The Blood Emperor had a feeling that if he tried to make a move against him now, there was absolutely no chance of success. Judging by that person's earlier direct attack and his reaction speed, he had been on alert the entire time. Especially in the current situation—the passage was too narrow. He would be even more vigilant and able to focus even more completely, which made a successful attack even less likely...
But now, That Kid looked like he Cannot Resist any longer. What if he really could not hold on and left this place? Wouldn't that lead to exactly the same outcome as failing to attack him?
As long as he took one step out of here, with the Void Illusion Stone in hand, they would have no chance of succeeding. Therefore, he had to think of a way to stop him from entertaining thoughts of retreat! He could not make a move here, but as long as he continued onward, there would eventually be an opportunity to act. Moreover, if he passed this heavenly ladder, his chance to make a move might come immediately!
Why was that?
Think about it. They had only climbed this heavenly ladder for a short while, yet they already had to withstand this level of scorching. Though there were no flames, this force would erode their bodies. The Follow-up was probably even stronger.
