When Meng Li was still in the tower, he received Commander Cao's message. As soon as he came out, he used psychic power to check on Lu Li. He was ashamed and angry.
When a tiger fell from grace, he would be bullied by a dog.
At first, Meng Li felt it was a pity that he could not kill Lu Li. Now, Lu Li had come to him with a clear purpose. Was Meng Li going to kill Meng Li?
If Meng Li were in his prime, he would be happy when Lu Li came to him. But now, Meng Li was upset.
Meng Li's injuries were neither serious nor light. Over half of his divine energy was corroded and that flying sword was lost.
Therefore, Meng Li was not confident that he could kill Lu Li at this moment. The fact that Lu Li could escape from the Phantom Master made Meng Li afraid.
A wise man would not jump into a dangerous situation. Naturally, Meng Li did not want to take the risk!
Therefore, when he came out, he just threw Lu Li a hateful glare and then flew away. Commander Cao charged toward Lu Li, bellowing.
"Buzzing ~"
The void worms that filled the sky flew over. A bead appeared in Commander Cao's hand. The bead emitted a cold aura that enveloped the space around him for dozens of feet.
In the cold air, the Worms of the Void slowed down. Previously, they were as fast as lightning but now, they were running like sheep.
As soon as the Worms of the Void slowed down, they posed no threat to Commander Cao. Commander Cao dashed across the sky and passed by the Worms of the Void.
Around him, Divine Talismans danced around. Those Divine Talismans could not only deal with specters but also physical attacks. It was intimidating.
"Swish ~"
The Ghost of the Slayer came but was stopped by several Divine Talismans. The Slayer's Ghost of the Slayer seemed to be intimidating but it was not as powerful. It would be difficult for him to kill a warrior at the peak of the third tribulation.
"Blood Fairy, order Phantom to attack the one in front of us!"
It was not difficult for Lu Li to kill Commander Cao. Lu Li could crush Commander Cao with physical strength alone.
That being said, Lu Li wanted to test Phantom's ability. Phantom's abilities had been enhanced after eating so many specters. This man would be a perfect test subject.
"Buzzing ~"
The Ghost Pearl shone brightly and a black shadow soared into the sky, covering half the sky. A sinister aura permeated the surroundings, causing Commander Cao, who was rushing over, to shiver.
He widened his eyes and looked over. He saw a huge ghostly figure standing proudly in midair like a giant demon. That hideous and terrifying appearance was enough to make one's heart tremble.
"Hu hu!"
A cold wind blew, and the ghostly figure danced in the air. Like a gust of cold wind, it instantly arrived beside Commander Cao.
Commander Cao was shocked. He immediately controlled the divine talisman to fly and spin around him.
Gui Ying was also a spirit body, similar to a ghost. These divine runes should be able to cause great harm to him, right?
He was wrong. Ghostly Shadows were indeed similar to Specters. They were both soul bodies.
However, Specter Shadows were much stronger than Specters.
Divine talismans could indeed hurt souls, but a small fireball could hurt a bird. Could it hurt a golden-winged roc?
After passing through the divine runes, the ghostly shadow paused for a moment. Then, it transformed into a gust of wind and rushed into Commander Cao's body.
He felt a powerful, evil energy enter his body and rush toward his soul. Commander Cao's entire body began to tremble.
He had a defensive treasure in his soul, but he didn't have a powerful demonic soul. Not to mention this ghostly shadow, even if a Specter entered his soul, he wouldn't have the confidence to block it.
"Ah, ah, ah!"
Soon, he cried out miserably and rolled around in midair. Lu Li used psychic power to check and nodded.
The ghostly shadow was strong indeed. It was attacking Commander Cao's soul directly. At the moment, Commander Cao's soul was about to be destroyed.
"Boom!"
In the time for merely five breaths, Commander Cao fell down. His eyes were still filled with terror. His armor, Interspatial Ring, and the divine runes floated in midair and fell off automatically.
"Whoosh!"
Lu Li rushed over and put away Commander Cao's Interspatial Ring and the ghostly shadow. Lu Li grinned and went after Meng Li.
He was as fast as an initial stage of the fourth tribulation after releasing his dragon wings. Meng Li was slower than him and he was injured. Lu Li believed that he could catch up with him soon.
As he had expected!
In the time for two incense sticks to burn, Lu Li saw a man in front of him. Meng Li noticed Lu Li as well.
Meng Li was taken aback. He had thought that Commander Cao could survive for an hour. He didn't expect that Lu Li would catch up so soon.
It didn't take Lu Li long to kill Commander Cao.
Commander Cao was not injured at all. A warrior at the peak of the third tribulation in his prime could not stand Lu Li for an instant. Lu Li was more powerful than Meng Li had imagined.
Fight?
Meng Li was not sure. If he had the flying sword, he might have a chance. But without it, what could he rely on to fight?
He could not run away. Lu Li was faster than him.
He could neither fight nor run so he had to talk.
Meng Li calmed himself down and suppressed his anger. He took a few deep breaths, stood in midair and said, "Fourth Brother of Lu, can we talk?"
Lu Li stood 30 miles in front of Meng Li. He smiled and said, "Talk?
How do you want to talk? "
Meng Li thought about it and said, "Let's forget about the past. When I go back, I will find a way to transfer you away from the Valley of Ghosts. I will let you go to a better position and enjoy better treatment."
"Ha, ha!"
Lu Li sneered. Meng Li did not paint a pretty picture. Since he was going to paint a picture, why not make it better?
Lu Li shook his head and said, "If that is all, Young Master Meng, you don't have to go on. Don't try to stall for time. Your secret escorts will not come back so soon. You know how fast Specter King is. Even if he can escape, he will not come back so fast."
Meng Li's eyes flickered. He thought about it and said, "I have a lamp here. It is a rare treasure. If I can get to the exit, I will give it to you.
Also, you have seen the power of my flying sword. I will send someone to find it and give it to you. "
"Flying sword?"
Lu Li was surprised. Then he put on a smile. The Interspatial Ring on his hand glowed and a green sword came out. He waved it and asked, "Are you talking about this one?"
"What …"
Meng Li's eyes were wide open as if he had seen a ghost. Without his order, his flying sword would keep attacking Specter King until the energy in the sword ran out.
How did Lu Li get this sword?
"Wait a minute!"
Meng Li stared at the small sword and found that it was surrounded by black fog. He tried to control the flying sword, but he felt that there was no spiritual connection between him and the flying sword.
"Specter King!"
Soon, he figured it out. It must be because of Specter King. Specter King had used ghost energy to cause problems with the sword.
The ghost energy might have corroded Meng Li's spiritual imprint and affected the glyphs inside. That was why the sword was now a piece of junk. He could no longer control it. Naturally, Meng Li could no longer attack Specter King.
That was indeed the case. After a while, the sword fell down by itself.
Since Feng Biao was being chased by Specter King, he had no chance to put the sword away. Lu Li took advantage of this.
Playing with the small sword in his hand, Lu Li said with a light smile, "I picked up this sword. It is mine now. Don't you think it is shameless of you to trade with me with something that belongs to me?"
"You …"
Meng Li was so angry that he almost spat out blood. Lu Li was really shameless. A glint of red light rose in Meng Li's eyes as he asked, "You can't do this or that. What do you want?"
"It's simple. Destroy the pellet yourself!"
