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

Although Yang Ling was not completely sure, he could clearly feel the uneasy atmosphere coming from the egg, which made him alert. To be on the safe side, he planned to discard the egg.

Qin Mingyu nodded upon hearing this, and without saying anything more, he stretched out his hand to throw the magic egg aside. However, at the moment when he let go, an unimaginable suction force suddenly erupted, and the magic egg was like a wild horse that had broken free from its reins, frantically devouring the energy in Qin Mingyu's palm.

"Not good!" Qin Mingyu's face suddenly changed. He wanted to pull his hand back, but it was too late.

The magic egg released a tremendous suction force, sticking tightly to his palm, like a root, unable to break free.

The suction became stronger and stronger, as if it was going to swallow up the entire cave.

Qin Mingyu only felt a huge force pulling at his body. He tried his best to resist but still couldn't get rid of it.

boom!
Finally, under the pulling force, Qin Mingyu's knees softened and he fell to the ground.

But the magic egg did not stop and continued to absorb his energy madly.

Qin Mingyu's palm quickly shrank and became withered. Almost in the blink of an eye, it turned into skin and bones, like a skeleton.

"Ah--" Qin Mingyu cried out in pain, but was unable to struggle and could only watch his palm being swallowed by the magic egg.

At this moment of life and death, a crisp "click" sound was suddenly heard.

Then, a deafening noise was heard in the distance, as if something was awakening deep in the cave.

Yang Ling and Qin Mingyu quickly turned their heads to look, and saw an even more violent aura rising into the sky from the depths of the cave, accompanied by a deafening roar.

Then, a demon shadow as tall as a hundred meters rose slowly from the ground, emitting three completely different energy fluctuations: cold, fierce, and bloodthirsty. They intertwined together and made people feel terrified.

"This..." Even a knowledgeable and experienced expert like Yang Ling couldn't help but gasp and was extremely shocked.

He knew very well that this demon shadow was definitely the most powerful enemy he had ever encountered in his life.

Feeling this powerful sense of oppression, Yang Ling couldn't help but tighten the sword in his hand, with a determined light flashing in his eyes.

He knew that a fierce battle was about to begin.

Boom! As soon as the hundred-meter-tall demon shadow appeared, it waved its sharp claws and slapped Yang Ling fiercely.

Yang Ling only felt a terrifying force rushing towards him. He tried his best to resist, but was still shocked by this force and vomited blood, and flew backwards.

However, Yang Ling was a veteran after all. He took advantage of the momentum of retreating and leaped up. With a flick of his wrist, a long sword shining with silver light flew towards the demon shadow like lightning.

“Kill!” Yang Ling shouted, and the long sword, with unparalleled murderous intent and sharpness, stabbed towards the demon shadow as fast as thunder.

The demon stretched out a giant palm, trying to block the blow. However, the giant palm trembled slightly under the sharp edge of the long sword, as if it would break at any time.

"Roar!" The demon roared, stretched out his right arm again, and punched Yang Ling.

This punch was so powerful that it seemed to tear the void apart. Yang Ling's heart trembled, and he quickly waved his sword to block it. However, he still underestimated the power of the demon shadow's attack.

Crack! The long sword and the demon's fist collided with each other, making a harsh sound.

Yang Ling felt a huge force coming, and the long sword in his hand was almost shaken away. He realized that something was wrong, and quickly turned around and slashed with his sword, which slashed the demon's chest.

Clang! Sparks flew and clanged, but the long sword did not cause any damage to the demon shadow. Yang Ling's attack was actually just a feint, and he took this opportunity to turn around and escape.

"Roar!" Although Yang Ling's sneak attack failed to cause any substantial damage to the Demon Shadow, it completely enraged it.

The demonic shadow roared wildly, bringing with it rolling waves of sound. The rocks broke into pieces, and dust filled the air, covering the entire cave. Yang Ling, using the sound waves as a cover, instantly disappeared without a trace.

Seeing Yang Ling running away, the demon shadow snorted coldly, and was about to follow his trail when suddenly a bright sword light pierced the sky and slashed its back fiercely.

puff!

This sudden attack caught the Demon Shadow off guard. He was bleeding profusely, his armor shattered, and he was almost cut in half.

The intense pain made the demon shadow extremely angry. It pushed the ground with its legs and its body suddenly rose up, reaching a length of one thousand meters, standing in the underground world like a pillar.

Rumble!
As the demonic shadow moved, the entire valley was shaking violently, as if it was about to collapse.

Obviously, it was determined to track down Yang Ling. But at this moment, Qin Mingyu did not choose to follow the demon shadow.

His eyes were glowing with a faint blue light as he stared intently at the spinning magic egg.

After a moment, Qin Mingyu's mouth curled up into a strange smile. He pinched his fingers with one hand, and his fingertips shone brightly, and he lightly touched the magic egg.

hum!
The magic egg trembled violently, and then slowly floated up and drifted towards the depths of the passage.

This scene made the Demon Shadow both shocked and angry, but it could not give up chasing Yang Ling.

In the end, it could only watch Qin Mingyu leave with the magic egg, while it had to continue searching for Yang Ling.

Whoosh! The magic egg flew extremely fast, and it flew away in just a few breaths.

However, despite the amazing flying speed of the magic egg, it is still slightly inferior to Qin Mingyu.

Therefore, Qin Mingyu quickly caught up with the magic egg and found that the direction it was flying was the path leading to the core of the cave.

Whoosh! Qin Mingyu was delighted when he found this. He rushed into the depths of the passage excitedly.

At the same time, Yang Ling, who received the message from Qin Mingyu, used the teleportation jade talisman without hesitation.

With a flash of light, Yang Ling came to Qin Mingyu's side.

At this time, Qin Mingyu had successfully followed the magic egg to the core area of ​​the cave.

I saw that the core of this cave was an independent space, surrounded by clouds and mist, and shining fairy light, just like a fairyland on earth.

However, in this fairy-like scene, the most eye-catching thing is the five crystal clear white crystals suspended in the air.

Each of them is as dazzling as a gem, emitting a soft light.

Especially the giant white crystal in the north is particularly eye-catching, and the spiritual energy it exudes is powerful and pure.

"What a powerful spiritual power fluctuation!" Qin Mingyu's pupils shrank, and he was extremely shocked. He only took a glance and could feel the extremely rich spiritual power contained in the white crystal. There were even faint spiritual patterns condensed, emitting an inexplicable pressure.

This spiritual power was so strong that even from a distance, Qin Mingyu felt a little breathless. He knew that as long as he could take this crystal, he would gain unimaginable cultivation resources and his strength would also make a qualitative leap.

However, Yang Ling found something unusual around these five white crystals. He said in a deep voice: "These white crystals are surrounded by inscription traps. Once triggered, the consequences will be disastrous."

Hearing this, Qin Mingyu touched his nose and looked strange.

Since they have come here, they naturally cannot return empty-handed. Moreover, if they retreat now, not only will all their efforts be wasted, but they will also be subjected to the crazy revenge of the Demon Shadow.

"Let's fight! I don't care about the inscription traps, I'm going to force my way through them today!" Yang Ling said with gritted teeth. Although he knew how terrible these inscription traps were, he still had a glimmer of hope in his heart and wanted to give it a try.

After the two men finished their discussion, they began to use their own methods.

Qin Mingyu burst out with all his strength and his speed was as fast as lightning. He could travel several feet with just one step.

However, the inscription trap composed of five white crystals was too large and complicated. If one took a wrong step, it would trigger the attack of the other four crystals. Therefore, although Qin Mingyu was extremely anxious, he did not dare to approach easily.

"Damn it!" Qin Mingyu frowned even more tightly as he looked at the inscription trap in front of him.

But the more this happened, the stronger his desire became. He knew very well that as long as he could break through these traps, the five white crystals would be his.

Seeing Qin Mingyu's failure, Yang Ling began to think of a countermeasure. His eyes flickered, and suddenly an idea came to his mind. He first raised the long sword in his hand high, and then threw it violently, and the long sword shot towards the huge white crystal like a flash of lightning.

However, just as the sword was about to touch the crystal, a black halo suddenly lit up on the surface of the huge crystal. Ding! A fine and melodious collision sound was heard, and the sword was actually blocked by the black halo.

The long sword suddenly trembled in the air and then bounced away.

Yang Ling did not seem flustered. His eyes were determined, and he quickly adjusted his posture and launched another fierce attack.

His movements were as smooth as flowing water, without any hesitation. Under the fierce attack of his sword, the protective circle gradually became shaky.

Finally, after a violent collision, the protective circle completely collapsed, turning into specks of fluorescent light and dissipating between the vast sky and earth.

However, at the moment when the crisis seemed to be resolved, a strong sense of uneasiness suddenly surged into the hearts of Yang Ling and Qin Mingyu.

Yang Ling's expression suddenly changed. He clearly sensed the familiar and frightening aura of the devil, which was rapidly approaching their location.

Boom!

Two dull sounds, accompanied by two strong gusts of wind, hit them fiercely.

Yang Ling looked up and saw a ferocious and terrifying claw that had already crushed the hard mountain wall and was coming towards them at an alarming speed.

"This is a damn situation!"

Yang Ling cursed in his heart, feeling helpless and angry.

But he had no time to think at this moment. He quickly mobilized the true energy in his body and continuously infused it into the sword in his hand.

In an instant, a brilliant bronze light burst out from the sword, like lightning cutting through the night sky.

"Break it for me!"

Yang Ling shouted loudly and swung his sword violently, colliding with the devil's claw.

However, at that critical moment, Qin Mingyu also moved. He leaped up like a tiger descending from a mountain and punched the devil's claw hard.

Boom!

There was a deafening bang, and a visible ripple spread out with them as the center.

Seeing this, Yang Ling knew that he could not retreat at this moment. He was about to make another effort when he suddenly heard a loud explosion.

Immediately afterwards, a dazzling fireball rose into the sky and instantly engulfed the entire space.

Ah! The sudden change startled Yang Ling and Qin Mingyu. They quickly circulated their true energy to protect themselves.

As the fireball was burning fiercely, the demon shadow let out a shrill wail, with its fangs bared, as if trying to escape from the horrific flames.

However, the power of the flame was too strong. It directly burned the void and completely enveloped the demonic shadow.

When the smoke and dust gradually dissipated, the originally menacing demon shadow had disappeared, leaving only a thumb-sized bead lying quietly on the ground.

"Haha, this demon shadow was actually blown to death!" Qin Mingyu walked forward with a big laugh and picked up the bead.

Yang Ling let out a long breath and sat down on the ground with his body limp. He was so nervous just now that he felt his heart beating like a drum, almost jumping out of his chest.

However, just as Qin Mingyu was playing with the beads in his hand, the beads suddenly seemed to come to life and flew directly out of his hand.

Then, under the gaze of Yang Ling and Qin Mingyu, the bead actually merged into the magic egg not far away.

The magic egg that was fused with the beads instantly burst into dazzling light, like a shining gem.

Click!

A slight cracking sound was heard, and a crack slowly appeared on the magic egg.

Immediately afterwards, a torrent of energy and blood gushed out from the magic egg, like a volcanic eruption, fierce and surging, with terrifying momentum.

Roar!
Along with the gushing of qi and blood, a beast-like roar resounded through the sky, making people terrified.

Swish!
The next moment, a dark figure slowly crawled out of the magic egg.

It turned out to be a dragon covered in scales and scars! It howled to the sky, its eyes filled with endless hatred and anger.

"Dragon!" Qin Mingyu widened his eyes and looked at the scene in disbelief.

The Jiaolong is a powerful creature in the legend!
He never expected that such a powerful being would be suppressed here and refined into a demon egg. This is simply a waste of natural resources!
"Hmph!" Yang Ling snorted coldly, a hint of determination flashing in his eyes.

He suddenly kicked the ground with his right foot, and his whole body shot towards the dragon like a cannonball.

Clang!
The long sword was swung and slashed at the dragon's body, but it only splashed a few sparks and failed to even cut its scales.

"How is this possible?" Yang Ling was horrified. His sword was extremely sharp, but he didn't expect it to be so vulnerable in front of the dragon.

Ouch!

The dragon roared angrily, and immediately stirred up a foul-smelling tornado that blew Yang Ling and Qin Mingyu all over the place.

Yang Ling had no choice but to hold his sword in front of him, barely holding off the raging storm.

Boom!
A startling muffled sound rang in the ears of the two men, and cracks appeared on the long sword in Yang Ling's hand and expanded rapidly.

puff!

Finally, the sword could not withstand the huge force and broke into pieces. (End of this chapter)
