Ling Xueyan stared intently at Qin Feng with her beautiful eyes. She saw him looking up at the hazy sky and couldn't help but furrow her delicate eyebrows. She wondered to herself: What is this guy thinking?

Unable to contain her curiosity any longer, Ling Xueyan finally asked, "You're not planning to get rid of this terrifying demonic puppet, are you?"

However, Qin Feng did not answer her question directly. Instead, he raised one eyebrow, raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and asked in a half-smile, "Do you really think that once we leave this area shrouded in thick smog, we will be able to successfully shake off the pursuit of this demonic puppet?"

Upon hearing this, Ling Xueyan instinctively opened her mouth, wanting to retort, but the words caught in her throat.

After all, the area shrouded in smog wasn't particularly vast, and she wasn't entirely confident that she could avoid the demon puppets' pursuit after leaving this place.

For a moment, she was speechless and stood there stunned.

Seeing this, Qin Feng smiled faintly, then said with a smirk, "Of course, we absolutely cannot be foolish enough to provoke that demonic puppet! It's more important to leave this area as soon as possible."

"If we happen to get locked onto by that guy, we'll just find a way to get rid of it as soon as possible."

Hearing Qin Feng's words, Ling Xueyan felt somewhat helpless, but she also understood that there was no better solution at the moment.

So she could only sigh softly, nod with a worried expression, and reply, "Alas... it seems that's the only way."

Just as the two turned around and were about to leave, a chilling wind suddenly howled past without warning.

In an instant, the already thick smog seemed to be driven by some mysterious force, and began to churn and surge violently, its concentration increasing to the point where it was almost impossible to see one's own hand in front of one's face.

Qin Feng's expression changed drastically in an instant. He lowered his voice and said urgently, "Not good! That damned demonic puppet has discovered us."

Upon hearing this, Ling Xueyan frowned deeply, her beautiful eyes filled with seriousness. She looked around warily, trying to find any trace of the demonic puppet.

Just then, deep within the thick, impenetrable smog, a blurry black shadow appeared and disappeared.

At the same time, a deafening, chilling roar resounded through the sky, like the howl of a demon from the deepest hell, sending shivers down one's spine.

Faced with such a critical situation, Qin Feng dared not be negligent in the slightest. He took a deep breath and then his hands moved swiftly like lightning, forming a series of complex and mysterious hand seals.

As he moved, a dazzling golden light suddenly shot out from his palm, like an indestructible sword, piercing straight into the surrounding smog.

Wherever the golden light reached, the smog retreated like a flock of sheep being herded, temporarily creating a relatively clear space for them.

Taking advantage of this fleeting moment of clarity, the two were finally able to see the true face of the demonic puppet.

It was enormous, standing two or three zhang tall, its body covered in black scales that gleamed with a cold, icy light.

That twisted and ferocious face was even more terrifying. When its blood-red maw opened, it revealed a row of sharp fangs, as if it could tear a person to pieces at any moment.

Ling Xueyan stared wide-eyed at the demonic puppet before her in horror. Its twisted, deformed, and hideous face made her tremble involuntarily, and a chill ran up her spine.

"So...so hideous!" she stammered, her voice filled with barely concealed fear.

Seeing this, Qin Feng snorted coldly and said with a face full of disdain, "It's nothing but an extremely ugly thing!"

Before he finished speaking, a faint golden light suddenly surged around him, like a golden sun rising abruptly, illuminating the surroundings in a golden glow.

Immediately afterwards, he waved his arm lightly, his movements as natural and fluid as flowing water, and a dazzling golden chain shot out like lightning, rushing straight toward the demonic puppet.

Sensing the approaching danger, the demonic puppet frantically swung its two enormous claws, attempting to break free from the menacing golden chains.

However, these chains seemed to possess inexhaustible power. No matter how the demonic puppet struggled and resisted, it could only be bound tighter and tighter, with no possibility of breaking free.

Just then, something unexpected happened.

Suddenly, all the black scales covering the demonic puppet stood up, each scale shimmering with an eerie black light. Then, beams of black light shot out in all directions like a dense rain of arrows.

Qin Feng reacted quickly, grabbing Ling Xueyan who was still in shock beside him, and retreated rapidly in a flash.

The black rays of light all missed their mark, striking the ground with deafening roars and creating bottomless craters, sending dust billowing into the sky.

"I never expected this thing to have such powerful moves. We can't delay any longer; we must get it certified!"

Qin Feng frowned deeply, his eyes becoming incredibly resolute. In an instant, the aura within him erupted like a volcanic eruption, instantly soaring to its peak. The powerful pressure permeated the surroundings, making the air seem to freeze.

Immediately afterwards, Qin Feng took out his natal magic weapon, the Five Elements Divine Sword!

As soon as the Five Elements Divine Sword was drawn, five different lights flowed and alternated on its blade, radiating powerful spiritual energy fluctuations. Qin Feng, wielding the Five Elements Divine Sword, roared and charged towards the demonic puppet.

Sensing an even greater threat, the demonic puppet roared to the sky once more, a faint red light flickering beneath its black scales.

Qin Feng was suspended in mid-air, gripping the gleaming divine sword tightly in his hand, and wielding it with astonishing speed.

In an instant, five incomparably sharp sword energies roared out, intertwining with each other to form a massive spiritual net that blotted out the sky, surging towards the demonic puppet below with unparalleled power.

Faced with this fierce attack, the demonic puppet did not back down and swung its two thick and powerful claws to meet the rapidly approaching spirit net.

Each intense collision between the two would unleash dazzling flashes of light and billowing black smoke, creating an extremely awe-inspiring scene.

Ling Xueyan, who was standing to the side, witnessed this thrilling battle and knew in her heart that she could not simply stand aside as a bystander.

So, she gritted her teeth, decisively stretched out her hands and began to quickly form hand seals, while muttering mysterious incantations under her breath.
