Chapter 55: The Duel
The next day, Cheng Ming hurried with quick steps, rushing non-stop to Jinghong Martial Hall to find Jiang Yang.
Jiang Yang put down what he was doing, and seeing Cheng Ming's grave expression, asked, "Brother Ming, you're in such a hurry to find me, what's the matter?"
Cheng Ming got straight to the point, his tone heavy, "It's about Goddess Temple Dock. The Wu family is forcing us into a 'duel' to determine life and death!"
"A duel?!"
Jiang Yang's eyelids jumped violently, his face instantly filling with difficulty, "Brother Ming, you know well that my injuries from the last breakthrough attempt have never fully healed."
He let out a heavy sigh, as if extremely pained, "Even if I risk my life and reluctantly enter the arena, facing that Tian Yaozong, I'm afraid... the odds would be against me."
Jiang Yang had long known about the grudge between the Wu and Cheng families, and was well aware of Tian Yaozong's strength.
He had prepared this excuse for evasion long ago.
Cheng Ming's heart instantly sank to the bottom.
