Lord of Bones

Chapter 678 Considering Countermeasures
The blue-robed figure was staggering in the thunder, as if it could be swallowed up by the violent force at any time.

Finally, he lost his balance and fell towards the stone forest below like a meteor.

"Boom——"

There was a loud bang, as if the entire stone forest was shaking.

Countless pieces of debris were shaken and flew everywhere, smoke and dust filled the air, shrouding the area in a haze.

The smoke and dust gradually dissipated, and the blue-robed figure was seen sitting up with difficulty from among the rocks.

His face was a little pale, but it couldn't hide his determination and stubbornness.

He wiped the dust off his face with his hand, revealing his handsome and tired face.

This person was none other than Li Yuan who was fleeing frantically.

He took out several pills and swallowed them without hesitation.

As the pill entered his stomach, a warm current quickly spread throughout his body, relieving his fatigue.

He kept flying away, performing space teleportation over and over, and almost exhausted all his energy.

But he was never able to shake off the eight elders of Tianyun Sect who were chasing him closely.

"It looks like I'm going to miss the time I agreed to meet Xia Youran and the others.

"Even if Shui Qing and the others weren't chasing us now, we wouldn't be able to get back to Yinming Castle in time."

Li Yuan sighed inwardly, looked around, and said firmly: "It seems that I have to use some trump cards."

After choosing among several options, he finally decided to let Teng Qing take action.

He took a deep breath and began to communicate with Teng Qing.

After calling for a long time, the wooden hairpin in the hair began to emit a faint green light.

The light gradually spread, as if life was awakening in it.

A slightly old but dignified female voice came out: "Are you really determined to let me take action?
“If I show up, the energy of the sperm-devouring demon vine sealed in my body will launch a crazy counterattack.

"I'm afraid I won't be able to help you in the next few decades."

Hearing this, Li Yuan's eyes flashed with hesitation, and hesitantly said: "It's just dealing with a few people in the Half-Step Transformation Realm."

Teng Qing explained: "The eight elders of Tianyun Sect are all at the peak of the Half-Step Transformation Realm.

“Their combat power is comparable to the top existences below the Huawen realm.

“If they join forces and fight to the death, even an ordinary Huawen realm cultivator would find it difficult to resist.

"It's only been two years since I recovered to the Huawen realm."

Li Yuan frowned, his eyes revealing a bit of unwillingness: "Is there no way to intimidate them?

"Do they really dare to confront a strong man in the Huawen realm head-on?"

Teng Qing hesitated for a moment and said helplessly: "They are not ordinary people. They have seen a lot of storms and they must have valuables on them.

"With my current strength, I am afraid I am not capable of shocking them.

"If you can ask Senior Xuewu to help, it can be done easily."

Li Yuan stroked his chin and said thoughtfully: "Xiao Bai's one move can indeed shock them.

"But she also needs a long rest afterwards."

What worried him the most was that if he wasn't careful, Xuan Ye might take control of his body.

The situation will then become even more difficult to control.

After thinking for a moment, Teng Qing's voice sounded again, with a bit of determination: "I do have a compromise."

"What method?" Li Yuan asked hurriedly.

Teng Qing said in a deep voice: "We can let Senior Xuewu come forward, and we only need to use her pressure to intimidate the other party, and we don't have to really take action.

“This way, I can take the opportunity to gather strength and perform a teleportation that tears through space and spans a long distance, and send you back to Yinming Castle.

"There, you can enter the Xuanyin Thunder Region through the teleportation formation."

"However, I must remind you." Teng Qing's voice became serious, "Once Senior Xuewu and I take such action.

"We will not be able to provide you with any help for at least five years."

Li Yuan looked up at the vast black stone forest and said, "This is indeed a feasible method.

“It’s only five years, that’s not long.

“The power of thunder in the Xuanyin Thunder Region is enough to interfere with their pursuit. It won’t be as easy as it is now to catch up with me.

“Out there, once my energy is exhausted, they will catch up with me sooner or later.

“Besides, the time agreed with Xia Youran and the others is almost here.

"As long as both of you can recover in a short period of time, this method is worth a try.

"Ok, deal."

After making up his mind, Li Yuan closed his eyes and began to meditate and regulate his breathing.

He sat cross-legged in the stone forest, as if he had merged into one with the surrounding rocks. His breathing became slow and deep, and every breath seemed to resonate with the vital energy between heaven and earth.

The energy in the body gathered like a trickle and gradually recovered.

The surrounding stone forest seemed to be infected and became quiet.

Only the sound of wind in the distance and the occasional sound of gravel rolling in the stone forest broke the silence.

.........

Half an hour passed quietly, and the night became darker.

Above the sky, the clouds seemed to be stained with thick ink, dark and depressing.

Shui Qing, Shui Xuan, Shui Zhengji and Shui Chonghui, the four elders of Tianyun Sect, were like four bright stars, rushing from the sky.

The long swords in their hands flashed with cold light, and the tip of the sword was pointing at Li Yuan, who had thunder wings on his back and stood proudly in the void.

Sword shadows intertwined, and the four elders' sword skills were in perfect harmony, having been honed through thousands of trials and tribulations, and their coordination was seamless.

As the sword was swung, white sword energy intertwined in the air to form an impenetrable sword net.

Li Yuan stood in the center of the sword net. Facing the overwhelming sword energy, his mind moved. Suddenly, twenty-one lightning flame blades appeared around him, drawing graceful arcs in the air and colliding violently with the sword energy in the sword net.

"Chichi-"

With every collision, the void trembled, accompanied by a sharp buzzing sound.

Under the resistance of the Thunder Flame Blade, the white sword net turned into water vapor and dissipated like ice and snow encountering the scorching sun.

Wherever the Thunder Flame Blade passed, the air was distorted and deformed by the burning, and heat waves rolled.

When Shui Qing and the other four Tianyun Sect elders saw this, a hint of surprise flashed in their eyes.

Then he swung the sword again, and four extremely sharp sword auras burst out from the tip of the sword, like four silver dragons interweaving and merging in the air, and finally turned into a huge sword shadow emitting dazzling white light.

The sword shadow cut through the night sky at such a fast speed that it seemed to tear the dark sky apart.

The moment the sword shadow fell, Li Yuan finally reacted, but it was too late to dodge.

At the critical moment, the nine-colored divine flame between his eyebrows suddenly flew out and instantly turned into a crystal jade cauldron.

The cauldron grew wildly, like a nine-colored sun rising from the darkness, emitting dazzling light and dispelling the darkness around it without a trace.

The white sword shadow fell like a meteor, fiercely slashing on the giant tripod surrounded by nine-colored divine flames.

Suddenly, the loud sound of metal colliding was like thunder exploding, echoing in the sky.

The moment the sword shadow touched the giant cauldron, it shattered and turned into countless tiny sword lights.

The sword lights flew everywhere, like fireworks blooming in the night sky, brilliant but short-lived.

As the sword shadow shattered, an astonishing amount of energy swept around like a violent storm.

The air hummed under the impact of energy, and the void was trembling.

Li Yuan flapped the wings of thunder and flame behind him violently, and flew forward with his scarred body.

Shui Qing and the other three were also affected by the terrifying energy and flew backwards uncontrollably.

Their bodies tumbled in the air like fallen leaves swept by a strong wind, and they flew backwards for more than a hundred feet before they stabilized.

The figures of the four people blurred in the air, as if they turned into four phantoms, instantly dissipating the force and floating in the air again.

They raised their heads to look up at the sky, and saw that the giant cauldron with nine-colored divine flames was still suspended in the air, shining brightly and glitteringly.

Shui Qing's face looked slightly ugly, and he frowned.

Obviously, they did not expect that Li Yuan's giant tripod was so powerful that it could actually withstand the combined attack of the four of them.

What shocked them even more was that Li Yuan could activate twenty-one lightning Yin Lei blades at the same time.

This kind of control was beyond their imagination.

After all, the most powerful person in the entire Wen River Basin, Emperor Yin Lei, who was famous at that time, only possessed eighteen lightning Yin Lei blades.

The four of them looked at each other with surprise and doubt in their eyes.

At the same time, a bold guess arose in their minds that Li Yuan was not a Yuan from the Wen River Basin, but perhaps came from other places on the continent, or even from overseas like Emperor Yin Lei.

At this moment, the giant cauldron of nine-colored divine flames in the sky was pulled by a mysterious force, shrinking rapidly, and finally turning into a dazzling divine light, catching up with Li Yuan like lightning and sinking into his forehead.

Shui Qing looked at the thunderous figure that flew thousands of feet away in an instant and shouted, "Chase!"

At the command, four figures, one blue and three white, rushed towards the direction where Li Yuan fled like arrows.

They were moving at an extremely fast speed, as if they were crossing the barrier of space. In the blink of an eye, they had closed the distance between them and Li Yuan. At the same time, they swung their swords one after another, and streaks of white sword energy slashed directly towards Li Yuan.

Li Yuan turned around suddenly and pointed at the white sword energy sweeping from behind, and the colorful lightning flame blades appeared around him.

They drew graceful arcs in the air and shot towards the sword energy.

"Bang bang——"

The collision between the sword energy and the lightning flame blade triggered a series of explosions, shaking the void.

The air wave generated by the explosion swept in all directions like a tidal wave, squeezing the surrounding air and distorting it.

Shui Qing and his four companions who were chasing after them were immediately hit by countless surging air waves, and their body protective energy barely withstood the impact of the air waves.

Their bodies swayed in the air, but they finally stabilized themselves, but did not continue to chase Li Yuan.

A sly smile flashed across Shui Qing's face. He stood with his hands behind his back and looked at Li Yuan, revealing an indescribable confidence.

Suddenly, a white light shone from the sky, as if day had arrived.

In the light, countless elemental patterns flickered like stars.

They intertwined and merged, gradually forming a huge elemental formation, emitting a mysterious and powerful aura.

As the Yuan Array was activated, rope-like white lights shot out from the Yuan Array and twisted flexibly in the air like dancing snakes.

These white lights quickly wrapped around Li Yuan's limbs and body, binding him tightly, and instantly wrapped him into a cocoon of light.

Li Yuan was shocked and felt the vast Yuan force, which was powerful and terrifying.

He struggled hard, trying to break free from the restraints, but no matter how hard he tried, the rope-like white light was as tough as steel and did not move at all.

What was even more strange was that he found that his soul power was also bound by these white lights and could not easily leave his body.

At this moment, the void around the white light cocoon began to fluctuate.

As the void fluctuated, eight figures emerged, all looking at Li Yuan who was trapped in the light cocoon with cold and cruel eyes, with satisfied smiles on their faces.

Shui Qing laughed triumphantly: "The White Chain Soul Binding Formation is indeed worthy of its reputation. It can even trap the soul. Let's see how you can perform space teleportation!"

Li Yuan's heart trembled when he heard this, and then the lightning flames lingering on his body surged up, like a violent fire dragon rolling and struggling in the white light cocoon.

Seeing this, Shui Qing sneered and slapped the air below with one hand.

A more dazzling light suddenly burst out from the surface of the white light cocoon, and the surface patterns surged as if alive, as if an invisible force was squeezing the light cocoon, making it tighten a bit.

Li Yuan felt the pressure around him suddenly increase, and he became anxious, frantically urging the spatial energy on the spiritual pattern life-devouring bone.

Suddenly, the void around the white light cocoon trembled violently.

At the moment when Shui Qing and others held their breath and concentrated, the white light cocoon suddenly shrank rapidly, and it seemed that there was nothing inside.

Then, with a loud bang, the rapidly shrinking light cocoon shattered into pieces, turning into countless white light spots and dissipating into the void.

"What's going on?" A hint of doubt flashed in Shui Qing's eyes. He looked around but couldn't find any trace of Li Yuan.

Shui Yanjun hesitated for a moment, then said in a deep voice: “It seems that the boy is really gone.

“Once the trapped objects in the White Chain Soul Binding Formation disappear, it will collapse on its own.

"But, since we learned this technique, we have never failed."

Shui Xuan quickly released her soul power and explored the surroundings, but there was no trace of Li Yuan.

She frowned and said, "It seems that the boy used the space teleportation technique to escape again."

When Shui Qing heard this, his face turned ferocious, his eyes were bloodshot, and he roared wildly: "Don't even think about escaping!

“Since we can’t capture him alive, we’ll just kill his body and take his soul back.

"Let the elders in the sect find a way to find the whereabouts of the Essence Devouring Demon Vine from its soul!"

After saying this, he waved his hand violently, and the void around him began to fluctuate again.

A powerful force tore through the space, and Shui Qing's figure instantly disappeared from the spot, leaving only the aftereffects echoing in the air.

The other seven people also tore through the void and chased in the direction where Li Yuan might escape.

.........

Dozens of miles away, above the vast forest, a ball of violent lightning and flames jumped and flickered in the clouds.

After each flash, its position changed dramatically, advancing three hundred feet forward in an instant.

Finally, after a violent flash, the thunder flame stabilized, revealing Li Yuan's embarrassed figure.

His face looked a little pale, obviously the continuous teleportation had consumed a lot of his energy.

He took out a few pills from the ring and swallowed them without hesitation. Then he looked up into the distance with a flash of determination in his eyes.

He no longer used space teleportation which consumed a huge amount of energy.

After roughly identifying the direction, he flapped the wings of thunder and flame behind him suddenly, and his body was as fast as an arrow. He flew away at full speed towards the distance at such a speed that only a vague shadow could be seen.

The surrounding forest swayed in the strong wind, making a rustling sound.

The sky was covered with dark clouds, lightning and thunder, as if even the heaven and earth were shaking with his struggle at the moment.
