"Stop!" Several people present shouted loudly, but their shouts were no louder than Tashia's screams. This princess-like person had never been tortured like this before, and her body suddenly collapsed, tears and blood flowing down her cheeks.
There was no mercy on Sancho's face. He raised his knife and stabbed her arm again. Tasya let out another wail, followed by loud sobs.
"Asshole! You want hostages, you want torture, come at me! Let her go!" Xiao Chen roared. He never thought that a delicate and lovely girl like Tasia would be tortured like this by the enemy. "Did you hear me? I'll trade with her! Come and stab me if you dare!"
"Brother Xiao, don't say that! You are too important." Catalina shouted, "I'll take her place! At least I'm a warrior!"
"Seeing that you care about her so much, why should I change her? I am not the kind of person who seeks trouble." Sancho said. There was a bit of madness in his eyes now. Perhaps destroying beautiful things with his own hands brought him a special excitement.
"Have you thought it through? Are you the heir of the Dream Tower? Otherwise, I'll kill you again!" Sancho pulled up one of Tashia's hands and placed the dagger at the base of her thumb. "You don't want her to become a mage without fingers, do you?"
Xiao Chen activated the lightning thought magic at this time. His thinking was extremely fast, and the speed of the world around him seemed to slow down all of a sudden. He calculated various possibilities and found that there was almost no feasible way to save Tashia without causing her more harm.
The effect of the magic wore off, and the speed around him returned to normal. Xiao Chen held his dizzy head and said, "I admit it! I am the mage of the Dream Tower!"
"Don't say anything! Leave me alone!" Tasia cried.
Sancho punched Tasya in the face, knocking her unconscious. She even stopped crying. He sneered, "Miss Tasya, I have seen many brave and unyielding people, or people who refuse to repent. However, you are obviously not one of them. Now shut up!"
"Demon! Stop!" Belia tried to rush forward, but was held back by Roger and Catalina.
"You said you are the wizard of the Dream Tower, then you have to produce evidence!" Sancho said to Xiao Chen again.
"Evidence? What evidence is there? I admit it, what else do you want?"
Seeing Sancho raise his fist again, Xiao Chen hurriedly said: "I got the "Shadow Scroll of the Sea of Consciousness" and cultivated the meditation space. I can show you a small part of the meditation space."
"Hmph, you don't need to do that now. I'll let you prove it later. Ikasa, Kona and the others must know your identity, right?"
"I don't know, they just think I'm very talented and have a bright future!" Xiao Chen replied.
"Do you think I'm an idiot?" Sancho pressed the dagger against Tasya's fingers again.
"Stop! They all know."
"Very good! Very good! Facts have proved that I am right. A lion waits for the right moment to catch its prey. I have waited for so long and finally caught you." Sancho took out a small badge from the storage ring. After inputting fighting spirit into it, the badge scattered complex light and formed a teleportation array under the feet of the two people.
"Now, Lord Xiao Chen, please enter this teleportation array and come back with me to the Shadow Group's base for a good talk." He threw another rope from the ring, "Let your guards tie your hands behind your back. Don't have any crooked ideas. I will leave a woman's body behind and disappear. By then, your castle will suffer the most severe blow from the Temple of Nature. If you come with me obediently, I think we can still talk about a lot of things."
"Brother Xiao! This is too dangerous." Katarina grabbed Xiao Chen's hand and stuffed a blade into his hand.
"I won't give in easily. Roger, you tie me up."
Roger picked up the rope on the ground and used his finger strength to loosen it calmly. Then he began to tie up Xiao Chen's arms. He knew that Xiao Chen was very strong and he should be able to break such a rope.
But unexpectedly, Sancho threw another rope to Belia and said, "I think the rope just now is not strong enough, go and tie another one for him. You have to think clearly, your lady's life depends on whether he follows me obediently."
Belia did not have the tacit understanding with Roger. She glanced at Tasia who had her head down, then lowered her head to pick up the rope and began to tie up Xiao Chen.
Everyone's attention was focused on Xiao Chen's hands, even Sancho was concentrating on watching them kidnap people. No one noticed that Tashia's gray eyes suddenly began to shine red.
That is fire.
The flames that burned everything began to awaken in her blood. The blood of the Fire Phoenix family was actually very thin in her body, but the despair, humiliation and hatred at this moment completely stimulated it. These tiny bits of power began to summon the fire magic around her body and gathered into her blood.
These fiery forces blended with her spiritual power, producing strange and violent changes. They were like sparks meeting oil, like lime meeting water. They began to wake up, to beat, and to burn.
Sancho suddenly found that Tassia's body was getting lighter and lighter, but hotter and hotter. This process happened too quickly and too quickly, and he didn't even have time to react before Tassia's skin burned his hands. Then, all her clothes were on fire.
"Woman! What are you doing!" He thrust the dagger into Tasya's chest without hesitation, but the imagined blood-spattering scene did not occur. The dagger seemed to have been thrust into a flame, and the high temperature from the dagger caused Sancho to lose his grip. The dagger fell to the ground without any hindrance, and the blade had been burned slightly red.
Sancho retreated hastily, preparing to activate the formation to escape. Tashia turned around and rushed towards him. Her clothes had been burned to ashes, and her body had turned into orange-red flames. Although the outline of her human form could still be seen, she was no different from a phoenix made of fire magic.
Xiao Chen and others were stunned by this sudden change.
"Miss!" Belia cried out in panic, "How did you become like this!"
"She turned into a ball of fire." Catalina murmured.
"No matter what, let's help Tashia kill Sancho first!" Xiao Chen broke free from the ropes and began to use ice spears to bombard Sancho's teleportation array. Roger and Catalina rushed forward to fight with Sancho.
Sancho was gradually outnumbered in the siege.
"Listen! Listen, we can still talk, how about making a deal?"
However, no one paid attention to his words, and everyone just wanted to completely eliminate this demon.
