The torrential rain fell like a curtain, soaking the grassland and turning it muddy.
Warhorses raised their hooves, splashing up sheets of water.
Rainwater streamed down the snow-white armor, washing away the bloody roses painted upon it.
Blood dripped to the ground along with the rain.
"Kill!"
The sounds of battle rose and fell, the clash of blades like a symphony heralding the coming victory.
Luo Li held a white longsword streaked with red patterns. Every swing claimed several lives.
His eyes had grown utterly cold through countless campaigns and slaughter, like ice that had never melted for ten thousand years.
"Luo Li!"
A burly man nearly two meters tall, surrounded by eight spirit rings, roared as he swung a massive broadsword at Luo Li.
That strike was overwhelmingly powerful, as though it could shatter gold and crystal alike!
Sixth Spirit Skill: Giant Sword Without Edge!
Luo Li leaped into the air, his body nimble as he effortlessly evaded the oncoming giant sword.
He lightly tapped the giant sword with his toes, then thrust his longsword forward like a dragon. The fifth black spirit ring around him lit up.
The blood-red patterns surrounding the blade suddenly flared to life.
Fifth Spirit Skill: Life-Consuming Sword Edge!
The burly man's pupils abruptly contracted, but it all happened in the blink of an eye. His body had no time to react.
The longsword pierced through his neck, and blood erupted forth.
The burly man clutched his throat, veins bulging across his face like coiling snakes.
He tried to mend his injuries with Soul Power, but the longsword was frantically and eerily draining the life force from his body.
Moments later, that enormous body crashed heavily onto the ground, blood mixing with the rainwater on the grassland.
"The enemy commander is dead! All soldiers of the White Robe Army, charge and seize the enemy!"
Luo Li pulled out his longsword and raised it high, his voice amplified by his powerful Soul Power until it resounded across the chaotic battlefield.
The army's morale surged at once.
"Kill!"
In stark contrast, the enemy army had fallen into complete disarray.
With their commanding general dead and their morale shattered, their strength waned while Luo Li's side surged. The situation on the battlefield instantly became one-sided.
The soldiers scattered like ants from a destroyed nest, fleeing in all directions with no will to fight left.
The torrential rain gradually faded, and the dark clouds began to disperse.
Brilliant golden sunlight shone directly through the clouds, illuminating the vast grassland.
Victory was assured!
The blood staining the longsword was eerily absorbed by the crimson marks on its blade.
Luo Li's lips curled slightly, and he was in quite a good mood.
The life of a Soul Douluo had brought him another substantial boost.
Luo Li was a transmigrator, born into the Luo Family, one of the Seven Great Soul Master Families of the Heaven Dou Empire. When he was six, he awakened the Twin Sword Martial Souls: Reincarnation Twin Swords.
This martial soul was extremely unusual. It consisted of two entirely different longswords, yet it was not a case of Twin Martial Souls.
One sword was Sun Eclipse, possessing ultimate life and holy attributes, symbolizing the side of light.
The other was Moon Devourer, possessing ultimate life and evil attributes, capable of devouring life force to grow stronger.
Because of this trait, Luo Li had joined the Heaven Dou Army.
What place could offer more life force than a battlefield?
And now, at seventeen years old, Luo Li had become a true Soul Douluo through this ability. His military achievements were equally illustrious, even surpassing Heaven Dou God of War Ge Long!
After this expedition to suppress the rebel army of an important kingdom under the Heaven Dou Empire, all his military achievements would reach a new peak once more!
Xue Ye was wary of him, yet he had never moved to suppress him.
It was not only because of the Luo Family behind Luo Li, one of the Seven Great Soul Master Families, but also because...
The Heaven Dou Empire desperately needed a Titled Douluo who truly belonged to it!
The seventeen-year-old Luo Li was undoubtedly the person Xue Ye most needed to win over!
Even if his achievements had already begun to overshadow his ruler...
"My lord, news has arrived from the imperial capital. His Highness the Third Prince has passed away from illness."
A soldier came to Luo Li's side and spoke softly.
"Oh?" Luo Li understood at once.
Qian Renxue really can't sit still any longer.
After the Second Prince came the Third Prince. No wonder Xue Ye has grown suspicious of her.
However, Xue Ye would only be somewhat displeased. He would not take any further action against "Xue Qinghe."
There was no helping it. The imperial family was simply like this.
Xue Ye wanted even more to have a prince capable of inheriting his position, even if he was cold and ruthless.
As long as he could inherit the throne, such trivial issues would not be issues at all.
Luo Li had no intention of provoking Qian Renxue.
Although he had the Luo Family, one of the Seven Great Soul Master Families, behind him, and possessed Soul Douluo-level cultivation himself, making him a powerhouse in the Soul Master world,
he was still far inferior to Qian Renxue when it came to background.
After all, she had the entire Spirit Hall behind her, along with her Limit Douluo grandfather, Qian Daoliu!
As long as Qian Renxue did not interfere with his slaughtering enemies and leveling up, Luo Li had no interest whatsoever in what she did within the Heaven Dou Imperial Family.
Given the traits of his martial soul and his talent, his chances of becoming a god were extremely high.
Moreover, he already had an inheritance in hand.
Wouldn't it be better to steadily develop and become a god?
Luo Li did not want to gamble on whether he possessed the protagonist's plot armor to save his life.
After returning this time and claiming the military achievements Xue Ye had previously promised him, he would temporarily stop campaigning.
The life force he had absorbed during this expedition was simply too great. He needed some time to digest and absorb it.
The baleful aura produced by excessive killing was not much of a problem.
He had already visited the City of Slaughter once, and with Tang Yuehua's Noble Domain, he had gained control over his killing intent.
However, Luo Li might have thought so, but that did not mean everyone else would...
Heaven Dou City
Crown Prince's Eastern Palace
Qian Renxue, disguised as Crown Prince Xue Qinghe, looked at the intelligence report in her hand with a headache.
She raised her slender fingers and pressed them to her brow, letting out a soft sigh.
"Luo Li..."
The contents of the report were simple:
The White Robe God of War, Luo Li, had triumphed once again!
Qian Renxue was no stranger to Luo Li.
Because of her identity as Prince Xue Qinghe, she had dealt with him many times.
Qian Renxue had to admit that he was the most astonishing person she had ever seen.
It was not only his military talent. His cultivation talent was equally terrifying!
He had even made Qian Renxue, an unparalleled genius with a God-tier Martial Soul and Innate Soul Power at rank twenty, feel inferior to him!
At seventeen, he was even younger than she was, yet his cultivation had already far surpassed hers, reaching the terrifying level of a Soul Douluo!
Such exceptional brilliance had undoubtedly drawn the attention of the endlessly proud Qian Renxue.
She had invited Luo Li more than once.
Yet Luo Li had never responded, always maintaining an ambiguous distance from her.
That was why Qian Renxue had such a headache.
At present, the only person in the Heaven Dou Empire she truly feared was this White Robe God of War.
The foremost figure in the military carried an extraordinary significance.
If he supported the only remaining Fourth Prince, then even with her current favorable position, she might not be able to remain secure.
But if she sent the Titled Douluo of the Worship Hall to assassinate him...
Qian Renxue could not bear to do it.
It would be far too regrettable if such an extraordinary talent could not be used by her!
Her fair fist slowly clenched.
Qian Renxue silently made up her mind.
She would definitely conquer that man!
