Chapter 313 The White Rainbow Sword Saint Yi, who slays the Arhat of the Rabbit Clan!

[Captain Anya was attacked by a troll, but managed to escape alone. She alerted everyone in the Spirit Realm to be on high alert.]

[Luo Yi is currently processing the miraculous events surrounding the birth of his "heart" and, upon learning from Miss Delilah that Captain Anya is injured, immediately goes to visit his friend, Captain Anya.]

Captain Anya frequently advocates for Luo Yi's interests before Lord Alice Morningstar.

As a veteran who had retired from the Morning Star Legion, Captain Anya's prestige was second only to the Lord. However, because of the human Luo Yi, she still had to relinquish a considerable amount of benefits to the other captains.

Although Captain Anya never mentioned it, Luo Yi had witnessed it all. For three years, the two had carried out missions in the mist, trusting each other and sharing a life-or-death bond.

For Luo Yi, Captain Anya was both a friend and a mentor, second only to his brother and Miss Delilah in status.

"Something's happened!"

[Captain Anya gritted her teeth: "That bastard Jura, after learning from Lord Alice that the Fang Chieftain was dead, actually conspired with two other captains to break through the Fang tribe's spiritual realm for the sake of the Spirit Seed..."]

Luo Yi remained silent.

[Zhu La is another captain in the Green Language Clan.]

The Spirit Realm exists based on "Spirit Veins." The Heavenly Gift Seed for cultivation in the Black Iron Realm must be planted on a Spirit Vein and requires special substances to grow. It is extremely rare and the supply is limited.

To obtain more cultivation resources, one must either plunder from others or possess one's own spiritual realm.

Clearly, the three captains had conspired to conceal this from Captain Anya and Lord Alice. They had embezzled the spirit seed from the Spirit Realm, which resulted in the Rabbit Clan losing the offerings from the Fang Clan, thus angering the Rabbit Clan.

It's important to understand that the Rabbit Clan's policy of "keeping to themselves" towards the Star-Moon Clan is simply because the Rabbit Clan needs the Star-Moon Clan's strength to fight their common enemy!

However, this is not a reason for the small Emerald Whisper Territory to provoke the Rabbit Clan.

—The Spirit Realm Island is our foundation for survival; not an inch of it will be yielded!

As the dominant race, the rabbit clan cannot tolerate the survival of mere ants who challenge its authority; they must retaliate in kind!

"Yi, we're in trouble now. The trolls have mastered the rabbit race's body-forging techniques and are the main force for the rabbit race's wilderness expansion. Their leader, Cook, has strength comparable to a Gold Realm expert!"

"Moreover... the Rabbit Clan actually dispatched a troll to handle this matter; it seems they intend to destroy Emerald Whisper Territory!"

Captain Anya was accidentally struck by the troll leader Cook's slingshot attack and seriously injured on the spot. She was still somewhat shaken by the terrifying power she had witnessed.

[The Rabbit Clan has a legitimate reason for attacking this time, and the nobles of the Morning Star Empire will most likely compromise and choose to relinquish the spirit realm "Emerald Whisper Territory." This is what Captain Anya is most worried about.]

Moreover, that bastard Jura has already been beheaded by the troll Cook and sacrificed to his cause. Captain Anya is now filled with rage, but she is too weak to speak!

Captain Anya was unaware that Luo Yi was already a "Commander of the Army." The more she analyzed the matter, the more uneasy she became. Ignoring her injuries, she entered the Spirit Vein Land to request an audience with Lord Alice.

[We hope the lord will dispatch a "Golden Arrow" from the "Great Spirit Realm" to oversee the realm for a period of time.]

[—Alice Morning Star.]

The surname Morning Star is one of the three noble surnames of the Moon Elf Empire. The fact that other races in the Spirit Realm refer to the Spirit Realm to which the Star Moon Clan belongs as the "Moon Empire" or "Morning Star Empire" speaks volumes.

Alice's mid-level spiritual realm was granted to her by a powerful figure; her mother was none other than the Star and Moon Envoy, who held sway over a region!

[He is also Captain Anya's direct superior.]

Although Alice was disdainful, in order to deal with the nagging Captain Anya, she dispatched a messenger to "Spirit Realm: Crescent Moon City," eight hundred miles away.

Luo Yi didn't want to see Lord Alice. The Morning Star nobles were inherently arrogant; Alice wouldn't even deign to acknowledge him, a mere human, with her "eyes."

After listening to Captain Anya's analysis of the situation, Luo Yi realized that the Spirit Realm was facing a crisis of destruction. However, he had no attachment to the Emerald Whisper Territory; as the "Commander of the Army," he would be an honored guest wherever he went.

He returned to the treehouse, took out a map of the nearby "spirit realm," and analyzed the situation with Miss Delilah.

The nearest mid-level spiritual realm is three hundred miles away, while the human spiritual realm is even further, requiring crossing a mountain range. Any delay along the way will make it virtually impossible to reach it within twenty-four hours.

However, Miss Delilah and her girlfriend Eve are already at the first blood level, and their energy and spirit will allow them to endure longer in the mist.

Traveling light isn't necessarily a bad thing.

[Luo Yi led "Cat Senior" into the mist this morning to carry out a guard duty. As an outsider, he could only work the day shift, and at this crucial moment, he was unable to guard the Spirit Realm Pass on the Emerald Tree.]

Luo Yi felt no trust, but he had grown up with it and was used to it.

[Thus, for five days, Emerald Whisper Territory remained on high alert, and the neighboring troll Cook never took any drastic action. Just as the captain of the guard breathed a sigh of relief...]

[In the dead of night, the troll army of Cook swept through the Spirit Realm pass, wreaking havoc on the Emerald Whisper Territory. Most of the ten Silver-ranked guards were killed, and the three severely wounded chose to surrender.]

Lord Alice Morningstar has also been captured by the troll leader Cook.

The spirit realm is in complete chaos.

Luo Yi narrowly escaped disaster due to a shift change, and since his black hair and eyes meant he wasn't taken seriously by the trolls, he went outside to find the emerald tree teeming with trolls. They had managed to breach the Spirit Realm's barrier in such a short time; the Silver and Iron level experts had been targeted and were now few in number.

The trolls are too fast; there must be a traitor among them!

Seeing that Cuiyu's forces were doomed, Luo Yi did not act rashly. Instead, he changed out of his guard's leather armor, knocked out "Captain Anya" immediately, and hid.

When he couldn't cultivate because he lacked the divinely bestowed seed, he dug a burrow under the treehouse as a precaution.

This comes in handy right now.

【the next day.】

Wearing a straw hat, Luo Yi instructed Miss Delilah to go out alone and gather information.

[The troll Cook was seen carrying Alice Morningstar, her clothes disheveled. Cook had stripped her of her Silver Realm cultivation, and her eyes no longer held arrogance. Cook happily announced to the Spirit Realm farmers that "Spirit Realm: Emerald Whisper Territory" had changed hands from this day forward.]

The strong rule.

Cook was once personally expelled from the Spirit Realm by his father because of its resources. He later became a Mist Raider. In recent years, he has served the Rabbit Clan's Arhats in battle, learning from their strengths and compensating for his weaknesses. He has come to deeply understand the importance of a sustainable development path.

[Cook seized this opportunity to obtain two "spirit seeds" of intermediate spirit realm in one fell swoop. He began to dream of becoming a great troll ancestor a hundred years later!]

King of the Tribes!!

The black cat's fur suddenly bristled, its back arched into a taut arc, and a low growl escaped its throat. Luo Yi's alarm bells rang, and he followed the black cat's gaze—

He looked up at the shadow not far behind Cook—a three-meter-tall white giant rabbit stood like a mountain, its muscles bulging as if about to burst, and the nineteen different-colored bone beads hanging from its neck collided with each breath, producing a chilling, crisp sound.

Luo Yi caught a whiff of blood lingering on the prayer beads—it was the skull of a powerful being.

[These are at least the remains of a Gold Realm expert. Any one of the owners of these bone beads was once a powerful figure capable of suppressing a region. And now their bones have been molded into prayer beads…]

[To be able to kill so many Gold Realm experts, this giant rabbit must be a powerhouse on par with the Commander of Weapons and the Star and Moon Envoy—a Golden-Bodied Arhat!]

Regardless of whether there's a traitor within Emerald Whisper Territory, with the Rabbit Clan's Golden Arhat present, the destruction of the spiritual realm is inevitable...

Luo Yi was secretly alarmed and decided to leave Cuiyu Territory that very day.

Just then, the pair of scarlet rabbit eyes seemed to sense someone watching them and slowly glanced down.

What's most chilling is its gaze—the crimson pupils hold no rage, only a cold, almost Zen-like killing intent; crushing life is merely a form of spiritual practice for it.

Luo Yi merely glanced at them, his "killing god aura" completely concealed, and he instantly became unremarkable, like a transparent person, silently disappearing into the crowd.

The rabbit-like Arhat scanned the area, realizing the slight chill it had felt earlier might have been an illusion. Puzzled, it withdrew its gaze and suddenly interrupted the troll Cook's passionate speech, "Little Cook."

The troll Cook immediately abandoned Alice, prostrated himself, and placed his hands together in reverence on Annie's ankle. "Lord Annie! Your humble servant greets you."

"Are there any other powerful figures in Emerald Whisper Territory?" asked Arhat Ani of the Rabbit Clan, frowning.

"A powerful figure?" The troll Cook was taken aback, his gaze falling on a Starmoon Clan silver-ranked expert kneeling beside him.

"Alice, Mirror of the Guard... Captain Anya isn't here." The handsome elf glanced around at her fellow humans. "Oh, right, she also seems to have a human warrior follower missing; his name is Yi."

"A human warrior?!"

[The rabbit-clan Arhat Ani's snow-white fur suddenly bristled, his figure flashing like a ghost, instantly traversing a distance of ten zhang, grabbing the handsome elf's skull with one hand, his five sharp claws deeply embedded in the bone.]

"You're only telling me this now?! It's so important!"

"Ugh... Lord Annie... Forgive me... I'm so sorry..." The handsome elf's face contorted into a grotesque shape, his eyeballs almost popping out of their sockets. His long legs kicked wildly in the air.

[“He…he’s only at the Silver Realm…ah!!”] [“Silver? Useless!”]

[Ani's mouth stretched to his ears, revealing gleaming white fangs. With a muffled "plop," the elf's head exploded like a ripe watermelon.]

When the red and white splattered onto Alice's face, her emerald pupils instantly shrank to pinpoints, and she immediately collapsed to the ground, trembling.

"Little Cook!"

[The crimson eyes of the rabbit-tribe lord, Ani, gleamed with a blood-red light as he looked down at Cook, who was prostrating himself on the ground.]

"He hasn't gone far! Go! Grind that rat into mincemeat for me!!"

The troll Cook's entire body trembled violently, his forehead pressed firmly against the ground, cold sweat forming dark puddles on the soil. Upon hearing the order, he felt as if he had been granted a pardon; his bloated body suddenly displayed astonishing agility. With a somersault, he leaped to his feet and roared at the top of his lungs, "Troll bastards! Spread the word, block the Spirit Realm pass for me!"

[Ani's rabbit paw slowly traced the hideous scar on her face; with each inch her fingertips moved, her muscles twitched involuntarily.]

"Humans..." it squeezed out the word through gritted teeth.

At this moment, Luo Yi was preparing to lead Captain Anya and the other girls away. Their luggage was already packed, and they originally planned to stay in the cave for seven or eight days, preferably waiting for Captain Anya to recover from her injuries before setting off.

However, the appearance of that golden-bodied Arhat from the Rabbit Clan in Emerald Whisper Territory truly alarmed Luo Yi.

As a powerful figure who oversees a region and is second only to the top of the clan, the fact that such a person has come to the Star-Moon Clan's spiritual realm signifies—war!

Luo Yi took out his spare Black Scale Sword and began his ascent.

There were only three squads of trolls guarding the Emerald Tree, totaling thirty-six heads. Three of them, silver trolls, roared and charged forward. Luo Yi flicked his wrist, and his sword flashed like a venomous snake, each flash precisely piercing the throat.

[A short while later, thirty-six corpses collapsed to the ground with a thud.]

Captain Anya was shocked by Luo Yi's swordsmanship. She had never seen such ruthless swordsmanship before—each strike was like a dance calculated a thousand times, targeting even the weak points at the seams of the troll armor with perfect precision.

Luo Yi's understanding of "basic martial arts" is that, regardless of whether it's swords, spears, or halberds, he only uses the most basic and effortless techniques.

Martial arts need not be flashy, need not be meaningful; they only require killing the enemy before you, nothing more.

Just as the group was about to plunge into the mist, the thick fog suddenly churned. More than three hundred trolls surged out like a tide, including several Silver Realm leaders.

The troll leader's fangs trembled, its large, bell-like eyes staring at the corpses of its kin scattered on the ground. Then, it slowly raised its gaze—the human youth was flicking blood beads from the blade of its black-scaled sword.

Both sides were stunned for a moment.

"Why?" Luo Yi slowly raised his Black Scale Sword. He didn't know when he had been exposed, but he didn't regret taking Captain Anya away.

【"What?"】

The troll leader's throat had not yet uttered a sound.

[Sword light explodes!]

The last thing he saw was a fountain of blood gushing from his headless body, and his head, its expression still frozen in shock.

Why are you stopping me? Wouldn't it be better to just pretend you don't see me?

Luo Yi casually killed seven or eight trolls around him; he had no intention of participating in this "meaningless" slaughter.

They could have easily pretended not to see anything... Why did they have to go through all that trouble?

【Bang! 】

At that moment, the ground trembled slightly.

"Yi, it seems like we can't escape."

Captain Anya suddenly looked behind her—the massive body of the troll Cook was crushing ancient trees in its path as it charged towards them, leaving cracked footprints in the ground with every step.

【call out--!】

The arrows that Captain Anya fired through gritted teeth struck his skin, producing a metallic clang before breaking and falling to the ground.

[Troll Cook possesses a physical body comparable to that of a Gold Saint, rendering him immune to ordinary weapons.]

[All weapons and arrows in the entire Emerald Whisper Territory are unable to penetrate its defenses.]

【"mouse--!"】

Cook's roar created a shockwave, and his massive, demonic claws grabbed a boulder, hurling it fiercely towards their location. With a piercing shriek as the boulder tore through the air, Captain Anya closed her eyes in despair—

Luo Yi turned and stepped forward, his sword tracing a perfect crescent arc. The boulder shattered into dust the moment it touched the sword's edge, the dust falling like snowflakes.

Luo Yi stood expressionless, sword in hand.

"Soldier...罡...?"

Cook abruptly stopped his sprint, a look of surprise and doubt appearing in his eyes.

"You are... a Commander of the Army?!" Cook's Adam's apple bobbed with difficulty, and his body, comparable to a Golden Realm expert, began to tremble slightly, each step he took carving deep furrows in the ground.

[Human warriors, once recognized by a spirit weapon, can transform their "source blood" into an indestructible weapon aura through the weapon! Those at this level of power cannot be judged by ordinary standards.]

"What?! He's the Commander of the Army?!" The surrounding trolls were shocked and retreated.

Captain Anya opened her eyes, her emerald pupils reflecting a familiar yet unfamiliar figure. "Yi, when did you become a military commander?!"

"Not long ago."

Luo Yi spoke softly, his eyelids slightly lifted, his pupils reflecting the distant, snow-white demonic figure that was crushing towards him.

[—The White Tiger roars at the moon, suppressing evil and punishing heaven! !!!]

He silently chanted an incantation, and the cat-like senior instantly transformed into a domineering longsword—the Heavenly Punishment Blade!

Luo Yi crossed his arms, sword in his left hand and knife in his right, his killing intent slicing through the air within a three-zhang radius around him, creating fine ripples.

"Since..." Luo Yi's left foot crushed the ground, his military aura and baleful energy intertwining into a spiraling storm, "he won't let you leave..."

He stomped his right foot, causing the ground within a ten-foot radius to sink three inches. "Then... I'm not going any further!!!"

【Awooo—!!!】

The phantom of the white tiger roared to the sky, its materialized sound waves tearing the clouds to shreds.

"The aura of swords and blades?! So it's... the prodigy of the human race!!" The rabbit-clan Arhat Ani grinned maliciously, forming a swastika mudra with his hands. "Today—you will surely die!!"

"A Bodhisattva with a murderous intent!!!"

[Ani clasped her hands together, and her pure white fur suddenly burst forth with dazzling Buddhist light.]

The golden light emanating from the body was not ordinary gold, but rather a solidified, dark golden glass, its surface covered with densely packed Sanskrit mantras, each mantra writhing as if alive.

[The crimson image of a Bodhisattva that appeared on its chest—compassionate in appearance but with a sinister grin at the corner of its mouth, its four arms holding a human skin drum, a bone flute, a skinning knife, and a skull bowl.]

However—it shattered like glass the instant it came into contact with the White Tiger's malevolent energy!

"Impossible—! How could you possess a peerless spiritual weapon?!"

Amidst Luo Han's furious roar, Luo Yi merged with his sword, transforming into a white rainbow piercing the sun.

The trajectory of that slash seemed to cleave through space and time—one moment the blade was three zhang away, the next it had pierced Annie's brow!

[Snap!]

[The nineteen bone beads exploded simultaneously, and a dazzling silver line appeared on Annie's immortal golden body, running from her head to her crotch. She froze on the spot, her crimson rabbit eyes filled with disbelief.]

A gentle breeze swept by, and the golden statue of the Arhat collapsed with a deafening roar.

Luo Yi knelt on one knee, his swords and blades crisscrossing as they plunged into the scorched earth, the phantom of a white tiger above his head slowly dissipating.

[The Rabbit-Slaying Arhat—White Rainbow Sword Saint Yi!]
