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

"Want to know?" Lin Ye stood up, dusting off his hands.

"Go down and ask the King of Hell; perhaps he can tell you."

"Enough with the nonsense, I'm sending you on your way!"

A murderous intent flashed in Lin Ye's eyes, and he decided not to waste any more time with Xiao Zhan.

The shadow of death instantly loomed over Xiao Zhan, and his survival instinct unleashed his final potential.

"No! You can't kill me! I am the Grand Marshal of the Heavenly Dou Empire!"

Xiao Zhan screamed in terror, his voice filled with dread.

"Guards! Protect the Emperor! Quickly, someone come!"

However, strangely, there was complete silence outside the tent; apart from the sound of the wind, there was no response.

There wasn't a single guard in sight, not even a ghost.

"Hmph, stop yelling." Lin Ye looked at Xiao Zhan, who was struggling in his death throes, a mocking smile on his face.

"Even if you scream your lungs out, no one will come to save you."

"What do you think I've been doing these past few months? Playing house with you guys?"

"Most of your so-called trusted generals now only obey my orders, Lin Ye. Do you think they'd risk offending me for an old man like you who's about to be phased out?"

"What?!"

Xiao Zhan felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave, his whole body was ice cold, and he couldn't believe what he was hearing.

Those generals who swore allegiance to him and pledged their loyalty had actually... had betrayed him long ago!

"No...it's impossible...you...you actually bribed so many people!"

Xiao Zhan's face was ashen; his last hope had been shattered.

At that moment, he finally understood that from the very beginning, he had been a clown.

His self-righteous scheme was nothing but a childish joke in front of the other party.

"Since that's the case..."

In despair, a glint of madness and ruthlessness flashed in Xiao Zhan's eyes.

"Then let's die together!"

He suddenly bit his tongue, forcibly urging the little soul power he had left, preparing to unleash his seventh soul skill, Martial Soul True Body, and fight Lin Ye to the death.

Even if he dies, he'll take someone down with him!

"Want to fight me to the death?"

Looking at Xiao Zhan's blustering yet cowardly demeanor, Lin Ye's mockery deepened.

"You dare to challenge me?"

The moment Xiao Zhan's soul power fluctuated, Lin Ye didn't even bother to activate his martial soul.

With just a thought, he directly activated the head soul bone skill!

"Mental shock!"

A terrifying mental force, condensed to its extreme, pierced Xiao Zhan's mind!

"Well……"

Xiao Zhan's movement, which was about to unleash his Martial Soul True Form, suddenly froze.

Before I could even react to what was happening, I felt a sharp, intense pain in my brain!

"what……"

An indescribable pain erupted from the depths of his soul.

Blood instantly gushed from his seven orifices, his eyes bulged out, and his eyeballs were covered with blood vessels.

Xiao Zhan tried to shout but couldn't make a sound, only uttering a series of incomprehensible "hoho" sounds.

At that moment, his consciousness was completely torn apart by this violent mental force.

Just one second.

Xiao Zhan's body trembled violently, and then he collapsed softly to the ground like a lump of mud.

The expression on his face was forever frozen in that extreme pain and fear.

Xiao Zhan, the Grand Marshal of the Heaven Dou Empire and a level 83 Power Attack Soul Douluo, has fallen!

Lin Ye didn't even glance at the corpse on the ground. He withdrew his oppressive aura, and the oppressive atmosphere in the tent instantly dissipated.

"Hmph, this is what happens when you mess with me," Lin Ye said calmly.

At this moment, Zhu Zhuqing, who had been silent all along, walked over. She looked at the corpse on the ground, her delicate eyebrows slightly furrowed.

"Lin Ye, if you kill him now, what will happen to our plan to attack Xingluo City tomorrow? Without a leader, the army will fall into chaos."

Lin Ye pulled Zhu Zhuqing's hand, made her sit on his lap, pinched her cheek, and said with a smile:

"Chaos? Good, chaos is good. If it's not chaotic, how can I legitimately take over military power?"

He leaned close to Zhu Zhuqing's ear and whispered:

"Big cat, you're fast. You'll have to do a good job later and quietly send this old man's body back to his own command tent without letting anyone find out."

"What do you think will happen when the soldiers find him dead in his tent tomorrow morning?"

Zhu Zhuqing was incredibly intelligent and immediately understood Lin Ye's plan.

"The morale of the army was in chaos, and the soldiers were filled with fear and panic."

"That's right!" Lin Ye snapped his fingers.

"Then, the two of us will pretend we know nothing. I'll have the generals I've bribed take advantage of the chaos to incite a mutiny, and throw this dirty water on the Star Luo Empire, saying that their powerful generals made a last-ditch effort and assassinated our marshal."

"Since we'll be leaderless and a major battle is imminent, for the sake of the overall situation, who do you think the generals and soldiers will elect to temporarily assume the position of commander-in-chief?"

Lin Ye looked at Zhu Zhuqing with a knowing smile on his face.

Zhu Zhuqing felt a flutter in her heart as she looked at Lin Ye's confident smile, which seemed to indicate that he had everything under control.

This man is not only incredibly powerful, but his intellect and methods are also far beyond those of ordinary people.

Decisive in killing and ruthless, far-sighted in planning.

This guy is a complete scoundrel... but I like him.

"I understand." Zhu Zhuqing nodded, stood up from Lin Ye's lap, and glanced at Xiao Zhan, who was already cold on the ground.

"I'll get on it right now."

She had no objections to Lin Ye's plan and would carry it out unconditionally.

"Be careful, don't let anyone find out," Lin Ye warned.

"Don't worry," Zhu Zhuqing replied calmly.

She walked to Xiao Zhan's body and, without the slightest disgust, lifted it up with one hand.

Then, she channeled her soul power, transforming herself into a faint black shadow, silently lifting the tent flap and disappearing into the night.

With her current strength, coupled with the characteristics of an agility-type Soul Master, moving a dead person silently in the military camp is a piece of cake.

……

The next morning.

When sunlight streamed through the gaps in the tent and fell on Zhu Zhuqing's beautiful sleeping face, her long eyelashes fluttered slightly.

She felt a slight itch on her lips, along with a warm, moist sensation.

Zhu Zhuqing opened her eyes groggily, and what came into view was Lin Ye's magnified handsome face.

This guy was kissing her lips with his eyes closed and a look of ecstasy on his face.

"Well……"

Zhu Zhuqing instantly snapped back to reality, her cheeks flushing red.

She reached out and pushed hard against Lin Ye's chest, making muffled protest sounds.

Lin Ye was pushed away by her, but he didn't realize it at all. Instead, he chuckled and came closer, rubbing against her cheeks and neck.

"Lin Ye! You bastard! Can't you ever just shut up for a second?!"

Zhu Zhuqing was both embarrassed and angry. Was this guy's energy a little too abundant?

"I won't, I won't!" Lin Ye said shamelessly, with a straight face.

"Who told you to smell so good? I couldn't resist."

After saying that, Lin Ye restlessly buried his head in Zhu Zhuqing's soft and full chest, took a deep breath, and showed an extremely satisfied expression on his face.

"..."

Zhu Zhuqing was completely speechless; she felt as if all her strength had been drained away.

She rolled her eyes helplessly and patted Lin Ye on the back:

"I'm really fed up with you, all you do all day is eat."

"Hehe..." Lin Ye mumbled indistinctly.

Just as the two were flirting...

"boom!"

Suddenly, a huge commotion erupted outside the tent.

All sorts of panicked shouts and noisy discussions created complete chaos.

"Something terrible has happened!"

"Help! The Grand Marshal... the Grand Marshal is dead!"

A piercing shout instantly echoed throughout the entire military camp.
