Gao Wu: Ten years of sparring experience, one move and the world knows him

Chapter 227 A Chaotic Era is Approaching, Chaos Has Already Begun

Zhao Rui was eating noodles when he saw this. He casually waved his hand, and a surge of true energy blew out, deflecting the direction in which the man was landing to the side.

With a cry of pain, the man fell flat on his face.

This man is clearly terrible at martial arts.

However, the woman's performance was beyond Zhao Rui's expectations. He thought she was a clueless and naive girl who didn't know anything, but he didn't expect her to be so capable.

Unfortunately, even a powerful dragon can't suppress a local snake.

Without a qualitative change in martial arts skills, even the most powerful skills can be compensated for by sheer quantity.

The man scrambled to his feet and charged headlong into one of the desert bandits without hesitation.

"Damn it, you noisy pretty boy."

The bandit was furious, especially seeing that the man's martial arts skills were so poor, even worse than his woman's, he naturally felt contempt for him.

Seeing him rushing towards him, he grabbed him with his large hand, about to slap him away.

As things took an unexpected turn, the man tripped over his own feet and surprisingly "used"...

They mastered the long-lost martial arts technique, "Flat-Laying Wild Goose Style".

By making a fool of himself, he not only avoided the thug's scathing attack, but also managed to hit the thug's sore spot.

No matter how skilled the bandit was, he didn't take this man seriously. Little did he expect that he would be caught off guard and suffer a setback.

She cried out in pain and bent over involuntarily.

When compared with experts, there is no room for the slightest carelessness.

The formation of seven people was already on par with that of a woman, but now that the bandit had suddenly lost his position, the flaws in the formation were exposed.

The woman was no weak little lady. Seeing this, a fierce glint appeared in her eyes. She suddenly struck out with a palm, then turned and delivered a powerful elbow strike, sending the displaced bandit flying backward, coughing up blood.

After breaking the seven-person formation, the remaining six people instantly lost the strength to contend with the woman.

The woman moved with great force, quickly knocking all six men to the ground.

The bald, broad-nosed man was terrified upon seeing this and hurriedly turned and fled in a disheveled state.

How could the woman let him escape? She took three steps at a time, using the tables and chairs as footholds, and leaped into the air, kicking him against the door and smashing it to pieces.

But because of this kick, the bald man had already rushed out of the restaurant. He quickly endured the pain and ran away as fast as he could.

Seeing that their leader had run away, the other seven dared not linger and all broke through the windows to escape, but their directions were not the same.

The woman was about to chase after him when her boyfriend quickly got up and stopped her.

"Don't go, it's too dangerous. Let's get out of here right away."

The man's face was deathly pale.

Are you alright?

The woman asked with concern, her gaze sweeping over the man, and said with a hint of happiness, "Thanks to you, otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to handle them. Honey, you actually have quite a talent for martial arts."

Upon hearing this, the man looked distressed and hurriedly grabbed the woman, trying to leave.

Before they could even move, a group of customers who were originally inside the restaurant rushed to the entrance and blocked their way aggressively.

"You can't leave! If you leave, they won't be able to find you and will take their anger out on us."

"That's right, if you're going to play the hero, you have to play it to the end. You can't leave."

"We still need to do business along this route; you can't leave. What will we do if you leave?"

The overwhelming outcry left the young couple momentarily stunned. The woman, enraged, yelled, "You bastards, do you think I'm easy to bully?"

She was about to attack when the man quickly grabbed her, saying, "Let's call the police right away."

After saying that, the two stepped back slightly, and the man took the opportunity to make a phone call to the police.

The call was answered quickly, and the man explained the situation in a fast-paced manner.

The other side immediately said they would send police officers.

Ask the two to wait patiently.

With the police officer's promise, the man felt much more at ease. Holding his girlfriend's hand, he comforted her:

'

The police will be here soon. Don't worry.

"I'm not worried about anything. But you, don't be afraid, I'm here for you."

The people surrounding the door breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that the people were no longer leaving, and they all brought stools to stand guard at the door and windows.

"What a bunch of bastards."

The woman cursed angrily, her swollen chest heaving violently.

Time passed by, and after about ten minutes, the sound of car horns could be heard, with as many as seven or eight cars.

The man quickly stood up, his face full of anticipation, and said, "Is it the police? Great, let's get out of this awful place right away."

"Why isn't the alarm on?"

The man had just uttered his question when a group of men and women dressed similarly to the previous group suddenly surged into the main entrance.

One by one, they rushed in, each wielding a sharp blade, their imposing manner overwhelming.

Several diners who couldn't dodge in time were kicked aside, looking quite disheveled.

"Sir, we stopped them from leaving."

A shifty-eyed man hunched over, fawningly approaching and saying ingratiatingly.

"Get out of here."

The leader of the thugs kicked him aside and led his men straight to the young couple.

"Was it the two of them?"

The bandit leader turned his head and asked.

"Big brother, it's the two of them."

The bald man who had fled earlier immediately stopped standing up, pointed at the young couple, and sneered.

"Trying to be a hero and report to the police? Don't you even know where you are? This is a lawless area; who dares to bother us?"

The bandit leader nodded, sized up the young couple, and smirked, saying, "You've got some skills. You must find it more enjoyable than the average woman. You pretty boy, you're really lucky."

"you----"

The woman was furious, but before he could make a move, the bandit leader waved his hand, and dozens of men instantly surrounded the two of them.

Enraged, the woman slapped the bandit leader.

The bandit leader concentrated his energy and struck out with his palm as well. A wave of energy surged between the two, causing the people around them to sway.

"Good tactic."

The bandit leader narrowed his eyes, exerted a little force, and the woman groaned, staggering back several steps.

The woman's face turned deathly pale instantly. Clearly, in the previous contest, her strength was inferior to her opponent's; her opponent was at least a high-level Grandmaster.

At this moment, she couldn't help but regret her overconfidence in not running away with her boyfriend immediately.

"You guys are doing this—"

"What about us? We don't care about those above us, we don't care about those below us, we're the kings of heaven."

After the bandit leader finished speaking, he spurred his horse and shouted, "Arrest them! Today's protection fee is increased to five thousand. Damn it, a bunch of goats, daring to boast to me."

"If you want to take this path, we won't stop you; you're all in cahoots."

Upon hearing this, the diners who had previously stopped the two men to take credit turned pale. They clearly hadn't expected that after their efforts, they would have to pay extra.

He immediately glared at the couple in the room with resentment, blaming them for meddling in his business.

"Haha, don't hurt this woman. I need to give her a good makeover. It's been a long time since I've encountered such a spirited horse."

O

The bandit leader, a lewd grin on his face, rolled up his sleeves, preparing to step forward and capture the woman.

At this moment, the woman was fighting against these ruthless bandits while also protecting her boyfriend. She could only exert about 50-60% of her full strength.

Seeing this, the bandit leader swayed and seized the woman's opening with a powerful grappling move, instantly grabbing her wrist.

At the same time, he raised his knee and thrust it upwards, pinning the woman to the ground with a backhand motion.

The woman tried to struggle, but the leader immediately struck her pressure points and grabbed her by the neck, lifting her up.

Her graceful figure was on full display before everyone's eyes at this moment.

"That pitiful look is truly captivating."

"Big Boss, how about we get a reward later?"

"Okay, I'll wait until I'm tired of it."

The bandit leader spoke with smug satisfaction.

"Release him."

The man coughed up blood, clearly having been badly beaten by the thugs, but he was still struggling to rescue his girlfriend.

"Don't kill him, keep him alive."

The bandit leader laughed heartily, in a very good mood.

"Hurry up and take the money, I need to go back and enjoy my beauty."

Upon hearing this, the henchmen scattered to the surroundings and began collecting protection money from each of them.

"Ugh!"

Just then, a sigh rang out.

The sound was soft, but it reached everyone's ears clearly.

"A small inn reveals the true nature of people and society."

The voice continued, and this time, everyone recognized the speaker and turned to look.

Then a handsome young man with an imposing presence rose from the dining table and walked towards the group, speaking slowly and deliberately.

This person was naturally Zhao Rui. After observing coldly for a long time, he was not in a good mood.

Before the war even started, the world had already begun to descend into chaos.

Even these notorious desert bandits openly plunder and extort protection money.

They even committed arson, murder, and looting; the extent of their crimes is unknown.

He was not some great saint who saved the world, but both in his past life and in the first half of this life, he lived in a relatively peaceful era.

This made him feel somewhat heavy-hearted.

Even in peacetime, there is still class exploitation, a gap between the rich and the poor, the oppression of people by those in power, and even numerous evil deeds.

But at least on the surface, ordinary people can still live and work in peace and contentment, and even when they come to desolate deserts, Gobi, mountains and dense forests, they are protected by security personnel.

But this is only the beginning of the chaos, and it's already like this. What will happen when the world is in chaos in the future?

Are human lives as worthless as grass?

"Oh? You want to take charge?"

The bandit leader frowned slightly and spoke in a low voice.

"Oh? You mean I don't need to take your money?"

"Which faction are you from? If we're old friends, then this money is naturally unnecessary. But which sect are you a disciple of, or perhaps an official?"

The bandit leader was not a reckless person. Seeing Zhao Rui's fearlessness, he became more wary.

After listening, Zhao Rui couldn't help but sneer. Sure enough, in any era, those with power, money, and fists always carry weight.

Fortunately, he had one advantage in this life.

"Never mind, it's not good to talk too much."

Zhao Rui smiled nonchalantly, and with a flicker, he disappeared from everyone's sight.

This scene immediately terrified everyone.

They all looked around.

Where?

"Where?"

"what!"

"He's over here!"

"They're here too."

A series of screams rang out, and the thugs fell to the ground one after another.

"Master, spare my life! Young hero, spare my life!"

Having witnessed Zhao Rui's abilities, these people no longer dared to be arrogant. They all knelt down and begged Zhao Rui to spare them.

Zhao Rui didn't care about any of that; in no time at all, he had knocked all the thugs to the ground.

Even a bandit leader who was a high-level Grandmaster couldn't withstand a single move before being knocked to the ground.

Everyone present was stunned by what they saw.

The woman, now free, stared in astonishment at the rather refined and elegant-looking man before her.

"What level of strength did he possess to fall to the ground?"

"I'm still far from good enough. Alas, my arrogance almost led to my utter ruin."

A glimmer of hope suddenly rose in the woman's heart. Even though she had a fiery temper and was somewhat stubborn, she had to start reflecting on her actions.

"Whether you kill me or torture me, it's up to you."

After Zhao Rui finished speaking, he grabbed the bandit leader and walked straight toward the gate, which was now missing its door panel.

With each step, they disappeared through the doorway.

"senior!"

The woman chased after him out the gate, but when she looked around, Zhao Rui was nowhere to be seen.

Her eyes held an indescribable melancholy, her chest heaving slightly for a moment before she returned to the hotel dejectedly.

When she entered the shop and saw the group of diners huddled in the corner, aiding and abetting the evildoers, she couldn't help but feel angry.

This anger was even deeper than towards those ruthless bandits.

"Heroine, spare my life!"

"Spare me, spare my sister!"

Fifteen minutes later, the camel caravan in front of the hotel resumed its journey.

This time, however, the journey takes a detour towards the Central Plains.

After the woman drove the camel caravan away, a group of diners and ruthless bandits rushed out of the restaurant.

The bandits, terrified like quails, fled silently back to their hideout.

"They didn't kill us? Haha, what an idiot. You bitch, once I find some powerful experts, I'll definitely teach you a lesson."

The bald, ruthless bandit, who had taken off running, was overjoyed.

But his joy lasted only a few seconds before his expression froze.

"What happened? Why is my internal energy gone?"

The other bandits looked at each other in bewilderment, and then tried to use their internal energy.

It turned out that none of them could actually circulate their cultivation techniques.

"My martial arts!"

The bald man's face turned deathly pale instantly.

The Gobi Desert stretches for thousands of miles, with yellow sand filling the sky.

Zhao Rui looked down at the area shrouded in yellow dust and reached out to wake the bandit leader he was carrying.

-

"Young master, young master, spare my life!"

The bandit leader, slowly waking up, looked around in a daze and instantly broke out in a cold sweat.

This is, at an altitude of 10,000 meters?

The bandit leader's eyes widened, and his legs trembled involuntarily.

He was only a Grandmaster-level martial artist and did not have the ability to fly.

"Tell me your background, your connections, and your purpose."

Zhao Rui spoke calmly, as a biting wind blew in his face, brushing against his body and causing his clothes to flutter.

"Young, young hero! Where should I even begin?"

"what!"

As soon as he finished speaking, his body suddenly sank down and he fell straight down.

"I'll talk, I'll talk."

The bandit leader nearly fainted as he roared, finally being grabbed back by Zhao Rui.

"Young hero, spare my life! I'm just a lowly henchman, obeying the orders of my leader, a powerful figure from the Great Shang Dynasty—"

Braving the cold wind, the bandit leader explained his situation in detail.
