Lord of Bones

Chapter 727 Netherworld Black Anaconda
Li Yuan frowned slightly and asked in a deep voice, "Are you sure you can lead me to escape from the pursuit of Tianyun Sect?"

"About 70 to 80 percent." Mu Li responded calmly, "Si Xiaoyu and the others are already here.

"Hurry up and deal with that peak level five monster.

"Once your strength is exposed in front of them, you can imagine the consequences."

After saying that, Mu Li's figure flashed and disappeared from Li Yuan's sight like a ghost.

Immediately afterwards, a brilliant ray of light shot out from the void.

"The jade slip records the location where I will pick you up. You can only view the contents when the space in Shuiyun Palace is blocked."

Mu Li's voice floated lightly in the void, carrying a hint of irresistibility.

Li Yuan raised his hand and grabbed it, and the ray of light fell steadily into his palm, and then he put it into the ring.

He looked around, quickly identified the direction, leaped up, and like a flash of lightning, rushed towards the direction of the fifth-level peak monster.

.........

In the heart of the vast and deep forest, light is filtered through the layers of treetops, outlining totems of light and shadow on the ground.

Occasionally, the cries of birds could be heard, echoing in the forest that was almost silent, adding a sense of weirdness and ominousness to the area.

According to the information on the jade slip, the beast Li Yuan needs to kill in this mission is a Netherworld Black Anaconda that recently reached the peak of level five. It was also this beast that caused the beast tide catastrophe.

At this moment, it is like a sleeping emperor, perched on the top of a moss-covered, towering stone mountain.

The huge body tightly wrapped around almost half of the stone peak.

Li Yuan hid quietly in a dark area at the edge of the forest and slowly closed his eyes.

The soul power is like an invisible tentacle, carefully exploring the subtle fluctuations in every inch of space around it, looking for the best opportunity to escape.

When he opened his eyes again, there was a light of determination and wisdom in them, and the energy in his body was boiling, like a river bursting its banks, unstoppable.

With a move of his body, Li Yuan was like an enraged cheetah, his power burst out instantly, like a meteor, breaking the silence of the sky, leaving a trail of afterimages, and in an instant he appeared in front of the Netherworld Ink Anaconda.

Li Yuan waved his hand lightly, and lightning and thunder appeared in the sky.

Then, a long lightning and flame sword appeared out of thin air, with brilliant lightning and blazing flames surrounding the blade.

A slash of swordsmanship broke through the boundary of the void, leaving a fiery and dazzling track, pointing directly at the vital point of the Netherworld Ink Anaconda.

The Netherworld Black Anaconda displayed amazing reaction and strength. Its huge body suddenly tensed up at the critical moment, as if a sleeping dragon was awakened. It erupted with unprecedented terrifying power, dispersing the lightning flames that Li Yuan had slashed out.

The huge anaconda head was raised, and its deep beast eyes, like a deep black hole, revealed anger and murderous intent, making the entire forest tremble.

"How dare you, a tiny human, trespass into my territory? Today I will let you know what despair is!"

The Netherworld Black Anaconda spoke in human language, and its words were full of majesty and arrogance.

As it roared, the surrounding trees were impacted by an invisible force, branches and leaves flew everywhere, dust rose up, and chaos reigned between heaven and earth.

Although the attack missed, Li Yuan did not retreat. He moved nimbly around the huge body of the Netherworld Ink Anaconda, continuously swinging his bone knife, all accompanied by deafening thunder and blazing flames.

The Netherworld Black Anaconda roared continuously, twisting and circling in the air with its huge body, counterattacking with overwhelming force, trying to completely crush Li Yuan, the ant who dared to challenge its majesty.

"boom--"

Every time the two collided and clashed, a roar like the collapse of heaven and earth echoed in the forest, and the sharp sound of metal hitting each other was intertwined with the deafening roar of the Netherworld Ink Anaconda.

The scales of the Netherworld Ink Anaconda gleam with an iron-grey luster, and the thick inky fog lingering on them are like tentacles of the abyss, strange and dangerous, and it easily dissolves Li Yuan's attacks.

In the endless battle, Li Yuan was like a seagull in the gale, constantly changing his shape, with an unyielding fire burning in his eyes.

After the power of both sides reached its peak, a scale on the abdomen of the Netherworld Ink Anaconda cracked slightly because it could not withstand the continuous huge force impact, and a trace of inky blood quietly seeped out.

This subtle change was like a ray of light in the darkness, and was instantly captured by Li Yuanrui's eagle-like eyes.

His heart moved, and the energy in his body surged, as if resonating with the energy between heaven and earth.

Then, a drop of crystal clear liquid condensed on his fingertips, the liquid contained tremendous vitality and endless fluctuations of elemental force.

The complex elemental patterns inside it slowly move, emitting a heart-pounding aura.

As Li Yuanyuan's power continued to be infused, the drop of liquid gradually became transparent and hard, and finally turned into a thin needle.

The needle emits colorful lightning, like the bright stars in the night sky, and like the most deadly temptation in the depths of hell.

"Texture Technique: Blue Sky Divine Thunder Needle."

Li Yuan stretched out his body, performed space teleportation, and instantly appeared on the flank of the Netherworld Black Anaconda.

With a flick of his finger, the Azure Thunder Needle shot out like an arrow, carrying the power to tear everything apart, piercing through the void and heading straight for the huge body of the Netherworld Ink Anaconda.

The speed of the Blue Sky Divine Thunder Needle was so fast that it was beyond the reach of the naked eye, leaving a long and thin trail of light in the void.

In the light track, the five-colored lightning flames were like a violent tornado, swirling wildly, tearing the space apart, and leaving hideous void cracks.

"call out--"

The Netherworld Black Anaconda discovered the Azure Divine Thunder Needle almost at the same time, but it was too late.

The Azure Lightning Needle accurately pierced into the soft and defenseless flesh under the slightly cracked scales.

In an instant, time seemed to be pulled by an invisible force, becoming slow and heavy.

Then, the space around the Netherworld Black Anaconda suddenly twisted, as if cracks appeared in the sky.

Thirty thunder blades appeared out of nowhere, like the wrath of the god of thunder, carrying destructive power, and instantly enveloped the vital parts of the Netherworld Ink Anaconda.

Each Earthly Blade contained extremely powerful force, drawing brilliant tracks in the air and interweaving into a web of death.

For the first time, a mixture of disbelief and horror appeared in the eyes of the Netherworld Ink Anaconda.

"Bang bang——"

The huge body trembled violently under the bombardment of thirty Earth Demon Blades, and a very shrill howl came out of its mouth.

However, the wailing only lasted for a moment before it stopped abruptly.

The Netherworld Black Anaconda's once arrogant body collapsed to the ground in pain and despair. The dust it kicked up covered the sky like a dark cloud, causing the surrounding rocks to collapse.

Li Yuan landed beside the monster's huge corpse, his chest heaving violently, accompanied by heavy gasps.

Although this monster has only recently reached the peak of level five, its strength is powerful enough to compete with a human Yuanzhe at the peak of the Half-Step Transformation Realm.

If Li Yuan's cultivation had not reached the half-step transformation realm, it would have been difficult to kill him.

With a bitter smile on his lips, Li Yuan whispered to himself: “Mu Li left in a hurry, probably to avoid the battle with the Netherworld Ink Anaconda.

“Perhaps it was my appearance that made her decide to leave Tianyun Sect now.

“I’m afraid that if she gets involved with me, the Tianyun Sect will link their murderous intentions towards me to her.

“However, I feel that she seems to have other purposes for coming here.

"Although this Netherworld Black Anaconda is powerful, with Mu Li's strength, it will take some effort to kill it, but it is not difficult..."

Although Li Yuan had some doubts in his heart, he did not think too much about it. He raised his hand and pulled it. His fingertips seemed to be pulling an invisible thread, and the dark black inner pill in the Nether Ink Anaconda slowly emerged.

This is the key item to exchange for twelve thousand contribution points.

After putting away the inner elixir, Li Yuan was about to leave when a slight noise suddenly came from deep in the forest.

Two figures approached quickly, they were Si Xiaoyu and another guardian.

"You...destroyed this Netherworld Ink Anaconda by yourself?"

There was disbelief in Si Xiaoyu's tone, and her eyes looked back and forth between Li Yuan and the huge body of the monster, trying to find an answer.

Li Yuan shook his head slightly, a trace of sadness flashed in his eyes: "I fought together with Senior Brother Yu and the others, but in the end... all nine of them died."

"All nine Yunyin guards died?" Si Xiaoyu exchanged a glance with another guardian. In addition to being shocked, they also had doubts in their hearts, but more importantly, they had a new understanding of Li Yuan's strength.

Li Yuan did not explain too much, pointing to the huge body of the Netherworld Ink Anaconda: "A peak level 5 monster, its body is full of treasures, its value is immeasurable.

"Hurry up and clean it up. The materials on it should be able to exchange for a lot of Yuanshi."

Si Xiaoyu and the guardian looked at each other, and surprise suddenly appeared in their eyes.

With the strength of the two of them, even if they joined forces, they would never be a match for this level five peak monster.

"Are you sure... to give this to us?" the guardian confirmed.

Li Yuan nodded and said, “Time is short, this Netherworld Black Anaconda is the overlord of this area.

“Its fall will inevitably cause the surrounding monsters to become restless.

"We must leave as soon as possible to avoid unnecessary trouble."

Hearing this, Si Xiaoyu and the guardian no longer hesitated and quickly started cleaning up the corpse of the Netherworld Black Anaconda.

.........

"Whoosh whoosh—"

The curtain of night slowly fell, and the sky seemed to be swallowed up by a layer of deep blue-black.

Thousands of black feathered serpents, like puppets controlled by invisible hands, madly rushed towards the place where the Netherworld Ink Anaconda fell.

There was a violent killing intent in their animal eyes.

"This... so much!"

Si Xiaoyu and the other man, who had just finished cleaning up the corpse of the Netherworld Black Anaconda, looked up at the black waves that covered the sky and the moon, and their faces instantly turned as pale as paper.

Li Yuan stood in front, his eyes piercing through the heavy shadows, and said in a deep voice: "Take them as sharpening, collect their inner elixirs, which can make your contribution points soar, and become a formal guardian faster."

"There are many mid- to late-level fifth-level warriors in this herd. The three of us may not be able to hold on." The guardian standing with Si Xiaoyu frowned and analyzed the current situation. "Even if the three of us fight to the death, how many can we kill?

“The mission has been accomplished, there is no need to stay here.

"It is important to return to the sect as soon as possible."

Si Xiaoyu said with a barely perceptible tremor, "Now it's even a question whether we can break out."

Li Yuan turned around and looked at his two companions: "I won't let you die.

"Trust me and follow me.

"After you return to the sect, no matter who asks, just say that it was Mu Li who saved you."

After saying that, he stretched out his body and rushed into the surging herd of beasts in an instant like an arrow from a bow.

He formed seals with his hands, and Yuan Energy surged wildly in his body. It then transformed into dazzling streaks of Yuan Energy, which cut through the night sky and bombarded the black feathered snakes.

Each strike was accompanied by a loud explosion that pierced the clouds and split the rocks, as if the heaven and earth were being torn apart.

Si Xiaoyu and another guardian looked at each other and followed closely.

While dodging attacks from all directions, they quickly collected the inner core of the monsters killed by Li Yuan.

Although these third and fourth level monster inner cores cannot be directly exchanged for contribution points, they are precious resources in the outside world and are enough to exchange for a lot of materials and Yuanshi needed for cultivation.

Li Yuan displayed extraordinary strength, gradually opening up a path among the beasts, and rushed towards the direction of the sect's teleportation array.

"Boom——"

Suddenly, the sky seemed to be smashed open by an invisible hammer.

Then, a heart-pounding aura surged out from the black cloud of beasts.

The auras of thousands of level five monsters intertwined and spread in all directions like a tide, mixed with the powerful pressure of several level five late-stage monsters.

"This...how is this possible?

“Could it be that the main force of the monster army attacking the city was repelled?
"Turn and converge towards us?"

Si Xiaoyu widened her eyes in horror.

The leader of the monsters who launched the beast tide has been killed, and these retreating monsters should have been a chaotic and disorderly mob.

But at this moment, they seemed to be controlled by some force, becoming orderly and roaring in unison.

Their attacks combined into a devastating force that slammed towards Li Yuan and the other two.

"Not good. With such an offensive, we're afraid..."

The guardian who fought alongside Si Xiaoyu had not yet finished his words when he had already endured the concentrated fire of hundreds of monsters. His face turned pale, and he spat out a mouthful of blood, and his body was shaking.

The next moment, an even larger Netherworld Black Anaconda suddenly emerged from the core of the beast tide.

Its body was thicker and more powerful than the one Li Yuan had killed before, like the king of hell, and it was intimidating.

The Netherworld Ink Anaconda uttered human words: "Mu Li, you finally showed up.

"Huh? Why isn't Muli here?"

Li Yuan looked at the Netherworld Black Anaconda, doubts arose in his heart, and he seemed to have figured out the real purpose of Muli coming here.

He cursed in his heart: "This Mu Li is really cunning!"

Quickly sorting out his thoughts, he realized that the Netherworld Black Anaconda in front of him was the real leader behind this beast tide.

Moreover, the other party obviously has some control over Muli's whereabouts, and there may be some shocking secret between them.

After all, the twelve guardians who carried out the beheading mission could not be the opponents of the current Netherworld Black Anaconda.

"Mu Li, even though you plotted against me, I, Li Yuan, will never be manipulated by others.

"Sooner or later, I will get this debt back from you with interest!" Li Yuan swore secretly in his heart.

Following the order from the Netherworld Ink Anaconda, the attacks of the beast tide became more fierce.

Li Yuan and the other two seemed to be in the midst of a violent storm, with monsters roaring and attacking all around them.
