Chapter 617: The Truth Behind the Scenes Chapter 617: The Truth Behind the Scenes The pitch-black spike seemed to have turned into a phantom at this moment.

It suddenly pierced through space and landed on Su Mo’s back.

It pierced through his entire body with incomparable ease.

However, after seeing this scene.

Long Qiu’s eyes froze.

Because he didn’t feel anything.

This body in front of him was so real that even its aura was so lifelike.

Was it just an illusion?

Long Qiu found it hard to accept.

After sensing that the other party was not his main body, he was shocked.

He immediately retreated.

However, it was still too slow.

Just as his body was about to disappear into the thick fog.

In an instant, a gust of wind swept past from behind.

Long Qiu only managed to dodge to the left.

In the next moment, a bloody hole appeared on the right side of his waist.

Green-gray blood spurted out.

The Quasi-Sage skin he had peeled off from the ancient corpse couldn’t block this attack?

He looked at Su Mo, who had appeared not far away.

Long Qiu’s expression turned unprecedentedly solemn.

He knew that the other party was extremely powerful and had many trump cards.

He had guessed beforehand that he might have a Quasi-Saint Weapon.

However, after his guess was confirmed.

They would still feel incomparably shocked.

However, to his surprise.

Su Mo did not continue to attack.

Instead, he asked with a puzzled expression,
“What does Man Dao have to do with you?”

Hearing that, Long Qiu laughed viciously,”
“Alright, since the Red Kite Dark Fog has already been activated, only one of us can survive today in this arena. I might as well tell you the truth.”

“Man Dao, Shen Hua, and I were all chosen to participate in the competition this time. We are here for someone to become the champion.”

“On the surface, there are only two contestants, Man Dao and Shenhua. The content of their responsibilities is also different. Man Dao is mainly responsible for becoming the champion. If he fails, Shenhua will find a way to replace him.

Because Shenhua’s priority was to steal the treasure from Fallen Star Lake, it didn’t matter if they won in the arena.

Unfortunately, Man Dao died early, so he could only let Shenhua take the lead.

In the end, Shenhua left behind traces during their operation, which led to their identity being exposed.

Later on, there was that shocking battle that caused Shen Hua to die on the spot, and the plan was completely foiled.

It can be said that both of them have fallen because of you.

Before this, perhaps they had never thought that their plan would fail because of a contestant like you.

However, the final plan still had me as an alternative.

I’m a backup plan that even they don’t know about.

Only when both of them fail will I come out and take on the heavy responsibility of winning the championship.

Before that, it doesn’t matter to me whether I win the championship or not.

Although the conditions agreed by the Choir Rat Grand Sage were very good…
However, it might not be able to solve my problem.

On the contrary, the respected lord behind me can solve my problem.

Therefore, he had to prioritize the plan.

If Man Dao loses to you, he will be worthless. The trump card you gave him will no longer have the chance to be used.

“That’s why I killed him and inherited his trump card for later use.

I thought I would use it after I won the championship.

Now, it seems that there was an extremely ridiculous unexpected factor like you.

Perhaps I’ll have to use it on you first.

I’m afraid that if that lord knew of my predicament, he would understand me.”

Hearing Long Qiu’s explanation, Su Mo’s eyes flashed with coldness.

He had long known that Man Dao’s death was not right.

It was even worse to be misunderstood.

Moreover-
“If I’m not wrong, your goal is to treat your injuries, right?”
