The court lackeys of the eight-hour workday

Chapter 500 Giant
The members of the Dayan Hall, who were sitting upright in the main hall, all stood up, drew their weapons, and glared at the other party, but no one made a move for a moment.

Logically speaking, regardless of how the giant managed to get to the main hall through the guard posts, the mountain gate, the outer gate, and the training ground, it was clear that the other party was an enemy, not a friend. Moreover, this was their own territory, so they should have gone forward and subdued him directly.

The reason they didn't take action was partly because Lü Guhong hadn't given the order. The other part was because everyone present knew they were no match for the giant.

This giant was at least ten feet tall. He had to bend over and hold onto the door frame with one hand to squeeze in. His upper arm was as thick as an ordinary person's waist, and his forearm, which was exposed outside his clothes, was as gnarled and twisted as a tree trunk.

The hilt of the naginata in his hand was as thick as an egg and was clearly forged from a single piece of high-quality steel. The blade left deep grooves on the stone slab simply by pressing against the ground.

No matter how skilled the giant was, once he swung his ten-foot-long naginata, no one below the summit could stop or dodge it.

However, it's still acceptable to hurl a few insults to boost morale.

So, as Lü Guhong frowned and asked the question, all the disciples in the room began to curse in unison, their voices surging towards the giant in an attempt to suppress the imposing aura brought by his enormous size.

The Dayan Hall expanded extremely quickly, with most of its members joining later in life. It was a mixed bag, with many members coming from bandit backgrounds. Their insults, often involving kinship, were particularly unseemly and would likely provoke even a clay figure to anger.

The giant, however, did not react at all.

He stood silently, like a stone statue.

Lu Guhong's brows furrowed more and more deeply.

Suddenly, without warning, he raised his hand and pointed out from afar.

At the same time, the giant suddenly tilted his head.

Bang!
The top edge of the door frame behind the giant suddenly exploded, sending wood chips flying everywhere.

Lü Guhong narrowed his eyes.

Although it was a casual, probing move, this finger strike used six or seven tenths of its power and was incredibly fast, all to test the giant's reaction speed. If the giant's reaction was slow, it would simply be a giant meat target.

But the moment he made his move, the giant had already anticipated the direction of his attack and dodged it—his martial arts skills were not low, and his speed was also very fast.

This is a formidable opponent he needs to take seriously.

After hesitating for a moment, Lü Guhong spoke in broken Japanese.

"Witchcraft?"

"どういう means ですか (what do you mean)?"

Although the pauses and awkwardness are noticeable, it is undoubtedly Japanese.

The members of the Dayan Hall inside the room were puzzled. Lü Guhong had never dealt with Japanese people before, so how could he speak Japanese? But now was not the time to ask, so they put the matter aside for the time being.

And the giant finally reacted.

He looked at Lü Guhong, his voice booming.

"Fuso に帰ります (Follow me back to Fuso)."

These words came out of nowhere, yet there was no hesitation whatsoever.

It's as if things are supposed to be this way, and it's only right that way.

The giant's attitude made Lü Guhong laugh in anger.

"That's fine!"

"I thought it was something important, but it turns out he's just an idiot!"

"I will take your life now to avenge my disciples of the Wild Goose Hall!"

Swish!
In the blink of an eye, Lü Guhong disappeared from the spot.

At the same time, the giant suddenly took a step back, his clothes burst open, and a bluish-purple handprint appeared on his solid chest.

Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
Lu Guhong was nowhere to be seen. The giant's clothes flew off like firecrackers, each explosion revealing a purplish-blue handprint on his skin, with blood seeping from some vulnerable spots. His body swayed violently from side to side, like blades of grass being tossed about by a strong wind, and he was forced back to the doorway in just a few breaths.

He seemed to have no time to react, and was even unable to make any move to resist.

The members of the Dayan Hall inside the room showed joy on their faces and cheered in unison.

“The hall master is mighty!”

Bang!
The giant bowed his head.

"Kill this traitor with your own hands!"

Bang!
The giant retreated.

"Revenge!"

Bang!
The giant staggered.

For a moment, cheers mingled with the sounds of giants being struck.

Judging from the giant's utter helplessness, it seemed as if he would be crushed to death by Lü Guhong at any moment.

Just when all the members of the Dayan Hall thought so.

Suddenly, he moved.

The movement was extremely small, yet it revealed a speed that was extremely incongruous with its size, as it suddenly reached out and grabbed at the top of its head!

This grab actually pulled a person right off the empty top of their head!
It was Lü Guhong!
The giant's hand was like a fan, gripping his thigh as if it were a string of copper coins. Lu Guhong was filled with shock and anger, and kept hitting the giant's fingers with both hands, but no matter how much blood was sprayed, it had no effect.

And just as the giant's arm swung down, about to slam Lü Guhong to the ground! Lü Guhong could even hear the shrill sound of the air rushing past his ears. If this blow landed squarely, even a celestial being like him would be seriously injured!
Lu Guhong's face darkened and his heart hardened.

scoff-

The giant's arm swung down suddenly!
Snapped!
A gust of wind blew, and half of his trouser leg fell to the ground with a loud bang!
The giant suddenly turned his head, his gaze fixed to the side.

The people inside followed his gaze and finally spotted Lü Guhong in a corner of the room.

He was no longer the confident and self-assured man he had been moments before; instead, he was panting heavily, still furious, and looked extremely disheveled.

Moreover, when everyone looked down, they could see that the lower bodies of Hall Master Lü and Lü Tianren were completely naked, with only a small piece of clothing covering their crotches, revealing their two white thighs.

Cut off the tail to survive.

Although it wasn't quite the right word, everyone thought of it at the same time.

Just moments ago, the situation seemed to be going very well, but in an instant, the giant forced Lü Guhong to the point where he had no choice but to abandon his dignity and beg for survival!

When everyone realized this problem and turned to look at the giant, they discovered an even bigger problem—the giant had only suffered some superficial injuries.

Although it looked extremely gruesome, it was actually just a superficial wound.

In other words, even though the giant did not resist, Lü Guhong attacked him dozens of times with his palms, and only caused minor flesh wounds!
Even a celestial being who has mastered the "Vajra" technique, could they do that?
Meanwhile, Lü Guhong's face was ashen.

As someone directly involved, he knew more than any bystander.

The giant hadn't even used his true energy; in other words, he had withstood dozens of blows from Lü Guhong purely through his physical strength! And when he struck, even Lü Guhong hadn't had time to dodge!

And up to this point, he hasn't even used that naginata.

Using that body to swing that enormous naginata—Lü Guhong shuddered violently.

He was no match for the giant.

If... he really is Lü Guhong.
