Rape is damnable, and necrophilia deserves a thousand cuts even more.
"Hmph, you are courting death!"
After plagiarizing Tang San's famous quote, Lin Xiao snapped his fingers.
The Soul Devouring Fire blazed fiercely.
The four Fallen Ones felt as if they had fallen into the eighteenth layer of Hell, enduring countless torments. The burning and tearing from the depths of their souls caused pain even worse than death by a thousand cuts.
The four Fallen Ones wailed and cursed.
Lin Xiao remained unmoved.
In a moment, the curses turned into pleas for mercy.
This horrific scene sent shivers down Hu Liena's spine, and she couldn't help but feel fear.
Even the symptoms of heat all over her body caused by the aphrodisiac were relieved.
She had heard of the infamous "Ghost Face Flame Monarch" before. Everyone in Slaughter City was evil, living a life on the edge of a knife, and each person was a beast without any sense of propriety or shame.
Under the rules of Slaughter City.
Every day they lived was a gift from heaven. They indulged in evil, debauchery, and sank into desire and slaughter. Death was merely another form of eternal sleep.
That's why the most terrifying thing about the Ghost Face Flame Monarch was this!
In his hands, death was not liberation, but the beginning of painful torment!
Hu Liena's delicate body trembled slightly.
Although Lin Xiao didn't look like a Fallen One, was someone who possessed such terrifying methods truly a good person?
Don't be ridiculous! There were no good people in Slaughter City!
So, after dealing with the four Fallen Ones, how would Lin Xiao handle her?
Given his terrifying nature, was she really worthy of cooperating with him?
Did she really have any bargaining chips for cooperation?
She had just escaped the wolf's den only to enter the tiger's mouth!
Under the burning of the Soul Devouring Fire, the four Fallen Ones finally fell silent. Lin Xiao collected their souls, intending to slowly purify the killing intent and desire within them.
This was a process of decomposition.
Theoretically, if decomposed finely enough, even excrement could lose its smell.
After finishing, Lin Xiao's gaze fell upon Hu Liena.
Her wine-red long hair, amethyst-like enchanting eyes, fair skin, and a figure that combined softness and strength, made her look more like Bibi Dong's daughter compared to the golden-haired, pure Qian Renxue.
Those who liked her could consider her a substitute for Dong Jie.
Under the effect of the aphrodisiac, Hu Liena struggled to maintain her composure, but the alluring scent stimulated by her body, her subconscious twisting movements, and her slightly protruding red tongue, made her entire being scream "in heat."
"What do you want to do? I'm telling you, I'd rather die than..."
Hu Liena's voice was fierce but her heart was weak, putting on a brave front.
But before she could finish her harsh words, she heard Lin Xiao's polite reply.
"Thank you, I don't."
The transition was so smooth and natural, like someone asking if he wanted to eat, and Lin Xiao naturally replying that he didn't.
Hu Liena's voice stopped abruptly.
Before she could feel annoyed, the aftereffects of the aphrodisiac erupted. She suddenly felt a rush to her head, and her rationality completely vanished.
Lin Xiao watched Hu Liena pounce on him.
"Slap."
Hu Liena touched her face, looking at Lin Xiao in confusion.
"Thank you, I don't."
Lin Xiao repeated.
Hu Liena's temper flared up, it was anger, not desire!
"Stay conscious and refine the medicinal power."
Lin Xiao threw out a few dark pills.
Before leaving, Dugu Bo had given Lin Xiao a pile of bottles and jars of poisonous bombs;
And Ye Qingxian had given him various finished medicines.
These dark pills looked like mud balls rolled from an armpit, but in reality, they had a good effect of calming the mind and clearing the heart, and their detoxification effect was significant.
Hu Liena hesitated several times, but finally took the pills from Lin Xiao's hand, swallowed them, and sat down cross-legged to refine the medicinal power.
It wasn't that she trusted Lin Xiao much, it was simply that she had no other choice but to trust him now.
Lin Xiao had already said he wouldn't do it, was she going to beg him to do it?
The Ghost Face Flame Monarch's methods were too terrifying. Hu Liena was like fish on a chopping board before him. Fortunately, the slap Lin Xiao gave her somewhat brought her a sense of security.
Although she couldn't help but feel resentful and a bit indignant deep down...
During the time Hu Liena was refining the medicinal power, Lin Xiao was contemplating. He now had a deep understanding of the situation in Slaughter City and Ma Hongjun's circumstances.
Planning before acting had become a habit.
"In the Hell Slaughter Arena, the only abilities I used were the Soul Devouring Fire and extremely strong physical fitness. My newly acquired abilities are unknown to Ma Hongjun, so he won't know my identity."
"At most, it's just a guess in his heart."
Nearly four years had passed in a flash.
Lin Xiao had grown much taller, his figure more upright, his shoulders broader, and he had made subtle adjustments to his face. The shade of his red maple-colored long hair had also slightly changed.
Ma Hongjun didn't possess the ability to recognize Lin Xiao even if he were turned to ash.
With the enemy in the open and himself hidden, he held the initiative.
"If my identity can remain hidden, it should. And there's no need to expose myself just to lure Ma Hongjun out. Hu Liena is the tempting bait; Ma Hongjun won't let her go."
Lin Xiao gently touched the Ghost Face Mask he was wearing.
Ghost Face Flame Monarch?
This title seemed quite fitting.
After all, in this Slaughter City, where everyone outside paled at the mention of it, Lin Xiao was like a fish in water, truly like a soul reaper from the netherworld.
After the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, Hu Liena had expelled most of the aphrodisiac from her body. The remaining effects were minimal, only making her face flushed and her eyes slightly glazed, but her mind was clear.
Hu Liena opened her eyes and immediately surveyed her surroundings.
What met her eyes was Lin Xiao, dressed in white and wearing a ghost mask. Upon seeing this terrifying "Ghost Face Flame Monarch," her heart actually settled slightly.
She still trusted Lin Xiao... as if!
Hu Liena stood up, nodded to Lin Xiao in thanks, and then, as if greasing her soles, prepared to slip away.
In her extreme anxiety, a cold voice indeed sounded from behind her.
"Leaving in such a hurry?"
Hu Liena quickly turned around and respectfully said:
"Flame Monarch, I've been targeted by that fat guy, and I've been in constant trouble lately. The Flame Monarch saved my life, how could I dare to implicate you further?"
"Once I resolve this trouble, I will definitely repay the Flame Monarch's kindness. If we can meet outside, I will also offer a generous reward."
Tsk tsk, the art of language.
Lin Xiao calmly said:
"First, I've already been implicated; second, you know it's a life-saving grace, and you're just leaving with a simple thank you? Third, if you truly had the ability to solve your troubles, you wouldn't have been forced into such a situation; fourth, didn't you say you wanted to cooperate with me at first? I do need to go through the Hell Road."
"It seems I need to remind you."
"Without me, you would either be alive and raped right now, or dead and desecrated. This is not just any ordinary life-saving grace."
Hu Liena was inwardly lamenting.
Her gratitude was real, but her fear was also real.
Before, she didn't know Lin Xiao's depth and hadn't realized her own shallowness, which was why she had presumptuously wanted to cooperate with Lin Xiao. It was also related to being at her wit's end at that time.
But now...
Lin Xiao was too deep, and she was too shallow.
Cooperation? It was clearly like seeking skin from a tiger!
