Lord of Bones

Chapter 595: Taking advantage of the opportunity
Powerful and violent black mist energy spurted out from the mouth of the Shadow Demon Winged Centipede, shrouded it, and approached the merchant ship.

The power contained in it is enough to easily tear apart a king-level expert.

The weaker Yuan Zhe on the merchant boat felt the pressure of the black mist wind, and his blood suddenly surged, and his body seemed to be torn apart by this force.

They groaned in pain, had splitting headaches, and their bodies rolled uncontrollably on the ground, wailing one after another.

Lu Zhi stood at the head of the boat, looked at the shadow demon-winged centipede in the sky, and shouted: "Everyone, follow me to kill this giant centipede!"

He raised his palm, and a square object glowing with white light slowly floated out of his hand.

"Yunjing Wuliangpa!"

Lu Zhi shouted loudly, and the energy in his body surged out like a flood, pouring into the square object glowing with white light.

The square thing suddenly surged and turned into a white barrier, facing the falling black mist energy.

At the same time, the half-step pattern realm experts from the other four major families took action, pouring a steady stream of elemental power into the white barrier.

With the continuous influx of Yuan Power, the white barrier became thicker and thicker, forming an indestructible defensive cover in the sky.

The moment the black mist energy and the defensive shield collided in the sky, the entire sky became silent.

The surrounding space became blurred and distorted, and the two forces of white and black were stalemate in the air.

"Bam—"

A moment later, loud noises were heard, and terrifying energy ripples shook away from the collision.

Those weaker Yuan beings were in great pain under the impact of this energy. They fell to the ground, held their heads in their hands, and screamed in agony.

"High-grade earth treasure... It's a pity that your cultivation is shallow and you can't discover its true power at all.

"How can such a defense stop my attack?"

The Shadow Demonic Winged Centipede let out a huge roar, the sound was like rolling thunder, its wings suddenly waved, and the elemental pattern behind it was like a ignited furnace, with billowing black mist pouring out continuously.

The black mist crazily hit the white satin-like defensive cover.

Under the fierce impact of the black mist, the defensive cover kept shaking and making a "buzzing" sound, as if it would break at any time.

Lu Zhi's face turned pale, because the defensive shield had the mark of his soul, and every vibration made him uneasy.

"boom--"

After persisting for a moment, the solid defensive cover was finally unable to withstand the terrifying black mist attack and quickly shrank, finally becoming the size of a palm and falling down.

Seeing this, the Shadow Demonic Winged Centipede laughed ferociously, its wings vibrated, and its body rose into the sky.

As it moved, the surrounding black mist spread crazily like an enraged beast, dyeing the entire sky ink.

The wind suddenly rose, and the howling sound was mixed with shrill sobs, as if countless wronged souls were crying.

"Cast the elemental magic array!"

Lu Zhi's face was as gloomy as water, and he shouted loudly, and the half-step masters from the five major families immediately dispersed.

At the same time, various figures flew out from all over the Yuanzhou, and the auras they emitted were all those of Heavenly King level powerhouses.

In a short period of time, the brilliance of Yuanli filled the entire Yuanzhou like stars.

Yuan patterns are intertwined to form gorgeous patterns.

The figures of five giant beasts quickly condensed, and their aura was as majestic as the sea, shaking the heaven and the earth.

At this time, a huge figure slowly emerged from the dark fog in the sky. It was obviously a shadow demon-winged centipede enlarged countless times.

Its body is hundreds of feet tall, like a huge demon crawling out of hell. It makes people feel fear and can't breathe.

"This guy has transformed into his true form. It seems that he is going to go on a killing spree today."

Li Yuan's eyes were slightly sharp, staring closely at the huge figure gradually revealed in the dark fog.

Around the huge figure, countless Yuan patterns flashed, exuding a strange aura.

Not to be outdone, the five major families joined forces to activate the Yuan magic array, condensing five giant beasts with different shapes. The figures also had Yuan patterns flowing on their bodies, containing the power of heaven and earth.

They jumped up from the Yuan Zhou with majestic momentum. The surrounding black mist seemed to feel their powerful aura, and they all moved out of the way to make way for a passage.

Five giant beasts quickly surrounded the Shadow Demon Winged Centipede, forming an indestructible encirclement.

The Shadow Demon Winged Centipede faced off against the five giant beasts, and the momentum of both sides continued to rise.

"Emperor Centipede, if you leave now, we are willing to offer five million earth yuan stones."

Lu Zhi raised his head and looked up at the huge mountain-like body of the Shadow Demon Winged Centipede. Although his voice seemed calm, his eyes could not conceal his anxiety.

After all, once the two sides actually go to war, they will definitely suffer considerable losses.

"Ha ha……"

The Shadow Demon Winged Centipede laughed wildly, the sound was like rolling thunder, making everyone's eardrums hurt.

It glanced at the five giant beasts condensed from Yuan Power, with disdain in its eyes: "Five million Earth Yuan stones?
"Do you think I am a beggar on the roadside?
"This little Yuan Stone is not even enough to stuff the gap between my teeth.

"Since you are not sincere, don't blame me for being rude.

"Young men, seal the entire sky for me. No one is allowed to let go today!"

Following the command from the Shadow Demon Wing Centipede, a thundering cry of death suddenly erupted from the three black Yuan Arks.

One after another, figures surged out like a black torrent. They were dressed in uniform armor, holding sharp weapons, and charged menacingly at the merchant boats of the five major families.

These figures were extremely numerous and densely packed, like ants, completely covering the merchant boats of the five major families.

"Why are they like the guests in the other three rooms of the Tan family in Longshan?" Teng Qing asked suspiciously as he looked at the flying thieves rushing out of Mo Yanzhou.

Hearing this, Li Yuan hesitated and said: "No wonder they dare to come out during the day, it seems that they have been planning what happened today.

"Furthermore, looking at their attire and well-trained training, they are indeed not ordinary flying thieves."

This is the first time Li Yuan has seen so many powerful people since he came to this area.

On the Qinggu Continent, the king-level powerhouses were already top beings, but here they seemed extremely ordinary.

He looked around and saw the Yuan Zhe on the merchant boat standing ready, with solemn expressions on their faces.

The sky at this moment has become a huge battlefield.

"Boom, boom, boom, boom -"

A series of deafening loud noises spread from the sky, and six huge figures fought fiercely.

Each of the giant beasts formed by the condensed energy exudes a powerful aura.

They flew and jumped in the air, hitting the body of the Shadow Demon Winged Centipede, and bursting out with astonishing energy.

Every collision is accompanied by violent vibrations and dazzling light.

A huge battle circle spread in the air, and the energy surged, forming invisible storms.

The storm raged in the sky, sweeping away everything around it.

The mountains below are shaking slightly under the influence of this force and may collapse at any time.

The water in the river was also pulled by this force, forming a huge whirlpool, roaring, and changing its course.

Countless figures collided in the air, making deafening shouts of killing.

They held sharp weapons and activated the ingots, which shuttled through the air like lightning.

Every time he swung his sword to chop, it would bring up a piece of Yuanli brilliance and tear the surrounding air apart.

For a time, all kinds of energy intertwined, and the entire sky was enveloped in dazzling light.

"Teng Qing, follow me." Li Yuan jumped to the edge of the merchant boat like a light swallow.

He looked at the earth-shaking battle circle in the distance, his soul power spreading out like invisible tentacles, quietly exploring the weak points of the flying bandit's circle.

After a short time, he withdrew his soul power, swayed, and turned into a stream of light, flying into the black fog in the sky, with Teng Qing following closely behind.

Their figures were looming in the black mist, as if they were integrated into one body.

"Zizzi-"

Suddenly, the sound of electricity sounded in the black mist, and the two lightning chains were like blue and silver thunder dragons. They seemed to be running rampant, but in fact they shuttled according to a certain pattern.

Wherever the thunder chain passed, there were no powerful high-level Yuanshen realm experts.

For the weaker flying thieves, the thunder chain is like Death's scythe, unable to dodge.

"Pfft! Pfft!"

There were two muffled sounds in succession, and the two flying thieves, who were only at the early stage of the Yuanshen realm, were directly pierced through the chests by lightning chains.

Their eyes were full of fear and despair, and blood gushed out like a fountain, dyeing the surrounding black mist red.

Two figures, one old and one young, suddenly appeared in front of the two flying thieves. They were Li Yuan and Teng Qing who had escaped from the merchant ship.

Li Yuan's eyes were cold, and with a movement of his mind, the thunder chains that pierced the flying thief spread out like obedient earth spirits, turning into twenty sharp thunder blades, flashing with dazzling thunder light in the darkness.

These thunder blades lingered around Li Yuan and Teng Qing, forming a deadly barrier.

At this moment, the vitality of the two flying thieves had completely disappeared. Their bodies fell from the sky like broken rag dolls and fell heavily to the ground.

"what?"

Suddenly, Li Yuan let out a light sigh, and his figure disappeared out of thin air and merged into the void.

The space hundreds of feet away suddenly squirmed, and then, Li Yuan's figure appeared out of thin air.

His movements were swift, his hands were like the claws of a crane, and with a single touch, he accurately landed on the head of a flying thief.

With just a crisp sound, the head was easily crushed like a broken clay pot, with blood and brains splattering everywhere.

A flying thief who had reached Nirvana was killed by Li Yuan without any sound.

Li Yuan retracted the crane claw and gently moved his fingers, turning them into sword fingers.

As his mind moved, twenty Earth Demon Blades shot out like arrows, cutting through the dark sky.

“Swish, swish, swish—”

Then, dozens of figures emerged one after another in the black mist.

However, all of these figures had their chests pierced by the Earthly Evil Blade.

Their eyes were full of fear and unwillingness, and their lives passed by in an instant.

At the same time, a strong aura of vegetation filled the air crazily.

The corners of Li Yuan's mouth raised slightly, and he whispered to himself: "Teng Qing also took action."

In the black mist, countless giant vines snaked and entangled, like horned dragons dancing in the darkness, accurately hitting the figures hidden in the black mist.

For a time, the screams of the flying thieves came one after another, and figures kept falling from the sky.

A moment later, Li Yuan and Teng Qing worked together to clean up the originally dense black mist area.

They tore a hole in the encirclement of flying thieves.

"Teng Qing, let's go."

Li Yuan called out to Teng Qing, who was dancing vines in the distance, and then stepped on the nine-color crystal divine cauldron, like an arrow, and shot towards the black mist surrounding them.

The nine colors on the divine cauldron flowed, and the brilliance was dazzling, adding a bit of majesty to his charge.

There are many flying thieves, and all of them are vicious.

The road they finally cleared would be filled again by other flying thieves if there was a slight delay.

Therefore, they must break out as soon as possible.

With his powerful soul power, Li Yuan keenly sensed the movements around him in the black mist.

He kept looking for weak points in the blockade. Although the road was tortuous, they managed to fight their way through layers of siege.

"It's finally out."

After an unknown amount of time, a glimmer of light finally appeared in front of Li Yuan's eyes.

As they got closer, the surrounding black fog began to fade, revealing the outside world.

Li Yuan and Teng Qing couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and their tense nerves relaxed a little.

These black mist can hinder the exploration of soul power to a certain extent. If Li Yuan's soul power were not extremely powerful, it would be difficult to find a way out in this black mist.

Recalling the battle just now, Li Yuan couldn't help but have a deeper guess about the strength of the Shadow Demon Wing Centipede.

This monster might really be able to compete with a strong person in the middle stage of Transformation Realm.

This time, it was obviously specifically targeting the merchant ships of the five major families to snatch the resources needed to break through to the later stages.

“I didn’t expect there were two fish that slipped through the net.”

A cold voice suddenly came from above, interrupting Li Yuan and Teng Qing's brief moment of relaxation.

The two looked up and saw an orc with a small head and big ears, floating in the air with a square mace on his feet.

Those cold beast eyes were looking down at them, as if they were looking at two insignificant ants.

The orc exuded a powerful aura, which made both Li Yuan and Teng Qing feel palpitations.

They didn't expect that there was a powerful King of Heaven hidden on the edge of the black mist. This sudden change made Li Yuan's heart sink slightly.

The orc's face is ferocious, and his small head with big ears looks quite weird.

His eyes were cold and cruel, as if he was about to launch a fatal attack at any time.

The square mace under his feet exudes a faint golden light, and is obviously a good mysterious weapon.

Li Yuan and Teng Qing looked at each other and saw solemnity and vigilance in each other's eyes.

"Senior, we are just ordinary travelers who boarded the merchant ship yesterday. We just want to ask for some elixirs and have no other intentions.

"Can you please be kind and let us go?"

Li Yuan deliberately pretended to be panicked, lowered his head slightly, and raised his hands to plead with the orc above.

However, within his body, Yuanli was quietly operating, ready to respond to emergencies at any time.

The orc put his hands behind his back, a trace of arrogance flashed in his eyes, and he nodded slightly: "It's not impossible to let them go, but you have to hand over the Yun Ring and join us."

"Thank you, senior!" Hearing this, Li Yuan showed gratitude on his face, as if he was really glad to have escaped.

But there was a subtle and cunning light flashing in his eyes.

"Haha, you are sensible."

When the orc heard this, a disdainful smile appeared on his lips, as if he thought Li Yuan had succumbed to his majesty.

Just when his laughter had not completely subsided, his expression suddenly stiffened.

The young man in blue robe below did not take off the Yun Ring as he wished. Instead, he raised one hand and several Yuan pattern scrolls appeared out of thin air and unfolded quickly.
