Upon hearing Leng Yuexi's affirmative reply, Qin Feng's calm face broke into a happy smile.
While searching for the Purple Origin Crystal in the Gale Zone, they realized that this world might not exist for long.
They were considering whether they could collect and utilize the remaining primordial power that had not yet completely dissipated.
Leng Yuexi suggested setting up a large array here to connect with the power of origin and attract all that power of origin.
This requires a lot of effort; in addition to refining specific array flags, it also requires a lot of Purple Source Crystals.
Nevertheless, Qin Feng and his group decided to proceed.
It would be such a waste to let them watch this rare source of power dissipate like this; it's better to let them benefit from it.
They planned to collect more Purple Origin Crystals before having Leng Yuexi make a move.
Unfortunately, Sima Jie, or rather Mu Rongyi, made his move, setting up the Soul-Devouring Purgatory Array to seal off the entire Great Rift Valley.
Mu Rongyi's array formation skills are equally impressive; he was able to add the Purple Origin Crystal to the array flags, drawing upon the primordial power dormant deep underground.
Qin Feng and Leng Yuexi decided to observe the formation for a while before making any further plans.
The four of them came out of the Gangfeng District with people from various major forces, but they did not show themselves immediately.
When she came out, she observed the formation and thought it was feasible, but she would only know the specifics after the formation was actually in operation.
Qin Feng rescued Dongfang Wuwei but didn't immediately attack because he wanted to see what the Soul Devouring Purgatory Formation was all about.
Now that Mu Rongyi has activated the great formation and Leng Yuexi has confirmed it, he can rest assured.
Qin Feng said to Leng Yuexi, "You guys hold on, I'll go deal with Murong Yi first."
Since Yi and Yi are homophones, Qin Feng assumed that the two had the same name, Murong Yi.
Leng Yuexi nodded, "Be careful, we'll be fine here, I can handle it."
Qin Feng nodded, Star Sword in hand, and charged directly at Mu Rongyi.
Seeing the panicked crowd, Leng Yuexi used some of her cultivation to ensure everyone could hear her.
"Calm down first. Panic will only make things worse. I have a way to protect you and prevent you from being robbed for the time being."
When everyone heard that someone had stepped forward, they immediately felt reassured. They all looked at Leng Yuexi expectantly, hoping that she could break the deadlock.
Leng Yuexi didn't say much; she took out eight array flags.
Besides herself and Ao Ling, she gave one face to Dongfang Wuwei, Chu Tian, and Jiu Xiao, and for the other three faces, she found three peak Golden Immortals to control them.
Her calm and reassuring voice rang out.
"These eight command flags can form an eight-directional protective array. Once the array is activated, the external formations will no longer be able to take away your belongings."
All you need to do is follow the instructions of the flag bearer and inject your immortal power appropriately.
She and Ao Ling took the lead, pouring their immortal power into the array flags, which immediately lit up.
The other six followed suit, and all eight flags were activated.
Leng Yuexi formed a hand knot, and instantly the eight array flags were linked together, creating an energy barrier that protected everyone.
Everyone cheered as they felt the strange suction force disappear, and followed the flag bearer's instructions to channel in an appropriate amount of immortal power.
Under Leng Yuexi's Eight Directions Concentration Protection Array, they temporarily found peace and turned their attention to the battlefield between Qin Feng and Mu Rongyi.
Dongfang Wuwei asked timidly, "Can Brother Qin manage on his own? Is there anything we can do to help?"
Leng Yuexi didn't reply, but shook her head slightly. She trusted Qin Feng; he could handle Mu Rongyi.
Dongfang Yue said irritably, "Brother Wuwei, you almost got killed just now. We'll help by protecting ourselves and not causing any trouble."
Dongfang Wuwei was somewhat embarrassed by the rebuttal, and the others also looked awkward.
Ao Ling knew they meant well, and comforted them, "Don't worry, Brother Feng can handle it. Let's wait and see."
The group had no choice but to protect themselves while offering Qin Feng emotional support.
With the Star Sword in hand, Qin Feng thrust the blade straight at Mu Rongyi.
Mu Rongyi dared not be careless; Qin Feng's seemingly casual sword energy earlier had already made him wary of it.
The Ink Sword and the Star Sword clashed.
Clang.
The two exchanged tentative blows, quickly separating and maintaining a certain distance.
Qin Feng remained calm and in a good mood, maintaining a slight smile.
Mu Rongyi gave a cold and sinister smile and said in a low voice:
"You do have some skill, no wonder you were able to kill my other clones. But you can't escape my grasp today. Perhaps this is retribution. You killed my clones and now you've run into me."
Qin Feng smiled faintly, "I can kill your clone, and I can kill this clone of yours as well."
Mu Rongyi's smile grew even colder. "How dare you talk such nonsense! My life is on the line; let's see if you have the ability to save it."
Mu Yi was easily provoked, and he unleashed his mid-stage Immortal King aura, launching an attack.
The ink-black sword gleamed eerily, like a deadly scythe, as it hurtled towards Qin Feng.
This time, Mu Rongyi was serious. Unlike his previous probing, he was actually very curious about how strong Qin Feng was.
Qin Feng remained completely unfazed, responding to each move with a counter-attack.
Murong Yi launched a few attacks but found he couldn't defeat Qin Feng, so they separated again.
He also sensed something was wrong; the energy drawn by the Soul Devouring Purgatory Array had stopped, so he couldn't help but look in the direction of those cultivators.
He noticed that these people were all well protected by a large formation, and frowned. "It seems you are very familiar with my methods. You came prepared."
Qin Feng was taken aback. "You've misunderstood. Actually, I don't know you very well, but it just so happens that we also know what you do."
Mu Rongyi's lips twitched. "Alright, sharp-tongued, a killer, kill, kill, kill."
Mu Rongyi was thoroughly enraged. His body was enveloped in black energy, a combination of malevolence, murderous intent, and resentment. He had no idea how many people he had already killed.
Qin Feng thought to himself, "Just as I thought," and clicked his tongue, "It's the path of slaughter again. Are you all the same? Will you go through a demonic transformation through killing later?"
Mu Rongyi paused in mid-air as he slashed at Qin Feng with his ink sword, then resumed his fierce attack.
One slash after another, all simple moves, he looked like a novice.
Qin Feng's impression was different. The other party's actions were decisive and swift, with a kind of profound simplicity.
Only by killing countless people can one gain a clear understanding of the body's vital organs and how to kill a person in the fastest, simplest, and most effortless way.
Qin Feng now feels as if Murong Yi has been resurrected when facing Mu Rongyi, which is a very strange feeling.
Two different faces exuded the same aura and used the same moves; although there were differences, they were largely the same.
Mu Rongyi became increasingly alarmed as the fight progressed; he was a mid-stage Immortal King, while Qin Feng was an early-stage Immortal King.
Instead of using the Sima family's methods of concealing his identity, he unleashed his own preferred path of slaughter, yet he still failed to gain the slightest advantage.
This puzzled him greatly; where did Dongfang Yue find such a pervert?
Qin Feng, unaware of his thoughts, teased, "What? Still reluctant to transform into a demon? Or haven't you learned it yet?"
