Seeing that the Shadow Puppet had completely disappeared, Qin Feng, Ling Xueyan, Qing Jie, and the Golden Skull all breathed a slight sigh of relief.
However, the surrounding demonic energy showed no signs of dissipating, which made none of them dare to relax for even a moment.
Just as the three people and the skeleton were adjusting their state and preparing to continue their journey, suddenly, without warning, a bolt of purple lightning as thick as a child's arm descended from the sky, striking the ground about five meters in front of them with a deafening roar.
With a deafening roar, a deep crater was blasted into the ground, dust flew everywhere, and debris scattered in all directions.
Faced with this sudden turn of events, Qing Jie couldn't help but cry out in alarm, "What's going on? Is this never going to end?"
His eyes widened, his face filled with astonishment.
Ling Xueyan, who was standing to the side, quickly looked up at the sky. Her beautiful eyes were filled with high alertness. She stared intently at the still gloomy sky, her delicate eyebrows slightly furrowed.
"It seems we've been targeted by some mysterious powerful figure."
Before the words were even finished, the previously stable space around them began to twist and deform violently, like ripples on water.
Then, a chilling scene unfolded—numerous, small-sized demonic puppets slowly emerged from the distorted spatial rifts.
These demonic puppets were menacing, with ferocious faces, exuding an aura of evil and terror.
Seeing this, Qin Feng gripped the Five Elements Divine Sword in his hand with a solemn expression.
The golden skull regained its spirits, and its body once again shone with dazzling golden light.
Seeing this, Ling Xueyan did not hesitate at all. She quickly formed hand seals and chanted incantations.
In an instant, a ball of icy blue flames rose from her palm, then roared like a fire dragon and swept towards the newly appeared little demonic puppets.
At the same time, Qin Feng flashed and walked side by side with the golden skeleton, rushing towards the densely packed, surging horde of demonic puppets without hesitation.
On the other side, Qing Jie also acted decisively, without the slightest hesitation, taking out handfuls of various talismans he had prepared beforehand and continuously throwing them at the enemy.
In an instant, the whole scene became extremely chaotic and thrilling.
"Boom..."
Suddenly, a series of loud noises echoed in the sky.
The once clear and azure sky seemed to be suddenly covered by an invisible giant hand, instantly turning gloomy and dark. Thick dark clouds rolled and surged like ink, quickly gathering together to form a chilling black curtain.
Within these dense clouds, a pair of enormous eyes could be vaguely seen slowly opening.
Those eyes were like an abyss burning with raging flames, revealing endless mystery and majesty.
As those eyes opened, an immense, powerful, and suffocating pressure suddenly descended upon the world.
On the ground, the shadow puppets seemed to sense some kind of command, and their movements became increasingly violent and frenzied.
These dark figures moved and leaped like ghosts, launching a fierce attack on Qin Feng and his group with astonishing speed and power.
Faced with such a fierce offensive, Qin Feng and the others immediately felt increased pressure, but fortunately, they were still able to control the situation with their strength.
Just then, the golden skull suddenly looked up at the sky and let out an extremely piercing shriek.
The whistling sound was like a sharp arrow piercing the sky, soaring straight into the clouds, that it even caused the huge eyes hidden in the clouds to tremble slightly.
Immediately afterwards, a series of crisp "crackling" sounds were heard from the bones all over the golden skull.
Then, dazzling golden rays burst forth from the gaps in his bones, quickly condensing into rings of brilliant golden light.
These golden halos expanded outwards from the golden skull as the center.
Wherever the golden halo passed, the menacing demonic puppets that came into contact with it melted and disintegrated instantly, turning into dust that filled the sky.
The scene before their eyes left Qin Feng, Ling Xueyan, and Qing Jie utterly shocked!
The three of them stared wide-eyed, mouths slightly agape, their faces filled with horror.
Although they already knew in their hearts that the golden skeleton was quite powerful, they were still deeply shocked when they witnessed its terrifying power.
Who would have thought that this golden skeleton hadn't even used its full power before!
As the golden skull displayed such terrifying abilities, the extremely tense situation miraculously eased slightly.
However, at that moment, ripples appeared again in the giant eyes within the clouds.
Immediately afterwards, a thick, dragon-like purple lightning bolt suddenly descended from the sky, hurtling down with earth-shattering force!
Faced with this sudden turn of events, Qing Jie couldn't help but cry out, "What...what is this thing? How can it possess such terrifying power!"
Qin Feng, standing to the side, narrowed his eyes and stared intently at the approaching purple lightning. He said in a deep voice, "Whatever it is, since it has already made its move, it will probably reveal its true form sooner or later."
Before he finished speaking, Qin Feng flashed forward to meet the attack. With a wave of his arm, the Five Elements Divine Sword in his hand instantly burst forth with dazzling five-colored light, shooting straight towards the purple lightning like a shooting star streaking across the sky.
The Five Elements Divine Sword, enveloped in five-colored light, crashed fiercely into the purple lightning like five roaring dragons!
In an instant, a dazzling light burst forth from the point of collision, accompanied by a deafening roar, and an extremely violent energy shockwave swept outwards with overwhelming force!
At the center of the impact, Qin Feng felt as if he had been hit head-on by a mountain, and his body was involuntarily sent flying backward.
Ling Xueyan reacted swiftly, her jade-like hands rapidly forming a hand seal, instantly creating a dazzling magic spell.
With a gentle flick of her sleeve, a soft divine force, like a pair of invisible hands, steadily supported Qin Feng's rapidly retreating body.
At the same time, the golden skull once again raised its head and let out a mournful howl, its sound resounding through the sky and reaching the heavens!
Immediately afterwards, his figure blurred, transforming into a dazzling golden streak of light, and he charged headlong towards the giant eye in the sky without hesitation.
The golden halo surrounding him grew increasingly intense, like a golden sun rising slowly, its radiance even unable to completely obscure the thick, dark clouds that blotted out the sky.
On the other side, Qing Jie's face was ashen, his hands moved rapidly, and he muttered incantations.
In a flash, he suddenly threw a giant talisman that he had prepared in advance into the air.
The talisman swelled in the wind, transforming into a massive shield in the blink of an eye, emitting a pale blue light that firmly protected Qin Feng and Ling Xueyan within.
At this moment, even more purple lightning bolts, like ferocious purple dragons, roared out from the rolling dark clouds.
The terrifying power contained in these purple lightning bolts caused the entire space to tremble.
Faced with such a perilous situation, the golden skull showed no fear and plunged headlong into the thunderclouds.
In an instant, golden light shone in all directions and purple mist crisscrossed within the clouds. The two completely different colors of light intertwined to form a dazzling and mesmerizing scene.
