Qin Feng's brows furrowed deeply, forming a deep furrow. His sharp, hawk-like gaze was fixed unblinkingly on the old man in black robes' wrinkled face, which resembled withered tree bark.

He thought to himself: a 70% probability is indeed quite high, but can this old man's words be trusted?

Just as Qin Feng was struggling with his inner conflict and hesitation, Ling Xueyan, who had been silent all along, suddenly chuckled softly.

"Heh, I know the methods he knows too!"

Ling Xueyan's lips curled slightly, forming a faint smile. Her beautiful eyes swept across the black-robed old man before her, her gaze filled with disdain and contempt, as if she were looking at a clown performing a farcical act.

The black-robed elder, being stared at like this, instantly turned ashen-faced. His previously calm expression was now clouded over like the sky before a storm.

His cloudy eyes gleamed with suspicion as he stared intently at Ling Xueyan, letting out a cold snort through gritted teeth: "Hmph, you little brat, how could you possibly know the method I spoke of?"

Faced with the black-robed elder's questioning, Ling Xueyan remained calm and composed, responding with a smile, "Oh? Is that so? Then why don't you hear my answer?"

At this moment, Qin Feng, who was standing next to her, couldn't help but feel a slight stirring in his heart. He chose to trust Ling Xueyan's words without hesitation.

It should be noted that although Ling Xueyan looks to be about the same age as him, she has actually awakened her memories from her previous life and can be considered an old monster.

Therefore, in Qin Feng's view, Ling Xueyan most likely really knew the method mentioned by the old man in black robes.

With this thought in mind, Qin Feng no longer hesitated. He suddenly raised his head, stared directly at the black-robed elder opposite him, and said loudly, "Hehe, senior, since that's the case, then don't blame me for offending you! Today, please go to your death!"

Before he finished speaking, a powerful aura erupted from Qin Feng's body, sweeping towards the black-robed elder like a surging wave.

The old man in black robes was greatly surprised when he sensed the incredibly powerful aura emanating from Qin Feng.

However, his weathered face still forced a composed expression as he coldly said, "Hmph! Don't think I'm afraid of you!"

Before he finished speaking, his whole body suddenly trembled, and a jet-black stream of energy erupted from his body like a volcanic eruption. It quickly condensed in the air and confronted Qin Feng's aura head-on, neither giving way to the other.

In an instant, the two immense forces collided violently, and the entire space seemed to be shaken by the terrifying impact.

Visible ripples of energy spread outwards from the point of clash, distorting and deforming the void wherever they passed.

Faced with such a formidable enemy, Qin Feng dared not be careless in the slightest. His long, powerful hands moved rapidly like phantoms, forming a series of mysterious and complex hand seals.

As he moved his fingers, dazzling golden rays shot out from his fingertips like shooting stars streaking across the sky, continuously merging into the surging momentum.

At the same time, the old man in black robes opposite him was not to be outdone.

As he moved his palms rapidly, he constantly changed hand gestures and incantations.

Immediately afterwards, the already dense black aura became even deeper and heavier, eventually transforming into a series of ferocious black pythons with bared fangs and claws, lunging at Qin Feng with their gaping maws.

Upon seeing this scene, Ling Xueyan, who was watching from the sidelines, narrowed her beautiful eyes slightly. She opened her lips slightly and gave a soft shout, while raising a slender hand and gently waving it in the air.

The next moment, a clear and melodious sound rang out, and countless crystal-clear, gleaming ice shards appeared out of thin air without warning, rushing towards the menacing black pythons with an incomparably fierce momentum, like a dense rain of arrows.

In the blink of an eye, the ice shards met the black python head-on.

The two collided with a deafening roar, producing a series of loud crackling sounds. Sparks flew everywhere, and shards of ice flew in all directions, creating a spectacular and intense scene.

In that breathtaking clash, the ice shards and the black python collided violently like two surging torrents.

In an instant, light shone brightly and energy surged forth, causing the entire space to tremble.

As time went on, the forces of both sides gradually approached a delicate balance.

At this crucial moment of stalemate, the old man in black robes suddenly noticed something. His hands moved swiftly, shifting between various complex hand seals like a phantom. At the same time, he chanted incantations, the low, obscure sounds of which echoed in the air.

As these incantations rang out, the black pythons, which had been somewhat exhausted, suddenly seemed to have their life force rekindled, radiating an even more powerful and ferocious aura.

They hissed and roared, charging forward again with overwhelming force, their ferocity chilling to the bone.

Faced with such a fierce attack, Qin Feng's eyes suddenly sharpened, and a resolute look flashed in his eyes.

Suddenly, the golden light emanating from his entire body became even more dazzling, like a brilliant golden sun hanging high in the sky.

Immediately afterwards, he roared, his voice deafening, as if it could pierce the clouds.

Right after that roar, a shocking scene unfolded—behind Qin Feng, the faint phantom of an ancient and solemn god statue appeared!

This statue was tens of feet tall, radiating boundless pressure and a sacred aura, as if it were the supreme being in this world.

With the blessing of the phantom image of the god, Qin Feng's power surged several times over in an instant, becoming unstoppable like a volcanic eruption.

With a flick of his arm, an incredibly powerful force roared out and slammed into the oncoming swarm of black pythons.

With a deafening roar, the swarm of black pythons was forced back as if it had encountered an impregnable dam.

In an instant, the black pythons writhed in agony, some even exploding in mid-air, turning into plumes of black smoke and vanishing without a trace.

Taking advantage of this rare opportunity, Ling Xueyan did not hesitate at all.

Her delicate body trembled slightly, and her jade-like hands swiftly formed a series of mysterious hand seals. With her movements, the surrounding temperature suddenly began to drop sharply, and a chilling aura spread, sending shivers down one's spine.

In the blink of an eye, countless crystal-clear icicles appeared out of thin air and converged together at an astonishing speed.

These icicles merged and intertwined, eventually forming enormous ice spikes that gleamed with a cold light and shot straight toward the black-robed elder.

At this moment, the old man in black robes finally showed a look of terror on his face. He tried to dodge the sudden attack, but it was too late.

The ice spikes pierced the black-robed old man's body mercilessly. His eyes widened in disbelief before he slowly collapsed.

Qin Feng let out a long sigh of relief, the light emanating from his body gradually receded, and the illusory image of the divine statue behind him disappeared.

Ling Xueyan stepped forward to check on the old man in black robes. After confirming that he was dead, she stood up and released a ball of flame, which burned the old man's body to ashes.
