In about ten minutes, a majority of Taotie’s minions had already been killed by Blood Asura and Vajra Ape, leaving only a bit more than ten struggling to hold on.
Their eyes betrayed their despair.
Blood Asura’s "Ten Shadows Slash" had cooled down completely.
Ten figures appeared once more.
Blood Asura, along with eleven silhouettes, rushed toward the remaining dozen or so.
At this point, they were all in critical condition.
In the chaos of battle, Blood Asura had also lost quite a bit of blood volume, but the less there was, the more his damage increased.
What surprised Ye Chen was that the passive effect of the Blood God Scythe also applied to the ten clones.
Within just twenty seconds, another eleven were taken down.
Including Taotie, the Cyan Alliance now had only five left.
Vajra Ape let out a raging roar, approaching the four remaining minions.
Grabbing a pet with only three thousand health remaining, he squeezed its head until it exploded.
The other three were swiftly dealt with by Blood Asura.
Blood Asura and Vajra Ape sauntered toward Taotie.
Vajra Ape’s expression was calm, snorting heavily through his nostrils.
Blood Asura wore a sinister grin, occasionally letting out a creepy laugh.
Lin Nuoyi stepped forward, looking at Taotie whose face was filled with terror.
She sneered coldly, "Taotie, now it’s your turn."
Taotie bit his lip, his mouth twitching, his face quivering with fear.
Taotie never imagined these people could be so formidable.
Previously, he had thought those allies slain by Ye Chen and his team were mere useless trash.
He never expected such formidable foes would now come after him.
Blood Asura slowly floated in front of Taotie.
Nearby, the War Armor Wild Boar had shaken off its stupor and snorted at the hovering Blood Asura.
Blood Asura turned, casting a cold glance at the War Armor Wild Boar, then swung the Blood God Scythe at its two tusks.
The sharp blade sliced through the tusks, severing both cleanly.
Fear flickered across the War Armor Wild Boar’s eyes, silencing its snorts altogether.
Lin Nuoyi instructed Iron Bull beside her, "Iron Bull, go fetch those girls upstairs."
Iron Bull nodded and headed upstairs.
After a brief hesitation, Taotie finally spoke, "Just kill me!"
"Hahaha! Kill you?" Lin Nuoyi shot a cold glance at Taotie, gritting her teeth as she said, "Just killing you outright would be too easy, don’t you think?"
"Then what do you want!" Taotie barked in anger.
This Taotie showed more spine than the previous bat; at least he didn’t plead for his life like that one did.
Lin Nuoyi crossed her arms, responding icily, "It’s not about what I want, it’s about what those you’ve tormented want."
Ten minutes later, Iron Bull returned with the girls.
The eleven girls were practically unscathed, sporting numerous wounds across their bodies.
Age ranging from 16 to 20, each possessed exceptional beauty.
Fair skin, well-proportioned figures.
Originally a vibrant age, now they appeared sickly thin, faces gaunt.
Looked as if they’d lost their souls, devoid of vitality.
The eleven girls leaned on each other for support as they descended.
Dressed scantily in only a one-piece undergarment, barely covering their chests and modesty.
Yu Nian rushed forward to help support the girls.
Lin Nuoyi and Zhu Qiang fetched eleven chairs, setting them down.
Seeing the girls, Ye Chen noticed missing flesh on legs and arms and couldn’t help but gasp.
The eleven girls, aided by Yu Nian, sat down.
The short walk seemed to exhaust them, pain biting at them made them clench their teeth, sweat trickling down their foreheads.
Ye Chen purchased eleven bottles of healing medicine from the Points Mall, approaching the girls to administer them one by one.
Suddenly, the wounds on their bodies began healing rapidly, visible to the naked eye.
In no time, they were restored to their original state.
Ye Chen whispered, "Try moving, see if it feels better?"
The girls moved slightly, finding themselves fully healed and pain-free.
Only then did their faces light up with smiles they hadn’t worn for ages.
The girls looked at Ye Chen, teary-eyed, and softly thanked him.
Lin Nuoyi stepped forward, gently speaking, "Ladies, your tormentor stands before you. He’s now like fish on your cutting board, go, torment him to death!"
But as the girls looked upon Taotie, their eyes flooded with terror, bodies trembling, attempting to flee.
Taotie burst into a fit of mocking laughter, "Hahaha, they won’t dare, they can’t! You think they can torment me?! Ask them if they’ve got the guts! Hahaha!"
Lin Nuoyi’s brows furrowed, it seemed Taotie had left a deep scar on these girls’ hearts, making them fear him even now!
Ye Chen watched the arrogant Taotie, a cold smile played on his lips.
These girls had suffered severe psychological trauma.
In their minds, Taotie was like a nightmare.
Past torment made them experience deep-seated fear.
This showed just how terrifying Taotie’s past cruelty had been.
Unless they overcame this trauma, they’d live in shadow forever.
Ye Chen approached the girls, speaking, "Are you afraid of him?"
The girls, eyes brimming with tears, nodded.
The girls nodded firmly.
"Do you want to kill him?"
Again, the girls nodded resolutely.
"So here he is before you, a chance, why not seize it to kill him?" Ye Chen’s gaze was steady, his tone part questioning, part scornful.
The girls fell silent, staring blankly at Ye Chen.
Ye Chen examined them, a small smile appearing as he bent closer to one, saying, "Do you want to live forever under his shadow? Restless days and nights? Or close your eyes and see his menacing face? Do you?"
The girl’s eyes flickered, gazing at Ye Chen, after a moment shook her head!
"And you?" Ye Chen asked another, she shook her head firmly.
Ye Chen questioned each of the eleven girls.
All shook their heads.
Ye Chen suddenly shouted, "Then why, when seeing him, do you hide, not daring to meet his gaze! If you truly want to rid yourselves of his shadow, return the torment in double! Kill him with your own hands! Erase him entirely from your hearts!"
