Chapter 49: Never Withered

The black fire turned into scattered stars, scattered around the two demons. There was no burning sensation, and it even felt a bit cool. It didn't even affect the grass on the ground. The two demons didn't take it too seriously and tried to wave away the black fire in front of them, intending to attack Li Qingjun.

However, the black fire, which seemed unable to even burn the grass, immediately ignited as soon as it touched their arms. The burning sensation pierced through their bodies, just like the feeling they had when they were in the demon refining formation.

The two demons roared furiously, and their violent Monster Qi surged out, forcefully pushing the black fire away from their arms. Even the burned flesh was pushed out, dripping with blood.

Ye Ling clapped her hands and laughed, "Getting used to it!"

She felt somewhat regretful.

This was the Winged Serpent's Heavenly Fire, her innate Divine Ability... Although her bloodline was thin and couldn't fully unleash its true power, the main reason was that her injuries hadn't healed yet. Otherwise, the effect of this fire would be more than just this... What a pity.

At this moment, Li Qingjun's silver spear had already reached the face of the eagle demon.

Based on common knowledge, the eagle and snake were natural enemies. Li Qingjun didn't know how the Winged Serpent would react, so she instinctively chose to deal with the eagle demon.

Ye Ling turned her head and smiled at her. Her figure suddenly disappeared and reappeared with a dagger, which she thrust into the waist of the wolf demon. She could only hold back one demon at most, and she probably wouldn't be able to hold on for long. If her injuries flared up, it would be over...

It seemed like a two-on-two situation, but Ye Ling knew very well that they couldn't really defeat these two demons. Li Qingjun was ignorant and fearless, how could Ye Ling not know?

Ye Ling didn't even know why she was accompanying this reckless princess. According to her own thoughts, she should have run away with her tail between her legs... Perhaps she really was just a stupid snake.

On the other side, the eagle demon tilted its head to avoid the spear that was whistling towards it. With a casual pat, Li Qingjun was almost spun around by the pat. She stumbled a few steps before barely regaining her balance, feeling shocked.

Such a huge difference?

In the corner of her eye, she saw the figures of the wolf demon and Ye Ling intertwining, but she could hardly see their specific movements.

A Great Monster at the Body Transformation Stage and a postnatal Martial Artist... The difference was really this huge.

Was she really just a burden here?

In just a moment of distraction, the eagle claw was already at her throat.

Li Qingjun quickly retreated three steps, and the tip of her spear trembled as she swung it, unleashing countless silver lights that converged into the form of a dragon, roaring towards the eagle demon.

With the eruption of intense True Qi, a beam of light lit up from her waist.

"Clang!"

The eagle demon also retreated three steps, its sharp eyes filled with astonishment. "Where does this peculiar power come from?"

It didn't have time to think too much as Li Qingjun's spear shadows piled up, entangling it to the point where it couldn't breathe. In terms of technique alone, Li Qingjun could crush it by ten streets. When faced with a power that restrained its demonic power, it couldn't afford to underestimate her.

The eagle demon retreated a few more steps, shaking off the spear shadows that clung to Li Qingjun like a festering sore. Suddenly, it raised its arm and let out a long howl.

A strong whirlwind swept through the battlefield, instantly stirring up flying sand and rocks. The sharp wind blades swept towards Li Qingjun, each capable of killing a person.

How could an ordinary person possibly defeat such a demon? Even her brother would have a hard time, right?

The eagle demon had already approached her, its eagle claw clenched into a fist, aiming for Li Qingjun's abdomen.

Li Qingjun couldn't keep up with the situation and inwardly exclaimed, "It's over."

But unexpectedly, the anticipated intense pain didn't come. A wolf tooth club whistled from a distance, like a thousand-pound boulder smashing down. The eagle demon raised its arm to block, and the wolf tooth club spun back, only for someone to swiftly catch it and launch a jumping strike towards the eagle demon.

It was done in one go, clean and neat.

Qin Yi had finally arrived!

The imposing aura of the wolf tooth club, like a mountain crashing down, finally forced the eagle demon to retreat slightly, weakening the wind blades in the process.

"Qin Yi!" Li Qingjun continued to block the wind blades, overjoyed, "You're back!"

Qin Yi sternly said, "Don't let your guard down."

Before the words could even fall, a gray shadow swiftly approached behind Li Qingjun, and a palm slapped her waist.

It was the wolf demon who had finally freed itself from Ye Ling's entanglement and launched a quick sneak attack.

Qin Yi desperately swept away the eagle demon and was about to rescue Li Qingjun, but suddenly froze.

Although Li Qingjun was hit and spurted blood as she fell forward, at the same time, a bright light shone from her waist, and a colorful brilliance burst out from the jade pendant, sprinkling onto the wolf demon. The wolf demon let out a painful roar and instantly transformed from its human form into a huge wolf, howling towards the sky.

Ye Ling closely followed, stabbing a dagger into its buttocks.

The howl became even more mournful, and the entire wolf body trembled, throwing Ye Ling away with a loud "bang," crashing heavily into the courtyard wall, causing the entire wall to collapse and bury Ye Ling underneath.

Li Qingjun spat out clotted blood, staggered to stand firm, without even a moment to catch her breath. She immediately twisted her waist, and with her spear roaring like a dragon, pierced through the wolf demon's mouth, breaking through the layers of wind blades.

The colorful light reappeared, bursting out from the wolf demon's mouth. The light on its wolf head dissipated, and it had already lost its breath.

The eagle demon was horrified and no longer entangled with Qin Yi. It transformed back into its original form and flew away flapping its wings. It didn't know why, even though it clearly had the upper hand, it suddenly ended up like this. What exactly was that colorful brilliance?

It was said that Li Qinglin had a jade pendant that could ward off evil. But how could it be here?

The sky was filled with flickering black flames. It made an abrupt stop in the air and turned its head to see a black light rushing towards it like thunder and lightning.

The eagle demon turned angrily, "Are you really going to exterminate us all without any consideration for our Monster Race kinship?"

In the air, Ye Ling's disheveled and dirty figure appeared, hands on hips, "Did you just find out how fierce I am?"

Qin Yi looked up at Ye Ling. Her small body was also covered in bloodstains. She hadn't been at ease during the struggle with the wolf demon earlier. The previous injuries were showing signs of recurrence, but she suppressed them and continued to pursue the enemy.

He didn't say anything, and together with Li Qingjun, they attacked with their spears and staff, soaring into the sky.

At the same time, arrows rained down in the courtyard.

The eagle screeched through the sky, and feathers fell like rain.

...

Qin Yi kicked the bodies of the eagle and wolf demons and said in a low voice, "That was close."

Li Qingjun happily pulled him, "You came back just in time. If it weren't for your staff, I would have almost been captured."

"Do you realize how weak you are now? Are you still daring to be reckless? I told you to stay in the formation, but you insisted on showing off." Although Qin Yi was reproaching her, his expression didn't show any blame. Instead, he gently wiped away the bloodstains from the corner of her mouth and continued in a low voice, "Anyway... as long as you're okay."

The two embraced and kissed each other. Ye Ling, covered in dirt and bloodstains, squatted in the corner against the wall, motionless.

"By the way," Qin Yi gasped for breath and separated from Li Qingjun slightly, asking, "How did your brother's jade pendant end up with you? It really came in handy today."

"My brother said that he had already considered that others would come after him, so he gave it to me instead. No one would have guessed it would be on me. It really lived up to his expectations and proved its usefulness."

Suddenly, Qin Yi remembered Li Qinglin's words from before, "A flower made of silk is still beautiful and not easily withered."

He attacked the enemy's camp without even bringing something to save his own life, instead giving it to his sister.

Regardless of whether he was confident, had a sense of kinship, or felt that Nanli needed Li Qingjun as a spark, no matter what, he had fulfilled his words flawlessly.

A soldier hurriedly approached and said loudly, "The Crown Prince requests Mr. Qin to go to Changsheng Temple for assistance."

Li Qingjun also wanted to go, but Qin Yi held her back and said, "You're seriously injured. Stay here with Ye Ling to recuperate and don't wander around. I'll go take a look."

After hesitating for a moment, Li Qingjun knew that if she went now, she would only be a burden. She took off the jade pendant and handed it to him, saying, "Take the jade pendant with you. Donghua Zi has been managing it for many years, who knows what strange things might happen."

Qin Yi took the jade pendant and turned to look. The raging fire at Changsheng Temple was still burning. He took a deep breath, resolving to fulfill his obsession today.
