time, 5 armies are attacking his faction. Furthermore, the Russians have the most lethal weapons, they will definitely focus on that side. Once both sides have suffered great losses, our 20,000-strong army will take the chance to conquer the capital. By that time, the whole of China will be our playground!! Hahaha!!"
Li Tian Ming threw a bottle of wine over to Zhang Zi Zhen, laughing, "Come, drink up! With our current speed, it would take about 10 days to reach the capital. By that time, there should be a victor. If the Russians won, we will take the chance to stab Yue Zhong in the back. If Yue Zhong's forces won, they should have suffered as well. We can then fight them, or negotiate. We can choose to invade or retreat, there would not be any problems."
Li Tian Ming never had the intention to contend with Yue Zhong's forces. Instead, he wanted to play the fisherman, waiting for his chance. With his forces, it was possible to reach the capital within a single day. However, they chose to proceed slowly.
As long as Li Tian Ming's forces took their time, it would pose a pressure on Yue Zhong's forces. Thus, Li Tian Ming only intended to draw out the forces, not fighting to the death with them.
Zhang Zi Zhen took the bottle, his heart relaxing slightly, as he hurried to fawn, "Boss is wise!"
"Haha!!" Li Tian Ming laughed out happily, before running his hands all over the beauties beside him, trying to kiss them. He was extremely unbridled and lewd, without any air of a commander at all.
Right at this time, a Thunder Fighter flew overhead, and the flaps opened, before Yue Zhong leaped down.
The moment he jumped out, he activated his Fourth Order Flight ability. Air began to surround him, and he seemed to merge with the sky, as long as he willed it, the air would push him towards the direction he desired. He was as free as the birds.
As he soared about for a while, he was extremely moved in his heart, "I can finally fly!!"
Flying freely in the sky had always been a dream of humankind. It was because of it that airplanes were invented. However, it was still impossible to fly without the use of some sort of mechanism or equipment. Currently, Yue Zhong was flying with his own strength, and it was enough to cause him to be overjoyed.
He quickly regained his calm and caught sight of the convoy below him. Eyeing the luxurious Rolls Royce, "These fellows are truly taking their time, causing me to wait for so long. That vehicle is pretty eye-catching, saves me the trouble of finding my target then."
Those who obtained some lucky windfall would usually flaunt their wealth, afraid that everyone else did not know about their status and wealth. In the apocalypse, many leaders had also come by their wealth accidentally and would start to lead degenerate lifestyles.
With a thought, Yue Zhong shot downwards in a beam of light.
The Fourth Order Flight ability was reliant on Yue Zhong's own constitution for its speed. With his peak-Type 5 physiques, pushing the Flight ability, he could reach speeds of Mach-2 as well.
In just 2 seconds, he had crossed the 600m distance, directly landing on the top of the Rolls Royce. He then grabbed out with his might, and tore off the roof in two, throwing the halves away casually.
Li Tian Ming was also an expert that had crawled through his fair share of zombies and Mutant Beasts. The moment the roof was torn off, his face changed, and he quickly tossed 2 of the women in his embrace at Yue Zhong, while roaring out, "Enemy attack!!"
Yue Zhong stretched out and casually negated the force from Li Tian Ming's throw, before casually pushing the 2 ladies to one side.
Zhang Zi Zhen's eyes turned bloodshot as he howled and activated his Third Order Werewolf Transformation, turning into a 3m-tall werewolf with rippling muscles and a ferocious glint in his eyes.
The moment he finished transforming, he directly pounced towards Yue Zhong, reaching out with his claws that could tear through tanks.
Zhang Zi Zhen had also come across a few miraculous encounters, obtaining such an ability after countless slaughter. The moment he transformed, he could even block heavy caliber bullets, his speed reaching the sound barrier, and his strength immense. Among other Type 3 experts, he was hard to deal with, and many experts had fallen at his hands.
Yue Zhong swept a bored glance at the vicious attack of Zhang Zi Zhen, and slapped out casually, his palm smacking against his forehead, directly knocking him out and sending a Type 3 Puppet Rune into his forehead.
Li Tian Ming saw how easily Yue Zhong subdued Zhang Zi Zhen, and his face fell as he exclaimed, "Brother!! Who are you?!! I, Li Tian Ming, haven't offended you, have I?"
"I'm Yue Zhong."
His words had just fallen when the next instant, he disappeared from his position.
"Fast!!"
Li Tian Ming felt a sense of danger arise, and he quickly tried to activate his life-saving treasure, as a bright green light radiated from him, turning into a protection.
At that instant, Yue Zhong appeared right behind him and slapped out at the green shield.
With a loud crack, the green shield that could defend against even rockets shattered, while Yue Zhong's palm continued towards Li Tian Ming's forehead, and sent him unconscious.
"How is this possible?! How could there be such a strong person on this Earth?!"
At that moment before he blacked out, this last thought flashed past Li Tian Ming's mind. He was also a Super Evolver, at the peak of the Type 3 realm. However, he had never seen someone able to destroy his green shield with a single smack. This exceeded his imagination.
A Type 5 expert was basically unrivaled on Earth. Only Type 4 and Type 5 Mutant Beasts could possibly injure or kill one. A Type 3 expert was unable to last even a single move against Yue Zhong.
After Li Tian Ming fainted, Yue Zhong swiftly sent another Type 3 Puppet Rune into his head.
Seeing how Yue Zhong took care of the top 2 experts of the Heaven Sect, the girls in the car all revealed expressions of fear, unsure how Yue Zhong would deal with them.
The Puppet Rune-controlled Zhang Zi Zhen came up to Yue Zhong and saluted respectfully, "Zhang Zi Zhen greets Master."
Yue Zhong asked, "Zhang Zi Zhen, take me to the Leader of this convoy."
Yue Zhong had intended to take out the leader of the Hebei forces, and crush this motley crew.
Zhang Zi Zhen pointed at the fainted Li Tian Ming and spoke, "Master, that is the leader of the Hebei forces, Li Tian Ming."
Li Tian Ming roused from his unconscious state and also came up to Yue Zhong, greeting, "Li Tian Ming greets Master."
