Seeing Qin Shaofeng win that way, the Devil Race's higher-ups were honestly taken aback.
At the same time, quite a few of them furrowed their brows.
They had realized that, under these circumstances, it would be very difficult to kill this human named Yan Yang.
Worse still, Yan Yang had won this match by challenging an opponent nine levels above him. That earned him a whopping 256 Points!
Add those 256 Points to the 16 and 64 Points he had already earned, and he had brought the human race back more than 300 Points.
Now the human race had cut the Devil Race's lead down to just 200 Points.
If Mo Yanyu, a fifth-stage Nirvana Realm fighter, hadn't been on their side, steadily earning Points, they might not even have been able to maintain a 100-Point lead over the human race.
But now, if this human called Yan Yang managed to win another match against a tenth-stage Nirvana Realm Devil Race fighter, the humans wouldn't just make up the difference—they might even overtake the Devil Race in Points.
That was the last thing the Devil Race's higher-ups wanted to see.
Some of them were still considering using covert methods to kill Qin Shaofeng.
But after what had happened in the previous match, they no longer dared to take that risk.
So, after the Devil Race's higher-ups discussed the matter, they made a shocking decision.
When the eighth match of the sixth round began, the humans were stunned to find that only a dozen or so—barely twenty—Devil Race fighters remained in the competition.
The sixth round was judged by the number of victories, so whether they were human or Devil Race fighters, whenever they faced an opponent they couldn't contend with, they would usually concede as soon as the match began.
