Leng Yuexi activated the sword formation, isolating the outside world.
Qin Feng no longer hesitated, and with a touch of his finger to his brow, a unique spiritual light shone directly at the Lord of the Abyss Palace.
Upon seeing this, the Palace Master Yuan, who was charging forward with his sword drawn, frowned, a very bad premonition arising within him.
"What is this? My gut tells me this thing is bad for me. This kid is weird. Never mind, I'll get out of here first."
He decisively abandoned the attack, thinking he should temporarily avoid the spiritual light.
The spiritual light of the Heaven-Stabilizing Pearl is not so easy to hide.
Swish.
It shone directly on the Lord of the Abyss Palace.
Lord Yuan was greatly alarmed and realized something was wrong.
He felt as if time and space around him had frozen, and his mind had become incredibly dull. An extreme sense of danger surfaced in his mind.
Upon seeing this ray of light, Leng Yuexi seemed to have thought of something, and a smile appeared on her lips.
Qin Feng's expression was cold and stern, and his movements were without the slightest hesitation. He drew his Star Sword and flashed to the front of the Palace Master of the Abyss.
With an incredulous and horrified look in the eyes of the Palace Master, he thrust the sword fiercely into the space between his eyebrows.
Qin Feng thought that everything was over and that dealing with the Palace Master Yuan and Gu Ming would be as smooth as it had been.
However, when the Star Sword pierced half of the Abyss Palace Master's ghost face, it did not pierce through, but only made a "clang" sound.
Qin Feng frowned. The ghost mask of the Palace Master Yuan was more ferocious and evil than the others, but he didn't expect its defense to be so strong.
Without much thought, he directly peeled off half of the ghost mask, revealing the imposing face of the Palace Master Yuan.
The Lord of the Abyss remained motionless, his expression one of terror and confusion.
After removing the ghost mask, Qin Feng continued to thrust his sword towards the Abyss Palace Master's brow.
Even without the protection of the Ghost Mask, the Lord of the Abyss's demonized body was still extremely powerful.
The Star Sword pierced his brow as if striking a weapon, incredibly resilient, and only slightly broke his skin.
Qin Feng snorted coldly and used his killing move. This time he finally succeeded, and the sword tip went straight for the back of Qin Feng's head.
Qin Feng withdrew the Star Sword and breathed a sigh of relief as he looked at the Abyss Palace Master who was lying on the ground.
"It took a lot of effort, but we finally solved it. Yuexi should be fine now. We've solved the most difficult problem, and we've won this battle."
Leng Yuexi did not immediately dispel the Zhou Tian Sword Formation, but instead went to Qin Feng's side.
She looked at the Abyss Palace Master, who had been pierced through by Qin Feng's sword and was lying on the ground, and at the half-dismembered body, and her brows furrowed involuntarily.
Qin Feng noticed Leng Yuexi's expression. "Yuexi, what's wrong? I killed that person with one sword strike. They should all be dead by now!"
Leng Yuexi asked uncertainly:
"Brother Feng, I always felt that this person wasn't quite dead. I've seen many people fake their deaths to escape."
Brother Feng, look, we've killed a few of these masked men from the Dark Palace. When each of them died, their masks shattered and dissipated.
But this person is different; that half of the ghost mask is still perfectly preserved, which suggests there might be a trap.
Qin Feng stiffened upon hearing this.
"Yuexi is right, I hadn't noticed that."
"That's easy. I'll shatter this half of the ghost mask and destroy his corpse as well. That way, there won't be any problems."
Leng Yuexi nodded. "According to Brother Feng, no matter how much the other party schemes, they have no way to counter it."
Qin Feng picked up the Starry Sky Sword and prepared to set off, intending to destroy the corpse first and then shatter the mask.
But at that moment, the half of the ghost mask that had fallen to the ground turned into specks of ghostly light and flowed into the body of the fallen Lord of the Abyss Palace.
A bizarre scene unfolded: the Palace Master Yuan, whose forehead had just been pierced by Qin Feng's sword, had his wound healed as the ghostly light transformed from the mask flowed in.
Lord Yuan opened his eyes and slowly stood up, as if nothing had happened.
Seeing this, Qin Feng, fearing a trap, stopped his attack. "This is possible? What kind of technique is this?"
Looking at the changed Palace Master Yuan, Leng Yuexi guessed:
"My feeling is right, this should be a kind of substitution technique. Substitute items are not easy to make."
Some people use talismans instead, some use puppets, but he used a ghost mask instead; the principle is the same.
Qin Feng clicked his tongue in amazement upon hearing this, "That's truly amazing. I don't know this substitution technique, but Yue Xi, do you?"
Leng Yuexi nodded.
"Yes, but it takes a huge amount of time and resources, and it's not easy to refine."
This person's ghostly face was filled with evil, malevolence, and resentment. He used extremely clumsy methods, and to achieve the effect of taking someone else's place, he probably slaughtered many living beings.
Palace Master Yuan returned to normal, his gaze towards Qin Feng filled with anger, but even more so with fear.
He was genuinely afraid that Qin Feng would resort to the same methods again, and he wasn't confident he could withstand them.
So he thought of playing dead to escape the disaster and then calling for help, but Leng Yuexi saw through his plan and secretly admired the little girl for being so knowledgeable.
He forced himself to remain calm and said to Qin Feng:
"Boy, what kind of trick did you use just now? It was so strange."
But as you've seen, I'm unkillable. You don't need to waste your time. I, Yuan Huan, admit defeat today. Let's leave it at that, okay?
The thought in Yuan Huan's mind was that as soon as he left, he would immediately report to the upper realm and bring reinforcements back to fight.
Qin Feng smiled dismissively upon hearing this.
"Do you think I'm a three-year-old? I've killed so many people from your Dark Palace, do you think you can just let this go?"
And what are your plans? Do you think I don't know? It's just a delaying tactic.
As for you not being able to kill him? I don't believe there's anyone who can't be killed. If once isn't enough, then twice, three times, until you kill him. I don't believe you have that many substitutes.
Leng Yuexi added, "Don't worry, Brother Feng. A normal person can only have one substitute item. If you kill him again, he'll be gone."
Upon hearing this, Yuan Huan became somewhat uneasy; Qin Feng was not planning to let him off the hook.
Leng Yuexi was not wrong; he indeed had no substitute.
Qin Feng looked at Yuan Huan with a smile, "Oh, it seems I overestimated you. Just kill him again, that's easy."
Yuan Huan's voice was stern and his expression cold as he said:
"Boy, are you sure you want to do this? Don't drag yourself into an abyss of no return."
As you know, there are people in our upper realm, and their power is immense.
I, Yuan Huan, come from the Yuan family, a family whose strength is beyond your imagination. It is a family with a Golden Immortal ancestor.
You don't know how powerful the Golden Immortal is; you only need to understand that he can deal with you with a single thought.
The Lord of the Abyss's words carried a strong sense of threat.
Qin Feng remained unmoved.
"The Upper Realm? The Dark Palace? The Yuan Family? These are indeed troublesome. We'll deal with them later. Let's deal with you first."
Our enmity is irreconcilable. Not only did you obstruct my path, but you also plotted against me. I will not rest easy until you are dead.
Upon hearing this, Yuan Huan was both shocked and furious. In all his years of ruling the Tianhuang Continent, this was the first time he had humbled himself and yielded to someone, only to be rejected.
He said fiercely, "Fine, you forced me to do this. Well then, you just wait."
Qin Feng ignored him and said to Leng Yuexi, "Yuexi, continue activating the formation."
Leng Yuexi said softly, "Don't worry, Brother Feng, the formation hasn't been removed. You can make your move at any time."
Qin Feng, a murderous intent surging within him, looked at Yuan Huan and said, "That's good."
He touched his brow again, intending to use the Heaven-Stabilizing Pearl once more.
