Yun Qingyan slowly opened her eyes.
Her deep black eyes were cold and devilish as if they could absorb anything with light.
Su Ling was so frightened that she took two steps back, then she started getting angry with her embarrassment.
“HUMPH! You’ve even learned how to play dead? Don’t think that you can get away with this just because you pretend to be dead!” With that, she cracked her whip towards Yun Qingyan’s face once more!
But a sallow little hand grabbed on tightly to the other end of the long whip.
“You want to hit me?” A slightly hoarse voice rang out. The corner of Yun Qingyan’s eyes curved upwards slightly and her black eyes were icy cold and bloodthirsty.
“You’re not worthy to do so!” After Yun Qingyan made this declaration, Su Ling suddenly stumbled forward.
The skinny person lying on the ground had suddenly picked herself up without anyone realizing, as she moved her wrist slightly and held onto the whip with one move.
She exerted some strength with that hand, and the long whip slipped out from Su Ling’s hand like a snake.
The tables had suddenly turned and this scene that happened all of a sudden caused everyone to be rooted to the spot in shock.
“Give me back the whip!” Su Ling’s face was all red and she was about to pounce on Yun Qingyan.
She didn’t think about how the whip had left her own hand so easily with just a slight move from Yun Qingyan’s hand.
“Tsk.” There was no way Yun Qingyan was letting Su Ling come anywhere near her.
She smiled coldly and the long whip in her hands became like a snake with a mind of its own, and it danced about without leaving a single gap.
Su Ling tried to avoid the lashes, but she realized that the other party seemed to know exactly which direction she was headed in, so no matter which side she ran towards, the long whip was always able to land neatly on herself.
“Ah!” Su Ling was a pampered daughter since she was born and had never suffered like this before, and so she started howling from the terrible pain.
All the spectators were just watching in a daze at the sallow petite person on the battling platform.
She had never caught their attention before, but now she was like a beam of light, capturing their focus immediately.
She still had the same face and she still had the same physical body, but she seemed to have changed completely on the inside. That arrogance and self-confidence was the center of focus no matter what she looked like.
An ordinary long whip had become alive in her hands, and it was like an artistic performance in itself.
If someone who knew anything about this whipping method was around, they would have been able to see immediately that even though Yun Qingyan seemed to be lashing the whip about at random, there was actually a pattern of sorts in every move she made. Her whipping method was close to the Intricate level.
The Intricate level was a level that many people only reached after they had been training hard for perhaps eight or nine decades of their life. But now, a young lady who wasn’t even fifteen years old had attained this level.
“Stop! Stop! I…I…admit…” The pain was getting difficult to endure, so Su Ling raised a trembling voice to admit defeat.
But of course, Yun Qingyan wasn’t going to let her off this easily.
She leaped forward and found herself right next to Su Ling. Yun Qingyan flicked her five fingers and there was a crisp cracking sound as Su Ling’s jaw was immediately dislocated, so even though she wanted to finish her sentence with the word ‘defeat,’ she couldn’t say it anymore.
“Su Ling, use Elemental Power! Elemental Power!”
The spectators below the battling platform snapped out of their daze, and some of Su Ling’s best friends quickly started shouting this at her.
After being chased about so embarrassingly by the whip, Su Ling finally remembered that she had Elemental Power, while Yun Qingyan was nothing but a useless character.
How dare this Yun Qingyan treat her like this?! Su Ling decided that even if she couldn’t kill Yun Qingyan, she wanted to make her life a living hell, and make sure that Yun Qingyan fell on her knees to beg for mercy.
Su Ling quickly backed away and restored her jaw to its original position despite the pain, so she could finally speak again.
But this time around, she didn’t intend to admit defeat.
She clasped her hands together tightly such as a faint white glow started to gather around her fingertips.
Elemental Power? When Yun Qingyan could feel this familiar yet strange energy from Su Ling, she was surprised for a moment, but then her expression became contemptuous.
This was an energy that was way lower in power than Star Power, and this woman was trying to use this on her? Yun Qingyan used to be a Godly Sovereign!
Even if Su Ling was hoping to die, this wasn’t the way to do it.
The long whip attacked Su Ling’s hands fiercely like a sentient snake, so Su Ling trembled from the pain, and the white light she had gathered earlier dissipated in an instant.
A look of fury appeared on Su Ling’s pretty face as she said viciously, “Yun Qingyan if you dare, let me finish gathering my energy together before you attack!”
But Yun Qingyan just glanced at her lazily. Her actions were flippant and seemed to be mocking Su Ling. “Let you finish gathering your energy together? Did you think I am as stupid as you and that I would go out of the house every day without bringing my brain along?”
