Although using a Rank-3 magic artifact might seem overbearing, compared to the prospect of failure, Zuo Qiushi was willing to temporarily set aside his pride.
"You lost."
But as Zuo Qiushi was about to unleash the true power of his Fire Spirit Pearl, Chen Mobai's voice rang out.
"Lost? Impossible..."
As Zuo Qiushi refuted, he felt a piercing chill at his back, as if a sharp sword was pressing against his heart, leaving him immobile.
[Did he resort to trickery? Did he call for reinforcements?]
This was the first thought that flashed through Zuo Qiushi's mind.
Immediately, he recalled how he had previously forced Chen Mobai into a corner, only for a mysterious blaze of sword light to strike from behind, forcing him to return his blade to defend, costing him the crucial victory.
"I admit defeat, what happened?"
