Under One Person: The Great Celestial Venerable of All Worlds

Chapter 11 Armored Gunman

Upon hearing Xu San's statement, Zhang Chulan narrowed his eyes. He turned to look at Xia He behind him and also noticed something amiss. If everyone present was "the same kind," then what about her?

"Senior, can you explain this?"

"Hehe~"

Seeing her identity exposed, Xia He smiled, dropping her feigned fear, and curled a strand of hair on her cheek with her fingers: "He's right, I am indeed from Quanxing, but I didn't come for your grandfather's things. The reason I asked you out..."

She raised her hand and gently stroked Zhang Chulan's chest.

"Just for you~"

"Be careful!"

Seeing that something was wrong, Xu San shouted a warning, but before he could finish speaking, a hidden energy had already flowed from Xia He's palm into Zhang Chulan's body.

"Protect me~ then come with me~ junior~"

"Huh?!"

Zhang Chulan's body trembled, his eyes instantly became unfocused, and his head drooped...

"..."

He slowly turned around, and golden light rose up.

"Oh no..."

Seeing this, Xu San felt a chill run down his spine, knowing he was no match for Zhang Chulan.

"Should we run away first?"

He began to practice Qi circulation.

But at that moment, the golden light surrounding Zhang Chulan suddenly shifted, binding Xia He's body, and he uttered softly, "I see, I think I understand now..."

"What?!"

Xia He was startled.

Upon realizing the problem, Zhang Chulan activated his Qi Pill, and the strange power he had used during his previous battle with Feng Baobao reappeared, directly consuming Xia He's Qi.

"Senior, and the one over there... you come from different factions, but you both want my grandfather's 'treasure.' I don't know what it is, but I imagine it must be something extraordinary..."

He suddenly looked up, his face contorted with anger.

"But please get this straight first. Besides the kung fu I learned from my grandfather, I haven't gotten anything else. I'm an orphan, who would hide treasures here with me?"

"If such a thing really exists, it could only be in the hands of my irresponsible father. Instead of wasting your time here, you should go find him and let me know when you do..."

"To be honest, I'm also curious to know where that bastard is!"

Swah——

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Chulan waved his hand and threw Xia He away. Then he waved his hand and said, "Alright, if you understand, get lost. Don't come and ruin my mood."

He hasn't truly entered the world of supernatural beings yet, nor does he know his grandfather's background. He's a student who worked hard to get into a top-tier university like Nankai University, hoping to change his fate...

All he wants to do now is study.

"this……"

Watching Zhang Chulan's departing figure, Xu San adjusted his glasses. As the company's regional manager, he had a responsibility to educate Zhang Chulan about the existence of superhumans and to restrain his behavior, but right now...

Forget it, let's find another time.

Meanwhile, Xia He's lips curled into a playful smile. Her mission was over; the rest...

"It's all up to you~"

Before Xu San could react, Xia He retreated into the shadows and quietly left.

Xu San knew this woman was difficult to deal with, so he didn't chase after her. Looking at his subordinates lying on the ground, he quickly picked up his phone to contact them.

However, as he finished making the call and waited for backup, he suddenly swayed and felt dizzy.

He thought it was just exhaustion, so he shook his head, but then the world spun before his eyes, and his consciousness instantly blurred...

thump!

He flipped his eyelids.

Sinking into darkness.

……

……

After a while.

"Grandpa, you lied to me! What happened to the promised change of luck?"

"Is this bad luck never going to end?"

Zhang Chulan walked towards the internet cafe next to the school with his hands in his pockets, his face full of resentment.

"And what exactly did you hide that made people dig up your grave to find it? You didn't even tell me, leaving me constantly bothered and not knowing what to do... Sigh!"

He sighed.

After carefully recalling everything from the past, Zhang Chulan was certain that he had not received anything from his grandfather, nor was it any skill passed down from him, otherwise these two people would have reacted.

It's not kung fu...

Is that some kind of object?

Thinking of his father's disappearance, he became even more certain that the thing was in that bastard's hands.

"Um?"

Just as Zhang Chulan was cursing his dead father in his heart, his ears suddenly twitched, and he noticed the movement behind him—someone was following him!

"Again!"

He immediately quickened his pace, and in a few flashes he turned into a side alley. Golden light rose around him, and he increased his speed to the extreme as he moved through the dark alley.

Using his familiarity with the terrain, Zhang Chulan quickly rushed out from another alleyway, turned around and listened carefully, but there was no further movement around him.

"I've shaken them off!"

But just as he was about to walk forward, he saw a figure standing in front of him. The figure was tall, wearing an ancient helmet and mask, and ancient armor. He was holding a golden spear with a curved barb sticking out from the blade.

"Who is it? Cosplaying?"

Sensing the pressure emanating from the other party, Zhang Chulan immediately became wary, knowing that the newcomer meant no harm: "And where are you from? That organization that manages superhumans? Or something like the Quanxing?"

"..."

The other party did not reply.

The next moment, he pointed the spearhead forward, made a throwing motion, and threw it forcefully with his arm...

call out--

The sharp spear transformed into a meteor, striking with lightning speed, aiming straight for his chest!

"?!"

Zhang Chulan's eyes widened, and golden light instantly rose around his body, followed by a surge of lightning. He dodged the attack with all his might.

Before he could catch his breath, the other party's hand suddenly hooked, and the long spear that had been thrown out returned in an instant, its sharp barb aimed at his arm.

"Damn it!"

At the critical moment, Zhang Chulan gritted his teeth and activated the Qi Pill again. This was the third time he had activated it today. He hadn't felt anything before, but now he felt as if his body was being drained.

"This thing has side effects?!"

But with life and death at stake, he couldn't care less about anything else. Lightning surged around him, forcefully dragging his body to the left, dodging the attack once again.

Bang!

The sneak attack failed, and the spear was shot back into the opponent's hand, where it was caught steadily. The eyes behind the mask were as deep as an abyss, staring intently at Zhang Chulan.

Without any further words, he raised his hand again, ready to throw the spear once more...

"Don't go too far!"

With a flash of lightning, Zhang Chulan appeared beside him and unleashed a "Palm Lightning"!

boom--

"What?!"

When the lightning dissipated, the opponent's body was completely unharmed; his armor was like an impenetrable wall, blocking the powerful attack.

To his astonishment, the other man turned around, his gaze icy and devoid of any emotion, and swept his spear horizontally toward his waist.

wow——

At the critical moment, Zhang Chulan activated his "Eat Qi" ability again. He raised his hand, grabbed the shaft of the opponent's spear, and squeezed it hard, causing the spear to instantly dissipate.

boom!

Then he punched his opponent in the chest, and the armor on his chest dissipated. But before he could press his advantage, his opponent was forced to retreat...

Swah——

They retreated to a distance of over 100 meters.
