At this critical moment, Ling Xueyan, light as a swallow, sped towards them with lightning speed.
Her beautiful eyes widened in shock, and she let out a clear, melodious yet authoritative shout.
At the same time, the sword she was holding seemed to be summoned and instantly sprang out of its scabbard.
The sword, illuminated by the sunlight, gleamed with a chilling, icy light that seemed capable of freezing everything in the world.
Immediately afterwards, Ling Xueyan flicked her wrist, and an extremely sharp and incomparably powerful sword aura, like lightning slicing through the sky, rushed toward the surging and terrifying demonic energy with the force of a thunderbolt, accompanied by a deafening whistling sound.
"You all leave quickly! Qin Feng and I will hold them off here!" Ling Xueyan shouted loudly, her voice resolute and unwavering, without the slightest hesitation.
Upon hearing this, Su Liyue and the others were immediately filled with worry and reluctance.
However, they also knew that if they insisted on staying at this moment, they would not only fail to provide any help to Ling Xueyan and Qin Feng, but might even become a burden to them.
So, Su Liyue and the others exchanged glances, gritted their teeth, quickened their pace, and ran as fast as they could towards the outside of the palace.
At this moment, Ling Xueyan and Qin Feng stood back to back, facing the ever-expanding, rampant, and ferocious demonic energy.
Both men looked extremely solemn and serious, as if facing a formidable enemy, and dared not relax in the slightest.
Just then, Ling Xueyan slowly withdrew her gaze. Her beautiful face was now filled with seriousness as she stared intently at Qin Feng and solemnly said, "Qin Feng, your divine power and physical strength have not yet fully recovered. If you continue to stay here, the situation will only get worse."
"So listen to me, you should leave immediately. I'll handle this alone!"
When Qin Feng heard Ling Xueyan say these words, he was slightly taken aback, a look of surprise on his face, before slowly replying, "This is truly unexpected. I thought you had already left and would never come back."
"But who would have thought that you would not only return, but also be so concerned about my safety?"
However, in response to Qin Feng's words, Ling Xueyan remained indifferent, gave a light snort, and retorted without any politeness: "Stop being so self-absorbed and delusional!"
"The reason I did this is simply because I didn't want to lose such a valuable partner; there is no other reason!"
After saying that, Ling Xueyan raised her voice again and shouted, "Stop dawdling and stop talking nonsense! Time is of the essence, you need to leave now!"
Upon hearing this, Qin Feng turned his head and glanced at the ever-increasing surging demonic energy around them. He saw that this demonic energy was like a rolling tide, constantly sweeping towards the two of them.
Seeing this, Qin Feng knew he could no longer hesitate. So he stopped being coy, took a deep look at Ling Xueyan beside him, and said to her sincerely and briefly, "Take good care of yourself!"
After saying that, Qin Feng turned around without hesitation and sped away like lightning towards the outside of the palace.
Ling Xueyan stood quietly in place, her beautiful eyes fixed on Qin Feng's figure as it gradually disappeared from sight, and she secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Just then, the terrifying demonic energy, like a surging black tide, swept towards her with overwhelming force, and in the blink of an eye, it was already within arm's reach!
Faced with this life-or-death moment, Ling Xueyan dared not be negligent in the slightest. She took a deep breath and then fully mobilized the divine power hidden within her body.
In an instant, it seemed as if endless energy surged from the depths of her body, flowing wildly through her meridians like a rushing river.
Ling Xueyan moved her hands nimbly, her ten fingers flying across the screen as she continuously unleashed a series of mysterious and complex spells.
These incantations intertwined and swirled in the air, quickly condensing into layer upon layer of transparent shields, standing before her like an indestructible city wall.
However, the demonic energy was far too powerful and violent, like a ferocious beast that slammed into the shield.
Several crisp cracking sounds rang out, and jagged cracks began to appear on the shield, spreading at an alarming rate.
As the shield was about to shatter, Ling Xueyan's expression grew increasingly grave, but she remained calm.
At this critical moment, she suddenly flipped her right hand, and a dazzling golden light suddenly shone—a beautiful and exquisite golden mirror appeared in her hand!
The next moment, as if sensing its master's call, the golden mirror suddenly burst forth with an extremely dazzling light.
The light was so intense that it even distorted and deformed the surrounding space.
Immediately afterwards, a vast, sacred, and noble power surged out from the mirror, rushing towards the surging demonic energy like a torrent.
Surprisingly, this holy power successfully resisted the invasion of demonic energy, halting its advance.
Seizing this opportunity, a resolute look flashed in Ling Xueyan's eyes. With a flick of her wrist, she swung her sword out.
Instantly, a terrifying sword aura roared out, carrying unparalleled power, and slashed straight at the approaching demonic energy.
Wherever the sword energy passed, the air was torn apart, producing a sharp and piercing sound.
In just a moment, the originally menacing demonic energy was completely shattered by this overwhelming sword of heaven, and vanished without a trace.
Ling Xueyan knew that the crisis was far from over. The terrifying ancient demon still posed a huge threat and could break through the seal and regain its freedom at any time.
Thinking of this, Ling Xueyan's heart tightened suddenly, and a fine layer of sweat involuntarily seeped out from her forehead.
Without daring to hesitate any longer, she swiftly stored the dazzling golden mirror and the incredibly sharp sword into her storage necklace.
Then, without hesitation, she turned around and dashed out of the palace like lightning.
With a light touch of her toes, she shot off like an arrow.
Ling Xueyan's speed was astonishing; she was like a gust of wind that swept past, and in the blink of an eye, she had already rushed far away.
Her figure left blurry afterimages in the air, making it difficult to catch her true form. In just a few breaths, she had successfully rushed out of the palace.
At this moment, Qin Feng was sitting quietly on an open space not far from the palace.
He crossed his legs, closed his eyes, and gripped a divine source stone tightly in both hands, frantically absorbing it.
Ling Xueyan immediately spotted Qin Feng, who was still there, and her heart skipped a beat. "Why hasn't this guy left yet? Is he really waiting here because he's worried about my safety?"
