Chapter 227 The disciples walked with a swagger.
She didn't get the Nine-Tailed Fox, so why should that vixen Zhong Lingxin get it?
She wanted to slap her face until it was bruised, tear her robes to shreds, and whip her into the air with her beast-taming whip until she was completely destroyed.
Nangong Yike stepped forward and lashed out with her whip toward Zhong Lingxin's face.
The audience booed loudly.
Nangong Yike sneered, "Zhong Lingxin, are you scared now? It's too late. Today, I will definitely slap your face until it's covered in blood and feed it to my spirit beast."
Zhong Lingxin was speechless. Which eye of hers saw that she was afraid?
Zhong Lingxin reached out and was about to grab Nangong Yike's beast-taming whip.
Nangong Yike's smile became even more distorted. Her once pretty face was now devoid of eyes, leaving only her bright white teeth and her large, excitedly panting nose.
Zhong Lingxin smiled, her hand about to grab the beast-taming whip that Nangong Yike had slashed out. The barbs on the whip reflected in her eyes, flashing with a dark blue light.
Suddenly, Zhong Lingxin flashed forward, dodging Nangong Yike's beast-taming whip, and punched Nangong Yike in the chest.
Nangong Yike cursed under his breath, stepped back, and flipped his beast-taming whip to chase after Zhong Lingxin, trying to entangle her.
Zhong Lingxin had already anticipated this move. She continued to fly forward, raising her left hand, ready to unleash a powerful attack.
Nangong Yike realized the danger and retreated even faster.
In an instant, two beautiful women with flowing robes flew through the air, one retreating and the other chasing, accompanied by the seven-colored light of the beast-taming whip, circling the entire arena. It was a beautiful sight, drawing applause and cheers from the audience below.
Despite changing positions several times, Nangong Yike couldn't escape Zhong Lingxin's pursuit, and her angry curses became even more unpleasant.
Zhong Lingxin simply opened her mouth and let out a series of cold laughs, which accompanied her soul attack.
Nangong Yike had a magical artifact to protect her divine sense, so she was naturally not afraid of this soul attack. However, she was determined to win first place, and she lost the initiative as soon as she made her move, being chased and flying around the arena more than ten times.
The applause and cheers from the audience felt like slaps to her face; how could she bear it?
As she moved, a snake suddenly darted out and lunged at Zhong Lingxin's face.
Zhong Lingxin had been on guard against Nangong Yike's spirit beast. Upon seeing this, she suddenly lowered her body, and Nangong Yike's snake crashed directly into her beast-taming whip, so much so that she didn't have time to pull back the whip.
In that fleeting moment, the Soul-Slaying Sword in Zhong Lingxin's right hand suddenly blazed with golden light, causing Nangong Yike to squint. A rain of golden arrows rained down on Nangong Yike.
Nangong Yike's three spirit beasts rushed to her rescue, but were all blocked by Huanhuan, Xiaoxiao, and Lele.
Nangong Yike screamed, blood streaming from her eyes, and her body plummeted downwards.
It turned out that Zhong Lingxin's golden light had pierced her eyes.
Seeing Nangong Yike's body fall, Zhong Lingxin finally unleashed her Sky Cannon, slamming it down hard on Nangong Yike.
At this moment, the "sky-piercing cannon" should be called the "ground-piercing cannon," as it was thrown from above. With immense force, it struck Nangong Yike, slamming her three feet into the arena floor.
Before Nangong Yike could even react, Zhong Lingxin rained down punches on him, giving Nangong Yike no time to admit defeat.
When the match supervisor, who was presiding over the competition, saw that things were going badly and rushed over, Zhong Lingxin had already unleashed countless punches.
The crater on the arena grew larger and larger, the bottom of the crater was a bloody mess, and Nangong Yike could no longer be seen.
This time, Zhong Lingxin used a hidden method, one that Uncle Xuanyuan had once taught her.
On the surface, she did not blow Nangong Yike's head off, thus preserving her consciousness.
In reality, with each punch she delivered, Nangong Yike's consciousness had already been shaken, his entire sea of consciousness turned into a pool of blood, and he could never recover.
In mid-air, Nangong Yike's three spirit beasts were still battling Huanhuan, Lele, and Xiaoxiao.
The supervising officer was unsure whether to call a halt.
After a long while, Nangong Yike's nascent soul emerged from the bottom of the pit and shouted, "I admit defeat! I admit defeat!"
Zhong Lingxin clenched her fist fiercely and cursed, "Why didn't you just admit defeat? You've made my hand hurt! Ouch, it hurts so much! What kind of protective magic weapon is this? It's too powerful."
Nangong Yike's nascent soul trembled uncontrollably. She stared at Zhong Lingxin, wanting to curse and scream...
But looking at her mangled body at the bottom of the pit, and enduring the throbbing headache, she could only secretly vow to kill Zhong Lingxin next time.
The judge walked over and announced Zhong Lingxin's victory, giving her a jade token to participate in the competition. He then turned around and used a ball of spiritual energy to wrap around the bloody, mangled mass at the bottom of the pit.
Based on his combat experience, Nangong Yike probably won't recover so easily.
Sigh, both of the Beast Taming Sect's most likely disciples to win the Nascent Soul competition have lost. How can he not suppress the upward curve of his lips?
When disciples of the Beast Taming Sect were at a lower level, they took advantage of having many spirit beasts. Back when he was just a minor Golden Core or Nascent Soul cultivator, he suffered quite a few losses at the hands of the Beast Taming Sect.
Zhong Lingxin won another match.
This fight was won with sheer force of fists.
No one dared to underestimate Zhong Lingxin anymore.
Countless cultivators rushed to the casino, hoping to bet on Zhong Lingxin to win first place.
Unfortunately, the odds have been changed; they're now 1:1.
The casino manager, looking at the hundreds of millions of spirit stones that had suddenly appeared yesterday to bet on Zhong Lingxin's first place, felt like slapping himself to death.
Oh no, I'm going to lose everything this time!
Upon returning to her residence, Zhong Lingxin received a warm welcome from Sect Leader Lu.
Sect Leader Lu was extremely pleased with himself.
Yesterday, when he heard that Zhong Lingxin and the others had gone to the casino, he ordered his disciple to take spirit stones and follow them.
Whatever Zhong Lingxin bought, he would instruct his disciples to buy the same thing.
It's a pity that disciple was too timid; he didn't dare to go all in and only bet 30 million.
Nevertheless, he made a lot of money.
After a while, Long Ling'er returned and excitedly told Zhong Lingxin, "Master, I won! I won! The kid I fought was from the Taixu Sect. He was all talk and no action, and I almost beat him to death. That proctor was a scoundrel; he was definitely in cahoots with him. He announced my victory before the kid even admitted defeat. I'm so annoyed!"
Zhong Lingxin smiled. The proctors were all selected from various associations in Qingling City, but these associations had long had intricate connections with the major sects, so it was not surprising that they had some bias.
However, not a single disciple of the Qingyun Sect has held a position in any of the major associations in recent years, and it is unknown whether Sect Master Lu intends to place his own people in any of the major associations.
They'll probably plant it.
After all, Sect Master Lu is determined to push Qingyun Sect back to the top sect, and these things must be done.
Mei Yuqing also returned and defeated her opponent as well.
Three disciples from the Qingyun Sect suddenly made it into the top fifteen.
This made the spiritual energy in the Qingyun Sect's territory ethereal, and the disciples walked with a sense of speed and grace.
The final fifteen will be used to determine the top ten.
The rules are simple: whoever thinks they can get a certain ranking, announces it themselves, and anyone who disagrees can challenge them. In the end, the ranking will naturally be determined.
