Everyone was shocked when they saw someone interfere in the battle at the last possible moment, just as Hao Nu was about to deliver the killing blow.
The shock and surprise came because, according to the rules of the Combat Hall, no one—neither elders nor disciples—was allowed to interfere in a battle within the Life and Death Arena.
Therefore, when someone interfered at the last possible moment, everyone was astonished.
The disciples watching the entire event felt that this day kept getting better and better. As spectators, they certainly weren't complaining.
Rarely did anything exciting happen in the outer sect, so witnessing this situation filled the disciples with excitement, eager to see what would happen next.
However, not everyone shared that anticipation. Hao Nu glared at the young man who blocked his spear, anger clear in his eyes.
