Lord of Bones

Chapter 699: Strong Shock
"Boy, you are so presumptuous!"

Upon seeing this, Xiong Lei roared with tremendous rage, as if he wanted to shatter the entire cave.

He rushed forward violently, the energy in his body surged out, and he spread his arms.

Suddenly, an earthy yellow light emanated from his body, dyeing the surrounding air with the color of the earth.

"Shock the Mountain Bear Shadow Technique!"

Xiong Lei let out an earth-shaking roar, as if to awaken the sleeping god of the earth.

As his voice fell, a huge bear shadow slowly formed behind him.

The bear shadow has a strong build, with muscular body, every hair of his is as hard as rock, and his eyes are like burning torches, releasing a shocking pressure.

Stirred by this force, the surrounding dust was blown up by the strong wind, forming thick clouds that raged in the cave.

The phantom of the bear suddenly took a step forward, and the ground could not bear its weight, and instantly cracked into shocking cracks.

The cracks spread rapidly like a spider web, extending to where Li Yuan was.

Facing Xiong Lei's attack that was as overwhelming as a mountain, Li Yuan's eyes not only did not show any fear, but instead became even colder than frost.

He clenched his palms lightly, and suddenly, colorful lightning flames surged and intertwined wildly, and finally condensed into a dazzling lightning flame fist at the tip of his fist.

A punch was thrown out, a fist of thunder and flame, with surging Yuanli, tearing the sky apart, making a sharp whistling sound, like a rushing river, rushing towards the huge bear shadow with unparalleled power.

"boom--"

The fist bears collided fiercely, and the air seemed to freeze in an instant.

Then, an astonishing air wave suddenly erupted with the collision point as the center, sweeping around.

Wherever the air wave passed, the rubble on the ground seemed to have suffered a devastating disaster and was instantly crushed into powder by the violent Yuan power. The stones were then swept into the air wave, turning into smoke and dust that filled the sky and blocked the view.

The light in the cave became dim at this moment, and only two figures could be vaguely seen in the smoke and dust, as if they were two gods of war standing in the center of the storm.

The faces of several Yuanzhe from the Hall of Beasts suddenly changed, and they retreated hastily, trying to stay away from the devastating battlefield.

But their eyes were as if attracted by a magnet, fixed on the chaotic land ahead.

The smoke and dust gradually dissipated, and two figures became clearer.

The rough Xiong Lei's shoulders trembled violently, and he was actually knocked back dozens of feet by Li Yuan's thunder strike.

The ground beneath his feet could not withstand the horrible force, and his feet scraped a half-foot deep groove on the ground.

Before Xiong Lei could steady himself, a dull sound came from his throat.

"Pfft!"

Then, a mouthful of blood spurted out like a fountain, staining his clothes red. His face turned pale and his eyes were full of disbelief and horror.

On the other hand, Li Yuan was still standing there, his clothes rustling, his hair blowing in the wind, and there was no fluctuation on his face.

It seemed as if the earth-shattering blow just now was just a piece of cake for him.

His figure stood out in the dim cave, like an invincible god of war.

She Yuniang's gaze moved back and forth between Li Yuan and Xiong Lei, with a look of shock in her eyes.

Xiong Lei, whose strength had reached the semi-successful stage of the Half-Step Transformation Realm, was so easily repelled and injured.

This strength was far beyond what she could have imagined.

She couldn't help but ask herself, if she were to face Li Yuan, she would probably be defeated.

Su Yimo stood aside, with complicated emotions in her beautiful eyes.

Although he knew that Li Yuan was quite powerful and that Ming Yifeng, who was once number one on the Thousand Kings List, had been defeated by him, he had never seen it with his own eyes.

But at this moment, seeing Li Yuan defeat Xiong Lei so powerfully, he couldn't help but feel shocked and touched.

The look she gave Li Yuan was filled with admiration and a hint of subtle tenderness.

Li Yuan slowly retracted his fist, his movements smooth and powerful.

His eyes were indifferent, yet revealed an unquestionable majesty as he glanced at the people in the Hall of Beasts.

Under his gaze, those people involuntarily took a few steps back, their eyes flickering, not daring to meet his gaze.

"Are you still going to fight?" Li Yuan finally set his eyes on She Yuniang. "If you fight again, it won't be as simple as just getting hurt."

She Yu Niang's expression changed several times in an instant, and she finally remembered something: "You are... the Li Yuan who threw himself into the Thunder Rock Wind Scroll and became famous in Wenhe more than ten years ago?"

Hearing this, Li Yuan's mouth curved into an arc: "I didn't expect that a person like She Yu Niang would remember Li's name. It's really an honor."

"You...you have advanced to the Half-Step Transformation Realm?" She Yuniang asked hesitantly.

Li Yuan nodded gently and said, "If you also want to give it a try, I will accompany you."

The people in the Hall of Beasts looked at each other in dismay. If they continued to fight, they might die here.

"Today's incident was indeed due to our recklessness. We never expected that Miss Su Yimo was actually Brother Li's friend. I am really sorry."

She Yuniang's attitude softened significantly, and when she looked at Su Yimo, there was more apology and friendliness in her eyes.

Then, she turned her gaze to the middle-aged man lying unconscious on the ground and Xiong Lei who was silent beside him: "We will leave now and not disturb you two."

After saying that, She Yuniang waved her hand lightly, and the Yuanzhe from the Hall of Beasts took the middle-aged man on the ground and disappeared into the dim and winding cave in the blink of an eye.

Seeing the strong men from the Hall of Beasts retreating like a tide, Su Yimo's eyes showed surprise, and he muttered in his heart: "Shouldn't we leave?
"Why did the other party leave first so resolutely?"

She had never expected that in just over twenty years, Li Yuan had raised his cultivation from the middle stage of Yuanshen Realm to the Half-Step Huawen Realm.

This made her thoughts like catkins blown away by the breeze, difficult to gather for a while.

Li Yuan arrived beside Su Yimo in a few steps. He scanned the surroundings with sharp eyes and asked, "There should be fellow disciples from your Lingyun Sect nearby, right?"

Su Yimo came back to his senses after hearing this and nodded gently: "Although the special environment here makes the induction between the ingots weak, I can still sense their approximate location."

"In the face of endless temptations, the identity of a disciple of Lingyun Sect may become a double-edged sword." Li Yuan's lips curled up into a smile.

Seeing Su Yimo silent, Li Yuan sighed and continued, "The Miss Su I know is always full of energy, not this calm.

"I will escort you to your fellow disciples first. Lead the way."

Those who can enter here are probably like entering a fog, with everything around them full of unknowns. Li Yuan is the same.

Since he had no clue, he became Su Yimo's bodyguard to pay off his guilt for secretly taking away the treasure saliva from the ground.

Su Yimo opened her red lips and uttered a simple "hmm".

She stretched out her body, like a stream of light moving between the rocks.

Li Yuan followed closely and soon left the cave.

.........

According to the unique ingot induction of Su Yimo Sect, she and Li Yuan gradually went deeper into the dark and mysterious space. Time seemed to be stretched, and every moment carried unknown dangers.

Suddenly, the darkness around was instantly replaced by a scarlet light.

The light was blazing and dazzling, like the most gorgeous sunset pouring down from the sky, but it also carried a terrifying heat that was enough to melt everything.

Li Yuan and Su Yimo reacted almost at the same time, and the energy in their bodies surged out like a river bursting its banks.

It turned into a thin but tough shield, tightly wrapping the body and resisting the raging fire waves.

Ripples appeared on the surface of the shield, colliding violently with the surrounding heat waves, making a "hissing" sound, as if even the air was ignited at this moment.

When the heat wave subsided a little, the sight before them made the two of them gasp.

A red lava lake appeared in front of them, with blazing flames and boiling magma on the surface, like nature's wildest rage raging in the dark underground.

Each drop of magma contained enough power to burn mountains and boil seas. They collided with each other, splashing countless sparks and illuminating the entire space like hell.

The lava lake is surrounded by a solid barrier made of black rocks.

The surface of the rock is pitted by the erosion of time and high temperature, but it still stands.

Occasionally, you can see wisps of magma seeping out from tiny cracks, adding a bit of liveliness and uneasiness.

In the center and around the lava lake, there are no less than a hundred huge furnaces scattered in an orderly manner.

These furnaces have various shapes, some are elegant with intricate totems carved on them; others are delicate but exude a powerful aura, all are half submerged in magma.

When Li Yuan was concentrating on the magnificent scene of the lava lake, Su Yimo beside him suddenly exclaimed in surprise: "It's Sister Chu, they are there!"

Li Yuan looked in the direction she pointed, and saw nearly a thousand figures standing in an orderly manner on dozens of huge rocks by the lava lake.

They were either talking to each other or on guard, and the atmosphere was tense.

Among them there are also powerful ones whose cultivation has reached the peak of the Half-Step Transformation Realm.

Li Yuan roughly scanned with his soul power and found that there were more than thirty such strong men, all of whom came from the first- and second-rate forces in Wenhe Region, such as Lingyun Sect, Tianyun Sect, Xuesha Lake, etc.

"It seems that this is probably where the Yuyan Fan is stored." Li Yuan thought to himself.

Su Yimo turned to look at Li Yuan and said softly, "Let's go over there."

Li Yuan heard this and felt a complicated emotion in his heart. He shook his head gently, trying to refuse:

"Since I have safely sent you to your fellow disciples, my mission is accomplished.

"You go there on your own."

The words seem to avoid some unnecessary trouble.

Su Yimo did not give up and explained: “Li Yuan, there is no deep hatred between you and Lingyun Sect.

“If there is, it is just the personal grudge between you and Brother Yifeng.

"Here, what we pursue are natural resources and opportunities, and everything depends on strength.

“Brother Yifeng was unable to obtain the Wind and Thunder Jade, it can only be said that fate has not arrived.

"Although you are wanted by Lingyun Sect, that is just a reward within the sect and cannot represent the attitude of the entire Lingyun Sect."

"A wanted poster with a reward?" Li Yuan frowned and asked half-jokingly, "Is the reward high?

"You're not planning on using me to claim the bounty, are you?"

Su Yimo smiled slightly, her smile was as gentle as spring breeze and rain: "What? Are you scared?

“Don’t worry, I, Su Yimo, am not that kind of person.

"What's more, with your current strength, I'm afraid there are only a few Yuan masters below the Huawen realm who can really threaten you."

Hearing this, Li Yuan's mouth twitched and he smiled bitterly: "Two fists cannot beat four hands. If we are surrounded, it will be troublesome."

Seeing this, Su Yimo patted his shoulder gently and encouraged him, “Let’s go, don’t think too much.

“Besides, you should go meet Sister Chu. You haven’t seen her for more than 20 years.

"She is now a strong person who has reached the half-step transformation realm."

Having said that, Su Yimo pulled Li Yuan's hand without saying anything, and moved like two gusts of wind, quickly rushing towards the location where Chu Luyan and her fellow disciples of Lingyun Sect were.

"Sister Chu!" Su Yimo's clear voice penetrated the hustle and bustle of the lava lake. With a hint of joy of reunion after a long separation, she waved her arms as if to dispel all the distance between the two.

The woman with a face like exquisite porcelain and skin whiter than snow turned around gently when she heard that.

As his eyes moved, the chill that emanated from his bones seemed to soften a little.

But it still maintains that cool temperament, like a solitary lotus on the top of a snowy mountain.

Li Yuan followed beside him, feeling mixed emotions, and sighed, "It's still the same as it was back then."

After a few flashes, the two men were standing firmly in front of Chu Luyan.

"Li Yuan...you are still alive." A cold female voice suddenly sounded.

Looking in the direction of the sound, I saw a woman in a white dress, with a graceful figure and long hair like a waterfall standing not far away. Her eyes were like a chill breeze in winter, piercing people's hearts.

Seeing this, Su Yimo immediately stood in front of Li Yuan, spread her hands, and said firmly: "Sister Zhou, Li Yuan saved me before, you are not allowed to fight with him."

Li Yuan's eyes narrowed slightly as he looked at the woman in white. He frowned and said inwardly, "Zhou Feiyan... as one of Ming Yifeng's four guardians, she hasn't left the Xuanyin Thunder Region yet."

Chu Luyan obviously also noticed the subtle change in the atmosphere, and hurriedly stepped forward and said, "We are all friends. The most important thing now is to find opportunities, not to settle grudges."

Su Yimo took the opportunity to add: "Yes, Sister Zhou, Li Yuan has now broken through to the Half-Step Transformation Realm. You may not be able to defeat him."

As soon as these words were spoken, Chu Luyan and Zhou Feiyan's beautiful eyes showed shock at the same time.

Even several powerful men from the Lingyun Sect nearby looked sideways, with curiosity and scrutiny in their eyes.

In order to ease the tense atmosphere that almost froze the air, Chu Luyan's usually cold face showed a rare warm smile: "Li Yuan, congratulations, your strength has greatly improved."

Then, Chu Luyan gently turned sideways and introduced several Lingyun Sect strongmen beside her to Li Yuan one by one with an elegant posture, trying to narrow the distance between Li Yuan and everyone.

"This is Xiao Yunyi from the Lingnan Xiao family. He is good at wind-related elemental arts. His family is known as the 'Wind Walker' among the hundreds of families in Wenhe.

“Lin Fei of the Boling Lin Clan is proficient in wood elemental energy and has a gentle personality.

"Wang Xiaotian of the Yuanlang Wang Clan is extremely powerful and famous for his earth-based elemental arts.

"And Bai Wanqing of the Shengxiang Bai family is a leader in wood elemental energy, and her family is famous for its alchemy skills."

Every time Chu Luyan introduced someone, the other person nodded gently in greeting, and the distance between them seemed to be shortened as their Yuan Power fluctuated.

As Chu Luyan and Su Yimo exchanged tacit glances, the other four Lingyun Sect warriors had no choice but to join in persuading Zhou Feiyan.

They tried to ease Zhou Feiyan's resentment in various ways, either by speaking softly or using humor.
