"Since both sides have confirmed their participants, I hereby officially declare that this fight to the death in the Life-and-Death Arena has begun!"
With that announcement, the atmosphere grew heavy.
The moment the middle-aged man finished speaking, his figure flickered, and he darted aside like a phantom,
Joining the other Law-Enforcement Elders to deploy several grand formations in an instant, enveloping the entire Life-and-Death Arena.
The formations radiated immense power and dazzling light, shielding the Life-and-Death Arena as securely as an impregnable fortress.
