Among the towering mountains and precipitous ridges, a huge mountain rose up into the sky. The mountain was surrounded by dark fog, giving it a spooky look.
If the entire Ghost Mountain was a beast, then this mountain was the horn on the head of the beast.
Lu Li didn't want to take the risk before. But after Meng Li used the green sword, Lu Li had no other choice.
The green sword might not be able to stab him to death, but it would circle around him like a fly, buzzing in his ears. He could not get rid of it.
What he was worried about the most was the secret guard. That person was like a poisonous snake, lurking in the shadows. Lu Li could sense the existence of the secret guard, but he didn't know where he was.
Therefore, if the green sword kept attacking him, Lu Li would be exhausted and the secret guard would have a chance.
Once Lu Li showed an opening, the secret guard could stab him to death.
Lu Li rushed towards the mountain. He didn't go in a straight line. Instead, he took a detour around the mountain and approached it bit by bit.
They were not far away from the mountain. If he flew there directly, he could reach it in the time of one or two blinks.
But it would not end well for him. He would be the first one to go and he would be targeted by the powerful monster inside. He would die in an instant under the pincer attack.
He flew around the mountain and approached it bit by bit. In this way, the monster wouldn't be able to lock on to him.
Meng Li and the others were full of vigor. They kept attacking. Maybe the powerful being would lock on to them.
"Meng Li, your green sword is nice but it is not as good as Su Yueqin's Heaven Sword!"
While running, Lu Li shouted, "That Heaven Sword is very powerful. I played with it myself.
Well … maybe you don't know this, but Su Yueqin's skin is very good. It is as smooth as jade … "
"Ah, ah, ah ~"
Lu Li's words drove Meng Li crazy again. He had been in love with Su Yueqin for many years. They were childhood sweethearts and he had been in love with her since they were little.
For so many years, Su Yueqin was sometimes far away from him and sometimes close to him, which made him miserable.
Now, Lu Li had profaned his goddess again and again. How could Meng Li not be angry?
Commander Cao and Commander Long were enraged as well. They had been attacking Lu Li for a long time. Even though they had hit him several times, Lu Li was not seriously injured.
The two of them boasted that their battle prowess was not bad, but now they couldn't even kill a Second Tribulation Martial Artist. This made them feel very embarrassed.
They were furious, but they didn't care that Lu Li was leading them in circles.
They couldn't feel it, but Feng Biao, who was lurking nearby, felt that something was wrong.
He was a top-notch assassin and had an innate intuition for danger. He could sense that there was some danger at the highest peak, but because it was too far away, he couldn't sense it very clearly.
"Young Master!" He thought for a moment and transmitted his voice to Meng Li, "Do you need my help?
I'm confident that I can stab him to death with one strike! "
"No need!"
Meng Li was furious at the moment, so how could she let Feng Biao interfere?
What was more, his flying sword had left wounds on Lu Li over and over again. He was confident that he could cut Lu Li into pieces with his own hands.
He needed to kill Lu Li with his own hands to show his sincerity.
If he let Feng Biao do it, how would his Memory Crystal record the scene?
If he sent the scene of Feng Biao stabbing Lu Li to death to Su Yueqin, she might not appreciate it.
"This should be enough."
Lu Li realized that he was only two thousand miles away from the peak. He had already sensed danger up ahead. He turned around and flew up. Meng Li and the others flew up as well.
Suddenly, Lu Li stopped. He took out his saber and made a Ghost Slayer move. At the same time, he used Dragon Roar to shout, "Meng Li, don't push me too far. Otherwise, if you get out of here, I will tell the entire Island of Hell about Su Yueqin."
"You still want to go out?"
Meng Li bellowed. Seeing that Lu Li had stopped, Meng Li swung his saber at Lu Li. At the same time, Commander Cao and Commander Long launched their own attacks.
"Boom!"
This time, Lu Li didn't dodge. He was cut down by the ray of sword light. Commander Cao and Commander Long's attacks landed on Lu Li as well. He was smashed into the ground.
"Boom, boom, boom!"
The ray of sword light was so powerful that it didn't slow down after Lu Li was smashed down. The sword light landed on the mountain.
The entire mountain trembled. Mud and stones were splashed around. Dust billowed and the noise was earth-shattering.
"Roar ~"
Right at that moment, from the top of the mountain came a roar. Following that, a surge of horrifying qi and energy spread down and enveloped Meng Li and the others.
"Oh no!"
Feng Biao was taken aback. The beast was so ferocious that he felt suffocated.
He used psychic power to check. He trembled and shouted, "Phantom King?"
"Phantom King?"
Commander Cao and Commander Long's bodies trembled violently. They saw a giant beast soar into the sky from the mountain. The giant beast was light blue in color and had a pair of wings on its back. Its head was like a wolf's, but it had horns.
Its body was upright, and it had sharp claws and a long tail. Its pair of blood-red eyes caused Commander Cao and Commander Liu's hearts to turn cold.
They would never forget the appearance of this monster for the rest of their lives. The two of them remembered it very clearly. It was the scene where they had followed the powerhouses of the Underworld Palace to exterminate the Phantom King. The monster in front of them was the Phantom King.
The Phantom King was the most powerful being in the Ghost Realm.
Once they encountered the Phantom King, even average patriarchs would die, not to mention powerful leaders like them.
Only two of the 10 patriarchs could stand against the Phantom King. The other patriarchs would lose their lives if they fought the Phantom King alone.
There were less than 10 Phantom Kings left, weren't there?
Weren't they driven into the deep sea and afraid to come out?
Why would there be a Phantom King at the Ghost Mountain?
"We are doomed …"
That was the first thought that came to Commander Cao and Commander Long's mind. They even gave up on fighting back and running away. Facing the Phantom King, they felt like they were children facing a tiger. They could not escape death.
Meng Li had never seen the Phantom King before, but he felt cold all over as well. It was a terrible feeling, as if he could not control his own fate.
He had all kinds of treasures, but he might not be able to stop this monster.
He had some understanding of the Ghost Realm. The only thing that could threaten his life was the Phantom King. He didn't expect that he would be so unlucky.
"Powerful. This is the Phantom King?"
Lu Li was smashed into the mountain, but he was not seriously injured. However, he forgot about his injuries at the moment. All he felt was coldness.
He knew there was a powerful being in the mountain, but he didn't expect it to be the Phantom King.
"Wait —"
Commander Cao suddenly realized something. He shouted, "This is not an adult Phantom King. This one is much smaller. I think it is still underage. Young Master, run. We will cover you!"
"Whoosh!"
Before Commander Cao could do anything, Feng Biao had already dashed out toward the Phantom King. He shouted, "You two, protect Young Master and leave this place. I will handle this!"
Feng Biao had to come out because the Phantom King was staring at Meng Li. Meng Li's attack was too powerful and she was the strongest here.
Even though Lu Li was at the forefront, he should be the first to be sensed by the Phantom King.
But Lu Li was smart. He was smashed down and his qi and energy were weakened. It seemed that he was badly injured.
The Phantom King's Spiritual Intelligence was very high. Even though this Phantom King had not matured, it was still very high.
A group of humans was attacking its lair. Naturally, the Phantom King would kill the most powerful one first.
To the Phantom King, Lu Li was a puny creature that it looked down on.
"Roar ~ ~"
