Douluo: Law of Heaven and Earth

Chapter 1061 Crossing the River
"cough!"

Looking out over the Frosty River, a gust of wind blew through the snowy night, and he trembled, coughing up a mouthful of foul-smelling black blood.

"His Majesty!"

The attendant beside him hurriedly stepped forward to help him up, saying, "Let's go back to the camp and rest. It's windy by the river. Once the soldiers have built the pontoon bridge, we can cross!"

"No problem."

Watching the female students from Tianshui Academy working on the frozen river while soldiers laid out supplies behind them, Xueye said, "My body is perfectly fine now!"

Regarding my poisoning—

As a Soul Master, how could he not notice?

He never doubted Xue Qinghe or Xue Beng.

Regardless, those two are his sons. If they can target their brothers for the throne, how could they possibly target their father, the emperor?
That makes no sense.

On the contrary, he was more suspicious of his own younger brother, Xue Xing.

Back then, in order to obtain the throne, he also secretly targeted his other brothers. Only his younger brother Xuexing, who was a "spoiled brat," survived and became a prince.

The avalanche camouflage technique must have been taught to him by his younger brother!
but.

It's pointless to think about these things now.

After consuming the thousand-year-old blood ginseng given to him by Ning Tian, ​​Xue Ye felt his body regain vitality and his spirits were high. Now, after being exposed to the wind and coughing up a mouthful of black, bad blood, he felt even more comfortable and had a feeling of floating on air.

"Boost!"

Taking the gold-threaded handkerchief handed to him by the servant, Xueye wiped the black blood from the corner of her mouth and gave the order.

"Yes!"

After the order was given, Shui Bing'er, who was making ice on the river, complained, "Do they really think people never get tired?"

Creating ice on such a wide river is no easy task; the ice must be at least 20 meters thick to withstand the erosion of the river water.

"Why not have a flying Soul Master fly over with chains on?"

Shui Yue'er said, "I heard that none of the messengers who went to deliver the message returned. To prevent the Red Society from planting people along the river to launch a sneak attack, we must be extra careful. Flying Soul Masters are scouts and important intelligence gatherers; we cannot afford to lose them!"

“We can fly too,” Shui Bing’er retorted.

"That would cause a huge commotion."

Shuiyue was speechless at her older sister's words, "Have you forgotten what our martial souls are?"

Shui Bing'er was speechless.

However, both of them were somewhat confused about the future.

The Star Luo Empire invades the Ancient Lei Empire...
The Red Society is restless again...
Whether the Spirit Hall will launch another war, causing the situation on the continent to change again, is also unpredictable.

They were not actually willing to go to war together, but after the great battle, Emperor Xueye granted them titles and a manor, giving them wealth, status, and honor, so they naturally had to contribute to the Heavenly Battle.

The same applies to the other advanced academy students in this competition, such as Yu Tianheng, Dugu Yan, Huo Wu, Huo Wushuang, Feng Xiaotian, Yu Tianxin, and so on.

How can one enjoy power without doing any work?
Are all the nobles of the Heavenly Dou Empire just nice guys, supporting these Soul Masters for nothing?
"Now I understand why Zhou Qing and the others didn't accept Emperor Xueye's reward back then—freedom!" Shui Bing'er sighed. "Stop wailing, my sister. If others hear this and it reaches Emperor Xueye's ears, life at Tianshui Academy will be tough from now on."

As soon as Shuiyue finished speaking, she used her soul skill to freeze the flowing river in front of her for nearly twenty meters. "Alright, it's your turn. Extend the ice block at the bottom of the water by more than twenty meters so that the soldiers behind us can lay out a pontoon bridge."

"Ugh, so annoying! Why does the ice formed by the soul skill dissipate so quickly?" No matter how helpless Shui Bing'er was, she had to take over Shui Yue'er's job and work with the others to deepen the ice beneath the surface.

"The ice we condense with our soul power cannot be compared with natural ice and snow. Although it can also create a certain range of low temperature, it is spring now, and the Frost River is about a kilometer wide. It looks calm, but its flow is very fast. Even agility-type soul masters below the Soul King level may not be able to keep up with its speed."

Unlike her sister Shui Bing'er, whose martial soul is an ice phoenix, Shui Yue'er's martial soul is a dolphin, giving her a strong sense of the undercurrents beneath the water.

Therefore, she was able to give one or two reasons.

The two have different martial spirits; one inherited it from his father and the other from his mother. They both inherited it from their mother, but they are half-siblings.

"If that's the case, how did the Crimson Society members get through so quickly?" Shui Bing'er asked. "Their equipment is even worse than the Heavenly Dou Army's, isn't it?"

"Maybe Zhou Qing used his flying skill to take everyone across the river." Shui Yue'er recalled the rumor that Zhou Qing led the continent's number one master craftsman and others from Gengxin City to Shenghun Village.

"How could it be true? It must have been exaggerated over time." Shui Bing'er didn't believe it. As she spoke, she used her Ice Sealing Soul Skill to continuously reinforce the ice layer beneath her feet.

"Then it can only be that one of them is also a powerful Soul Master with the ice attribute." As Shui Yue'er spoke, her body suddenly arched backward, as if her abdomen had been hit by an invisible attack, and she kept retreating, knocking over many of her fellow students who were reinforcing the ice layer for the second time.

Whoosh!
Before Shui Bing'er could even take flight using her martial spirit, she felt as if she had been struck between the eyebrows by an energy formed from condensed soul power. Her brain jolted, and she fell backward.

"Enemy attack!"

"Where?"

"The other side!"

At this moment, their pontoon bridge had been laid to a length of nearly four hundred meters, and some Soul Masters with good eyesight could already see the figures on the other side.

The Red Turban soldiers, wielding the Soul-Guided Zhuge Crossbow, continuously pulled the triggers, releasing wind-attribute soul-powered crossbow bolts.

Compared to other elements, the wind-attribute elemental core magic array designed for Tang San increases the speed of arrows fired the fastest, and the range can reach more than 800 meters.

However, there are pros and cons.

In order to achieve such a long firing speed, this type of soul-powered crossbow bolt must sacrifice some of its attack damage. As a result, even if Shui Yue'er and Shui Bing'er were hit from nowhere, they were only knocked away, with bruises and red marks on their abdomens and foreheads.

Although its attack power is weaker, it is still not something an ordinary person can withstand.

These two are Soul Masters, and they are using Soul Skills. With their Soul Power circulating within their bodies, even if they are completely unprepared, they can minimize the damage from this type of crossbow bolt.

However, among the Heavenly Dou Army that was setting up the pontoon bridge behind them, apart from the Royal Knights, not all of them were Soul Masters. In addition, Emperor Xueye had ordered them to march lightly without armor, so the damage from the Wind Crossbow bolts was much greater, and they could still penetrate their bodies, causing them to die on the spot.

"Back off!"

The troops behind dared not advance any further and could only retreat continuously. However, without the soul masters from Tianshui Academy to forge ice at the front, the surging river could not hold on, causing the ice layer below to begin to crack.

Click!

Furthermore, the panicked footsteps of the people behind them caused the ice to crack even further, until—

Wow!

The ice rink completely shattered, and nearly half of the pontoon bridge was submerged and washed away by the Frostfire River's current, causing hundreds of people to fall into the water and struggle frantically...
