He Jue had not expected Jiang Chen to actually challenge him to a Life and Death Battle.
Jiang Chen wore a calm expression, his face full of confidence.
This made He Jue somewhat suspicious. Could Jiang Chen have some secret technique up his sleeve?
He Jue was also worried that if he capsized in a gutter, he would have to pay for it with his life.
Yet he also suspected that Jiang Chen was merely saying this for the sake of face, deliberately trying to frighten him into backing down.
If He Jue backed down, his reputation would be swept into the dust. Jiang Chen's words had left him in a difficult position.
Seeing that He Jue could not make up his mind, Jiang Chen sneered. "Heh, I thought you were something impressive. Turns out you're all bark. The moment a Life and Death Battle is mentioned, you shrink back. Looks like you were just putting on a brave front. If you don't dare fight a Life and Death Battle, then get lost, you disgraceful fool."
Qin Rou frowned from the side.
But at this moment, she did not dare speak again. Earlier, He Jue had thoroughly offended Qin Rou as well.
Clearly, Qin Rou had not wanted He Jue to offend Jiang Chen, yet He Jue had refused to listen and had even cursed at her.
I've already tried to persuade He Jue, but he wouldn't listen. He insisted on provoking Jiang Chen. I've done all I could. If I speak again, I'll probably truly offend Jiang Chen beyond repair, Qin Rou thought.
Now, it all depended on how He Jue chose.
Hearing Jiang Chen's words, He Jue's face flushed red with fury.
He was a favored son of heaven. How could he endure being indirectly called a coward?
