Chapter 604: Whipping (2/2)
“No, I’m not…” Tiana’s voice was quivering.
“After this day, the Shrine of Ice will disappear from Profound Continent. Your countless years of painstaking work will be undone. While you, friend-selling, treacherous old bitch, will vanish along with it,” as Han Shuo walked towards Tiana, he did not forget to constantly crush her with unfeeling words, disgracing her with all kinds of insults right before her death.
“Shut your mouth! I’m not afraid of you!” Tiana was furious. As the Snow Celestial of the Shrine of Ice, she finally couldn’t bear it when she was cursed in front of the crowd as an ‘old bitch’.
“Pegasus, Graeae, you two carry on with the butchering. Kill every single one of these men in the Shrine of Ice and destroy their foundation,” Han Shuo grinned and instructed Pegasus and Graeae.
“Rest assured, we will purge every last one of them!” Pegasus, in his manticore appearance, with his paws drenched in blood, pledged in a merciless voice.
“Very good. You may proceed!” Han Shuo laughed triumphantly as he flew towards Tiana. It wasn’t clear if Han Shuo had deployed some special spell or martial technique but he formed a whip using incorporeal energy. It made a loud crack when Han Shuo lashed it on Tiana.
As an expert who was on the verge of breakthrough to becoming a basegod, Tiana was unexpectedly incapable of evading Han Shuo’s attack. She had retreated in panic when she sensed incorporeal energy clearly shooting at her, and yet, she could not escape from the whip.
Tiana, who had always bore the image of a grandeur upper-class woman, received a lash to a side of her waist. The foggy mist that constantly surrounded her seemed scatter after that whip and it miraculously dissipated. After that strike, a small hole was torn in the silky white gown, revealing skin as fair as milk underneath. The red bruise from being whipped was plain and clearly visible on her white skin.
Han Shuo had exerted an extremely controlled and precise power when he flogged – It wasn’t enough to instantly kill Tiana, but sufficient to cause her immense pain. The whip that tore away her clothing had caused her an especially unbearable humiliation.
Tiana had always been a goddess-like, esteemed character at the Shrine of Ice and obviously had never suffered such treatment of being whipped like a slave. The pain that Han Shuo brought on her was not at all limited to just the flesh.
“Hehe, interesting, interesting! I believe that those disciples of your Shrine of Ice down there surely have never seen you like this,” Han Shuo laughed grimly. As soon as he finished those words, before Tiana could fly away, Han Shuo gave her another few lashes in a row. While leaving several deep red whip scars on her body, her white gown was further ripped open.
Tiana tried to run, but she could not escape.
Somehow, layers of air walls appeared in her path, causing her to be slower and slower in her escape. Meanwhile, Han Shuo was sneering as he unhurriedly pursued and attacked from behind her. Every strike of the formless attacks landed on Tiana, leaving more and more lash marks on her body. As that happened, some exotic energies intruded her body. They were akin to hundreds upon thousands of little worms gnawing on her flesh.
Right beneath Tiana was a crowd of Shrine of Ice disciples. Pegasus and Graeae had, at some point, ceased their hunting and killing, allowing them to raise their heads up and stare foolishly at the pathetic, miserable character that they so revered. Never ever had they imagined Ice Celestial Tiana, the noblest character of the Shrine of Ice, would be lashed just like a slave.
“You, you demon, just kill me! I won’t let go of you even in death!” The humiliation Tiana received had pushed her to the brink of a mental breakdown.
