Ten minutes later, a meteor fell from the sky and landed on an extremely empty grassland that had already been heavily guarded.
There was no one within a few hundred meters.
Occasionally, a few military drones flew by, but they stayed far away and did not dare to get close.
On the way, Gu Lingqing had already passed on the technique of tempering the body with thunder tribulation to Ye Lin. At this time, Ye Lin was still seriously comprehending it. After Gu Lingqing kept some distance from him, he took out his mobile phone and made a call.
The next moment, a red dedicated phone in a study in a large courtyard rang.
An old man with white hair and wearing a Zhongshan suit answered the phone and heard a slightly low voice slowly say:
"I can only tell you that, barring any unforeseen circumstances, a magnitude 8.5 earthquake will soon strike a certain area of Ganqing Province. Conservative estimates suggest over 200,000 people will die, over 300,000 will be injured, five cities will be destroyed, and dozens of counties will suffer severe damage."
When the old man heard this, his pupils shrank instantly.
A magnitude 8.5 earthquake! ?
Two hundred thousand deaths!?
More than 300,000 people injured?
This is simply a disaster of utmost magnitude!
Just as the old man was thinking, before he could even open his mouth to speak, he heard a sudden "crack" of thunder from the other end of the phone!
Then, there was another earth-shaking sound!
“Crack!”
“Crack!”
"Uh, hang up, I need to survive first."
The rumbling thunders came one after another, crisp and loud. The old man didn't even hear Gu Lingqing's last sentence clearly. There was only a "buzzing" sound on the phone.
On this side, Ye Lin had just finished comprehending the technique of tempering the body through thunder tribulation. When he opened his eyes, he saw a thick bolt of lightning suddenly falling from the sky and striking Gu Lingqing fiercely.
He hurried over there, his thick sword-like eyebrows furrowed tightly, and a look of pity appeared in his eyes, which were usually calm.
"Don't come over yet." Seeing Ye Lin coming, Gu Lingqing looked into his eyes and stopped him.
Ye Lin paused, pursed his lips, and did not take another step forward.
But those dark and deep eyes became even deeper.
Gu Lingqing looked at the scrapped mobile phone that was struck by lightning, crushed it into powder, and then began to practice his skills, transforming the energy full of destructive qi in his body into mild and usable Yuanli, strengthening his limbs and internal organs.
Last time, the thunder tribulation took a while to brew before it fell, but this time, it didn't even brew for a while, and it struck down directly on the head.
The already dark sky became even darker at this moment, with dark clouds covering the sky, filled with a terrifying and heart-pounding atmosphere.
On the grassland under the calamity cloud, the originally lush green vegetation was instantly charred by a few lightning strikes.
“Crack!”
“Crack!”
One after another, the heavenly thunder still struck down with the aura of destroying the world!
The cells in Gu Lingqing's body were constantly being torn apart and then reorganized and regenerated.
The pain of tearing it apart was immense, but the comfort and satisfaction of rebuilding it made her feel both pain and happiness.
Looking at Gu Lingqing's skin being bloody and mangled by the thunder, looking at her clothes being stained red by blood, looking at the scene where she was surrounded by one aura of destruction after another, Ye Lin frowned even deeper, and an uncontrollable heartache and impulse surged in his heart. He wanted to rush over to protect her immediately.
Looking at this extremely tragic scene, Ye Lin couldn't help but recall what Gu Lingqing said to him a few days ago.
"In this world, the law of the jungle is even more cruel and ruthless than you and I can imagine."
"Even if a person with extraordinary talent unites a million cultivators, they may not be able to withstand the crushing force of a finger as heavy as a mountain falling from the sky."
"It's a cruel world where the strong are respected, there are clear hierarchies, and there's no regard for life and death."
At this moment, he fully experienced what cruelty was.
Just wanting to become stronger requires a huge price to pay.
Seeing that his body's strength had reached saturation and could not be strengthened much further, Gu Lingqing looked at Ye Lin and said, "Get ready, it's your turn."
Ye Lin nodded and walked towards her with a serious expression.
A soft light flashed across Gu Lingqing's body. Not only did all her wounds heal, but her skin also became more delicate and lustrous.
Ye Lin finally felt relieved when he saw that she was fine.
A magical sword appeared out of thin air in Gu Lingqing's palm. She handed it to Ye Lin and said, "I'll make a breakthrough. If you can't hold on any longer, you can use this sword to disperse the lightning tribulation."
"Okay." Ye Lin took the magic sword, put on a guarding posture, looked up and stared at the hellish scene of heaven and earth, the aura around him suddenly became solemn and firm.
Seeing that there was no fear in his eyes and that he seemed to be determined to fight against the thunder tribulation, Gu Lingqing smiled with satisfaction, sat cross-legged on the ground, and prepared to break through.
The deepest silence!
Filling the entire space.
In the distance, several drones were trembling as they captured all the strange sights here.
At this moment, all of China's top officials were watching in front of the screen, with expressions of shock, tension and solemnity on their faces.
“This is outrageous!”
"This is much bigger than the last time!"
"This shows that the secret Major General Gu revealed this time was truly enormous. Did you notice? The moment she finished her phone call with the Director, the thunderbolts rained down instantly. There wasn't even time for them to brew! Those terrifying thunderbolts, one after another, fell with the intention of striking her to death!"
