Lord of Bones

Chapter 681: Dark Shadow Spear Formation

"Humph!"

When Xia Youran saw this, a hint of coldness appeared in her beautiful eyes, and her figure floated out like a breeze.

She quickly formed seals with her jade hands, and a surge of energy gushed out of her body, quickly condensing into a huge energy vortex dozens of feet in front of her.

The vortex spun with a low roar, and even the surrounding void was pulled and distorted.

"Chichi-"

The black gun shadow came into contact with the vortex of energy, making a sharp friction sound, and then it was shattered like a fragile flower, turning into tiny fragments that scattered in all directions.

"Who's attacking?"

Guo Jingxuan, who was standing by, had cold eyes as she shouted delicately, and her figure rushed out like a flash of light green lightning, rushing towards the dark forest.

At the same time, she twisted her wrist slightly, and a three-inch long sword appeared in her hand. She immediately swung out several fierce sword energies and slashed forward.

"Bang bang bang-"

Immediately afterwards, continuous explosions shook the earth, and the air waves rolled like a tsunami, sweeping towards the surrounding giant trees and vines, shattering them one after another, turning into wood chips and branches and leaves that flew everywhere.

Guo Jingxuan's petite figure quickly disappeared in the darkness, as if blending into a vortex of chaos.

Xia Youran frowned slightly and said, "Zou Hao, Xue Ya, you stay with Li Yuan.

"Li Yuan, please take care of them.

After saying that, she moved, turned into a shadow, and followed closely behind him in the chaotic forest.

Li Yuan looked at Xia Youran's receding back. Although he was a little worried, he knew very well the strength of Xia Youran and Guo Jingxuan.

Below the Yuanwen realm, when the two of them join forces, they have few rivals.

However, not long after, astonishing fluctuations of energy erupted from the depths of the dark forest.

Dozens of dazzling rays of light shot up into the sky, illuminating the surrounding darkness.

These fluctuations of Yuanli were extremely powerful, and two of them had actually reached the small success stage of the Half-Step Transformation Realm.

Zou Hao and Xue Ya felt the strong fluctuation of Yuanli, and a solemn look appeared in their eyes. They obviously realized the seriousness of the situation.

"We have to help them!"

A layer of frost covered Guo Jingxuan's pretty face. With a low shout, her delicate body suddenly flew up and rushed towards the place where the fluctuations of Yuanli came from in the distance.

Seeing this, Zou Hao followed without any hesitation.

Their figures quickly shuttled through the darkness, like two sharp arrows shooting towards the source of the energy fluctuations.

Li Yuan wanted to say something, but swallowed the words back.

He was not in a hurry to catch up, wanting to take this opportunity to observe the strength of Xia Youran and the others.

If these people can't even deal with the little trouble in front of them, then they will probably find it difficult to protect themselves in the Xuanyin Thunder Domain.

He couldn't protect these people all the time, so it would be better to let them leave the Xuanyin Thunder Domain as soon as possible.

Li Yuan looked down at the lifeless body on the ground, then used his soul power to sweep across the ring in his hand.

Soon, he understood why those people took action.

Looking at the team lineup and methods, Li Yuan had some judgment in his mind.

Those people were not an ordinary force. They were quite powerful and ruthless. They came for the map and jade slip.

"call out--"

At this moment, a sharp gust of wind suddenly sounded, breaking the silence of the night sky and bringing with it a series of harsh sounds.

Li Yuan's mouth corners curled slightly, a trace of disdain flashed in his eyes, his shoulders shook, and the wings of thunder and flame behind him instantly spread out.

With a sudden flap of his thunder wings, his body shot up into the air, rising dozens of feet in an instant.

"Boom bang bang-"

One after another, black spears cut through the darkness like lightning, carrying with them a sharp sound of breaking through the air, and shot fiercely towards the rock where Li Yuan was before.

Each spear penetrated half a foot deep, and the spear body trembled rapidly, making a buzzing sound.

The cracks on the rock spread rapidly, covering its surface like a spider web, and then the top of the rock exploded with a loud bang, scattering debris everywhere.

The next moment, those black spears were pulled by an invisible force and flew back into the hands of their owners.

Dozens of men in black robes appeared in the sky ahead like ghosts, emitting a cold murderous aura, and their cold eyes were fixed on Li Yuan.

Li Yuan quickly scanned these figures with his soul power, muttering, "Eighteen people in the late Yuanshen realm."

The leader of the black-robed men looked at Li Yuan and said grimly, "Li Yuan, hand over the map jade slip and I will spare your life."

Li Yuan smiled slightly, shook the jade slip in his hand gently, and asked: "Since you know who I am, you should know that you are no match for me."

"Really? You asked for this." The black-robed leader's eyes flashed with viciousness, and his cold voice sounded like it came from the Netherworld, "Form a dark shadow spear formation!"

Suddenly, the other seventeen shadows quickly gathered around, forming a tight encirclement.

They quickly formed seals with their hands, and black beams of light shot up into the sky, piercing the clouds.

Countless elemental patterns emerged in darkness and eventually condensed into a huge black formation above the sky.

In the formation, the Yuan Force was surging, as if countless black pythons were surging in it.

Following a low shout from the leader, countless sharp gun shadows burst out from the formation and covered Li Yuan like dense raindrops.

Seeing that the other party acted so quickly and efficiently, Li Yuan's expression changed slightly. He tapped his brows and nine-colored divine flames instantly shot out, transforming into a nine-colored crystal cauldron in the air.

The cauldron is covered with Yuan patterns, exuding terrifying majesty.

With the infusion of Yuanli, the cauldron swelled up in the wind and turned into a giant cauldron a hundred feet tall, standing above Li Yuan's head.

"Dangdang——"

Numerous gun shadows fiercely stabbed at the Qiankun Cauldron, making a crisp sound of metal clashing.

The Qiankun Ding only trembled slightly, as if these attacks were just tickles to it.

The Yuan pattern on the body of the tripod did not weaken at all, but became even brighter and more dazzling.

Seeing this, Li Yuan raised a playful smile and glanced at the Qiankun Ding above which was in a stalemate with the gun shadow. His figure flashed and he disappeared from the spot in an instant.

The next moment, the space three hundred feet away fluctuated, and Li Yuan appeared out of thin air. He flapped his wings of thunder and flame behind him, and flew towards the forest like an arrow.

The giant tripod wrapped in the nine-colored divine flame in the sky seemed to have a spirit. It shrank rapidly and turned into a wisp of nine-colored divine flame. It caught up with Li Yuan at an extremely fast speed and sank into his forehead.

After more than a month of observation and experimentation in the Xuanyin Thunder Domain, Li Yuan discovered that although the flying speed here is only one hundredth of its peak speed, spatial teleportation is not restricted.

However, compared with the outside world, space teleportation consumes more energy, but at the critical moment, it can be the key to his escape.

"Where are you escaping to? Leave behind the map jade slip!"

When the eighteen men in black robes saw that Li Yuan suddenly stopped fighting with them and chose to escape, they hurriedly withdrew the Dark Shadow Spear Formation and chased after him.

They stared closely at the rapidly fleeing figure in front of them, feeling angry.

"Shh-"

The figure wrapped in lightning flames sped through the night and disappeared from their sight in the blink of an eye.

The black-robed people were startled and did not dare to delay at all, and immediately chased into the dense and dark forest below.

As soon as they fell into the forest, the originally peaceful forest suddenly became restless.

"Chichi-"

A sharp sound of breaking through the air was heard. Between the dense branches and leaves, several colorful lightning blades shot out like meteors, and instantly shot into the bodies of several black-robed men.

"what--"

Screams echoed in the forest. The bodies of the black-robed men were pierced by the lightning flame blades. Blood gushed out immediately and their vitality dropped rapidly.

Their faces turned pale in an instant, and their eyes were filled with fear and despair.

Then, several illusory shadows of souls flew out of their bodies, trying to escape from the dangerous forest.

However, the Thunder Flame Blade seemed to have eyes and kept chasing after it.

Finally, those phantoms of the souls were pierced one by one, exploded, and turned into points of light that disappeared in the night sky.

The sudden change caused the remaining dozen or so men in black robes to change their looks. A chill surged in their hearts, and the black spears in their hands immediately stabbed violently in the direction where the thunder flame blade was coming from.

"laugh--"

The moment the spear was thrust out, dozens of lightning flame blades shot out from the depths of the forest.

These lightning flame blades, carrying sharp gusts of wind, drew graceful arcs in the air and collided with the black spears.

"Ding Ding-"

The sound of metal clashing echoed in the forest, and a dazzling light burst out from where the Thunder Flame Blade and the black spear collided.

Those black spears were blown away one after another by the impact of the Thunder Flame Blade.

The Thunder Flame Blade continued to fly forward, heading straight for the men in black robes.

At this moment, a blue-robed young man with wings on his back flashed out from the forest and appeared in front of the black shadows. His eyes were cold, like the pervasive ice.

Li Yuan had put away his previous playfulness and ease, and replaced them with a solemn and murderous look.

"you do this delibrately!"

The opponent's sudden counterattack caught the man in black off guard, and his originally stable position was instantly thrown into chaos.

Li Yuan attacked ruthlessly and decisively, each blow went straight to the vital points, and he killed several of them in an instant.

Those fallen figures looked particularly desolate; their blood dyed the soil red, adding a solemn and murderous atmosphere to this silent forest.

Li Yuan watched coldly and said calmly: "Even the elders of Tianyun Sect can't capture me, and you don't even use your brains. With your cultivation and strength, how can you be my opponent?
"I just didn't want to waste more energy dealing with your Yuanshu formation.

"Do you really think I can't even handle you?"

The disdainful and scornful tone made the dozen or so men in black robes extremely angry.

“I heard that only the Dark Shadow Spear Formation can be performed by the Dark Shadow Guards, so you should be the Dark Shadow Guards.

"I still have a few map jade slips in my hand. Take them all to me and I can spare your lives."

Li Yuan continued, his tone full of unquestionable majesty.

"you……"

Dozens of men in black robes became furious when they saw their identities exposed and the other party demanded the jade slips so brazenly.

Their eyes were as dark as ink, and the spears in their hands almost instantly turned into fierce attacks, covering Li Yuan's vital points.

Li Yuan remained calm and pointed lightly forward.

Dozens of colorful lightning flame blades suddenly appeared in front of them, and with a sharp sound of breaking through the air, they collided fiercely with the spear attacks.

"Dangdang——"

The sound of metal clashing was endless, and dazzling light burst out.

Those lightning flame blades not only resisted the opponent's fierce attack, but their power remained undiminished and continued to shoot towards the black-robed men.

Upon seeing this, the black-robed men's faces changed drastically and they immediately threw away the spears in their hands, trying to attack instead of defend and resist the attack of the Thunder Flame Blade.

"Bang bang——"

The Thunder Flame Blade collided with the spear, making a deafening explosion.

Under the terrifying power of the Thunder Flame Blade, those spears shattered into pieces and turned into streams of light.

"what!"

The forest seemed to be torn open, and the screams one after another were like the cries of a night owl, echoing in the deep forest.

After a few breaths, lightning flashed through the gaps in the treetops and sprinkled on the corpses on the ground, reflecting the white bones and bright red blood.

Li Yuan looked down at all this, his face without a trace of fluctuation, and snorted coldly: "Not everyone can chase and kill me at will."

He raised his hand and an invisible force swept out, collecting dozens of rings that were shining with faint light into his hand.

Using his soul power to scan these jade rings, he showed a slight joy on his face, thinking: "I didn't expect that I could collect two map jade slips so easily this time.

“It seems that the Yinming Guards should still have a lot of them hidden in their hands.

"Then leave it with them for now, and pick it up later when you have the chance."

"Li Yuan, are you okay?"

At this time, Xue Ya's voice broke the silence in the forest. She landed lightly beside Li Yuan. Her eyes swept across the corpses on the ground below, and a trace of fear flashed in her eyes.

"I am fine."

Li Yuan smiled at her and waved his hand.

Xia Youran, Zou Hao and Guo Jingxuan followed closely behind.

When they saw this bloody scene, they were all stunned, and then looked at Li Yuan in shock.

"Did you kill all these people?"

Zou Hao asked with a trembling voice.

"Is there anyone else here?"

Li Yuan looked around, a look of confusion appearing on his face.

"Awesome!" Zou Hao said admiringly.

Li Yuan's strength, with his cultivation at the peak of the late Yuanshen realm, made Zou Hao, who was at the half-step Huawen realm, feel sincere admiration.

However, when he thought of Li Yuan's heroic feat of escaping from the hands of the elders of the Tianyun Sect, he felt that all this seemed reasonable.

"Haha, it seems that it is indeed a wise move to find you as a companion this time." Xia Youran smiled sweetly, with a bit of appreciation in her beautiful eyes.

Li Yuan shook his head helplessly without further explanation.

Guo Jingxuan frowned and asked, "Do you know who they are?
"Why did you attack us?"

"They will use a kind of Yuanshu formation." Li Yuan replied calmly, "I wonder if the people who fought with you used the Yuanshu formation?"

Guo Jingxuan shook her head and said, "No.

“There are 22 people fighting with us. They are well-trained and have good coordination. Among them, two have reached the minor success of the Half-Step Transformation Realm.

“Even if the four of us joined forces, we could only tie with them.

"However, they don't seem to want to fight us to the death. It seems more like they are deliberately luring us away."

Guo Jingxuan asked: "Did these guys use the Yuanshu formation on you?"

"Yes." Li Yuan nodded, "It should be the Dark Shadow Spear Formation of the Dark Guards. You mentioned it to me before.

“I think this is it.”
