275: First visit to Kyoto

Although Qin Shi Lei held back most of his strength, with every swing of the Giant Que Sword, a patch of crimson blood would always be brought forth.

Seeing how fierce Qin Shi Lei was, some Evolution users slowly stopped in their tracks, and even quietly retreated.

"Those who retreat shall be executed!"

Chunshu and dozens of Tian Zhao Country people attacked simultaneously, cutting down some of the retreating individuals.

Those Evolution users who had intended to break free from Chunshu's control, or the clever ones who wanted to stay out of the fight, were immediately intimidated by Chunshu and once again charged towards Qin Shi Lei.

"Go capture that woman first!"

Chunshu pointed at An Qian, who was standing at the base of a tall building in the distance, and shouted.

Immediately, one or two hundred members of the Tianzhao Society obeyed the command and rushed towards An Qian.

"You all find a place to hide."

An Qian said to Feng Shichen and his sister, who were by her side, and then charged towards the group of people.

Qin Shi Lei looked at the Evolution users swarming in from all directions and cursed, "What a bunch of cheap bones, used to being enslaved."

He shouted loudly one last time, "I'll count to three, those who don't retreat die!"

One.

Among the crowd, some people stopped again, hesitating whether to retreat.

Two.

Finally, someone broke away and ran out of the crowd.

Chunshu and his compatriots once again raised their swords and charged at the fleeing people.

"Stubborn fools, die!"

Devouring Thunder!

Violent lightning descended from the sky, spreading outwards from Qin Shi Lei as its center.

Except for two or three hundred Evolution users who had run out in advance, everyone else was blasted into charcoal by Qin Shi Lei's single attack.

The surroundings instantly became eerily silent.

"Down with Chunshu!"

Someone immediately realized and shouted loudly, fearing that Qin Shi Lei would also eliminate them.

"Scram!"

Although those people finally stopped, Qin Shi Lei didn't have much goodwill towards them.

Chunshu finally recovered and turned to flee into the distance.

"Did I say you could leave?" Qin Shi Lei flashed and appeared in front of him.

Seeing that he couldn't escape, Chunshu quickly formed hand seals, "Help me! Otherwise, everyone will die."

The phantom of the two-headed evil dog once again emerged from his back.

More than ten Evolution users among the dozens of Tian Zhao Country people also simultaneously formed seals, releasing their Shikigami.

The two-headed evil dog opened its large mouth and swallowed the other Shikigami in one gulp.

Then, it floated above the Evolution users who had just been annihilated by Qin Shi Lei, raised its head, and let out a long howl.

Countless human-shaped phantoms floated up from the corpses on the ground, and were swallowed one by one by the two-headed evil dog.

After successively devouring such a large number of souls, the two-headed evil dog's body kept expanding, and soon grew into a giant evil dog over ten meters tall.

Qin Shi Lei watched this scene with interest, showing no intention of stopping Chunshu.

This was his first time fighting a foreigner, and he wanted to see their methods.

"Making me use this move, I will definitely flay you alive and pull out your tendons."

Chunshu quietly retreated to the side of the evil dog, saying with a ferocious expression.

This move not only required devouring a sufficient amount of Shikigami first, and then devouring a massive amount of fresh souls, but afterwards, the evil dog's strength would also be greatly reduced.

His established power had been almost single-handedly destroyed by the opponent, and his own strength would also drop to the Bronze Realm. Chunshu now wished he could eat Qin Shi Lei alive.

"Is that all?" Qin Shi Lei glanced disdainfully at the evil dog Shikigami that was baring its teeth at him.

"Hmph!" Chunshu said fiercely, "Soon you'll be on your knees begging for mercy. This is a Silver Nine-Star Shikigami."

"Attack!"

At his command, the two-headed evil dog opened its mouth wide and pounced towards Qin Shi Lei.

Suddenly, a bolt of lightning as thick as a bucket descended from the sky, striking the two-headed evil dog fiercely.

"Woof!"

Under the bombardment of the violent heavenly lightning, the two-headed evil dog let out a tragic wail.

Its body continuously shrank, and soon completely dissipated into the air.

Chunshu was dumbfounded. The two-headed evil dog, on which he had placed all his hopes, had vanished without even a trace of ash after being struck by the opponent's heavenly lightning?

"You can die now!"

Qin Shi Lei flashed past, splitting him in half with a single sword strike.

Then, he transformed into a phantom and charged towards the remaining Tian Zhao Country people, cutting them down one by one.

After killing these people, Qin Shi Lei once again transformed into a phantom and rushed towards the top of the tallest building in the camp.

On the rooftop stood more than a dozen people, some of whom were looking into the distance with binoculars.

"Who is your leader?" Qin Shi Lei asked.

Everyone was startled by Qin Shi Lei's sudden appearance, and they kept retreating.

"Too lazy to waste words with you."

Qin Shi Lei's eyes suddenly turned into purple pupils, instantly controlling all these people.

He asked again, "Are you people from the other faction in this camp? Who is your leader?"

A slightly plump middle-aged man said, "We are indeed from the Qingyun Gang, and I am their leader."

Qin Shi Lei asked again, "Why don't you resist the Tianzhao Society when they bully our compatriots so much?"

The middle-aged man truthfully said, "Firstly, their strength is not much stronger than ours. Secondly, those who are bullied by them deserve it. Who told them they had bad luck? Why should we do such a thankless job?"

"Alright then, you can go to hell with Chunshu and repent."

Regardless of whether the other party was in cahoots with Chunshu, Qin Shi Lei directly attacked and killed all dozen people on the rooftop.

He returned to Feng Shichen's side, "Are there still Tian Zhao Country people in this camp?"

Feng Shichen had carefully counted the corpses of the Tian Zhao Country people when Qin Shi Lei left, and immediately replied, "There should be four or five more, but their strength isn't great. I can eliminate them all, Benefactor, you don't need to worry."

"Alright, we're leaving now."

Qin Shi Lei finished speaking, took An Qian's hand, and walked out of the camp.

At this time, the camp's scent of blood was so strong it was almost suffocating. Qin Shi Lei and the others naturally wouldn't choose to spend the night here.

After Qin Shi Lei left, the camp once again experienced a fierce struggle.

Countless people fought to the death for control of the camp.

This was also the norm for camps; some camps even changed leaders several times within a single day.

Even if Qin Shi Lei knew this would happen, he was unwilling to intervene.

Although Feng Shichen, whom he thought highly of, had decent character, he only had Bronze Eight-Star cultivation, and probably wasn't capable of being the camp's leader.

What Qin Shi Lei didn't expect was that, awed by his prestige, many people in the camp showed great respect to Feng Shichen, who had entered the camp with him.

Although Feng Shichen temporarily couldn't become the camp's leader, he gathered a large group of people and took the opportunity to rise. Many years later, he also became the leader of a moderately sized force.

After resting for a night, Qin Shi Lei and the others rode Xiaoqiang and continued flying towards the capital.

When they arrived above the capital, they found countless insects attacking the northern city wall of the capital.
