Douluo Continent: The Evil Tiger Subdues the Eight Desolations, and Marries Zhu Zhuqing

This soul bone is of little use to him.

However, this soul bone was a perfect match for Zhu Zhuqing.

Lin Ye jumped out of the deep pit with the soul bone in his hand and walked up to Zhu Zhuqing.

"Here you go." Lin Ye handed over the gleaming golden right leg bone.

Zhu Zhuqing was stunned for a moment, looking at the soul bone in Lin Ye's hand, and waved her hands repeatedly:

"This...this is too valuable, I can't accept it."

Zhu Zhuqing knew all too well the value of the soul bone.

That's a priceless treasure. Countless soul masters would fight tooth and nail for a soul bone that's only a few thousand years old, let alone a soul bone that looks like it's only tens of thousands of years old.

Lin Ye raised an eyebrow, grabbed Zhu Zhuqing's hand, and forcibly stuffed the soul bone into her hand.

"Just take it if I give it to you, why are you asking so many questions?"

Lin Ye's tone was domineering and left no room for refusal.

"Big kitty, this soul bone is perfect for you. You're an agility-based attacker, and with it, your survivability and offensive power will both improve significantly."

"But..." Zhu Zhuqing wanted to say something more.

"There's no 'but' about it," Lin Ye interrupted her.

"My woman deserves the best of everything. Put it away now; don't flaunt your wealth, understand?"

Upon hearing the words "my woman," Zhu Zhuqing's heart trembled.

She bit her lip, no longer refusing, and carefully put the right leg bone into her storage soul tool.

"Thank you, you big bad guy," Zhu Zhuqing said softly, her head bowed.

Lin Ye smiled and reached out to ruffle her hair.

Just then, a series of chaotic footsteps came from afar.

Lin Ye looked up and saw Li Ze leading over a hundred men from the Sharp Knife Battalion and the Phantom Squad, stumbling and running towards them.

The state of these people right now is simply unbearable to look at.

Their faces were deathly pale, and their legs were trembling.

Several of the faster runners knelt down with a thud in front of Lin Ye, panting heavily.

They had a clear view of the battle here.

The six cross-shaped sword beams that destroyed the heavens and the earth, the enormous and terrifying black-purple tiger, and finally the hundred-meter-long black hole that swallowed everything.

These scenes terrified these soldiers who had spent years living on the edge of a knife.

Li Ze swallowed hard, and with his legs still weak, he walked up to Lin Ye.

"Lin... Commandant Lin..." Li Ze stammered, his voice trembling.

Lin Ye frowned as she looked at his pathetic appearance:

"Speak clearly, how's the battle going?"

Li Ze took a few deep breaths before he could barely finish his sentence.

"Reporting to the Captain, those bastards from Xingluo have all run away! When they saw Dai Tianfeng being... being wiped out by you, they were terrified. They abandoned their weapons and supplies and ran all over the mountains and fields. We chased after them for a while and killed about ten thousand, but we couldn't catch the rest."

While giving his report, Li Ze secretly glanced at Lin Ye.

In his mind, the young man in front of him could no longer be described as a "human being".

That's a god! A god of slaughter!

An 88th-level Soul Douluo, leading 50,000 elite troops, had his morale completely shattered by him alone.

If this gets out, the entire Heaven Dou Empire will be shaken.

Lin Ye nodded after listening to the report.

"Let them go. They're just a bunch of rabble. Killing them would only make them dirtier."

Lin Ye said calmly.

"To catch the thief, first catch the king. With Dai Tianfeng dead, the Star Luo Empire's 50,000 reinforcements are completely disoriented and their morale is in chaos. They definitely won't dare to cause trouble again anytime soon."

The taxi drivers of the elite battalion listened to Lin Ye's words, their eyes gleaming with fervor.

People in the crowd started whispering among themselves.

"Holy crap, Captain Lin is amazing! That's Dai Tianfeng!"

"When I saw that black hole, I almost thought the sky was going to collapse!"

"With Captain Lin here, what are we, the Heavenly Dou Empire, afraid of, the Star Luo? We'll just crush them!"

These ordinary soldiers weren't very educated, and their way of expressing admiration consisted entirely of the most straightforward profanities and internet memes.

Lin Ye listened to these discussions without any emotional fluctuation.

This was exactly the effect he wanted: to establish his authority in the army and make these arrogant and fierce soldiers completely submit.

Only by gaining the morale of this army could his subsequent plans be successfully implemented.

"Alright, enough with the nonsense." Lin Ye waved his hand, interrupting the soldiers' discussion.

"Immediately clean up the battlefield, take everything useful, and burn the rest. Regroup and return to camp in half an hour!"

"yes!"

More than a hundred people roared in unison, their voices deafening.

Lin Ye's words now carry more weight with them than an imperial edict.

The group immediately dispersed and began searching for spoils in the ruins.

Lin Ye turned to look at Zhu Zhuqing and said with a smile:

"Let's go, big kitty. We're done here, time to head back and report."

Zhu Zhuqing nodded and followed Lin Ye toward the edge of the canyon.

Half an hour later, the battlefield was cleaned up.

The Sharp Knife Battalion and the Phantom Squad brought over some of the Star Luo warhorses that hadn't escaped in the chaos.

Lin Ye and Zhu Zhuqing mounted their horses and led the group of over a hundred people, heading towards the Tian Dou Army camp in a grand procession.

The night was already deep, and the only sound on the official road was the dull thud of horses' hooves on the dirt road.

Li Ze rode his horse, closely following behind Lin Ye.

He stood up straighter than anyone else, his face beaming with undisguised excitement.

"Captain Lin, we've done a tremendous service this time!" Li Ze couldn't help but exclaim.

"With Dai Tianfeng dead, the Star Luo Empire's front line is completely vulnerable. I reckon the Grand Marshal will be so happy he'll jump for joy when he hears this news."

Lin Ye sat on his horse, casually toying with his riding whip.

"I'm definitely happy," Lin Ye said calmly.

"With Dai Shan and Dai Tianfeng dying in battle one after another, the Star Luo Empire has suffered a major blow. Their elite troops are probably still wandering around in the mountains."

Lin Ye was calculating the situation in his mind.

His goal is to complete the first test of the evil god: to take over the Star Luo Empire within three years.

It now appears that this schedule can be significantly accelerated.

"Li Ze, what do you think we should do next?"

Lin Ye asked casually.

Li Ze was taken aback; he hadn't expected Lin Ye to ask him about tactics.

He scratched his head, thought for a long time, and finally managed to utter a sentence:

"I think... we should strike while the iron is hot! Let the Grand Marshal muster the troops, march straight over, and wipe out the Star Luo camp!"

Lin Ye smiled and did not refute.

"You're right, strike while the iron is hot." Lin Ye looked into the darkness ahead, his eyes sharpening.

"What the Star Luo Empire lacks most right now is time. They need time to re-select a commander, time to gather the defeated troops, and time to mobilize supplies."

"What we need to do is not give them any chance to breathe."

Lin Ye turned his head and glanced at Zhu Zhuqing beside him.

Zhu Zhuqing rode on her horse, her posture upright.

She felt Lin Ye's gaze, turned her head, and their eyes met.

Looking at Lin Ye's confident demeanor, Zhu Zhuqing felt a sense of security.

"Lin Ye, what do you plan to do?" Zhu Zhuqing asked softly.
