The entire audience fell silent as Wang Ziru dejectedly exited the stage.
His tall silhouette appeared so lonely and desolate, carrying a hint of sorrow.
The spectators felt uncomfortable as well. Their prideful home team had shockingly lost four matches in a row, each defeat being a one-hit kill by Gao Xuan.
The fame of the Taihua Sword Immortal was immense, maintaining an undefeated record. However, he had never been this dominant in past competitions.
When facing formidable swordsmen, the combatants would engage in at least a few exchanges.
But now, even the Little Celestial King, Wang Ziru, was defeated in one strike by Gao Xuan, leaving the audience unable to accept it.
This overwhelming blow plunged the audience's emotions into a low.
Under normal circumstances, they would offer polite applause to a strong figure like Gao Xuan.
Respecting the opponent's master is basic courtesy. Acknowledging their strength allows one to accept their own defeat.
