376: Wearing a dragon bow to establish prestige

This scene made Qin Shilei even more surprised.

It seems like Taylor has a lot of good things on him.

No wonder he dared to plot and ambush himself, the number one person on Blue Star.

Through the phantom's perception, Qin Shilei could clearly tell that the phantom had indeed been stiffened as if by Divine Power Stiffening, unable to move.

Because ten seconds had passed since the phantom killed the first person, the cooldown for Divine Power Stiffening was over, but it didn't affect Taylor; instead, it was reflected or transferred to the phantom itself through some mysterious effect.

"Where are the spoils of war?" Payne turned his head and looked around, but he didn't find any treasure chests or other items left by the dead phantom.

Taylor's face immediately turned very ugly, "That phantom just now was likely summoned by some item. I wasted a precious scroll for nothing."

"What about the two people we captured?" Payne asked, somewhat surprised.

Hearing this, Taylor immediately looked at Qin Shilei with an unfriendly expression.

Qin Shilei said innocently, "You told us to surround that phantom just now, so I put them on the ground over there. I didn't notice where they went?"

The group immediately ran back to where they were just now to search, but they couldn't find any trace of them.

"It must have been Qin An King who rescued them."

Payne looked around like a startled bird.

The remaining people's faces also changed drastically, and they became vigilant as if facing a formidable enemy.

"City Lord, if Qin An King appears now, can you still take him down?" Qin Shilei showed a hint of fear.

"As long as he dares to appear, I will make him completely dissipate into the air, just like that phantom just now."

Taylor said through gritted teeth.

"City Lord, that phantom just now was very likely summoned by Qin An King. Do you think he can still summon another phantom?"

Payne suddenly asked leisurely.

Hearing this, Taylor and the others were stunned.

Again?

Before coming, Taylor was full of confidence in taking down Qin An King.

They would capture Qin An King's subordinates and force him to come alone.

As long as Qin An King came alone, they could use the many items bestowed by Shiva to completely restrain him.

At that time, they would easily take him down and complete the task assigned by Lord Shiva.

Unexpectedly, they hadn't even met Qin An King yet, and they had already lost two major generals and used a precious item.

If another phantom appeared, would they have to use another one or several precious items?

Then what?

Wait for Qin An King to harvest them?

As soon as they thought of this terrible consequence, Taylor and the others immediately had the idea of retreating.

Only by reporting all of this to Shiva and having Lord Shiva bestow more powerful items could they completely eliminate Qin An King.

Or, they could ascertain Qin An King's whereabouts and directly launch a sneak attack.

"Qin An King has not appeared for a long time. To prevent him from harming my one hundred thousand elites, how about we temporarily retreat?"

Taylor made his cowardice sound grand.

"What the City Lord said is very true!"

Payne and the others all agreed.

The group quickly returned to the county town where they first met Shen Feixue.

The county town was empty. From the traces of the county town, it was highly likely that they had already set off for Aya City.

"Payne, convey my order: tell Jamie and the others to temporarily withdraw their troops and make plans after confirming Qin An King's whereabouts."

Taylor's face hardened, and he gave the order.

Payne, at this moment, dared not go alone to convey the order. His eyes darted around, and he quickly found an excuse.

"City Lord, Qin An King might be lurking around us. It's not advisable for us to separate now, otherwise, we might be defeated one by one. With Qin An King tied up here, Jamie might be able to easily take down Aya City. I think it's better for us to return to Buduolong immediately."

Taylor also understood Payne's concerns, and at the same time, he was not very willing to let Payne leave.

He nodded in agreement, "You're right. Then let's go back to Buduolong first."

This made Qin Shilei, disguised as Gaode, the big man from India, secretly laugh.

"A bunch of cowards, you must not have thought that Qin An King, who makes you tremble with fear, is right beside you, right?"

They came full of vigor, but now they were like stray dogs, constantly guarding against Qin An King, who might appear at any time.

The group said nothing, only flying at full speed towards Buduolong.

They were only about a hundred kilometers from Buduolong, and at full speed, in less than ten minutes, Buduolong was already in sight.

Seeing that they had returned to their base camp, everyone collectively breathed a sigh of relief.

Taylor turned his head and said, "Gaode, you will come with me to the temple now to report the details of this trip to Lord Shiva. And let Lord Shiva leave a mark on you; then you will be able to borrow a portion of Lord Shiva's power."

"A mark? It wouldn't be a method of control, would it?" Qin Shilei thought, secretly cursing, "Damn it, this guy wouldn't want to use Shiva's power to subdue his subordinates, would he?"

His mind was racing, hoping to find a suitable reason not to go to the temple.

He was a fake believer, and he would probably be recognized as soon as he entered the temple.

And did the temple have a clone of Shiva? How much power could it exert? He knew nothing about these things.

So, now was not a good time to confront Shiva directly.

"Okay, City Lord."

Qin Shilei readily agreed, but he had only taken two steps when he suddenly clutched his stomach and said, "Oh, City Lord, please allow me to go to the restroom first before I go to see Lord Shiva."

The excuse of having to relieve oneself was indeed a very good one.

Although Taylor looked at Qin Shilei with some suspicion, he quickly waved his hand and said, "Go quickly, we'll wait for you here for three minutes."

Qin Shilei turned and flew into the building below.

As soon as he entered the restroom, he immediately returned to his original appearance.

With a blink, he appeared on the rooftop of a tall building, looking at Taylor and the others in the distance.

He took out the Piercing Dragon Bow, drew it, and shot.

A Silver Dragon, as thick as an arm, shot like lightning towards one of the people beside Taylor.

Boom!

Caught off guard, that person was sent flying more than ten meters by the blow.

A life-saving item also shattered at the same time.

But before he could react, several more arrows shot over.

He could only watch in despair as his life-saving items shattered one after another, and then his head was blown off by an arrow.

"City Lord, over there!" Payne shouted, pointing to where Qin Shilei was.

But by the time Taylor turned to look, Qin Shilei's figure had already disappeared.

Then several more arrows shot from another direction towards another person beside Taylor.

Having witnessed his companion's head being blown off by several arrows, this person, once targeted, immediately panicked and flew into a nearby building, attempting to escape the calamity by using the building.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Colorful shields shattered one after another. His last life-saving item also shattered at the same time, and he finally escaped into the building.

Just as he was about to disappear from the archer's line of sight, he felt a sharp pain in his chest.

He looked down and saw a fist-sized hole in his left chest.

Thud!

He fell to the ground powerlessly.

"Teleportation! He must be Qin An King. City Lord, quick, use an item!" Payne shouted in panic.

But as soon as Taylor took out a scroll, he lost track of Qin Shilei again.

"Let's go to the temple!" Taylor said decisively.
