Before Elder He stepped onto the stage, Su Yang had already taken notice of him.

Among all those present, the strongest were Ghost Blade Mo Qianli, Elder He, and Huo Zihen.

These three were not far from the realm of a Terrestrial Immortal. Among them, Elder He was particularly enigmatic; Su Yang's Devil's Search Technique was actually unable to capture the method in which Elder He's energy flowed—an extremely rare occurrence.

Therefore, Su Yang had been on guard against Elder He all along.

For Elder He to choose this moment to make his move was indeed very sneaky. Su Yang had fought five consecutive battles, facing three Sovereigns and two experts at the peak of Fusion, which had severely depleted his strength. Elder He coming up at this time was simply taking advantage of that.

But that's how the arena matches work. If you don't accept the challenge, you either find someone to fight in your stead or you forfeit.
