Upon hearing the black-robed man's words, Qin Feng's eyes widened, his face filled with disbelief, as if he had misheard. He subconsciously asked, "What did you say?"
The man in black robes seemed to have anticipated Qin Feng's reaction. His voice remained calm as he slowly said, "Because the Primordial Purple Qi has recognized you, and with my current strength, I am no match for you."
Qin Feng was slightly taken aback, and muttered to himself, "So that's how it is..."
After a long while, Qin Feng finally came to his senses. He looked at the man in black robes, hesitated for a moment, and asked, "Can I really leave now?"
His gaze flickered uncertainly. Although the man in black had no reason to lie, his origins were unknown, so he should remain vigilant.
The man in black robes did not answer Qin Feng's question. Instead, his body suddenly began to become ethereal, like smoke being blown away by a gust of wind, gradually dissolving into wisps of black smoke.
The black smoke drifted in the air as if it had no substance, and within a few breaths, it completely disappeared without a trace.
Upon seeing this, Qin Feng's eyes widened in astonishment. He exclaimed, "It's not a physical entity, but an avatar of consciousness!"
Who exactly is this black-robed figure? Why leave behind such a conscious incarnation? Is the original being still alive?
However, although Qin Feng was curious, he had no interest in delving into these questions.
After all, his most important task right now is to get out of this place as soon as possible.
Without further hesitation, he transformed into a streak of light and sped out like lightning, instantly escaping the sealed space.
Qinglan and Lingzhi had been waiting outside the sealed space. When they saw Qin Feng fly out of the sealed space, they went to greet him without prior arrangement.
"Is there really Primordial Purple Qi?" Qinglan asked with a curious expression.
Qin Feng glanced at Qing Lan indifferently, then slowly shook his head and replied firmly, "No! That must just be a lie made up by that demon to save his own life!"
Although Qinglan seems trustworthy based on the various signs observed so far, Qin Feng knows that people's hearts are unpredictable and one must always be wary of others.
Moreover, there was a member of the Spirit Clan beside him—Ling Zhi.
Qinglan opened her mouth, seemingly wanting to question Qin Feng's statement, but at the last moment, she hesitated and swallowed back the words that were about to come out.
Not long ago, a huge upheaval suddenly occurred in the sealed space. The commotion was so great that even she and Lingzhi could clearly perceive it.
It's obvious that this must have been the result of a fierce battle between Qin Feng and some extremely powerful being.
According to Qinglan's speculation, the person who fought Qin Feng was likely the one who guarded the Primordial Purple Qi!
With Qin Feng's terrifying strength, he must have already successfully defeated his opponent and obtained the legendary Primordial Purple Qi.
However, faced with Qin Feng's categorical denial, Qing Lan found it difficult to directly question him.
After all, her current status is merely Qin Feng's maid.
Although Qin Feng did not impose any substantial restrictions on her, his unfathomable strength was undeniable, leaving her no choice but to be cautious.
Let's go!
Qin Feng said something indifferently, then transformed into a stream of light and fled towards the outside of the ruins.
Qinglan and Lingzhi didn't hesitate at all and immediately followed.
...
Just as Qin Feng and his two companions were about to fly out of the ruins, suddenly, the space in front of them seemed to be torn apart, and a huge energy barrier appeared abruptly in front of them, completely blocking their path.
This barrier, like an indestructible city wall, shimmered with an eerie light and exuded a powerful aura that sent chills down one's spine.
Upon seeing this, Qin Feng frowned slightly, inwardly realizing something was wrong.
He originally thought he could leave the ruins smoothly, but he did not expect to encounter such an obstacle at the last moment.
Just as he was about to test the strength of the energy barrier, a blurry figure suddenly appeared on the barrier.
The figure looked somewhat illusory, as if it didn't actually exist, but its powerful aura was impossible to ignore.
The figure said coldly, "You think you can just take the Primordial Purple Qi and leave like that? Not so easy."
His voice was cold and devoid of any emotion.
Upon hearing this, Qinglan looked at Qin Feng with a flickering gaze, thinking to herself, "It seems this guy really did obtain the Primordial Purple Qi?"
Lingzhi watched the figure warily, her hands secretly clenching into a magic seal, just in case.
Qin Feng snorted coldly and retorted without backing down, "I didn't obtain any Primordial Purple Qi at all!"
However, the figure seemed completely unconcerned about Qin Feng's denial, and just laughed disdainfully: "You think your denial will work? I can hear everything happening in the entire ruins."
Before the words were even finished, the figure flicked his sleeve, and beams of energy shot towards them like meteors.
Seeing this, Qin Feng made a quick decision, forming hand seals. In an instant, a transparent shield rose up in front of them, protecting him, Qinglan, and Lingzhi.
The energy beams slammed into the shield, producing deafening roars.
The shield trembled violently, as if it might shatter at any moment.
"Such formidable strength!"
Qin Feng sighed, then sneered, "However, your strength is no match for mine!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Feng threw a punch and easily shattered the energy ray.
Immediately afterwards, he flashed towards the figure on the barrier and threw a simple and brutal punch.
"boom"
Qin Feng's fist landed on the barrier, shattering it instantly, and the figure vanished without a trace.
Seeing this, Qin Feng muttered in surprise, "It's just a projection!"
"Heh, I wonder which covetous rat coveted the Primordial Purple Qi, yet dared not descend in its true form!"
Qin Feng then scanned the area, finding nothing, and sneered, "You coward! The Primordial Purple Qi is on me, so come out and try to steal it if you dare!"
However, the man did not respond at all to Qin Feng's mockery and provocation!
Qin Feng waited for a while but found nothing unusual. He frowned and muttered to himself, "Could it be that it's scared and doesn't dare to come out?"
"Forget it, he's just a coward, no need to bother with him!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Feng transformed into a streak of light and escaped from the ruins.
Qinglan and Lingzhi immediately followed.
After Qin Feng and his two companions had gone far away, a figure surrounded by black mist appeared out of thin air near the spot where they had just been.
If Qin Feng and his two companions were to see this person here, they would be extremely shocked, because this person is actually—Ling Ke!
