Martial Arts Song

Chapter 403: Travelers
The twenty-fourth year of the Central Calendar, October 9th, 7:35 am.

The people of "Hu Hai" and even the Central Kingdom will remember this day forever.

Accompanied by faint sounds of explosions coming from the depths of the East China Sea.

People living in the "Huhai" Wusong District of Xicheng, Gangqiao District of Dongcheng and Chongyue Island subconsciously put down what they were doing and looked towards the direction of the East China Sea.

A distance of ten nautical miles is about eighteen or nineteen kilometers when converted into kilometers.

For ordinary people, the vision is blocked by three units of the horizon, which makes people unable to see what is happening specifically in the East China Sea.

However, the roar of the explosion was carried by the sea breeze to the city of "Huhai", allowing people to hear the noise there.

After all the rumors and chaos in "Hu Hai" during this period of time, people realized something, but there was still an expression of disbelief on their faces.

It was not until black spots began to appear on the horizon and riots broke out suddenly in the Wusong District of Xicheng and the Gangqiao District of Dongcheng in "Huhai" and a group of Ryuying soldiers who appeared from nowhere began to attack the ports of these two areas with weapons, that people realized that all this was not a dream but a real war!
“Buzz~~~”

The black spot on the horizon quickly grew larger from far away, and made a buzzing sound as if the propeller wings were spinning wildly.

As the black spots gradually approached, people could see clearly that they were actually airplanes!

These planes flew directly into the sky above the city of "Hu Hai" from high altitude and dropped shells one after another.

"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"

After the shells hit the ground, there was an instantaneous violent explosion, and waves of flames were set off!

In an instant, the city of "Huhai" was engulfed in flames of war.

Explosions continued, huge waves of flames emerged from time to time, people panicked and fled, and some unlucky people were directly swallowed up by a fallen shell.

But more people were living in deep fear, constantly hiding and fleeing. Many people were injured in the panic, either by shrapnel from the explosion or by the debris blown away by the explosion.

Countless screams and cries continued to be heard.

Faced with such a surprise attack, the central government naturally counterattacked immediately.

In the West City, a large number of official soldiers from the Central State were dispatched to suppress the Ryuying soldiers who appeared from nowhere and engaged in a firefight with them.

But in the era of hot weapons, what matters is not the number of people, but the weapons.

The weapons in the hands of those Ryuying soldiers are more powerful, durable and easy to use than those in the hands of the official soldiers of the Central State!
Although the Central State's official side had a large number of people, they were unable to match the firepower and could only rely on their numerical advantage to engage in a protracted battle with these Ryuying soldiers.

At the same time, a number of Central Country official air force planes also flew in from the far suburbs of "Hu Hai" and started an air battle with the Ryuying Air Force in the sky.

For a moment, the sky above "Huhai" was filled with countless planes.

From time to time, a plane would suddenly crash and fall to the ground.

But whether it was the Central Country's plane or the Ryuying's plane that fell to the ground, it was almost like a cannonball falling, directly blowing up the houses below and ejecting countless fragments and rubble around, affecting the people of "Hu Hai".

In addition, the number of aircraft on the Central State side is constantly decreasing.

But the number of Ryuying's planes in the East China Sea is increasing continuously!
The gap in military power between Yangguo and Liuying was immediately revealed vividly!

"Is this war..."

Sanlin District, Zhaole Road.

Chen Qing stood on the roof of Lin Manli's house, looking at the planes engaging in fierce combat above his head, and the huge waves of fire exploding between the tall buildings on the opposite bank in the direction of West City, with a look of shock on his face.

Despite the historical experience in the previous life and having watched many 3D and imax special effects war films in the cinema.

But after witnessing the real war with his own eyes, he was still greatly shocked!
Real war cannot be compared to those movies shown on the screen!
At the same time, Chen Qing finally understood why there are such groups of masters in this world, but they are still unable to change the current situation of the world.

Because even a great master who has achieved the "Three Transformations" would seem insignificant in this war full of gunfire!
"It's not a big problem for a great master to survive in a war, but it's basically impossible to change the situation... I don't know if a peerless master has the ability to change the situation..."

Just as Chen Qing was thinking this in his heart, bursts of noisy sounds began to reach his ears.

"Master, what shall we do?"

"Let's go, find a place to hide in Sanlin Town. There are no buildings there, and there are trees to cover us. Ryuying shouldn't bomb there!"

"We are at least several miles away from Sanlin Town. Can we really get there safely?!"

"It's better than staying here and waiting to die!"

The neighbors around, a family next door were discussing running away.

In the alleys downstairs, more people ran out of their houses and left the place in panic.

Some kind-hearted people will even knock on doors to remind people.

Of course, there were also some people with thieves' intentions who took advantage of the chaos to break into some people's homes and loot them.

In short, under the bombing of the Ryusaku military, the people of the entire "Hu Hai" fell into chaos, and most people were running around in panic.

Chen Qing saw all of this, but did not move at all.

Not only did he not move, he also asked Chen Yang, Chen Zhengzhong, Yang Ying, Lin Manli, and Jiang Ying to stay at home and gather in the inner courtyard under the skylight.

With his current [God] value that is infinitely close to "Divine Transformation", he can naturally sense and dodge it immediately if a shell falls on his head and lands near him.

But the Chen family, Lin Manli, Jiang Ying and others can't do that.

He could judge where it would land and dodge it, but others couldn't.

He was alone and couldn't dodge with so many people at the same time.

Therefore, instead of taking the Chen family around looking for a place to avoid the bombing, it is better to stay at Lin Manli's house.

At least there is enough food here.

If a shell really fell here, there would at least be a concrete roof above our heads to block it.

Although the concrete roof could not withstand the explosion of artillery shells and would collapse, crushing people in the stone rubble, these were not a problem with him there.

As long as he is not hit directly by a shell, he can block the shrapnel and gravel.

At the same time, with his strong physique, he can also resist the collapse of the house.

If the house really collapsed, he would just have to block Chen Yang and others in a corner and stand alone against the falling concrete and stones.

Of course, this method was only available to experts like him. Ordinary people would be safer if they ran out and found a place without buildings or inside a bridge hole to hide - provided that they were not bombed before they found it.

"I don't know how Ayong and the others are doing. I hope they are okay. Sigh..."

Looking at the war scene in "Hu Hai", Chen Qing sighed. He had no time to care about other people now.

After sighing, he turned and walked from the edge of the roof to the entrance of the stairs - he did not go down because he still had to pay attention to the shells falling above his head.

For him and the Chen family in the house, what they actually need to be careful about is whether Ryuying's shells will fall on their heads.

Otherwise, they are in Sanlin District, which is a relatively central area in the entire East City and even in the "Huhai". No matter where Liuying lands, it will take a lot of time to get here.

And even if they really fought here, with Chen Qing's strength, those ordinary Ryuying soldiers would not be able to cause any harm to him, and it would be easy for him to protect the Chen family.

However, he certainly wouldn't just sit there and wait for death.

Now that the war has really broken out, he will rearrange the Chen family after surviving this wave of bombing.

It was when Chen Qing was guarding the roof of Lin Manli's house, always paying attention to whether any shells would fall on his head.

Deep in the East China Sea.

One after another, the giant Ryuying warships began to sail towards the direction of "Hu Hai", and finally merged with the Ryuying warship ten nautical miles away from "Hu Hai", and together they pressed towards the "Hu Hai" army!
Built on the watchtower of Chongyue Island.

The Central State's official non-commissioned officers and soldiers who saw this scene through telescopes couldn't help but feel despair.

However, despite their despair, they still telegraphed the news to the "Hu Hai" military as soon as possible.

The "Hu Hai" military suddenly realized that Liuying seemed to have launched not just a battle, but a full-scale war!

Therefore, without any hesitation, the "Hu Hai" military immediately contacted the Jincheng military and other troops from the Southern Military Region on standby, requesting reinforcements.

As a result, all the legions in the southern part of the Central Kingdom sent reinforcements to "Hu Hai".

It’s a pity that distant water cannot put out a nearby fire.

When the Ryuying fleet came to within several kilometers of the "Huhai", they stopped moving forward and instead launched a series of boats carrying fully armed Ryuying soldiers towards the shore of the "Huhai", preparing to land!
The distance of several kilometers was not far. In a short while, the boats carrying the Ryuying soldiers had traveled halfway.

Seeing the boats coming and thousands of fully armed Ryusakura soldiers getting closer and closer, it was only a matter of time before they reached the shore.

suddenly!

call!call!call!
Gusts of strong sea breeze blew from nowhere, slowing down the boat's progress.

Not only that, these strong sea breezes not only blew past, but also blew back and forth!

After blowing continuously for a while, there was a faint tendency for a tornado to form on the sea surface several kilometers away from "Hu Hai"!
This situation was beyond the expectations of Liuying's side!

at the same time.

Dongcheng, Gangqiao District, Gangqiao Wharf.

Because of the recent war, the big businessmen who had heard the news long ago had already stopped their ships, put aside their businesses, and were watching quietly.

This resulted in no loading and unloading work at the port bridge terminal in the past few days, and no porters came here to work.

In addition, the Axe Gang's leader, Wang Chen, was killed a few days ago, and all the Axe Gang members have been busy with the funeral. This has resulted in the absence of Axe Gang members at the dock these days.

The entire port bridge terminal, as well as all the import and export gates separated by iron nets, have been locked for three or four days!
But at this time, the dock had been locked for three or four days.

On a pile of cargo by the sea.

But there was a figure standing there.

I saw a figure wearing a gray robe and with long pale hair that was scattered vertically. On his withered face, his equally pale eyebrows and beard were hanging down and flying. His pair of indifferent eyes were staring at the Ryuying warships that were looming on the sea ahead.

In front of him, the waves were surging on the coast, and gusts of wind suddenly arose and blew towards the other side of the sea.

Suddenly, the figure seemed to sense something and turned to look in a certain direction.

In this direction, a tall, blond, blue-eyed, fair-skinned young man from Western Land was walking towards this side with a smile on his face.

"Finally, you have shown up."

The blond and blue-eyed young man from Western Land raised his head to look at the old man standing on the pile of goods and said with a smile, "Juechen."

The old man called "Juechen" looked at the blond and blue-eyed young man from Xilu with a pair of indifferent eyes and said, "Isn't this the result you want? Use the life of my apprentice and the lives of millions of people in Huhai to force me to show up."

The blond and blue-eyed young man from Western Land smiled slightly upon hearing this, but did not continue the topic. Instead, he asked, "How is the effect of your retreat?"

"Didn't you see it?"

Juechen replied indifferently: "It is not so easy to break through the legendary realm."

"You're going the wrong way."

The blond and blue-eyed young man from Western Land shook his head slightly and said, "That legendary realm requires the power of all people. You are arrogant and self-admiring, and you isolate yourself from the world. It is normal that you cannot break through."

However, just as he finished speaking, Juechen suddenly said: "Although I haven't broken through the legendary realm, it's not completely without gain."

"Oh?"

The blond and blue-eyed young man from Xilu raised his eyebrows and narrowed his eyes slightly, "What did you gain?"

Juechen did not answer, but looked at him indifferently and said, "You are in charge of all this, not just to force me to show up, right? Tell me your purpose, and I will tell you what I gained."

The blond and blue-eyed young man from Western Land was silent for a moment after hearing this, then he smiled and said, "I am not the one who is in charge of all this. I just participated in it. The ones who are really in charge of all this are other people. As for my purpose, didn't I tell you a long time ago?"

"All I want is someone who is like me, someone who can walk with me. Unfortunately, there is still no one..."

When he said the latter part, a look of regret appeared on his face.

"is it?"

However, after hearing this, Juechen chuckled: "But why do I feel that you don't want such a person, but are afraid of such a person appearing? Otherwise, why didn't you kill Cang Lichuan's granddaughter, but instead kept prolonging the life of that little girl?"

"Cang Lichuan's comprehension and talent are both higher than mine. I even suspect that he has already reached that legendary realm. As long as you give him a little 'stimulation', he may very well become the person you dream of working with. Or..."

"You do not dare?"
