1976
With a "pa ji" sound, Zhang Yuanqing fell to the ground.
Jin Zhongzheng slowly lowered his right foot and coldly looked at Zhang Yuanqing. Then, he raised his hand and made a throat slitting motion.
The medical staff in the audience rushed onto the stage to give Zhang Yuanqing an emergency treatment. At the same time, the referee loudly announced that Jin Zhongzheng had obtained victory.
He walked to the edge of the battling platform, looking at Xu Taiping as he said, "This is the first one. The next one is you."
Xu Taiping looked coldly at Jin Zhongzheng and said, "If you can walk out of Huaxia alive, I'll give you my surname."
"Very good." Jin Zhongzheng grinned and said, "I really want to see how you, who were beaten into a pile of feces by me, will stop me from leaving China."
"You'll see it tomorrow." Xu Taiping said.
Jin Zhong Zhao laughed, and jumped down from the side of the battling platform, then walked towards the side passage.
At the same time, on the stage.
The medical staff who rescued Zhang Yuanqing placed him on a stretcher and took him away from the scene.
Since Xu Taiping was the number four seed, it would take him at least twenty minutes to fight him. Therefore, he followed the medical staff and left the martial arts arena.
Zhang Yuanqing's face was covered with blood as he was directly sent to the emergency room.
However, ten minutes after he entered the emergency room, the doctor announced Zhang Yuanqing's death.
The cause of death was head injury. That is to say, Jin Zhong Zhao's final attack had killed Zhang Yuanqing.
Zhang Yuanqing had been killed by Jin Zhong, just like that!
Xu Taiping returned to the martial arena with a cold expression.
At this moment, on the battling platform, as the first on the third seed, he had already defeated his opponent.
As the number four seed, Xu Taiping's next match would be his, and his opponent would be someone who would rule the country from the back.
In the sea realm, there would occasionally be disputes with China, so, the relations between the citizens of the country and China weren't very good. For example, from the start of the battle, this man called Benna displayed a strong killing intent towards Xu Taiping.
This killing intent was extremely naked, without any concealment.
"I didn't expect to bump into you!" Ben stood across from Xu Taiping, moving his body as he said, "If there's anyone in China that I want to beat the most, then this person would be you. You're too flamboyant, and I, like to beat up people who are flamboyant the most."
Xu Taiping looked expressionlessly at Ben, but said nothing.
"Afraid to the point of not daring to speak? "Don't worry. As long as you admit defeat, I will still let you go." As Ben spoke, he tore off the bandages on his hands, revealing his hands.
It could be seen that Ben had expended a great deal of effort to train his hands. Furthermore, in the previous matches, Ben had not shown that he was very skilled in martial arts, so from this, it could be seen that Ben had hidden himself in the previous battles, and his strength could possibly be much stronger than what he had displayed.
"These hands of mine are known as Iron Palm. They are able to break ten centimeters thick granite rock. Similarly, they are also able to easily smash a person's head." Ben said, raising his hand.
Xu Taiping frowned, looking at the judge beside him, "Can we start now?"
"The live broadcast signal is not ready yet. Please wait a moment." The referee said.
"There's no need to prepare. It's only a few seconds anyway." Xu Taiping said.
"What do you mean? "Are you saying that you can kill me in a few seconds?" Ben asked angrily.
Xu Taiping didn't answer. He just adjusted his breathing.
"I will make you pay for your arrogance." Ben threw a few punches towards Xu Taiping in anger. His fists tore the air, producing a buzzing sound. His momentum was quite impressive.
At this time, the referee said, "The live broadcast signal has been prepared. I now declare that the match has begun!"
"You're dead meat!" With a loud roar, Ben suddenly charged forward.
In the next second, Xu Taiping was right in front of Ben!
You are not mistaken, it is Xu Taiping who has arrived in front of Ben, not Ben, because Ben was just about to charge up when Xu Taiping appeared. He had crossed a much longer distance than Ben, so he could be said to have arrived in front of Ben.
Ben's expression changed, and he lifted his hand to smack Xu Taiping's body.
Bang!
Ben's hand struck Xu Taiping's ribs, breaking a few of his bones, and at the same time, Xu Taiping's fist shot out like a cannonball from the side, hitting Ben's temple.
With a bang, Ben was sent flying. After flying over ten meters, he landed heavily on the ground, and then rolled over ten meters away on the ground before finally landing on the edge of the battling platform. He almost rolled out of the fighting arena.
Ben lay on his back on the ground, his four limbs twisted incongruously as he trembled. His eyes had already rolled back into his head, and white foam was spewing from his mouth.
The scene was deathly silent.
Everyone watched as Xu Taiping walked step by step towards Ben Na, who was clearly already in shock.
Xu Taiping walked to Ben Na's side, lifted his foot, and touched the edge of Ben Na's body.
Ben flipped out of the ring and landed on the floor beside him.
"Beep!"
The referee blew his whistle, and Gao Sheng announced, "Asian region competition of the world's strongest martial arts gathering, semifinals, the fourth match, victor, Xu Taiping!"
Xu Taiping turned and walked out of the arena.
After experiencing a short period of deathly silence, a burst of sky-shattering cheers suddenly exploded from the audience.
"Damn, he's too handsome!"
"F * ck, a punch, and he killed Ben with a single punch. Is he that strong?"
"He was originally a 68,000 fighting strength expert, but he was still short of Xu Taiping by 2000, how could he be so weak?!"
Cheers, exclamations, questions, and all sorts of voices resounded throughout the training field, causing the entire training field to be bustling with noise and excitement.
In the martial arena, High Lord Yi Heng, Jin Zhong Zhao, and the rest were all very calm. To them, they were also able to instantly kill Ben Na, which was nothing to be proud of.
In the next two rounds, the seeded contestant won without any surprise.
Thus, the top six of the Asian Regional Selection, the World's Strongest Martial Arts Competition, was officially held.
These six contestants were the six seeded contestants. They were the deities from the poolside, Jin Zhong Zhao from the pickled vegetable country, one from China, Xu Taiping from China, Amir Khan from the three countries, and Ba Tu from the ancient Meng country.
Of these six, the strongest was an Empyrean God with an combat strength of over 80,000. Then came Jin Zhongzheng, 70,000. After that was around 70,000.
However, each and every one of them had more or less hidden their true strength. If their true strength was to be considered, each and every one of them had at least added two to three thousand points.
After the top six had been decided, lots were drawn on the field.
The six finalists would randomly split into three groups and fight in three matches. And the victors of each of these three matches would be able to represent Asia in the final round of the World's Strongest Martial Arts Tournament one month later!
This was a qualification to represent the entire continent, and it was extremely important for any martial artist. Once they were qualified to represent the continent, it would mean that those who could compete on the same continent as you would be experts from other continents.
Under normal circumstances, people at Xu Taiping's level would find it hard to find experts at the same level to properly fight with each other. But this time, as long as you could represent your continent in the finals, you could easily fight against experts of the same level from other continents. For those who liked to fight, this was still very tempting.
The drawing of lots was done in a completely random manner.
Very quickly, teams were selected.
The first one to be chosen was the one with the third seed, the One Conferred Knight.
Lord One Heng's luck was very good. He picked the sixth seed, Ba Tu.
The second person chosen was Empyrean God # 1.
The God of Heaven's luck did not matter, because out of the six people present, almost none of them could pose a threat to him. His opponent was the fifth seed, Amir Khan.
Now that the Empyrean God had confirmed his opponent, Xu Taiping's opponent was naturally confirmed as well.
Xu Taiping's opponent was the second seed, Jin Zhong Zhao!
Waves of wails came from the audience stands.
In the entire top six rankings, no one was willing to face God of Heaven or Jin Zhongzheng. This was because the combat prowess of these two was much greater than that of the others.
Who would have thought that the person most loved by the audience, Xu Taiping, would meet Jin Zhong Zhao?
Golden Bell Vast, 70,000 battle strength.
Xu Taiping, with a combat strength of 70,000.
This battle ability had been tested over the past ten days. Even if Xu Taiping had improved, it would not have been likely for him to have improved that much.
With a difference of seven thousand fighting strength, the two of them were on completely different levels.
For the audience, they truly did not want to see Golden Bell Aura hit Xu Taiping, because Xu Taiping was the audience's favorite, and Golden Bell Aura was the audience's most hated opponent. If the person they hated the most eliminated the audience's favorite, then for the audience, it would also be a bad year.
"That's great!" When Jin Zhongzheng saw that his opponent was Xu Taiping, he smiled happily. He had been hoping to get Xu Taiping as his opponent, but who knew that he would actually get Xu Taiping!
"Today is the first, tomorrow you are the second, and after I kill you, I will find a chance to get rid of the rest of you so-called experts from China, one by one I will get rid of them, and let you all understand, in front of my Taekwondo, your so-called martial arts are nothing but trash!"
