Douluo: Martial Soul White Tiger, I am the White Emperor of Heaven

Chapter 187 Soul Power Surges, People from the Star Luo Empire Arrive

In Death Valley.

At this moment, Dai Chengfeng sat cross-legged in the center of the pool of blood, which flowed like a babbling brook. As he circulated his Innate Skill, his soul power transformed into a vortex, drawing all the killing intent scattered in the air around him into his body.

Although Dai Chengfeng is not the same as before, he is now very familiar with the process and can easily refine the killing intent.

But this time, it's different.

After all, over a thousand soul beasts died this time, and they had all accumulated their killing intent over countless years in a place like Death Valley...

Therefore, the killing intent this time was more overwhelming than Dai Chengfeng had ever encountered before.

Even on the battlefield, it could not compare.

After all, in the battles of Wu'an City and Wuping City, Dai Chengfeng only mobilized a total of 10,000 men each time, with no more than 1,000 casualties.

"call!"

At this moment, Dai Chengfeng felt the expansion of his meridians and watched the dark red killing intent rampaging through them, each flow feeling like sharp icicles scraping against his meridians.

Fortunately, his meridians were widened and strengthened by the Great Rejuvenation Pill and the Immortal Herb, which prevented the killing intent from completely getting out of control.

But even so.

Soon, veins bulged on Dai Chengfeng's forehead, and cold sweat from the excruciating pain soaked through his clothes and back.

"Hold on...!"

Dai Chengfeng bit his tongue, the sweet and pungent taste of blood stimulating his nerves.

He forcibly condensed his mental energy into a net, attempting to tame this out-of-control "beast".

In his sea of ​​consciousness, the chaotic mist churned into a vortex, and every time he grasped a trace of killing intent, more black waves of energy would disperse it.

He could no longer sense how long this pain lasted; he only knew that the sky over Death Valley had turned from dusk to midnight amidst the intense pain, and then gradually began to lighten.

Until, as the first rays of dawn pierced through the clouds, Dai Chengfeng was suddenly enveloped in a burst of light that was a mixture of gold and blood.

The once unruly killing intent, like a tamed wild horse, obediently flowed into the blood beads in his dantian.

As the last trace of lingering killing intent was absorbed, fine lines appeared on Dai Chengfeng's skin, but they quickly dissipated.

"call!"

Dai Chengfeng suddenly opened his eyes, the blood-red light flowing in his golden-blue pupils even more concentrated than before. He exhaled a breath of stale air, feeling the surging soul power within his body...

"Level 36!"

Dai Chengfeng's eyes lit up with joy. "Indeed, high risk means high reward."

"Previously, my soul power was only level 33, almost reaching level 34, but now it has been boosted to level 36 in one go."

Thinking it over, Dai Chengfeng slowly stood up, her gaze naturally sweeping across the distance, silently observing her surroundings, wary of Hu Liena who was protecting her.

Soon, Dai Chengfeng walked to her side.

"Thank you for protecting me."

Upon hearing Dai Chengfeng's voice, Hu Liena suddenly trembled, turned her head sharply, and met Dai Chengfeng's gaze.

Hu Liena shook her head. "No need to thank me. In fact, I should be the one thanking you for saving my life..."

Dai Chengfeng didn't mince words, but asked curiously, "Hu Liena, what good thing did you get when you were chased by so many soul beasts before?"

Upon hearing Dai Chengfeng's question, Hu Liena's eyes instantly filled with panic.

She subconsciously patted the dust off her clothes, forcing herself to remain calm, and said, "There's nothing good here, it's just an accident... a mission from the Spirit Hall."

She deliberately cast her gaze toward the distant mountains and forests, her fingers unconsciously twisting the edge of her battle skirt, unaware that her fox tail was swinging uncontrollably.

"Oh?"

Looking at Hu Liena's expression, Dai Chengfeng was completely disbelieving. He slowly approached, the lingering killing intent emanating from his body enveloping her as if it were a tangible force.

"People from the Spirit Hall?"

"Lying! Is this how you thank your savior?"

His words grew increasingly serious, while Hu Liena's shoulders shrunk lower and lower.

"Say it or not?!"

Until finally...

"Okay! Actually, I just wanted to beat you!"

Looking at Dai Chengfeng's piercing gaze, Hu Liena said in despair, "Ever since I lost to you last time, I've been thinking every night about how to get back at you! So this time, I devised a plan to use Beast Saliva Grass to lure soul beasts, intending to use the Demonic Domain to make them fight each other, but..."

"Anyway, it was a failure."

"I know it was my fault. I shouldn't have dragged them into this farce. I deliberately lured away most of the soul beasts to protect Xie Yue and Yan."

Hu Liena closed her eyes, not daring to look at Dai Chengfeng.

"Really?"

Dai Chengfeng was still somewhat skeptical. "Didn't you consider that among so many soul beasts, what if one has a special ability to break through the demonic domain?"

"I thought about it, but I was unwilling to give up. At that time, I was like I was possessed."

At this point, she suddenly raised her head and looked at Dai Chengfeng, "But I will not run away again. I have learned my lesson this time."

Looking at Hu Liena, who didn't seem to be lying, and recalling her in the original novel, after losing to Tang San, she resolutely stepped into the City of Slaughter...

In an instant, her figure in front of me and in my memory gradually overlapped.

It seems that such a possibility really exists?

"There weren't any rare and precious herbs, I wasted my time..."

"But never mind, after all, the soul power I gained and the God of Slaughter Domain this time are enough to satisfy me."

Dai Chengfeng thought for a moment, then shook his head helplessly, "Since that's the case, I hope you can remember this lesson."

After saying that, Dai Chengfeng said no more and turned to walk alone into the depths of Death Valley.

But then, the sound of light footsteps came from behind.

He turned around and saw Hu Liena frozen in place like a child who had done something wrong, her ears and tail standing up nervously.

"Aren't you going to find Xie Yue and Yan?" Dai Chengfeng asked, frowning.

"They're definitely safe now, since I lured away most of the soul beasts."

Hu Liena gripped the hem of her clothes tightly. "Now I want to see... how you cultivate. I want to become as strong as you."

Her voice grew softer and softer, yet it carried an undeniable determination.

"no!"

After Dai Chengfeng finished speaking, he continued on his way.

But the footsteps behind her continued, and Hu Liena, like a stubborn little tail, silently followed ten steps behind.

In the shadows, a ghostly figure lurked among the trees, letting out a soft sigh: "Young Master Qian Renxue had barely left when she was entangled by Hu Liena. This is truly..."

"Wow, he really can do whatever he wants!"

In the days that followed, Dai Chengfeng continued his intense training and killing spree.

They moved through the dense forest, precisely hunting down each soul beast.

Hu Liena, on the other hand, acted like a diligent observer, even possessing a small notebook filled with densely packed notes:

Weather: Sunny.

Dai Chengfeng's cultivation today was still normal.

If there's one anomaly, it's that...

His roast chicken smells so good, I can smell it!
The month-long training in Death Valley had already lasted for more than twenty days.

Today, at the gate of Wuhun City.

A magnificent carriage bearing the White Tiger Flag of the Star Luo Empire drove through the city gate in full view of everyone.

Inside the carriage, a gentle woman dressed in a moon-white dress anxiously looked around through the window.

Her features bore a striking resemblance to Dai Chengfeng's, but her expression was now filled with worry: "I wonder how Chengfeng is doing, and where he's being held?"

"Did Bibi Dong use torture?"

At this moment, the woman in red gently grasped her hand: "Your Majesty, please rest assured. Although Prince Chengfeng is in the enemy camp, with his abilities, his life is not in danger."

"It's just tough..."

"You've probably eaten quite a lot!"
