The people in the room were taken aback for a moment upon hearing this, but then they understood and didn't take it seriously.
Although the news came somewhat suddenly, Xu Zhengyang was no ordinary person, so naturally no one paid much attention to asking any questions.
Chen Chaojiang turned and walked to the door of the study, standing quietly at the entrance.
Since Xu Zhengyang had given the order, Chen Chaojiang had to stay here until Xu Zhengyang returned before he could leave.
This is Chen Chaojiang.
...
If the incident occurred within the country, in any area under the jurisdiction of the City God's Office, Xu Zhengyang could instantly travel with his divine sense to the scene.
But the plane flew to Rubaya!
Furthermore, Rubaya is not within the jurisdiction of the Eastern Azure Heaven Court. It belongs to the jurisdiction of the Southeast Yang Heaven Court.
Of course, Xu Zhengyang could grant Li Haidong the authority to lead a few ghost messengers to Rubaya quickly to resolve the matter. However, Li Haidong and his group wouldn't be fast enough. Besides, with his younger sister Xu Rouyue in trouble, could Xu Zhengyang trust anyone else to rescue her?
High in the sky, Xu Zhengyang raised his divine power to an unprecedented speed. If it weren't for the divine power penetrating through his body to protect his clothes, they would probably have turned to ashes due to the rapid friction with the air.
During the rapid flight, Xu Zhengyang used the Nine Provinces Record to determine the flight direction and also instructed the Nine Provinces Record to immediately compile a detailed map of the country of Rubaya from its backup world map. Then, before flying out of the territory under the jurisdiction of the Eastern Heavenly Court, Xu Zhengyang took Li Haidong, Su Peng, Wang Yonggan, and five other ghost messengers into the State God's Palace in the Nine Provinces Record.
Let alone the fact that Xu Zhengyang is currently the only deity in the Three Realms, even now there are still countless gods and Buddhas, each with their own territory. When his sister was in trouble, Xu Zhengyang, this provincial god, dared to defy the heavenly laws and regulations, unafraid of the pressure from the territorial jurisdictions of other heavenly deities and officials, and led his troops to charge in!
Therefore, the Nine Provinces Chronicles wisely refrained from offering any unnecessary reminders.
In truth, Xu Zhengyang's flight speed was far from that of an airplane. Physical flight, after all, could not be as rapid as teleporting through the Nine Provinces Record using divine sense within one's own territory. Moreover, rapid flight, especially long-distance flight, consumed a great deal of divine power.
Fortunately, Xu Zhengyang has accumulated a great deal of divine power, enough for him to use lavishly.
After flying at high speed for six hours, Xu Zhengyang arrived over the border of Rubaya.
It was dusk, and Xu Zhengyang chose a relatively secluded mountainous area near the sea to quickly and vertically land. This was to avoid being discovered; good heavens, a person flying in the sky—it would be incredibly strange if someone saw it.
Even with Xu Zhengyang's utmost caution, it was inevitable that he would be discovered.
After military radar along the Rubaya border detected an unidentified flying object in the sky, it was immediately reported, and emergency preparedness was quickly activated. The radar below locked onto the target, and air defense weapons were engaged, ready to shoot down the unidentified flying object at any moment. Meanwhile, before Xu Zhengyang could descend rapidly, two fighter jets had already taken off…
In fact, Xu Zhengyang had been detected by military radars of several countries along the way, and fighter jets were following behind him.
However, because Xu Zhengyang's physical body was flying at high speed and protected by powerful divine power, it was impossible to clearly determine his appearance through radar or satellite monitoring; even fighter jets flying at the same speed could not clearly see what he was.
Otherwise, who knows how huge a sensation this birdman incident would have caused in the world.
Although the fighter jets followed closely along the way, they were not allowed to fire unless ordered from below to do so if no danger was detected.
It was just warnings, expulsions, and tailing.
Xu Zhengyang had no interest in these things; he only cared about flying in a straight line as fast as possible.
The pilots of the fighter jets following him were also quite surprised and puzzled, and reported to their superiors that the object seemed to be some kind of solid rubbing against the air at high speed. The problem was... this thing was flying horizontally, not falling.
After following the object out of the country's territory, the fighter jet returned to base.
It has been basically determined to be a UFO incident.
Although this incident did not cause a global sensation, it attracted great attention from security agencies and military departments in various countries and was classified as a top secret.
Upon discovering that the object had entered their territory and fallen at high speed into the mountains, the Rubaya border authorities immediately dispatched troops to the scene.
At this moment, Xu Zhengyang didn't care at all about the panic and tension he had caused in the countries along the route.
He stood on a hillside covered with bare rocks, took out his phone, and dialed Li Ruiqing's number:
"I've arrived in Rubaya now. Has the plane landed yet?"
On the other end of the phone, Li Ruiqing was stunned, finding it hard to believe. How could Xu Zhengyang have arrived in Rubaya in just a few hours? However, Li Ruiqing didn't dwell on it and quickly said, "The plane landed at Karulga Airport, an important border city in Rubaya, two hours ago. Local police special forces have arrived at the scene and are negotiating with the terrorists. Members of our embassy have also rushed to the scene..."
"knew."
Xu Zhengyang hung up the line, then used the Nine Provinces Record to find out his current location and the direction of Karulga. He immediately leaped into the air at an extremely fast speed and flew swiftly towards Karulga.
He secretly hoped that the terrorists would not kill the hostages.
The troops, who had been urgently heading to the mountains, suddenly received a notification from their superiors halfway there that an unidentified flying object had taken off again. They were ordered to send only a small detachment to conduct reconnaissance and investigation, while the rest of the troops returned by the same route.
The fighter jets, which had already returned to base, had to turn around again and continue tracking the unidentified flying object.
Karulga, the most bustling metropolis on the Ruba border.
At this moment, on runway number two at Karulga International Airport, dozens of police cars surrounded a huge aircraft, with heavily armed military and police on high alert, ready to launch a strong attack at any time.
The airport has been placed on the highest alert level.
Suddenly, the airport received an alarm and instructions from higher authorities that an unidentified flying object had entered the airspace above the airport.
Airport officials, police officers, and the on-site rescue commander were all taken aback. Could it be that the terrorists had backup support?
The unidentified flying object flew rapidly over the airport and crashed over a forest two kilometers away.
The local military's intelligence department immediately dispatched several squads to the scene, with fighter jets flying high in the sky, detecting and locking onto the target.
Then, after the target crashed into the woods, it disappeared from the radar screen.
The reason is simple: when Xu Zhengyang entered the forest and landed on the ground, the divine power surrounding his body withdrew. Without this powerful and special energy wave surrounding him, he was just an ordinary person, and the radar naturally could not detect him.
Xu Zhengyang ran rapidly through the woods towards the airport, releasing Li Haidong, Su Peng, and the other ghost messengers, ordering them to quickly fly to the hijacked plane and take control of the terrorists.
At that very moment, near the hijacked plane at the airport, embassy officials who had arrived received a call from high-ranking officials in China. After inquiring about the current situation, they said: "Prepare to comfort our rescued citizens."
The embassy officials were stunned. What kind of talk was that?
Negotiations with the terrorists have reached a stalemate. The head of the local police's special operations team is negotiating with us, and if that doesn't work, either you agree to the terrorists' demands, or we will launch a full-scale assault... As for the hostages, we cannot guarantee their 100% safety.
What lies hidden behind the success in Chapter 342 of Volume Six, "The State God"?
The airport is now completely sealed off. Police lights are flashing, and heavily armed military and police are on high alert.
Xu Zhengyang paused briefly after running to the edge of the airport's perimeter fence, listening to Su Peng and Wang Yonggan's report that they had reached the cabin and discovered the terrorists. Xu Zhengyang frowned slightly, then leaped into the air, his divine power surging forth, instantly enveloping his entire body and forming a golden-red fireball, trailing a long, luminous tail, as it rapidly charged towards the massive passenger plane surrounded and guarded by police cars and military personnel.
Before anyone at the airport could react, they were all astonished at what it was.
A golden-red fireball crashed into the passenger plane's cabin door like a meteor.
Just as it was about to collide with the cabin door, the door suddenly opened... The fireball swiftly entered the cabin, and then the door slammed shut again.
Inside the cabin, the terror had subsided, leaving only the hostages comforting each other in sorrow, or weeping softly and praying for God's protection, along with the armed terrorists. Suddenly, one of the terrorists who had been guarding the cabin door yanked it open and then quickly slammed it shut.
A dazzling fireball entered the cabin, then vanished in a flash.
Wearing a black suit, with yellow skin and black eyes, Xu Zhengyang, whose face was slightly pale, appeared out of thin air and stood imposingly in the cabin.
Exclamations rang out almost simultaneously. Both the hijacked passengers and the armed terrorists gaped in astonishment... Where did this person come from?
...
Outside the passenger plane, police officials were urgently discussing with embassy officials whether to launch a full-scale assault now.
Because they had all witnessed that bizarre scene, many even wondered if they had imagined it, which was why they saw such a strange thing.
Embassy officials, who were already on the phone with high-ranking officials back home, immediately informed them of what had just happened. The response was to resolutely stop the local counter-terrorism forces from launching a full-scale attack and to prepare to reassure their citizens, who were about to be rescued.
Embassy officials were baffled.
The leader had no choice but to say, "Our special rescue team has arrived."
Special rescue team? What kind of organization is that? I've never heard of it. Besides, even if it were personnel from the special department of our country's counter-terrorism force, it would be impossible for them to arrive in Karulga, Rubaya in such a short time. Even if the Rubaya government had to urgently consult with and agree to send troops, it would still take an extremely long time.
And... no one came.
Despite their doubts, the embassy officials had to obey orders from their superiors. They immediately and firmly refused the police's request to launch a forced rescue operation. For the safety of our citizens, they argued that without absolute certainty, they could not risk harming our citizens by carrying out a rescue.
...
Inside the cabin.
A terrorist abruptly raised his submachine gun, ready to fire at the suddenly appearing figure. However, before he could pull the trigger, he felt a chill on his wrist, and his hand involuntarily loosened its grip on the trigger. He abruptly turned his head. A cold glint flashed before his eyes.
His accomplice, wielding a sharp jungle knife, slashed his wrist before slitting his throat.
Xu Zhengyang shouted, "Control the people who possess the explosives, and don't let them detonate the bombs!"
As soon as the words left his mouth, Xu Zhengyang moved swiftly, lunging at a terrorist who had raised a submachine gun to unleash a barrage of fire. He gripped the barrel with one hand and bent it, a screeching, teeth-grinding sound erupting as the terrorist pulled the trigger. A submachine gun was twisted into a lump of scrap metal.
Xu Zhengyang swung his arm, slamming it into the other man's chest. He then followed the terrorist who was flying backward, crashing heavily into another man who was already firing a gun.
Thump thump thump...
Amid the gunfire, the sounds of bullets hitting people at close range and the piercing screams of agony rang out simultaneously.
The terrorist who fired the shot was slammed against the rear hatch by the corpse of his comrade, his bones shattered and broken.
No more gunshots were heard.
Furious shouts and curses, as well as cries of pain and groans, echoed from each cabin, with the occasional sporadic gunshot.
Inside the cockpit, the captain and co-pilot watched in horror as a bloody conflict suddenly erupted between the three terrorists. One terrorist plunged a knife into his accomplice's chest; the other, still in shock and unable to react, had the knife pulled out and plunged into his shoulder. The man who had been stabbed in the chest raised his pistol and fired a shot at his accomplice, too weak to fire a second. The man who had been shot seemed completely unaffected by the gunshot wound. He desperately pinned the other man to the ground, repeatedly stabbing him downwards with his knife… until the accomplice could no longer move, he plunged the knife into his own heart.
A bizarre infighting and bloody battle broke out among more than twenty terrorists.
Knives are the primary weapon, pistols are secondary...
"Brother!" Xu Rouyue finally snapped out of her shock, crying as she unbuckled her seatbelt and stood up, calling out to him.
As soon as Xu Zhengyang entered the cabin, he quickly located his sister. Finding her unharmed, he calmed down a little, and his violent anger subsided somewhat.
Having eliminated the terrorist threat, Xu Zhengyang listened to his sister's sobbing cries. His ruthless and cold expression vanished instantly, replaced by a smile. He turned around, walked over with a grin, spread his arms, and called out casually, "Little girl, were you scared?"
Xu Rouyue squeezed past the surprised guests on the side, threw herself into her brother's arms, and began to sob.
Bang... Crash!
Boom! Thump!
The counter-terrorism special police finally received orders from their superiors to launch a full-scale assault. They blew up the cabin doors, smashed the aircraft windows, and rushed into the cabin through various emergency exits.
Flashbangs and tear gas exploded simultaneously in various cabins of the passenger plane.
Heavily armed SWAT officers, wearing gas masks, stormed into the smoke-filled cabin to search for and eliminate the terrorists. Shouts and yells echoed from behind their masks, filling the cabin. However, to their astonishment, they found bodies everywhere, covered in blood; all the identified targets lay dead in pools of blood.
One by one, passengers, their faces streaked with tears and filled with terror, rushed out of the cabin door under the escort of special police.
Xu Zhengyang, supporting his younger sister, hurried down the steps, inwardly cursing, "Damn it, why throw flashbangs and tear gas? Even I, an official, can't stand it and am in tears..."
"Girl, are you alright?" Xu Zhengyang asked tenderly.
"It's okay." Xu Rouyue cried her heart out, but beneath her tears was a deep, happy smile.
