C248 Saintly qi (1/2)
The devil shadow's seventh palm struck towards Qi Tianyu who was about to land on the ground, but with a flap of the wings that Zhu Liner had transformed into, she actually used her own body to help Qi Tianyu block this attack.
Zhu Liner suffered such heavy injuries, the Rosefinch Fire on her body became much dimmer. During the process of falling, Zhu Liner had recovered to human form, so before she landed, she took out a jade pendant and offered it to her.
Zhu Liner held up the jade pendant, causing it to instantly shatter in mid air, and a hazy figure walked out.
Qi Tianyu looked at the jade pendant with an understanding expression. As the successor to Rosefinch Dynasty, how could that Old Saint not have methods to protect Zhu Liner's life? Last time, when Zhu Liner was outside of the Nanyang Capital City, he was caught unprepared by Qi Tianyu due to her carelessness.
Now, in the nick of time, Zhu Liner had directly used his life saving technique. That was a forbidden weapon personally crafted by the Old Saint s of Rosefinch Dynasty and it contained a strand of Old Saint's energy, which she used to save him at critical moments.
The Old Saint of the Rosefinch Dynasty appeared in midair and blocked Zhu Liner's falling momentum. He very gently placed Zhu Liner on the ground, then turned around and looked at the devil shadow.
”The spirit of an old saint.” The demonic shadow's vision was not ordinary, and it immediately recognized the origin of this strand of sage aura.
”He is my descendant. I want her to live.” The voice of the Rosefinch Dynasty Old Saint did not contain the slightest bit of emotion, it was extremely cold.
”You think that just a strand of incomplete Qi will be able to save your life?” The demonic shadow did not talk to the Old Saint, but instead, it looked at Zhu Liner who was on the ground and revealed a mocking smile.
It was not that the Demon Shadow did not care about a saint, but it was because the refinement of the saint's aura was not perfect. It only contained some of the power of the Old Saint and a sliver of the will to protect Zhu Liner. They didn't have the ability to communicate.
”Even if it's only a strand of the aura of my Sect, your strength at the peak of the tenth stage of the Heaven-rank cannot possibly kill me under his hands.” With the protection of the wisp of Rosefinch Dynasty and the aura from the Old Saint, Zhu Liner was not afraid in the slightest when facing the devil shadow.
The Demon Shadow looked at Zhu Liner and coldly spat out these four words, ”It's only Saint-rank.”
It was just Saint-rank, yet no one within the entire Rosefinch Dynasty dared to say such words. However, the words that came out of the mouth of the devil shadow, which had been sealed for ten thousand years, seemed to have a lot of credibility.
The other demonic phantoms had already disposed of all the rogue cultivators. Originally, there were close to ten thousand rogue cultivators who had spent all their energy to get to this secret realm, but now, there were only a few hundred of them who managed to luckily leave behind their lives and charged into the third floor.
Sixteen devils stood in the air, looking at the energy created by the Rosefinch Dynasty. Not a single one of them revealed any fear in front of this saint's power, even though their strength had been damaged to such a degree, a single Saint-rank was still nothing to them.
The demon shadow that was fighting with Qi Tianyu previously retreated. He and Qi Tianyu had consumed a lot of energy, and although he had not put the aura of a single Old Saint in his eyes, he had not acted arrogantly, and had chosen to let the other demon shadows handle this strand of energy from the Rosefinch Dynasty instead.
Even though it sounded very long, it was actually only a couple of breaths of time since Zhu Liner activated his Rosefinch Dynasty. The aura of the Rosefinch Dynasty Old Saint had an instinct to battle, and directly reached out towards the sixteen devils with a flaming hand.
