"This works too?"
Fu Shuijing's mouth twitched, the anticipated bloodbath not only didn't happen, but the more certain Zhang Xiangfeng had taken the initiative to admit defeat, giving Shi Xiaole an easy advantage.
And he could only watch helplessly as his opponent advanced further.
"Even with someone helping you, you can't break through the last barrier."
Fu Shuijing hummed disbelievingly.
The crowd on-site blew up with chatter as well, speculating about the relationship between the two genius swordsmen. If they said Zhang Xiangfeng had backed down because of a woman, no one would believe it, especially since he could have completely beaten Shi Xiaole and dealt with the next challenge later on.
By the time Shi Xiaole returned to the edge of the ring, without the need for the Nine-Colored Palace Lamp to shine on him, the remaining two powerhouses automatically stood up, soared into the center of the arena, and the buzz of the crowd abruptly went silent.
