Chapter 411 Third round (7)
The first match of the day was between William and Long Shui Ling.
So not long after we arrived at the stadium, Long Shui Ling was already being called up to the stage.
Before she left, I took her hand and squeezed it before saying, "Good luck."
Though this might seem a bit suspicious before, it was fine now because the others had suggestions in them. So even if they were to see this, they wouldn't really react to a small thing like this.
Long Shui Ling looked back at me with a touched look before saying, "Don't worry, I got this."
Though I still felt a bit worried, I gave a nod to show my confidence in her.
With that, Long Shui Ling headed off to the stage.

William had arrived on the stage first, so he was already standing on the stage when Long Shui Ling came out.
As he watched Long Shui Ling step onto the stage, he couldn't help narrowing his eyes.
Even if he was a fool, he would still recognize Long Shui Ling.
William was a thorough person, so he had checked the background of all the people from Elementia before this tournament.
He wanted to make sure that there wouldn't be any problems with taking his revenge against Elementia.
Long Shui Ling was one of those problems that he wanted to avoid.
It wasn't because she was a beauty that he hesitated to hurt her, it was because of her status.
It was the Long Family that made him hesitate.
He knew that Elementia wouldn't be able to do anything to him if he were to hurt their members in this tournament.
If they were to retaliate against him because of what happened in this tournament, there was no doubt that they would receive backlash. At the same time, the other large guilds would be there to support him since they would want him to join them.
It was different with the Long Family.
If he hurt Long Shui Ling and incurred the wrath of the Long Family, there would be no one to cover him. Even the large guilds that would want to recruit him would leave him to fend for himself.
After all, the Long Family's power couldn't be looked down on.
The power of money was not something that could be resisted.
So William really didn't want to do anything to Long Shui Ling.
But he also couldn't just let her go since she was a part of Elementia.
If he really let her go, it would destroy his plan to get revenge on Elementia for his father.
The only thing that he could do now was…
"Surrender now and I'll spare you." He had to put on a tough face and try to convince Long Shui Ling to surrender. As long as she surrendered, then he wouldn't have to worry about all of this.
But he wasn't surprised when he heard her say, "I will take my revenge on you for hurting my friends."
Inside, William was screaming, "Just surrender and leave me alone!"
On the surface, he gave a snort as he said, "Have it your way. There will be no mercy."
Seeing that the two of them had finished, the judge said, "Let the fight begin."
As soon as the judge said this, William charged at Long Shui Ling.
Around him were those same spatial blades that he had used before.
He really meant it when he said that he wouldn't be holding back as there were more of these blades than before. It seemed that he was planning on ending this in one move…
But he still knew how far he should take this.
The first spatial blade that he threw out was only supposed to leave a slight injury after Long Shui Ling dodged out of the way. But to his surprise, she didn't move a single inch.
It was as if she had no fear towards this spatial blade at all.

William didn't divert the spatial blade at first since he was certain that she would dodge out of the way. He was certain that she wouldn't just stand there for him to hit her.
He never would have thought that she would actually do that.
Before he could stop it, the spatial blade hit Long Shui Ling's body and cut her right in half.
The top part of her body fell to the ground while the bottom part of her body just remained there standing.
William didn't know what to think as he stared at the two halves of Long Shui Ling's body.
He didn't even realize that…it was too quiet.
There wasn't a single sound around him, which was very strange since there should have been many spectators here.
If they had really seen Long Shui Ling being cut in half like this, there was no doubt that someone would have made some sound.
But there wasn't a single sound around him.
While William was still dazed, he saw Long Shui Ling's 'corpse' suddenly start to move.
The top part seemed to sit up on its own before starting to crawl towards William.
He just watched as Long Shui Ling's severed top half that was covered in blood started to crawl towards him.
Seeing her like this made him reveal a look of fear and he couldn't help taking a step back.
But when he did, he found that he suddenly bumped into something.
When he turned around, he found Yun Che standing behind him.
"What are you…" Before he could finish, he found that Yun Che was already grabbing him from behind.
He wasn't able to break free of Yun Che's grasp no matter how much he struggled.
During this, Yun Che said, "How dare you do that to me!"
William couldn't take it anymore and said, "Judge, isn't this against the rules!"
But he found that the judge wasn't there anymore.
In fact, there was no one that was currently around him.
It was as if he was in a completely different space.
