The martial contest remains undecided.
But...
If it's a tie.
For Lin Shao, how is it any different from 'defeat and retreat'?!
"Well, Song Chai Xin, you...!"
In an instant, Lin Shao's blood surged backwards; he was caught between advance and retreat, while Song Chai Xin punched through the air like a cannonball, producing a 'boom' sound, and sneered:
"Commander of the Military Department, according to the Great Zhao's rules, I am the Prefecture Venerable, you are sixth rank; you should show respect when you see me."
"According to Jianghu etiquette, you and I are equals; if you continue to fight to the death in this confrontation, how can the Prefecture Venerable fear you?"
"You stand on neither of these grounds."
"So, will you follow the rules of the Jianghu Martial Artist, disregarding everything and fight to the end, and solidify a reputation for 'insubordination' or will you abide by the Great Zhao's rules and do what you ought to do?!"
