With Su Xiang's confusing demonstration along with the revelation of her sect affiliation, those attendees who had yet to place a bet rushed to do so. The announcer gave a slow, steady countdown of thirty breaths for people to place their bets before the duel would begin. Finally, after positioning Su Xiang and San at a distance of ten meters apart, the announcer retreated to a shielded space on the arena floor.
"Both fighters have agreed that the match does not end until one or both of them are dead," the announcer called, ensuring that everyone understood that this was a feud that was irreconcilable until death. In the stands, dozens of voices cheered, eager to see the Fairy from the Shining Blade Hall torn to death by the physically imposing bandit from the Mountain's Bones Gang.
"There will be no interference and no mercy," the announcer called, drawing even more cheers from the bloodthirsty crowd. "Fighters, BEGIN!"
