Chapter 502 Nuclear Deterrence

"Put down the captain, and I'll let you live!"

The utterly cold voice sent a chill down the spine of everyone who heard it.

An ordinary person, faced with such a situation, would likely surrender.

But Zhang Fan paid no attention.

"Say one more word, and I'll break one of his legs!" Zhang Fan said casually, holding the flat-haired youth.

"How dare you..." the leading special forces team member said with a glare, but before he could finish, he heard the crisp sound of bone breaking.

"Crack!"

Hearing this, everyone's hearts leaped, and they looked up in disbelief.

Zhang Fan's movements were so fast that no one saw how he attacked, only to see that one of the flat-haired youth's legs was already crippled.

"Presumptuous..."

The leader of the special forces team couldn't believe it and involuntarily spoke again.

However, the moment he said it, he regretted it.

"Crack."

He opened his mouth, and then dared not speak again.

The flat-haired youth struggled in Zhang Fan's hands, filled with despair and helplessness.

The onlookers gasped, shocked by Zhang Fan's decisive actions.

Behind Zhang Fan, Xu Youran and the others remained relatively calm.

Qi Wenxuan's young girlfriend even covered her mouth tightly, afraid she would make a sound.

"Finally, it's quiet." With no one speaking and the scene falling silent, Zhang Fan picked up his phone and continued his call.

"How do you think this should be resolved?"

"If no one comes to resolve it within half an hour, then I'll have to take matters into my own hands," Zhang Fan said with a hint of amusement.

"You absolutely must not act. Leave it to me," Liu Chuqing said quickly on the other end of the phone.

At the Dark Group base, after hanging up Zhang Fan's call, a trace of helplessness appeared on Liu Chuqing's beautiful and exquisite face. The Qi family had finally chosen to act against Zhang Fan.

This was the outcome she least wished to see. However, she had already warned the Qi family, and it could be considered that she had done her utmost.

Now that the Qi family had made a move, she had promised not to interfere, but she also did not dare to let Zhang Fan act recklessly.

"Order the Black Panther squadron to prepare for action..."

...

At this moment, the scene was incredibly quiet, with only Zhang Fan's voice on the phone.

Naturally, everyone could hear the content of his conversation clearly.

"Calling for backup?"

Many people were confused.

Even Li Yuan frowned upon hearing the content of Zhang Fan's call.

In terms of connections, the Qi family's influence in the military was deeply rooted. Even an old general from the founding of the nation came from the Qi family. Although he had retired, his influence was still immense.

In this situation, as Zhang Fan remained silent, no one dared to speak, and they watched quietly.

The flat-haired youth, held in Zhang Fan's hand, was filled with anger.

Despite his life being in Zhang Fan's hands, he did not show much fear.

He knew Zhang Fan's background: the chief instructor of the Dark Group, a Grandmaster of Xiantian realm.

His background was indeed significant, but he also knew that the chief instructor of the Dark Group only taught members who had not yet reached the Xiantian realm and newcomers. His status was not much higher than other Xiantian Grandmasters.

They, the Flying Tiger Squadron, did not take a mere Xiantian Grandmaster seriously.

Therefore, after being captured by Zhang Fan, the members of the Flying Tiger Squadron immediately sent out a signal for reinforcements.

Only a small squadron of the Flying Tiger Squadron, with only fifty members, had come this time.

The entire Flying Tiger Squadron had nearly twenty squadrons, with nearly a thousand members.

Indeed, Zhang Fan was invited to be the chief instructor of the Dark Group, with the intention of teaching members who had not yet entered the Xiantian realm.

However, given Zhang Fan's experience and profound knowledge, he was more than capable of teaching even Tian Yi, who had entered the Sacred Realm.

Furthermore, Zhang Fan's identity as a master alchemist, who had refined a large number of high-grade spirit pills for the Dark Group, made them value him immensely.

Moreover, Zhang Fan had now displayed the strength of the peak Divine Realm, having killed several Divine Realm experts, which also made the country pay close attention to him.

In ancient times, Divine Realm experts were figures of national importance, capable of influencing the course of a war and suppressing the destiny of a nation.

With the development of technology and the deterrence of nuclear weapons, the role of Divine Realm experts in warfare had been greatly weakened. After all, even a Divine Realm expert could not withstand the power of a nuclear bomb.

A single nuclear bomb of ten million tons could flatten a city with a population of over a million.

Zhang Fan estimated that it was comparable to the full power of a Golden Core Earth Immortal's strike.

Even though Zhang Fan had cultivated the Myriad Prisons God-Suppression Body, he was still a long way from true minor accomplishment. Moreover, his cultivation was too weak; he had not even reached the Heavenly Human realm, so he naturally could not withstand it.

This was also why the whereabouts of many Divine Realm experts were hard to find. If it weren't for the appearance of the Half-Moon Immortal's cave dwelling last time, perhaps Kunlun and the Divine Realm experts like Elder Changsheng would not have emerged so easily.

However, even so, each Divine Realm expert was enough to attract the attention of the country.

After all, although Divine Realm experts could not withstand nuclear bombings, as long as they hid in a densely populated city, the state apparatus would be helpless.

Who would dare to drop a nuclear bomb on a city, defying the will of the world?

Therefore, as long as one's strength reached the Divine Realm, and they did not act too outrageously, the state apparatus would choose to handle the matter with a minimizing approach.

For someone like Zhang Fan, whose strength had reached the peak of the Divine Realm, the country's primary strategy would be to win him over.

Granting him the rank of Major General was a gesture of goodwill towards Zhang Fan.

Zhang Fan naturally had no fear of the state apparatus, but ultimately, he still had many family members living here, so he would not easily confront them.

This was why he had notified Liu Chuqing this time and had not acted directly.

Otherwise, given Zhang Fan's personality, why would he waste so much time talking to them?
