433: Summons from Hell

As Steve completed his last hand seal, a light screen over a meter wide appeared before him.

A skeletal figure in armor materialized on the light screen.

"Human, have you decided to form a contract with me?"

Steve smiled and said, "Venerable Reno, you are too powerful. Even if I form a contract with you, my spiritual power will likely be unable to support your descent into our world. How about you let your subordinate form a contract with me first, and he can help me become stronger? Then, I can form a contract with you."

"Hehe!"

The soul fire in Reno's eyes flickered. "You've played a good hand. Very well, I'll let my subordinate form a contract with you first."

With that, he summoned a skeleton holding a bone blade in one hand and a shield in the other.

Steve then began to chant a spell.

A white light quickly connected him and the skeleton.

Subsequently, a mysterious symbol generated from the void, then split into two, flying into Steve and the skeleton respectively.

"I hope you can form a contract with me soon. By then, my powerful strength will surely help you reach the peak."

Reno said leisurely, then actively closed the light screen.

Steve ignored the vanished Reno and quickly formed hand seals with both hands.

Then, the shield-wielding skeleton from earlier appeared out of thin air before him.

"Haha, it really worked. Qin An King, just you wait, I'll catch up to you very soon."

Steve felt the skeleton before him, which was countless times stronger than himself, and declared with soaring ambition.

He then tested it, and indeed, a portion of the soul power absorbed by the skeleton after slaying an exotic beast could be fed back to him.

Upon receiving the soul power feedback from the Contract Spirit, Steve's soul was slightly enhanced, and his spiritual power also became a bit stronger.

Although the soul of a Silver exotic beast didn't cause a significant change in his strength, the skeleton subordinate had Platinum Realm strength, and its speed in killing exotic beasts was much faster than his.

Accumulating bit by bit, Steve's strength increased at a rapid pace.

The only thing limiting his leveling speed was that his spiritual power couldn't support the skeleton subordinate staying on Blue Star for a long time.

Absorbing the streams of soul power from the skeleton subordinate, Steve began to fantasize about the beautiful days in the near future when he would sweep across Blue Star with an army of skeletons.

"It seems it's time to go to Great Xia and force Qin An King to reveal why his cultivation has increased so quickly."

......

More than ten days later.

Qin Shilei and his companions finally arrived in Pretty Country.

Before them, not far away, was a city protected by city walls.

"Shall we go down and ask for directions?"

After Qin Shilei finished speaking, he took Kong Qingshu's left hand and flew forward.

The massive body of the Golden Winged Thunder Roc had already attracted the attention of the city guards.

As Qin Shilei flew over, sharp alarms blared continuously, and the guards on the city wall took out their weapons, watching Qin Shilei with vigilance.

One burly white man, holding a long saber, shouted, "Who goes there? State your identity quickly."

Qin Shilei completely ignored the many arrows, ice arrows, and fireballs poised to strike on the city wall, and flew calmly to the burly man's front.

"Put away your weapons, I just want to ask for directions."

After speaking, he swept his gaze over the crowd.

Everyone instantly felt as if they were being stared at by a fierce beast, and couldn't help but shiver.

The burly man, who was the focus of his attention, even took two steps back, almost falling to the ground.

Qin Shilei retracted his aura and asked indifferently, "Which city is Steve in, how far is it from here, and how do I get there?"

Perhaps feeling that his earlier retreat had made him lose face in front of his subordinates, the burly man said with feigned fierceness, "Humble yellow-skinned man, don't be too arrogant. Our city's Golden Expert will arrive soon, and then you'll be in for it."

"Hmph!"

Qin Shilei flashed to the other party's side, reached out, grabbed his neck, and lifted him up.

The burly man was about to kick Qin Shilei, but he felt a violent electric current from the other party's hand, instantly paralyzing him.

Qin Shilei gently tossed him, throwing him to the ground.

"If you don't answer me within three seconds, you'll die."

"Cough, cough!"

The burly man coughed twice and quickly pointed south with his hand, "If you're asking about the top expert of our Pretty Country, he's in Fulang City, over a thousand kilometers south from here."

Just then, three figures flew out from the city.

The middle-aged man flying in the center, upon seeing his subordinate fall to the ground and Qin Shilei being a yellow-skinned man, shouted from afar, "How dare you! Causing trouble on my territory, eliminate him!"

With that, he raised his weapon and intended to fly towards Qin Shilei.

However, his left hand was firmly held back by his companion beside him.

"city Lord, wait. That person seems to be Qin An King!"

The middle-aged man focused his gaze on Qin Shilei, then looked at Kong Qingshu.

"Could this person really be Qin An King and his wife?"

He quickly retreated more than ten meters, asking his two companions with trepidation.

In his eyes, all yellow-skinned people looked similar, and for a moment, he couldn't tell if the other party was Qin An King.

"Isn't Qin An King supposed to be in Great Xia, hundreds of thousands of kilometers away? Why would he suddenly appear here?" another Golden Expert asked with some doubt, blinking and scrutinizing Qin Shilei again.

Qin Shilei's figure moved, instantly appearing before the three of them.

"Do you know Steve?"

That astonishing speed made the three realize that even if this person wasn't Qin An King, he was a powerhouse countless times stronger than themselves.

The middle-aged man immediately showed a smile and replied obsequiously, "This esteemed adult, we have all heard of Steve, but we have never met him."

Qin Shilei calmly instructed, "Immediately get me a map and draw the route to Fulang City."

"Adult, I have a map right here."

The middle-aged man quickly took out a map from his spatial ring, drew two circles on it with a pen, and connected the two circles with a straight line.

"Adult, flying south from here for about seventeen to eighteen hundred kilometers should get you to Fulang City."

Qin Shilei took the map, looked at it, and then put it into his spatial ring.

He then looked up at the middle-aged man and asked with a half-smile, "Didn't you just say you wanted to eliminate me? I'll allow you to call all your subordinates over."

Upon hearing this, cold sweat immediately poured from the three men's foreheads.

The three men bent at a ninety-degree angle, trembling as they begged for mercy, "Adult, please spare our lives! I must have been blind just now, unable to recognize your esteemed presence. My mouth was loose, and I offended you, please spare us, Adult."

The middle-aged man spoke while slapping his own mouth hard.

His two subordinates, seeing their city Lord like this, also had no choice but to slap their own mouths.

"Hmph!"

"Get lost!"

Qin Shilei delivered three kicks, instantly sending the few people flying dozens of meters down onto the street below.

The three were dizzy from the fall, but they were relieved that they had probably escaped a disaster.
