C236 Stepping stone (1/2)

With a cultivation base at the tenth level of the Profound-rank, the two hundred imperial guards surrounded Qi Tianyu and the rest. Zhu Yu, who was in a sorry state, looked at Qi Tianyu with eyes filled with killing intent.

”Zhu Liner, looks like your subordinates will not care about your life or death. Do you think it's better if I kill them first? Qi Tianyu used his finger to pick up Zhu Liner's chin, and looked straight into Zhu Liner's eyes, her tone full of ridicule.

”I feel that you don't have to kill me, nor do you have to destroy these imperial guards.” Zhu Liner forced out a smile, and said while looking at Qi Tianyu unwillingly.

”But that fellow who was beaten up earlier was not very willing. I feel that it is necessary for you to die in front of them.” The finger on Qi Tianyu's chin was already filled with Sword Qi. With just a slight movement, it could easily cut open Zhu Liner's neck, and let this beautiful girl feel the terror of her life slowly flowing away.

”Do you want your Princess to die?” Qi Tianyu turned his head to look at Zhu Yu. Facing the two hundred plus odd Profound-rank army, he did not feel the slightest amount of fear.

Zhu Yu looked at Zhu Liner, who was being held hostage by Qi Tianyu, and her face darkened. He was currently struggling between killing Qi Tianyu and protecting the princess of her clan.

”I'll take it that you admit it if you don't.” Qi Tianyu looked at Zhu Yu with eyes filled with killing intent.

Zhu Yu immediately said: ”Don't touch the Princess, Yu Lin Army will be back.”

Only then did Qi Tianyu let go of his hand. The Zhu Liner who had regained her freedom, spoke to Zhu Yu from afar. General Zhu, do not worry about my safety. At the very least, he would not dare to kill me in this secret realm. ”

Hearing that, Qi Tianyu whispered into Zhu Liner's ear: ”What trump card do you think I should have that would allow me to not kill you? It was the Death Substitute Talisman that the Old Saint of your Zhu Family gave you that confidence, or it could be said that you had experienced rebirth once again. ”

”Do you think this object could possibly protect my life?” Something appeared in Zhu Liner's hand.

When Qi Tianyu saw it, he let out an ”oh”. He obviously recognized this item, because he had a key that was the same size and shape in his hand. Maybe the only difference was its color.

”Why is this key in your hand?” Qi Tianyu looked at Zhu Liner with a curious expression. He did not think that Zhu Liner would actually not place the key in the Spatial Ring s, but keep it close to her body.

”That's not important, as long as you know that you won't be able to open the Third Tier Secret Realm's entrance without this.” Zhu Liner looked at Qi Tianyu with a confident expression.

”Are you sure?” Yue Yunfeng could not help but interject.

”Do you think it's your place to interrupt?” Zhu Liner glared coldly at Yue Yunfeng.

With Qi Tianyu as his backing, Yue Yunfeng did not care about what Zhu Liner said in the slightest. He looked at him and continued, ”I just interrupted you, what can you do?”

”At the very least, other than me, no one else would be able to use this key. If you want to reach the Third Tier Secret Realm, you must have me to use this key.” Zhu Liner looked at Qi Tianyu with a gaze filled with certainty.

”I don't think it's that important for the Third Tier Secret Realm to not advance.” Qi Tianyu's words caused Zhu Liner to be extremely shocked.
