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

Ten days passed in the blink of an eye.

Over the course of ten days, the army of the Heavenly Dou Empire, under the command of Xiao Zhan and Lin Ye, swept forward relentlessly.

With Dai Tianfeng gone, the Star Luo Empire was unable to mount any effective resistance and was forced into a series of defeats by the Heavenly Dou Army.

The Heavenly Dou army captured more than a dozen cities in succession, directly pushing the battle line to the vital stronghold of the Star Luo Empire: White Tiger Pass.

Once they capture White Tiger Pass, the army of the Heavenly Dou Empire can advance unimpeded and directly invade the heartland of the Star Luo Empire, where no natural barrier will be able to stop them.

At this moment, on the plains outside Baihu Pass, the sound of war drums resounded through the sky.

The Heavenly Dou Empire's 100,000-strong army has already formed its battle formation and is launching a fierce siege of White Tiger Pass.

The battlefield was filled with shouts of battle, the clash of weapons, and the screams of soldiers falling.

The Star Luo Empire knew the importance of White Tiger Pass and had amassed a large force there.

They relied on the tall and sturdy city walls to fight desperately.

At the forefront of the battlefield, Lin Ye and Zhu Zhuqing were constantly fighting enemies among the crowd.

Lin Ye activated his martial spirit, his right hand forming a claw. With a casual wave, he unleashed his first soul skill, the Thirteen Slashes of the Evil God.

Several dark purple wind blades flew past close to the ground, directly slicing the dozen or so Star Luo soldiers blocking their way in half.

Blood splattered all over the ground, and the surrounding Star Luo soldiers were so frightened that they retreated one after another, not daring to approach him at all.

On the other side, Zhu Zhuqing moved with astonishing speed, shuttling back and forth within the Star Luo Empire's military formation.

Her soul power has now reached the peak of level 59, making it easy for her to deal with these ordinary taxi drivers and low-level soul masters.

On the city wall of Baihu Pass stood a burly middle-aged man.

His name is Zhao Lei, the commander of the Star Luo Empire stationed at White Tiger Pass, and a Soul Douluo of level 82.

Zhao Lei gripped the edge of the city wall tightly with both hands, the veins on the back of his hands bulging.

He stared at the fallen Xingluo soldiers on the battlefield below, his teeth grinding together.

"General, we can't hold on! The Heavenly Dou Empire's offensive is too fierce!"

An adjutant ran over and shouted loudly.

Zhao Lei knew very well that the Star Luo Empire was now doomed.

Dai Tianfeng is dead, and reinforcements have not arrived.

What terrified him most was the young man in black on the battlefield.

That young man was Lin Ye, the Holy Son of the Spirit Hall.

Zhao Lei had already received intelligence that Dai Tianfeng had died at the hands of Lin Ye.

A monster capable of killing an 88th-level Soul Douluo is simply beyond his capabilities.

"We can't keep fighting them outside the city; if we continue like this, all our men will be wiped out!"

Zhao Lei quickly calculated in his mind.

He turned his head and shouted at his adjutant:

"Pass on my orders! Retreat immediately! Everyone back into the city! Rely on the city walls for defense!"

The adjutant immediately ran off to relay the order.

Soon, the sound of urgent retreat bells rang out from the rear of the Star Luo Empire's army formation.

Upon hearing the signal to retreat, the Star Luo soldiers, who had already been terrified, felt as if they had been granted a pardon.

They scrambled and stumbled towards the city gate of Baihu Pass, their formation completely broken.

"Trying to run?" Lin Ye sneered as he looked at the retreating Star Luo army.

He didn't rush to chase after them, but stood still and watched the Star Luo soldiers squeeze into the city gate.

Grand Marshal Xiao Zhan of the Heaven Dou Empire rode his horse and stopped in front of the central command tent at the rear.

He held binoculars, watching the battle unfold ahead, his brow furrowed.

"Grand Marshal, the Star Luo troops have retreated inside. Should we advance directly?"

Li Ze, who was standing next to him, asked loudly.

Xiao Zhan shook his head, put down the binoculars, and said:

"The walls of Baihu Pass are too high, and the gates are made of fine steel. They are currently holed up inside. If we launch a direct assault, our casualties will be enormous."

Xiao Zhan's concerns were valid; after the Star Luo Empire withdrew back into the city, it immediately took countermeasures.

"Quickly! Close the city gates!" Zhao Lei shouted from the city wall.

The heavy steel city gate, pushed by several strongmen, made a screeching sound as it slowly closed, finally locking itself shut with a loud thud.

Moreover, a long line of Soul Masters dressed in long robes stood on the city wall.

These are all defensive-type Soul Masters from the Star Luo Empire.

"Activate the shield!" Zhao Lei ordered again.

More than a dozen defensive Soul Masters simultaneously released their Martial Souls, injecting their Soul Power into the defensive formation of the city wall.

A thick layer of yellow light spread out from the city wall, covering the entire front of Baihu Pass.

"Archers, prepare! Fire!"

At Zhao Lei's command, thousands of archers on the city wall simultaneously released their bowstrings.

A dense rain of arrows fell from the sky, heading directly at the charging soldiers of the Heavenly Dou Empire.

The taxi soldiers of the Heavenly Dou Empire, who were at the forefront, were unable to dodge in time and were shot down in large numbers, with screams echoing everywhere.

"Raise your shields! Raise your shields!" the officers of the Heavenly Dou Empire shouted.

The soldiers quickly raised their shields to protect their heads.

However, the arrow rain was too dense, and the siege engines and ladders could not be pushed up at all. The offensive of the Heavenly Dou Empire was suppressed instantly.

Xiao Zhan, watching from behind, slapped his thigh in disbelief.

"This shield is too thick. Our catapults can't even hit it, and we can't open the city gate. What should we do?" Xiao Zhan was sweating profusely with anxiety.

At the front of the battlefield, Lin Ye looked at the tightly closed steel city gate and the yellow shield, his eyes turning cold.

He knew that if he retreated at this time, the Tiandou army would suffer a severe blow.

We must take Baihu Pass today.

Lin Ye turned his head and said to Zhu Zhuqing beside him:

"We must break down the city gates! Once the gates are breached, their defenses will completely collapse."

Upon hearing Lin Ye's words, Zhu Zhuqing stopped what she was doing.

She looked up at the massive city gate, then at Lin Ye.

A flicker of excitement flashed in her eyes.

In the past ten days, she had just absorbed that high-quality right leg soul bone and obtained the abnormal skill "Netherworld Five Illusions Body". She was just worried about not having a place to test its power.

Zhu Zhuqing took a step forward, looked at Lin Ye, and said loudly:

"Lin Ye, leave the city gates to me!"

Lin Ye was taken aback.

He originally planned to use his fifth soul skill to smash the city gate himself, but Zhu Zhuqing volunteered instead.

Seeing the confidence radiating from Zhu Zhuqing's stunningly beautiful face, Lin Ye smiled.

He knew what the big cat wanted to do.

"Alright, then I'll leave it to you." Lin Ye took a step back, giving his seat to Zhu Zhuqing.

"Let me see the results of your training these past few days."

Zhu Zhuqing nodded, turned around, and strode towards the city gate of Baihu Pass.

She walked alone at the front, surrounded by Tiandou soldiers who were all holding up their shields in defense, making her stand out.

Zhao Lei, who was on the city wall, also noticed Zhu Zhuqing.

He looked at the woman in the black bodysuit and sneered.

"Is the Heavenly Dou Empire out of people? Sending a woman out to die?" Zhao Lei shouted sarcastically.

"Shoot that woman! Turn her into a pincushion!"

Dozens of archers immediately turned around and aimed their arrows at Zhu Zhuqing.
