Just as Xu Zhao was thinking about how not to get obsessed, he suddenly stopped his shadow. He had noticed a massive army heading toward Donghua City.
There were numerous large war armored vehicles, fully armed soldiers, and many powerful evolvers emitting dangerous auras.
Xu Zhao's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately guessed who these people were.
The Qin Family of Dongdu!
Given the immense strength displayed by this army, there was no doubt in Xu Zhao's mind that it could only belong to the Qin Family, the dominant force within thousands of kilometers of Donghua City, if not the entire southeastern region.
Xu Zhao's heart sank.
Just dealing with the Blood Bear alone was already giving him a headache. Now, with the Qin Family from Dongdu getting involved, did he still stand a chance?
But then, Xu Zhao's thoughts shifted.
No, he still had a chance...
As long as he could incite a conflict between the Qin Family and the Blood Bear's group, leading them to fight until both sides were weakened, that would be his opportunity!
With this plan in mind, Xu Zhao immediately rushed toward the large convoy.
It was only his shadow, not his true body, and since the shadow could regenerate infinitely, it was as if Xu Zhao had countless lives!
So Xu Zhao acted boldly, not the least bit worried about provoking the Qin Family. After all, his true body was hidden somewhere in a small neighborhood in the city, extremely well-concealed.
He didn't believe they could find him...
Xu Zhao's shadow swiftly moved toward the Qin Family's convoy.
The Qin Family's troops, well-trained elites that they were, immediately sounded the alarm.
"Enemy attack—!!!"
The soldiers in the vanguard armored vehicles began firing instantly, unleashing a barrage of bullets that formed a web of firepower in front of the shadow. Their response was quick and precise.
But Xu Zhao's shadow was even more elusive.
Ordinary bullets, even when they penetrated his shadow, caused no harm at all!
In fact, firearms could still be quite threatening to some evolvers, particularly those who had undergone physical enhancement.
However, Xu Zhao's shadow was a spiritual entity, existing somewhere between the tangible and the intangible.
As such, these bullets posed no threat to him.
Xu Zhao's shadow lunged directly at the limousine where Qin Jun was seated, expanding into a massive shadow the height of a building, creating a rather intimidating sight.
Finally, the Qin Family's evolvers took action.
Whoosh—!
A middle-aged man in a black military uniform snorted coldly, his eyes flashing with a blue glow.
Suddenly, a bright blue pillar of flame shot out from his body, soaring into the air before slamming down toward Xu Zhao's shadow.
The searing blue flame was so terrifying that the surrounding air began to warp.
Xu Zhao didn't dare face it head-on and could only shift his position to avoid the fearsome blue fire.
Xu Zhao felt uneasy. He knew the Qin Family of Dongdu was powerful.
But he hadn't expected that he couldn't even pass the first hurdle.
More evolvers began to appear, all dressed in black military uniforms, staring coldly at Xu Zhao.
Over the past few days, Xu Zhao had observed these large shelters and the forces within them from afar using his shadow ability. Many of them had evolvers as well.
But those evolvers varied greatly in personality—some were flamboyant, some were arrogant, and some were calm.
Their clothing was just as varied.
It wasn't that attire had any direct impact on strength, but seeing so many evolvers uniformly dressed in black military uniforms like an organized military force gave off an overwhelming sense of pressure!
The Qin Family of Dongdu—did they even have a standardized force of Evolvers...?
But Xu Zhao hadn't forgotten his objective.
He deliberately altered his voice and said, "This is Lord Blood Bear's territory. No outsiders are welcome here!
This is just a warning!"
The window of the limousine slowly rolled down, revealing an incredibly handsome face.
Qin Jun looked calmly at Xu Zhao's shadow.
Beside him sat Xie Han, who also stared coldly at the shadow, her eyes filled with icy killing intent.
Xu Zhao met Qin Jun's gaze from a distance and immediately understood. This young man must be Qin Jun, the eldest son of the Qin Family from Dongdu, and an SSS-level talent.
A surge of intense jealousy suddenly rose in Xu Zhao's heart.
This Qin Jun was said to be the son of Qin Yuan, the former Executive Director in the old era.
In the old era, he had been a top-tier elite, standing high above the rest.
And after the apocalypse descended, he remained one of the world's rulers.
One could even say that the apocalypse had only elevated the Qin Family's status further!
Why!?
Why did Qin Jun get to enjoy privileges in the old era, and now, even in the apocalypse, he still got to stay on top?
How did he manage to get all the good things in life?
Xu Zhao's gaze quickly shifted to Xie Han, who was seated next to Qin Jun.
Before this, Zhou Lan was already considered an exceptionally beautiful goddess.
But when Xu Zhao saw Xie Han, he realized that even a bodyguard by Qin Jun's side was this beautiful and elegant.
Compared to her, Zhou Lan paled in comparison.
This only made Xu Zhao feel even more envious and jealous.
Originally, he had planned to stir up trouble between the Blood Bear and Qin Jun and then slip away, but now he suddenly changed his mind.
Xu Zhao's shadow let out a raspy, cold laugh.
"Qin, don't think you're all that just because you have an SSS-level talent. Let me tell you, in no more than a year, I'll be the ruler of the entire southeast!"
"So what if you were born with a silver spoon? Isn't it just luck that you were born into a good family?
I may have been born low, but you and your kind will all be defeated by me, crushed under my feet!"
Xu Zhao intentionally kept his voice hoarse, venting all his envy and jealousy, growing more impassioned as he spoke.
"Seeking death!"
The Qin Family's evolvers were enraged.
They could tell that this shadow, aside from being a troublesome spiritual entity, wasn't particularly strong.
Just a piece of trash.
And yet, this trash dared to talk big?!
They had pledged their loyalty to the Qin Family and served them faithfully.
Their fates were already tied to the Qin Family.
If the Qin Family prospered, so would they; if the Qin Family suffered, so would they.
Seeing this nobody dare to speak disrespectfully to Qin Jun, the Qin Family's young master, filled them with fury.
"Seeking death!"
Xie Han was also furious, her heart filled with killing intent.
But the next moment, the space behind Xu Zhao suddenly rippled, and a graceful figure appeared.
A dagger in her hand stabbed toward Xu Zhao's chest!
It was none other than Wang Zhi, who had just pledged allegiance to the Qin Family!
However, Wang Zhi's dagger seemed to pierce through the air, for Xu Zhao's shadow was a spiritual entity, and ordinary physical attacks had no effect on him!
When Xu Zhao saw Wang Zhi, his eyes nearly bulged out. After putting on the black military uniform, Wang Zhi's graceful figure was accentuated perfectly.
But despite this, she still scared Xu Zhao half to death!
He hadn't noticed Wang Zhi's presence at all.
One had to admit, the Shadow Camouflage talent was truly a born assassin's ability!
Failing with her first strike, Wang Zhi immediately retreated, coldly staring at Xu Zhao's shadow, her heart filled with frustration.
She had hoped to kill this man and earn some favor in front of the young master, making her presence known.
But she hadn't expected that this shadow, a spiritual entity, would thwart her attempt!
This man deserved to die!
Qin Jun narrowed his eyes and glanced at Xu Zhao's shadow.
Just as Xu Zhao was about to speak again, he suddenly felt the space around him begin to collapse, crushing inward.
In the next moment, his shadow was obliterated by an unknown force!
Seeing this, the evolvers under the Qin Family all displayed looks of awe.
It wasn't just Qin Jun's status they revered—they also feared his strength.
A faint smile appeared on Qin Jun's face.
