Uncle Li was trying to figure out a way as well. However, as soon as he broke free from the vines, the thunderbolts came down again and he was struck down again.
As for Yan Zhen, he was struck again before he could break free. He had the Primordial Spirit Treasure but the thunderbolts this time were too violent. The thunderbolts seeped into their bodies and began to hurt them.
Thunderbolts had a special characteristic, which was to numb people and make their souls tremble.
Therefore, for the time for two breaths, Lu Li and Yan Zhen could not do anything. The vines from all sides would wrap them up.
Similar to the branches in the Dark Forest, the vines were strengthened by Formations that made it difficult to tear them apart.
When the two of them finally broke out of the vines with much difficulty, the lightning in the sky came crashing down again.
The Tomb of Beast King was the core of the Ancient Demon Dead Ground!
Naturally, the Inhibition Formations here were the strongest. Beast King would not allow anyone to get close to his tomb. The Inhibition Formations here came with a set.
If it were not Uncle Li and Yan Zhen, other supreme warriors from the Divinity, they would have been killed by the thunderbolts.
After being struck for five times, Uncle Li forced himself to calm down or else both he and Yan Zhen would die here.
He paid no more attention to Yan Zhen's shouts and didn't try to tear the vines apart. Instead, he began to think.
First of all, this was clearly a trap set up by Lu Li.
The thunderbolts were not this powerful before. Lu Li must have enhanced them in a special way.
It was difficult to destroy the vines completely. After all, there were too many of them. Under constant thunderbolts, Uncle Li's injuries would worsen. He didn't have much time to destroy the vines.
As for escaping underground, that was impossible!
This was because there was a very strong restriction underground, and there were countless vines that prevented him from escaping.
Therefore, Uncle Li only had two options. Either he could negotiate with Lu Li or he could take a pellet that could enhance his abilities, break free from the vines and run away.
This pellet was similar to the one Lu Li took before, but it was not as powerful as the one Lu Li took.
It could only double his abilities and the effect could only last for the time for two incense sticks to burn. If he could not get away within that time, he would end up in a worse situation!
"Let's do it both ways!"
Uncle Li made up his mind after some thoughts. Instead of struggling to get out, he shouted, "Lu Li, stop. Let's talk!"
"You won't die now. Tell me, what do you want to talk about?"
Lu Li's voice came after the time for half an incense stick to burn. His tone was calm but it was harsh to Uncle Li and the others.
Suppressing his anger, Uncle Li said, "We admit defeat this time. I represent the Black Flame Hall to negotiate with you. State your conditions!"
"You can represent them?"
Lu Li was doubtful. He said without any hesitation, "Didn't you say that you are at the bottom of the Hall of Black Flames?
You don't have the right to represent the Blackflame Hall, do you? "
"Bullshit!"
Uncle Li roared furiously, "I'm the commander of the Black Flame Hall, I've always been in charge of the Divine World.
Yan Zhen's status in the Black Flames Hall is also not ordinary. His father, Yan Hong, is an elder of our Black Flames Hall. Naturally, the two of us can represent the Black Flames Hall. At least … we can make decisions in the Divine Domain. "
"Oh?"
Lu Li was still skeptical. That being said, it was a pleasant surprise that Yan Zhen was the son of a patriarch of the Black Flames Hall. It meant that Lu Li had more leverage.
Lu Li thought about it but the formation of thunderbolts did not stop. The thunderbolts kept on attacking.
For Lu Li, the more injured they were, the safer he would be. Wouldn't it be better if he could take them down and then negotiate?
Uncle Li was getting impatient since Lu Li did not reply. The longer they waited, the worse their injuries would be.
By then, Lu Li would have the upper hand. Uncle Li would not be able to get away even if he took the pellets.
Therefore, Uncle Li said hurriedly, "Lu Li, we can drop the matter of Zuo Qiulu. We will go back to the Divinity at once. The Black Flames Hall will give up the Divinity's interests and we will not target you anymore. What do you say?"
Clearly, Uncle Li was stalling. Even if Lu Li and Yan Zhen took an almighty oath, it would be pointless.
When they went back to the Divinity, the other warriors of the Black Flames Hall could go down to the mortal world. By then, the warriors of the Black Flames Hall would be more powerful …
Lu Li was well aware of this. He did not mind Uncle Li's words. After a moment of silence, he said, "Let me think about it!"
"Shameless ~"
Uncle Li was enraged. Clearly, Lu Li was stalling so that the two would be more injured. By then, they would not be able to run away and would be at Lu Li's mercy.
Uncle Li would not let this happen. He thought of an idea and yelled, "Lu Li, I will give you the time for one incense stick to burn. If you have not made up your mind by then, we will have to put up a life-and-death struggle!"
The time for one incense stick to burn?
The thunderbolts could be used for another three times. Lu Li remained silent. After the third thunderbolt, he said, "I think your proposal is okay, but your words are not credible. So, I need you to contact someone with enough credibility to talk to me.
I don't think it will be difficult for you to send an avatar of the Black Flames Hall to the mortal world.
For example, ask Yan Zhen's father's avatar to take an almighty oath and promise to give up the Divinity in front of people of the Land of Youyan. From now on, the Black Flames Hall will no longer be my enemy. Then, I will let you go! "
"Eh?"
After the time for one incense stick to burn, Lu Li was attacked three more times. This was unexpected.
Uncle Li was furious. Yan Zhen didn't see anything wrong with Lu Li's offer but Uncle Li knew it was impossible.
First of all!
The Hall of Black Flame would not compromise even if they were killed by Lu Li.
For the Black Flames Hall, the Black Flames Hall did not care about their lives. The Black Flames Hall cared more about their reputation.
Asking Yan Zhen's father, Yan Hong, to promise in front of people of the Land of Youyan?
The Land of Youyan was the territory of the Palace of Purity. Yan Hong's promise would soon reach the ears of the Palace of Purity and then the entire Second Heaven.
By then, the reputation of the Black Flames Hall would be ruined.
The Pavilion of Misty Drizzle was forced to make an agreement with a mortal of the nine universes. What would happen when the news spread in the Divinity?
The entire Pavilion of Misty Drizzle would become a laughing stock in the Divinity. Everyone from the Pavilion of Misty Drizzle would be ashamed in the Divinity.
Uncle Li's talk with Lu Li was a delaying tactic. Even if they didn't make an enemy out of Lu Li, the Black Flames Hall would send other powerful warriors down. Lu Li must be killed.
Therefore … Lu Li's request could not be fulfilled!
In other words, Uncle Li's first plan had failed, leaving him with only the second option. The Divine Power in his body surged as he tore apart the vines entangling him. His Space Ring flashed as he took out a black pill and swallowed it.
"Hoy!"
He bellowed into the sky. His qi and energy were growing at a speed visible to the naked eye. He took out a dueling sword and hacked at all sides, tearing apart all the vines.
"Yan Zhen, I will get you out of here!"
Uncle Li bellowed. He dashed over and tore apart the vines around Yan Zhen. Then, he carried Yan Zhen with one hand and dashed into the distance.
"Boom, boom ~"
Two dragons of lightning came down from the sky, chasing after the two. Once again, the two were hit and smashed down.
However, this time, Uncle Li dashed out at once. He carried Yan Zhen and flew away at a terrifying speed.
"He has taken the elixir?
This is troublesome … "
