The court lackeys of the eight-hour workday

Chapter 501 Kill
Outside the gate of Dayan Hall, Li Miao dismounted, carrying Wu Zhi. He glanced at the gate and a playful smile appeared on his face.

After shading his eyes with his hand and looking into the distance, he smiled even more broadly.

Wu Mingxiao tied his horse to a tree, walked over, saw Li Miao smiling, and asked.

"Brother Li, what are you laughing at?"

Before Li Miao could answer, Zhao Ying walked over unnoticed and quietly tugged at Wu Mingxiao's arm.

Wu Mingxiao was puzzled and turned around to look.

Zhao Ying looked seriously into his eyes and slowly shook her head.

Wu Mingxiao was even more puzzled and opened his mouth to ask.

Zhao Ying suddenly put her hand to her mouth, gesturing for silence.

Then, pulling Wu Mingxiao slowly backward, their steps were extremely light and made no sound, like a rabbit passing through a tiger's territory, carefully pulling Wu Mingxiao back several feet.

Then she suddenly spoke.

"Wu Mingxiao and I are waiting for you here."

Li Miao waved to the front and strode forward.

Once his figure had completely disappeared from sight, Zhao Yingcai suddenly felt a wave of exhaustion wash over him, and sweat beaded on his forehead.

Wu Mingxiao, who was standing next to her, was stunned. In his memory, Zhao Ying had never seemed so vulnerable when she was first rescued from the Huang family. How could she suddenly be so scared?

There was clearly no one else there.

It was just that Brother Li smiled.

He opened his mouth to ask for clarification, but Zhao Ying waved her hand.

"Don't ask, don't look, don't leave."

"If you still want to eat dinner tonight."

"If you still want to get along normally with 'Master Li'."

"Just wait here until he comes down the mountain and then set off. Don't ask him about the outcome, don't be curious... and don't ask me why. You'll know in time."

After saying that, he turned around, walked to a rock, sat cross-legged, closed his eyes, and remained silent.

Wu Mingxiao scratched his head.

Although extremely confused, Zhao Ying was, after all, a woman, and had shown far more experience in the ways of the world than herself when she had dinner with Gao Lei, and was also acquainted with Brother Li... so her judgment must be much more accurate than her own.

So he obediently led the horse to find a pasture to graze.

After he left, Zhao Ying suddenly opened her eyes and looked at the gate of Dayan Hall in the distance. After a long while, she slowly clenched her fingers.

Her martial arts skills were too weak to participate in the things Li Miao had done.

However, she visited the Taishan Sect after the witchcraft incident.

When she arrived, the Imperial Guards had already cleaned up all traces, and she didn't find anything amiss. She just noticed that the mountain paths, gates, and trees around the Taishan Sect seemed exceptionally lush compared to when she last visited Zuo Lishan.

Several months later, she suddenly realized what had made those trees grow even more lush.

"I want to come..."

"After today, the trees here should become even more lush, right?"

Zhao Ying thought to herself and slowly shook her head.

--------

boom!
Suddenly, a huge amount of dust and smoke billowed out from the doors and windows of the main hall of Dayan Hall!
Amidst the dust and smoke, crimson blood, yellowish-white flesh, and wood chips sprayed high into the air, like a heavy rain, staining the bluestone-paved square mottled.

The next moment, the roof of the main hall suddenly burst open.

A figure burst through the roof and flew into the air, then suddenly turned back and slowly floated down, landing on the square in front of the hall.

The next instant, the main hall of Dayan Hall collapsed with a deafening roar.

The disciples who had escaped from the main hall stared in astonishment at everything. After a long while, they suddenly snapped out of their daze, looked at the figure that had jumped out of the main hall, and after recognizing it as Lü Guhong's back, they ran over.

"Master! Are you alright?"

"Hall Master!"

"Hall—"

The sound abruptly stopped. The disciple stood frozen in place, staring at Lü Guhong in shock.

The clothing, physique, hairstyle, and accessories were all identical to Lü Guhong's; even the pants that had just been torn apart by the giant were exactly the same.

But the face... is not.

Although his demeanor was exactly like Lü Guhong's, his appearance was different.

The original Lü Guhong was a dignified man with a square face. But the one standing now is a man with thin cheeks, peach blossom eyes, and upturned eyebrows.

Just as he opened his mouth wide, hesitating to speak, the man glanced at him, then suddenly raised his hand and pointed at him.

Bang!
The head exploded, and the headless corpse fell to the ground.

The man turned to look at the ruins of the main hall, his brows furrowed.

The struggle is far from over.

Suddenly, a corner of the ruins exploded with a deafening roar!

A massive figure, wielding a ten-foot-long naginata, leaped high into the air like a mountain peak. With the naginata swung overhead, a powerful "Mount Hua Cleave" strike came crashing down on the man!

The man had anticipated this and dodged away.

boom!
The naginata slashed at the ground, instantly creating a deep crater!
The pebbles flew through the air, and the man swung his hand to brush away the pebbles that were hitting his face, but he actually felt a little strained!

You must know, he is a celestial being!
A celestial being who has cultivated to the point of "Mysterious Vision"!

A celestial being, a direct descendant of the Ming Cult!
If you can't win a head-on confrontation and can't even withstand the aftershocks of the opponent's attack, people in the martial arts world will probably just laugh at you if you say that!
But this is the bloody reality!
Just as his mind raced, the naginata suddenly spun around and swept upwards towards his waist!

Without a second thought, he raised his hand to meet the blade, swept his palms across, used the momentum to flip himself onto the blade, and at the same time, pointed his hands repeatedly at the giant's face!

clang!
clang!
clang!
The giant suddenly raised his hand and shook the handle of his sword, managing to block all the true energy that was aimed at his face.

The man took this opportunity to retreat several feet, gaining a brief respite.

Just then, a series of rapid footsteps came from all directions.

The man's expression changed, and he raised his hand to wipe his face.

Once he removed his hand, his appearance had returned to that of Lü Guhong.

And the sound of footsteps drew closer at that moment.

The two had been fighting for less than the time it takes to drink a cup of tea when the disciples of the Wild Goose Hall finally heard the loud noise and rushed over. When they saw Lü Guhong confronting the giant, they immediately understood the situation.

Dozens of loyal disciples rushed forward with weapons in hand.

"Die, you villain!"

"kill!"

Dozens of figures filled all the gaps around the giant.

The giant merely moved slightly, raising and returning his naginata to its original position.

The process in between seemed to have been skipped.

The next instant—BOOM!

Dozens of figures, along with their weapons, were cut in half at the waist. Their bodies were then sent flying by the belated sonic boom, crashing into the crowd and breaking the limbs of dozens more. In an instant, cries of pain and wails erupted.

The giant turned to look at Lü Guhong.

But Lü Guhong was nowhere to be found.

He turned his head again to look at the crowd and spotted a figure that had somehow slipped into the crowd.

Without the slightest hesitation, the giant leaped up—and then crashed into the crowd like a meteorite!

Blood exploded!

Lu Guhong coughed up blood and retreated rapidly, his naginata slicing through several bodies before catching up with him again.

The disciples of Dayan Hall scattered and fled, creating a chaotic scene.

Unbeknownst to everyone in the midst of the battle, not far from the mountain gate, a person was leaning against the gate with their arms crossed, tilting their head and looking in their direction.

"Besides me, are there other people who kill like this?"

"With my consent?"
