Lord of Bones

Chapter 715 Goodbye Cangyu
The sky beneath the energy shield formed by the protective array of Shadow Villa was covered with dense clouds, but they were not natural clouds. Instead, they were formed by the interweaving and convergence of endless energy.

"Rumble--"

They rolled and collided, accompanied by loud roars that shook the earth and heaven, like the whispering of ancient gods, and like the end of the world is about to come.

Li Yuan and Yuan Yao stood on a relatively safe high ground, their eyes penetrating through layers of clouds and energy fluctuations, gazing at the golden and black sky deep in the villa.

The golden light is as dazzling as the sun, while the black light is as deep as the night.

The interweaving of two completely opposite colors not only dyed half of the sky, but also distorted the surrounding space to the point that tiny cracks appeared.

The air around became extremely heavy due to the huge energy.

At the gate area of ​​the villa, the two groups that were originally fighting fiercely, as the changes deep in the villa intensified, their movements became slower at the same time.

All the Yuanists had expressions of shock on their faces. They kept looking up at the sky where energy was raging, their hearts filled with fear of the powerful force.

Some Yuanzhe with weaker cultivation even began to retreat, realizing that if they continued to stay here, they would only become victims.

As for those powerful people with profound cultivation, although they remained calm on the surface, their hearts were also in turmoil.

Once that kind of power is suppressed, the entire Shadow Villa and even the surrounding areas will face a catastrophic disaster.

"Rumble--"

The thunder roared like the wrath of a god, shaking Shadow Villa.

The energy pressure was like an invisible giant hand, squeezing the surrounding space fiercely, causing Yuan Yao's body to tremble involuntarily. She suddenly fell on Li Yuan's broad shoulders, clutching his lapels tightly with both hands.

Li Yuan's tall figure stood firm in the strong wind. He tilted his head slightly, Yuan Yao's slightly flustered face reflected in his deep eyes, and a gentle smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"Why is she here? Is she here for Huan Yuzhu too?" Li Yuan turned his gaze back to the depths of the villa and whispered to himself.

Although his voice was faint, it revealed some complex emotions, as if he was both looking forward to and worried about meeting his old friend.

Hearing this, Yuan Yao turned to look at Li Yuan's face, which was so close and had clear outlines. His eyes, which seemed to be able to see through people's hearts, were now staring into the distance. She couldn't help but ask, "Do you know him?"

Li Yuan nodded slightly and said in a deep voice: "That woman is a good friend of mine. I knew her before I found you.

"Time flies, and it has been seventy years since we last saw each other.

"Let's go over and take a look. Maybe Huan Yuzhu is there."

He stepped forward, and his figure turned into a ray of lightning, rushing towards the center of the terrifying battle circle.

Yuan Yao clung tightly to his shoulders, feeling the lightning speed.

As they approached, the intensity of the battle became more and more palpable.

The sky was torn apart, and golden and black light intertwined, covering the heaven and earth.

"Bam—"

The collision of the two lights was like the falling of stars, and the earth trembled.

The surrounding environment was completely changed due to the impact of the aftermath of the battle.

The trees were broken in half, the rocks collapsed, and the whole place was in a mess.

Yuan Yao pressed against Li Yuan's shoulder and asked, "Do you really want to go over there?
"Looking at their methods, even if you and I merge together, we will be blasted into a bloody mist in an instant. It's better not to go over there.

"Phantom Jade Bamboo is only a special precious medicine. As long as you offer a high reward, you will definitely be able to find it in Wen River."

Li Yuan seemed to see through her thoughts and whispered, "Phantom Jade Bamboo is quite rare, so I guess we have to exchange it for something else.

“If the owner doesn’t have something that appeals to him, it’s hard to exchange it.

"Don't worry, I'm here."

His words eased Yuan Yao's uneasiness a little.

"Do you really want to go over there?" Yuan Yao confirmed again.

Li Yuan looked into the distance with a determined gaze and consoled him, "I have obtained many Yuanwen scrolls in the Jade Palace of Xuanyin Thunder Realm, all of which can withstand the attack of a Huawen realm expert.

"The time to resist the fatal blow is enough for us to escape safely."

He moved and continued to rush towards the depths of Shadow Villa.

Yuan Yao said nothing more upon seeing this. Her petite body, half a foot tall, instantly turned into a brilliant stream of light and sank into Li Yuan's body.

The wings of thunder and flame behind Li Yuan spread out with a bang, accompanied by deafening thunder and a blazing fire storm.

He stuck close to the top of the staggered buildings of Shadow Villa and flew by at a speed that was almost like teleportation.

Along the way, the scenery inside the villa passed by quickly.

The quaint pavilions, winding paths, and carefully trimmed exotic flowers and plants were all eroded by the aftermath of the battle between the two powerful men.

In just a few breaths, Li Yuan had approached the core area of ​​the battle circle.

Above the sky, energy fluctuations were extremely violent, and space was twisting, trembling and breaking.

The confrontation between the two powerful men in the Huawen realm and the unleashed pressure were so great that even someone with Li Yuan's level of cultivation couldn't help but feel palpitations, as if the whole world was pressing on his shoulders.

The formation guarding the villa seemed extremely fragile under the impact of such force.

The energy shield formed by countless elemental patterns is shaking violently at this moment and may collapse at any time.

Dozens of miles away from the earth-shaking battle circle, Li Yuan stopped quietly.

He landed lightly on a huge rock that had been carved into sharp corners by time, and quietly looked at the thrilling battle in the sky.

The thick fog covered the sky above the villa like a heavy veil, and the light of the protective array was faintly visible in the thick fog.

Black and gold energies seemed to be spreading freely in the chaotic sky.

The woman in red armor and dress with gold patterns had extremely graceful curves, outlining a breathtakingly graceful figure. She was like the god of war descending, and her figure was particularly dazzling in the light.

The golden hair was like a waterfall, dancing wildly in the wind, and every strand seemed to contain endless power.

The skin is whiter than snow and looks even more crystal clear under the light.

The golden eyes are sharp and deep, as if they can see through everything in the world and emit a scorching light.

She is both heroic and noble, as if she is above everything in the world.

Her jade hand spun lightly, her movements graceful and powerful, and she held an eight-foot-long spear, the shaft of which glowed with brilliant gold and red.

The person confronting her was a burly man who was nearly a meter tall. He was dressed in a black robe, his face hidden under a ghost mask, revealing only a pair of eyes that flashed with ferocity.

Every step the ghost-faced man took was accompanied by a violent tremor in the void beneath his feet.

He held a large black-ringed sword in his hand, the blade was thick and surrounded by black air.

As it swung, a deafening sound of breaking through the air followed, emitting a terrifying aura. "Both of them are actually top-notch masters in the late stage of Huawen Realm." Yuan Yao's voice sounded softly in Li Yuan's mind, "Is that sister your friend?"

"Yes." Li Yuan looked at the blonde with golden eyes excitedly, with a complex look in his eyes. "She is not a human, but a Yuan Beast like you."

Yuan Yao wanted to ask something else, but the two powerful men who were fighting in the sky suddenly separated and confronted each other thousands of feet apart.

"Sir, you should be the ancestor of a faction, but you actually engage in such sneaky behavior. Don't you think it is against your status and style?" The voice of the ghost-faced man echoed in the sky like thunder, his black robe fluttering, like an insolent demon god.

The blonde woman with golden eyes turned slightly when she heard that. A hint of coldness flashed across her beautiful eyes, but was quickly replaced by indifference.

She raised her jade hand slightly, and lightly tapped the air with her golden-red spear: "I am here only to obtain a few sections of Magic Jade Bamboo, nothing else."

"How many sections of Magic Jade Bamboo?" The ghost-faced man raised a playful smile and glanced back and forth at the blonde with golden eyes, "How can the Magic Jade Bamboo of Shadow Villa be something that can be easily obtained?
"If it is really that simple, why would so many forces in Wenhe flock to it?"

The blonde with golden eyes remained calm and said, "Of course I know how precious Huan Yuzhu is.

"I am willing to exchange the items you need, just a few sections to solve the urgent problem."

"Exchange?" Upon hearing this, the ghost-faced man laughed out loud, his laughter full of mockery and disdain, "How can the Huanyuzhu of Youying Villa be easily exchanged?

“There is no precedent for selling it to foreign countries.

"I have some doubts about your true intentions. Please hand over the ring to me for inspection."

Li Yuan and Yuan Yao, who were hiding behind the rocks, heard the conversation clearly.

Yuan Yao muttered in confusion: "It's just a few bamboos, and you still have to check other people's auras."

Li Yuan frowned and said in a deep voice: "That guy must have other purposes. He probably wants to find out her identity or has other intentions."

Above the sky, the blonde woman with golden eyes frowned slightly, obviously displeased by the burly man's aggressiveness.

But her tone remained calm and noble: "I'm sorry, there are many personal things in my ring that cannot be shown to others.

“Besides, I haven’t got the Magical Jade Bamboo yet.

“I can assure you that I mean no harm.

"I am willing to exchange three hundred Earthly Primordial Stones for three sections of Magical Jade Bamboo."

The ghost-faced man shook his head with a look of disdain on his face: "I am not interested in Yuanshi.

"If you can use Yuanshi to exchange for Huanyu Bamboo in Wenhe River, then why are there so many desperate people who risk their lives to steal it every time Huanyu Bamboo matures?"

Then he changed the subject, with a hint of amusement in his tone: "How about this, you stay in the villa for a while and intimidate those villains for me.

"After the Magical Jade Bamboo dries naturally in the shade, I will give you a few sections. How about that?"

Hearing this, the blonde woman's face changed slightly, a hint of coldness flashed across her golden pupils, and she said lightly: "Could it be that you are the helper invited by the demon eagle?
"Otherwise, why would they go to such great lengths just for a few sections of Phantom Jade Bamboo?

"What's more, I have just stepped into the villa."

"Haha." The ghost-faced man laughed loudly, shaking the surrounding leaves rustling, "I am here to guard it, to prevent Huan Yuzhu from falling into the hands of others.

“I just happened to learn that a new hunting mission had been issued in the building, and you appeared at this time. It was just a coincidence.

“Now, I am quite interested in your true form.

“If you were in your prime, I might not dare to provoke you easily.

“But now, you have been severely injured in a fierce battle with the Thunder-Breaking Demon Eagle. It will take you at least 10 to 20 years to recover.

"I never thought that the first time the building arranged a Huawen Realm to guard the villa would let me encounter a big fish like you."

"She is injured?" Li Yuan's heart tightened suddenly when he heard this, his face changed suddenly, and he flipped his palm, and a Yuanwen scroll appeared in his hand.

The Yuan patterns on the scroll were flowing, emitting a faint light, and he was ready to take action at any time.

"Li Yuan, don't move rashly. You are not his opponent yet." As soon as Li Yuan made a move, the voice of the blonde woman with golden eyes rang in his mind.

The woman with blonde hair and golden eyes was none other than Yuan Cangyu, the Yuan Beast Feather.

Hearing this, Li Yuan's nervousness eased a little, and he said in a voice transmission: "You already knew I was here."

Cang Yu's voice rang out in Li Yuan's mind: "There is a special connection between our Yuan bones, have you forgotten?
“If it weren’t for the subtle and indescribable connection between the Yuan bones, I wouldn’t dare to easily confirm that it was you.

“It seems that the Yuan bone in your body has been completely formed, and that special sensation has weakened a lot compared to the past.

"I didn't expect that in just seventy years, you would actually step into the Half-Step Transformation Realm."

"You are injured. Is it serious?" Li Yuan frowned. This was not the time to chat, so he asked with concern.

"I can still handle it." Cang Yu's voice sounded calm, "You should be here for Huan Yuzhu as well.

“I have searched the entire villa carefully, and the only place left is the mountain wall in front.

“There should be a cave hidden inside. I haven’t had time to check it out yet. The Magic Jade Bamboo is probably hidden there, being dried in the shade.

"I will tie this man up, and you can find the right time to go in and investigate."

After that, Cang Yu raised his head, a look of determination appeared in his golden pupils, and he shouted to the ghost-faced man in the sky: "Even if I am hit by that demon eagle, you can't easily defeat me!"

The spear in her hand pointed to the sky, and the tip seemed to condense the purest golden flame essence between heaven and earth, like the eye of a god, seeing through the mysteries of the sky.

With a low groan, Cang Yu swung his spear violently, and a dazzling golden-red energy beam, like a comet streaking through the night sky, with the power to destroy the world, struck directly at the protective formation suspended in the sky.

"Bam—"

The energy shield formed by the protective array immediately began to ripple, and a deafening roar erupted as it intertwined and collided with the golden and red elemental light beams.

Below the formation, the originally calm sky suddenly changed color, and clouds of fire rolled endlessly, as if the anger of the entire world was concentrated there.

In a flash, raging flames ignited deep in the clouds, forming a sea of ​​fire.

Countless elemental patterns slowly emerged, each of which contained the power of heaven and earth.

A giant golden-red fireball shot out from the sea of ​​fire, dragging a long tail of flames, and streaked across the sky like a meteor shower.

Each one contained terrifying heat that was enough to burn mountains and boil seas, distorting the surrounding space into a blur.

"Chichi-"

The fireball fell faster and faster, igniting the air wherever it passed.

"Humph, if you're injured, you should find a place to heal." Looking at the fireballs sweeping across the sky, the ghost-faced man shouted coldly, "I want to see what your true form is.

"When I absorb your Yuan bone and my cultivation level increases greatly, I will definitely thank you very much."

The figure was as steady as a mountain. The ghost-faced man had a cruel smile on his face and a desire for power in his eyes.
