"Could it be a puppet?"

Qin Feng stared wide-eyed, looking up and down at the mysterious man in black robes with a face full of surprise and doubt.

The man in black robes stood there silently, like a lifeless sculpture, especially his eyes, which were empty and lifeless, unlike anything a normal living being should have.

Looking at the face of the man in black robes, it was extremely dull and as pale as snow in winter.

Just then, the black-robed man who had been motionless suddenly moved!

His figure flashed by like a ghost, disappearing without a trace in the blink of an eye, as if he had never been there at all.

Upon seeing this, Qin Feng was greatly alarmed, and his face instantly became filled with vigilance.

Without the slightest hesitation, he immediately channeled all the divine power within his body, quickly condensing a thick layer of divine power shield to tightly envelop himself.

Almost at the same moment, the man in black robes appeared abruptly behind Qin Feng like a ghost, and with lightning speed, threw a punch that slammed hard into the divine power shield.

A loud "bang" was heard, like a thunderclap from a clear sky, and the powerful impact made the surrounding air tremble.

Surprisingly, this seemingly indestructible divine power shield successfully withstood the black-robed man's fierce attack. On the contrary, the black-robed man was pushed back several meters by the enormous reaction force.

Before Qin Feng could catch his breath, he hurriedly turned around and looked back warily.

However, the man in black robes vanished like smoke, disappearing once more.

Qin Feng frowned deeply, his expression shifting between anger and uncertainty.

He carefully looked around, leaving no corner unchecked, trying to find any clues about the man in black.

However, the man in black robes seemed to have vanished into thin air, leaving no trace whatsoever.

"Could he have left?" Qin Feng frowned and muttered to himself.

Despite his doubts, he dared not let his guard down for a moment.

He continued to pour divine power into the thin protective shield, making its light even more dazzling.

He still held the Five Elements Divine Sword, not daring to relax in the slightest.

The figure in black robes was like a ghost, appearing and disappearing without a trace, and its true strength was unfathomable.

Its lightning-fast speed alone left Qin Feng far behind.

If he is not careful, he may be taken advantage of by this mysterious and unpredictable man in black robes and suffer a sneak attack.

Time passed second by second, quite a while, but the man in black robes still did not reappear.

However, Qin Feng did not slacken his efforts even though the other party had not appeared for a long time. He remained focused on maintaining the divine power shield, tightly gripping the Five Elements Divine Sword in his hand, and slowly and steadily walked forward.

Just as Qin Feng had walked a short distance, a slight noise was heard.

In an instant, the previously empty space behind him rippled, and then the figure of the man in black robes appeared out of thin air without warning!

Almost simultaneously, the man in black robes suddenly swung his right fist, which, with an extremely sharp gust of wind, slammed into Qin Feng's divine power shield!

This time, the divine power shield shook violently, and cracks appeared on it.

Qin Feng demonstrated remarkable adaptability when faced with unexpected situations.

In that instant, a raging inferno suddenly burst forth from his body, the flames as fierce as a volcanic eruption.

In the blink of an eye, it swept across an area of ​​several hundred meters, the blazing flames intertwining to form a terrifying sea of ​​fire.

However, the black-robed man amidst the sea of ​​fire remained unusually calm, as if he were completely unconcerned about the terrifying flames.

His empty, lifeless eyes remained cold and icy, showing not a trace of panic.

At the same time, a strange, deep, dark light suddenly appeared around his body. This light was like a greedy black hole, attempting to devour the surging flames completely.

Upon seeing this, Qin Feng was shocked and thought to himself, "Just who is this mysterious man in black robes? Even flames containing the laws of fire couldn't harm him in the slightest, and were even absorbed by him!"

Thinking of this, he dared not be negligent in the slightest. He quickly formed hand seals with his hands like phantoms and chanted obscure and difficult-to-understand incantations in a low voice.

As he moved and chanted incantations, the Five Elements Divine Sword, which had been hovering beside him, suddenly shone brightly. Multicolored rays of light shone from the sword, like five agile dragons, carrying an incomparably fierce aura as they rushed straight toward the man in black robes.

However, facing the menacing Five Elements Divine Sword, the man in black robes neither dodged nor flinched, but simply stood still, letting the incomparably sharp sword tip pierce straight towards him.

A loud clang rang out. The moment the divine sword collided with the dark light, it was as if it had struck an indestructible wall of copper and iron. No matter how the Five Elements Divine Sword struggled, it could not advance even an inch further.

Just then, something unexpected happened.

The black-robed man slowly exhaled a thick, pitch-black mist, which spread rapidly with lightning speed.

In the blink of an eye, the mist transformed into a massive, all-encompassing black net, carrying a surging aura of malevolence as it descended upon Qin Feng.

Qin Feng suddenly felt a wave of icy coldness surging towards him, as if it could penetrate his very bones, causing him to shiver involuntarily.

Based on his years of experience and keen intuition, he immediately realized that the fog that permeated the surroundings was no ordinary thing.

Therefore, Qin Feng dared not be negligent in the slightest and hurriedly cast a wind-based spell.

He swiftly formed hand seals and chanted incantations. In an instant, a violent hurricane appeared out of nowhere, howling and sweeping away, carrying countless grains of sand and dust.

The thick black fog, which was so dense that it was almost impossible to see one's hand in front of one's face, finally began to slowly dissipate under the force of the fierce wind.

However, just as Qin Feng was concentrating on controlling the gale to dispel the black mist, a mysterious figure dressed in black robes silently rushed towards him under the cover of the mist.

In the blink of an eye, the man in black robes was already close at hand. He stretched out a withered hand, like a tree branch, and grabbed Qin Feng's throat with lightning speed!

Because his attention was focused on controlling wind magic, Qin Feng had no time to react effectively to the black-robed man's sudden attack.
