Lord of Bones

Chapter 701: Fighting the Black Granny Again

The air was filled with thick fluctuations of energy, and every strand contained astonishing energy.

The sounds of fighting caused by the collision of elemental forces came one after another, echoing all around. It was obviously a fierce battle between strong men.

Li Yuan immediately came to his senses and looked around.

Not far away, several figures were fighting fiercely. Each attack was accompanied by the roar of elemental force, as if to tear apart the surrounding void.

He gradually adapted to the change of the surrounding environment. The scene in front of him became clear, and he found himself in another extremely magnificent stone palace.

This stone palace is over a thousand feet high, with a dome so high that it seems to touch the sky.

The floor of the stone hall is covered with various kinds of gold ingots, piled up into small hills or scattered all over the ground, with an attractive luster.

Among these ingots, the lowest quality ones have reached the lower-grade Xuanbao, and occasionally one can even glimpse the shadow of the Dibao.

He carefully observed every corner of the hall, looking for more precious treasures and possible clues to the Earthly Blade.

Although there are many gold ingots here, it seems that the best ones are only top-grade earth treasures, and they are very rare.

The finest treasure on earth, never seen before.

"The Lei Rong Palace, as one of the treasure refining sites of the Yin Lei Palace, has a profound heritage. How could it be limited to this?"

Li Yuan pondered secretly, frowned slightly, and scanned the surroundings more sharply.

In addition to the ingots, there seemed to be other secrets hidden in the hall.

Those seemingly ordinary stone walls, stone pillars, and even certain patterns on the ground may inadvertently reveal clues leading to another treasure land.

Thinking of this, Li Yuan no longer hesitated and carefully shuttled among the Yuanbao to avoid conflict with those Yuanists who were fighting fiercely for the treasure.

He had only one thought in his mind, to find clues to the Earthly Blade as soon as possible.

"Li Yuan, you really have some skills. You can find this place with less than 300 jade slips."

Just as he was using the Earth Demon Blade in his body to sense whether there were other Earth Demon Blades around, a voice like a sharp blade breaking through ice came from behind, carrying with it a chill and threat that could not be ignored.

Li Yuan turned around abruptly, his eyes as fast as lightning, penetrating through layers of Yuanbao light, and finally locked onto a woman in tight black clothes with a graceful figure. His eyes were like deep cold pools, projecting a sinister light without any concealment.

The air around her seemed to solidify because of her appearance, and even the dazzling energy light around her seemed to become a little dimmer.

Li Yuan forced an awkward smile and said, "Young Master Yin Lin, it's true that we meet everywhere in life. It's been a long time since we last met."

However, Yin Lin did not give any response, but just looked coldly at the old woman next to her who was also dressed in black and had an old face but was energetic: "Black woman, kill him!"

Hearing this, Granny Black moved slightly and waved her wrinkled hand gently.

A powerful force surged out like a tide, instantly enveloping the area in a depressing atmosphere.

The pressure from the peak of the Half-Step Transformation Realm forced the surrounding Yuanists who were originally greedily searching for Yuanbao to stop their actions and cast awe-inspiring glances at him.

"Li Yuan, your good luck ends here."

Black Granny's voice was low and hoarse, like a whisper from the underworld.

She took a step forward slowly, and a pitch-black spear emitting a dark mist appeared in her hand.

The spear seemed to contain a terrifying force that was enough to tear apart space.

The air around them became extremely heavy due to the concentration of this force.

Li Yuan could clearly feel the pressure from the black grandma's energy, like a huge rock weighing thousands of pounds pressing down on his head.

"Li Yuan, I didn't expect you to come in so early."

At this moment, a clear and pleasant voice suddenly sounded beside Li Yuan, like a breeze in spring, blowing away the coldness and tension around him.

Li Yuan glanced to the side and saw Su Yimo landing lightly beside him with a slightly awkward yet gentle smile on her face, as if she was unaware of the eerie aura emanating from the old woman in black opposite her.

"Haha, I didn't expect that Miss Su could find this place so quickly." Li Yuan said with a smile.

Su Yimo's cheeks flushed when she heard this. She bit her lower lip lightly, looking a little embarrassed:
"If it weren't for the help of Sister Zhou and Sister Chu, I would have been buried at the bottom of the lava lake and become a meal for those giant beasts."

As she spoke, she turned slightly and pointed behind her.

There stood three women and three men, they were the geniuses from the hundreds of families in Wenhe in Lingyun Sect.

Li Yuan looked over, his eyes swept across everyone, and finally returned to Su Yimo:

“Miss Su, this place is dangerous, you should go to Miss Chu and the others.

"I have some personal matters to attend to."

Until this moment, Su Yimo seemed to have just realized the tense atmosphere in the field, and her eyes followed Li Yuan's pointing and fell on the old woman in black opposite her.

The old woman had a hunched body, but she emitted a frightening fluctuation of energy. Her eyes seemed to be able to see into people's hearts, and one dared not look directly at them.

Su Yimo saw this, and a cold light flashed in her beautiful eyes. She was about to step forward, but Li Yuan gently pressed her shoulder with one hand: "You are only in the late stage of Yuanshen realm, don't join in the fun, just stay at the back."

"Sister Zhou..." Su Yimo turned to look at Zhou Feiyan, a hint of help in her clear eyes.

She had also seen many Half-Step Transformation Realm peak powerhouses, and had Yuanbao on her that could detect the Yuan level of the Yuan masters, so she naturally knew the strength of the old woman in black opposite her.

In Su Yimo's opinion, no matter how strong Li Yuan was, he was only at the half-step stage of Huawen realm and was definitely no match for the old woman in black.

Among these people, Zhou Feiyan is the strongest.

Zhou Feiyan responded without any emotion: "His life or death has nothing to do with me. I actually hope he dies here."

"Don't worry, this old woman can't do anything to me." Li Yuan smiled at Su Yimo.

"You...be careful." Su Yimo whispered.

Although she knew that Li Yuan was very powerful, she still couldn't help but worry about him when facing such a strong opponent.

Li Yuan nodded, walked forward slowly, clenched his right hand gently, and suddenly a wave appeared in the air.

Then, a dazzling long sword surrounded by colorful lightning flames appeared out of thin air.

"Humph, you have some courage."

The old woman in black sneered, and when she saw that Li Yuan was fighting alone without any external help, she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

In the stone hall, there were also some Yuanists who did not know Li Yuan. They looked at him in surprise and whispered to each other.

In their eyes, for someone with only a small level of Half-Step Transformation Realm to challenge a person at the peak of Half-Step Transformation Realm is like throwing an egg against a rock, which is simply courting death.

However, Li Yuan stood there, upright and calm.

The colorful lightning flame sword in his hand trembled slightly, releasing bursts of thunder.

"Inside the stone hall, there are many space restrictions, which are more severe than the previous space-restricting formation. I'm afraid your space escape technique will be difficult to use here."

A deep and powerful voice came from the mouth of the old woman in black. The energy in her body was boiling like a river bursting its banks, with such a fierce momentum that people couldn't help but feel fear.

The old woman in black was confident that she could kill Li Yuan under the spatial suppression of the stone hall.

Immediately, his old eyes flashed with a sinister light, his body suddenly jumped up, instantly crossed the distance in space, and appeared in the air in front of Li Yuan.

The black spear seemed to be an extension of her will, and with a fierce thrust, a powerful black energy gushed out, transforming into a spear beam a hundred feet long, with the power to destroy the world, and rushed straight towards Li Yuan.

Wherever the spear passed, the air was torn apart, making a sharp whistling sound.

The ground below cracked open under the impact of this force. The huge crack was like a devil's mouth, swallowing everything around it.

Dust was flying and gravel was flying.

The attack of the old woman in black was fast and fierce, without any delay, fully displaying her terrifying strength as a peak Half-Step Transformation Realm expert.

She showed no mercy and was as ruthless and cruel as when she first fought Li Yuan.

Li Yuan's mouth corners curled up in a strange arc.

Although the bones in the old woman in black are strong, they are like being bound by invisible shackles due to the special environment and suppression of the formation here, and her strength is greatly reduced.

However, Li Yuan possessed the Life-Devouring Bone with the Spiritual Pattern, so the suppression here had much less impact on his strength. However, he did not relax.

Lightning flashed in his eyes, like the brightest stars in the night sky, cold and deep.

Li Yuan gripped the long sword tightly in his hand, and an unprecedented sense of power surged out of his body.

The Yuanli was like ignited volcanic magma, violent and hot, with strands of black lightning mixed in the colorfulness, wrapping up his entire body, like a god of war, with an imposing aura.

Facing a peak Half-Step Transformation Realm powerhouse, he activated all of the activated bone energy of the Spirit Pattern Life-Devouring Bone, including the devouring power.

"Shh-"

Li Yuan jumped up suddenly, like a cheetah hunting, as fast as lightning, and his sword broke through the void, making a sharp whistling sound.

Suddenly, colorful lightning flames swept across, and a huge lightning flame sword with a length of hundreds of feet slashed out, colliding head-on with the spear of the old woman in black.

"Bam—"

The spear light and the sword force intertwined, bursting out with dazzling light, illuminating everything around, and a loud noise spread like the collapse of heaven and earth.

A huge energy shock wave spread out in all directions, centered on the two.

Wherever it passed, the majestic stone pillars collapsed one by one like fragile straws, with smoke and dust rising everywhere.

The onlookers were so shocked by the sudden change that they retreated one after another, stopped fighting, and fixed their eyes on the center of the storm.

"Boom——"

As the stone pillars continued to collapse, the smoke became thicker.

In the chaos, two figures still stood firm, confronting each other, with fierceness in their eyes.

The Yuanzhe around had different expressions on their faces, but their words revealed their disbelief at the scene before them.

"That boy was able to catch a shot from the black woman?"

One of the Yuan people opened his eyes wide, his face full of disbelief.

The other Yuanzhe beside him was also full of surprise, muttering: "That's Granny Black, a strong man at the peak of the Half-Step Transformation Realm."

"Her spear is enough to scare a Half-Step Great Transformation expert to death. How could it be neutralized by this young man's sword?"

"Who is that boy? How can he be so strong?"

The discussion rose and fell, and more and more Yuanzhe were attracted and looked at the young man curiously.

"Li Yuan."

This name quietly emerged in the memories of a few powerful people, carrying with it a hint of distant shock.

"Li Yuan? The guy who defeated the number one on the Thousand Kings List of the Seven Sects of Wenhe more than ten years ago and rushed into the Thunder Rock Wind Scroll?"

A seemingly well-informed Yuanzhe suddenly spoke, with a hint of reminiscence in his voice.

This sentence was like a huge rock thrown into a calm lake, instantly causing ripples.

"Is it him? The boy who gave Tianyun Sect's Shuiyun Peak Great Elder Shui Qing a headache back then?"

The Yuanists around him all looked at him in surprise, with awe and curiosity in their eyes, and more of them were amazed at Li Yuan's incredible growth rate.

"In just a dozen years, from the peak of the late Yuanshen realm to the Half-Step Huawen realm, this speed of cultivation is simply shocking." The Yuanzhe sighed in a low voice.

However, this admiration is also mixed with some discordant voices.

"Even if she has some skills, the Dark Lady of the Yinming Guard has few rivals below the Huawen Realm, and Li Yuan only relied on the ability of space teleportation before."

"His methods are useless here. He will not escape death today." A cold voice came from the crowd, with a hint of gloating.

"If he dies, the ring will belong to the old woman."

"That's natural."

"Don't forget why he was hunted down by Lingyun Sect's genius Ming Yifeng."

"That piece of wind and thunder jade that is more than ten feet in size." Several Yuanzhe said in unison.

These words were like a gust of cold wind, making the already tense atmosphere even more solemn.

Li Yuan clearly felt the unkind and greedy gazes around him, like sharp blades cutting his nerves.

"Not good." Li Yuan cried in his heart.

He made a quick decision, flicked his fingers, and a bright light shot out from the ring.

It drew a bright trajectory in the air and finally turned into a piece of wind-thunder jade about ten feet in size, surrounded by thunder and whirlwinds.

Li Yuan's eyes were as sharp as an eagle's. After scanning the surroundings, he used his Yuan force to wrap the voice, so that every word was clearly transmitted to the ears of every Yuan person:

“I am willing to take out this piece of Wind and Thunder Jade and present it to you.

"Please give me, Li, some face and don't disturb my competition with Senior Yin Mingwei."

As soon as the words fell, a whisper broke out.

Some Yuanzhe showed hesitation on their faces, obviously shaken by the huge temptation of Fengleimingyu.

"Don't worry, we won't disturb your fight with Grandma Black." A strong man who seemed highly respected spoke first and instantly calmed the restlessness around him.

Soon after, more and more powerful men spoke in agreement, and their eyes gradually shifted from Li Yuan to the wind and thunder jade.

A gleam of greed flickered in his eyes, as if he had already seen the possibility of advancing to the Huawen realm after possessing this priceless treasure.

The atmosphere in the stone hall therefore underwent a subtle change.

The scene that was originally in chaos due to the fight for gold ingots was temporarily calmed down due to the appearance of Feng Lei Ming Yu.

Those Yuanists who were fighting fiercely for the low-level treasures stopped and cast their greedy eyes towards the Wind and Thunder Jade thrown by Li Yuan.

Seeing this, Li Yuan raised a faint smile.

This move of his had successfully diverted the attention of the powerful men around him, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
