"These War Dragon Beasts seem to be under some restriction—they can't kill us!"
"Give it everything you've got! Even if we can't kill them, we have to take back the Sword-Grinding Stones they stole!"
Lu Beihuang and the others quickly noticed that the War Dragon Beasts did not dare kill them. Once they realized this, their courage surged.
They had previously fought with the resolve to die. Now that they knew their opponents did not dare kill them, they were even more driven.
There was still some time until dawn. We'll wear you down! If you don't hand over the Sword-Grinding Stones you stole, don't even think about leaving today...
As Lu Beihuang and the others became more motivated, the power behind their sword techniques increased considerably as well. Sword energy crisscrossed the air, and the battle reached a fever pitch.
"I'll leave them alone for now. I should look for another chance to steal..."
Nie Yun watched for a while and knew the battle between the two sides would not be decided anytime soon. He immediately stopped paying attention to it, glanced at Lu Xuan, and his mind began working again.
That fellow was afraid of being discovered by Lu Beihuang and the others, so he had not gone far. He was only a dozen meters or so away from Nie Yun, and all his attention was currently fixed on the battle in the arena. As long as Nie Yun was careful, it was not impossible to steal the Sword-Grinding Stones.
"I'll take this chance..."
No sooner said than done, Nie Yun moved slowly through the ground, once again approaching Lu Xuan.
Ten meters! Eight meters! Six meters!
Though he knew Lu Xuan's attention was drawn to the battle, he remained cautious and did not dare let down
