A carefree soldier king in the city

Chapter 420 Giant

The words had barely left his mouth when a violent rumble shattered the surrounding tranquility, followed by a violent earthquake. Everyone was startled and quickly turned around, their faces changing drastically. Currydo, walking at the very back, suddenly screamed, "Oh no! Everyone run! The cave has collapsed!"

Without hesitation, everyone took off running. The cave was too narrow for flying, otherwise they wouldn't be on solid ground. Although Chao Bufan possessed the extraordinary ability to travel a thousand miles in a single step, he wouldn't use it at this moment. Since it was a test, it couldn't end so early; that would be too boring, and there was no need to act arrogantly. Besides, he wanted to see what kind of test Krestov and the others had given him.

"Hurry, hurry, the falling rocks are almost touching my butt!" Curry shouted in a panic. Indeed, the cave had collapsed, and the falling rocks were chasing after his butt. However, the cave was narrow, only wide enough for one person to pass through, making it difficult to get to the front. He could only worry anxiously.

The five men ran frantically through the narrow cave, finally managing to escape the cramped passage and enter a reasonably sized stone chamber. However, a burly man blocked their path at the other end of the chamber. Fortunately, the collapse had stopped just in time, effectively sealing off only the narrow passageway, meaning they had nowhere to retreat.

This man was enormous, practically a giant—yes, a giant. He was more than twice the height of an average person, and at least five times wider, appearing remarkably large and savage. His tangled, bushy black hair and beard almost completely obscured his face; thankfully, his large mouth was visible, though it was barely larger than two sausages. His hands were as big as trash can lids, and his feet, clad in straw sandals, resembled two small dolphins. His exposed, thick arms and solid chest were like several hard stones. His right foot was resting on an iron ball as large as a round table, one end of which was attached to a chain thicker than his arm, the other end gripped in his heavy, massive right hand.

They had seen giant tree people before, but this was the first time they had ever seen a giant like this. For a moment, the five of them stared in shock at the giant blocking their way, their jaws nearly dropping to the ground. Clearly, this was also the first time Bridal and his companions had ever encountered such a creature.

Just as they were astonished, the giant moved. He put his foot off the iron ball and dragged it toward Chao Bufan and the others. The heavy iron ball made a clanging sound as it rubbed against the hard ground, even sparking a few sparks.

Everyone realized what was happening and took a step back in unison. Bridal glanced back at their blocked escape route, then turned back and asked hesitantly, "What do we do? Charge or not?"

"Roar—" The giant suddenly roared, then swung his arm, and the huge iron ball, accompanied by a whooshing sound, hurled horizontally towards Chao Bufan and the others, with the momentum of "sweeping away thousands of troops".

Bridal and the others' expressions changed drastically. Without hesitation, almost simultaneously, the five of them leaped into the air, jumping a full three meters high.

With a loud "bang," the iron ball whistled past their feet and slammed into the stone wall on the right, sending stones and dirt flying. The iron ball was embedded deep into the stone wall, and at the same time, the entire stone chamber trembled with the loud noise.

The five landed back in their original positions, staring in shock at the iron ball, only a small portion of which was exposed. However, before they could react, the giant pulled the iron ball out with force, and then swung his arm, sending the iron ball crashing down on their heads.

"Damn it!" Chao Bufan cursed under his breath and quickly dodged to the side, while Bulido and the others rolled to the side in their haste.

"boom!"

The iron ball slammed heavily onto the spot where Chao Bufan and the others were standing. With another loud bang, the stone chamber trembled again, and amidst the flying stones and dirt, a large hole was smashed into the ground.

In the chaos, Bridal and the others quickly got up.

"Bufan, say something! We can't stay passive like this," Dosru said urgently.

Chao Bufan has already revealed his unique weapon, which he has named "Breaking the Sky." Yes, it is Breaking the Sky. He believes that only such a domineering name is worthy of this divine weapon. Therefore, the Divine Bone is no longer called the Divine Bone, the Seven Fiend Blades are no longer called the Seven Fiend Blades, and the Magic Stone is no longer called the Magic Stone. The combination of the three is already an unprecedented feat, so it is named Breaking the Sky.

"Nonsense, if you don't want to die, then why don't you make your move? Are the magic wands in your hands just for decoration?" With that, he took the lead in attacking the giant. "Fenrit, you're in charge of the left; Currydo, you're in charge of the right; Dosru, you're in charge of the rear; Bridal, the front is yours, I'll take care of the middle."

Chao Bufan quickly explained the mission for the joint operation, then leaped up, appearing above the giant. Without hesitation, he brought his sword down in a single, decisive strike—

"when!"

With a crisp sound, the Heaven-Piercing Slash struck the giant's head, sending sparks flying.

"Huh?" Chao Bufan was startled. He hadn't expected the giant's defensive techniques to be so astonishing. The power of that sword strike was enough to cleave a mountain in two, yet when it struck his head, it only produced a few sparks. However, he was relieved that although the sword hadn't injured him, it had cut off a few strands of his disheveled hair, so it could be considered a gain!

The giant, who had been struck on the head by a sword, roared and swiftly slammed his left hand down.

Seeing this, Chao Bufan quickly moved to dodge, but at the same time, the attacks from Bridal and the others arrived. The four of them, positioned at the front, back, left, and right, unleashed various types of magical attacks directly at the giant. Lightning balls, fireballs, ice spikes, and wind blades struck the giant simultaneously, creating a series of explosions. However, thanks to his powerful defense, these attacks only left him with a patch of fire, not even a scar, demonstrating just how astonishing the giant's defensive abilities were.

However, although so many attacks did not cause any serious injury, it was still quite painful. With an angry roar, he increased the force of his left hand, and the palm struck him squarely on the head.

"Pia!"

A heavy slap landed, followed by astonishing applause. However, unexpectedly, the seemingly invincible giant was knocked off balance by his own slap and collapsed to the ground, unconscious, moments later.
