"Stop the nonsense. Do you dare to face me in battle?" Hong Yuan roared, immediately interrupting Li Jianxiang. He just wanted to resolve the fight quickly and then make his escape.
"Hmph, then come on up," Li Jianxiang said arrogantly to Hong Yuan, lightly blowing on his sword's edge.
He had been defeated last time only because Hong Yuan and Xu Haisheng joined forces. Under the onslaught of the beast horde, one person could hardly withstand the attack. But against Hong Yuan alone, he could beat ten like him!
The watching official disciples saw that a good show was about to begin and quickly gathered around.
"Who is this guy? Does anyone know him?"
"I don't know him."
"I've never seen him before."
Hong Yuan always lived in seclusion on Phoenix Fire Peak. Even in his spare time, he stayed in his own courtyard studying martial arts. Consequently, very few in the Phoenix Creek Sect knew him, let alone anyone at the minor Sword-washing Stand.
