Lord of Bones

Chapter 673: Water Charm Unending Bones

Ruan Ningmeng bit her teeth lightly, and the energy in her body suddenly surged like a torrent, and her body retreated rapidly again.

At the same time, the long sword in her hand kept swinging like flowing water, and sharp sword energy passed by, densely covering the path she retreated.

"laugh--"

Just as Ruan Ningmeng retreated, the wings of thunder and flame behind the thunder figure opposite suddenly flapped, and the body suddenly shot out again.

This time, his speed increased several times compared to before.

The terrifying speed made his figure rush like thunder, leaving behind a series of thunder shadows and quickly approaching Ruan Ningmeng.

The sharp sword energy swung by Ruan Ningmeng, when it came into contact with the colorful thunder covering Li Yuan's body, was shattered into nothingness as if it had hit an indestructible barrier.

"I didn't expect that even without teleporting, his speed could reach such a level?"

A solemn look appeared on Ruan Ningmeng's pretty face, and she sighed inwardly.

She thought she had overestimated Li Yuan's strength, but now she found that she still underestimated him.

Just when Ruan Ningmeng was about to launch an offensive, she discovered that Lei Ting's figure had disappeared out of thin air.

The next moment, she felt a strong spatial fluctuation, and a chill suddenly spread through her body.

She quickly turned her head and saw a thunderous figure appear out of nowhere behind her.

The thundering figure suddenly raised his head, and Li Yuan's handsome face looked particularly resolute under the reflection of the lightning.

The lightning flame sword that was originally tightly grasped in his right hand had disappeared, his palm clenched into a fist, and thunder flashed wildly.

His body made a half-spin and he threw a punch.

The terrifying fist force struck Ruan Ningmeng like a violent storm.

Wherever it passed, the air was torn apart, producing a series of piercing sonic booms, as if thunder was exploding in the ears.

The power of the five-colored thunder flames seemed to be able to destroy all obstacles standing in its way.

Under the gaze of all the spectators, Li Yuan's punch hit Ruan Ningmeng's back solidly.

In an instant, it seemed as if the entire square was shaking.

Under the impact of the fist, Ruan Ningmeng's body fell to the ground like a kite with a broken string, her long hair fluttering in the air and her dress flying in the wind.

Li Yuan exhaled slowly, then spread out his fists. The thunder flame sword appeared in his hand again, flashing dazzling thunder flames.

"Ruan Ningmeng, defeated?"

On the stone platform, Shui Qing and other elders of Shuiyun Peak looked solemn, with furrowed brows and complicated expressions in their eyes.

Once Ruan Ningmeng is defeated, it will not only be the defeat of a disciple for them, but also mean that the things left by Shui Jing will no longer belong to Tianyun Sect.

Above the Black Stone Square, Ruan Ningmeng's figure slowly fell, like a withered petal, beautiful and desolate.

The atmosphere around them seemed to freeze, with only the sound of her falling echoing in the air, crisp and harsh.

Somewhere in the audience, Xue Ya's eyes fell on the blue-robed figure in the audience, and she murmured to herself: "Li Yuan, he is really strong..."

Then, she turned her gaze to Ruan Ningmeng who was slowly falling in mid-air, and a trace of worry surged in her heart: "Will this punch destroy Ruan Ningmeng's foundation?"

Xia Youran, who was standing on the other side, shook his head and said in a deep voice: "Probably not.

“Although it is rumored that Li Yuan is a ruthless person, based on our observations during this period of time, he is only cruel to those who are real enemies.

“There is no deep hatred between him and Ruan Ningmeng.

"And if he really wanted to defeat the opponent thoroughly, he wouldn't have fought so lightly."

Xue Ya turned her head and looked at Xia Youran in confusion: "Is this not painful or itchy?"

Xia Youran explained: "You may have forgotten that Li Yuan defeated Gong Yunya, who was at the half-step transformation realm, with just one move in Yaodu?
"Today, he faced Ruan Ningmeng. Although his attack was fierce, upon closer observation, it seemed that his attacks always avoided Ruan Ningmeng's vital points."

Guo Jingxuan followed up and said, “That’s right, Li Yuan’s attack today was indeed reserved.

"He seems to be intending to let Ruan Ningmeng fight with him for a while longer, so as to train her actual combat ability."

After hearing this, Zou Hao frowned and said doubtfully: "Although Ruan Ningmeng has not advanced to the Half-Step Transformation Realm, she is the direct disciple of a Transformation Realm expert of the Tianyun Sect.

"If Li Yuan really wanted to give up, wouldn't the elders of Tianyun Sect be able to see it?"

Xia Youran said: "If we hadn't spent some time with Li Yuan, we would probably think that he had done something heavy to Ruan Ningmeng.

“But it was these days together that allowed us to get to know him better.

"His attack seemed fierce, but it didn't cause much damage to Ruan Ningmeng."

Upon hearing this, Xue Ya nodded slightly. After all, with her level of cultivation, she would definitely be defeated if she was hit by Li Yuan.

I didn't expect that this rumored ruthless person would actually care so much about his opponent's safety during the battle.

Above the Black Stone Square, Ruan Ningmeng felt as if the thunder power of a violent beast was falling continuously. When it penetrated into her body, it dissipated silently without causing any damage to her inside.

"The gap in strength between Li Yuan and I is too big. If I hold back any more, even a fool would be able to see that he is giving in to me."

Ruan Ningmeng pondered secretly in her heart, and a hint of determination flashed in her eyes.

If you want to continue fighting, you must show your full strength without reservation.

She took a deep breath, closed her eyes, and used all her strength to activate the Yuan bones in her body, revealing her trump card completely.

A powerful aura surged out from her body, raging like a flood and shaking the surrounding void.

Immediately afterwards, Ruan Ningmeng's cultivation continued to rise.

From the peak of the late Yuanshen Realm, he soared all the way, directly surpassing that indestructible barrier of cultivation and stepping into the Half-Step Huawen Realm.

The crowded spectator seats.

The audience felt the powerful aura and their eyes widened in amazement.

Xia Youran's eyes fell on Ruan Ningmeng, with a look of astonishment on her face: "This aura should be the extremely rare Water Charm Unending Bone."

When Xue Ya heard this unfamiliar word, she tilted her head and asked curiously, "Water charm never ceases to exist in the bones? How come I have never heard of it before?"

Guo Jingxuan explained: "The Water Rhythm Bone is one of the top-level earth bones and is indeed extremely rare.

“It is extremely difficult to evolve the Mysterious Bone into such a top-level Earth Bone.

“Only those extremely special top-level Xuan bones have a chance of successfully transforming.

"For a Yuan practitioner who possesses the Bone of Endless Water Charm, the water elemental energy in his body will flow like water, continuously providing him with an endless supply of energy.

"Moreover, during the short period of time when the Yuanli bursts out, your cultivation will skyrocket, and your endurance and recovery will also be greatly improved."

She paused and continued, "At this moment, Ruan Ningmeng, even I am not absolutely sure that I can win."

Xia Youran nodded and added, "What Jingxuan said is true.

“But the most powerful thing about the Water Rhythm Bone is that its chance of evolving into a Heavenly Bone is much higher than other Earthly Bones.

"Once you succeed in evolving, you will reach the highest realm that a Yuan-Zhe can ever dream of."

When Zou Hao heard this, a trace of envy flashed in his eyes: "In this case, Ruan Ningmeng's chance of advancing to the Huawen realm is very high.

"Maybe in the future I'll have a chance to reach the legendary Life Spirit Realm."

Xia Youran sighed softly: "What a pity." The Water Charm Bone in her body has not yet stabilized, otherwise with our eyesight, we would not be able to see it at a glance.

“Without the help of a strong person in the Huawen realm, the evolution speed of the Shuiyun Buxi bone will be extremely slow.

"If Shui Jing, the head of Shuiyun Peak, had not disappeared, with her help, Ruan Ningmeng might have been able to fight Li Yuan today."

At this time, Li Yuan on the field glanced back and forth between Ruan Ningmeng and the elders of Tianyun Sect on the stone platform.

He showed a helpless smile on his face, muttering, "If you have these trump cards, you should use them earlier. Otherwise, I have to be on guard against those old guys seeing the clues.

"Today, I will fight with you."

There was a sense of ease and heroism in his words.

There was silence on the stone platform.

Shui Qing frowned, staring at Ruan Ningmeng with a serious look, and said to himself:

“No wonder Shui Jing decided to accept you as her personal disciple and planned to let you take over the position of the headmaster.

“I didn’t expect that even the top-level earth bone like Shui Yun Bu Xi Bone could allow you to evolve successfully.

“Once you enter the Half-Step Transformation Realm, your reputation will surely soar.

“By then, it will be really difficult for me to suppress you in the peak.”

At this moment, he was full of admiration and fear of Ruan Ningmeng's potential, and foresaw possible threats in the future.

The air around him seemed to tremble slightly because of his emotional fluctuations, and the entire stone platform seemed to be shrouded in an invisible pressure.

On the other side of the stone platform, the seventh elder Shui Huixin sighed softly, looked at Ruan Ningmeng, with complex expressions in her eyes, and said softly:

"In order to deceive these old guys, Ning Meng used the Water Charm Bone."

Above the wide black square, Ruan Ningmeng's figure fell slowly like a light feather.

When it was still more than ten feet above the ground, its body suddenly flipped in the air. Its movements were smooth and natural, and finally it landed lightly on the ground with almost no sound.

After Ruan Ningmeng stood firm, she looked at Li Yuan opposite her and slowly raised her arm.

The water vapor lingering above the dark blue sword in his hand became thicker and thicker, as if it was about to cover the entire square in mist.

She scolded softly, "Brother Li, I won't hold back from now on."

As soon as the words fell, the entire square seemed to be silent.

The elders of Tianyun Sect, dressed in white robes, stared at the two people in the square, whispered to each other, with anticipation in their eyes.

One of the old ladies in white looked at Shui Qing with concern and whispered, "Great Elder, the duel just started not long ago, and Ruan Ningmeng was forced to use her Yuan bone.

“And the boy from Longyang Li’s family seems to have maintained a very calm attitude.

"If this continues, if Ruan Ningmeng really loses, then the things that Master Shui Jing left behind will not be preserved."

Shui Qing snorted coldly, looked at the two people in the square, and said coldly: “Don’t worry, no matter who wins or loses this duel, Ruan Ningmeng and Li Yuan can’t leave.

"Since Ruan Ningmeng has shown her true potential, I want to see what her future potential is."

After hearing what Shui Qing said, the old woman in white said, "Looking at how evenly matched they are right now, if they really fight to the death, Ruan Ningmeng might get hurt.

"If it affects the foundation, it will be terrible."

Shui Qing glanced at her and said calmly: "If any unexpected situation really occurs, you can take action."

Hearing this, the old woman in white didn't dare to say anything more. She could only nod and turn her gaze back to the Black Stone Square below.

Ruan Ningmeng held the long sword and swung it lightly. The crisp sound of the sword echoed in the empty black square, like the singing of birds in the early morning, clear and pleasant.

She raised her beautiful eyes and stared at Li Yuan opposite her. Her body paused slightly to accumulate strength.

The next moment, she tapped the ground with her toes, and her figure turned into a beam of light and quickly rushed towards Li Yuan.

The long sword in his hand was like a water snake emerging from a cave, carrying with it a sharp sword energy that could break the wind, and pierced towards Li Yuan's chest cunningly and fiercely.

The tip of the sword flashed with cold light, leaving a long and thin sword energy trail in the air.

Li Yuan stood in place, the tip of the sword reflected in his pupils kept getting bigger, but there was no panic on his face.

When the sword surrounded by light blue vapor was about to reach a few feet in front of him, Li Yuan finally moved.

His body seemed to be weightless. He flexibly moved half a foot to the left, easily dodging Ruan Ningmeng's fierce attack. Then he moved a few more feet to create a distance of more than ten feet.

Ruan Ning dreamed that Li Yuan easily avoided her attack and did not show the slightest surprise.

"Condense the water and return it to the sword!"

She shouted softly, twisting the sword gracefully in her hand.

The water vapor that was originally lingering on the sword suddenly surged, like the awakened waves of the river and the sea, surging endlessly.

Countless incomplete Yuan patterns gradually appeared in the water vapor.

Then, the surrounding water vapor condensed into countless tiny water droplets at an astonishing speed. Each drop seemed to contain endless power and floated in the air.

There was a flash of determination in Ruan Ningmeng's eyes, and she thrust her sword in the direction of Li Yuan. The water droplets then shot towards Li Yuan like arrows.

At this moment, it seemed as if a strange rain was falling over the square.

The water droplets, carrying the sharp sword energy, drew out long and thin tracks and emitted a sharp sound of breaking through the air.

These water droplets passed through the air obstacles and appeared in front of Li Yuan in an instant, shooting accurately towards the vital parts of the body.

Li Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly, feeling the powerful force contained in these water droplets, which was completely different from the small grain technique that Ruan Ningmeng had performed before.

He did not dare to be careless. With a thought, dozens of lightning flame blades appeared around him.

The Thunder Flame Blade emitted a blazing light and collided with the violently rushing water droplets.

"Chichi-"

The moment the two collided, bursts of water vapor and lightning erupted.

The water droplets were blocked by the Thunder Flame Blade and were scattered one after another, turning into white water vapor and dissipating in the air.

The next moment, Li Yuan's foot slammed down on the ground like a sledgehammer, and a shallow crack instantly appeared on the ground.

"Bam—"

Accompanied by a deafening explosion, his body turned into colorful lightning like a wild horse that had broken free from its reins, and his speed was so fast that it was difficult to catch.

The air was torn apart by his speed, forming tiny air currents.

Suddenly, Li Yuan approached Ruan Ningmeng and jumped up suddenly.

His right foot, wrapped in the terrifying power of thunder, smashed hard into Ruan Ningmeng's head.

Seeing this, Ruan Ningmeng frowned slightly, and a trace of solemnity flashed in her eyes.

She twisted her waist as flexibly as a water snake, tapped the ground with her feet, and then retreated a few steps, cleverly avoiding Li Yuan's kick in the air.

However, she couldn't help but be secretly shocked.
