The destruction of the elixir was not a big deal for Meng Li. The Hell Palace had many top-level elixirs. As long as the elixir was not destroyed for several years, the Hell Palace could help Meng Li recover and it would not affect his future cultivation.
Destroying the elixir was not a big deal. Letting Lu Li leave the Hell Island was not a big deal. The key was the escort!
It would be fine if it were a regular escort. But clearly, Lu Li was taking Meng Li as a hostage to escape from the Hell Island. What would happen?
Meng Li's reputation would be ruined, not only for himself, but also for the Meng Family.
More importantly, his beautiful image in Su Yueqin's heart would be ruined. He would never have the chance to win her heart again.
For him, this was worse than death!
His great grandpa was one of the most powerful warriors in the Hell Palace. The Meng Family was a big family. Disciples of famous families had their pride and dignity. Meng Li's seniors told him that he would rather die than be humiliated.
Therefore, without any hesitation, Meng Li said, "Fourth Brother Lu, if you want to leave in safety, I promise you that I will do it.
But you want to take me as a hostage? That is impossible. I would rather die than be taken hostage. "
"Ha, ha, ha!"
Lu Li laughed and said coldly, "That is not up to you. If you want to die, you can kill yourself now. Don't dawdle like a girl."
"Whoosh!"
Lu Li wasted no more time. He flew over. The Bead of Ghost glowed and a ghostly shadow whooshed out. Lu Li knew that Meng Li's soul must be protected by an Enchanted Soul but he wanted to see if the ghostly shadow could break it.
"Swish ~"
At the same time, Lu Li released the Slayer's Ghost Cut. The Worms of the Void flew out from his body. Meng Li was strong in his own right and he had some treasures. Lu Li had to be careful.
Even a lion would use all its strength to catch a rabbit, not to mention that Meng Li was not a rabbit.
"Hoy!"
The saber in Meng Li's hand suddenly slashed out. The saber light fluctuated like water ripples, and the layers of water ripples swept through the space. Its power grew stronger and stronger, looking like a landslide and a tsunami. The saber light and the water ripples collided. The surrounding space shook violently, and a terrifying shockwave radiated in all directions.
Meng Li's attacks were ferocious. Lu Li's Ghost Slayer was destroyed easily. Lu Li's Worms of the Void and Phantom both came. Phantom was the fastest. He reached Meng Li at once.
The three lamps around Meng Li flew up to protect his body. At the same time, he took out the flag, which emitted a murderous aura and whistled towards the ghost shadow.
"Woo ~"
Ghastly Shadow let out a painful howl, but it still continued to rush towards Meng Li. After being attacked by the three lamps, Ghastly Shadow once again howled in pain. Ghastly Shadow also became translucent, obviously suffering from injuries.
The Ghost Shadow had no consciousness, so it would absolutely obey the orders of the Ghost Pearl's owner.
Therefore, although it was injured, it did not hesitate and continued to rush forward, entering Meng Li's body.
"Ha, ha!"
Meng Li sneered. He had an Enchanted Soul in his soul, a Fifth Rank Enchanted Soul. Since Phantom dared to go into his soul, it was asking to be humiliated. It was courting death.
"These worms …"
Meng Li focused his attention on the Worms of the Void. Like Commander Cao, at first, he thought they were Ghost Worms. The Worms of the Void were in shadows, and they looked like Ghost Worms.
On a closer look, it was different, but Meng Li did not care, because he thought that these insects were also soul bodies. His three lamps and flags could attack both soul bodies and physical bodies. Besides, he still had a demon soul.
"Phew, phew ~"
The flag flew over. The murderous aura swept over a group of Worms of the Void. The dark gold Worms of the Void died one by one. The dark ones, well, the Worms of the Void could still survive.
The three lamps flew over. Another group of Worms of the Void was killed. Some of the dark ones were killed as well.
There were too many Worms of the Void and they were fast. Still, many Worms of the Void entered Meng Li's body.
At first, Meng Li was not concerned. But soon, his expressions changed.
The Worms of the Void did not go to his soul. Instead, many of them went to his internal organs and began to gnaw at his physical body.
"Woo, woo ~"
Phantom whooshed out from Meng Li's head. The ghost's face was filled with pain and fear. It was weaker. Clearly, Meng Li had suffered serious injuries.
"Blood Fairy, let Phantom come back!"
Lu Li ordered. The Bead of Ghost glowed and Phantom came back.
The Enchanted Soul in Meng Li's soul was stronger than Lu Li had imagined. Phantom could not kill it.
Since Phantom could not be killed, then it was pointless to let Phantom go on. Instead, it would hurt Phantom, and it would be troublesome for Phantom to recover.
"Hiss, hiss ~"
Meng Li's face was twisted. He was trembling. His facial expressions were ferocious. Cold sweat ran down from his forehead. The Worms of the Void were gnawing at his internal organs.
Even though his internal organs had been refined in a special way, the dark Worms of the Void were too strong. His internal organs could not stand it. Even though they were gnawing slowly, Meng Li was still suffering.
"Okay!"
Lu Li nodded. He kept releasing the Slayer's Ghost Cuts. Meng Li was being attacked by the Worms of the Void. He could not even look after himself. His reflexes must be slowed down.
Meng Li was injured. The more he attacked, the more serious his injuries would be.
When Meng Li's injuries were serious enough, it would be easy to take him down.
As a matter of fact, if Lu Li were to take the risk and engage in close combat, there was a good chance that he could injure or even kill Meng Li.
That being said, Lu Li was worried about the three lanterns. Hence, he chose a safe strategy.
"Boom, boom, boom!"
Lu Li kept releasing the Slayer's Ghost Cuts. At first, Meng Li could use the ripples to survive. But later on, he could no longer stand it. The Worms of the Void were attacking him all the time. The pain slowed down his reflexes.
"Boom, boom, boom ~"
After more than a dozen attacks, Meng Li could not stand it anymore. He was smashed to the ground.
His armor was strong, but it was broken by the Phantom Master. Therefore, Meng Li had to rely on his physical body to withstand the Slayer's Ghost Cuts.
Lu Li did not stop even though he was smashed down. He released the Slayer's Ghost Cuts again and again. Not only the mountains nearby were shattered, but there was also a pit.
"Is this the end of me?"
Meng Li's eyes dimmed down. He did not have much ability to fight back. The only thing he could do was to use the three lanterns. However, as long as Lu Li was not close, the lanterns could not fly far.
"Suicide?"
Meng Li could not make up his mind several times. It was easy to die, but if he died, there would be nothing left. He, Meng Li, would be erased from this world. His glory, wealth, his beloved woman, his career, his family, everything would be gone.
If he did not die, then he would be captured!
Not only would he suffer humiliation, but his family would also be shamed. He would never be able to raise his head in the Underworld unless he left.
"Whoosh!"
