Chapter 582: First
Inside the arena, the spectators were cheering wildly for Sima Yu Ling.
Their bets were on her and with her being a cultivator with fair and delicate skin certainly helped with her popularity.
Lin Er who was dressed in rough clothes and had a healthy tan on her looked different in comparison.
Only one person other than Lao Er was rooting for her.
Lin Xuan Qi glanced at Ling Er who also had the same determined look that Lao Er had.
He leaned back onto his seat after he saw her being confident and had a sip of the tea that was served to him.
After Lao Er’s match, he figured that it would be too much of a difference for her.
Sing!
Ling Er drew out her sword and she approached Sima Yu Ling slowly.
With every step she took, she turned her wrist to make the blade of the sword move slightly.
Sima Yu Ling thought that she would attack initially when she did so, and Sima Yu Ling shifted her feet to move to the left.
But after a few times of being tricked by Ling Er, Sima Yu Ling got angered by it.
When she saw Ling Er turn her wrist again, Sima Yu Ling lunged straight at Ling Er, thrusting her sword forward at Ling Er.
A gust of twirling wind shot out from the tip of the sword towards Ling Er.
Whoosh.
The twirling wind sliced through the air with its velocity and rotating form.
Ling Er was ready for it and she used the Snow Swan Sword Style Steps to dodge to the side.
And while she did so, she jabbed the tip of her sword onto the waist of Sima Yu Ling.
"Argh." Sima Yu Ling cried out in pain when the tip of Ling Er’s sword penetrated through her skin.
She swung her sword at Ling Er but Ling Er had already drawn out her sword from Sima Yu Ling’s waist.
Ling Er had leaped to the back of Sima Yu Ling and she slashed her sword downwards onto Sima Yu Ling’s exposed back.
"Get away from me!" Sima Yu Ling shouted and she took out a small turtle shell from her sleeve pocket.
The turtle shell glowed and a glowing turtle shell manifested on her back.
Dang!
The turtle shell blocked the slash from Ling Er at her.
When the spectators saw the scene of a young lady with a glowing turtle shell on her back, they had to keep it in.
It was something that they had never expected to see but there they were.
"It’s all your fault!" Sima Yu Ling’s face was flustered from it and she cursed at Ling Er.
But Ling Er ignored her and she bent her knees and slashed at the ankles of Sima Yu Ling.
Splatter.
It was successful and blood splattered out from the wounds of Sima Yu Ling.
The pain from the wound made Sima Yu Ling arch backwards.
"Argh!" She gave out another cry in pain.
However, it was not over for Sima Yu Ling yet.
Ling Er stood up and slashed her sword at the neck of Sima Yu Ling.
Dang!
Sima Yu Ling turned her sword upwards and blocked the attack from Ling Er.
Ling Er didn’t stop and she gave a kick at the wounded ankle of Sima Yu Ling, making Sima Yu Ling lose her strength for a moment.
It was enough for Ling Er to pull back her sword and slash at the body of Sima Yu Ling from the front.
Sima Yu Ling tried to block it but she wasn’t fast enough.
Splatter.
The sword of Ling Er gave out a glow in the form of a Swan and it sliced the chest and waist of Sima Yu Ling open diagonally.
Blood oozed and splattered out from the wound, dyeing the silk robes of Sima Yu Ling red.
Sima Yu Ling dropped onto her knees and she tried to glance at Ling Er.
But her eyelids shut before she could do so.
She fell onto the ground and lay motionlessly in the next moment.
Sima Yu saw what happened and he raised his hands, "I declare the winner for this match to be Ling Er from the South Lin Sword Sect."
The spectators turned silent once again.
This was the second time they had lost big on their bet against someone from the South Lin Sword Sect.
"What the hell..."
"I’ve lost all that I won in the other matches."
"You are lucky, I lost even the money for my daily expenses for the next few days."
They lamented at their losses and glanced at the remaining betting slips they had with them.
Hopefully the Qing Feng Sect disciples and competitors from the other Sects and Clans could help them win back some of their money.
Meanwhile, Ling Er stood on the stage and held the handle of her sword tightly.
She did it! And it was a resounding win.
Even though there weren’t any cheers for her from the spectators, it still felt great for her.
She finally had the sense that she was a cultivator.
"Well done, Ling Er!" Lao Er jumped and shouted at her.
She frowned and shook her head at him while she walked down the stage.
Lin Xuan Qi heard another long sigh from Sima Long and he knew what it meant.
He patted on the back of Sima Long and said, "Don’t be so gloomy, I’m sure the Sima Family will win the rest of the matches for today."
"You think so..." Sima Long frowned and glanced at him.
Lin Xuan Qi nodded his head with confidence and said, "I’m sure, you can make a bet with me on it if you want."
"No... No thanks." Sima Long shook his head at him and said.
The two matches didn’t go his way and he was losing confidence in his luck.
Better not lose more money to his buddy Lin Xuan Qi who was ever so lucky ever since he got to know him.
Sima Yu raised his hands when the competitors for the next match stood on the competition stage.
"Let the next match begin!"
Zhao Geng Nian frowned and glanced at Xiao Feng.
