Mu Rongyi had made several moves without achieving the desired results and was becoming somewhat impatient.
Hearing Qin Feng's teasing, his expression turned sinister, his eyes fierce, and he stared intently at Qin Feng, saying in a low voice:
"You know my methods very well, and you even know about demonization! So, as you wish, go ahead and become a demon."
As soon as he finished speaking, a large amount of black energy surged from his body, enveloping him and making him appear sinister and terrifying.
In just a moment, the black mist dissipated considerably, revealing his tall and slender figure.
A half-mask covered half of his face, making it impossible to see his whole appearance and giving him an air of mystery.
His Sima family attire vanished, replaced by a set of black armor, sharp and imposing.
The ink sword in his hand had also changed; the blade had become narrower and longer, emitting a dark, eerie light, and its aura had become even more fierce.
After being corrupted, Mu is more likely to give off an eerie, cold, mysterious, and powerful aura.
He felt as cold as iron, and looked as black as ink. Coupled with his elongated body, he resembled a chilling ink sword.
Those hiding inside the Eight Directions Concentration Protection Array stared blankly at the drastically changed Mu Rongyi, utterly shocked and terrified.
"This person is terrifying! His aura is so fierce and malevolent, it must be the result of killing countless people."
"Why did Qin Feng provoke him? Isn't that just courting death?"
"Can Qin Feng handle this? This terrifying aura... I'm afraid we're all doomed."
Listening to the crowd's incessant chatter, and even their complaints about Qin Feng, Ao Ling coldly shouted, "Shut up if you don't want to die! You would have been killed long ago if it weren't for Brother Feng!"
Everyone felt awkward and shut their mouths, now only hoping that Qin Feng could deal with this person.
The Sima family members didn't make a fuss, but their hearts sank when they saw Mu Rongyi's half-revealed face.
The little hope they had initially held onto was now completely shattered; this person looked completely different from Sima Jie, and this person was not Sima Jie at all.
The demonized Mu Rongyi looked coldly at Qin Feng and provocatively asked, "How is it? Are you satisfied?"
Qin Feng stared at his face for a moment, then nodded, "You've changed your appearance; you look a lot like him."
Mu Rongyi snorted coldly, his tone murderous, "Kill."
Unleashing his full power of slaughter, he slashed at Qin Feng with his ink sword.
The spectators were closely watching the battle unfold. If Qin Feng couldn't hold them off, it would be their turn next.
When Qin Feng saw Mu Rongyi fiercely attacking, he remained calm and raised his Star Sword to meet the attack with a light yet heavy touch.
Clang.
Mu Rongyi frowned, his expression turning cold. "Kill, kill, kill."
Sword after sword, each strike deadly.
One move after another, each one ruthless.
Qin Feng remained expressionless, responding with sword strike after strike. Just like Mu Rongyi's killing style, his counterattacks were equally simple.
Some onlookers were confused, so a disciple from Jiugongfang asked Jiuxiao.
"Senior Brother Jiuxiao, what are they doing? It looks like kids fighting, one sword here, one sword there. This person doesn't seem that bad after being demonized. I feel like I could do it too."
Many people agreed with his statement.
Jiuxiao naturally understood and admonished:
"Don't talk nonsense. Have you ever heard of the saying 'the greatest truths are the simplest'? These two are both masters of swordsmanship, and their understanding of swordsmanship is unfathomable. Just look at the fluctuations when they clash."
Those who couldn't understand followed Jiu Xiao's reminder and paid special attention to the details when the two swords clashed.
To everyone's surprise, even before the two swords made contact, there was a contest of aura, sword energy, and sword intent.
The two swords represent the generals leading the army, commanding a million soldiers in a magnificent battle.
Every sword strike is like that.
At the same time, the two had excellent control over their power, using it only for attack and not wasting a single bit of useless immortal power. This discovery amazed everyone.
Only then did everyone realize that what seemed like a simple sword strike actually involved so many intricacies, and they looked at the two people on the battlefield with awe.
Mu Rongyi was surprised to find that Qin Feng was much more troublesome than he had imagined; even after he had become a demon, he still couldn't defeat him.
Whenever he saw Qin Feng's ambiguous smile, he always felt that something bad was about to happen.
Mu Rongyi felt he needed to deal with Qin Feng quickly; he couldn't let an unexpected person ruin his big plans.
He originally infiltrated the Sima family to use their resources for cultivation. Having a powerful family as a background would make things much easier.
I've been doing quite well in Sima all these years, and I didn't want to be exposed so soon.
Upon learning about the Ziyuan mining area, he still had other ideas, the details of which he would only find out once he entered the mining area.
Not long ago, he met Dongfang Yue. In just a brief encounter, he learned Dongfang Yue's secret. He wanted to get Dongfang Yue, so he immediately asked Sima Jian to propose marriage.
Unfortunately, Dongfang Yue didn't like him at all and even disliked him, so she ran away from home because of it.
Mu Rongyi harbored a ruthless heart and planned to make a move against Dongfang Yue after visiting the Ziyuan mining area.
But fate smiled upon him, and Dongfang Yue also wanted to go to the mining area. At that time, he made up his mind to pull off a big heist.
He would not let anyone who entered the Ziyuan mining area go; all the Ziyuan crystals they found would be his.
The discovery of the Senluo Palace further solidified his resolve to take action; it was truly a godsend.
He attempted to use a grand formation to draw upon the primordial power of this world, and he actually succeeded.
He was overjoyed and had even planned how to handle the aftermath.
Mu Rongyi stared at Qin Feng with a chilling gaze, his eyes filled with a deep, unsettling light. He absolutely could not allow Qin Feng to ruin his plan, a plan that was originally flawless.
He took out dozens of blank-faced people, all of whom he had previously captured from various powerful forces. Their souls had been imprisoned by magical seals.
The onlookers were shocked to see these dozens of people and immediately recognized them as their fellow disciples. They wondered what Mu Rongyi intended to do with them.
Mu Rongyi's eyes were sinister. With a wave of his hand, all these people's bodies exploded, blood and flesh flew everywhere, and blood was everywhere.
Having reached the Golden Immortal realm, they were immortal as long as their souls remained intact. After the physical bodies of these dozens of people were destroyed, their imprisoned souls were revealed.
They were enveloped in a network of cages, their expressions blank, as if they had no idea what was happening.
Mu Rongyi's voice was ruthless, "Offer a ritual to activate the formation."
Everyone noticed that the entire space trembled, and a chilling wind swept through the dark space.
The Soul-Devouring Purgatory Array, which enveloped the Great Rift Valley, began to operate wildly. More free purple gas escaped from the depths of the cracks in the Gale Zone and flowed into the array.
Everyone had the illusion that the great formation had come alive; it seemed very excited, like a wild beast that had been starving for a long time.
It eagerly swept away the souls of these dozens of people, not even sparing their blood.
As Mu Rongyi sacrificed dozens of people, the Soul Devouring Purgatory Array went berserk, and the entire space was filled with a strong smell of blood.
The special power that had previously stripped everyone of their souls, blood, and life force suddenly intensified.
