Previously during the battle, there was one thing the Sword Saint couldn't figure out: Why did the previous generation's Sword Saint die here?
If the trial selected the three strongest corpses, his inclusion among the three meant the fourth strongest had been replaced. The enemies his predecessor faced must have been weaker, not stronger. And facing enemies of that caliber, even if his predecessor couldn't win, he shouldn't have fallen here.
Even if besieged by three opponents simultaneously, he would have had enough strength left to escape if he wanted to. At most, he would be severely injured. He definitely wouldn't die. At least, he was confident that if he truly wanted to flee, he absolutely wouldn't die just like that.
