The sky was covered with dark clouds and there was lightning and thunder.

Lin Yuan sat cross-legged at the edge of the barrier, his spiritual energy flowing. He was about to advance to the Golden Core stage.

Gu Yi was also a little nervous at this time. When he came through the book, he had a system, so he did not experience any thunder tribulations during his cultivation and was promoted directly.

The two of them had been practicing in this cave for a whole year, and just now, Lin Yuan finally showed signs of a breakthrough.

As the first bolt of lightning struck, the dazzling light illuminated the entire sky. Lin Yuan mobilized the spiritual power in his body and resisted with all his might.

Thunder and lightning continued to strike him like an angry dragon, and Gu Yi frowned slightly.

Lin Yuan was supposed to take another year to break through the Golden Elixir stage and come out.

Now it's a year early.

Now that Lin Yuan has successfully advanced to the Golden Core stage, he can immediately take advantage of his opportunity to go out again.

The premise is that Lin Yuan doesn't kill him before going out.

Gu Yi stood behind Lin Yuan, looking up at the thunder in the sky. Every bolt of lightning seemed to be about to shatter Lin Yuan.

boom--

The first thunderbolt struck, and the entire barrier trembled.

With a click, a crack appeared in the barrier.

Gu Yi's eyes lit up. What a good opportunity.

There was no need for Lin Yuan to advance successfully to break the barrier, as he was directly struck by the thunder!

While Lin Yuan is currently in the process of reaching the Golden Core stage and unable to move, isn’t this the best time for him to escape?

Thinking of this, Gu Yi moved to the edge of the barrier, waiting for the second thunder to fall.

boom--

Another bolt of lightning struck, and just like before, the barrier was shattered. Gu Yi flashed outside the barrier and ran away.

There are only seven tribulation thunders required for advancement to the Golden Core stage. Two have already struck, and there are five left, which should be enough for him to escape from Lin Yuan.

Lin Yuan, who had been concentrating on dealing with the thunderbolt, suddenly lost the sense of Gu Yi's presence. He frowned, flipped his hand, and a black-gold longsword appeared in his hand: "Gu Yi!"

boom--

The third thunderbolt fell, and he held his sword across his body. He stood up, but because he couldn't see, he could only devote part of his energy to feeling.

He could no longer sense the barrier, nor could he sense Gu Yi.

He ran away!

boom--

The fourth thunderbolt struck, more intense than the previous three. Lin Yuan's mind was unstable, and he suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, then fell to his knees on the ground with a plop: "Gu Yi... why did you..."

Leaving him here alone...

When Gu Yi was halfway through his run, he looked up at the thunder in the sky, which was rumbling down, and suddenly felt a little sorry for it.

At least he helped me. If it weren't for him, I would be dead.

But he is a villain boss. If he goes back now, he might kill himself with one sword.

But he is not a big villain yet, just a little blind man. It is not a good idea to leave him here alone.

Why bother with him? Have you forgotten how he treated you during this year here?

But without you, he would have been able to get out in two years at most. On the contrary, you could not have gotten out without him. Now that you are alive and have been released, you just leave him all alone. You are such a scumbag!

If it really doesn't work, then go back and look at him from a distance, wait for him to successfully overcome the tribulation and then run away, then part ways with him and never see him again!

Gu Yi's heart was pounding, but he finally gritted his teeth and ran back: "Lin Yuan, I'm not worried about you, I'm just kind-hearted. After all, you are disabled."

He has always cared for the elderly, the weak and the sick.

When he ran back, it happened to be the last thunder tribulation.

At this time, Lin Yuan supported his body with a sword, half-kneeling on the ground, blood flowing from the corners of his mouth, and his originally clean and tidy hair was also chopped into a little messy.

He couldn't see in the first place, and at this moment he couldn't see how terrifying the thunder condensing in the sky was.

Gu Yi had never seen Lin Yuan in such a state of disarray, and an indescribable sense of oppression welled up in his heart. Lin Yuan struggled to stand, trembling. Surprisingly, his first reaction wasn't to use his spiritual power to resist the thunderbolt. Instead, he whispered two words: "Gu... Yi..."

Gu Yi saw his lips clearly, and her heart was shocked. He was looking for her... Why was he looking for her at this moment? Shouldn't he be giving his all to deal with the thunder?

As the last bolt of lightning crashed down, Gu Yi looked up at the lightning and finally couldn't help but curse inwardly: "I look like a retard..."

Then, he gathered all the spiritual power in his body without hesitation, and appeared in front of Lin Yuan in a flash, and endured the fatal blow with his physical body.

The thunder and lightning dissipated and the sky cleared.

Lin Yuan's body was shining, and the powerful aura of the golden elixir emanated.

He successfully advanced to the Golden Core Stage.

After all, Gu Yi is only at the foundation-building stage now, and it was very strenuous for him to help Lin Yuan with this final blow. Fortunately, Lin Yuan himself also took most of it.

He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and turned around to find that Lin Yuan had fainted on the ground due to exhaustion.

"Lin Yuan? Lin Yuan?" Gu Yi quickly squatted down, picked up Lin Yuan, and checked his body.

The spiritual power penetrated into Lin Yuan's body, and a small golden ball floated quietly. Perhaps because the two had practiced together for a whole year, their spiritual powers were familiar with each other. The small ball exuded a favorable impression towards Gu Yi, flashing.

But Gu Yi took a quick look and did not find any trace of black air faintly entwined with the golden elixir.

Gu Yi quickly withdrew his spiritual power: "Little Immortal Lord, I have been promoted, everything is fine." He breathed a long sigh of relief.

He carefully carried Lin Yuan into a cave, used a cleansing spell, and then sat beside him and stared at his face for a long time.

It’s no wonder that he was attracted by Lin Yuan’s beauty at first. Lin Yuan’s appearance seemed to be perfect for his aesthetic taste.

Lin Yuan has very long eyelashes and beautiful eyes, but unfortunately all Gu Yi saw was his lifeless eyes.

The original book describes that despite his hard efforts, he was ultimately unable to heal his eyes, so he had to tie a silk ribbon to protect his eyes all year round.

Moreover, he eventually died at the hands of the male protagonist. He was still young when he died, seemingly less than 30 years old.

Gu Yi gently stretched out her hand, gently stroked Lin Yuan's cheek, and whispered, "You are only twenty years old this year." Her eyes were full of heartache.

Think about it, he was trapped in the barrier for four whole years, and once he walked out of the barrier, he would only have a few short years left to live.

By this calculation, his life can be said to be extremely miserable.

After all, I have been with Lin Yuan day and night for a year. Even if I raise a dog, I will have feelings for him, let alone a human being.

I don't want him to die, and I don't want to owe him anything.

But if I stay, and he wakes up, I won't be able to leave.

He is the Demon Lord, the recognized devil by the righteous.

If you stay, you will definitely die.

"Alas... Little Immortal Lord, since you extended my life, I will help you one last time. From now on, we are truly even. Don't come looking for me, and I will keep your secret."

Gu Yi looked at Lin Yuan's sleeping face and twitched the corner of his mouth slightly:

"Little Immortal Lord, you must forget me!"

His fingers gently stroked Lin Yuan's face, as if he wanted to engrave this face deep in his memory.
