Su Yueqin was not here for fun. She was here to get revenge on Lu Li.
He and Meng Li could be said to be childhood sweethearts. Meng Li was both her friend and her pursuer. Their relationship was very complicated.
She knew that Meng Li went to the Valley of Ghosts. She understood that Meng Li was trying to help her. Now that Meng Li was in trouble, she had to do something.
She hated Lu Li to the core. She wanted to send him to the Valley of Ghosts to kill him. Little did she know that Lu Li was living a comfortable life. She was happy that Meng Li was helping her.
She could not sit still when the news about Meng Li spread out. Lu Li, a bastard, had rebelled against her?
How dare he disable Meng Li and take her hostage?
She was the cause of all this. Naturally, she wanted to put an end to it. Therefore, she teleported to the Netherworld City and flew over on a battleship.
When they passed by a small city, a patriarch wanted to get some information. There were many people in the city so he had to use psychic power to check.
Su Yueqin took a look and found Lu Li at once.
She had a deep impression of Lu Li. Even though Lu Li was in disguise, she was able to detect his qi and energy and confirm his identity.
She wasn't even sure if she had the Star Moon Divine Body, but she knew that she was different from others in some aspects. For example, when it came to scouting people, she could easily recognize them no matter how they disguised themselves.
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!"
There were hundreds of warriors on the battleship and two patriarchs of the fourth tribulation.
Even though Brother Three of the Meng Family was here, the Su Family was still worried that the Goddess would act alone. Therefore, they sent two regular patriarchs to protect her.
All the warriors were shocked. The two patriarchs glared at Lu Li coldly. The warriors around Lu Li were scared. They had been looking for him all over the world. Little did they know that Lu Li was here. They almost let him into the city!
"Hoy!"
A leader next to Lu Li reacted quickly. He unsheathed his saber and cut at Lu Li's head.
He almost caused a disaster. Now that the Goddess was here, he would die for sure if he did not try his best to remedy the situation.
"Boom!"
Lu Li swung his fist. The horrifying strength knocked away the leader's saber. Lu Li's fist continued forward and landed on the leader's chest.
"Boom!"
This commander flew into the air, a bloody hole in his chest. His bones and internal organs were all shattered, and it seemed like he wouldn't be able to survive.
Even though Lu Li had killed a leader at the later stage of the Third Tribulation Realm with one punch, he was not happy at all. Instead, he was solemn. Many thoughts flashed through his mind as he analyzed the situation and tried to find a way out.
Now that his whereabouts had been discovered, it was impossible for him to hide. He reckoned that countless experts would soon swarm over here. It would be a dream for him to hide.
Since there was no way to hide, there was only one way left, and that was to escape!
Escape from Hell Island!
There were two ways to escape. The first was to use the Phantom King to escape, and the second was to use the Godspeed Boat to escape.
Both methods had their pros and cons. The first method might allow him to be intercepted by the powerhouses of the Meng Clan. The second method would make him a target of scorn. The entire Devil Sea would begin to hunt him down.
Neither of the two options was a good one. Lu Li was in a dilemma.
While Lu Li was struggling, Su Yueqin and the two patriarchs didn't. The three of them flew over in three streaks of white light, trying to kill Lu Li directly.
The two patriarchs were average patriarchs, but as far as they were concerned, Lu Li was just a nobody that they could kill at any time.
They could kill a warrior at the peak of the Third Tribulation Realm, let alone the Second Tribulation Realm.
As for … the Phantom King?
The two patriarchs didn't believe it. They thought it was some kind of illusion created by Lu Li.
How could a warrior at the Second Tribulation subdue a Phantom King?
That was a bit too much.
Seeing Su Yueqin running towards him, Lu Li made a crazy decision in a split second — he would kill the two patriarchs and capture Su Yueqin.
Taking Meng Li as a hostage didn't seem to make much sense. But Su Yueqin was different because she was a goddess.
She was the legendary Body of Stars and Moon, which was very important to the Hell Palace.
If he could capture Su Yueqin, he believed that nobody would dare to do anything to her in front of the powerful warriors of the Meng Family. By then, he could swagger out of Hell Island.
Having made up his mind, Lu Li acted swiftly and decisively.
With a turn of his body, he grabbed a few soldiers and threw them high up into the air to stop them from approaching.
After throwing out a few people, he used the Unfettered Steps and ran away without looking back.
Yes, he ran away. He didn't take action right away because Su Yueqin and the two patriarchs were all at the Fourth Tribulation Realm. He could be killed if he was not careful.
Naturally, he wouldn't run into the wild, which would be suicidal.
He dashed into the city. The Hell Palace was filled with their people. Lu Li didn't have any concerns. Su Yueqin and the two patriarchs couldn't just kill people in the city.
As long as the three of them were restrained, Lu Li would have a chance.
He went directly to the Mansion of the Mayor which had the most people. There were thousands of warriors in the Mansion of the Mayor.
"Whoosh!"
The two patriarchs and Su Yueqin went after him at once. They were enraged to see Lu Li running into the Mansion of the Mayor.
But the two patriarchs were scornful. Did Lu Li think that they couldn't kill him because he ran into the crowd?
The two patriarchs dashed into the Mansion of the Mayor. One of the patriarchs shouted, "Spread out!"
The two patriarchs didn't mind if some average warriors killed Lu Li by mistake. What was more, they didn't plan on using long-range attacks. As long as they could get close to Lu Li, it would be a piece of cake to kill him.
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh ~"
The warriors of the Mansion of the Mayor recognized the jade talismans the patriarchs had. Many of them flew to all sides.
Su Yueqin wanted to go down but there were too many people and it was too messy. She decided to stay in midair to control the situation and see where Lu Li could run to.
"Good!"
Lu Li was delighted to see that Su Yueqin didn't come down. It would be easier for him to kill the two patriarchs.
Su Yueqin had a fragment of a Holy Weapon which was so powerful that Lu Li didn't have the courage to go after her first.
He dashed into a castle and so did the two patriarchs. One of them had a spear in his hand and the other had claws. They were as fast as ghosts and they attacked almost at the same time.
"Nice!"
Lu Li sneered to himself but he put on a frightened expression. The mountain in his hand glowed and a man appeared in his hand. Lu Li grabbed the man's neck and blocked the spear coming at him from the left.
At the same time, the mountain glowed again. A shadow came out and dashed toward the patriarch on the right. As soon as the shadow came out, a surge of horrifying qi and energy spread across the entire city.
"What …"
Countless soldiers who flew up trembled, and their eyes were filled with fear. This was the instinctive fear that humans had towards powerful creatures.
"Young Master Li?"
The patriarch with a spear on the left saw Lu Li carrying a man and smashing towards him. When the patriarch saw who it was, his spear trembled in fear.
He was just a regular patriarch and his status was much lower than Meng Li's. Meng Li was the most powerful warrior among the young generation of the Meng Family.
The other patriarch was scared out of his wits. He had never seen a Phantom King, not to mention a Phantom King that was so small. He didn't know that the Phantom King had only shrunk.
Be it small or big, the qi and energy of the Phantom King had frightened him. He felt he was facing a warrior at the later stage of the Fourth Tribulation or even at the peak.
