The huge bear corpse fell heavily to the ground with a loud "boom". Even the entire stone temple shook three times, and dust fell from the roof to the ground.
Everyone stared at this scene in amazement, their minds frozen.
They knew that this Taoist priest, who was nearly 1.9 meters tall, was very powerful.
But I never expected it to be so fierce!
The demon-like black bear just now was killed by this Taoist priest with just... a slap?
Are you dreaming?
Looking at the stunned crowd, Zhang Zhiwei ignored them and turned to look at the black bear's corpse.
I saw that there were several dark and evil resentful souls lurking in the black bear's corpse, and I could vaguely see several blurry faces that were struggling and twisted. Upon closer inspection, I found that these faces all looked like little bears.
This black bear is not dead yet. To be precise, this black bear should have died a long time ago, but for some unknown reason, it turned into a ghost and came back.
As to what the reason is.
Looking at those twisted and resentful souls, Zhang Zhiwei had a rough idea in his mind. Most likely, the villagers went into the mountains to hunt and killed the bear's family, so the bear came to take revenge.
But Zhang Zhiwei had nothing to say about this matter. The villagers went into the mountains to hunt because they could not survive. However, the butt determines the head, so Zhang Zhiwei would definitely stand on the side of the villagers.
As soon as he thought about it, he activated the Yang Wu Lei, and with one thunder, he struck the ghost bear to pieces, destroying its body and soul.
Zhang Jingqing suddenly reached out and grabbed his wrist, stopping him from casting the spell, and gave him a look.
"Don't be impatient!"
Zhang Zhiwei followed Zhang Jingqing's gaze and immediately saw all kinds of things in the world.
At that moment, he thought of the group of wandering wanderers in straw raincoats and what they had said before...
Zhang Zhiwei understood what he meant, put away his thunder magic, and hurriedly asked if anyone around him was okay.
It was not until then that the remaining people came to their senses. They looked at the huge black bear corpse, then at the Taoist priest standing in front of the corpse. They immediately felt relieved and felt a sense of joy at surviving the disaster.
"God, this Taoist priest must be a god who has descended to earth!"
Among the villagers, the old man was the first to react. He rushed over and was about to kowtow.
Zhang Zhiwei quickly helped the old man up: "You can't bear this! I'm not some god who has descended to earth. I'm just an ordinary person!"
The old man held Zhang Zhiwei's hand tightly and said, "I deserve it, I deserve it. Taoist priest, you saved my life. I have no way to repay you for such a great kindness!"
"I just helped someone when I saw injustice. You don't have to take it to heart, old man!" said Zhang Zhiwei.
"The Taoist priest is really enthusiastic and has great skills!" said the old man in the village.
"It's all thanks to my master's good teaching!" Zhang Zhiwei took the opportunity to drag Zhang Jingqing into the water.
The old man quickly clasped his hands towards Zhang Jingqing and said, "I believe this Taoist priest must also have extraordinary magical powers!"
Zhang Jingqing gave Zhang Zhiwei a sidelong glance, folded his arms, and said, "No, no, no, when I was involved in the God-Assisted Boxer Rebellion, I joined a boxing arena and learned only fake moves!"
"It turns out that the Taoist priest is also a hero in the boxing world. What a pity that the imperial court is so incompetent and untrustworthy that they even teamed up with the red-haired demons to attack all the heroes!" sighed the old man in the village.
"After all, we underestimated the red-haired devils' firearms!" Zhang Jingqing sighed.
Zhang Jingqing exchanged pleasantries with the old man.
Zhang Zhiwei listened to some of it from the side. The content was roughly about the Boxer Rebellion. The old man seemed to be a witness of that incident.
God helps the Boxers... Zhang Zhiwei didn't know much about the Boxer Rebellion, as that was almost 20 years ago.
He only knew that this was an organization formed by several alien forces, originally intended to deal with the Qing court.
Later, armies of many foreign powers and foreigners invaded together, and the Boxers began to work together with the Qing government to deal with the foreign powers.
In the end, due to the betrayal of the Qing court, it was destroyed by the encirclement and suppression of foreigners from many countries and countless guns and cannons, and a large number of foreigners died tragically.
Zhang Zhiwei suddenly understood why, later on, the alien forces of a mere tiny island country could make the alien people in China feel like they were facing a formidable enemy, causing heavy casualties.
This is not because the devil's aliens are very strong.
It’s just a tiny place, how powerful can it be?
There are indeed too many alien people in China who have died.
Long before fighting with them, the aliens in the land of China had already fought several rounds with the aliens from the world's powers.
The aliens from the world's great powers have the support of their national armies and are armed with guns and cannons.
But the aliens in China have a treacherous imperial court behind them that is ready to stab them in the back at any time.
Every time they fought, Shenzhou suffered heavy casualties.
That's why it seems so difficult later on.
…………
And at this time.
"Brother, are you okay?"
The bearded man, who had been knocked unconscious by the ghost bear, spat out a mouthful of blood, and his face regained some color as he slowly woke up.
The first thing he saw when he woke up was the huge bear corpse in the stone temple. The bearded man was shocked and excited. He coughed up a few mouthfuls of blood and hurriedly asked what happened.
Several younger brothers quickly told him what had just happened.
"I've met a master. God bless me, God bless me."
The bearded man looked at the bear's corpse on the ground, then looked at the Taoist priest in the corner, his face full of relief.
First, I am glad that the black bear was killed by an expert and saved his life.
Second, I am glad that I was cautious before and did not act rashly.
Otherwise, you'll hit a wall.
The bearded man had practiced martial arts and had some experience. He knew that there were masters in this world, and the Taoist priest in front of him was most likely one of them. He hurried over to say hello and try to get close to him.
But Zhang Zhiwei drove him away with just a glance.
After being turned away, the bearded man didn't dare to bother the master again for fear of offending him, and returned home in disappointment.
Because the giant bear destroyed the temple gate, the wind and rain outside poured into the stone temple. It was very cold, so everyone stopped resting and started a fire to keep warm. They sat together and talked in low voices.
"Boss, Er Mazi is dead. He died a horrible death. His brains are all over the floor!"
Those martial artists put their raincoats back on, and one of them whispered.
Ermazi was the one who initially stared at the black bear through the crack in the door and was eventually slapped to death.
"Everyone is subject to misfortunes at any time. Didn't I almost get killed by a slap? Tomorrow morning we will find a place to bury Ermazi and let him rest in peace!"
The bearded man touched his chest as he spoke. Although the blow from the black bear didn't kill him, he had some broken bones. It would probably take him a while to recover.
At this time, a villager looked at the black bear's corpse and said in horror:
"This, this, this... This is the man-eating bear that often attacks the village. Didn't we hire someone to kill it? How come... How come it's back to life again?!"
Upon hearing this, several villagers hurried forward to check.
"It's this bear. It ate my wife and unborn child. I'd recognize it even if it turned to ash. But didn't we hire a swordsman to kill it? Why is it back again?"
"Yes, yes. I remember it very clearly. The swordsman was very skilled. He slashed through the bear's shoulder with his sword, almost cutting it in two. The bear fell motionless on the spot. Then the swordsman collected his reward and took the bear's body away. The cut on the bear's shoulder was caused by the swordsman, but how did it come back to life?"
