Volume 3: The Wind Rises Chapter 17: Salsies (below)

The soft moonlight enveloped the earth, and Salcius' entire figure looked extraordinarily transcendent under the moonlight! Salcius shook his head and said to Tianxin, ''I haven't really reached the Holy Rank, I've only touched the threshold of the Holy Rank! If I had truly reached the Saint rank, even if you had used that move just now, you wouldn't have been able to hurt me in the slightest! The gap between the Saint Rank and the Ninth Rank is even greater than you can imagine!" "The threshold of the Saint rank? It seems like there's going to be another Saint Rank expert on the Phantom Blue Continent before long!" Tian Xin looked at Salcis and said weakly. Salthis smiled and said, "You are also very good, from that sword just now, it seems that your realm has already reached the Holy Rank, but it's just that you don't have enough energy! I believe it's only a matter of time before you enter the Holy Rank!" "However, perhaps one of us won't have a chance with the Holy Rank in this life!" Tian Xin looked at Punio who walked over and said indifferently. Salthis ignored Punio who walked over and pondered for a moment before raising his head and saying to Tian Xin, "You go! I advise you not to make an enemy of the Illuminati just yet! The Illuminati isn't just that simple to show either!" Tian Xin froze, and Punio at the side also froze. Pnio stared at Salthis and said eagerly, "Old friend, did I hear you correctly! Don't forget His Holiness the Pope's order, if he finds out, you'll definitely be punished by the Doctrine!" Salcius let out a cold snort and looked at Puño with a face full of anger, "Puño, I treat you as my Salcius' friend, don't threaten me with the Pope of Light. I don't need others to interfere with what I, Salcius, do! Otherwise don't blame me for turning my back on you!" Punio looked at Tianxin, who was sitting on the ground, with an iron face. Suddenly, a powerful spiritual force violently attacked towards Tian Xin! The powerful spiritual power directly ignored the defense of Tianxin's body surface and surged towards Tianxin's mind! "Punio! You bastard! At this moment, Salthis also realized Purnio's intentions and looked at Purnio in shock and anger. Unfortunately, it was already too late to stop it! "Roar! "Seeing Puño's sudden attack, Tiantian let out a roar. Countless channels of energy emanated from Tiantian's body, and the powerful energy directly twisted Punio's entire body into powder! The berserk energy caused Salthis to take a few steps back as well! Salthis looked at the white tiger with an unbelievable look on his face, how could he not expect that this guy, who he didn't feel the slightest bit of energy from, would be this terrifying! It would be this terrifying! "Boss, boss are you alright!" Seeing Tianxin on the ground frowning in pain, Tiantian hurriedly transmitted his voice. "The mental power of a ninth level magician is really strong enough, I almost let it break through my mental defense!" Looking at that last trace of gray energy in his mind, it was also dissolved by his spiritual power. Tian Xin breathed out a sigh of relief! In fact, since the last time Tian Xin fought with that Light Sacrifice in Xue Fei City and knew that Light Magicians had such special attacks, every time he fought, Tian Xin had prepared for it well in advance! "Tian Tian, I'm fine! But this time..." Before Tianxin could finish his sentence, he violently protruded a mouthful of blood, and immediately fainted! "Boss," Tian Tian exclaimed, looking anxiously at Tian Xin! Ryan and Ordoff also came to Tianxin's side, everyone had an anxious look on their faces! At this time, Salthis walked over, Tiantian looked at Salthis who walked over and said with a wary face, "Hey, what do you want to do, if you still want to hurt my boss, don't blame me for not being polite!" Salcius was dumbfounded, this tiger in front of him was actually a Holy Rank Magical Beast! But then he let it go, only the strongest of the Saint rank or above could shadow their breath in front of them! Instantly changed into a doubt: "The continent's holy order tiger magical beasts although they have not completely seen, but also have not seen which book of information recorded on the holy order tiger magical beasts ah! Tiantian became even more vigilant when he saw Salthis's changing face. The aura on his body was also slowly rising! Feeling the changes in Tiantian's body, Salthis was violently startled and hurriedly said to Tiantian, "That that you misunderstood, I just wanted to come and take a look at his injuries!" Salcius pointed his finger at Tianxin on the ground. Knowing that the tiger in front of him was a Saint rank magical beast, Salcius didn't even know how to address it. Looking at Tiantian in front of him, Salcius was filled with embarrassment! Tien's small face was full of seriousness as he looked at Salcis, "I hope what you said is true, quickly help me see how the boss is really doing!" Salthis walked to the front of Tianxin and inputted his fighting qi into Tianxin's body, after a while he said, "Don't worry about it guys, his life is not in danger, he just suffered a very serious injury, and in the end he was subjected to Purnio's spiritual attack, which caused the spirit to be away from being damaged, and he went into a state of lethargy! He'll wake up after a few days of rest! If you guys don't mind, just go to my city lord's mansion to rest first, and you'll make a decision when he wakes up! I also have some things I want to talk to him about when he wakes up." Said Salthis glancing at Tenshin on the ground! Tenshin glanced at Ryan and Ordov and contemplated for a while before saying, "I also want to wait for the boss to wake up before I make a decision, but if I don't leave this place, what if the Illuminati sends someone again?" Salthis smiled, "Don't worry, this place is still nearly 10 days away from Tianlong City, even if the Illuminati knows about this matter, mobilizing people to come over will be half a month later. Moreover, I will also send someone to pay attention to the movements of the Illuminati and inform you at any time, so you don't have to worry at all!" "Why are you helping us like this, aren't you afraid that the Illuminati will punish you?" Tian Tian stared at Salthis with unblinking eyes. Salthis glanced at Tianxin on the ground and sighed in his heart, "18 years ago it was my Dragon God Empire that had wronged you, the Dragon Family, and today, 18 years later, if I let you die in front of me, I would really not have the face to see my old friend!" The Dragon Family? If Tian Xin knew what was in Salcius' heart, he would have been shocked! It didn't occur to him that this Salthis could know his identity as a member of the Dragon Family! "You will know later, let's leave here first!" After Salcius finished speaking, he walked towards the outside! Tian Tian propped Tian Xin on his back, "Let's go, Ryan, Grandpa Ordov, go with this guy first! We'll talk about everything when the boss wakes up!" Ryan nodded and assisted O'Dorf to follow behind Tien! When Tiantian and the others followed Salthis to the City Lord's Mansion in the Kuris Province, the sky had already turned over into a fish's belly! Without realizing it, it was about to dawn! The City Lord's Mansion of the Kouris Province was again the residence of the Second Prince of the Dragon God Empire. The entire mansion was grand and imposing! Salthis brought Tiantian and the others to a quiet courtyard, ''You guys can rest here first, I'll notify you anytime there's any movement from the Illuminati! Just instruct the subordinates if you need anything!" Tien turned to Salthis who was about to leave, "Salthis, although I don't know the purpose of what you're doing, I still want to thank you!" Salthis paused in his stance and walked out without looking back!
