　　“Huh？”
　　Ye Qiu let out a surprised sound, and surprise appeared in his eyes.
Ye Qiu was surprised. He knew Han Long’s martial arts skills very well. Han Long could definitely rank among the top of the Tiger Ranking. But unexpectedly, he couldn’t even block Xiao Zhan’s one strike.
Moreover, Xiao Zhan attacked from the front.Logically speaking Han Long saw Xiao Zhan’s attacking method and should have been able to avoid it.
　　But the result was that Han Long didn’t avoid it.
　　Ye Qiu knew that it wasn’t that Han Long didn’t want to avoid it, but that he simply didn’t have time.
Because Xiao Zhan’s speed was too fast!
　　“This kid is a bit interesting.” Ye Qiu muttered in his heart.
After knocking Han Long off, Xiao Zhan stood where he was, hooked his fingers at Han Long with a proud face, full of provocation.
　　“Hmph！”
　　Han Long snorted coldly, quickly got up from the ground, and rushed over with his fists clenched.
This time, Xiao Zhan stood still and didn’t move. He only counterattacked after Han Long approached.
　　Lift　the　arm.
　　Elbow up.
　　In　one　go.
　　“Bang！”
Han Long’s fist hit Xiao Zhan’s elbow, and he immediately stepped back six steps with a “whiff whiff whiff” sound.
“Is that all you’ve got? You still said you would cripple me. You’re really not afraid of biting off more than you can chew when you talk big said disdainfully.
　　Han Long was a bit shocked.
The first time he was shot off by Xiao Zhan could be said that he wasn’t prepared well and suffered a loss due to carelessness.
As for the second time, it was Han Long who took the initiative to attack. He was prepared, but unexpectedly, the force on Xiao Zhan’s elbow was very powerful, and he was still shaken back several steps.
“Han Long, be serious. Otherwise, you won’t be able to hold on for a few moves under Xiao Zhan’s hands,” Ye Qiu said.
Hearing this, Han Long’s face turned cold, and he said to Xiao Zhan, “Next, I will be serious.”
Xiao Zhan grinned and said: “Just being serious is not enough. I hope you will go all out. Otherwise, be careful that I beat you until you look for your teeth all over the ground.”
　　“Courting death！”
Han Long was furious and rushed towards Xiao Zhan again with his fist clenched.
“Come on!” Xiao Zhan also moved and rushed towards Han Long with his fist clenched.
　　Bang！
　　The two fists collided in the air, making a dull sound like a stormy sea.
Han Long’s arm trembled, and Xiao Zhan’s shoulder also shrugged.
　　With this punch, the two were evenly matched.
　　“Again.”
When Han Long’s voice fell, he quickly withdrew his fist, and then rushed out with a “whoosh” sound. Using his clever body skills, he continuously bombarded with more than thirty punches around him.
　　His moves were very simple, without any fancy movements.
　　Han Long was like a high-speed running power machine, as if his strength would never be exhausted, and he kept punching.
It can be seen that this time he has shown his true ability and wants to suffer a little.
Facing Han Long’s stormy attack, Xiao Zhan defended calmly, with the meaning of “let him be strong “, the breeze blows the mountain”.
　　Motionless as a mountain！
At the same time, Xiao Zhan’s eyes also became sharp, like an eagle in the dark night, looking for prey.
Ye Qiu understood that Xiao Zhan was not looking for prey, but Han Long’s flaw.
　　After Han Long threw more than a hundred punches, his speed gradually slowed down. Just at this time——
　　Boom！
Xiao Zhan’s eyes widened, his body tensed up suddenly, his horse stance squatted down, his strength gathered in his arms and he quickly pushed forward horizontally.
　　Deng！
　　Deng！
　　Deng！
　　Han Long was pushed away by this huge force, his body staggered back several steps, his knees sank, and the leather shoes rubbed against the floor and made a “quack” sound.
he could stand still. Xiao Zhan had already bullied him.
　　Hug the elbow. Pick the elbow. Sink the elbow.
　　Hang　the　hammer.
　　Top　heart　elbow.
　　Turn　around　elbow.
　　Push　back　elbow.
When Xiao Zhan’s last move fell, Han Long’s body was like a ball, flying out and falling to the ground with a “bang”.
　　Suddenly, there was a fishy sweetness in his throat, and a liquid couldn’t help but spurt out.
　　This blow injured Han Long.
　　Gulp！
Han Long forcefully swallowed the blood in his throat back, and it was only after a long while that he looked up at Xiao Zhan.
　　I didn’t expect that you would actually know Baji Quan.
　　Baji Quan is a kind of boxing method in traditional Chinese martial arts. The so-called ‘baji’ is derived from ‘the nine states and eight extremes between heaven and earth’ in ‘Huainanzi · Zhui Xing Xun’.
　　The boxing method is named after ‘baji’, which means the first in the universe and the world.
　　Although it is a bit exaggerated, the status of Baji Quan can be seen from another poem.
　　Civilization has Tai Chi to pacify the world, and martial arts has Baji to determine the universe！
　　The moves of Baji Quan are simple and unadorned, pursuing fierceness and hardness, and it is a very practical boxing method.
　　Therefore, in the past, the army would practice some moves of Baji Quan. Even today, the moves of grappling, back throwing, and fighting in the army also absorb some characteristics of Baji Quan.
　　The spirit of Baji Quan consists of sixteen words： loyal and upright, using oneself as a shield, selfless dedication, and taking the lead in times of crisis.
　　Therefore, since the Republic of China, many big shots would hire masters of Baji Quan as their bodyguards.
Han Long was very surprised. He didn’t expect that Xiao Zhan didn’t only know Baji Quan. but also had cultivated Baji Quan to a very high level.
“If this is all you’ve got, then in my eyes, you’re the loser, “said Xiao Zhan with a smile.
　　He knew that Han Long hadn’t revealed his true trump card yet.
　　Just like himself, he hadn’t used the ultimate killing move of Baji Boxing either.
　　”Waste？” Han Long got up from the ground and said coldly, “This is the first time I’ve heard someone call me a waste.”
“Really? Then I’m honored.” Xiao Zhan’s voice was steady, but there was an indescribable arrogance in his tone.
　　”Don’t think that just because you know Baji Boxing, you have the right to call me a waste. Let me tell you, I was just warming up earlier. Now, the warm-up is over.”
　　After Han Long finished saying this, the aura on his body changed, filled with a high fighting spirit.
I hope your next performance will make me look at you with new eyes.
　　If before, he gave people the feeling of being very steady, as immovable as a mountain, but at this moment, he was like an enraged tiger.
　　When a tiger is angry, it will surely shake the heavens and the earth.
Even, Ye Qiu could feel a slight threat from Xiao Zhan’s aura.
　　If the fight continued, Han Long would surely lose！
It seems that Xiao Zhan didn’t brag. This kid is indeed a martial arts prodigy rare in a hundred years.
　　”If he continues to study martial arts, with his talent, it’s not impossible to step on Xiao Jiu within ten years.”
　　”After all, he’s only nineteen years old！”
　　“This time I’ve found a treasure！”
　　Ye Qiu thought of this and quickly stopped the two of them.
“Stop!” I just asked you to have a sparring match, not to fight to the death. Why, did you get angry?
　　“Boss, he said I’m a waste.” Han Long said angrily.
Xiao Zhan pouted and said, “You also called me a waste earlier. What’s wrong with me saying it about you?”
　　“You——”
　　“All right, stop talking. From today on, you two are brothers. You should take care of each other and not fight.”
Han Long has just come to Jiangzhou and is unfamiliar with the place. You take him to get familiar with it for a while.”
After Ye Qiu finished speaking, he said to Xiao Zhan again, “From now on” focus on practicing martial arts and don’t think about writing anymore.”
Must cut off this kid’s idea of becoming a writer!
　　“It’s getting late. Han Long, you send me back.”
