Godslayer: The Progenitor of Symbiotes

Seeing the swordsman approaching, the dwarf ran back with comical steps, frantically striking his wooden fish, yelling, "You guys over there, get him! Kill this audacious bastard!"

Upon hearing the dwarf's shout, the believer who was trying to maintain order immediately drew his sword and walked towards the swordsman...

"My lord, let's go first. The swordsman can handle it." Zhan Fu walked to Chen Shu's side and reached out to Chen Shu.

"???"

Battle Axe frowned and asked, "What's going on?"

His hand seemed to be blocked by an invisible barrier, unable to touch Chen Shu at all, as if... the two of them were not even in the same space.

"This forbidden item is a bit strange, sir, wait a minute." Battle Axe's gaze locked onto the dwarf in the distance, and he shouted, "Brothers! Go help the swordsman!"

The warrior swung his great axe and charged towards the swordsman!

Seeing the situation getting increasingly chaotic, the dwarf's eyes widened in anger. "Quick! You bunch of useless trash, get up here! You can't even beat a few people like this, what are you all good for?!"

The dwarf glanced at Chen Shu, who was still bound, struck the wooden fish in his hand, and turned to run away.

The swordsman caught the dwarf's movement, swung his left arm sharply, and a grappling hook pierced through the crowd, heading precisely towards the dwarf!

The moment the grappling hook touched the dwarf, the three iron hooks dug firmly into the flesh of his right arm!

A sharp pain shot through the dwarf's arm. He glanced at the claws, panic in his eyes, and tried to pry them off...

The swordsman gave a strong tug, and the wooden fish in the dwarf's hand fell to the ground.

Chen Shu felt as if he had been granted a pardon, his body felt lighter, and he regained control of his body.

"I'll give you a million! Let me go!" The dwarf struggled to his feet, his panic replaced by fear.

Chen Shu walked over to the fallen wooden fish, bent down to pick it up, and seemed very interested in it.

"What kind of forbidden object is this? A wooden fish, is it related to Buddhism? Is it related to Buddhist meditation? If it is, that's amazing. It physically freezes the space around me."

The dwarf looked at Chen Shu, his initial arrogance gone, even his fear had vanished, replaced by a fawning expression.

"Please, please, you're so kind, have mercy on me! I... I didn't do anything to offend you, did I?"

Chen Shu's lips curled into a playful smile. "Didn't provoke me? Then how come I remember someone using a move called 'Monkey Stealing Peaches' just now? If I hadn't reacted quickly, I probably would have been childless."

"?" The dwarf paused for a moment, then his expression suddenly changed, and he looked at Chen Shu with a ferocious expression. "If you kill me, you will regret it! ... If you promise not to kill me, I will tell you a secret that will definitely be useful to you!"

"Oh?" Chen Shu raised an eyebrow and looked at the dwarf. "Alright, I won't kill you. Go ahead and tell me."

The dwarf stared at Chen Shu for two seconds, then asked with some disbelief, "You mean what you say?"

Chen Shu nodded affirmatively, "It definitely counts, otherwise I wouldn't be human."

“Alright!” The dwarf nodded emphatically. “Lord Huangsha has captured the girl next to you, saying he wants to use her to activate something in you. I don’t know the specifics, but you can still make it if you go now.”

Upon hearing this, Chen Shu's eyes darkened slightly. "Is what you said true? You're not lying to me?"

"No! Absolutely not! Believe me, this is a plan personally devised by Lord [Huangsha], and it cannot be changed!"

Chen Shu nodded slightly and casually waved his hand, "Kill them."

The dwarf was instantly terrified and shouted angrily, "Chen Shu! You beast! You'll die a horrible death!"

The swordsman nodded, raised his heavy sword, and walked towards the dwarf...

After dealing with the dwarf's followers, Zhanfu and the others approached Chen Shu. "Sir, what do we do now?"

Chen Shu waved his hand casually, "I'll go take a look. You guys go back and find Shenli first, so that other believers won't cause you trouble."

"Okay, sir, please be careful."

After Chen Shu left, Shen Li went downstairs to watch TV.

Beep...beep...beep...

While engrossed in watching the Avengers movie, Shenli suddenly heard a strange noise.

"what sound?"

Shenli paused the movie, looked around the room with a puzzled expression, but found nothing suspicious.

The beeping gradually became more rapid from its initial gentle tone.

Shenli's mind went blank for a moment; he simply couldn't figure out what appliance in the house could make such a sound that resembled a time bomb...

"Holy crap!! A time bomb?!"

Shenli's gaze instantly locked onto the left wall, from which the sound was coming.

"...Don't let me catch you!"

Shenli rolled up his sleeves and strode towards the door...

The moment my hand touched the doorknob, the countdown on the bomb behind me ended, followed by a deafening explosion—

A strong gust of air blew up countless broken bricks and tiles, which struck Shenli's back.

"...Damn it..."

Shenli twisted the doorknob, ready to find the person who planted the bomb...

Unexpectedly, the moment the door opened, a tremendous force struck! The entire door, carrying divine power, slammed heavily into the room!

"Fuck..."

The divine power pushed aside the door that was pressing down on him and looked towards the entrance...

Under the sunlight, Shenli could only see a huge figure standing at the entrance, its nearly three-meter height obscuring its face.

If one had to describe his appearance, Shenli could only say two words: "An elephant?"

Indeed, although he couldn't see its head, Shenli clearly saw a long nose, which looked like an elephant's trunk.

boom--!

The top of the doorway was ripped apart by a giant hand, and the enormous figure slid into the room.

"It really is an elephant!"

Divine power could not conceal the shock in his heart. "No way, is this some kind of ancient god church or a zoo? Last time there was a tiger, and now there's an elephant. Will there be a lion next time?"

The enormous figure shook the two "palm-leaf fans" hanging beside its head, and a deep voice rang out, "Where is Chen Shu? Someone reported that you were up to no good at home. Lord [Huang Sha] sent me to take a look."

A flame ignited in Shenli's eyes. "What the hell?! Are you out of your mind? What are you doing here? I thought you were burglarizing my house!"

"Let me introduce myself. I am [Xiang Zu]. I am here to find Chen Shu. Please call him out."

Shenli dusted himself off and casually spat, "You're all that big for nothing, and your 'Chuan' realm strength is all for naught. No wonder you're just a soldier. If it were me, I'd probably be a general by now."

The soldier's calm expression subtly turned into anger. "Enough nonsense! Tell me, where is Chen Shu?"

"Oh, it's behind you." The divine power pointed behind the elephant soldier.

The pawn's expression changed drastically, and it immediately turned around.

"Hehe... Just kidding!"

The muscles in Shenli's legs bulged, unleashing tremendous power in an instant, propelling him at lightning speed toward the elephant pawn...
