Lord of Bones

Chapter 686: The First of the Thousand Kings
Hearing this, Li Yuan's face darkened, and his tone became more unhappy:
"As the leader of the seven sects, does Lingyun Sect also act so overbearingly and disregard the sect's reputation?"

The woman did not answer Li Yuan directly, but glared at him as if she was about to attack him in the next second.

At this time, the middle-aged man couldn't hold back any longer and urged, "Why are you talking nonsense to them?

"As long as we can get the Wind and Thunder Jade, Master Ming will not blame us even if there is some loss."

Upon hearing this, Li Yuan's eyes suddenly turned cold, like two bottomless pools of ice.

He stared at the other party coldly and said word by word: "Feng Lei Ming Yu, giving you five is already the limit.

"If you are still unsatisfied, you will regret it even if you are a strong man from Lingyun Sect."

The woman heard this and sneered with a hint of disdain: "Do it!"

Before she finished speaking, except for her, the other nine people were like beasts that had been gathering strength for a long time. Suddenly, they burst out with astonishing fluctuations of Yuan Force, and the surrounding space seemed to tremble at this moment.

At the critical moment, Li Yuan's eyes flashed with determination, and twenty-one Earthly Blades appeared out of thin air.

It drew a brilliant and deadly arc in the air, and with a roar that could tear through the void, it shot towards the seven powerful men from the Lingyun Sect who were rushing towards them.

The remaining two powerful Lingyun Sect members were left to be dealt with by Xia Youran and his four companions.

"Zizzi-"

The Thunder Flame Blade hit the target accurately and pierced through the heads and souls of the three Lingyun Sect warriors with ease. The scene was so tragic and shocking.

The other four Lingyun Sect Masters were obviously no ordinary people either. They summoned their cloud pattern shields almost at the same time.

A faint cloud-like light was flowing on the shield, as if it could mobilize the power of heaven and earth to block the attack of the Earthly Blade.

Even so, they were shocked by the sudden burst of power from the Earth Demon Blade and retreated again and again, their faces pale.

The woman in white who was watching the fight not far away saw this and her beautiful eyes widened in disbelief.

Unless it was the top genius of the sect, she had never seen a Half-Step Huawen Realm being so vulnerable in front of a late Yuanshen Realm realm.

"Retreat!" The woman acted decisively and shouted loudly.

Even if she took action personally, she might be able to defeat Li Yuan and his four men, but the risks would also be enormous and it would very likely lead to their annihilation.

There are dangers lurking on all sides of the Rock Wind and Thunder Cave, so the best strategy is to conserve your strength.

Upon hearing this, the other six Lingyun Sect warriors immediately stopped their actions without any hesitation. They used their body skills to transform into afterimages and quickly disappeared into the whistling thunder and rock dust around them. In the blink of an eye, they disappeared without a trace.

"Stop chasing." Li Yuan raised his hand slightly and stopped Xia Youran and others who were about to chase after him.

Xia Youran and the others steadied themselves, with doubts in their eyes. They turned back to look at Li Yuan, as if they wanted to get an explanation from him.

Li Yuan slowly said: "The reason why we can easily kill the other party is largely because they underestimated my strength at the peak of the late Yuanshen realm and never really took me seriously.

"This advantage will no longer exist when the other side is prepared."

“The people from Lingyun Sect are a bit stronger than those from Tianyun Sect.

“If we pursue them rashly, not only will we not gain any advantage, but we may even fall into their counterattack.

"Here, it is best to proceed with caution."

Upon hearing this, Xia Youran and others nodded.

Li Yuan raised his hand slightly, and several Yun Rings taken from the slain Yuanzhe fell quietly into his palm, and then he said solemnly:
"With the increasing number of Yuan people in the Xuanyin Thunder Region, this area is becoming more and more dangerous.

“Although we have temporarily forced back the Lingyun Sect’s strong men, their threat has not been truly eliminated.

"For safety reasons, I suggest everyone evacuate as soon as possible."

Xia Youran nodded gently after hearing this: "Brother Li is right. Today's incident has made us realize that we should not stay here for long."

Li Yuan smiled slightly, his smile showing both his feelings for the past and his expectations for the future:

"I originally planned to spend a year with you in Fengyun Leidongjian, but I never thought that time would pass so quickly and it has been nearly three years in the blink of an eye.

“I came to the Xuanyin Thunder Region for my own pursuits.

“So, I think it’s time to say goodbye to you all.

"If there is a chance someday, we will meet again."

Xia Youran was reluctant to leave after hearing this, but she also understood that everyone must come together and part, so she said, "Thank you, Brother Li, for your protection over the years. We will always remember it in our hearts.

"I hope Brother Li can achieve his wish soon."

Li Yuan waved his hand and said, "You're too polite. We are partners fighting side by side, and we should support each other.

“After leaving Fengyun Leidong Gorge, I suggest you go directly through Yinlei Courtyard and return to Yinming Castle.

"Nowadays, more and more Yuanzhe gather at various entrances. Although not everyone has evil intentions, it is not uncommon to see robberies like what happened in Lingyun Sect."

Hearing this, Guo Jingxuan nodded and said, "Brother Li is right. It is too dangerous for us to continue training here."

Li Yuan nodded, then bowed to the others and said, "Everyone, we will meet again in the future."

After saying this, he suddenly flapped the wings of thunder and flame behind him and rushed towards the direction where the disciples of Lingyun Sect were fleeing. Soon he turned into a stream of light and disappeared in the vast thunder rock dust.

Xia Youran and others looked at the direction where Li Yuan left, feeling mixed emotions, including reluctance to leave and longing for the future.

After a short pause, they roughly identified the direction, and resolutely flew out of the Rock Wind and Thunder Cave, embarking on the journey back to Yinming Castle.

.........

"boom--"

There was a deafening roar, as if a giant beast that had broken free from the ancient abyss suddenly roared out from the rock, wind and thunder cave, accompanied by a gust of thunder and rock wind that raged across the sky and earth.

In the thunder rock wind, a dazzling vortex of thunder was spinning at high speed, containing terrifying energy that was enough to tear the sky apart.

In the vortex, a piece of Wind and Thunder Jade, which is about ten feet in size and emits a mixture of faint blue and silver light, is looming. It looks like the purest crystal between heaven and earth, or a treasure left behind by the God of Wind and Thunder, making people salivate.

The originally solid rocks around were instantly turned into fine dust under the impact of this force and drifted away with the wind.

In midair, an old man holding a long sword was suspended. His hair and beard were all white, and his eyes were as sharp as an eagle. He looked at the young man not far away and said with a bit of helplessness and persuasion:

"Mr. Ming, we have joined forces several times, but it is still difficult to shake the protective power of Feng Lei Ming Yu.

"Why not invite the top Half-Step Transformation Realm experts from each faction to come and conspire for this treasure together?"

The young man has a tall and straight figure, a handsome face, and an unyielding pride between his brows.

He was dressed in a white robe with cloud patterns and his sleeves fluttering in the wind, like an immortal walking out of a painting.

However, at this moment, his eyes were extremely complicated, showing both desire for Feng Lei Ming Yu and helplessness and unwillingness in facing reality.

He pursed his lips tightly and stared at the treasure in the vortex of thunder. "Ming Yifeng, although you are the top of the Thousand Kings List of the Seven Sects of Wenhe and have outstanding talent, the gap in cultivation cannot be made up in one go."

A middle-aged woman wearing a violet dress and with a beautiful face spoke slowly.

Then, a middle-aged man wearing black armor, with a stern face and sharp eyes, agreed:
“Yin Ming Wei also agreed with the proposal of Jian Xin Sect and Yan Yue Sect.

"This piece of Wind and Thunder Jade is very special. It requires the gathering of the strongest people at the peak of the Transformation Realm from all sides to obtain it."

As he finished speaking, the two leaders of Houtu Palace and Youlan Pavilion also nodded.

They each led a group of strong men, some wearing khaki robes, as if possessing the power of the earth; some wearing light gauze clothes, holding orchid fans in their hands, looking as elegant as fairies.

In the thunder rock wind, a wind and thunder jade over ten feet in size was suspended in the core of the thunder vortex, emitting an alluring light.

For any strong man at the peak of the Half-Step Transformation Realm, this item is a dream come true, enough to make people willing to risk their lives for it.

A Wind and Thunder Jade of this size is enough to increase the chances of a Yuan-zer sensing a heavenly tribulation by 50%, which means that he is one step closer to the Huawen realm.

For any force, if they can get this jade, it is equivalent to having the possibility of creating another powerful person in the Huawen realm, which is undoubtedly a leap forward in their overall strength.

As the undisputed number one prodigy on the Thousand Kings List of the Seven Sects of Wenhe, Ming Yifeng's talent and strength naturally need no further explanation.

If I could get the help of this Wind and Thunder Jade, my path to entering the Transformation Realm would be smoother in the future.

The desire and persistence flashed more and more fiercely in Ming Yifeng's eyes.

Before, Ming Yifeng thought that relying on the reputation of Lingyun Sect, he was able to intimidate the other heroes.

However, unexpectedly, in front of such a huge temptation of Feng Lei Ming Yu, all the titles became empty talk.

Although he felt unwilling in his heart, he also knew that it was nothing but a pipe dream for him to take the Wind and Thunder Jade alone among so many powerful people by his own strength.

Only by combining everyone's strength can they have a chance to get close to that vortex of violent thunder and seize the Wind and Thunder Jade.

Therefore, he took the initiative to propose to join forces with the strong men from all forces to seize this treasure.

However, even if many powerful forces joined forces, they still seemed powerless in the face of the thunder vortex separated from the thunder rock wind roll.

At this moment, the surrounding environment became distorted by this terrifying energy. Lightning and thunder were moving in the air like snakes, and strong winds were howling, blowing up dust and rocks all over the sky.

Ming Yifeng stood in mid-air, his robes fluttering in the wind, an unyielding aura surrounding him. Not far behind him, the disciples of Lingyun Sect all had solemn expressions on their faces.

The woman in white who had robbed Li Yuan and his men was also among them. She gritted her teeth, but there was helplessness in her eyes.

If the top-level Half-Step Huawen Realm warriors from various forces come here upon hearing the news, they will naturally not leave this opportunity to advance to the Huawen Realm to Ming Yifeng.

Ming Yifeng remained silent and did not respond.

The strong men from other forces stopped persuading him and chose to remain silent tacitly, secretly looking for an opportunity to pass the message to the nearby Half-Step Transformation Realm peak strong men.

Time seemed to stand still, with only the sounds of wind and thunder echoing around.

An unknown amount of time had passed before a figure wrapped in colorful lightning flames suddenly rushed out from among the many powerful men at an incredible speed, cutting through the sky and heading straight for the Feng Lei Ming Yu floating in the center of the thunder vortex.

This scene happened too suddenly, and because of the checks and balances among the various forces, Ming Yifeng and other strong men were unable to react in time and watched helplessly as the figure approached the target at lightning speed.

"Who are you, you bastard, to dare to act wildly here?"

The old man from Jianxin Sect was the first to come to his senses. His eyes were as sharp as knives and he shouted sternly.

The strong men around were also awakened and turned their eyes to the figure wrapped in colorful lightning flames.

"A kid at the peak of the late Yuanshen realm dares to touch this thing." Although Ming Yifeng's voice was light, it revealed indifference and contempt that could not be ignored.

However, the figure in the five-colored lightning flames didn't care. He sneered and responded, "Sir, aren't you also at the peak of the late Yuanshen realm?"

The simple conversation revealed the subtle contest and provocation between the two sides.

"He is Li Yuan!"

At this moment, the middle-aged man of Yinmingwei exclaimed.

The figure that rushed out violently was Li Yuan, who had been hiding among the Yuan people.

Before that, he silently injected a lightning seal into the body of the escaping Lingyun Sect member.

Originally, he planned to follow those people, find a place where the disciples of Lingyun Sect were concentratedly searching for the Wind and Thunder Jade, and then counterattack.

However, they did not expect that they would come directly here under the leadership of the leading woman.

After careful observation, Li Yuan roughly knew the identity of the woman in white.

This girl's name is Zhou Feiyan. She is the proud daughter of the Rulu Zhou family, one of the sixteen major families in Wenhe. She is also one of Ming Yifeng's four protectors.

Zhou Feiyan's strength is unfathomable, but what is most praised about her is the caution and rationality revealed in her actions. Faced with life and death decisions, she always remains calm and never takes risks easily.

Several major forces joined forces, and every time they tried to snatch the coveted huge Wind and Thunder Jade from the violent thunder vortex, Li Yuan would observe silently, while also trying to approach in his own way.

Li Yuan discovered that his control over the Wind and Thunder Jade seemed to be beyond the limitations of common sense and was not restricted by its size.

This discovery filled him with an indescribable excitement.

He guessed that it might be inextricably linked to the spiritual pattern of the Life-Devouring Bone in his body.

Once the Wind and Thunder Jade reaches half a foot in size, it already possesses spirituality that cannot be underestimated and is difficult to be controlled by a Yuan Master.

Therefore, most of the wind and thunder jades seen by the world are only the size of a fist, precious and rare.

The piece of wind and thunder jade in front of him, which was over ten feet in size, was like a legendary existence.

Seeing that several major forces were about to invite strong men in the Half-Step Transformation Realm to help, Li Yuan felt that he could not wait any longer and decided to give it a try and take the risk to directly seize the Wind and Thunder Jade.

As Li Yuan approached Feng Lei Ming Yu, the strong men from the surrounding major forces cast sarcastic and disdainful glances at him.

They seemed to have foreseen the tragic end that Li Yuan was about to face, and were waiting for Li Yuan to be reduced to ashes under the powerful force of those Half-Step Transformation Realm powerhouses.

"Humph, you ignorant boy, how dare you covet such a treasure!"

"You are only in the late stage of Yuan Shen realm, but you still want to get your hands on the essence of wind and thunder. How ridiculous!"

Accompanied by waves of sarcasm and ridicule, the Half-Step Transformation Realm experts from several major forces shouted angrily.

At the same time, the Yuan force surged and turned into dazzling dragon-like streaks, which suddenly slammed towards Li Yuan with the power to destroy the world.

this moment.

It seemed that the only sounds left between heaven and earth were the collision of the violent energy of these powerful men and the desperate figure of Li Yuan.
