Fang Zhen shook his head. Any city would have such ruffians. He was already used to it.

As they chatted, the two groups on the bridge finally got so engrossed in their scolding that they started shoving each other.

“You son of a b*tch, go back into your mother!”

“How dare you! Watch me tear your mouth off!”

On the bridge, the two groups of ruffians quickly fought. They piled up and blocked the bridge completely. From time to time, the ruffians were pushed off the bridge and into the river.

Zhou Jing and Fang Zhen were in the crowd, watching the show with the people.

At this moment, two people suddenly ran out from the opposite shore. They chased after each other towards the stone bridge.

The person escaping in front was a thin figure with a square face mask covering his face. He was extremely fast and shuttled through the crowded street like a fish in water.

Behind him was a handsome middle-aged man. At this moment, his face was filled with anger. He held a long staff in his hand as he pursued the thin person in front.

“Little thief, don’t you dare leave. Return my bag!”

The middle-aged man’s shout immediately attracted the attention of the crowd.

“Hehe, come and get it if you have the ability!” The thin man let out a strange laugh.

The citizens who were watching the commotion on the bridge quickly made way, not wanting to be involved.

......

The two of them quickly approached the stone bridge.

On the bridge, a large group of ruffians was fighting. No one moved aside and blocked the way.

Suddenly, the thin man soared into the air and stepped on the heads of the ruffians like a dragonfly skimming the water, crossing the bridge as if he was flying.

“Good Qinggong!”

When the surrounding citizens saw this, they could not help but cheer.

Fang Zhen’s eyes lit up as he asked curiously, “Brother Chen, you’re very skilled. I wonder if you can do it?”

Zhou Jing touched his chin and smacked his lips, “If I try to cross the bridge like this, their heads will probably end up inside their rib cages.”

“… That’s true.”

Fang Zhen could not help but look at Zhou Jing’s burly figure, and the corners of his mouth twitched.

At the same time, the middle-aged man chasing after him also rushed to the bridge. However, he did not step on anyone’s head. Instead, he stabbed out with his long staff into the crowd from below, before growling out,

“Get lost!”

In the next moment, the long rod seemed to be raised like a spear, emitting a loud bang.

Splish splash!

The few ruffians entangled in front of him were all sent flying and fell into the river.

The bridge immediately became much emptier.

This scene was much more intense than the thin person just now, causing the people to reveal shocked expressions and erupt into an uproar.

The middle-aged man strode forward and raised his staff, knocking all the ruffians in his way into the water as if it was as easy as breathing for him.

Without even looking at the people in the water, he quickly crossed the bridge and chased after the thin person in front of him.

“Wow, what domineering spear techniques!” Fang Zhen knew his stuff and immediately exclaimed in surprise.

Zhou Jing was also interested after watching this display.

Of the two people who were escaping and chasing, one was agile and flexible, while the other had domineering techniques. They were both proficient in martial arts and were not ordinary people.

Zhou Jing did not expect to encounter an expert the moment he entered the city. This was expected of the state capital, where undercurrents ran fierce and unbidden.

At this moment, the two of them rushed forward towards them.

The onlookers around Zhou Jing quickly shifted to the side, immediately revealing him as a person who stood out from the crowd.

When the thin person noticed a burly man like Zhou Jing, he immediately rolled his eyes and suddenly threw a bag at Zhou Jing.

“Brother, I’ll leave the person behind to you. See you at the same place after this!”

With that, he turned around, wanting to use Zhou Jing as a cover so that he could escape.

At the same time, the middle-aged man also rushed forward. Seeing that the bag had been thrown to Zhou Jing, he did not have time to think. He used the rod as a spear and stabbed it at Zhou Jing’s chest. He shouted, “Move!”

Zhou Jing raised his eyebrows, but he did not dodge. His large hand grabbed the long staff that was stabbing over.

Bam!

There was a muffled sound, and the impact only made his arm tremble slightly.

Immediately after, without another word, Zhou Jing grabbed the end of the stick and flipped it, actually prying up the middle-aged man on the other end.

“What?!”

The middle-aged man was shocked. He did not expect this “partner” to be so strong. Not only did he easily break his attack with his bare hands, but he could even lift him up with one hand.

He could not pull the long staff out of Zhou Jing’s hand, so he could only let go and stagger to the ground. He looked at Zhou Jing cautiously, his back covered in cold sweat as if he was facing a great enemy.

However, Zhou Jing ignored him. Instead, he turned to look at the thin person who had run a few steps away and threw out the staff.

Hong!

With a sonic boom, the staff shot out like a javelin.

Although the thin person had run away, he had been paying attention to the commotion behind him. When he saw Zhou Jing easily send the middle-aged man flying, his heart skipped a beat.

At this moment, when he realized that the staff was flying towards him, he let out a strange cry and hurriedly dodged to the side.

Crack!

The staff brushed past him with powerful force, nailing into the stone floor, vibrating as it stabbed itself diagonally into the ground.

If the thin man did not dodge, he would have been pierced through!

The thin man gasped, frightened out of his wits. He secretly regretted provoking a tough nut to crack.

However, at this moment, Fang Zhen had already taken off the whip at his waist. He snorted angrily and raised his palm, throwing the whip out like a chain.

“How dare you provoke my brother? Come back!”

The whip was agile and wrapped around the thin man’s waist like a python.

Fang Zhen pulled hard, and the thin person was pulled back to Zhou Jing, falling to the ground in a sorry state.

Without waiting for the little thief to speak, Zhou Jing grabbed his neck with one hand and raised him into the air, causing him to panic.

“I’m just watching the show here, yet you dare to provoke your grandfather? I’ll give you two choices. Either you obediently apologize and follow me, or take three punches from me. Choose.”

Zhou Jing’s fist flashed in front of the little thief’s eyes as he revealed a sinister smile.

The thin man looked at the sandbag-sized fist, his teeth chattering as he forced out the words,

“Good man… No, Grandpa, you’re joking. With my small body, I don’t need three punches. If I take one punch from you, I’ll probably disintegrate. Grandpa, please spare my life. I know my mistake!”
