Lord of Bones

Chapter 728: Falling Stars, Thunder and Flame

"Where's Muli?"

The Netherworld Black Anaconda only captured the slightly embarrassed figures of Li Yuan and the other two, and its voice was like a cold wind in the abyss.

There was a strong rage in his dark eyes, and his huge body was slightly curled up, ready to explode at any time.

Li Yuan smiled bitterly, shook his head, and said helplessly: "She has already escaped into the night. If you chase her immediately, you may still be able to catch her."

Hearing this, the Netherworld Ink Anaconda became even angrier. It suddenly opened its huge mouth, as if it could swallow all the light. Its low roar echoed in the valley: "How dare you, a mere ant, trespass into the forbidden area? Today I will let you know what despair is!"

Li Yuan's face turned grim, and he quickly sent a message to Si Xiaoyu and the others: "This battle is dangerous, and you two cannot intervene.

“I know you are very powerful, but you are forbearing because you have no power to rely on.

"At this moment, there is no need to hide your weaknesses, just go all out and protect yourself.

"I will face this beast alone and try to escape. You must follow me closely."

Seeing that Li Yuan and the other two did not respond, Netherworld Mo Anaconda sneered, "Why, from what I see, you guys are still planning on escaping from me?
"Take your life."

Before he finished speaking, the Netherworld Black Anaconda moved, and a bright light shone from its huge mouth.

An ancient and mysterious ingot flew out, accompanied by a deafening roar, and turned into an extremely sharp sword.

The sword gleamed like a silk thread, cutting through the night sky. It turned out to be a rare low-grade treasure from the earth, and its power was frightening.

The dense forest below was startled by this force. The branches and leaves trembled, and the night wind howled, adding a bit of solemn and murderous atmosphere.

A hint of Muli's aura was faintly revealed on the sharp sword. Although it was faint, it was real, which made Li Yuan secretly speculate that the two might have an unknown entanglement.

But at this moment, he had no time to care about anything else. The only thing in his mind was to get rid of this crisis as soon as possible to avoid exposing his identity.

Moreover, once a steady stream of beasts gather together, even a strong warrior in the Huawen realm will die here.

Li Yuan took a deep breath, and the energy in his body surged. A faint energy glow lingered around him. He looked at the flying sword of Dibao coming at him with no fear in his eyes, and shouted:
"Your cultivation is still shallow, and you have not yet reached the Transformation Realm. It is difficult for you to fully control the vast power of the Earth Treasure and unleash its full potential."

He waved his hand casually, and a scroll of Yuanwen quickly unfolded.

The ninety-nine elemental patterns on it flowed like the tracks of stars, instantly building an indestructible barrier that easily dissolved the attack of the sharp sword into nothingness.

Immediately afterwards, Li Yuan moved slightly, a flash of lightning appeared in his hand, and a longbow appeared out of thin air.

It was the Leiyuan Bow given by Cangyu. It was surrounded by flames of lightning, revealing an extraordinary aura.

Although the other ingots on Li Yuan's body are powerful, some strong men in Wenhe know a thing or two about them.

If Si Xiaoyu and the others spread the news, the risk of their identities being exposed would be extremely high, which might cause unnecessary trouble.

The energy in his body surged like a river, pouring into the Leiyuan Bow.

On the bow, lines of energy emerged, emitting dazzling light and pointing straight to the sky.

"Texture Technique: Falling Stars, Thunder and Flame!"

This was a form of tattooing that he had previously tried to create in the Jade Hall of Emperor Yin Lei, but it had not yet taken shape at that time.

Later, under Cangyu's guidance, it was finally refined.

A terrifying arrow containing the inheritance rules of Yu Yuan's bloodline came into being, with thunder and flames intertwined.

The arrow of lightning flame did not shoot directly at the Netherworld Black Anaconda, but shot straight into the sky.

Wherever it passed, the void was torn apart, forming circular shock waves that shook the monsters in the sky and made them flee in all directions.

Suddenly, the already turbulent clouds seemed to be ignited and turned into rolling thunderclouds. The sound of thunder was deafening, and the sky and the earth were shaking.

In an instant, the sky was torn apart by a tide of thunder and flame, and meteorites of thunder and flame poured down like the Last Judgment.

Not only did it penetrate the defenses set up by the Netherworld Ink Anaconda, it also set off a bloody storm among the army of monsters.

Howls of agony rang out one after another, countless monsters were turned into nothing under the destructive force, and the air was filled with a thick smell of blood.

When the Netherworld Ink Anaconda saw this scene, a strange color flashed in its eyes, but it did not reveal too much emotion.

It opened its huge mouth and a deep and strange black gas gushed out like a torrent.

"Texture Technique: Netherworld Ink Qi!"

The black gas expanded instantly, like an inky ocean, completely covering the space within a radius of hundreds of feet.

Everything was corroded by it, the sound of corrosion was endless, as if even the light was swallowed by it, and the whole world fell into chaos and despair.

"Senior brother! Senior brother!"

At the critical moment, Si Xiaoyu and another companion's voices were trembling and anxious.

They tried their best to maintain their own defense, but the drastic changes in the surrounding environment still made them feel unprecedented fear.

Li Yuan frowned slightly when he heard this, but his tone was very firm: "Don't panic.

“Although my cultivation is not as good as his, I have many Yuanwen scrolls on me, which are enough to deal with this situation.

"You just need to focus on protecting yourselves, and I will definitely take you back to the sect safely."

The Netherworld Black Energy was extremely tenacious. It not only swallowed up most of the thunder flame meteorites, but also gradually showed its terrifying power in the confrontation with Li Yuan's power.

The monster shrouded in ink seemed to be invaded by some evil force.

Their bodies swelled, twisted, and finally exploded under the erosion of the ink energy.

The blood, flesh and ink blended together to form an even more powerful force that swept towards Li Yuan and the other two.

This power was so strong that even Li Yuan couldn't help but be shocked: "What kind of evil magic is this?
"It can devour life so quickly and cruelly, and enhance the power of the elemental technique..."

Si Xiaoyu and her companions felt an unprecedented threat of death, and their eyes were filled with fear and dependence on Li Yuan.

At the critical moment, Li Yuan flicked his fingers, the ring flashed with light, and a scroll of Yuanwen flew out and was activated instantly.

With the infusion of Yuan Power, the complex and exquisite Yuan Patterns on the scroll seemed to be given life, interweaving and entwining to form an unprecedented huge Yuan Array.

Once this formation is completed, heaven and earth will change color.

The surrounding space seemed to be torn apart by a powerful force, and endless power of heavenly thunder gathered from the void, forming a terrifying scene of rolling thunderclouds and interweaving lightning.

The entire area instantly turned into a prison realm struck by thunder. Each bolt of lightning contained the power to destroy the heavens and the earth. It launched a devastating attack on the raging inky fog, like the wrath of heaven, bombarding every inch of space.

"A hundred elemental patterns of the Heavenly Thunder Prison Formation!"

As the overlord of this area, the Netherworld Black Anaconda naturally has extraordinary knowledge and recognized the Yuan Array activated by Li Yuan at a glance.

The hundreds of Yuan Patterns meant that this Yuan Formation had the absolute power to suppress all Yuan practitioners below the Huawen Realm.

Within the formation, thunder and lightning clashed fiercely with black energy, as if two irreconcilable forces were fighting a life-and-death battle.

Thunder roared, like thousands of volcanoes erupting at the same time, releasing endless destructive power. The black air rolled, like a demon from the abyss struggling and roaring, trying to devour all light and vitality.

When the two collided, the space was torn apart, and countless thunders and inky fragments intertwined.

The Netherworld Ink Anaconda sensed an unprecedented crisis and immediately switched from offense to defense. An even stronger ink energy surged throughout its body, wrapping itself tightly like a black torrent.

This layer of ink energy not only has amazing defensive capabilities, but also contains the power of corrosion and devouring, trying to resist the overwhelming thunder and lightning storm.

However, the power of the Heavenly Thunder Prison Array was far beyond his imagination.

Even under layers of protection, the Netherworld Ink Anaconda still felt the trembling and despair from the depths of its soul.

Li Yuan quickly glanced at the chaotic army of monsters outside the Heavenly Thunder Prison Formation, and they were fleeing in all directions due to the pressure of the Yuan Formation.

This was the perfect time to escape. Without hesitation, he flashed away, as fast as a cheetah hunting.

Grabbing Si Xiaoyu and another companion, his energy was boiling, and he said in a low voice: "Use all your energy to protect your body. I want to activate the random transmission scroll and leave."

As the words fell, the space seemed to be torn apart by an invisible hand. Li Yuan and the other two were instantly enveloped by this force. Their figures disappeared from the spot, leaving only faint ripples in space, which slowly dissipated in the interweaving of lightning and ink.

A series of short-distance space teleportations, accompanied by drastic changes in the surrounding environment, from the prison realm ravaged by thunder and lightning to the dark and dense forest, and then to the vast grassland, until finally far away from the land of death, Li Yuan and the other two appeared with a hint of relief in their eyes.

"Finally I escaped." Si Xiaoyu let out a long breath, her chest heaving. It was obvious that the previous tension and fear had not completely dissipated.

She looked at Li Yuan, her eyes full of gratitude and admiration: "If it weren't for my senior brother who had so many heaven-defying Yuanwen scrolls, I'm afraid we really wouldn't be able to escape this disaster.

"It's just a pity that the scroll with a hundred elemental patterns is worth almost enough to exchange for a mid-grade earth treasure, but you used it without hesitation."

Li Yuan smiled slightly and said, "No matter how precious the treasure is, it is not as important as life.

“What’s more, they are meant to protect yourself and those around you at critical moments.

"I still have quite a few Yuanwen scrolls in my hand, so it won't be a big deal if I use up a few."

Upon hearing this, Si Xiaoyu and the other person looked at each other with shock in their eyes.

They secretly speculated in their hearts that when Li Yuan and the Nine Guards of Yunyin worked together to deal with the Netherworld Black Anaconda before, they might have relied on these powerful Yuanwen scrolls to survive the desperate situation.

However, Li Yuan did not show his cultivation level of Half-Step Transformation Realm in front of Si Xiaoyu and the others.

Even when performing the Yuanwen technique, it was performed under the protection of a scroll of ninety-nine Yuanwens in order to avoid unnecessary trouble.

At this moment, his life-saving grace to Si Xiaoyu and the other person undoubtedly added a layer of deep trust to their relationship.

After returning to the sect, even if someone questioned him, Li Yuan was confident that he could handle it calmly.

His eyes penetrated the thick clouds and mist at night, looking at the army of monsters surging like a tide at the edge of the sky:

"You two, this is not the time to slack off.

"Everyone took out their gold ingots and galloped at full speed.

“After returning to the sect, I hope you two can keep today’s events secret.

“Especially regarding the Yuanwen scroll in my hand.

"We only told the public that Senior Sister Muli assisted us at the critical moment and that's how we escaped from danger."

Upon hearing this, the guardian beside Si Xiaoyu nodded solemnly and said, "Don't worry, Senior Brother, although Jiang Bo is not talented, he knows how to repay a favor.

"This matter concerns the safety of my brother, I must keep my mouth shut."

He paused, his tone slightly worried: "But if Senior Sister Mu Li denies this, the two of us may face criticism from the sect."

It was not until this moment that Li Yuan knew the name of the guardian who had always been with Si Xiaoyu.

He waved his hand and said, “Don’t worry about this.

"Senior Sister Mu Li is currently carrying out a secret mission, and her return date may be more than ten years from now.

“By then, the three of us will have entered the Half-Step Transformation Realm and our strength will have skyrocketed. Senior Sister Mu Li will understand our difficulties.

"Even if the sect masters knew that I had the Yuanwen scroll, it would not have any impact."

"Did Senior Sister Mu Li go on a secret mission?" Jiang Bo and Si Xiaoyu asked in surprise.

Seeing this, Li Yuan said with a hint of mystery and warning: "This matter is beyond our ability to pry into. We just need to pretend that we know nothing."

Back to the point, Li Yuan turned to mention the gains from this mission: "You two have also gained a lot this time, those monster inner pills can definitely be exchanged for a lot of contribution points.

"Si Xiaoyu, I promised you that you would get 3,000 of the 12,000 contribution points earned from the mission.

"After you return to the sect, with your current contribution points accumulated, and with the help of some small tasks, it will be just around the corner for you to become a formal inner sect guardian."

Si Xiaoyu's eyes flashed with joy, and she nodded slightly: "Thank you, Senior Brother.

"I will continue to work hard and strive to become a formal inner sect guardian as soon as possible."

Li Yuan then turned to Jiang Bo and asked, "Jiang Bo, do you have any objection to this allocation?"

Jiang Bo bowed quickly and answered sincerely, "Brother, your words are too kind. How could I have any objection?
“If it weren’t for my senior brother’s efforts to save the situation, I would have been killed by the monster.

"The contribution points exchanged for those demon beast inner cores are a pleasant surprise to me."

Seeing that the two had no objection, Li Yuan said seriously: "In this case, we should not stay here for long. We should go to the nearest teleportation point as soon as possible and return to the sect."

After saying that, the three of them simultaneously offered up their own ingots. Under the night sky, the light was bright, just like stars falling into the mortal world.

Li Yuan stepped on a long sword that was shining brightly, like a meteor that streaked across the night sky, leaving behind a series of bright and gorgeous trails.

Si Xiaoyu followed closely behind, riding on a delicate jade plate.

The edge of the jade plate is inlaid with tiny gems, which sparkle softly and mysteriously in the night.

Jiang Bo was not willing to be left behind, he followed closely behind Li Yuan with an ancient spear under his feet.

The three of them shuttled between the night and the sea of ​​clouds. The army of monsters in the sky behind them continued to roar, but at this moment, they could only become the background.

.........

Shuiyun Peak is like a vast fairyland, beautiful, magnificent and full of energy.

It seems as if the purest energy between heaven and earth has gathered here, and every inch of land exudes vitality, with beautiful mountains and clear waters, and shrouded in clouds and mist.

Li Yuan returned to the sect, said goodbye to Si Xiaoyu and Jiang Bo, and hurried to Yunren Pavilion.

The danger of the beast tide has become a thing of the past and has nothing to do with him anymore.

As for the Nine Yunyin Guards led by Senior Brother Yu, they eventually perished under the ravages of the Netherworld Black Anaconda.

All this has nothing to do with him.
