Chapter 29

"Rise!"

Li Hanhou grabbed Xiao Chen's ankle and roared, using his left hand to try to throw him out.

Xiao Chen's body slightly lowered, his left foot exerted force, and with a sudden shake, he shook off Li Hanhou's left hand. His right fist swung out, striking close-range!

Li Hanhou's left hand went numb at the tiger's mouth, but he did not retreat at all. Both fists swung out, wide and open, like a raging wild bear!

Bang, bang, bang.

The forceful punches of both sides collided continuously, back and forth, producing a dull sound.

Beside them, the security guards were all stunned. How could this big guy be so powerful? At the same time, they secretly rejoiced that Minister Xiao had arrived in time; otherwise, they would have been beaten up today!

"Crush and Destroy!"

Suddenly, Li Hanhou roared, his massive body leaped up, both fists tightly clenched, moving like a taut bow, and striking down like a thunderbolt.

"Good move!"

Xiao Chen's shoulders shook, and the wind of his punch suddenly changed from fierce and violent to restrained and internal. His right palm pressed against Li Hanhou's fist, using a light force to counter a heavy one, soft overcoming hard!

"Mountain Lean!"

Li Hanhou passed by, his shoulder suddenly colliding with Xiao Chen, with great force, like a human tank, exuding a wild and overwhelming aura!

Xiao Chen raised his eyebrows, his body retreating sharply. Even he did not want to clash head-on with the Eight Extremes Fist... especially against such a powerful human giant. A direct clash would only put him at a disadvantage!

However, as he retreated, his right leg drew a half-circle and kicked towards Li Hanhou's knee. The latter stumbled and almost fell to the ground.

"Feels good, let's go again!"

Li Hanhou, who had suffered a minor setback, did not retreat but instead became even more determined. In the days he had been in Longhai, he had no place to practice, feeling extremely frustrated!

Now, encountering such an opponent, how could he not be excited? How could he not fight to his heart's content?

"Alright, let's go again!"

Xiao Chen also became excited, his body radiating a strong fighting spirit, like a god of war descending!

"Mountain Cannon!"

Li Hanhou's arms straightened, and he charged at Xiao Chen, his two arms like steel whips, whistling through the air, crashing down.

"This looks like Pi Gua Quan, right?"

Suddenly, a security guard who had practiced a few moves couldn't help but exclaim upon seeing Li Hanhou's actions.

"Pi Gua Quan? What is Pi Gua Quan?"

The other security guards asked curiously.

"Pi Gua Quan emphasizes that an inch longer is an inch stronger... It is one of the most powerful and fierce boxing styles in China. Have you heard the saying, 'Eight Extremes plus Pi Gua, even gods and ghosts fear it!'?" The security guard who spoke earlier stared at Li Hanhou, who was fighting Xiao Chen: "If I'm not mistaken, this guy practices both Eight Extremes Fist and Pi Gua Quan!"

"I've heard that saying, and it's said that people who practice these two styles are very powerful! Holy crap, this big guy is so strong?"

The security guards all drew a sharp breath and exclaimed.

"Subdue Dragon and Tiger!"

At this moment, Li Hanhou roared again, the distance between him and Xiao Chen suddenly closing. Although his attack was still fierce, his boxing style had changed.

"That's right, this is the 'Subdue Dragon and Tiger' from Eight Extremes Fist, also known as 'May Heavenward Spear' and 'Six Harmonies Ground Cover'!" The security guard's eyes twitched, and he slowly continued: "Literature has Tai Chi to pacify the world, martial arts have Eight Extremes to stabilize the universe... Minister Xiao is in trouble!"

"What? Minister Xiao can't beat this big guy?"

"Don't call him a big guy, if he hears you, he'll beat you so badly your mother won't recognize you!" The security guard glanced at his companion and warned him.

The companion opened his mouth to say something but, seeing the fierce Li Hanhou, swallowed his words. Better not to provoke him; this big guy is too terrifying!

Boom!

Xiao Chen's palms met Li Hanhou's punch, and his body retreated several steps, his arms feeling numb. This made him inwardly groan, damn, this big guy is too strong!

"Overpower the Strong!"

Li Hanhou's attacks were like a flood, one after another, and with his massive body, they were especially impactful!

"Damn, not over yet? It's time to end this!"

Xiao Chen's legs slightly bent, his momentum changed. If he had been a sharp sword out of its sheath before, he now became a seemingly harmless blunt sword, embodying the principle that 'a heavy sword has no edge, and great skill is simple.'

Bang, bang.

Both sides clashed again. Just as everyone thought Xiao Chen was being suppressed and was at a disadvantage, a light shout was heard, followed by a dull sound, and a massive black shadow flew out.

Bang!

The black shadow hit the ground heavily, rolling a few times before stopping.

The security guards were shocked. Did Minister Xiao lose? They focused and saw that the one who flew out was not the relatively slim Minister Xiao but the large, bear-like Li Hanhou!

Li Hanhou lay half on the ground, his expression dazed. He seemed to be in disbelief that he had been thrown out. How could this be?

He had hunted in the forest and, with his bare hands, killed two black bears, one big and one small!

In a direct clash, his strength was no less than that of a black bear!

But now, he had lost, being directly thrown out. This was something he could not accept!

Looking at Xiao Chen, his face was pale, and a hint of pain flashed across it. His dantian felt like it was being pricked by steel needles!

However, he quickly recovered, stepped forward, and said with a smile, "Big Han, you lost."

"How can your strength be greater than mine?"

Li Hanhou got up from the ground. He was not injured; Xiao Chen had controlled his force, and his skin was tough from practicing in the forest.

"Hehe, what's so strange about that?"

"I lost, I'm leaving."

Li Hanhou thought of something, feeling a bit disappointed, scratched his head, and turned to leave.

"Wait!"

"What do you want?"

Li Hanhou stopped, turned, and looked at Xiao Chen.

"Hehe, you're hired. From now on, you're the company's security guard!" Xiao Chen said with a smile.

Li Hanhou was stunned, then overjoyed, "Really?"

"Of course it's real."

"Great, thank you!"

Li Hanhou was very happy, like a child, almost jumping with joy.

Xiao Chen also smiled, a look of appreciation on his face. Although they had just met, he liked this big guy!

"Big Han, go apologize to them. From now on, you're colleagues, and you need to get along well, understand?"

Xiao Chen looked at the security guards and said to Li Hanhou.

"Okay!"

Li Hanhou nodded, ran to the security guards, bowed, and said with a simple smile, "I was wrong just now, I shouldn't have hit anyone... How about you hit me back? I won't fight back!"

The security guards looked at Li Hanhou and all laughed. Who could hold a grudge against him?

"Alright, since everyone forgives you, let it go! Come, let's go to the office, we need to talk more!" Xiao Chen said with a smile.

"Okay." Li Hanhou nodded.

Xiao Chen took out a cigarette and handed it to the security guards, "Everyone is on duty, I'll take Big Han inside."

"Yes!"

"Let's go."

Xiao Chen had just taken a few steps when he suddenly heard a rumbling sound, loud like distant thunder.

"What's that sound?"

Xiao Chen stopped and asked in confusion.

"Leader, it's my stomach."

Li Hanhou said, a bit embarrassed.

"..."

Xiao Chen was speechless, looking at Li Hanhou's stomach, "Are you hungry?"

"I haven't eaten for two days. It's fine, it will stop soon." Li Hanhou shook his head.

Xiao Chen was puzzled, "Why haven't you eaten?"

"I have no money..." Li Hanhou scratched his head, opened his mouth, but didn't continue.

Xiao Chen was both amused and exasperated. No money to eat? Well, let's not go to the office yet, let's go to the canteen first!

"Come, I'll take you to the canteen for a meal."

"Meal?" Li Hanhou's eyes lit up, and he swallowed.

"Yes!" Xiao Chen shook his head helplessly. This guy had been hungry for two days and was still so strong. If he were full, how much stronger would he be?

Xiao Chen took Li Hanhou to the canteen and asked the chef to prepare a few dishes.

"Big Han, eat!"

"Okay!"

Li Hanhou picked up his chopsticks, picked up a lion's head meatball, and was about to put it in his mouth when he thought of something and put it down.

"Big Han, what's wrong? Don't you like it?"

Xiao Chen was a bit puzzled. The meatball was quite delicious; he had eaten two at lunch.

"No, leader, can I save this meatball to take home for my mother?" Li Hanhou looked at the meatball on the plate, swallowed, and asked.

Xiao Chen was moved: "For your mother?"

"Yes, my mother is sick and hasn't eaten meat for several days. I want to save it for her to help her recover." Li Hanhou nodded, looking forward to the answer: "Leader, can I?"

Xiao Chen looked at Li Hanhou's simple face, feeling a warm and touching sensation. He forced a smile, "Big Han, eat this. After you finish, I'll take you to see your mother and bring her even better food!"

"Really?"

"Really, eat!"

"Okay!"

Li Hanhou nodded, picked up the lion's head meatball, and swallowed it in one bite, "So delicious!"

"Hehe, eat slowly, there's plenty more!"

"Okay." Li Hanhou, too busy eating, nodded vaguely and started eating rice.

Although Xiao Chen was prepared, he was still stunned by Li Hanhou's appetite. Not to mention the amount of dishes, just the rice alone, he ate seven large bowls!

He usually only ate two bowls of rice!

"Big Han, are you full? If not, there's more inside."

Xiao Chen saw the rice bowl empty and asked with a smile.

"Half full, can I have more?" Li Hanhou continued to eat rice.

"Um... wait, I'll get you more rice."

Xiao Chen was amazed. Seven bowls of rice, and he's only half full? Holy crap, this guy's strength and size are not for nothing!

It wasn't until the eleventh bowl that Li Hanhou put down his chopsticks and patted his stomach, "So full, I haven't eaten this much in over a month."

Xiao Chen watched Li Hanhou's actions, wanting to laugh but couldn't. "Big Han, tell me about your situation. Where is your mother now?"
