Chapter 273: Showdown
“Ten silver taels, I bet that E Shulan wins,” said someone who immediately went over to place a bet.
“Ten silver taels, I bet that Lan Xinyu wins,” said someone else who immediately placed a bet after the person before him was done.
“Hey, idiot. Didn’t you hear them just now? That Deity’s Servant Girl is at Battle Qi Level 8,” rebuked the first person.
“Yes, but Lan Xinyu has a Level 3 monster beast.”
“What’s the use of a Level 3 monster beast? In a duel of abilities, Battle Qi is the most important. Unless her monster beast can be a little stronger.”
The audience were placing bets and engaging in various discussions at present. Most of the people had chosen to place their bets on E Shulan. The first person who had bet on E Shulan and voiced his opinion was not wrong. In these kinds of special fights between strong cultivators, the benefit of using a Level 3 monster beast was not very clear.
Naturally, Ling Chuxi also heard all the ongoing discussions around her, but her heart was thinking of other matters. If they were to talk about Battle Qi, with the help of the Tian Luo Pill, Lan Xinyu was already at Battle Qi Level 8 and therefore was not any weaker than E Shulan. Furthermore, with the a.s.sistance of her Level 3 Battle Wolf in the fight, logically speaking, she had a greater chance of winning the battle.
However, thinking about E Shulan’s sword, Ling Chuxi felt a little uneasy. Firstly, the dean had specially warned her about it and then she had personally witnessed the might of it not long after. Just the small sword of the mother-son sword pair was able to break Lan Xinyu’s golden whip with a single strike. If the two swords were combined, how strong would the mother-son sword pair be?
“So, we meet again. I’m really sorry about what happened the last time,” said E Shulan as she looked at Lan Xinyu gently, her face full of the kindness and love a Deity’s Servant Girl should have.
“The incident always comes to mind. I remember very well what happened the last time. You do not need to pretend in front of me. I have long since seen through to what kind of person you are,” retorted Lan Xinyu as she glanced at E Shulan in despise. She was not tricked by the gentle expression on E Shulan’s face. She had personally witnessed how sinister and malicious this Deity’s Servant Girl was. It was just an argument, but E Shulan had actually wanted to destroy her face. If it was not for Ling Chuxi’s warning at the critical moment, it was fearful to think that her face might have ended up the same way her whip did.
E Shulan could clearly see the despise in Lan Xinyu’s eyes and she snorted in her heart. If it weren’t for Ling Chuxi, she would not have intentionally put down her att.i.tude to act nice toward Lan Xinyu. Since Lan Xinyu did not accept her kindness when she offered it, then Lan Xinyu only had herself to blame.
In the fighting ring, the referee hit the bell and announced the start of the match.
The gambling house also stopped taking bets and everyone quietened down to watch the stage nervously in antic.i.p.ation.
Lan Xinyu’s wrist moved and with a snap, her golden whip created a beautiful golden arc whisking through the air. Her entire body gave off an even more heroic feeling at the moment.
E Shulan also slowly drew out her sword. Including Ling Chuxi, it was the first time everyone saw the true countenance of this sword which was bestowed by the Deity Temple. The long blade of the beautiful sword flashed like moonlight reflected against clear water, and it came out of its sheath with a crisp, trembling sound. For a long time, it did not stop, as if it had a special spirit movement.
“A good sword!” Fu Chengyu praised. As a prince, he had an extraordinary background and he himself had extremely strong strength. Furthermore, his judgement was not bad. Even he had praised the sword. Naturally, this sword was not a common item.
Ling Chuxi was also slightly surprised. The spirit of this sword was already comparable to that of the Luo Chen Sword in its previous state, but after it received the tempering of heavenly thunder, the Luo Chen Sword in its current state harbored an extra peculiar aura. It was as if an awakened soul was hidden in the depths of the sword, but it was inaccessible.
Although it was not comparable to the Luo Chen Sword in its current state, E Shulan’s Level 8 Battle Qi, coupled with the spirituality in this sword meant that the difficulty for Lan Xinyu’s chances of winning was not little.
