This Phantom King was an underage one. His abilities were only at the initial stage of the fourth tribulation. Yet, the Phantom King escaped from Feng Biao. This Phantom King was not very strong.
But in the Spirit Spring, the Phantom King consumed a lot of Spirit Spring Water which increased his abilities. Now, he was more powerful than before and his size was twice as big. He should be at the middle stage of the fourth tribulation.
The patriarch was at the initial stage of the fourth tribulation and he was frightened by the Phantom King. Naturally, his reaction speed was slowed down. He was so close to the Phantom King. The result was predictable.
"Swish ~"
The Phantom King dashed to the side of the patriarch. Finally, the patriarch came back to his senses.
He knew he could not run away. With a blue glare, a pair of gloves appeared on his arms. He smashed at the Phantom King's chest with his fists.
"Swish ~"
The sound of something tearing through the air rang out, and the Specter Monarch's claws shot forth like lightning, grabbing the arms of the elder. Its claws shone with black light, giving off a heart-palpitating cold light.
With a sound of bones cracking, the patriarch's arms were reduced to a mist of blood. Then, the claws reached in and scratched the patriarch's head and chest.
"Ah —"
A miserable cry sounded out. It was an extremely mournful and painful sound that spread throughout the entire city. Countless divine wills swept over, only to see that their elder's head had been crushed, and there was a bloody hole in his chest. He had been instantly killed.
"Eh..."
The other elder's attention was originally on Meng Li. After hearing the scream, he immediately looked up. He immediately raised his head in fear. When he saw that the other elder had been killed in an instant, his entire face became extremely ugly.
"Buzzing ~"
Lu Li's Ghost Bead glowed. The Phantom Shadow whooshed out and enveloped the patriarch in an instant. The patriarch felt a chill as he felt an evil presence had entered his soul.
He had an Enchanted Soul in his soul and so did all the patriarchs. They were all given by the Hell Palace.
However, he was not valued in the Hell Palace. He was not strong and his Enchanted Soul was only of the fourth rank.
The Phantom Shadow had consumed so much Spirit Spring Water that his abilities had soared. The Phantom Shadow could fight against that Enchanted Soul. Naturally, the Phantom Shadow could affect the patriarch's soul.
"Swish ~"
The Phantom King rushed over, and the elder's soul was affected, so he couldn't react in time.
The Spirit King's claws grabbed onto the elder's chest and slid upwards. The elder's head flew into the air as another elder was killed.
Hiss, hiss!
Many people in the city gasped. Two patriarchs and two warriors of the fourth tribulation were extremely powerful to many people in the city. How could Lu Li kill two of them at once?
Shock, doubt, fear, panic...
Countless emotions filled the hearts of the people in the city. If even the two elders could not withstand it, then who could withstand this monster?
If the monster killed people in the city, the Yellow Dragon City would soon become a ghost city.
"How could he possibly tame the Specter King?"
Su Yueqin's eyes were filled with disbelief. In her eyes, Lu Li was just a nobody, a nonentity, a nonentity with a temper at best.
To the high and mighty Goddess, a mere commander of the Hell Palace was indeed nothing. With a single order from her, she could decide whether he lived or died.
She didn't expect that this nonentity could shake the world and kill the two patriarchs that were protecting her. How could she believe this?
Not even the most powerful warriors of the Hell Palace could tame the Phantom King. How could Lu Li do it?
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh ~"
She was stunned, but the hundreds of escorts with her were not. They were all scared now that the two patriarchs were dead.
They were not afraid that they would be killed as well, but that something might happen to Su Yueqin.
Hundreds of escorts flew over and surrounded Su Yueqin. An old lady pulled Su Yueqin and said, "Immortal Lady, run!"
Su Yueqin had many treasures on her, including the fragment of a Holy Weapon. Even so, her abilities were not much different from a regular warrior of the fourth tribulation.
She might be more powerful than the two patriarchs, but she was too noble to take the risk. If anything happened to Su Yueqin, everyone's family would die.
Su Yueqin was still in a daze. She was hesitating, wondering if she should make a move.
She was not afraid of fighting against warriors, but she was scared to fight against a Phantom King. Also, there was the Phantom Shadow. Girls were always afraid of demons.
Being grabbed by the old lady, Su Yueqin flew away out of instinct. How could Lu Li stand by and watch Su Yueqin run away?
He grabbed the Interspatial Rings of the two patriarchs and put away the Phantom Shadow. Then, Lu Li jumped onto the Phantom King's shoulder.
The Phantom King's body grew larger. The wings on his back were unfolded. He chased after Su Yueqin like an arrow.
Lu Li was secretly delighted that Su Yueqin was running away into the wild.
He could kill all of Su Yueqin's escorts in the wild and then … use the Relic!
Su Yueqin had the fragment of a Holy Weapon. If Lu Li wanted to fight against her, he would have to use it. If there were too many people, he would be exposed. The Holy Weapon was his trump card and he could not expose it easily.
"Stop him!"
Seeing that Lu Li was coming after her, the old lady shouted to the escorts nearby.
She knew very well that the escorts could not stop Lu Li. They could only buy him some time so that Su Yueqin could run away.
"Charge!"
Hundreds of escorts rushed over. In their eyes, they were ready to die.
They were no match for Lu Li. They would be courting death if they charged forward.
That being said, they had to. If Su Yueqin died, not only would they die, but so would their families.
"Hmm!"
Lu Li sneered. For him, a bunch of small fries would only buy him some time.
He released the Phantom Shadow and told the Phantom King to charge forward. Lu Li himself did the same.
"Ah ~"
"Bang, bang, bang!"
"Boom, boom, boom!"
Wherever the Phantom Shadow went, warriors would fall with miserable cries. Lu Li and the Phantom King were killing in a violent way. Lu Li would kill one warrior with one punch and the Phantom King would kill one warrior with one claw.
In the time for 10 breaths, the three or four hundred warriors were all dead. Lu Li hopped onto the back of the Phantom King and went after Su Yueqin.
Su Yueqin was fast but she was only at the initial stage of the fourth tribulation. Compared to the Phantom King, she was nothing. The Phantom King's forte was speed.
In the time for half an incense stick to burn, Lu Li had caught up with Su Yueqin and the old lady. The old lady was only at the peak of the third tribulation. Seeing that Lu Li was coming, she shouted, "Lady, run. I will stop this bastard!"
She dashed toward Lu Li in a blur. Her violent energy made her look like a fire phoenix.
Su Yueqin hadn't run away yet. She watched as the Phantom King dashed away and the old lady turned into a mist of blood. She was no match for the Phantom King.
Su Yueqin didn't run away. She knew she could not run away given her speed. If that was the case, then she had to fight to the death.
She took out the Heaven Universe Sword. Glaring at Lu Li coldly, she said with hatred, "Lu Si, I spared your life back then. I didn't expect that you would bite the hand that fed you. You want to kill me this time. I will have to kill you."
"Ha, ha, ha!"
