Su Chen also fell silent.
Jiuyou's meaning was clear to him.
This supreme powerhouse from the Supreme Heavenly Fire Sect was targeting Shentu Ni.
What he valued was not only Shentu Ni's current strength but also the potential of Shentu Ni possessing the Pure Sword Physique.
If, during the selection competition, he killed Shentu Ni, it might anger this unknown supreme powerhouse!!!
By then, his death would almost be certain.
Unless during the process of killing Shentu Ni, he displayed stronger talent and strength than Shentu Ni, outshining him completely, proving himself superior, perhaps only then could he save his own life and be deemed worthy to replace Shentu Ni.
Of course, Su Chen could also choose not to kill Shentu Ni during the selection, thereby not provoking the powerhouse from the Supreme Heavenly Fire Sect, but the problem is that Shentu Ni's desire to kill him might be even greater than his own.
