The challenge match was temporarily suspended for an hour, an unprecedented occurrence in the history of the North-South Martial Arts Tournament.
As time passed by minute by second, everyone's gaze was fixed on the Twelve Heavenly Guardians Formation, with some hoping Ye Qiu would appear, while others cursed him to fall eternally into the endless void.
Time seemed long, even excruciating.
"Is he dead?" Shangguan Mingyue couldn't bring herself to believe this outcome.
Shangguan Dao was silent, although he disliked Ye Qiu, Ye Qiu had after all saved his grandfather's life, and he still owed him three favors yet to be fulfilled.
"What a waste of time, delaying the challenge match!" some grumbled dissatisfactorily.
The voices of discussion never ceased, and as more than half an hour passed, those who hoped for Ye Qiu's appearance gradually lost the sparkle in their eyes.
