Ling Tian's Void Breaking Buddha Eye, Phenomenal Domain, and powerful ability to fight prolonged battles were the perfect counters to the Thorn Alliance's techniques and secret arts. Knowing that it would be even harder to capture Ling Tian after they left the You Hun Realm, Ci Xin's expression grew more solemn.
Hmph. Anyway, the ones who'll pursue and capture Ling Tian in the future will be Saint God-level cultivators, perhaps even experts at the Saint God Great Perfection. Capturing him won't be too difficult. Ci Xin then looked toward the arena and called out, "Ci Mo, if you can't do anything about Fellow Daoist Ling Tian, just admit defeat. You can't beat him in a battle of attrition."
Though Ci Mo was extremely unwilling—after all, he hadn't even gotten within a thousand zhang of Ling Tian—he knew Ci Xin was right. He retreated several hundred zhang and said, "Fellow Daoist Ling Tian, I'm no match for you. I concede."
"Brother, you're too kind. An arena battle was never fair to you in the first place. After all, you made your name in the God Realm with assassination techniques," Ling Tian said, giving Ci Mo—and the entire Thorn Alliance—a graceful way out. "Besides, you could fly off the arena. There's nothing I could do to stop you."
Hearing this, Ci Mo was pleased despite his defeat. At least his reputation and that of the Thorn Alliance had been preserved. He bowed respectfully, then left the arena.
Next, Ling Tian didn't ask for a break. He continued fighting, and this time his opponent was also from the Thorn Alliance.
Although this man was stronger than Ci Mo, it was only by a hair. He still couldn't get within a thousand zhang of Ling Tian, so he naturally had no chance of winning.
