Douluo Continent: Protector Qian Renxue, Martial Soul: Dark Demon Dragon

Chapter 16 Our Highness is a wise ruler who appears only once in a century!

"Hehe!" The black-shield spirit guard, gripping his shield tightly, smiled at Lin Xiao: "Over the years, the number of assassins who have attempted to kill His Highness has been countless!"

"Those who can penetrate the numerous patrol lines composed of Soul Masters without being detected are extremely rare. Your successful arrival here is sufficient proof of your formidable strength, and you have every reason to be genuinely proud!"

The blood-red greatsword-wielding spirit guardian said impatiently, "Why bother with Solo? In all our years guarding the Crown Prince's residence, quite a few people have managed to get here through patrols composed of spirit masters!"

"However, the strength of most of the Soul Masters who can come here is truly worrying. Take this one for example, he doesn't look very old, and at most he's only at the Soul Emperor level, not even a Soul Saint!"

"Perhaps it's because of the special nature of his martial soul that he was able to successfully break through the numerous soul master patrols and arrive here undetected!"

"You know, even the powerful Soul Douluo who came to assassinate His Highness back then, died at our hands when we joined forces. As for this kid, we'll just be stretching our muscles and having a little snack!"

The blood-red greatsword-wielding spirit guardian, though wary, was full of contempt, and his tone was even more disdainful as he stared straight at Lin Xiao. It's no wonder he didn't take it seriously; mainly, Lin Xiao's appearance was too young.

He was at most a young man in his early twenties. No matter how talented he was, he simply couldn't believe that someone could reach the Soul Saint realm at that age. Therefore, he was certain that the young man's strength was at most that of a Soul Emperor, not a Soul Saint!

It would be virtually impossible for a Soul Emperor to successfully break through those multiple patrol lines. Those Soul Masters responsible for patrolling were not just sitting around doing nothing; they were paid by the emperor, and if they dared to neglect their duties, they would be sentenced to death!

The only possibility is that the opponent's martial soul is a very special one, belonging to the kind of martial soul that has a strong ability to hide, only in this way can it break through the multiple patrol lines!

"Hmm?" Lin Xiao observed the expressions and subtle facial movements of the two people and found that when they looked at him, they seemed to only show contempt and disdain.

Although the two guards looked at him warily, a closer look revealed their contempt and disdain. It was as if they had never truly taken his presence seriously, never considered him a danger, and treated him as someone they could easily deal with!

"Am I being looked down upon?!" Lin Xiao shook his head helplessly, his face bitter.

"That little guy over there, the number of souls who have died at our hands is countless, and you will be no exception today!" The guard holding the blood-red broadsword said with a slight smirk.

"Young man, you are so young, with a long and beautiful future ahead of you to enjoy. Why did you choose to assassinate our prince?"

"Your Highness, who came to assassinate us, I think you know very well that this is a death sentence, right? It's really hard to understand, I really don't understand what you were thinking." The Black Shield Martial Soul Guardian couldn't help but start lecturing.

Seeing that the other party was of a decent age, and since he was able to come here, his talent and martial soul must be quite good, he couldn't help but start lecturing Lin Xiao. However, he would never let Lin Xiao leave this place!

Their duty was to kill all those who came to assassinate their prince outside the palace gates! Their prince was a wise ruler, a rare talent in the Heavenly Dou Empire, and anyone who dared to assassinate him deserved to die!

"Why waste time arguing with him?! Our Highness is a wise and virtuous ruler, one in a century for the Heavenly Dou Empire. Under his leadership, the Heavenly Dou Empire will surely flourish and prosper in the future!"

"And this brat actually dared to assassinate our prince! Such a person deserves to die without a burial place!" The red-sword-wielding martial spirit guard coldly snorted!

"So, your prince is quite powerful?!" Lin Xiao slowly walked to a position fifty meters away from the two guards, and asked with a smile and great interest.

"Of course, without a doubt, our Prince possesses extremely kind and benevolent character, and he always treats his subjects with tolerance and care!"

"Your Highness has the world in your heart, your vision extends to the vast land, and you always prioritize the well-being of the people. You spare no effort to strive for a better and higher quality of life for the citizens of the Heavenly Dou Empire!"

"Yet, even such a flawless prince is always the target of assassination attempts by you traitors. Today you've come to assassinate our prince; tell me, do you deserve to die?"

The guard wielding the blood-red broadsword martial spirit became increasingly agitated, completely forgetting that just moments before he had declared he would immediately deal with Lin Xiao.

"So even these two guards in the Heavenly Dou Empire have such a high opinion of Xiaoxue. It seems I underestimated her abilities!" Lin Xiao thought to himself.

During her childhood, Qian Renxue had his company. Qian Renxue's personality was excellent. She was always humble and polite to others. Moreover, she was intelligent, quick-witted, and far more clever than ordinary people!

Even at a young age, when he was placed in the unfamiliar Heavenly Dou Empire to carry out a dangerous plan to seize the country, based on the information he currently has, Qian Renxue did a very good job, which is extremely impressive!

The Qian Renxue of today is completely different from the Qian Renxue in the original work. In the original work, Qian Renxue suffered the heavy blow of her father's sudden death, and at the same time, her mother regarded her as a stain and even refused to acknowledge that Qian Renxue was her child.

Under the double blow of hardship, her personality has obvious flaws. However, even though her father passed away suddenly and her mother still regards her as a stain on her life, Qian Renxue is now a person with a bad reputation.

However, with her older brother's presence and Qian Daoliu's companionship, at least during that specific period, Qian Renxue quickly emerged from the shadows. It can be said that Qian Renxue now has almost no weaknesses!

"I'm getting more and more excited. What will it be like when Xiaoxue sees me?" Lin Xiao's lips curled up slightly, and a smile appeared on his face.
