It was not just Long Yuan!
The contestants below were also trembling one after another.
How were they supposed to fight this?
Once they stepped into the arena, they would be killed in a single move, without even a chance to surrender.
Keep fighting?
They all looked toward Long Yuan, their faces pleading.
Naturally, Long Yuan understood the plea in their eyes.
