Chapter 76 One Peck, One Drink
"Bang!"
Su Fan sensed the activation of the [Warning] ability of the [Protective Jade Talisman], and the talisman became scorching hot.
When Su Fan opened his eyes again, he was already at home. Su Fan didn't understand where the danger came from.
"Heavenly Dao, what's going on? Show me the situation at the True Martial Hall!" Su Fan, who had survived the ordeal, asked.
Fortunately, he had given Heavenly Dao an order beforehand: once the [Warning] ability of the [Protective Jade Talisman] was activated, it would instantly transport him to a safe area.
But Su Fan didn't understand who would cause him trouble.
At this moment, a miniature version of the True Martial Hall appeared in front of Su Fan, and in the scene, someone was attacking the earth scorpion and wooden sheep that Su Fan had created with a gun.
Unfortunately, the bullets that hit these artificial monsters instantly regenerated.
"The jade talisman warned you earlier because if you hadn't moved, you would have been hit by a gun! But it wasn't someone specifically targeting you; rather, it was someone attacking a scorpion, and the bullet passed through the scorpion's body, causing you to be hit by friendly fire!" Tiandao explained.
Su Fan felt wronged; this was what it meant to suffer an undeserved disaster.
"That can't be right! Firearms are banned in China, so how come these people have guns? Also, there are so many tourists at the Zhenwu Hall, how dare they use guns?" Su Fan was very confused.
"I read their memories and found that they have some connection with you," Tiandao said, while controlling his phone to fly in front of Su Fan. The phone displayed a report.
After reading the report, Su Fan's face darkened. Every action, every word, had its reason! This was also closely related to Su Fan.
It turns out that after Su Fan caused trouble in Japan, all countries began to pay attention to their own myths and legends, including China.
The Zhenwu faith does have considerable influence in China, so the Bureau of Foreign Affairs sent people to investigate.
It just so happens that Su Fan is causing trouble, and for the sake of the people, it is natural to attack these suddenly appearing monsters that cannot be communicated with!
Su Fan was indeed accidentally shot. Even if he hadn't escaped, he would have at most been shot in the shoulder, and his life wouldn't have been in danger. Of course, in that case, it would be difficult for Su Fan to explain why he was at Zhenwu Peak, and why gunshot wounds couldn't be treated by civilians in China, forcing him to create a magical artifact to heal himself.
Chen Yang was investigating Zhenwu Peak as the leader of the Bureau of Extraordinary Affairs' action team. Su Fan only noticed Chen Yang and did not notice that there were also plainclothes members of the Bureau of Extraordinary Affairs in the crowd.
Su Fan was somewhat amused and annoyed. It seemed his luck wasn't very good. The ability of the [Gourd Porcelain Pillow], [Hidden Dragon's Fortune], was simply a scam.
Su Fan had once utterly defeated the United States Army, the strongest force in human civilization, yet he almost found himself in danger due to an accidental discharge of firearms. What's even more absurd is that all of this could be said to be caused by Su Fan himself.
In the dynamic phantom of Zhenwu Peak in front of Su Fan, personnel from the Bureau of Alien Affairs were continuously attacking the monsters Su Fan had created, armed with guns.
It can only be said that with them there, most tourists were able to leave in an orderly and slow manner.
These people from the Bureau of Disorder all possessed the strength of a second-level martial artist and had firearms at their disposal, yet they were still at a disadvantage, fighting and retreating.
It was only because Su Fan was kind-hearted that these people were in danger if the Heavenly Dao had truly erupted.
Su Fan was annoyed that the script had been disrupted. It was originally just a simple script, and he only intended to torture Chen Yang at most, but now it had turned into this mess.
It's hard to blame anyone for this. In fact, if it had been an ordinary tourist instead of Su Fan who was accidentally injured, given the government's attitude, he probably wouldn't have had to worry about medical treatment and would have received several hundred thousand yuan in compensation.
Looking at the situation at Zhenwu Peak, Su Fan had a sudden inspiration: the government was involved too, so the script needed to be changed a bit.
"Chen Yang is lucky. Consider this my way of fulfilling his protagonist dream. As for the Heavenly Dao, after they kill the monsters with their internal energy martial arts, you shouldn't control them anymore. After being attacked by guns, just continue to regenerate on your own," Su Fan said. Anyway, Su Fan's goal was to forcefully twist human civilization towards a transcendent civilization.
This is meant to educate people once again that technology is useless against the extraordinary, and only the extraordinary can fight against the extraordinary.
Chen Yang is so strong; his fourth-level martial arts skill is enough for him to make a name for himself.
"Okay!" Heavenly Dao replied.
……
Zhenwu City, Zhenwu Peak, Zhenwu Temple.
Chen Yang was almost numb from staring at the suddenly appearing monster. This mission was supposed to be easy, a simple trip to earn some money. Ideally, the True Martial Emperor would resurrect and he'd be favored by him, receiving a great opportunity!
What bad luck! The Zhenwu Hall hadn't had any strange occurrences for years, but he just happened to run into one when he arrived.
And why are these monsters so fierce? They can even heal themselves after being shot with guns.
Zhenwu Peak is the Daoist temple of the Zhenwu Emperor. How dare monsters cause trouble here? The Zhenwu Emperor's main duty is to vanquish demons. This is truly daring to offend the powerful.
But why doesn't Zhenwu the Great defeat these little Karami? It can't be because Zhenwu hasn't fully recovered yet, can it?
It is truly a case of "when heroes are absent, even scoundrels rise to fame," and the mythology has not fully returned, causing these monsters, who seem to be mere cannon fodder, to run rampant.
The protagonist's path is truly fraught with difficulties! Moreover, Chen Yang discovered that these monsters seemed to be quite hostile towards him, and there were more monsters heading towards him than elsewhere.
I don't have any special aura to be mocked, and I'm not some Tang Monk's flesh, so what's going on here!
Fortunately, Chen Yang is quite strong. He is a fourth-level martial arts master and the number one martial artist in the world today. His martial arts skills are also quite proficient!
He was able to utilize movement-based martial arts techniques like the Dragon Soaring Nine Heavens Step, dodging left and right and moving around safely.
Chen Yang had no doubt that if anyone else were under this much pressure, they would have been finished long ago.
Although Chen Yang was in a sorry state, he was fortunate enough to have time to observe and discovered that although the group of monsters came with great force, there had been no casualties so far.
However, if they don't come up with a solution soon, their environment will likely become quite dangerous. The reason is simple: these monsters are immortal, and bullets can inflict damage on them and then heal instantly.
Chen Yang was so annoyed that his head was spinning, and he really didn't have any solutions. Chen Yang's idea was either to stall for time and wait for reinforcements, or for the True Martial Emperor to suddenly appear and defeat these monsters.
But none of this was reliable. The Bureau of Surveillance was running out of ammunition and supplies. After all, it was just a routine mission, and they were carrying guns because of regulations. Who would have thought they would encounter such bad luck?
Chen Yang seriously doubted whether they could even wait for reinforcements to arrive. As for pinning their hopes on Zhenwu, that would be tantamount to waiting for death.
The members of the Bureau of Abnormal Affairs fought and retreated, finally reaching a staircase. The staircase was narrow, and no matter how many monsters there were, they could not pass through together.
Looking at the hordes of monsters and tourists, Chen Yang had an idea: he would simply take advantage of the terrain and fight the monsters head-on.
Who told him to be the protagonist and savior, destined to protect the world! It's just a little regrettable that my own journey as the protagonist has only just begun!
He himself was born with the legacy of Ya Zi, and was supposed to suppress the geniuses of his generation in the golden age of future mythological revival, so that no one of his peers in the world dared to be presumptuous!
It's a pity, after all, even Chen Yang was somewhat intimidated when facing hundreds of immortal monsters.
If I were to leave like this, surely the government would bestow upon me the title of a national hero, and my parents would receive excellent treatment from the government.
Chen Yang couldn't help but think of many things, his parents, relatives, and friends, and finally, his blood boiled.
"I will dedicate my life to the country, and now is the time to do so."
"I wish to dedicate this life to serving my country; let us see who in the world can rival me!"
Chen Yang shouted loudly and blocked the stairwell without hesitation. He slowly assumed the stance of the Vajra Fist. Although he was alone, he seemed as solid as an iron wall!
"A true man will die if he deserves it!"
"Though there be thousands, I will go!"
"How can we say we have no clothes? We share our robes with you!"
"Chinese sons and daughters, practice martial arts to strengthen your bodies, protect your homes, defend your country, and build a prosperous nation!"
Soon, others were infected by Chen Yang and stood with him.
"Team leader, even though I can't beat you, why should I let you steal the spotlight right now?"
"Exactly! Do you think we're all cowards except you? We can't let you steal the limelight all by yourself!"
"My name is Baoguo! If I can't protect my country when danger comes, my parents will probably be disappointed in me!"
"They're just a bunch of monsters. It's not like I haven't seen them before. I've seen monsters stronger than them in Ultraman too."
Chen Yang felt relaxed as he listened to his colleagues from the Bureau of Foreign Affairs teasing him.
"I'll go first!" Chen Yang said, and then used the Overlord Three Nods from the Great Vajra Fist to throw a punch at the head of the charging earth scorpion!
His punches were fierce and powerful, like those of a war god; with a single punch, he was invincible!
Chen Yang, after all, was a fourth-stage martial artist with formidable strength. The earth scorpion, on the other hand, was constructed of mud and showed no unusual characteristics; its previous display of immortality was merely a manipulation by the Heavenly Dao.
Chen Yang is proficient in four martial arts techniques: the Seven Forms of Breaking the Army, the Wild Bull Strength, the Great Vajra Fist, and the Nine Heavens Soaring Dragon Step. In addition, he has reached the fourth level of martial arts, so he can easily solve the problem.
After waiting for a short while, the earth scorpion did not heal its wounds and attack him again; instead, it seemed as if it were truly dead!
The wooden sheep behind quickly stepped over its companion's corpse and attacked Chen Yang.
Chen Yang didn't have time to think about the reason, so he could only continue to fight!
Suddenly, Chen Yang had a flash of inspiration and felt as if he understood the reason. He exclaimed, "Hahaha! I get it! As long as we kill these monsters with our internal energy, they can't revive!"
Chen Yang's words inspired his colleagues. They had been desperate before because the immortality was truly unbelievable, but now that they could kill it, they no longer needed to be so afraid.
Following Chen Yang's words, the morale of the members of the Bureau of Extraordinary Affairs instantly recovered, and some were even eager to try.
It's like fighting a boss in a game and being unable to break through its defenses or deal any damage no matter what you do; that would make you feel discouraged.
But as long as you can see the health bar, even if it's a god, the fear will disappear once you measure the health bar!
This is the situation now; the monster that we thought was immortal has revealed its health bar!
