"However, I can't kill you this time. Once you lose the match, I can still come after you!"
Though Prince Duobo was simmering with frustration, his opponent had already stepped down from the arena, so he could hardly rush over and attack him. He could only snort coldly to himself and turn back toward his own group.
To be honest, just as the other Red River Gate elders had guessed, he was indeed full of confidence in the third match—and even more confident than when he had made his move himself!
"Brother... are you confident about winning the third match?"
Unlike Prince Duobo's gloom, the moment Nie Yun returned to the stands, he heard Nie Tong quietly transmit his voice to him.
"Not confident." Nie Yun shook his head.
"Not confident? Then why did you..." Nie Tong found it strange.
Since his brother was not confident, why had he directly admitted defeat in this round?
From what he knew of his brother, hadn't he always refused to do anything he wasn't sure of?
"I'm not confident that I can win the third match, but if I really fought him, I'm certain I'd be killed!" Nie Yun gave a bitter smile.
He had not wanted to admit defeat either, but he had no choice.
Prince Duobo was simply too strong, far surpassing Elder Liu Xia from back then.
Elder Liu Xia alone had nearly killed him, and Yuan Jiu had fought so strenuously as well. If he truly fought this fellow, it would be hard not to lose!
Since he already knew he would lose, why fight again?
Not only would it consume Divine Stones, but it might also expose the puppet's identity. No matter how foolish someone was, they would not take such a losing bargain!
"The third match begins!"
