Daqin arrests alchemists, what does it matter to me as a qi refiner?

After a while, the green energy was finally exhausted. However, Rong'er's face turned pale again.

She frowned and shouted to Yang Ling and the green-clothed youth, "Hurry! I feel my baby is about to be born!"

Hearing Rong'er's words, they both looked at her in surprise.

Although they had expected this, they couldn't help but feel pity and helplessness when they saw Rong'er's pale face.

At this moment, a muffled thunder suddenly sounded in the sky outside the Nether Cave.

The roar of thunder seemed to indicate that something big was about to happen.

Yang Ling and the young man in green couldn't help but look up outside the Nether Cave.

And at this moment, Rong'er's belly suddenly swelled up.

With the sound of thunder, a delicate baby slowly crawled out of Rong'er's belly. The baby had just been born, and his eyes had not yet opened, but he was shrouded in a thick layer of evil spirit. He was extremely strong, and although his face was still childish, he had already demonstrated an extraordinary aura.

Seeing this scene, the young man in green shouted excitedly: "Haha! Rong'er, you are so amazing! You actually gave birth to a big fat boy for me! I must raise him to be fat and white!" He held the child in his arms, a happy smile on his face.

However, Yang Ling frowned slightly. Although he was happy for Rong'er, he was more worried about her physical condition. He walked to Rong'er's side, gently lifted her up, and let her lean on his shoulder.

Then, he closed his eyes slightly, activated the internal skills in his body, and began to treat Rong'er's body.

Seeing this scene, the young man in green hurriedly came to Rong'er with the child in his arms.

However, at this moment, the thunder outside the Nether Cave became even louder.

The entire Netherworld Cave began to shake as if it would collapse at any time.

The young man in green realized that something was wrong, and he quickly placed the child in a safe place.

Then, he glanced at Yang Ling who was treating Rong'er's injuries, took a deep breath, and walked out of the Nether Cave resolutely.

He knew that he had to face the coming calamity.

Feeling the green-clothed youth leave, the exhausted Rong'er slowly opened her eyes. She looked at Yang Ling who was healing her wounds, her heart filled with gratitude and guilt.

She knew that her union with Sha was against the laws of nature, but they truly loved each other, and she didn't want to put Sha in danger because of her.

So, she spoke to Yang Ling with difficulty: "Master... I know that my union with Sha is against the will of heaven... but we are sincere... please help him... His strength is now reduced by half... He will definitely not be able to withstand the thunder..." Her voice was weak and trembling, but every word was filled with deep affection for Sha and pleading with Yang Ling.

Seeing Rong'er's pleading eyes, Yang Ling's heart softened. Although he had fought a life-and-death battle with the green-clothed youth, he also knew the depth of Rong'er's feelings for Sha.

He couldn't refuse Rong'er's request, nor could he watch her fall into pain.

So, he gently held the child to Rong'er and said softly, "Okay... you can rest assured... I'll go out and take a look..."

After saying that, he patted Rong'er's shoulder to comfort her, then turned and walked out of the Nether Cave.

When he arrived outside the Netherworld Cave, Yang Ling saw the young man in green clothes covered in blood.

The corpse puppets he originally commanded were now scattered all over the place, with lightning flashing on their bodies. They no longer had the might they had when facing Yang Ling before.

Obviously, they were also affected by the heavenly calamity and became weak.

Seeing this scene, Yang Ling's heart tightened. He quickly took out his sword and walked quickly to the side of the young man in green.

However, just as he approached, the thunder and lightning in the sky suddenly became more violent.

As if they sensed the invasion of foreign enemies, they began to attack frantically.

"boom!"

There was a deafening roar, and Yang Ling felt that the ground under his feet suddenly exploded, revealing a huge deep pit.

He quickly held the sword across his chest and summoned a protective spiritual weapon to resist the overwhelming lightning attack.

Even so, he still felt a burning pain in his chest, but he was glad that he was not seriously injured.

The young man in green was extremely surprised and shocked to see that Yang Ling actually chose to come out to help him resist the heavenly calamity at this time.

In his opinion, it was good enough that Yang Ling did not take advantage of the situation to deal with him.

However, at this moment, Yang Ling not only did not choose to add insult to injury, but instead stood up to help himself without hesitation.

This friendship and courage made him feel warm and respectful.

As a result, the guilt in the green-clothed young man's heart became heavier, as if it was suffocating him.

However, Yang Ling had no time to care about his feelings at this moment. His eyes were fixed on the rolling dark clouds in the sky, his face was as solemn as iron, and he knew in his heart that this heavenly punishment would never end easily.

"Crack!" Accompanied by a deafening thunder, another bolt of lightning fell like a giant dragon.

This time, the young man in green jumped up without waiting for the lightning snake to get close, swung his sword at the thunder dragon, and killed it directly to the ground.

However, although his action was heroic, he looked quite embarrassed and staggered.

At this critical moment, another thunder dragon slithered down, aiming directly at the young man in green.

Yang Ling was quick-witted and moved to the side of the young man in green in an instant, blocking the fatal blow for him.

When the thunder dragon gradually dissipated, the young man in green looked at Yang Ling gratefully, his voice trembling a little: "Brother, thank you for your help."

Hearing this, Yang Ling just smiled faintly, with a hint of indifference in his tone: "Don't be polite, you are Rong'er's husband, this is what I should do."

After saying that, he looked up at the sky again, only to see dark clouds covering the entire valley in complete darkness.

In this pitch-dark environment, Yang Ling frowned, his heart filled with worry.

He knew very well that if the divine punishment continued, he and the young man in green would not be able to hold on.

At this moment, the thunder that had been brewing in the sky for a long time finally poured down. This time, four thunder pythons fell at the same time, like four roaring dragons, carrying the power to destroy the world.

Seeing this scene, Yang Ling's pupils shrank suddenly. He realized that the intensity of this heavenly tribulation was far beyond his expectations.

If we don't make adequate preparations, we will be in danger today. However, facing this terrifying thunderbolt, Yang Ling did not retreat. He held the long sword in his hand and stood proudly between heaven and earth. The young man in green also knew the danger at the moment. He stood beside Yang Ling, ready for battle. The two fought side by side and faced this disaster together.

In an instant, the two thunder pythons were in front of him. With a loud "bang", the green-clothed young man swung the long sword in his hand, drawing a dazzling sword light, and collided with the thunder python. In just a moment, the thunder python was chopped into pieces and dissipated into nothingness.

However, the thunderstorm did not stop there, but became more violent.

After a while, thunder gathered in the sky again. After a few breaths, four thunder pythons surged in again, rushing towards the young man in green like four giant dragons.

Seeing this, Yang Ling drew his sword without hesitation, and a dazzling light shone from his whole body.

What was even more surprising was that a set of golden armor suddenly appeared on his body, as if the god of war had descended.

Although all these changes seem to take a long time, they actually happen in the blink of an eye.

When Yang Ling rushed to the green-clothed youth, they both attacked at the same time, their long swords and long knives intertwined into an impenetrable sword net.

In an instant, they joined forces to resolve the attack of the four thunder pythons. However, in this fierce battle, Yang Ling's knuckles were also cracked and blood flowed.

He quickly took out the healing pill and swallowed it, and he was able to quickly recover his fighting power.

At this moment, the green-clothed youth suddenly shouted, as if he had made some kind of decision. He pounced on the thunder python again, the long sword in his hand dancing like flying, entangled with the thunder snake.

Seeing this, Yang Ling dared not neglect it. He took a deep breath and threw himself into the battle again. The two weapons collided with each other, making a crisp sound, and ripples spread around them.

After dozens of fierce battles, the green-clothed youth finally knocked a lightning snake away with the long sword in his hand. However, he also paid a heavy price. His right arm was hit by the lightning snake and was burnt, and even the white bones were vaguely visible.

Despite this, the young man in green still had no intention of retreating. He gritted his teeth and continued to fight with the lightning snake with the long sword tightly.

There was another fierce collision, and the young man in green was knocked back hundreds of meters before falling to the ground.

The blood from the corner of his mouth stained his clothes red, but his eyes remained as firm as before, as if no force could make him surrender.

On the other hand, although Yang Ling was also fighting hard, the true energy in his body was being consumed rapidly.

If this continues, it won't be long before he runs out of energy.

At this moment, the sound of thunder rang out in the sky again.

Yang Ling looked up and saw the dark sky filled with silver thunderclouds. Each thunder python contained a terrifying pressure, as if it was going to swallow up the entire valley.

Seeing this scene, Yang Ling frowned even more tightly, he knew very well that the next battle would be even more difficult.

As expected, just as the young man in green stabilized his body, the dark clouds in the sky began to shake again, and another thunder python surged out.

The power of this thunder tribulation was obviously more violent than the previous ones, and the eyes of the young man in green became more solemn.

Yang Ling's heart was filled with anxiety. He had never encountered such a dangerous scene.

If the young man in green really died in the thunder tribulation, how would he explain to Rong'er?

Thinking of Rong'er's gentle smile and expectant eyes, Yang Ling couldn't help but feel helpless and self-blame. He secretly cursed himself for always being so nosy, but he had to admit that he could no longer stay out of it.

At this moment, a hint of determination flashed in the eyes of the young man in green, as if he had made some important decision.

He suddenly looked up at the sky and shouted angrily: "Ang!"

As the voice fell, he stood up again, waving the long sword in his hand, looking at the sky with red eyes, as if he was going to fight for his life with the sky.

Seeing this scene, Yang Ling couldn't help but feel inexplicably moved. He knew that the young man in green was risking his life for Rong'er and their child.

In order to prevent Rong'er from being sad, Yang Ling also risked his life. He exerted force with his legs, and his feet made two deep holes in the ground, and then he jumped to the side of the young man in green. Then he protected the young man in green behind him and said in a deep voice: "You step back! Leave this to me!"

Hearing Yang Ling's words, the young man in green was slightly stunned, then shook his head and said firmly: "I won't leave! I can't let you face all this alone!" There was a stubborn light flashing in his eyes.

"If you die here, Rong'er will be so sad!" Yang Ling persuaded anxiously, "and your children have just been born, can you really bear to abandon them?" After saying that, he no longer hesitated, and directly reached out and grabbed the green-clothed young man's arm and threw him into the Nether Cave.

Yang Ling then quickly contacted the system for help.

The system quickly selected a suitable item for him. However, when Yang Ling saw the item, he couldn't help but smile bitterly: "System, are you sure you didn't choose the wrong one? Is this really useful?"

Facing Yang Ling's questioning, the system refuted without hesitation: "Host, this is the most suitable item for you right now. Other items cannot help you survive this thunder tribulation."

Upon hearing this, Yang Ling looked at the props in his hand with a bitter face and mixed feelings.

This prop is called "lightning rod" but it is not the traditional kind that is inserted into the ground. Instead, it needs to be held in his hand to use.

What made him even more entangled was that the lightning rod also came with a set of exercises. He quickly browsed through the contents of the exercises and felt both surprised and worried.

However, the thunderclouds in the sky surged again at this time, and he had no time to hesitate. Yang Ling gritted his teeth and decided to use the lightning rod given by the system.

As he urged it, the lightning rod instantly turned into a ball of liquid and flowed down his arm into his body.

Then streams of warm currents flowed down his arms, throughout his body, and finally gathered in his sea of ​​consciousness.

"Bang!" The deafening thunder sounded in the sky again, and the whole space seemed to tremble.

However, Yang Ling's eyes showed excitement. A new thunderbolt fell and struck him directly.

The tingling sensation almost made him cry out. However, at the reminder of the system, he quickly activated the skills carried by the lightning rod.

As the technique was put into practice, the power of thunder and lightning was gradually transformed into body-tempering energy.

Feeling this change, Yang Ling was overjoyed. He knew that he might be able to overcome this difficulty this time.

So, he quietly waited for the end of the thunder tribulation, while also constantly absorbing the power of the thunder tribulation to strengthen his body.

As time went by, the power of the heavenly calamity gradually weakened.

After two or three incense sticks of time had passed, the dark clouds in the sky finally began to dissipate, revealing the long-lost sunshine.

Seeing this scene, Yang Ling couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, his heart filled with gratitude for surviving the disaster.

At this time, the green-clothed youth helped Rong'er slowly walk out of the Netherworld Cave, their faces filled with the joy of rebirth after a calamity. (End of this chapter)
