73 One Sword to Victory
Kingsley, the Unicorn Duke behind Ning Shi, said, “Lena is very talented. She’s been able to reach this level in just two months. If there’s enough time, she’ll definitely be able to defeat Gray.
“It’s a pity that the victory has already been decided.”
First Prince Chapman nodded and praised, “The vine-type bloodline is indeed the bloodline with the strongest vitality among the eight great branches.
“Gray has the bloodline of the poisonous reed vine. Not only is his body extremely flexible, but he can also stretch and change his body in a way that ordinary people can’t. His attacks also contain poison, and he can absorb vitality from the damage he dealt to his enemies.
“In order to fight with the vine-type bloodline, one had to have enough explosive power to break through the opponent’s defense limit.
Once you’re caught in a battle, you’ll be tortured to death.”
Ning Shi heard the conversation and turned back to question, “Your Highness Chapman, I wonder what the royal family thinks about the fact that the candidate for the Duke of Rose has a vine-type bloodline instead of a snake bloodline?”
Chapman didn’t know what to say. This was not a glorious matter. As the heir to the Duke of Rose, Gray was supposed to inherit the snake bloodline.
“Where did this nobody come from?” Duke Georgina scolded. “Do you have the right to interrupt when the nobles are talking?”
Ning Shi chuckled, “Are you all nobles? I’m sorry, I’m sorry. I didn’t expect that the high and mighty nobles would be a little blind and unable to see the battle situation clearly.”
As soon as Ning Shi’s voice fell, Lena, who had been tortured by the double negative states of poison attack and vitality absorption, reached the critical point, and the effect of unyielding will was triggered.
Lena’s face suddenly turned red, and the negative effects were almost completely removed. Her speed suddenly increased!
Her battle prowess had been greatly enhanced, and she finally pulled out the Golden Serpent Sword that had never been unsheathed!
“Zing!”
A huge golden sword ray rose from the ground. On the blade, there were red flames and green wind blades.
This attack directly triggered a 25% chance of a triple-critical hit!
Gray felt the danger, and all the hair on his body stood up. He tried to dodge, but it was to no avail.
Buzzzzzz!
Gray felt his lower body turn cold, and he could no longer feel his legs.
With just one sword strike, Gray’s entire body was split into two from the base of his leg!
Fresh blood spurted out wildly, raising a red color in the air, and then sprinkled on the battle stage.
“Du du du! Lena wins!”
The judge was an expert, so he immediately announced the result of the match.
“Argh! Ah! Save me! Quickly save me!”
Gray had lost his combat ability, but he was still alive. Vine-type bloodline warriors had strong vitality. As long as he recuperated properly, his legs could be reconnected.
However, the pain from his broken limbs made Gray, who was already weak-willed, howl in pain.
He couldn’t care less about his dignity as a noble and cried for help in fear.
The audience below the stage was originally very lively, but at this moment, they were shocked by the bloody scene and the miserable howls.
The entire place was silent.
The arena battle wasn’t a game. Sacred honor was exchanged for one’s life.
Ning Shi smiled and pointed at the screaming Gray. “I told you, your eyes are really bad. With such shallow knowledge, you don’t look like nobles who have received elite education.”
Georgina was furious after being insulted by Ning Shi. She almost attacked but was stopped by Chapman.
“Mr. Zhang San, I hope you can still be this happy when you fight against my third brother, Alesia.”
Chapman didn’t like Alesia, but he knew how strong he was. He had seen the arrangement and knew that Zhang San would fight Alesia in the last round.
In contrast to Chapman and Georgina’s embarrassment and anger, Duke Kingsley was completely shocked.
He closed his pure white eyes and muttered, “It’s also one of the eight great branches, but a Level 3 bloodline is able to defeat a Level 5 bloodline. This is an unprecedented feat!
“Lena’s talent is terrifying!”
In Gray’s faction, Dupont, the Marquis of Blackstone, clenched the armrests of his table and chairs tightly, the veins on his hands bulging.
“I didn’t think that Lena’s talent would be so amazing. She only trained for two months, and she was able to defeat Gray, who had trained for more than ten years. We seem to have made the wrong choice!”
Dupont was very upset, but the Marquis of the Dolphin, who was next to him, did not feel so burdened. He praised.
“That sword just now was brilliant and scorching hot!
I’ve practiced swordsmanship for thirty years, but I can’t even compare to this sword!”
Alesia’s eyes were filled with fanaticism as he stared at the beautiful Lena on the stage.
“Lionheart, you’re right. Lena is the peerless great empress. Such a powerful and beautiful woman is the one I should pursue!”
Lionheart Blade trembled and said, “Alesia, Lena’s victorious strike made me feel the great power of fate.
“We’ve done so much just to make Lena lose her position as Duke, but fate is everywhere. It seems that it’s secretly setting things right, and the position of Duke will always belong to Lena.”
Alesia showed his rarely-seen decisiveness.
“No, Lionheart.
“Everything we do will leave traces and influence.
“Although Lena won against Gray, we will still win the subsequent two battles.
“The dukedom is Gray’s if I say so. Even fate can not twist my will.”
The Lionheart Blade fell silent again. It was extremely tired.
The young man didn’t know the immensity of heaven and earth and didn’t understand the great power of fate, which was why he dared to speak so arrogantly.
Lena shook her hand, and the blood on the sword was all blown away.
“Zing!” She sheathed his sword!
“Lady Lena! Lady Lena! Lady Lena!”
The crowd of onlookers below the stage finally came back to their senses and crazily shouted the winner’s name.
In the midst of the cheers, Lena slowly walked down the stage. She went straight to Ning Shi’s side and kissed his cheek, ignoring the crowd’s attention.
Instantly, Ning Shi became the man who received the most attention.
Countless men stared at Ning Shi with envious eyes, especially Alesia, whose eyes were about to spit fire.
Observing Lena up close, Ning Shi could feel her excitement. He couldn’t help sighing in his heart. Lena was really born to fight.
Not only did she not reject dangerous battles, but she would also immerse herself in the thrill of the battle.
Although Figo was also jealous of Ning Shi, he was overjoyed in his heart.
“Father, I didn’t expect Lena to defeat Gray. This is great!
“Next, as long as I defeat Val, Lena will become a Duke, and our wish can still be fulfilled!”
Tagore was also excited, and his palms were full of sweat. Lena had just defeated Gray with one strike, and his heart was in his throat!
After Hawk left, he no longer held any hope for victory in the arena.
He had already arranged an escape route. After the competition ended, he would take his tribesmen and a small number of the Rose Knights’ loyal troops and escape back to the Ole Empire.
He didn’t expect things to take a turn for the better, and Lena defeated Gray in an impossible situation!
“Figo, my son, the future of the family is in your hands! As the unrivaled tiger bloodline, I believe that you will be the winner!”
Figo stood up with confidence and prepared to go up the stage for a duel.
Before he left, he did not forget to mock Ning Shi.
“Zhang San, I’m sorry, but you won’t have the chance to play! However, you should thank me. My victory can prevent you from being massacred by His Highness Alesia.”
Ning Shi held Lena’s warm hand and said with a smile, “I’m looking forward to your performance!”
In Gray’s camp, Val held a long sword and was ready to go up, but Duke Georgina stopped him.
“Val, my child, the title of Duke is no longer important. We must fight for the dignity of the vine-type bloodline in this battle! The so-called invincible tiger bloodline is all bullshit!”
Georgina had always been resentful of the tiger bloodline’s honor of being invincible in one-on-one combat. In her heart, the vine-type bloodline was the strongest.
In addition, she was provoked by Ning Shi’s words. Georgina was a little emotional and actually cursed in front of everyone in the hall.
All the nobles sat upright and still, as if they had not heard Duke Georgina’s words.
Compared to Gray’s bamboo-like body, Val’s body was well-proportioned, and he exuded a strong bloody aura.
After hearing his mother’s words, a cruel smile appeared on Val’s face, and his red pupils revealed a bloodthirsty light.
“Don’t worry, Your Excellency. I can’t wait to taste Figo’s blood!”
