Perhaps fearing being shot dead by Qin Shilei again, the two flew high in the air.
Under such circumstances, it was indeed difficult for Qin Shilei to reveal himself and shoot them down with the Dragon Piercing Bow.
With a thought, he transformed back into an ordinary Indian evolutionist and followed them from the street towards the direction of the temple.
Because he couldn't use his full speed, Qin Shilei fell far behind them.
As he ran, he suddenly felt a powerful oppressive force emanating from ahead.
Qin Shilei quickly stopped, pretending to be nonchalant, and stood still.
Carefully sensing the oppressive force, although powerful, it wasn't enough to make him turn and flee.
"It seems that even if Shiva can descend to Blue Star again, his strength must be greatly reduced."
Qin Shilei took out an ordinary motorcycle and sped towards the direction of the oppressive force.
In less than half an hour, he arrived in front of a temple.
With a thought, Qin Shilei turned into a building on the right and summoned his Phantom.
Controlling the Phantom, he flew directly into the temple.
The appearance of the Phantom was immediately discovered by the temple's followers, who let out warning cries.
Qin Shilei controlled the Phantom to activate the "Manifestation of Heaven and Earth" attribute, transforming into a small giant and charging directly towards the main hall in the center of the temple.
As soon as he stepped onto the square in front of the main hall, he saw Taylor and Payne, who were about to leave.
Without hesitation, the two turned and ran back into the main hall.
As they ran, they shouted, "Lord Shiva, that thing is here."
Just as Qin Shilei was about to control the Phantom to charge into the main hall, the oppressive force from before reappeared.
Then, a hundred-meter-tall humanoid phantom appeared in the sky above the main hall.
With a gender-ambiguous face and six arms, it looked at the Phantom with an imposing gaze.
However, its gaze quickly shifted away from the Phantom, scanning the surroundings as if trying to find Qin Shilei, who was controlling it.
But Qin Shilei was at least a thousand meters away from the temple, hidden in the shadows, and still disguised as an Indian. This phantom, suspected to be a clone of Shiva, could not find Qin Shilei at all.
Teleport!
Annihilation Thunder!
As soon as he entered the temple, Qin Shilei immediately controlled the Phantom to form hand seals and summon a violent heavenly thunder.
Blinding light instantly illuminated an area of a hundred meters around them, making it a vast expanse of white.
The cascading thunderbolts struck Shiva's phantom, causing it to ripple.
The phantom rapidly shrunk and simultaneously became more solid, quickly transforming into a two-meter-tall multi-armed being.
With the phantom of Shiva no longer blocking, the violent thunderbolts directly struck the temple's architecture.
Instantly, the magnificent building was riddled with holes half a meter in size, and in some places, the entire roof was blown apart.
Many followers inside the temple were also instantly electrocuted into charcoal by the thunderbolts.
"Fire Manifest!" Shiva uttered two words softly.
Suddenly, a large ball of flame appeared out of nowhere around the Phantom, engulfing it completely.
The scorching flames rapidly consumed the Phantom's energy.
Teleport!
Qin Shilei controlled the Phantom to teleport a hundred meters away.
However, the flames on its body clung like a persistent leech, making it impossible to escape the burning.
Qin Shilei then erupted his internal vital energy, hoping to shake off the flames.
Unexpectedly, the flames burned even more fiercely.
"Haha, let's see how arrogant you are now. You thought you were invincible just because you can teleport. You're out of tricks, aren't you?"
"Lord Shiva, hurry up and add fuel to the fire, burn this scoundrel to death!"
Seeing the Phantom engulfed in flames, Taylor and Payne immediately shouted excitedly.
They had been on edge all the way back and were feeling utterly stifled.
Even though they knew the phantom could reappear even if it died, Taylor and the others couldn't help but taunt it.
"Wind Rises!" Shiva spoke two more words softly.
The wind fanned the flames, and the fire around the Phantom immediately surged.
Qin Shilei quickly controlled the Phantom to jump into the pool in front of the temple.
Sizzle!
The clear water in the entire pool instantly boiled and turned into mist, which was then blown away by the wind.
However, the flames on the Phantom's body showed no sign of weakening.
Damn it, is Shiva using Samadhi True Fire? It can't even be extinguished by water?
Qin Shilei could accept the Ghostly Ice Flame from last time being a powerful heaven and earth rare fire.
He never expected that the flames conjured by the opponent now could spontaneously generate outside the body, making it impossible to dodge, and not even water could extinguish them.
"It's just a phantom clone, then I'll give it to you."
Qin Shilei ignored the flames on the Phantom's body and directly controlled it to teleport towards Shiva.
At the same time, he activated the "One-Punch Man" state and unleashed ten consecutive sword strikes with "Lightning Chain Slash."
Clang, clang, clang!
Three ice shields instantly appeared outside Shiva's body, rotating around him and blocking the Phantom's ten sword strikes.
Although the ice shields could be shattered, they quickly regenerated, and the energy sword in the Phantom's hand couldn't even touch the opponent's clothes.
"Earth Spikes!" Shiva uttered two more words.
Several sharp earth spikes suddenly appeared beneath the Phantom, piercing through both of its soles.
Fortunately, Qin Shilei controlled the Phantom to dodge quickly, otherwise, it might have been pierced through from its backside to its head by these earth spikes.
When Shiva's clone appeared, Qin Shilei had already used his "Purple Eye of Wisdom" to observe.
The opponent clearly only had the cultivation of a Gold Nine-Star, so why was his strength so outrageously strong?
"Haha, you can't even break Lord Shiva's shield, you're stunned now!"
"King Qin An, you coward hiding in the shadows, why don't you come out? Are you only capable of letting your phantom take a beating while you hide?"
"This cowardly mouse won't be able to hide for long. Lord Shiva will definitely find him."
"We still have to advance eastward and capture your three beautiful wives, then ravish them mercilessly!"
Taylor and Payne both taunted, hoping to force Qin Shilei, who was hiding in the shadows, out.
"Damn it, I can't do anything to Shiva for now, but can't I still deal with you two pieces of trash?"
Qin Shilei's heart burned with rage, and he turned to teleport towards Payne, who was standing at the temple entrance.
With a sword thrust, a string of blood splattered out.
Payne, who had been babbling incessantly, suddenly froze and could no longer move.
Upon seeing this, Taylor, terrified, turned and fled into the distance, showing no intention of saving his subordinate.
Just as Qin Shilei was about to quickly unleash several more sword strikes to kill Payne,
A gust of wind blew his figure askew.
Qin Shilei controlled the Phantom to take the opportunity to chase Taylor, who was twenty to thirty meters away.
With a sword thrust, another string of blood splattered out.
Just as Qin Shilei had guessed, because the cooldown of the divine ability's paralysis had not expired, even though he injured Taylor, the Phantom was not controlled and frozen in place.
The reason why the Phantom was frozen last time when attacking Taylor was likely due to Taylor possessing some item that could reflect or transfer control.
This was why Qin Shilei had chosen to attack Payne first instead of Taylor.
With the first strike successful, Qin Shilei controlled the Phantom to unleash a furious barrage of attacks on Taylor.
Taylor turned to defend, but unexpectedly, his trident was cleaved away in one move.
Then, the protective items on his body shattered one after another.
Taylor's heart panicked. He simultaneously took out two scrolls and was about to activate them to throw at the Phantom when the greatsword he was wielding suddenly lost its power.
He looked up and saw that the Phantom, enveloped in flames, had become even more ethereal.
In less than a second, the Phantom dissipated into the air, and then the burning flames also seemed to lose their nourishment and vanished without a trace.
