The Phantom King and the Phantom Worm both had the word phantom in their names, but their meanings were completely different.
The Phantom Worm was named Phantom Worm because it could hide and lurk in the void worm.
The Phantom King was different. It was named Phantom Worm because it had an abnormally terrifying speed and was as fast as a phantom. Also, it was too powerful. It was like the king of beasts from the ancient times.
At this moment, the Phantom King's speed allowed Feng Biao, Meng Li, and the rest to witness the terror of this strange beast king. Before Commander Cao and Commander Long could even react, the Phantom King's sharp claws had already grabbed onto Meng Li.
"Buzz ~"
The armor on Meng Li's body emitted a bright white light. Powerful aura came from the armor as it blocked the claws of death with difficulty.
"Young Master!"
Feng Biao was very anxious. He had just joined Meng Li. If this new master died so easily, it would be for nothing.
Besides, Elder Yang had asked him to protect Meng Li. If Meng Li died, he wouldn't be able to live.
A broken sword appeared in his hand. His whole body was ignited with black flames. He spun in the air and turned into a black whirlwind, stabbing toward the back of the Phantom King.
"Boom!"
A dull sound was heard. The armor on Meng Li's chest couldn't withstand it in the end. It exploded layer by layer. The Phantom King's claws grabbed Meng Li's shoulder. Meng Li's body wasn't strong and was easily crushed.
Meng Li wasn't a good-for-nothing playboy. In the face of death, he finally reacted.
He controlled the flying sword to fly over like an aurora. At the same time, the three lamps nearby rushed toward the Phantom King like moths.
"Bang!"
Feng Biao's attack arrived. The green flying sword stabbed with terrifying power. The flames in the three lamps also had a very powerful aura.
The Phantom King had the chance to kill Meng Li directly. However, it was very intelligent. It knew that if it killed Meng Li, it would die too. Therefore, it could only turn into a shadow and move to the side.
"Rip ~"
The Phantom King reacted quickly but was still cut by Feng Biao's sword. A small piece of its wing was cut off and its leg was also cut by the green flying sword, leaving a deep wound.
"Roar, roar ~"
The Phantom King was enraged, and he let out a loud roar that shook heaven and earth. A ferocious aura spread out in all directions, startling Commander Cao and Commander Long, who were still in a state of shock.
The two of them looked at each other, and without any hesitation, they simultaneously released an attack in the direction of the Phantom King. Then … they rushed to Meng Li's side and dragged him away.
The armor on Meng Li's body was very powerful. Even an ordinary fourth tribulation martial artist would find it difficult to break it, but in front of the Ghost King, it was like a piece of paper.
Meng Li's realm was very high and his body was full of treasures, but his actual combat ability was too weak.
There was no need to even mention the two of them; if the Phantom King were to attack them, they would be instantly killed.
Therefore, without any hesitation, after they came to their senses, they immediately took Meng Li and fled.
If Meng Li died, they would all die, and their families would suffer.
Even if they die, they must protect Meng Li.
Hiss, hiss!
Meng Li sucked in a few breaths of cold air. His face was filled with pain, but he did not dare to make a sound.
He turned his head with difficulty and looked around. When he saw the Phantom King rushing toward Feng Biao, he heaved a sigh of relief in his heart.
Feng Biao's battle prowess was stronger than any of them. Even if he was not a match for the Phantom King, he could at least hold on for a while, giving them a chance to escape.
"Feng Biao, live well!"
He let out a long roar, and his speed reached the extreme as he flew into the distance.
If Feng Biao could survive, he would definitely give him a lifetime of glory and wealth.
"Fortunately, it's not an adult Phantom King!"
He sighed in his heart. This Phantom King was obviously too different in size from the legendary Phantom King. If it was an adult Phantom King, he would have been smashed into pieces by that strike just now.
"Uh, my Flying Dragon Sword!"
After flying for thousands of miles, Meng Li suddenly remembered something. He had controlled that flying sword to chase after the Phantom King, and he had forgotten to take it back.
That sword was an incomplete Sovereign Weapon. It had been refined by his great-grandfather for many years, and it was very spiritual.
If he didn't take it back, the Phantom King would continue to chase after him.
Now that they were so far away, he could no longer control the flying sword to fly back. Unless he returned to the battlefield, he could control the flying sword and take it back.
"Forget it!"
He thought about it and finally gave up on this idea. He didn't want to face the Phantom King again. The feeling of walking on the edge of death just now was too terrifying.
Most importantly, this was the Ghost World, a sealed world. People from the outside world couldn't enter, and the people here could only go to the Ghost Valley if they wanted to go out.
Therefore, this flying sword was safe here. He could ask his great-grandfather or the experts of Hell Island to come and take it back at any time.
An incomplete Sovereign Weapon was very precious, but life was even more precious. The wealthier a person was, the more they were afraid of death. They didn't live barefooted. They had too many things that they didn't want to lose, and they were afraid of losing.
"Alright!"
After flying for thousands of miles again, they were about to leave the Ghost Mountain. Meng Li completely relaxed this time. This Phantom King was not an adult yet, so it shouldn't leave the Ghost Mountain, right?
"I wonder if Feng Biao can survive?"
Finally out of the Ghost Mountain, Meng Li finally had time to take out recuperation medicine and swallow it. He was seriously injured. Not only was his shoulder scratched, but his internal organs were also injured.
Most importantly, there was a strange energy that invaded his body and was corroding the divine power in his body.
"What kind of energy is this?"
He was a little panicked. He didn't care about the corrosive divine power, but if it corroded his physical body and soul, he would probably die before he could return to the Ghost Valley.
"Don't panic, Young Master!"
Commander Cao looked in the direction of the Ghost Mountain with lingering fear and said, "Young Master, let's continue flying. It's not safe here.
Don't worry about the ghost power in your body. At most, it will corrode your divine power. When we return to the Ghost Valley, find Elder Huo, and he can easily help you solve it. "
"That's good, that's good!"
Meng Li nodded. Even if his divine power was gone, he could still cultivate. As long as his body didn't have any problems, it would be fine.
He looked in the direction of the Ghost Mountain with hatred. As he flew, he murmured, "I wonder if that brat Lu Si is still alive?
I'm so unlucky this time to encounter a Phantom King. "
"He can't live …"
Commander Cao said with certainty, "He took the combined attack of the three of us and is already seriously injured. What's more, he is in the middle of the battlefield. Feng Biao will not help him cover his retreat. He will definitely be torn apart by the Phantom King."
"What a pity!"
Meng Li looked regretful. The biggest mission this time was to kill Lu Li with his own hands, record it with the Memory Crystal, and give it to Su Yueqin.
Even if Lu Li died now, it wouldn't be his credit. This trip was a waste, and he was injured for nothing. He even lost his flying sword. It was a big loss.
"Oh, right!"
Commander Cao suddenly remembered something. Their army seemed to still be in the mountain. Just now, they were in a hurry and didn't pass by the army. Therefore, they didn't have time to inform them.
Now that they were almost out of danger, they couldn't just abandon the army. Those were their base. Commander Cao thought about it and said to Commander Long, "Old Long, why don't you make a trip? You don't have to go up the mountain. We have people at the foot of the mountain. Ask the scouts to send a message and let the army retreat."
