Prioritizing urgency, Li Xingkong immediately stood up after hanging up Old Tang's call.
"I'll go check the situation first."
This matter was too urgent for Li Xingkong to care about anything else.
Before Tang Cheng could respond, he immediately pulled open the office window, rushed out, and flew eastward.
As Li Xingkong took off, the Lightning Chaser he had placed at home also transformed into a beam of white light and shot towards Li Xingkong.
The flying sword was indeed faster than Li Xingkong flying on his own. After the two figures of man and sword merged, they became an even faster shadow and headed towards the Cherry Blossom Country.
Prioritizing urgency, aerial regulations were a matter for later. Li Xingkong couldn't care less about controlling his speed at the moment, flying at top speed, creating gusts of wind wherever he went, and even after landing on the ground, the wind was still howling.
He had already reached the maximum speed of the flying sword, and the Divine Land was not far from the Cherry Blossom Country. Li Xingkong arrived on the island of the Cherry Blossom Country in less than a minute.
Although everyone knew that Mount Fuji was about to erupt, the Cherry Blossom Country Island was still peaceful and cheerful. After all, the extent of the volcanic eruption was unknown to ordinary people. Few people even knew that there were nuclear bombs in the mountain. Those who knew had already fled, leaving those who remained completely unaware.
Li Xingkong made a big commotion; so much so that his presence was detected even before he reached the airspace above the island nation.
But even after discovering him, there was nothing they could do. They had no means to stop Li Xingkong, who was flying at such a speed, and could only use the signal broadcast to try to expel Li Xingkong from the country.
However, Li Xingkong only found these people annoying, babbling on and on about some nonsense.
However, this warning wouldn't last long. After all, Li Xingkong was too fast; even traversing the entire Cherry Blossom Country wouldn't take long. This kind of warning was just a tickle to him.
Ignoring the actions of these people, Li Xingkong quickly saw the scene in the distance: the sky and earth were connected by a thick plume of smoke, and half of the sky was shrouded in smoke. Although it was daytime, it looked like nighttime under these conditions.
This must be Mount Fuji.
Li Xingkong had never been here before, so he could only analyze the situation based on the map and the current circumstances.
He first circled the dark cloud once. The cloud, formed by volcanic ash mixed with thick smoke, covered a large area and was still spreading.
After walking around for a while, Li Xingkong surveyed the surrounding environment and began to think about how he could stop the volcano from erupting.
If he were asked to slice off the top of Mount Fuji with a single sword strike, he could do it without any problem. But even if he leveled the entire mountain, it wouldn't do anything to prevent a volcanic eruption.
While pondering the situation, Li Xingkong didn't wait idly. He flew directly on his sword towards the vicinity of Mount Fuji, preparing to observe the current situation up close.
As he flew, the sword wind mercilessly cleaved the dark clouds in two, allowing a ray of sunlight to shine through.
Upon reaching the crater, Li Xingkong could already feel an extremely intense heat emanating from it. Even in Li Xingkong view, the energy within the volcano was enormous. If the volcano were to erupt, the resulting disaster might indeed, as Old Tang had said, affect the entire Divine Land Continent.
After circling around for a while, Li Xingkong couldn't think of a solution. Just as he was circling, a squadron of fighter jets flew towards them.
Although Cherry Blossom Country does not have a sovereign army, it does not mean that they have no armed forces at all. Given their mindset, how could they possibly entrust their lives to others? The intentions of this fighter squadron are self-evident.
For them, volcanoes are natural phenomena that they can't control, but Li Xingkong is different.
They were somewhat displeased that they were allowed to enter so casually, especially since they were in their own airspace and could do whatever they wanted without any consequences.
As for Li Xingkong's unprecedented speed, what does that matter? The pilots didn't see Li Xingkong flying that fast before, and those who did see it were only thinking of trying to hit him first.
What if he's just fast and looks good but isn't actually useful?
The formation quickly arrived around Mount Fuji and locked onto Li Xingkong.
Although the pilot knew before takeoff that his target was a person, he was still somewhat surprised when he personally saw a person flying around the volcano.
Despite their surprise, it didn't stop them from firing a test round.
Without any prior warning or pronouncements, a squadron of fighter jets launched a rapid-fire attack.
Although Li Xingkong's attention was focused on the volcano, with his Divine Sense, how could he not know that these guys were approaching? However, Li Xingkong simply ignored them until they made their move. After all, when you're doing something, if a fly is buzzing in front of your ear, most people won't bother to swat it away first.
After all, you don't know how many more are around.
But when the other party started attacking him, Li Xingkong naturally couldn't tolerate it. Why did you have to bother me when you were yelling?
Li Xingkong turned around and looked in the direction of the fighter jet.
There's no need to use flying swords to deal with this kind of fighter jet; Li Xingkong a much more convenient method.
He simply used his Divine Sense to casually pinch the engine part of the fighter jet a few times, and the entire fighter jet immediately became uncontrollable, circling and crashing towards the ground.
Engines are high-tech products, and their main focus is on high precision. This is fine in itself, but nowadays high technology emphasizes precision and detail, and research is geared towards miniaturization. The biggest problem with these things is that even a slight error can lead to drastically different results.
Even though military technology is more durable, it's not that much worse.
Although Li Xingkong is not yet capable of completely destroying a fighter jet using his Divine Sense, destroying a few small parts with his Divine Sense is not a problem.
From the perspective of the fighter pilots, Li Xingkong only glanced at them before his aircraft went out of control, began to fly erratically, and finally crashed into the desolate mountains.
If they can't even understand their opponent's attack patterns, how are they supposed to deal with it? They simply can't.
The rapid-fire cannons mostly missed Li Xingkong. Even when a few bullets hit Li Xingkong, they had no effect. The bullets seemed to fall away from Li Xingkong's body like compressed copper discs.
It can't even break through the defenses.
