Use up all the strength to chase after a defeated foe and not to let one’s foe escape to rule again1!
According to logic, if Chief Leng was seeking peace, Jiang Yi should just compromise. If the news went out saying that he had fought to a draw with the no.2 expert of the city, no one else would come looking for trouble.
Unfortunately, Jiang Yi didn’t know when to stop when he was already ahead.
He did this because of a reason as he had this pent-up anger when he was vomiting blood earlier due to all the beating he received from Chief Leng. Who was Chief Leng again? He was the no.2 chief of the city and had been dominating the Sky Thunder City for more than ten years. Why would such a person be asking for a truce? It meant that he couldn’t persist anymore, it meant that Chief Leng was afraid of death!
Since this was the case, why didn’t he let Chief Leng admit that he was scared? Why shouldn’t he completely beat down Chief Leng’s arrogance? There was no morality in Sin Island, and the people here lived with the law of the jungle—where the strong ruled supreme. One would only be able to dominate the others with absolute strength. How could Jiang Yi give up such great opportunity?
Of course…
Jiang Yi spoke in a very artistic manner and didn’t say that he wanted to settle this fight with life or death but just with an outcome of victory or defeat. It gave Chief Leng a way to step down from this. If they were truly going to settle this match with life or death, Chief Leng would surely go all-out; and it would be uncertain who was going to survive at the end.
Chief Leng’s expression got heavy when he heard Jiang Yi’s statement and was extremely enraged in his heart. However, Jiang Yi’s attack got even stronger; and the surrounding temperature suddenly went up a few notches. It left him with no choice but to suppress his raging heart and dodge swiftly. At the same time, Chief Leng desperately poured out his essence force so that his pseudo-divine artifact could release numerous runic wordings to prevent the divine shield from breaking.
Swish! Swish!
Jiang Yi didn’t speak anymore and increased the pace of his attack as he lashed out his attacks without any regard for his life. The Thunder Fire surged out quickly from the Fire Spirit Pearl and was shot at Chief Leng with the fusion martial skills.
Chief Leng was grumbling nonstop. If he retreated any further, he would be approaching the Sky Thunder City. If his pathetic and sorry figure was to be seen by the spectators and the other chiefs, he would truly be ashamed. By then, if he couldn’t withstand any longer, was he going to risk his life or to beg for mercy?
If he was to go all-out, Chief Leng had 60% certainty to kill Jiang Yi; however, if he was to go all-out, there was a possibility that his divine shield might shatter. He would die without a doubt. Was he going to beg for mercy in front of everyone? He, Chief Leng, couldn’t afford to throw his face like that.
He turned his eyes and saw that Jiang Yi was rushing over like a lunatic and attacking non-stop and without rest. He gritted his teeth and said, “Alright! Chief Leng, stop! This time, Old Leng will admit defeat. It is my loss!”
Jiang Yi revealed a trace of mockery as he already expected that Chief Leng was going to admit defeat. Since Chief Leng had the intention to seek a truce, it wasn’t any different from admitting defeat.
However, Jiang Yi still didn’t stop as he continued to cleave a few more cleaves while he roared out, “Chief Leng, what did you say? Louder! I can’t hear you!”
Jiang Yi’s roar was exceptionally loud, and he had poured in essence force to enhance the volume of his voice. Even the people by the city gate could hear it, and his meaning was obvious. If Chief Leng wanted to admit defeat, he had to let everyone hear it.
“You…”
Chief Leng was so angry that he was shaking, and he nearly vomited a mouthful of old blood. However, Jiang Yi continued to instant-shift over, and he had to either retreat towards the city or to comply with Jiang Yi’s intention.
His eyes were fuming with fire, and he burst out with a roar while gritting his teeth, “Chief Jiang has combat strength that rivals the heavens. Leng Nobody concedes defeat.”
This time, Chief Leng’s voice was very loud, but he still restrained it a little, making it so that the spectators at the city wall could only faintly hear his voice. Only the Heaven Monarchs were able to hear his voice clearly, causing Chief Li and the others to alter their expressions with agony exposed in the corner of their mouths.
Chief Leng had been defeated!
He was utterly defeated. Was it not miserable enough to admit defeat in front of everyone?
Chief Ying’s mouth was twitching, Smiling Tiger couldn’t even smile… Chief Hei’s expression became even blacker while Niu Deng and Niu Wang were all grinning and laughing loudly. They were feeling great and were using disdainful eyes to look down at Chief Leng’s men. At this moment, all their spines seemed to have gotten much straighter.
“Hahaha, Chief Leng must be joking. Chief Leng was obviously letting me win. There were several times when I was nearly killed by Chief Leng, just that Chief Leng had been merciful. Alright… this battle shall be considered a draw.”
Jiang Yi’s roar could be heard from far away, which caused Chief Li and the others to squint their eyes. They were thinking that this kid might be presumptuous, but he still knew how to behave properly and at least gave Chief Leng a chance to step down.

“Hahaha!”
Chief Leng’s laughter had also echoed: “I am old, too old. The youth generation will surpass me in time! Chief Jiang, in another few more years, Old Leng would definitely be killed by you in less than 100 moves. Heroes are born from the youths. Chief Jiang’s future is limitless.”
Swish!
Two figures appeared one after the other as they flew over from the thunder ridge. Chief Leng was originally in a sorry figure, but there were no signs of it now. He had a calm expression, and there wasn’t any more cold sweat on his body.
On the contrary, as Jiang Yi had concealed the Fire Cloud Armor, his robes were filled with fresh blood, making him look slightly miserable. Those ordinary martial artists didn’t hear that Chief Leng had admitted defeat. From the looks of it, it seemed as though Chief Leng had the upper hand, but the match ended in a draw.
Even though it was a draw, everyone looked at Jiang Yi with eyes of fear and zealotry. He was less than 20 years old and already fought to a draw with Chief Leng who was the no.2 chief of the city. His combat strength was too heaven-defying.
“Chief Leng!”
“Chief Jiang!”
All those martial artists at the lower stages were bowing with cupped fists while Niu Deng and the others greeted with cupped fists. Their voices were filled with worship and zealotry while Jiang Yi laughed from far away and said, “Satisfying, truly satisfying! I have gained a lot from the great battle with Chief Leng. Niu Deng, go make arrangements at the Hundred Flower Inn. I want to make a feast to thank Chief Leng for his guidance. Chief Li, Chief Ying, Big Brother Hu, and Chief Hei are all invited as well.”
The corner of Chief Leng’s twitched as he was feeling extremely sullen, but Jiang Yi had already allowed him to step down. How could he not accept it? He laughed heartily with pretense and said, “Since Chief Jiang is so modest, Old Leng will surely be there tonight.”
Chief Li laughed rather sincerely with cupped hands and said, “Since Chief Jiang has invited me, how would I dare to not go?”
Smiling Tiger, Big Brother Hu, also smiled with sincerity and repeatedly bowed with cupped hands. “It is my honor for Chief Jiang to invite me.”
Chief Ying was the third to speak: “Who would dare not to go after Chief Jiang put out the invitation? That would be to go against me, Old Ying.”
Chief Hei smiled again, but his face was too black, making his smile look even more terrifying. He cupped his fist and said, “Many thanks to Chief Jiang.”
“Hahaha!”
Jiang Yi waved his hand and said, “Then Jiang Nobody shall return first. I am still feeling the pain after Chief Leng slammed me with a few palm strikes. I will go back and recuperate first and see all of you tonight.”
“Chief Jiang, please take your time!”
Everyone cupped their hands and sent Jiang Yi off. When he, Niu Deng, and the others entered the city, some of Chief Leng and Chief Li’s subordinates all came to flatter Chief Leng with cupped hands.
“Congratulations to Chief Leng. Chief Leng’s combat strength can rival the heavens and triumphs in every battle.”
“That’s right. Chief Leng must have spared that kid, if not, how could it be a draw? With Chief Leng’s strength, a single move is enough to kill that kid.”
“Hurhur, is there even a need for one move? Half a move is enough…”
Chief Leng was feeling sullen and anger in his heart, and when he heard all these flatteries, it felt just like invisible slaps on his face. He was instantly infuriated as he burst out with a yell, “Get lost!”
All these people that were flattering Chief Leng suddenly shrunk as they didn’t know why Chief Leng was so angry. They had no choice but to return to the city with their tails between their legs.
Chief Li was on good terms with Chief Leng, and his brows were knitted tightly. He looked towards the city with doubts and asked in a transmitted message: “Chief Leng, how did you lose?”
“How did I lose?”
Chief Leng rubbed his face and let out a bitter smile and a spat of saliva before replying: “God damn it, I still do not understand until now. How the hell did I lose…?”
