Lord of Bones

Chapter 742 A feint

Li Yuan's figure turned into a flash of lightning, rushing out of the teleportation square, leaving behind a brilliant trail, like a dazzling meteor in the sky.

The various buildings in the city were nothing but fleeting phantoms in his eyes.

Li Yuan landed in a quiet and deserted neighborhood.

The wings of lightning and flame slowly folded, transformed into points of light and merged into his body, leaving only a faint residual warmth lingering in the air.

He looked around vigilantly, trying to see if there was any hidden danger.

Then, Li Yuan curled up a faint smile, and his figure suddenly turned into a galloping thunder and rushed into a building.

At the same time, the sky seemed to be torn apart by an invisible force, and long sounds of breaking through the air echoed among the clouds.

The next moment, more than a hundred guardians of the Tianyun Sect appeared from the sky like stars in the night sky.

Their figures were swift and coordinated, and the long swords in their hands flashed with cold light.

"How could he disappear out of thin air?

"It's clearly escaping in this direction."

A guardian frowned and looked around.

The elder-level strong man who led the group said in a deep voice: "He can't run away.

"We will split up and conduct a comprehensive search to ensure that no place is missed."

"Yes, sir!" The guardians responded in unison in loud voices.

They dispersed quickly and orderly like a well-trained army, each choosing a search area.

The sunlight shines through the sparse clouds, casting dappled shadows on the streets.

A breeze blew by, bringing a hint of coolness and blowing up the dead leaves and dust scattered on the ground.

As time went on, the tension of the search grew.

The lonely streets seemed to be shrouded in darkness and depth, as if they were shrouded in night in advance.

There was only one figure moving like a ghost among the scattered buildings.

Every time my toes tapped on the rubble of the ancient eaves, it seemed as if I had reached a tacit understanding with it.

Taking advantage of the force, he flew across a distance of dozens of feet in an instant, leaving behind a trail of blurry and swift afterimages.

Li Yuan deliberately leaked out a faint breath, which was enough to attract the attention of the pursuers behind him.

Leading them to gather together, but they were still unable to touch even a little bit of his sleeve.

Above the sky, the strong men of Tianyun Sect seemed like dark clouds, their eyes fixed on the ground below, their expressions tense and solemn, as if they were a group of falcons staring at prey that was about to fall into a trap.

Among them, a strong man at the peak of the Half-Step Transformation Realm said to a beautiful middle-aged woman with a hint of awe in his tone: "Twenty-seventh Elder, how should we deal with this cunning boy?"

This beautiful middle-aged woman was none other than Shui Muying, the twenty-seventh elder of Shuiyun Peak, who was one of the elders who followed Shui Qing in hunting down Li Yuan.

Although she was stronger than Shui Yanjun, there was a hint of fear in her eyes when facing Li Yuan.

Shui Muying spoke slowly, his voice cold: "Don't underestimate the enemy.

"Pass the order down, all disciples and guardians immediately set up the Yuanshu formation to form an encirclement and slowly close the net.

“Before the sect’s ancestor arrives, we must ensure that Li Yuan cannot escape.

“Deputy Sect Leader Han Yan has issued an order that whoever can capture Li Yuan will be directly promoted to elder.

“You will also have the opportunity to receive personal guidance from the ancestors on Tianyun Peak!
"This is your chance of a lifetime!"

As soon as these words came out, the eyes of the surrounding Half-Step Transformation Realm peak powerhouses suddenly ignited with raging fire, greed and fanaticism intertwined.

They stared at Li Yuan's constantly changing position, as if they had already seen their future promotion to elders.

Most of these strong men are Yuanzhe who joined Tianyun Sect halfway and are eager to gain a foothold in the sect.

The opportunity to be promoted to elders made them eager to do a great job.

Although they were proud of their strength at the peak of the Half-Step Transformation Realm, they were unable to stand out in the sect's core events and thus could never reach the lofty position of elders.

They were eager to prove themselves, hoping that this time they could accomplish something great that would shock the sect and use this as a stepping stone to reach a higher level.

They had been guarding outside and did not participate in the battle at the top of Shuiyun Peak, so they had no idea how terrifying Li Yuan was.

Shui Muying, an authoritative figure in the Shuiyun Peak water system, did not personally experience the battle at the top of Shuiyun Peak that shocked the sect, but with her status and channels, she had a deep estimate of Li Yuan's strength.

In order to make these elder-level strong men who are eager to make achievements willingly become her pawns, she must offer sufficiently tempting rewards.

"Bam—"

Just as Shui Muying was thinking about how to better control this pursuit, a deafening roar suddenly erupted from the block below.

A seemingly ordinary building turned into ruins in an instant.

A figure wrapped in lightning and flames suddenly shot out from the dust like lightning at dawn.

"Humph, a mere ant dares to challenge the majesty of the Tianyun Sect!"

As Li Yuan's figure appeared, the elder-level strongmen beside Shui Muying reacted almost at the same time.

Their eyes instantly became cold and sharp, and the swords in their hands seemed to sense the will of their masters, releasing bursts of cold light.

They stretched out their bodies and dispersed in an instant like a dozen lightning bolts, blocking all possible escape routes of Li Yuan.

Then, the long sword danced, and the sword energy contained the full-strength attack of a peak Half-Step Transformation Realm expert, like an angry dragon emerging from the sea, cutting through the void and shooting towards Li Yuan.

The trajectories of these sword energies were so tricky that they took into account almost every angle of Li Yuan's forward charge, like an invisible giant net that was going to trap him completely.

Facing the overwhelming sword energy, Li Yuan did not show any fear. Instead, a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.

He retreated quickly, skillfully using the complex terrain of the block to perform a series of dazzling dodges and counterattacks.

"Bang bang——"

The collision of sword energy and lightning flames created a roar that pierced through gold and split rocks, and burst into brilliant light.

The intensity of the confrontation became increasingly intense as time went on.

The collision between the two created a terrifying energy wave that spread out in all directions.

Li Yuan didn't want to get entangled here too much, and the wings of thunder and flame behind him suddenly spread out. With an incomparable domineering aura, his body suddenly retreated backwards.

At the same time, he performed a series of exquisite rolls in the air, trying to escape the impenetrable attack.

"Hehe, it seems the rumors are true.

"Li Yuan is really injured. He is just a spent force."

Seeing this, Shui Muying curled up a smug sneer, as if he had seen the dawn of victory.

However, before her smile could fully bloom, it was frozen by the sudden crisis.

Three colorful lightning blades, like meteors streaking through the night sky, passed silently past the corners of her eyes with destructive power.

"careful!"

Shui Muying's reaction was also extremely fast. He retreated quickly like a ghost, and at the same time shouted loudly, trying to alert his companions around him.

But her warning was still a step too late. The three lightning blades were like the scythe of the god of death, reaping the lives of the three elder-level warriors with precision and accuracy.

Even their souls could not escape and were completely annihilated in the lightning. This scene was like a bolt from the blue, causing all the strong men present to change color.

Those elder-level strongmen who had originally tried to confront Li Yuan alone now had pale faces, with disbelief and fear in their eyes.

They fled in all directions like frightened birds, seeking cover in the city's buildings for fear of becoming the next target.

"Idiots! You are seeking your own death!" Shui Muying was very anxious and shouted angrily.

Once these strong men are dispersed, they will no longer be able to form an effective force, let alone cast a powerful Yuanshu formation to fight against Li Yuan.

By then, Li Yuan will be like a tiger among a flock of sheep, and no one will be able to stop him.

However, her roar failed to stop the Yuanists from fleeing in panic.

They were only concerned with saving their own lives and had no time to cooperate.

"hey-hey."

Li Yuan's low and cold laughter echoed in the city, like a voice demanding death from the underworld.

His figure shuttled through the void and instantly appeared behind a panicked and helpless elder-level strongman.

The long sword in his hand flashed with dazzling lightning, like the dazzling lightning in the sky. It was swung out with lightning speed, leaving behind a gorgeous trail of lightning and flames.

"laugh--"

With a dull sound, blood bloomed cruelly in the air like red flowers.

A head flew high up, and then a shadow of the soul tried to escape in horror, but was slapped down by Li Yuan mercilessly and turned into nothingness.

This scene is like the dance of death, cold and decisive.

Li Yuan had no intention of stopping. He flapped the wings of thunder and flame behind him suddenly, making a sharp sound of breaking through the air, and rushed towards the next target like a hunting eagle.

"Gather quickly and form a Yuanshu formation. Don't let him defeat us one by one!"

Mizuki Ying's voice was filled with unprecedented anxiety, echoing in the chaotic neighborhood.

At her call, those elder-level warriors who were originally fleeing in all directions gathered in her direction and tried to organize an effective defense.

However, Li Yuan's actions were faster than their reactions.

As soon as an elder-level warrior made a move, a colorful lightning blade silently cut through the void, like an arrow shot by the god of death, accurately piercing the back of his head. The unspeakable terrifying power annihilated his body and soul together.

Scalding blood gushed out from the man's brow like a hot fountain, dyeing the surrounding air with a strange red.

Warm blood slid down his terrified face and solidified in his wide-open eyes, becoming the last testimony of his life.

This scene was so shocking and bloody that it made all the Yuan people present feel unprecedented fear and despair.

“Twenty-seventh Elder, let’s settle the grudge from more than fifty years ago today.

"I, Li Yuan, have taken your life."

He suddenly looked up, his eyes locked on Shui Muying in the sky, and he shouted coldly with unquestionable determination.

Li Yuan suddenly jumped up, like an awakening demon, with lightning flames surrounding him. He held a long sword in his hand, and lightning flames also jumped on the tip of the sword.

A strange smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and then it turned into a stream of light and shot towards Shui Muying.

"If you want to take my life, you have to have the ability to do so!"

When Shui Muying saw this, although she felt fear in her heart, it also aroused the pride and stubbornness in her bones, and an unconcealable ruthlessness appeared in her eyes.

Her eyes were wide open, and her energy was boiling, like a river bursting its banks, unstoppable.

She held the long sword tightly in her hand, with the tip of the sword pointing directly at Li Yuan. A powerful aura burst out from her body and rushed forward.

"boom--"

Two figures met in the air, and the sound of metal clashing spread.

The lightning and sword energy intertwined, brilliant and dangerous.

The next moment, they passed each other.

Mizuki Ying landed on top of a nearby building.

Li Yuanze hovered in the air, flipped his hand, put away the Broken Bone Knife, and the Thunder Flame Wings behind him vibrated gently, and he flew out of the city.

During the whole process, he never looked at the beautiful middle-aged woman below who was still holding the sword with a complicated expression.

Not long after Li Yuan left, the sky was torn apart by a powerful force, and a deep crack quietly appeared.

A middle-aged man and woman with extraordinary temperament slowly walked out. They were the two ancestors of Tianyun Sect who guarded Shuiyun Hall, Shuizehai and Shuizeyu.

They stood side by side, emitting terrifying fluctuations of Yuan Force, and a circle of Yuan Patterns that seemed to be real emerged behind them, appearing majestic and mysterious.

"Shui Muying, tell me quickly, where did Li Yuan escape to?"

Shuizehai's voice resounded through the sky like thunder, and his sharp eyes were fixed on the roof below, where the beautiful middle-aged woman was still standing with a sword in her hand, but seemed unusually silent.

However, all he received in response was dead silence.

Shui Muying was like a sculpture, without any reaction at all.

"Something's wrong!" Shuize Yu frowned slightly. Her keen intuition made her realize that something was wrong instantly.

Before he finished speaking, Shui Muying's body on the roof suddenly froze, and then exploded with a loud bang, turning into a blood rain all over the sky, scattering a shocking red all over the ground.

This sudden change in the scene made Shuizehai's face turn pale in an instant. His clenched fists trembled slightly with anger, and his eyes flashed with uncontrollable rage and murderous intent.

"Li Yuan, how dare you tease me like this? I swear to grind you into dust to comfort the spirits of my clan!"

He let out a long roar toward the sky, and his voice contained tremendous energy, which swept out like a torrent and spread over hundreds of miles in an instant.

And in the deep forest outside the city a hundred miles away, a figure of lightning and flame was rapidly shuttling between the treetops.

Feeling the roar coming from afar, Li Yuan raised a faint smile.

He glanced lightly in the direction of the huge city, with a hint of disdain and ridicule in his eyes.

"It's not that easy to kill me."

After whispering a few words, he tapped the branches with his toes and suddenly rose up again, rushing deeper into the dense forest, leaving only a faint trail of lightning, which gradually dissipated.

…………

Half an hour later.

Li Yuan quietly appeared in another magnificent city on the edge of Tianyun Sect's territory, more than a million miles away.

At the edge of the Tianyun Sect territory, there are more than thirty such huge cities standing, like fortresses guarding the border.

Li Yuan walked leisurely through the streets and alleys, carefully observing and inquiring about the changes in the city.

Just as he had carefully planned, the aura of the Tianyun Sect's inner disciples and protectors, as well as those elder-level masters in this city, had been weakened by more than 70%.

Obviously, they were all dispatched to participate in the large-scale encirclement and suppression operation against him.

Below the Huawen realm, Li Yuan is almost unrivaled.

Even though the Tianyun Sect had already made preparations and sent several times more manpower than usual, it was still difficult to besiege him.

What's more, no one would have thought that he, with such strength, still used a strategy of making a feint to the east and attacking in the west.
