Taylor first took out a warning scroll and unfurled it.
With this warning scroll, as long as any creature approached within a hundred meters of him, an alarm would sound.
Then, the group cast several layers of shields on themselves before cautiously walking into the small town.
Qin Shilei finally understood why Shen Feixue and He Kaige were incapacitated.
Not only were they severely injured, but their internal elemental energy had also been sealed by Taylor's group using items, and they had also been afflicted with a weakening ability.
Silently, he channeled elemental energy into the two of them.
Although the seals on their bodies could restrict the flow of elemental energy, they could not resist the energy being input from the outside.
Under the impact of Qin Shilei's elemental energy, the seals on their bodies were quickly broken.
As their own elemental energy began to circulate, the weakness on Shen Feixue and the others' bodies gradually disappeared.
Although Shen Feixue and the other two had recovered eighty percent of their strength, they suppressed the urge to retaliate immediately and instead secretly circulated their elemental energy to heal their wounds.
The group soon arrived at the edge of the town.
Taylor gestured, and Payne immediately shouted, "King Qin An, come out now, or I'll kill your subordinates."
Of course, there was no response.
One of Taylor's subordinates suggested, "Why don't we kill that man first? Maybe it'll force the other party to show up."
Payne, with a lustful gaze, looked at Shen Feixue, whom Qin Shilei was holding, and said, "I don't think killing is effective. It would be better to ravish this woman here. Perhaps King Qin An, being a man of compassion, will rush out."
Qin Shilei glanced at Payne and mentally added him to his kill list.
Taylor glared at Payne and reprimanded him, "Control your lust. Once King Qin An is dealt with, you'll have as many women as you want."
Just then, the warning array Taylor had just set up suddenly vibrated.
The group immediately became fully alert.
A small, agile figure flashed past in the one o'clock direction.
While everyone's attention was drawn to the figure, Qin Shilei quietly retreated two steps.
With a thought, Phantom appeared behind him and immediately teleported away upon its appearance.
Taylor, sensing something, looked back but found nothing.
He said with some dissatisfaction, "Gaude, why are you retreating so far?"
"Heh, I was a little startled just now," Qin Shilei said with feigned embarrassment, smiling.
Payne suddenly exclaimed, "It's a mutated cat!"
Saying that, he prepared to use his ability to kill the mutated cat.
At that moment, a phantom figure suddenly appeared next to the group.
This phantom figure, about five to six meters tall, immediately swung a sword at a middle-aged man holding a spear.
Several life-saving shields appeared on the middle-aged man's body, but they were shattered by the phantom's giant sword.
Then, a substitute doll-like item on him shattered, blocking the fatal blow.
The phantom, however, was unfazed. Its right hand turned into a blur and continuously struck the opponent.
After shattering the opponent's four life-saving items, it cleaved him in half with a single sword strike.
Only then did Taylor and the others react, drawing their weapons and attacking the Phantom.
Outnumbered five to one, the Phantom did not retreat. It activated One-Punch Man, not only blocking the group's attacks but also swiftly killing another person.
"Lord City Lord, use the artifact quickly!"
Payne yelled in fear.
Taylor hesitated.
The treasures bestowed by Shiva were meant to be used against Qin Shilei.
If they were used on this unknown phantom now, what would he use to counter Qin Shilei when he appeared?
During Taylor's brief hesitation, the Phantom charged towards the third person again.
The door-sized energy greatsword shattered that person's several layers of energy shields.
Just as he was about to be cleaved in half like the previous two, under the threat of death, this person unleashed his full potential.
The long saber in his hand emitted a dazzling yellow light, and his saber energy increased by at least a third compared to usual.
However, in the face of absolute power, his long saber was split in two by the Phantom's sword.
A sharp sword energy surged towards his head with an unstoppable momentum.
Taylor, his heart aching, took out a scroll, channeled elemental energy into it to activate it, and shot a white light directly at the Phantom.
Qin Shilei, who was participating in the encirclement of the Phantom, saw the white light emitted by Taylor. He mentally controlled the Phantom to dodge slightly, hoping to avoid the white light.
To his surprise, the white light was not only extremely fast but also seemed to have a tracking function. It struck the Phantom in an arc.
Boom!
At the same moment, the Phantom's powerful sword strike landed precisely on the person's head.
The bright silver helmet on the person's head was split in two, and a bloodstain appeared above his forehead.
Having narrowly escaped death, he said fiercely, "Die!"
He fiercely struck the Phantom's thigh with his broken saber.
With a single blow, he severed the Phantom's thigh in two.
"Hahaha!"
Taylor roared with laughter, "This ghostly thing's strength is only ten percent of what it was. Chop it to pieces!"
Taylor, his four subordinates, and Qin Shilei all surrounded the Phantom.
Just as they were about to dismember the Phantom, everyone's vision blurred, and they lost track of it.
"Lord City Lord, it's teleportation! It's over there!"
Payne suddenly pointed to fifty meters ahead and to the left, shouting loudly.
The group then collectively pursued the Phantom.
Qin Shilei, however, was astonished by the scroll Taylor had just used.
After being hit by that white light, not only was its strength greatly reduced, but its teleportation distance was also reduced to one-tenth of its original range due to the lack of strength.
"Then let me see what other tricks you have."
Qin Shilei thought to himself, while simultaneously controlling the Phantom to teleport behind the young man holding the broken saber.
A cold glint flashed.
The protective items on the man shattered one after another.
However, it bought him time to turn and attack the Phantom.
But Qin Shilei had no intention of engaging him and immediately controlled the Phantom to teleport away again.
"Lord City Lord, use the space-locking artifact quickly!" the nearly dead young man shouted in fear.
Space-locking?
Hearing this, Qin Shilei's heart trembled.
Fortunately, he hadn't charged in blindly at the beginning.
If he had been hit by that white light and his strength greatly reduced, and then found the surrounding space sealed, he would have been in a predicament without teleportation or lightning escape techniques.
Taylor looked at the Phantom, which had teleported away again, his face showing a hint of hesitation, but he did not produce any artifacts.
"Teleportation must consume a lot of energy. I estimate this monster can't use it many times. Everyone be careful, we can definitely take it down."
Indeed, at this point, the Phantom could only perform about five or six more teleports.
But now it seemed that all the treasures that could counter Qin Shilei were on Taylor. So, as long as Taylor was dealt with first, the remaining minions would not be able to cause any trouble, right?
Qin Shilei controlled the Phantom to teleport again, but this time the target was Taylor.
Caught off guard, the Phantom struck Taylor with its sword.
A bloody gash appeared on Taylor's wrist, which was holding his fork.
If the Phantom had used a little more force to swing downwards, it would have severed Taylor's right hand.
But then the Phantom became motionless.
"Hahaha!"
Taylor laughed heartily, "Chop it up! It's already under my control."
Countless attacks immediately fell upon the Phantom.
In less than two seconds, the mountain-like Phantom dissipated into the air like a bubble.
