“It’s absolutely impossible for it to be an illusion!” Ling Xueyan said firmly.
Upon hearing this, Qing Jie frowned slightly and pondered thoughtfully.
After a moment, he slowly said, "I did sense the aura of that mysterious woman just now. Although it was only fleeting, the feeling was exceptionally clear."
His gaze was deep and solemn, as if he were recalling the strange fluctuations he had just felt.
At this moment, Jin Xiaoman also nodded in agreement, saying, "That's right, I sensed it too! Moreover, that aura felt very strange to me, as if it came from the underworld, which was terrifying."
Qin Feng looked completely bewildered and was stunned.
He couldn't sense the mysterious woman's presence at all!
How is that possible?
It should be noted that with his current strength, he has already far surpassed Ling Xueyan, Qing Jie, and Jin Xiaoman.
Logically speaking, he should be able to detect any changes in his surroundings earlier and more keenly than others.
Ling Xueyan noticed the astonished expression on Qin Feng's face, and a sense of doubt arose in her heart.
She furrowed her slender, willow-leaf-like eyebrows slightly and asked, "You really didn't sense anything?"
His words carried a hint of disbelief.
Qin Feng snapped out of his daze, shook his head with a wry smile, and sighed helplessly, "I really didn't feel anything at all..."
His eyes were filled with confusion and bewilderment; he simply couldn't understand why he was so different from others.
"Could it be that the mysterious woman is deliberately targeting the three of us?" Qing Jie suddenly raised this bold guess.
"But what exactly is her purpose in doing this?" Jin Xiaoman pressed on.
Qin Feng narrowed his eyes slightly, silently contemplating the current situation.
Time seemed to stand still. After a long while, he slowly spoke, "Regardless of her true purpose, we must be extra careful in our actions from now on."
Ling Xueyan, Qing Jie, and Jin Xiaoman all nodded in agreement.
Immediately afterwards, the three people and the skeleton did not delay any longer and continued walking forward.
However, before they had gone very far, their surroundings suddenly changed drastically.
The once calm and windless air suddenly became restless, with a howling wind sweeping in, carrying sand and gravel flying everywhere.
Amidst this chaotic scene, the illusory figure of the mysterious woman reappeared quietly once more.
She stood gracefully, her face as cold as frost, and said in a voice devoid of any emotion, "Don't be so naive as to think that you can rest easy just by eliminating those insignificant beings who are like ants."
Upon hearing this, Qin Feng raised an eyebrow, a contemptuous smile appearing on his lips, and retorted without any politeness, "Hmph! A cowardly coward!"
"Since you have the guts to show yourself and provoke me, then stand up and confront me head-on. Why do you always have to jump out like a rat and get in my way?"
The woman seemed oblivious to Qin Feng's mockery, continuing to wave her arms as if nothing had happened.
As she moved, the dense demonic energy around them began to surge wildly, quickly coalescing into ferocious demonic beasts of various shapes, baring their fangs and claws as they pounced on the group.
"Hmph, what an utterly boring trick!"
Qin Feng snorted disdainfully and sped off ahead like lightning.
With astonishing speed, he rapidly formed hand seals, and the surging divine power within his body burst forth like a flood, instantly transforming into countless sharp and dazzling beams of light.
The light was like a sword drawn from its sheath, carrying an invincible force, and instantly pierced through several ferocious, charging monsters.
The monsters howled and fell to the ground, their bodies turning into wisps of black smoke and dissipating into the air.
At the same time, Ling Xueyan, Qing Jie, and Jin Xiaoman, who were following behind Qin Feng, were not to be outdone.
Ling Xueyan gave a light shout, and her long sword moved so fast that it was impenetrable. The sword shadows were numerous, and each sword contained powerful sword energy. Wherever it passed, the demonic beasts were cut in two.
Qing Jie then unleashed a series of powerful palm strikes, which whistled as they smashed into the demonic beasts, turning them into meat patties.
Jin Xiaoman took out countless golden runes from her storage ring and surrounded herself with them. These runes seemed to have a spirit and automatically flew towards the magical beast. Once they touched the magical beast's body, they would cause a violent explosion.
However, despite their extraordinary strength, the demonic beasts formed from demonic energy before them seemed to be endless and inexhaustible.
We had just killed one batch when, in the blink of an eye, even more monsters surged up from all directions, overwhelming us.
Qin Feng remained calm and continued his attacks without stopping, unleashing another powerful strike. In the blink of an eye, he had easily killed more than a hundred magical beasts.
However, facing such a large and fearless enemy, he gradually found it somewhat difficult to deal with.
At this moment, Qin Feng suddenly stopped what he was doing, turned his head to look at the mysterious woman in the distance who had been controlling these magical beasts, his eyes were as cold as ice, and he spoke indifferently.
"It seems that if I want to get rid of you completely, I have no choice but to find out where you are!"
After Qin Feng finished speaking, he slowly closed his eyes, as if he had entered a state of ethereal tranquility.
His breathing became steady and long, and his spiritual power, like an invisible torrent, flowed continuously from between his eyebrows, spreading outwards.
These spiritual energies quickly coalesced into a dense net, cautiously penetrating the layers of demonic energy and various deceptive illusions.
Every step forward required immense effort, but Qin Feng did not back down and focused intently on his exploration.
Just then, a faint, peculiar aura suddenly entered Qin Feng's perception range.
This wisp of energy was faint and elusive, as if it might dissipate at any moment, yet it possessed a unique rhythm that made it impossible to ignore.
Qin Feng's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately pinpointed the source of the aura—it was located in the place where the demonic energy was most concentrated!
"Found it!"
Qin Feng suddenly opened his eyes, and two beams of light shot out from them.
Immediately afterwards, his figure blurred, instantly transforming into a dazzling streak of light, and sped off in that direction at an astonishing speed.
The mysterious woman had been closely watching Qin Feng's every move. When she saw that Qin Feng had found her true form so easily, her expression changed slightly.
She bit her lip lightly, her hands forming a series of hand seals, trying to summon more magical beasts to stop Qin Feng.
However, before she could make a move, Ling Xueyan, Qing Jie, and Jin Xiaoman had already made their move in unison.
Ling Xueyan brandished her longsword, its light blazing brightly, forming sharp sword energies that slashed down the surging demonic beasts.
Qing Jie then formed hand seals and chanted incantations, unleashing a powerful spell that trapped a large group of demonic beasts in place.
Jin Xiaoman was even more valiant. A giant axe had appeared in his hand at some point, and he swung it with great force and ferocity.
Seeing this, the mysterious woman knew she could no longer stop Qin Feng, so she focused on controlling the horde of monsters to continue attacking Ling Xueyan, Qing Jie, and Jin Xiaoman.
