"So, after Qi Heng became a Demon General, his strength didn't improve as much as Zhuo Mengshen's," Huo Lian said.
"That should be the case," Jiang Deng said. "Back when they were competing for the position of Demon General, Zhuo Mengshen was clearly weaker than Qi Heng, since he wasn't qualified to compete. But over the years afterward, Zhuo Mengshen's strength must have improved faster than Qi Heng's, which led to Qi Heng coming off worse in their eventual clash."
Huang Xiao nodded. He believed Jiang Deng was probably right.
Only someone who lacked sufficient strength would back down.

He should have made himself clear enough just now. The Sect Master and the others would surely be mentally prepared for what came next.
