Lord of Bones

Chapter 730: Zhenxun Longao
Li Yuan no longer hesitated, and the energy in his body surged.

His figure instantly turned into a shadow, and he performed space teleportation, crossing a distance of hundreds of feet in an instant and appeared in the center of the beam.

At this moment, Li Yuan's nerves were tense to the extreme.

He carefully activated the spiritual pattern of the Life-Devouring Bone in his body.

An unprecedented powerful suction force suddenly enveloped the piece of celestial bone.

The piece of heavenly bone seemed to feel threatened, and the elemental patterns around it began to fluctuate violently, releasing waves of resistance force.

But Li Yuan had already drawn the arrow to shoot.

He clenched his teeth and increased his energy output. The suction in his palm became stronger and stronger, as if it wanted to swallow up the entire space.

With a slight clicking sound, the piece of heavenly bone was forcibly pulled out from the beam and suspended in the air, shining brightly.

Li Yuan thought to himself, “Mu Li will definitely have a chance to come and get it herself.

“But with only the Earth Bone she possesses, it is difficult to shake the Sky Bone in the slightest.

"There is a risk that it will backfire and turn into nourishment."

The reason why he was able to succeed in an instant was all due to the extraordinary help of the Spiritual Pattern Life-Devouring Bone.

The moment after the Heavenly Bone separated from the beam, the hall seemed to be struck by some kind of restriction, and the entire space shook.

At the same time, the energy of heaven and earth in the hall seemed to be attracted by something and gathered towards where Li Yuan was.

The complicated elemental formation engraved on the beam seemed to come alive, releasing powerful waves in an attempt to retain the departing Heavenly Bone.

Li Yuan felt that the space around him seemed to be solidified and twisted by invisible hands, making it extremely difficult for him to breathe.

He immediately mobilized all his energy to teleport through space, but his body did not sink into the void. Instead, he turned into a streak of light, broke through numerous obstacles, and escaped from the hall.

However, just as he was about to break through the edge of the hall, a layer of water-blue energy shield appeared like an inverted sky, firmly locking the entire peak of Shuiyun Peak, exuding a faint chill and inviolable majesty.

The energy shield was obviously a protective formation set up by the powerful men of Shuiyun Peak for generations, specially designed to resist foreign enemies.

"clang--"

A distant and heavy bell sound suddenly rang out, piercing through the sky and also piercing Li Yuan's heart.

The bell sounded as an alarm that Shuiyun Peak had encountered a powerful enemy, and it was also a verdict on his actions.

Almost at the same time, from all over Shuiyun Peak, powerful auras emerged like angry dragons emerging from the sea, turning into long rainbows and rushing straight to the top of the peak.

Those auras contained the profound cultivation and tremendous anger of the elders of Shuiyun Peak.

He was obviously extremely indignant about this sudden theft of treasure.

Li Yuan's heart trembled, knowing that at this moment the only way to get a chance to break out was to fight with all his might.

He stomped his feet hard on the ground, and with the help of the recoil force, his body was like an arrow shot from a bow, and he instantly moved hundreds of feet away from the Shuiyun Palace.

Ten figures landed outside the Shuiyun Palace almost at the same time. They were the ten elders guarding the Shuiyun Palace.

The leader was none other than the thirty-fifth elder, Shui Yanjun.

Shui Yanjun's face turned ashen and his eyes were as sharp as torches. It was obvious that he was extremely angry and shocked by Li Yuan's behavior.

"How dare you, a daring lunatic, sneak into our Tianyun Sect and commit such a theft!"

Shui Yanjun's voice was like ice, piercing through the air and striking Li Yuan's heart.

Beside him, several elders were also on high alert, with their energy surging around them, ready to launch an attack at any time.

"You are... Li Yuan?"

Shui Yanjun's eyes were fixed on Li Yuan, his face full of astonishment as if he had seen a ghost after a long absence, and his voice was trembling with disbelief.

"You are actually... still alive?"

Those simple words were like a bolt from the blue, shaking the sky above Shuiyun Peak.

The faces of the elders guarding the temple behind Shui Yanjun changed drastically in an instant, with shock and disbelief mixed in their eyes, as if they were witnessing the most incredible miracle in the world.

There was a depressing and strange atmosphere in the air, and time seemed to freeze at this moment.

Li Yuan raised a faint smile and said, "Your Excellency is still as charming as ever, how can I fall so easily?

“I just never expected that after fifty years, Brother Shui Yanjun could still recall our old friendship.

“I came here today just to get some compensation to mend my broken heart.

"After much thought, this piece of heavenly bone is the best on Shuiyun Peak.

"I just accepted it reluctantly."

"Good! You are great, Li Yuan!" Shui Yanjun's laughter suddenly sounded, with a bit of madness, "I wanted to find you, but you fell into the trap.

“Stealing the treasure of Shuiyun Peak is an unforgivable crime.

"Today, you won't be able to escape!"

His eyes were as sharp as an eagle's, revealing a strong murderous intent, and there were faint fluctuations of Yuanli around him.

The surrounding environment suddenly changed, and the originally quiet square was shrouded in an invisible tense atmosphere.

A breeze blew across the lake, but it did not create a ripple, as if even the forces of nature were holding their breath at this moment.

Shui Yanjun waved his arm violently, as if commanding an army of thousands of horses: "Shuiyun Peak Dharma Guardians, set up the formation, don't let this man escape!"

Following his command, hundreds of dazzling white lights suddenly appeared on the surface of the lake.

In the white light, figures wearing white armor appeared, and they quickly and tacitly dispersed to surround Li Yuan.

These Dharma protectors all had stern expressions, with determination and loyalty flashing in their eyes.

They held long swords in their hands, and the tips of the swords lightly tapped, and the Yuan Force flowed through the swords, gathering into pieces of dazzling sword light.

As they swung their swords in unison, hundreds of sword shadows intertwined into an impenetrable sword net, covering Li Yuan.

In the sword net, the air flow was turbulent, and the roar caused by the collision of elemental forces resounded through the sky.

Although the Dharma protectors of Shuiyun Peak have only reached the peak of the late Yuanshen realm, the strength they have demonstrated is far beyond this level.

Each of them possesses the strength of half a step into the realm of transformation.

The tacit understanding between these guardians seemed to have been tempered through thousands of battles. There was no need for words. A glance or a gesture were enough to communicate with each other and they acted as one.

Whenever they go out, there are at least a hundred of them, and such a lineup is enough to shake the world.

Their coordination was almost seamless; every transition between attack and defense was just right, which increased their overall combat power exponentially.

Even when facing several powerful warriors at the peak of the late Half-Step Transformation Realm, they were able to rely on teamwork and tacit understanding to engage in a thrilling contest and not lose the upper hand at all.

In the sword net, the flashing sword light has both the force of thunder and the delicate control.

"roll!"

Li Yuan's voice was as cold as ice, resounding through the sky, with unquestionable majesty.

Faced with the continuous sword shadows surging from all directions, he was not afraid, but his expression became even more stern.

With a thought, nine colorful earthly blades appeared out of thin air, surrounding his body. Each blade exuded a frightening sword intent, like nine dormant thunder dragons looming in the distance.

"Zhenxun Longao!"

Li Yuan hummed softly, and put his fingers together like swords. The energy surged at his fingertips, and the light was dazzling, like stars gathering together.

He guided the Earth Blades with a mysterious rhythm, causing them to weave complex and mysterious trajectories in the air.

The nine lightning flame blades were sometimes as light as the wind in the air, shuttling between the sword shadows, leaving behind gorgeous afterimages;
Sometimes it is as swift as thunder, cutting through the sky with a roar that tears the void.

As they danced, the outline of a huge sword formation condensed and took shape in the air, as if all the energy between heaven and earth was drawn and gathered here at this moment.

"Array up!"

Li Yuan shouted suddenly, his voice containing endless power.

The nine Earthly Blades suddenly accelerated in the air, following a mysterious rule, performing the spectacular scene of a dragon soaring into the sky.

The Yuan patterns intertwined and flickered in the air, like the tracks of stars or the flow of blood, adding a bit of majesty to the sword formation.

At this moment, each lightning flame blade turned into a living dragon shadow. They either circled up, stirring up the wind and clouds, or swooped down, tearing the void.

The sword energy intertwined and collided with each other, forming sharp wind blades and turning into a sword shadow storm.

Wherever the sword light passed, the void was cut open, revealing deep and dark cracks.

Within the sword formation, the wind and clouds were unpredictable, thunder and lightning appeared, and the roar was endless.

Nine dragon shadows tumbled and leaped in the air, as if there were really giant dragons roaming here.

Li Yuan was like the soul of the sword formation, standing at the center of the formation with a cold look in his eyes.

Every wave of his thoughts was transmitted to each Thunder Flame Blade accurately and without error.

This makes the entire sword formation as flexible and powerful as a living thing.

Every ray of sword light contains a terrifying force that is enough to shake mountains and split rivers.

Not only can it attack, but it can also defend. It can borrow the power of heaven and earth, turn it into its own use, and become invincible.

"Ding Ding Ding-"

The Earthly Blade collided with the long sword of the Dharma Protector, and the crisp sound of metal clashing echoed in the sky and earth with wind and thunder.

"Bang bang——"

The dull and loud noises were like thunder from the sky falling into the mortal world.

Hundreds of white shadows were suddenly bounced away by the powerful force, like fallen leaves blown by a strong wind, and flew backwards hundreds of feet before they could barely stabilize their bodies.

They looked down and saw that the long sword in their hands had broken. The broken end was as smooth as a mirror, revealing an irresistible sharpness and dominance.

The expressions of these Dharma protectors instantly became solemn and complicated, with shock and unwillingness in their eyes.

Li Yuan's body shook, and the white clothes with cloud patterns that originally covered him instantly turned into pieces, revealing the blue robe underneath.

He stared at Shui Yanjun coldly, his voice as cold as ice: "Shui Yanjun, back then, the eight elders of your Shuiyun Peak joined forces but failed to stop me. Now you want to trap me here with just these Dharma protectors?

"Your naivety is really ridiculous."

Shui Yanjun said calmly: "It seems that you have had an extraordinary encounter in the Xuanyin Thunder Realm. You were able to receive the legacy of Emperor Yin Lei and evolve the Lightning Yin Lei Blade to this level of sword formation."

Li Yuan's eyes flashed with determination: "Today, I have something important to attend to, so I can't stay for long.

"I will keep your life for now and come back to take it another day."

After saying that, he stomped his foot hard on the ground, and the energy in his body boiled, as if he was attracting the power of thunder and lightning between heaven and earth.

As he moved, the spatial confinement force that was suppressed by the influence of the formation was suddenly squeezed by the powerful force.

"Bam—"

With a deafening explosion, Li Yuan's figure turned into a dazzling lightning shadow, cutting through the sky and rushing towards the outside of the square.

In the thunder shadow, it seemed as if there were nine thunder dragons roaring with the power to destroy the world.

At this moment, the entire square seemed to be shrouded in Li Yuan's aura. The sounds of wind and thunder were fierce, and the Yuan power between heaven and earth was boiling.

"Want to escape?
"Hmph, wishful thinking!"

When Shui Yanjun saw this, his face suddenly turned cold, and his cold voice pierced through the wind and thunder, resounding throughout the entire square.

Before he finished speaking, the nine elders guarding the temple behind him suddenly jumped up, and their energy surged in their bodies, almost overflowing.

They pushed the ground hard with their feet, and like an arrow shot from a bow, they cut through the sky and instantly crossed the distance of half the square.

The nine people moved in unison. As soon as the long swords were drawn out and the sword tips lightly tapped, nine extremely sharp sword auras shot out from the sword tips.

Each sword energy contained the terrifying power of a peak Half-Step Transformation Realm expert, interweaving into a sword net in an attempt to completely block Li Yuan's way.

As the sword flashed, even the void was cut apart, accompanied by a sharp whistle in the air.

Li Yuan felt the overwhelming sword energy, his brows slightly furrowed, and a hint of solemnity flashed in his eyes.

With a thought, the nine Earth Demon Blades transformed into nine colorful lightning bolts, interweaving and spinning in the air, forcefully blocking the sharp sword energy.

Then, his shoulders trembled violently, and his wings of thunder and flame spread out immediately.

The wings of thunder and flame intertwined to emit a dazzling light, burning and distorting the surrounding air.

Without the slightest hesitation, Li Yuan spread his wings like a roc, and instantly turned into a stream of lightning and flames. The speed was so fast that it almost exceeded the limit of what the naked eye could capture.

Leaving behind a trail of afterimages, it rushed towards the outside of Shuiyun Peak.

"Li Yuan, your journey ends here!"

Shui Yanjun's angry roar was like thunder, echoing between heaven and earth.

He waved his hand suddenly, as if he was in control of the entire formation.

The silhouettes of the nine elders guarding the temple blurred in an instant. When they gathered again, they were standing like a solid wall on the path that Li Yuan had to take during his retreat.

Nine powerful forces surged out from their bodies and intertwined into an invisible net, completely blocking Li Yuan. Even the air was filled with a suffocating sense of oppression.

Echoing the power of the array, the solidity of this space becomes even more illusory, as if even time has become blurred at this moment.

Li Yuan stood in mid-air, his eyes coldly sweeping towards the nine strong men opposite him, his face solemn.

Each of these nine temple-guarding elders who are at the peak of the Half-Step Transformation Realm is not to be underestimated in terms of their strength. When they join forces, they are not much weaker than the eight elders who hunted him down back then.

However, the space here is reinforced by the array. It is undoubtedly a pipe dream to escape through space teleportation, and the cost of energy is too great.

“Nine Half-Step Transformation Realm peak experts are indeed a big presence.

"But can these alone trap me, Li Yuan?"

Li Yuan sneered, his voice showing both disdain and determination, but he still maintained his unparalleled pride.

Shui Yanjun raised his head with a hint of coldness, looked up at Li Yuan, and said coldly: "Li Yuan, you should know that this is not a place for you to run wild.

"Even a strong person in the Huawen realm can hardly escape the restraint of this formation, let alone you?"
