Assassinating Davis in the Street

Chapter 337 Assassinating Davis in the Street

"A strategy of using one wolf to devour another?"

A cool female voice rang out. Qian Renxue leaned against Huo Yuhao's chest, a hint of contemplation flashing in her eyes. She pondered the four words repeatedly, as if savoring the hidden sharpness and wit within them.

A moment later, she looked up at the smiling young man beside her, a knowing glint in her beautiful eyes: "You mean, we should sow discord between the Heaven Dou Empire and the Star Luo Empire, let these two empires fight to the death, and then, after they've both suffered heavy losses, our Spirit Hall can reap the benefits?"

Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao's smile deepened. He nodded slightly, his voice clear yet carrying an undeniable certainty: "That's right, this is my plan. The two great empires have deep foundations. If they clash head-on, even if the Spirit Hall wins, it will inevitably suffer heavy losses. What I want is to swallow these two pieces of meat completely at the lowest possible cost."

"At the lowest possible cost—" Qian Daoliu repeated the words in a low voice, a glint of light flashing in his deep eyes. He couldn't help but interject, "Then how can we make these two sworn enemy empires completely break off their alliance and fight to the death?"

For many years, Xingluo and Tiandou have been locked in a standoff, wary of each other, and have long since formed a delicate balance. Breaking this balance is by no means an easy task.

Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao did not answer immediately. Instead, he lowered his eyes slightly, his fingertips unconsciously tracing the patterns on his sleeve. Countless thoughts flashed through his mind, like countless threads intertwining and entwining, ultimately converging into a plan that was bold to the point of being insane.

"The first step," he raised his eyes, his gaze sweeping over Qian Renxue, Bibi Dong, and Qian Daoliu, and said, enunciating each word clearly, "is to restore Dugu Bo's status as a guest elder of the Heavenly Dou Empire. This time, we can't do it quietly; we must make a big fuss and let everyone know. As for the excuse, I've already thought of one: that Dugu Bo, out of consideration for past favors, wants to repay Prince Xuexing for saving his life."

Upon hearing this, all three people in the hall were taken aback.

Qian Renxue frowned slightly, her eyes full of doubt: "Let Dugu Bo return to Tiandou? What does this have to do with our plan to sow discord between the two countries?"

Bibi Dong also turned her gaze to Huo Yuhao. Even Qian Daoliu stroked his gray beard, a hint of confusion flashing in his eyes.

Faced with the three's doubts, Huo Yuhao simply smiled faintly, his gaze fixed on the direction of the Star Luo Empire, his voice suddenly turning cold and sharp: "Of course there is a connection. If the Star Luo Empire and the Heaven Dou Empire are to completely break apart and fight to the death, Davis must die! Moreover, he must die in public, at the hands of a guest elder of the Heaven Dou Empire! Only in this way will the two empires completely break apart."

"Davis?" Qian Renxue's pupils suddenly contracted.

Who is Davis? The Crown Prince of the Star Luo Empire, its future heir apparent. Killing him isn't difficult; what's difficult is killing him at the hands of the Heaven Dou Empire, and doing so in front of everyone!

Qian Daoliu's eyes were filled with shock: "You want—you want Dugu Bo to assassinate Davis? And in the middle of the street?!"

To assassinate a crown prince in the street! That's utterly audacious!

In the thousands of years of history of the Douluo Continent, there has never been such a precedent. The crown prince of a nation represents the face and dignity of an empire. To assassinate him in the street is tantamount to declaring war on an empire! Moreover, if the assassin is a guest minister of the Heaven Dou Empire, the Star Luo Empire will surely hold Heaven Dou accountable. At that time, war between the two countries will be imminent!

Qian Daoliu had lived for over a hundred years and seen countless storms, yet he was still quite taken aback by Huo Yuhao's idea.

Huo Yuhao shook his head, a sly smile playing on his lips: "Yes and no."

Before the words were even finished, the three of them saw Huo Yuhao's figure begin to change. A faint fluctuation of soul power swirled around him, his bones made a slight cracking sound, and his originally handsome face visibly twisted and reshaped. In just a moment, the boy in plain clothes transformed into a hunched old man with a sinister face.

With a head of messy, gray hair, a face covered in wrinkles, and especially those eyes that exuded a venomous coldness and ruthlessness, he was none other than the Poison Douluo, Dugu Bo!

Qian Renxue and Bibi Dong's pupils shrank drastically, and even Qian Daoliu couldn't help but gasp. Huo Yuhao's simulated soul skill was truly terrifying; it was as if Dugu Bo was standing right in front of them.

Before the three could recover from their shock, Huo Yuhao—no, at this moment he was already in the form of "Dugu Bo"—suddenly shouted in a deep voice, "Seventh Soul Skill, Azure Serpent Emperor True Form!"

boom!

A surge of immense soul power suddenly erupted from his body, and his seventh soul ring, as black as ink, slowly rose from beneath his feet. Its deep black color carried a chilling pressure!

At the same time, behind him, a huge phantom slowly emerged. It was a giant serpent with a body of emerald green, its scales shimmering with a cold luster, its eyes vertical and exuding a chilling killing intent. It was Dugu Bo's true martial soul form, the Azure Serpent Emperor!

The phantom of the Azure Serpent Emperor coiled in the hall, its cold, vertical pupils fixed on the direction of the Star Luo Empire, as if it would cross mountains and rivers at any moment and turn the place upside down.

At this moment, Qian Renxue, Bibi Dong, and Qian Daoliu finally understood Huo Yuhao's plan completely.

Where was the order for Dugu Bo to assassinate Davis? It was clearly Huo Yuhao who disguised himself as Dugu Bo, and as a guest elder of the Heaven Dou Empire, went to the Star Luo Empire to take Davis's life in front of everyone!

At that time, everyone will believe that it was Dugu Bo, the Poison Douluo of the Heaven Dou Empire, who assassinated the Star Luo Crown Prince in the street. The Star Luo Empire's wrath will inevitably be unleashed upon the Heaven Dou Empire, the balance between the two nations will be completely shattered, and war will be inevitable. The Spirit Hall, meanwhile, only needs to lie in wait in the shadows, watching the two empires fight to the death, and then seize the opportunity to devour these two behemoths one by one!

What a brilliant move to use someone else to do the dirty work, what a brilliant move to use one wolf to devour another!

Huo Yuhao dispersed his soul power, and the illusory image of the Azure Serpent King slowly disappeared, its dark soul ring also fading into his body. He flickered, transforming back into the handsome young man he once was. He patted the wrinkles on his sleeves, looked at the three dumbfounded figures, and a confident smile played on his lips: "So, how about it? Is my plan feasible?"

Qian Daoliu remained silent for a long time, staring intently at Huo Yuhao, a complex light flashing in his eyes. After a long while, he finally spoke slowly, his voice carrying a hint of solemnity: "This plan is extremely dangerous. Once exposed, you will become the common enemy of both great empires."

Huo Yuhao, are you confident?

Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao raised his eyes, a glint of domineering brilliance flashing in them. He nodded slightly, his voice clear and crisp, yet filled with unwavering certainty: "Of course I'm confident. One hundred percent confident that we will succeed."

When it comes to assassination, Huo Yuhao is a professional. After all, the Extreme Solo Soldier Project in his previous life honed his assassination skills. Back then, Huo Yuhao didn't even have the strength of a Title Douluo, yet he dared to assassinate Xu Tianran. Now that he is invincible, assassinating Davis is absolutely foolproof.

Looking into Qian Daoliu's eyes, Huo Yuhao confidently said, "In this world, there is absolutely no one I want to assassinate who can survive."
