Chapter 3 The Martial Arts Tournament, the Extremely Confident Japanese
The Jingwumen team continued to advance in the mountains and tsunamis throughout Shanghai. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
For the sake of so-called fairness, the venue of this contest was not set in Jingwumen, nor in the Hongkou Dojo built by the Japanese, but in the relatively neutral French Concession.
In order to propagate the use of force, the Japanese made great efforts, not only inviting the consuls of Britain, the United States, France, and Germany in Shanghai, but also the mayor of Shanghai, the president of the Shanghai Chamber of Commerce, reporters from major newspapers, and Major General Mao Zai, the boss of the state government and military in Shanghai, to accompany them.
It can be seen that they are full of confidence in this competition.
It's just that everyone is wondering, where does their confidence come from?
Huo Yuanjia had defeated Western Hercules in his early years, and then single-handedly founded Jingwumen, which has been internationally renowned for so many years, but Japan's Akutagawa Ryuichi is just a junior of the Black Dragon Society, although he is the owner of the Hongkou Dojo, but he has no outstanding record before, how can he have the confidence to defeat Huo Yuanjia?
Without mentioning these questions, on the rostrum at this moment, Feng Jingyao, the president of the Shanghai Chamber of Commerce, was greeting all kinds of people, and praised Huo Yuanjia's arrival repeatedly, without any pretentiousness.
After that, the mayor of Shanghai, Major General Mao Zai, and other people on the Chinese side also stepped forward to greet Huo Yuanjia, although they may not know Huo Yuanjia, but at this time they all stood firmly on the side of Jingwumen.
In addition to these Baidao officials, Hong Shouting, the head of the patrol house of the French Concession and the boss of the Green Gang, as well as the bigwigs of the Axe Gang, who are growing stronger and stronger, also appeared on the rostrum watching the battle.
Black and white complement each other, water milk? Blending and harmonious everywhere is also a unique scenery, but from Qin Jihuan's eyes, these characters present are really star-studded.
In addition to these Japanese specially invited to witness, of course, there are also those Shanghai people who came spontaneously to cheer for Huo Yuanjia, because it was an open-air competition, so it is not an exaggeration to describe it as a sea of people.
The rooftops, streets and even windows of the nearby buildings were crowded with people, and all kinds of people surrounded the ring of the competition, which was indeed a great event.
Most of these people don't know Huo Yuanjia, and they don't know who his opponent Akutagawa Ryuichi is, but they have all heard that Huo Yuanjia once defeated a Western Hercules and became famous in the world.
They don't know what the existence of Huajin, Hudan and Gangqi is.
No, it's not all unaware.
Directly opposite the rostrum, in the window on the fourth floor of the best building, there was such a couple standing in the window, and on the bed behind them, there were two foreigners who were knocked unconscious and fell softly together.
Both of them are middle-aged, the woman is obviously fat, but the man looks thin, the only thing in common is that both of them look extraordinarily energetic.
The man was dressed in silky satin, like pajamas, and the woman, although she was full, had a cigarette in her mouth and a lot of hairpins on her head, which looked really weird.
However, if Qin Jihuan is here, he will definitely recognize these two people as the famous Condor Heroes on the rivers and lakes back then, and now the charter man and charter wife of the Pig Qiang Walled City, after all, the image of these two people is too deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, in reality, in his world, there should be no one who doesn't know, right?
They were already in the realm of Baodan, and they were not interested in the competition during the transformation period, and naturally they didn't think of coming to watch the battle in person, but it was strange that the Japanese made it too big this time, so big that they heard about it every day without going out.
For the sake of Huo Yuanjia, who is in the realm of transformation, it shouldn't be so much trouble, so these two people came here secretly to see what the Japanese want to do.
Although they have withdrawn from the rivers and lakes, they just do not walk around the rivers and lakes, but for the Japanese, they are still full of vigilance and defense, like all Chinese, oh, except for traitors, they are not Chinese.
Unlike this pair of great masters of the Bao Dan Realm, who were hidden in the open, those martial artists below the Transformation Stage did not have the strength to come and go, or even fight against firearms, so they could only mix in the crowd.
The coolies who were in the same city as the Condor Heroes were strong, and the fried ghosts and the tailors were each crowded into different places by the surrounding crowds.
In addition to these few, there are also some notable people who are also in different places, and their purpose is to watch the battle, and then to see what the Japanese want to do.
"Brother Niu! How can there be so many people?! ”
"Needless to say! This is Huo Ye of Jingwumen facing the Japanese samurai! The whole people of Shanghai, as long as they can walk away, are basically here! Are there many people, you say? ”
In the crowded crowd, three figures, one tall and two short, were squeezed around, but under the leadership of the tall young man, they walked forward with difficulty.
"No! It's going to squeeze me to death! Big Brother Ma save me! ”
The skinny one of the short ones was so squeezed that he couldn't help but scream.
"Fritters? Don't squeeze it! ”
Seeing this, the tall man had to stop his steps forward, and with a strong stretch of his arms, he pushed away the flow of people around him and rescued the little friend, and the other short man beside him saw this, and couldn't help but roll his eyes, and suddenly said in a loud voice,
"Everybody borrowed! This is Huo Daxia's disciple! Please make it easy for everyone! ”
Seeing the power of this young man, these ordinary people subconsciously chose to believe it, and couldn't help but get out of the way.
"Brother Niu, how can you deceive people? How come I am Huo Daxia's disciple? ”
"Humph! If it weren't for me Niu Sanguang, would you be able to squeeze in? ”
Niu Sanguang, who successfully came to the ring, glared, and replied angrily, before he continued to reassure,
"Besides, did you insult you by saying that you are Huo Daxia's disciple?"
"That's not what I meant, I mean,"
"Shhhh Don't talk! See! Someone is coming up! ”
Niu Sanguang suddenly waved his hand and stopped him from speaking, because a straight figure had already appeared in the ring.
"Silence!"
An emotionless voice came, as if it was a slap in the face, and everyone at the scene was stunned, and it fell silent in an instant.
"Husband?"
The charter lady looked at the man who took the lead in the ring with a solemn face.
"Hudan realm."
The charter man also had the same expression, but they were not nervous because of the sudden appearance of a Bao Dan realm, because any of them were not weaker than each other.
"Today is a major event between Japan and China, and the martial artists of both sides will hold a decisive battle here."
The man spoke in Chinese, not very proficient, word by word, and everyone could hear that this product must be a Japanese.
It's just that I obviously feel that this person's voice is not loud, but it can make everyone present hear it clearly, this skill is really powerful.
Like the brothers around him, Qin Jihuan had already discovered the extraordinariness of this man, first of course, because he looked familiar, and then because he was already in the realm of transforming strength, so he realized that the man's drink just now was definitely not something that could be done during the transformation period.
"Master, who is this person?"
Taking advantage of the man's speech, Qin Jihuan stepped forward to inquire about the master.
"If you read it right, he should be Japan's number one master, the invincible big apprentice, Jin Taibao."
Because Huo Yuanjia stayed in Jingwumen all the year round and dealt with all kinds of characters, he was much more informed than the reclusive charter wife, so he recognized each other.
Looking at this person, Huo Yuanjia's face couldn't help but be a lot more solemn, the Japanese even sent out the Baodan realm, it seems that for this big battle, they are really determined to win.
"The Golden Taipo?"
Qin Jihuan looked at this Jin Taibao who looked like "Situ Haonan", and couldn't help but suddenly realize that it was him.
Turning his head to look at the Japanese phalanx, he saw that in the most conspicuous position, in addition to the most recognizable one, known as a robot, Tsuyoshi Fujita with an expressionless face, Qin Jihuan also saw a woman in a black robe, who was somewhat similar to the Michiko dressed before.
After seeing the woman's appearance clearly, Qin Jihuan knew that she was the younger sister of the Golden Taibao, Mu Shura.
As if feeling Qin Jihuan's gaze, Mu Shura turned his head suddenly, just in time to meet Qin Jihuan's gaze.
Qin Jihuan only felt a slight pain in his eyes in an instant, and hurriedly closed it, and at the same time silently recited the Maoshan Spiritual Cultivation Method before he recovered, and couldn't help but be shocked in his heart, this woman, such a terrifying spiritual power, is it also the realm of Baodan?
This invincible is really powerful, he actually taught two apprentices of the Baodan realm, but after thinking about it, compared to Jin Ao's apprentices, ghost servants and Hua Yingying, they are still a little worse.
It's just, why didn't you see that Akutagawa Ryuichi? Isn't he going to fight Master?
"Without further ado, Huo Yuanjia from the Chinese side will challenge Tsuyoshi Fujita from our Great Japanese Empire."
was about to ask Huo Yuanjia, but the Jin Taibao on the stage had already announced the start of the competition.
And when they heard about Master's opponent, everyone, including Qin Jihuan, was in an uproar, because Japan had previously announced that it was going to challenge Huo Yuanjia, but it had always been Akutagawa Ryuichi of Hongkou Dojo!
"Wait! Your Excellency Jin Taibao, I remember what you said at the beginning, the person who wants to challenge Huo Daxia, isn't this what is just right? ”
Hong Shouting, who was sitting on the rostrum, relied on the support of the French and the landlord, so he stood up directly and questioned, he didn't know that this Jin Taibao was actually in the realm of Baodan, and it would be effortless to kill him.
But it's no wonder he has this kind of confidence, Japan is not the Japan of a few years later, and Britain and France have not been so badly oppressed by Germany, so in the international community, they are still relatively face-saving, and even the Japanese who have always been arrogant do not dare to offend at will.
"I said Lao Hong, are you old and confused? Still haven't woken up? Who goes to war is a matter for the Japanese and the Jingwumen, what do you interject? ”
Jin Taipo did not answer Hong Shouting's words, for a person in the realm of Baodan, he came to power before just to suppress the uproar, and by the way, to show the force of the Japanese Empire, he would not care about France, and the life and death of ordinary people.
But the Jin Taipo doesn't care, it doesn't mean that everyone else doesn't care, no, the Japanese haven't spoken out yet, and in the position of the Axe Gang, a middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes can't wait to stand up and provoke Hong Shouting.
