Imprison Your Soul Forever!

Facing Coulson's request to evacuate, Lu Xi shook his head.

He could clearly sense that this group of demons had come for him.

If he evacuated with them, he would undoubtedly be placing everyone in the base in mortal danger.

But that was not the most crucial part.

More importantly, as Ghost Rider and the demons kept drawing closer, a vague sensation arose within him.

It was as if, in his eyes, these creatures existed on a far lower level of life than he did.

The feeling was like a human facing a tiny kitten baring its claws and fangs.

No matter how the kitten puffed up its fur in defiance, the human knew perfectly well that it could not hurt them.

A sudden flash of insight struck Lu Xi, as though some dormant instinct had been awakened.

His gaze locked onto Wind Demon, who was wreaking havoc, and he raised a finger without hesitation, pointing at him.

In an instant, a dazzling, almost tangible beam of energy burst from his fingertip, carrying a sacred aura.

Like a bolt of lightning, the beam instantly shattered the massive floor-to-ceiling window, sending shards of glass flying like snowflakes.

By the time the beam reached him, Wind Demon did not even have time to dodge.

Before he could let out a scream, it was strangled in his throat as the terrifying beam ground him into dust, leaving nothing behind.

The beam continued onward without losing momentum, piercing straight through the ground and blasting a deep, slanted hole into the hard earth, its bottom invisible.

Coulson stared at the scene in complete shock.

His mouth hung wide open, his eyes filled with disbelief.

"Th... that killed him?"

He had seen it clearly just moments ago. That demon had been like a hurricane; every gunshot from the Secret Service team had passed straight through it.

Attacks like flamethrowers had simply been blown away by the hurricane.

Such a troublesome enemy had actually been instantly killed by this Lucifer with such ease.

Ghost Rider, Blackheart, and the other demons were equally terrified.

Once the shock passed, they found it difficult to breathe, as though life and death hung by a thread.

Mephisto had forced them to test someone, but he had never told them that the target would be such a terrifying, despair-inducing existence.

Seeing the effect of his attack, Lu Xi revealed a delighted expression.

This completely confirmed that the vague feeling he had sensed earlier was not an illusion.

The demons before him truly were as fragile as ants in his eyes.

Upon seeing this, Blackheart, Earth Demon, and Water Demon immediately turned to flee in terror.

However, the moment they turned around, a hazy black mist abruptly rose from their bodies.

Their movements became mechanical and stiff as they slowly turned back around and charged toward the base without regard for anything else.

It seemed these demons had been forcibly controlled by some mysterious power.

Lu Xi remained calm. He raised his finger again, shaped his hand like a gun, and aimed at Blackheart and the other two.

"Biu~ biubiu~"

This time, he controlled his strength and only made three soft sounds.

Three energy bullets whistled from his fingertips, shooting toward the three demons like lightning.

With three muffled impacts, Blackheart, Earth Demon, and Water Demon were instantly blasted into ash, vanishing without a trace.

Lu Xi then turned his gaze toward the sole survivor, Ghost Rider, who was still charging madly at him.

He remembered that this guy was essentially a good person and was probably only being forcibly controlled right now.

At that moment, an eerie black mist lingered around Ghost Rider's body, clearly the result of that control.

Thus, Lu Xi did not kill him. Instead, he experimentally pressed his palm downward, as though pushing an invisible button in midair.

In an instant, an invisible wave swept toward Ghost Rider like crashing tides.

The black mist around Ghost Rider was instantly shaken out of his body by the wave.

He regained his freedom and hurriedly squeezed the brakes, raising both hands high as he shouted:

"I surrender! I was forced to come here!"

Lu Xi ignored Ghost Rider and fixed his gaze on the black mist.

The mist slowly drifted toward a tree some distance away, then disappeared as though swallowed by darkness.

To ordinary people, that place was merely an unremarkable corner overgrown with weeds.

But through Lu Xi's special eyes, an old man in a tailcoat stood there quietly. The black mist had returned to him.

Seeing that familiar appearance, a name immediately surfaced in Lu Xi's mind.

He probed, "Mephisto?"

Since Mephisto had already been discovered, he simply stopped concealing himself and revealed his figure.

A complicated light flickered in his eyes as he said in surprise and delight:

"Lucifer, it really is you!"

Then, he impatiently fired off question after question:

"Didn't you ever have an incarnation on Earth? How did you sneak in? Where is Ancient One? Why isn't she stopping you?"

Lu Xi's gaze immediately sharpened.

It was understandable for an ordinary person like Daisy Lewis to mistake him for Lucifer.

But for a demon king like Mephisto to mistake Lucifer, a fellow lord of Hell, for someone else was almost impossible.

Lu Xi guessed that he might truly have some connection to Lucifer...

His thoughts raced. Spreading his hands, he said mysteriously:

"You tell me."

A vicious glint flashed through Mephisto's eyes. Then, as though he had thought of something, he excitedly guessed:

"Could Ancient One be gone? Or has Earth's defensive array already been destroyed?!"

Lu Xi did not answer Mephisto's question. He merely silently gauged the depth of his opponent's strength.

Mephisto was one of the most famous demon kings of the Hell Dimension. Rumor had it that his strength was unfathomable, far beyond someone as insignificant as Blackheart.

Without absolute confidence, Lu Xi had no intention of attacking rashly.

Seeing Lu Xi remain silent, Mephisto assumed that he had guessed correctly.

He immediately burst into manic laughter:

"Hahahaha! I've finally waited for this day!"

"Ancient One, once I descend upon Earth, I will imprison your soul forever!!"

As he laughed madly, a massive magic array appeared beneath his feet.

The array was engraved with countless dense, incomparably complex runes.

The array lit up, its radiance shooting into the sky like a gate connecting to another plane.

Coulson could clearly smell an overwhelming stench of blood and sulfur rushing toward him, making him nauseous.

Lu Xi frowned deeply. He vaguely sensed that on the other side of the array was an aura identical to the Mephisto before him.

And the Mephisto on the other side of the array seemed far more powerful than this one.
