After learning Zhao Qingzhu's identity, the old Taoist priest from Wudang was already intimidated. He knew that he could never be a match for the legendary girl in green.
Although the girl in green has been missing for three years, her reputation and legend still linger in the martial arts world, a shadow that many masters cannot shake off.
At that time, Zhao Qingzhu was only a teenager, yet he roamed the martial arts world with his powerful skills. Many martial arts practitioners who coveted his beauty ultimately suffered the consequences and met a tragic end.
Three years have passed, and the person who was once ranked third in the entire martial arts world is now gone.
As one gets older, one's martial arts skills will only improve. However, many highly skilled martial artists in the martial arts world have already grown old. Just how powerful Zhao Qingzhu really is is now unknown.
At least for now, the old Taoist priest from Wudang knew he was no match for Zhao Qingzhu, so in order not to lose too embarrassingly, he fought Zhao Qingzhu for another dozen or so moves.
Seeing that he was about to become familiar with the place, he quickly spoke up:
"Wait a minute, this old Taoist priest is too old, I admit defeat today."
This old Taoist priest certainly knew how to save face for himself, saying that he was old and had a good age, thus giving himself an excuse and avoiding making things too embarrassing.
Zhao Qingzhu clapped her hands and said:
"Even if you were ten years younger, you still wouldn't be a match for me."
She didn't give this guy any face, and her words made the old Taoist priest cough awkwardly for a while before he obediently walked off the stage.
The crowd of martial arts practitioners present sighed in disbelief. Clearly, Zhao Qingzhu's victory had shocked everyone, and most of them were also wondering who this so-called woman in green was.
However, some people, though they didn't recognize the woman in green, knew Zhao Qingzhu's current identity, and spoke up:
"I don't know who the woman in green is, but I've seen her before. She is the wife of the leader of the Tianlong Gang. When the various sects were besieging the Demonic Sect, she once fought against the five elders of the Demonic Sect all by herself."
She displayed first-rate, even top-tier, strength at that time, so it's not surprising that she possessed such formidable martial arts skills.
Once someone mentioned it, everyone suddenly remembered and recognized Zhao Qingzhu as the wife of the leader of the Tianmen Gang.
At this moment, Zhu Yunwen, who was in the crowd, was also recognized as the leader of the Tianlong Gang.
The Tianlong Gang has been incredibly influential in the martial arts world lately, and after making its mark on the Demonic Sect, it has become involved in many affairs.
For example, the reason why various sects later dealt with the Xiaoyao Sect was because Zhu Yunwen brought the Demonic Sect's resources to the Xiaoyao Sect, which brought disaster upon the sect.
Some say that the Tianlong Gang was created by the Hengshan Sect, but the Hengshan Sect was later destroyed, and the Tianlong Gang did not appear to help the Hengshan Sect.
This rumor seems to have fallen apart on its own.
Although there are many things that are unclear to everyone, it must be confirmed that the destruction of the Xiaoyao Sect was not a conspiracy by the Hengshan Sect.
Because the Hengshan Sect and the Tianlong Gang don't seem to have much of a connection.
Regardless of the circumstances, the Tianlong Gang must have played a crucial role behind a series of events in the martial arts world.
Therefore, many people in the martial arts world suspect that the Tianlong Gang was behind all of this.
After being recognized, Zhu Yunwen smiled slightly and slowly walked down to the bottom of the arena.
Since he'd already been recognized, he stopped pretending and just swaggered around watching his wife continue fighting.
He didn't care about the gossip of the people in the martial arts world around him, even though everyone thought that the Tianlong Gang must be involved in a lot of things behind the scenes.
But now there are no sects that dare to stand up and criticize Zhu Yunwen.
As everyone knows, the Tianlong Gang, although it has only appeared once or twice, is very powerful. It was able to seize the benefits from those sects in the Demonic Sect, which is enough to show that the Tianlong Gang has at least the strength of a first-class force.
Since no decent second-rate force could be brought out on the scene, how could anyone present dare to offend the Tianlong Gang?
Wudang and Shaolin don't have much enmity with the Tianlong Gang. It's just that some Wudang disciples and some high-ranking members had some conflicts with the Tianlong Gang.
But this is clearly not the time to talk about these things.
After winning a round, Zhao Qingzhu surveyed the entire room and said calmly:
"Who else wants to fight me?"
Zhao Qingzhu's appearance gave many people in the martial arts world a misconception.
Of course, most of these people who have these misconceptions are unaware of Zhao Qingzhu's past reputation, nor do they know that Zhao Qingzhu fought five elders alone when she destroyed the Demonic Sect.
Instead, it was some people in the martial arts world who didn't know about these things. They thought that Zhao Qingzhu might not be that powerful, and that she might have taken advantage of the fact that the Wudang elders were tired.
Immediately, a young swordsman carrying a long sword stepped forward. He looked at Zhao Qingzhu and thought she was very beautiful, so he said very politely:
"Young lady, I would like to learn from you."
He behaved very humbly and politely, which clearly showed that he had feelings for Zhao Qingzhu and thought that if he could be favored by Zhao Qingzhu, it would definitely be a legendary tale in the martial arts world.
And I will be very happy.
However, Zhao Qingzhu didn't bother to look at him. She simply raised her hand and threw the longsword away forcefully.
The longsword flashed through the air and thrust towards the young swordsman. Seeing that Qingzhu underestimated him, he frowned, drew his own longsword, and prepared to block the sword that Zhao Qingzhu had thrown at him.
When he struck with the sword, he realized just how powerful it was. The impact made his hand ache, and he was sent flying backward.
The longsword that Zhao Qingzhu threw drew an arc in the air and returned to Zhao Qingzhu's hand.
It must be said that Zhao Qingzhu used this technique to its fullest extent, not only injuring her opponent with just the right amount of force, but also allowing the longsword to return by the force of the impact.
The man fell off the stage, a truly humiliating defeat, as his opponent had simply tossed his sword lightly and defeated him.
He had previously been smug and boastful, and this sudden change made him blush with embarrassment.
This also made many people present who thought they had a chance to go up and try immediately give up the idea.
Zhao Qingzhu is truly powerful. After everyone present dared not make any rash moves, almost everyone turned their attention to the old monks from Shaolin Temple.
Clearly, the pressure was on the Shaolin Temple, and the old monk with white eyebrows at the Shaolin Temple was naturally aware of Zhao Qingzhu's reputation.
He also fought with Zhao Qingzhu a few years ago, and was completely outmatched by Zhao Qingzhu.
So now that he knows the other person is the girl in green from back then, he immediately becomes a little nervous.
But now he's being forced into this situation; he has no choice but to go up there, otherwise not only will he lose face, but the entire Shaolin Temple will lose face.
It's much better to lose fair and square than to not even dare to go up.
Thinking of this, he sighed, then slammed his staff into the ground with great force, and his entire body shot into the sky with incredible power, leaping onto the arena.
