Looking around, most of the people present were indeed strong and muscular, with calluses all over their forefingers and forefingers. Their qi and blood were exuberant, and their eyes were bright. Clearly, they were all a group of martial artists, but Zhou Zhao could not tell which one was an expert.
Now that Zhou Zhao's Purple Cloud Divine Art had reached great success, in the world of martial arts, he could also be a grandmaster figure who could establish a sect. If someone among them had cultivated true qi, Zhou Zhao would more or less be able to sense it.
But now, Zhou Zhao could feel that everyone was strong and vigorous. To ordinary people, they were indeed experts, but to Zhou Zhao, who had mixed in two worlds of the martial world, they really could not be considered experts.
"Clang!"
Just as Zhou Zhao was sizing up everyone present, the half-closed door of the tavern was suddenly violently opened with a clang. A middle-aged man of medium height, with a thin face and a knife hanging at his waist walked in.
The middle-aged man was dressed in a tight suit. His gaze was like lightning as he swept across the lobby of the tavern. Suddenly, his gaze was fixed on a man in a mandarin jacket, a moustache, and a black round hat sitting not far away.
"Li Mantis, the country is in danger. It's hard to tell if we'll live or die. Let's have a fight today and end the grudges between us.”
"Gao Li!"
At this moment, Li Mantis, who was sitting in his seat, suddenly stood up. He was about forty years old, and his long gray braid fell to his waist. His expression was rather gloomy.
"Then let's do it!"
Li Mantis stomped his foot, and the blood in his entire body seemed to boil in an instant. His five fingers were closed like the claws of a mantis, and he slashed through the air, aiming for Gao Li's neck.
"Good!"
Gao Li instantly took off the knife hanging on his waist and threw it to the side. Suddenly, his entire body was like a swimming dragon as he dashed out to meet Li Mantis.
Bang bang bang!
In a flash, the two men's punches and kicks collided, emitting muffled sounds like thunder. When their punches and kicks missed, there were even crisp sounds like firecrackers exploding.
The two figures moved quickly. Suddenly, the two of them slammed their palms together. With a muffled groan, Li Mantis's entire body flew out and actually crashed straight into Zhou Zhao, who was not far away. His speed was too fast and whistled. Everyone present wanted to block it, but the distance was too far and it was already too late.
Zhong Ling's eyes widened, and his big hand made a fishing gesture, but it did not touch Li Mantis's body at all.
In an instant, everyone present imagined that this handsome young Taoist priest would be knocked over by Li Mantis later. He would become covered in dust and lose his bearing.
However, a surprising scene appeared. The young Taoist priest sitting on the seat calmly stretched out a hand and gently pressed it. Li Mantis, who had been charging at an extremely fast speed, suddenly stopped. The contrast between extreme movement and extreme stillness made everyone's eyebrows twitch wildly.
What a good little Taoist priest, hiding his abilities!
Everyone present felt a chill in their hearts. They felt that they had underestimated this young Taoist priest just now. He was not an ordinary person at all, and his martial arts were extremely profound. At this age, this must have been trained in her mother's womb, right?？？
"Hidden force?"
Zhou Zhao's clear voice filled with interest rang out in the tavern.
Zhou Zhao could see that Gao Li, who was standing not far away, although he had sent Li Mantis flying with one palm strike, his palm was still trembling slightly. Thin drops of blood seeped out of his rough palm, and the blood dripped down his fingers to the ground.
Li Mantis, who was being held down by Zhou Zhao, was trembling all over. He covered his right hand fiercely. One could see that his right palm was a bloody mess, and his entire hand was pulled down weakly.
The way they fought made Zhou Zhao recall that perhaps the cultivation methods in this world were different from the martial arts world. This should be a world that belonged to the martial arts system.
"It's indeed hidden force!"
When everyone present saw the situation between the two, many people could not help but exclaim. The fight just now had obviously been mixed with hidden force, so both of them had hidden injuries. However, Gao Li would recover in a few days, but Li Mantis would probably have to recuperate in years.
"Good fellow, Gao Li's martial arts have improved!”
"He already showed mercy. Otherwise, Li Mantis wouldn't have just crippled his hand!”
While everyone was whispering, the seriously injured Li Mantis had already recovered. He turned around and bowed to Zhou Zhao, his voice dry and hoarse."Thank you, Daoist Priest."
Then, he bowed to everyone present and walked out without looking back.
Li Mantis had spent most of his time on his hand. Now that one of his hands was crippled, he naturally wouldn't go to the capital again. It was hard to predict whether he would survive this trip to the capital, and this battle might have saved his life.
After Li Mantis left, Gao Li picked up his saber again and cupped his hands at everyone. He sat down and quietly ate and drank at the side.
When everyone saw this, they did not disturb him.
"I didn't expect Taoist priest to be so extraordinary.”
At this moment, Old Lin put down the pipe in his hand and respectfully cupped his hands at Zhou Zhao. In the martial world, the strong were respected, and the accomplished were the teachers. In particular, the move that Zhou Zhao had just shown was so casual that everyone present admitted that they could not do it.
"Senior Lin is worrying too much!"
The emperor issued an edict to return the favor.
"Daoist Priest's martial arts are extraordinary. Since we're all heading to the capital, why don't we travel together later?”
Facing Zhou Zhao's skill, Zhong Qi was also quite shocked and immediately stood up to invite Zhou Zhao to go with him.
Zhou Zhao naturally agreed. He was already prepared to go to the capital, so this was the best.
Everyone chatted for a while more, and many people started to chat with Zhou Zhao, wanting to find out Zhou Zhao's identity and background. They were very eager. Finally, after more than an hour, everyone in the tavern set off.
This small town was actually not far from Beijing. It was less than 20 miles away. By evening, the ancient city of Beijing was already in sight.
