Lord of Bones

Chapter 783: Dark Shadow Princess
Before the burly man could react, a demon blade suddenly appeared in front of his eyebrows.

The next moment, the lightning flame blade suddenly pierced through his head, piercing through his soul, and completely annihilated his life in the lightning flame.

"laugh--"

Then, the Thunder Flame Moon Blade blew the lifeless, burly man's body that was unable to dodge into a blood mist, but it still rushed towards an old woman not far away like an unstoppable torrent.

The old woman's face changed drastically, becoming distorted and terrified.

At the critical moment, she pointed her finger, and a huge golden shield appeared out of thin air in front of her, flashing dazzling light.

However, the power of the Thunder Flame Moon Blade far exceeded her expectations. It directly cut off the giant golden shield, and the remaining force continued to bombard it.

The old woman only felt an irresistible force suddenly approaching her body, and the whole person was like a kite with a broken string. She was thrown hundreds of feet away and fell heavily on a platform.

She struggled to get up but failed. The energy in her body was in chaos and her breath was weak, as if she would die at any moment.

After bombarding the old woman, the Thunder Flame Moon Blade gradually dissipated due to the exhaustion of energy, turning into points of light and disappearing into the void.

"My God!
"This...what kind of strength is this!"

All the Yuanists who were in the chaos around had practiced for hundreds of years and reached the peak of the Half-Step Transformation Realm.

When they witnessed Li Yuan's attack, their faces changed instantly and were filled with horror.

Li Yuan was like a god of war walking out of hell, bathed in thunder and flames.

He killed one person in an instant and seriously injured another. His domineering aura seemed as if he could trample the heaven and earth under his feet.

"He...he is so strong?"

A Yuanzhe said in a trembling voice, as if he saw some incredible monster.

They originally thought that they were already the best on this battlefield.

But I didn't expect to encounter such a terrifying existence.

"He has at least a 70% chance of sensing the heavenly tribulation.

"Why would such a young genius come to the Blood Refining Battlefield to take risks?"

Another Yuanzhe murmured to himself, feeling confused.

A genius like Li Yuan should have practiced diligently in a safer place, waiting for the coming of the heavenly calamity.

However, he chose to come here and compete with many powerful people.

Those powerful warriors who were originally ready to pounce on Li Yuan, after seeing this scene, all turned around and fled like eggplants hit by heavy frost.

It is obvious that this young man is an extremely terrifying existence. If you provoke him, you may not even know how you died.

Just when Li Yuan thought that his might had frightened all Yuan practitioners, a dark shadow suddenly gathered in front of him. The skin was as dark as the darkest corner of the night, as if it could swallow up the light.

Her long hair was as black as ink and fell casually. Her deep blue eyes were like a bright lamp in the abyss, cold and deep, as if they could look directly into the depths of the soul.

"Who are you?" Li Yuan stared at the huge figure in front of him and asked.

Youying replied in a cold voice: "I am from Tianling Mountain, and I am Ye Jing from the Tianling Mingying Youji clan. Today, you stop here."

Facing a woman who was almost twice his height, Li Yuan smiled contemptuously: "Even if you are as powerful as me, you are nothing but a candle in the wind in front of me."

Ye Jing heard this, anger appeared in his dark blue eyes, and he said in a low voice: "Your strength is indeed not to be underestimated, and your potential to sense the heavenly tribulation should be high, so I will never let you step into the third level."

"Step aside!

"Otherwise, you will die on the second floor, and I will still enter the third floor."

A fierce look flashed in Li Yuan's eyes. His body did not move, but the thunder flame sword in his hand was ready to strike.

Seeing that the other party did not listen to his scolding, he swung his sword fiercely, and the lightning flames surged, turning into sword power, cutting through the void and going straight for Ye Jing.

Ye Jing's expression changed slightly, but his eyes remained as cool as ice.

The huge curved knife in his hand was swung suddenly, and the faint blue light was like a meteor in the night sky, transforming into an arc blade with unparalleled speed, meeting the power of the thunder flame knife without any error.

"boom--"

The two forces collided violently in the air, causing a roar that pierced through gold and split rock. The terrifying energy swept across and teared the surrounding void.

Ye Jing retreated violently, leaving a distance of over a hundred feet behind.

After stabilizing her body, her eyes became more serious and she stared at Li Yuan intently, as if she wanted to find flaws in every subtle movement of the other party.

Li Yuan was also secretly shocked. He had never expected that Mingying Youji could display such amazing fighting power.

After a brief confrontation, it was clear that Ye Jing's strength was by no means comparable to Xue Yinchen's.

As expected of a strong man from one of the top three sects, he is indeed powerful and should not be underestimated.

He swung the Broken Bone Knife fiercely again, and the lightning flame drew a brilliant trajectory in the air, directly hitting the gap in Ye Jing's defense.

Ye Jing's dark blue eyes suddenly shrank at this moment, and he felt an unprecedented crisis, but as a strong man from the Mingying Youji clan, he would never give up easily.

Her figure retreated again, but this time, her movements were more hasty.

The huge scimitar in his hand drew a graceful arc in the air, trying to block Li Yuan's attack.

"laugh--"

However, the power contained in the Thunder Flame Sword was too strong, like an angry dragon, penetrating Ye Jing's defense.

A charred scar was left on her left arm, and blood instantly stained her sleeve.

Ye Jing let out a low roar. This was the first time she showed a look of pain since entering the Blood Refining Battlefield.

But she quickly adjusted her breathing, the energy in her body surged, and the wound healed at a speed visible to the naked eye, as if she had never been injured.

Seeing this, Li Yuan couldn't help but secretly admire Ye Jing's recovery ability. He must take advantage of the victory to kill the opponent.

His figure flashed by, like a meteor across the night sky, and suddenly appeared beside Ye Jing.

The Thunder Flame Sword swung out again, choosing a more bizarre angle, intending to deliver a fatal blow.

Ye Jing is no ordinary man. Relying on his rich combat experience and keen intuition, he predicted Li Yuan's movements in advance, turned his body to the side, and narrowly avoided the attack.

She swung the scimitar in her hand, which turned into a dark blue whirlwind and swept towards Li Yuan.

The two men fought back and forth in the bloody void, their swords flashed and the earth-shaking roar accompanied them, and the space was shaking constantly.

The hundreds of feet wide platforms floating around were also impacted by the force, sometimes colliding with each other and sometimes flying around.

After fighting for more than ten feet, the two men separated and stood hundreds of feet apart in the void, facing each other.

"Ye Jing, you are no match for me. If you continue to be stubborn, don't blame me for being ruthless." Li Yuan shouted coldly.

Ye Jing swung the curved scimitar lightly, emitting a faint blue light, and said firmly: "Once I let you step into the third level, I will definitely not have the chance to overcome the tribulation. I must stop you here."

After saying that, Ye Jing's figure suddenly moved, like a phantom in the dark night, with a speed so fast that it almost exceeded the limit of what the naked eye could capture.

Space seemed to lose its meaning under her feet, and the distance between her and Li Yuan was instantly shortened.

Li Yuan was shocked, but he remained calm, his eyes turned cold, and he retreated rapidly.

"Essence Pattern Technique, Moon Wrath of Broken Bones!" The essence pattern appeared on the Broken Bone Knife, bursting with brilliant light. The hundred-foot-long Thunder Flame Moon Blade, with the power to destroy the world, slashed towards Ye Jing.

Faced with the fierce attack, Ye Jing did not retreat. He held the scimitar tightly in both hands and shook his wrist. The scimitar split into two, turning into two dark blue lights that crossed in front of his chest, forming a crossed dark blue giant blade.

Then it thrust forward suddenly, and the giant blue blade met the raging tide of the Thunder Flame Moon Blade.

"boom--"

The moment the two forces collided, the surrounding space trembled.

The crossed dark blue giant blades collapsed instantly under the impact of the Thunder Flame Moon Blade, turning into blue light points that dissipated in the air and disappeared in a flash.

Although the Thunder Flame Moon Blade had become much more illusory, the terrifying energy still poured towards Ye Jing like a mountain torrent with an unstoppable force.

"Bam—"

Ye Jing's body trembled under the weight of the almost solidified terrifying energy, as if an invisible mountain suddenly descended from the sky and pressed on her shoulders.

Her face was twisted in pain, beads of sweat covered her delicate features, and an irresistible fishy sweetness surged in her throat.

"Pfft!"

A mouthful of blood finally broke free from its restraints, spurted out, and drew a sad arc in the void.

Li Yuan frowned slightly when he saw this, but thought to himself: "I didn't expect Mingying Youji's body to be so tough."

However, there was no hesitation in his actions. After using the Broken Bone Moon Fury, his Broken Bone Knife quietly returned to the Ring of Storage.

A lightning rod wrapped in lightning appeared in the palm of his hand at some point, containing the power to penetrate everything.

Before Ye Jing could recover from Li Yuan's sudden attack, the Blue Sky Divine Thunder Needle had turned into a bolt of lightning beyond the limits of visual capture, cutting through the sky and leaving a tiny and deep space crack.

In the cracks, five-colored lightning flames rolled and boiled, as if the gate of hell was suddenly pushed open, swallowing up all the light and vitality around it.

A hint of fear flashed across Ye Jing's eyes, knowing full well the power of this attack.

"There's no way to avoid it, I'll just have to fight it head-on!" Ye Jing gritted his teeth.

He held two curved knives tightly in his hands, with cold light flashing on the blades, and tried his best to withstand the devastating blow from the Azure Lightning Needle.

"Chong-"

The sound of metal clashing was deafening. The Azure Thunder Needle was like a sharp sword, easily penetrating the defense of the first scimitar.

Fortunately, Ye Jing reacted quickly and intercepted the second knife in time, barely able to withstand the devastating blow.

In a flash, something unexpected happened.

Li Yuan waved his fingers lightly, and seven lightning flame blades quietly appeared at the back of Ye Jing's head, instantly merging into a huge lightning flame sword, piercing straight through her eyebrows from the back of her head.

Everything happened in an instant. Li Yuan's methods were smooth and fluent. He did not give Ye Jing any chance to breathe and completely annihilated him.

His figure appeared and disappeared in the thunder and flames, like a god controlling thunder and lightning.

In the cruel blood-refining battlefield, although Li Yuan believed himself to be invincible, he was facing those Yuanists whose lifespans were about to end and who were eager to break through the realm and prolong their lives.

They are as greedy and ferocious as hungry wolves. If Li Yuan is not careful, he may be reduced to dust.

The reason why he killed Ye Jing so quickly was not only to demonstrate his own strength, but also to intimidate those Yuanists who might pose a threat to him.

Make them feel fearful before they take action.

Just when Li Yuan was full of confidence and thought he had killed Ye Jing and shocked the surrounding Yuan people, three white figures quietly came into his sight.

An old man with white hair and beard, accompanied by two old women with weathered faces but sharp eyes, each wearing a golden cloud pattern emblem on the chest.

"Could it be a powerful person from Lingyun Sect?" Li Yuan muttered to himself. Although his voice was as thin as a mosquito, it clearly penetrated the void and fell into the ears of the three people.

"That's right." The old man in the lead smiled gently and said slowly, "I heard that you were born in the former Longyang Li family.

"It is also closely related to some of the people who have obtained the Yuan from the Wenhe Hundred Families in our Lingyun Sect."

Li Yuan's eyes flickered when he heard this, and he asked suspiciously, "Could it be that you three are also from the Wenhe Hundred Clan?"

The old man nodded slightly, and said with a bit of detachment: "With our current cultivation and status, we have long severed ties with the family, and we only follow the sect's lead in everything.

“I am Gu Bingyao, and I come from the Immortal Yi Gu clan.

"This is Jin Rifeng, formerly a member of the Tanyi Jin clan.

"That person is Dai Shu, originally from the Dai clan of Santai."

Since returning from the Xuanyin Thunder Region and visiting the Longyang Li family ruins, Li Yuan's contacts with the Yuan people from the Wenhe families have become increasingly rare.

But he vaguely remembered that the Xianyi Gu family had a prominent position among the hundreds of families in Wenhe, ranking seventeenth after the sixteen major families.

The Tanyi Jin family is not far behind, ranking 19th.

Although the Dai family of Santai is slightly inferior, ranking 61st, but with the changing times, it is unknown what their current ranking is.

"I'm afraid the three of you stopped me not just to rekindle the old friendship between the hundreds of families in Wenhe?" Li Yuan asked tentatively with a flickering look in his eyes.

Gu Bingyao stroked his long beard, with a sly smile on his face: "This is the second level of the Blood Refining Battlefield, the Blood Refining Gathering Area.

“Only the last thirty remaining Yuanzhe can enter the third level.

“I am confident that with our strength, we can definitely be among those thirty people.

“Since you have come to this cruel place, you should be fully aware of the interests involved.

“Even among the three of us, we will inevitably fight each other in the end for the opportunity of the heavenly tribulation.

“Your Excellency is famous in the Wen River area and has extraordinary strength. The probability of you sensing the heavenly tribulation is probably no less than 80%.

“If we let you enter the third level, we will miss our chance.

"Therefore, we have to risk a battle in an effort to keep you here."

Hearing this, Li Yuan's heart couldn't help but ripple.

Ye Jing had fought with him before, also to prevent him from entering the third level.

Li Yuan recalled that when he was in Lingxi Valley, the Valley Master explained the rules of the Blood Refining Battlefield in detail, but did not mention the probability of sensing a heavenly calamity.

He guessed that perhaps even Lingxi Valley Master Xi Yuexia knew very little about this.

After all, every time the Blood Refining Battlefield opens, Lingxi Valley only sends one Yuanzhe in.

Without exception, none of these Yuan people survived.

Naturally, there is no way to accumulate real experience about the Blood Refining Battlefield, and only the cold rules and information remain.

Obviously, whether or not one can encounter the heavenly tribulation on the third level is closely related to the probability of the Yuanzhe himself sensing the heavenly tribulation.

This is a secret passed down orally among the surviving Yuanzhe, and ordinary Yuanzhe have no way of knowing it.

"Brother Gu." Li Yuan bowed and said, "Can you explain the whole story in detail?
“If the three of you can really win, it will be a worthy death for Li.

"And if Li is lucky enough to win and knows the reason, it will be a blessing for me, so that I won't pave the way for others in ignorance."
