Looking at Mo Bai before him, Baleful Shadow hesitated before saying, "If that really was the lineup, Shi Qi would definitely lose. His opponent couldn't have been the Sword Master, could it?"
"Wrong!"
"Shi Qi won that battle, and his opponent wasn't the Sword Master either."
"The Sword Master's opponent was Nether River Ancestor, Shi Qi's opponent was the Phoenix Empress, and the Immortal Emperor's opponent was Nalan Zi Ping."
"With a single slash of his sword, Shi Qi broke the Phoenix Empress's fist technique and shattered her Five-Colored Divine Light."
"Though it did not harm her foundation, it did cut off a lock of the Phoenix Empress's beautiful hair."
"Because the difference in their cultivation time was too great, Sir ruled that the Phoenix Empress had lost."
"What about the others?"
Baleful Shadow pressed anxiously. Mo Bai smiled and said one thing.
"You guess!"
"I'll guess your big-headed ghost! Hurry up and tell me!"
"The results of the second revival round were extremely unexpected."
"The Sword Master did not win. The Immortal Emperor lost, yet still advanced."
"What does that mean?"
"The Sword Master struck three times in succession, but could only wound, not kill. Therefore, Sir ruled that the Sword Master had lost."
"Why?"
Upon hearing this result, Baleful Shadow said excitedly, "The Sword Master injured Nether River Ancestor with just three sword strikes. Why doesn't that count as a win?"
"Because this was Great Dao Contention, not a match in an arena."
"Nether River Ancestor is said to be undying as long as the Blood Sea does not dry up. The Sword Master could split open the Blood Sea, but he could not eradicate it."
"Given enough time, the Sword Master would surely be worn to death. So he lost."
"I... sigh~"
Baleful Shadow opened and closed
