Chapter 29: Duel on the Arena

Today's Xuzhou City... is bustling.

There's a duel.

Zheng Mukai, the head honcho of Kaifeng Prefecture's Guangxing Escort Agency, has decided to publicly spar on the city's arena with Ge Shi, the fifth-ranked master of Huaian's Heroic Gate.

Both are well-known figures in the Martial Arts community.

Zheng Mukai, at thirty-five this year, is known as the "Kaifeng Three-Armed Sword." Of course, he's not some Three Sword Styles practitioner; he wields only one sword. However, his swift swordplay is so fast that it seems as though he has three arms instead of one.

On the other hand, Ge Shi is no pushover either. At thirty-one this year, his nickname is "Scorpion Tail Spear," and his seven-foot spear technique is so versatile and fierce that in the Huai River region, he's a household name.

These two men... originally had little to do with each other and had no reason to come to blows, let alone sign a deathmatch agreement and fight on the arena.
