Whoosh—
In an instant, the Saintess felt the world spin around her.
When she came to her senses again, the scene before her had already changed.
It was still the Church's main cathedral, but the fighting and bloodshed were gone. Everything had become clean and orderly.
Everyone else had vanished as well, leaving a hint of confusion in her eyes.
But when she saw Xu Shi standing before her, she immediately realized what had happened.
"Is this... your ability?"
The Saintess frowned.
Xu Shi did not answer. Instead, he instinctively dry-heaved.
Blegh.
The aftereffects were a little intense.
This was obviously a side effect of Su Lin teleporting him—he had discussed it with the real First Wife before and learned that after breaking through to S-rank, she could teleport with others.
And she and Xu Shi naturally understood each other without words. The instant she saw the Saintess unleash her ultimate move, she knew what had to be done next.
They had to pull her away for a one-on-one fight this way. Otherwise, they would probably all be wiped out.
Or rather, the earlier battle had been laying the groundwork for this very moment.
Pulling someone into a solo fight in the mental realm was not an infallible tactic. At the very least, the strength of one's mental power was an important factor.
The simplest example was that if Xu Shi wanted to use "Liminal Space" on a psychic powerhouse like Xia Ke'an, there was a ninety percent chance he would fail—his mental power might be at the formidable S-rank, but that old auntie was SS-rank and could truly overpower him.
Unless she was willing, it would probably backfire. Even if he somehow succeeded, the result would not be very good.
And the Saintess before him was clearly no ordinary
