Meng Li had a deep memory of the Phantom King. He was almost killed by the Phantom King in one move. If it weren't for Feng Biao's help and his quick reaction, he would have been dead by now.
Though the Phantom King was underage, he was strong. Meng Li believed that even an average fourth tribulation immortal could not kill the Phantom King, let alone capture it.
How could Meng Li and Commander Long not be shocked when Lu Li carried the Phantom King in like a dead dog?
While they were shocked, they had a new assessment of Lu Li's abilities.
When Lu Li captured Meng Li, he did not use any powerful moves. He only used the Worms of the Void and the Ghost Slayer to injure the Phantom King bit by bit.
It was the same for Commander Long. Lu Li was only using his body to withstand the Phantom King's attacks, risking his life.
These were common moves. If that were all, Meng Li and Commander Long believed that Lu Li could not hurt the Phantom King, let alone capture him.
So, Lu Li must have been hiding his strength?
Or … Lu Li didn't see them as real opponents at all. He didn't need to use his trump card to fight against them.
Of course, it was also possible that Lu Li had a piece of treasure that he did not take out when he was fighting them.
"Yes!"
Meng Li took a look at the immortal's body and nodded. He did not connect the immortal's body to Emperor Zi's body but he could tell that the immortal's body was extraordinary.
The mountain was a treasure as well. Meng Li could not tell that it was the Nine Mysterious Mountains but a warrior of the second tribulation had so many treasures. This in itself was proof that Lu Li was not an ordinary person.
Lu Li paid no attention to Meng Li and Commander Long. He stared at the Phantom King, thinking about how to tame this powerful beast.
Others would not be able to do this because they could not communicate with the Phantom King.
Lu Li had Blood Fairy!
Blood Fairy could communicate with beasts. Back in the days, she tamed two Beasts of Primordial Chaos.
Of course, that was purely cooperation. This time, Lu Li planned to have the Phantom King set up a contract with him so that he could control the Phantom King's life.
The Phantom King was still a minor, so it was the best time to tame it. When the Phantom King was an adult, it would be much more difficult.
Powerful monsters all had their own pride, and it was not easy for them to submit.
Lu Li looked at the Phantom King who was covered in wounds. He thought about it and dashed into another side chamber.
He tossed the Specter King onto the ground and ordered the Void Worms to start gnawing on the Specter King's body.
He caused the Phantom King to suffer unbearable pain and have a mental breakdown.
"Buzz!"
Lu Li told Blood Fairy to come over and set up runes in this side hall in case the Phantom King would destroy this place. Though the Phantom King's claws were destroyed, his physical body was still strong.
After the time for several incense sticks to burn, Blood Fairy laid out some patterns. Lu Li told the Worms of the Void to chew on Blood Fairy's body while Specter tortured her soul.
He was going to torture the Dark Spirit King both physically and spiritually. He was going to make the Dark Spirit King feel like it was looking at a demon. Only then would the Dark Spirit King submit to him.
Such powerful monsters had their own pride and dignity. In their eyes, humans were just insignificant creatures, like maggots.
Do you think it's possible for a human to submit to a maggot?
Only by completely shattering their confidence and pride could they be completely subdued.
Bang!
Lu Li threw the Specter King away. The Specter King crawled back up, roaring.
At this moment, the Worms of the Void and Specter were acting up at the same time. The Phantom King was in great pain. The Phantom King screamed but realized that the Worms of the Void and Specter were both in its body. The Phantom King was at a loss and had to charge at Lu Li.
"Boom!"
Without the claws, the Phantom King was no different from a toothless tiger. In addition, the Phantom King was badly injured. Its abilities were weakened in all aspects.
Lu Li used the Trace of Dao to control the Phantom King's movements. He landed a punch on the Phantom King and smashed it away.
"Roar, roar!"
"Bang!"
"Roar, roar, roar!"
"Bang, bang, bang!"
The Phantom King charged at Lu Li again and again, only to be smashed away. Lu Li's punches landed on the Phantom King without mercy. The Phantom King was covered in cuts and bruises.
The Phantom King was enraged. It crawled up again and again and charged at Lu Li. It had lost its claws, but it still had its teeth. The Phantom King wanted to bite Lu Li to death.
However, its wings were broken. The Worms of the Void and Specter in its body had been attacking constantly. The Phantom King was in pain all the time and it was badly injured. How could it hurt Lu Li?
Lu Li stood there coldly. Every time, he could smash the Phantom King away. Despite its small size, the Phantom King possessed great strength.
Compared to the Phantom King, the Phantom King was like a strong man and a bunny.
However, when this little rabbit moved its hands, it could easily send the robust man flying.
Admittedly, the Phantom King was strong. Even though it was badly injured and being bitten by the Worms of the Void and Specter, the Phantom King was able to get up again and again. It took the Phantom King two hours to struggle.
Two hours later, the Phantom King could no longer move. It was covered in wounds and the hall was covered in blood.
Lying on the ground, the Phantom King panted like a dying dog. But its blood-red eyes were still staring at Lu Li, filled with hatred and anger.
"Buzzing ~"
Lu Li took out the Relic metal but did not activate it. The Relic had no more divine energy. Lu Li walked toward the Phantom King with the Relic metal in his hand.
"Roar, roar ~"
The Phantom King bellowed, but it was trembling and its eyes were filled with fear.
The Phantom King was highly intelligent. Naturally, it knew that the artifact was powerful. Its arms and wings were all smashed by the Relic metal.
Lu Li took out the Relic metal. Was he going to kill the Phantom King?
Was he going to die?
The Phantom King struggled to its feet and stepped back slowly. Its eyes were filled with fear. Clearly, the Phantom King was scared. It looked at Lu Li with fear as well.
Maybe … to the Phantom King, Lu Li was no longer a puny human being, but a horrifying demon.
Lu Li stepped forward and the Phantom King stepped back. After a while, the Phantom King reached a corner. It had nowhere else to go.
Under normal circumstances, given that there was no way out, this Phantom King should have rushed up to Lu Li and tried to take him down with it, right?
However, the Phantom King did not move. It crouched in the corner, shivering.
It was scared!
"Good …"
Seeing this, Lu Li let out a sigh of relief. As long as the Phantom King was scared, the rest would be easy.
Blood Fairy came out of the wall, turned into a beam of red light, and rushed into the Ghost King's body. She began to communicate with him.
Lu Li did not move. He stood in front of the Phantom King, expressionless. Holding the Relic metal in his hand, he was ready to end the Phantom King's life at any moment.
Time moved on. The Phantom King's eyes were flickering with shame, anger, mockery, unwillingness, and struggle …
"Okay!"
An hour later, Blood Fairy's voice rang in Lu Li's mind, "The Phantom King agrees to surrender to you. But he must make a deal with you. After ten thousand years, you must let him go!"
"Ten thousand years?
Ha, ha, ha! "
Lu Li laughed. Ten thousand years was enough. By then, he might be stronger than the Phantom King. By then, the Phantom King would be useless.
