Xu Taiping left the police station around six in the morning.

"Be careful these days. Since the enemy wants to establish his might, he might attack you." Xu Taiping said to Zhou Weidao beside him.

"I know!" Zhou Weidao nodded and said, "President, you have to be more careful too. You are the pillar of our association, and you are also our association's face. As long as you are fine, our association will definitely be fine!"

"After you go back, draft a bounty notice. Anyone who provides any clues will be heavily rewarded, and they will be rewarded with the kind that he suspects to be alive." Xu Taiping said.

"Un, I know!"

"Let's have breakfast together." Xu Taiping said.

"Alright!"

It was already past 7 in the morning after breakfast with Zhou Weidao.

Today's competition had a total of three matches. It would start at ten in the morning with an estimated time of two hours.

A one-on-one match like this could end in less than ten minutes. Three matches with two hours was enough time.

As the sky brightened, news of last night's massacre, murder, and assault spread quickly throughout the Martial Forest.

Many people expressed their indignation towards these cases. There were even some who joined the team to help find the murderer.

At this time, the power of the entire Huaxia Martial Arts Forest began to gather.

Of course, there were also some people who were worried about such a vicious case, especially some small sects. Last night's attack did not have any forewarning, and it was said that they did not even have a motive.

Naturally, they didn't have to worry about their sect being exterminated. However, the smaller sects were different, and those lone rangers were the same.

Panic slowly spread in the Martial Forest.

Many people asked the Chinese Martial Arts Association when they would be able to catch him.

The Chinese Martial Arts Association also couldn't give them an accurate time. Thus, the fear in their hearts became more and more intense.

Even though the panic in the martial arts arena was still strong, the final battle for the Asian region of the World's Strongest Martial Arts Competition this morning was still going to be held as scheduled.

Groups of spectators entered the arena.

Every warrior had their own country's supporters, and even if it was Jin Zhong Zhao, who was deemed a sinner by the country, there was still a large group of people coming to support him. After all, Jin Zhong Zhao was still fighting, and once he won, he would not only be able to represent the nation and participate in the finals, but he would also be able to step on the martial arts of Hua Xia to show how powerful his country's martial arts were. In this situation, every pickled citizen would give up their hatred towards Jin Zhong Zhao and walk into the martial arts arena to cheer Jin Zhong Zhao.

In the eyes of many pickled vegetables, Jin Zhongzheng defeating Xu Taiping was not a problem at all. After all, there was such a huge gap in combat power. Unless he went easy on Xu Taiping, he had no chance of winning!

9: 30 in the morning.

The six of them, Deity of Heaven, Jin Zhong Zhao, Master One, Xu Taiping, Amir Khan, and Batu, entered the battling ring one by one.

The crowd burst into cheers. Everyone was cheering for the representatives of their respective countries.

Because this was their home ground, China's cheers were the loudest.

Because Xu Taiping was the idol of the people, the cheers in China were basically for him. No one was cheering for him.

Many of the Chinese were still holding up the photos of Xu Taiping, holding up Xu Taiping's nameplate. No one held up the photo of Lord Yi, and no one held up Lord Yi's nameplate either.

Xu Taiping was handsome and rich, and he also had a lot of work to do, so he naturally became the most popular. As for Lord One Heng, he was an old Taoist, and not to mention he was ugly, he rarely went down the mountain, and never did anything for the country or the people, so no one liked him either.

High Lord Yi Heng looked at the cheering for Xu Taiping, his face expressionless.

As an expert cultivator who had cultivated in seclusion for decades, these external factors naturally would not affect him. In his opinion, Xu Taiping would definitely lose in a short while.

He wished that the cheers would be louder now. It would be more interesting to slap his face later on.

Ten o'clock, as everyone was looking forward to it.

With the command of a certain body committee official, the final of the world's strongest martial arts gathering's Chinese Preliminaries had officially begun!

In the first match, the first player would fight against Batu.

He was a warrior of the Ancient Meng Kingdom, and was very sturdy, but not as strong as a westerner. He had a lot of flesh, and he looked like fat, but Xu Taiping knew that underneath that flesh were muscles stronger than anyone else.

Xu Taiping had seen Batu's fighting strength before, sixty-nine thousand nine hundred and eighty thousand, just a little bit away from seventy thousand, while the fighting strength of One Height Lord was just over seventy thousand. Honestly speaking, the two's fighting strength were about the same, and if Batu was hiding something, then the outcome of this battle could not be determined.

With the command of the referee, the match began.

Batu was the first to launch an attack against Lord One. It seemed like he had a lot of attack power, but Lord One was very calm. He continuously used his skills to deal with him.

From Ba Tu's attack, Xu Taiping could tell that Ba Tu had been hiding something, and his true combat strength was definitely over 70,000.

But even so, after two minutes of fierce fighting, Batu was defeated.

The reason why Batu had lost wasn't because he wasn't strong enough, but because One Conferred Knight was simply too strong.

The strength displayed by Master Yi Heng far exceeded his fighting strength on the Martial Saint Ranking of Huaxia. Moreover, from Xu Taiping's point of view, the master Yi Heng today was even stronger than when he met him in the Chinese Preliminaries.

One Lord Heng did not kill Ba Tu, he only beat Ba Tu out of the fighting stage.

This move moved the people who supported Batu, and they even applauded him.

Although Lord One Heng appeared indifferent to fame and fortune, he was still very comfortable being applauded. When he went down the stage, he even said a few words to Batu just to encourage him.

However, because Lord One Heng was used to teaching people a lesson, when he said those words of encouragement, it was as if he was lecturing Batu, giving him a feeling of superiority. This made Batu very angry, but after considering how he couldn't beat him, he could only suppress his anger.

The second match was between Xu Taiping and Gold Clock Zhao.

After all, Xu Taiping was only the number four seed, not the number one seed. As such, he was not qualified to be the champion of the competition, and only the God of Heaven competition was qualified to be the champion.

When Xu Taiping walked onto the battling platform, the crowd erupted in thunderous applause, as well as cheers and cheers.

These voices instantly concealed the voices of the people of the Ancient Meng Country that had applauded Lord One Heng.

Jin Zhongzheng followed Xu Taiping up to the battling platform.

The people of Pickles Country were cheering, and there were also some drumbeats.

Because there were very few Chinese on the scene, the pickle nation had specially brought in their strong points.

However, even if they were beating the gongs and drums, their cheers couldn't compare to the Chinese people's cheers.

On the battling platform, Xu Taiping and Jin Zhong Zhao stood facing each other.

Xu Taiping suddenly knelt down on one knee, patting the ground with his hand, and then raised his finger to look at the sky, after which, he retracted his hand and patted his own chest.

Xu Taiping's actions made everyone confused, but everyone quickly reacted.

The place where Xu Taiping had knelt down on one knee was the place where Zhang Yuanqing had been killed by Jin Zhong Zhao yesterday. Perhaps he was doing this to pay his respects to Zhang Yuanqing.

Jin Zhongzheng had also seen through Xu Taiping's intentions. He smiled and said, "Don't be in such a hurry to remember that blind man. You'll also die in a bit."

"I still have the same words. If I can let you leave this place alive, I'll use your surname." Xu Taiping said.

"Then get ready to share my surname with me." Jin Zhong Zhao said.

"Are both contestants ready!" the referee asked.

Xu Taiping nodded, "Yes!"

"Yes." Jin Zhong Zhao also said.

"In that case, let me announce the official start of the second round of the Asian preliminaries of the World's Strongest Martial Arts Competition!" the referee shouted.

With the command of the referee, Xu Taiping and Jin Chongguo both disappeared from their seats at the same time.

By the time people's eyes caught sight of the two of them, they had already arrived less than a meter away from each other.

Xu Taiping threw a punch towards Jin Zhongzheng, and Jin Zhongzheng swung his leg high in the air towards Xu Taiping.

One threw a punch and the other a kick. Their fists and kicks collided violently in the air.

A strong wave of air gushed out from the point of impact.

Xu Taiping's fist was incredibly steady.

Jin Zhongzheng's sweep of the leg was as stable as a rock.

This was the first time the two of them had fought to a standstill!

This caused many people who thought that Xu Taiping would be beaten up to be disappointed. The difference in combat strength between these two was 7000, how could they fight evenly on their first try?

"Your strength is much greater than I thought. It seems that you have still hidden your strength!" Jin Chongguo grinned.

"You are much weaker than I thought." Xu Taiping said expressionlessly.

"Arrogant fellow!" Jin Zhongzheng roared in rage, his legs suddenly exerted force!

The powerful force actually moved a little bit further away from Xu Taiping's fist.

Bang!

With a muffled sound, Xu Taiping's fist was swept away. Then, Jin Zhongzheng spun 360 degrees on the spot, and another powerful whip kick swept towards Xu Taiping!
