Yu Huashen was struggling. Not surrendering meant death. Based on what Lu Li had been doing lately, Yu Huashen knew he could not survive. Young as Lu Li was, he was a cruel character. His hands were covered in blood.
Surrendering?
To be a slave for a guy of the Soul Pond Realm? Then Yu Huashen’s reputation would be destroyed. Powerful warriors all had pride and dignity. To cultivate to his current realm took a lot of efforts and he once was one of the most powerful men of the Northern Desert.
Also, Lu Li had killed Yu Lingxu, not to mention Yu Feijia and Yu Feinong died because of Lu Li. One of the three Eternal Realm warriors that came with him was his protégé and he was killed by Ming Yu.
Becoming a slave for his own enemy? It was harder than death.
