Chapter 229
Qu Jiujiang, who had fallen to the ground, suddenly sprang up with a carp leap, gripping the knife handle tightly in his hand. He forcefully suppressed the blood in his throat and the uncontrollable fury in his heart.
He was eager to rush over and fight with Shu Lei for another three hundred rounds. Even if he was beaten or killed by the opponent, he had no fear of death.
But he understood that once defeated, he was defeated. As a citizen of the Empire, he needed to maintain dignity and face in defeat.
He clasped his fists and bowed, saying, "Your skill is superior, I willingly admit defeat."
But Shu Lei was not from the Empire, and he neither knew nor cared about dignity or face. He sat astride his horse, laughing heartily, and pointed at Qu Jiujiang with his iron bow.
"Is this the Martial Champion of the Empire? Ha-ha, this is indeed the Martial Champion of the Empire."
