Dragon Slayer

"Dealing with the Purple Pearl Pirate Group is actually quite simple."

Zhou Chen smiled and said, "Incorporate them, make them submit to the Heaven Dou Empire, pledge allegiance to Empress Xue Ke, and make them part of the Empire Fleet, receiving monthly salaries, to fight for the Empire!"

"Huh? You can do that?"

Xiao Bai was immediately dumbfounded and said incredulously.

Given the simple and straightforward way of thinking of these Sea Soul Beasts, when dealing with enemies, there are generally only two paths: destroy the opponent or be destroyed by the opponent. Why would they need so many twists and turns?

Of course, if you really can't win and don't want to be destroyed by the enemy, there is a third way: retreat and stay far away from the enemy.

For example, the Demon Spirit Great White Shark clan, unable to defeat the Evil Spirit Tiger Whale clan, had no choice but to retreat and seek the protection of the Sea God near Sea God Island.

"Who is it?"

Just then, a shout rang out, and immediately, several figures shot over from not far away.

These people were all Soul Master, around level 30 Soul Elder, and were also scouts placed on the coast by the Purple Pearl Pirate Group.

Upon seeing Zhou Chen and Xiao Bai, the Soul Master were immediately shocked.

How can there be such a handsome young man and such a beautiful young woman?

Did these two handsome men and beautiful women come to Purple Pearl Island, just like the fishermen nearby, to join the Purple Pearl Pirate Group?

The Soul Master exchanged bewildered glances.

"Hey, you guys..."

A burly Soul Master who appeared to be the leader stepped forward, cleared his throat, and made a fierce expression. He was about to ask a few questions in a pretentious manner when suddenly someone grabbed his arm.

The cowardly pirate whom Zhou Chen had just thrown ashore was now pale-faced, blocking the way of the burly Soul Master and whispering in his ear, "You're no match for him! Go and fetch the captain!"

"What?"

The burly Soul Master leading the group was completely bewildered. What the hell? Did they really need to ask the leader to intervene when dealing with just two teenagers?

You should know that their leader, Zi Zhenzhu, is a Soul Emperor!

Wait a minute, wasn't this kid supposed to be plundering merchant ships with Lord Heidel? How come he's here all alone?

Could it be...?

Upon realizing that possibility, the burly Soul Master in the lead narrowed his eyes and glanced at the timid pirate, whispering, "Where is Lord Heidel?"

"He's dead."

The cowardly pirate looked terrified, and tried to keep his voice down, saying in a trembling voice, "They're all dead, killed by that... demon girl."

The cowardly pirate didn't dare reveal that the girl was actually a Demon Spirit Great White Shark in human form, as it was simply too horrifying.

Rumor has it that the only Soul Master in this world who can transform into human form are those whose cultivation is sufficient to rival a Title Douluo... No, no, no, that's too terrifying. It's just a guess, just a guess!

Upon hearing this, the burly Soul Master in the lead was shocked, feeling utterly incredulous.

Lord Heidel was Soul King, and his pirate ships contained many Soul Masters. How could they have been wiped out so easily?

And he was killed by this seemingly innocent and cute beautiful girl in front of him?

What is this girl's cultivation level? Soul Emperor? Or Soul Saint?

The burly Soul Master who was leading the group glanced at Xiao Bai discreetly, which Xiao Bai noticed instantly.

The thought of her Chen Ge recruiting these pirates made Xiao Bai feel that she should act kinder, so she smiled sincerely at the burly Soul Master.

This laugh terrified the burly Soul Master who was leading the group; his legs went weak, and he almost knelt down on the spot.

Having finally regained his footing, the burly Soul Master in the lead immediately activated his Soul Power, turned around, and ran with all his might towards where the leader Zi Zhenzhu, lived!

That girl was terrifying; she was definitely an old monster who had rejuvenated!

"Huh? What's that pirate up to?"

Xiao Bai looked at the burly Soul Master who ran faster than a rabbit and asked with a confused expression.

"They must have gone to call for help."

Zhou Chen sneered, his eyes fixed on the cowardly pirate before him with a half-smile, and said calmly, "What? Now that you're back on Purple Pearl Island, do you think you can oppose me now that you have a backer?"

"My lord, I wouldn't dare, I absolutely wouldn't dare!"

The cowardly pirate, his face pale, said, "My lord, I only wanted that man to go and summon the captain to see you..."

"Alright, no need for explanation, I'll just wait here."

Zhou Chen smiled and said softly.

Before long, pirates began to arrive from the depths of the island, and soon several thousand pirates had gathered.

Instead of attacking immediately, the pirates split into small groups and stood together in a semi-circle, exuding a murderous aura!

Soon, a purple figure shot over, accompanied by a cold yet domineering voice. "Who goes there? How dare you cause trouble for my Purple Pearl Pirate Group?"

Before he finished speaking, the purple figure stopped not far away and looked at Zhou Chen.

This is a woman with a well-proportioned figure, dressed in purple. She looks to be in her prime, with a beautiful face, a straight nose, fair skin, and short purple hair that looks neat and tidy, exuding a heroic spirit.

At this moment, she was looking at Zhou Chen with a pair of beautiful purple eyes, her eyes filled with shock.

Alright, another fangirl stunned by my handsomeness.

Clearly, this woman in purple is Zi Zhenzhu, the leader of the Purple Pearl Pirate Group.

At this moment, in Zi Zhenzhu's eyes, Zhou Chen had a full Heavenly Court, a handsome face, and eyes that shone like stars, as if they contained the cosmos!

Moreover, Zhou Chen exuded an aura of nobility, like an emperor, and every gesture he made was so noble and domineering.

This was the first time in her life that Zi Zhenzhu had ever met such a person.

After gazing at Zhou Chen's handsome face for a long time, Zi Zhenzhu reluctantly withdrew her gaze, but couldn't help but sigh in her heart that there was such a handsome man in this world.

If she had met this handsome young man earlier, perhaps she would never have fallen in love with women.

Yes, Zi Zhenzhu likes women.

In the original storyline, she even competed with Tang San for Xiao Wu Tang San, but ended up getting a severe beating from him.

However, Zhou Chen was just too handsome, and he immediately attracted Zi Zhenzhu's attention, making her not even interested in glancing at Xiao Bai next to her.

Taking a deep breath, Zi Zhenzhu raised her hand to gently cover her towering breasts, suppressing her pounding heart, and then said in a deliberately profound tone, "Boy, is it you who killed Heidel and wiped out a large squadron of our Purple Pearl Pirate Group?"

"It wasn't me, it was her."

Zhou Chen pointed to Xiao Bai beside him and said sincerely, "Your pirate fleet was basically wiped out by her. I just happened to kill a few that escaped."

"You... how dare you!!"

Zi Zhenzhu, the captain of the Purple Pearl Pirate Group, had dominated this sea for many years, but this was the first time she had ever encountered someone so audacious!

This brat actually dared to speak so arrogantly and recklessly in front of her, about how he killed her subordinates!

Even though you're handsome, you can't be this arrogant!

Zi Zhenzhu was slightly angry and determined to teach this brat a lesson!

She immediately activated her Soul Power and unleashed her Martial Soul!

In an instant, two yellow, two purple, and two black Soul Ring, in the perfect ratio, rose slowly from beneath Zi Zhenzhu's feet.

Although Zi Zhenzhu is actually older than she appears, judging from her Soul Emperor level strength, this woman's talent is indeed quite strong.

Then, she slightly twisted her body, making her appear softer, and a layer of small, grayish-blue scales appeared on her skin, emitting a grayish-black light.

Clearly, her Martial Soul is related to snakes.

However, Zi Zhenzhu's Martial Soul is not an ordinary snake, but a unique type of snake from the ocean, the Sea Viper.

Sea Viper possess a unique, incurable, yet non-fatal, venom. After being bitten, the only way to neutralize the venom is to remain exposed to sunlight for three days.

Moreover, during these three days, people bitten by Sea Viper cannot eat anything, but can only drink a small amount of water. They must stand up straight, and the cold poison will be forced into the ground by the sun.

It was precisely because of this icy poison that Zi Zhenzhu, with the strength of a Soul Emperor, was able to Battle Soul Saint beyond her level, thus dominating this sea area.

"Hmph, you killed Heidel and the others, and you still dare to be so arrogant? You're simply outrageous!"

Before she finished speaking, a gray-black light suddenly shone on Zi Zhenzhu's body, and a huge, coiled phantom appeared behind her.

The phantom gradually solidified and split into nine giant snakes, each over ten meters long, which lunged at Xiao Bai!

Yes, Zi Zhenzhu still couldn't bring herself to teach Zhou Chen a lesson; instead, she planned to give Xiao Bai a good beating first.

She had already heard from her subordinates that it was this pretty young girl who killed Heidel and the others!

Moreover, this girl's strength is very likely to be that of a Soul Emperor, or even Soul Saint!

Therefore, Zi Zhenzhu went all out from the start, using her strongest Soul Skill — Nine-Headed Viper Devour!

However, Xiao Bai's gaze remained unchanged in the face of Zi Zhenzhu's all-out attack. She could kill a mere human Soul Emperor with a single breath.

Of course, the power of the Nine-Headed Viper Devour is still very strong. Xiao Bai thinks that even some human Soul Saint on Sea God Island might not be able to withstand this move.

Nine giant snakes crashed into Xiao Bai's body, but Xiao Bai did not move, taking the impact of the nine giant snakes with its own chest.

"Bang!"

With a muffled thud, the thousands of pirates present clearly saw a ring of blue-gold light suddenly appear around Xiao Bai's body. The nine giant snakes suddenly crashed into her, but shattered instantly, failing to cause Xiao Bai any harm.

Upon seeing this, Zi Zhenzhu was immediately stunned.

However, with her extensive combat experience, she immediately pushed off with her foot and retreated rapidly backward!

We can't win, we can't win, let's retreat!

However, Xiao Bai was faster than her!

A beam of blue-gold light shot out from between Xiao Bai's eyebrows and struck Zi Zhenzhu in the blink of an eye.

With a flash of blue-gold light, the Zi Zhenzhu was already immobilized.

This is the Sea God's Light that Bo Saixi bestowed upon Xiao Bai!

The Sea God's Light is not only incredibly effective against Sea Soul Beast, but it is also quite powerful against Sea Soul Master!

Silence!

Silence!

Almost all the pirates present were stunned by this scene.

The usually assertive leader of the Zi Zhenzhu Guild was actually crushed in a short period of time?

Many pirates rubbed their eyes and pinched their thighs to make sure they weren't dreaming.

"Chen Ge, how was it? Did I do well?"

Xiao Bai turned to look at Zhou Chen and chuckled.

"Xiao Baibai is amazing!"

Zhou Chen gave Xiao Bai an approving look, then turned his head and walked step by step toward the Zi Zhenzhu.

Zi Zhenzhu had already retreated into the pirate group, but when they saw Zhou Chen approaching, the pirates silently made way for him, watching Zhou Chen walk past them without daring to stop him.

They weren't stupid. The pretty girl who just defeated Zi Zhenzhu was definitely more than just Soul Saint; she was probably at least Soul Douluo, or even a Title Douluo!

As the saying goes, birds of a feather flock together, and a young man who can walk alongside such a strong person is clearly not weak either.

Faced with overwhelming power, even the most ruthless and vicious pirates could only retreat.

Zhou Chen walked smoothly to Zi Zhenzhu's side, reached out and grabbed her Zi Zhenzhu and delicate neck, lifting her entire body up.

"You must be Zi Zhenzhu. Your strength isn't much, but you certainly have a temper."

Zhou Chen looked at Zi Zhenzhu, whose purple eyes were wide and whose face was filled with unyielding defiance, and smiled faintly, saying, "According to my information, you have been leading pirates to slaughter noble merchant ships in this sea area for many years, and you have also frequently used the wealth obtained by the pirates to help some fishing villages on the coast that are struggling to make ends meet, is that right?"

"So what if it is?"

Although Zi Zhenzhu couldn't move her body, she could still move her mouth. With an indomitable expression, she said, "Those nobles are cruel and heartless! Countless kind and timid fishermen have been forced into piracy, their families destroyed! Those nobles deserve to die!"

After a pause, Zi Zhenzhu, growing increasingly agitated, continued, "Why do you think our Purple Pearl Pirate Group has so many people? Most of these pirates in front of you were originally fishermen from the coast. If they hadn't been forced to live by the nobles, do you think anyone would have wanted to become a pirate?"

"Kill me if you want! If I even flinch, I'm not Zi Zhenzhu!"

"Oh, so tough? Aren't you afraid of dying?"

Zhou Chen looked at Zi Zhenzhu with a half-smile, his hand gripping her neck tightening until Zi Zhenzhu's face turned red and she almost suffocated!

Just as Zi Zhenzhu was about to be crushed to death, an elderly pirate knelt down in the distance and cried out, "My lord, please release Captain Zi Zhenzhu! She's a good person!"

"Let her go? Fine!"

Zhou Chen chuckled and tossed the Zi Zhenzhu to the ground.

Zi Zhenzhu lay on the ground, panting heavily, like a salted fish that had been separated from the sea.

Xiao Bai walked over, looked at Zhou Chen, and asked in confusion, "Chen Ge, why did you let her go? If you had killed her, the Purple Pearl Pirate Group would have fallen apart, and it would have been easier to incorporate her into the gang."

"Because she suits my taste."

Zhou Chen's lips curled into a smile as he said, "In this Douluo Plane, which is still in a feudal era, there actually appears Dragon Slayer Zhang Zhengyi and eliminates evil. How interesting is that!"
