"Kill us?"
One of the mummies let out a harsh, grating laugh. "You think you can defeat mere trash with no cultivation and no strength? You're dreaming!"
Qin Feng frowned slightly, but didn't say anything more. Instead, he flashed forward like a ghost and pounced on the two mummified corpses.
In the illusion of inner demons, the only thing that can pose a threat to him is when his mental defenses are breached.
As long as his mind is unbreakable and not disturbed or influenced by the outside world, then it will be difficult for his inner demons to cause him any real harm.
Qin Feng moved with lightning speed, arriving in front of one of the mummified corpses in the blink of an eye, and delivered a powerful punch to it.
Just then, the mummified corpse that had been hit suddenly let out a terrified scream: "You... how could you have hit me? This is impossible!"
Qin Feng's lips curled into a disdainful sneer: "Nothing is impossible. Because I firmly believe that I can do it. As long as my belief is strong enough, even if I'm facing just an illusory shadow, I can still hit it!"
No sooner had Qin Feng finished speaking than a loud "bang" was heard. The mummified corpse exploded in an instant, turning into a thick cloud of black mist and vanishing without a trace.
Upon seeing this, the other mummified corpse was filled with shock and anger, and roared in disbelief, "This... how is this possible? This is absolutely impossible!"
"What's impossible?" Qin Feng snorted coldly and swung his fist at his opponent again.
The remaining mummified corpses were also struck by Qin Feng's fist, instantly exploding into a cloud of black mist and dissipating.
"The illusion of inner demons should be broken by now, right?"
Qin Feng frowned deeply, his eyes flickering as he carefully observed his surroundings.
Time passed second by second, but there was still no movement around, as if the scene had been frozen in time.
Seeing this, Qin Feng's tense nerves gradually relaxed, but his expression grew increasingly grim. "What exactly happened?"
He muttered to himself, "Could those two mummified corpses not have been conjured by inner demons? But if not, where did they come from?"
Just as Qin Feng was racking his brains trying to figure it out, the surrounding environment suddenly changed dramatically—the originally bright space instantly plunged into endless darkness, as if a giant black hand had blocked out all the light.
Qin Feng's heart tightened, and he immediately became more alert, widening his eyes to look around and try to see the situation clearly.
However, at this moment, everything in front of him was pitch black, and he could not distinguish any objects at all.
"Hehehe..."
Suddenly, a sharp, piercing, eerie, and terrifying laugh echoed in Qin Feng's ears.
This sudden turn of events made Qin Feng's hair stand on end, a chill ran down his spine, and he couldn't help but shiver.
"Get out here!" Qin Feng suppressed his fear and shouted angrily.
His voice sounded particularly loud in the silent darkness, carrying a hint of authority and anger.
Before the words were finished, a chilling voice drifted over: "Heh heh... Qin Feng, are you so certain that everything you saw and heard before was an illusion?"
"Have you never considered the possibility that these things might actually be true?"
The voice was as cold and chilling as if it came from the deepest hell, sending shivers down one's spine.
Qin Feng snorted coldly, a hint of disdain flashing in his eyes: "So what if it's true? So what if it's false?"
He clenched his fists tightly and said in an icy voice, "All I know is that if I want to escape from here, I have to kill you!"
Before he could finish speaking, a figure suddenly appeared directly in front of Qin Feng.
This person's build was identical to Qin Feng's, only their clothing was slightly different. The inner demon let out a strange laugh: "Heh heh... Qin Feng, you are truly utterly foolish!"
He stared at Qin Feng with a half-smile and asked, "Do you know what a demon in the heart is?"
Qin Feng frowned, his expression shifting between light and shadow, as he asked himself, "Yes, what is an inner demon?"
At this moment, the inner demon let out another cold laugh: "The so-called inner demon is something born from the evil thoughts deep in the human heart!"
He stared intently at Qin Feng and continued to press, "Do you dare say that you have no evil thoughts in your heart?"
"If you had no evil intentions whatsoever, how could you have come here?"
"If your heart is free of evil, how could you fall into this illusion of inner demons?"
"Let alone meeting me here?"
"You should understand that I am actually the evil side of your heart."
Qin Feng's face was clouded with gloom, as if shrouded in mist.
Even a powerful figure like the Primordial Saint Emperor cannot guarantee that his heart is free of evil thoughts.
When evil thoughts arise in one's heart, inner demons will naturally emerge!
The so-called inner demon illusion is nothing more than a phantom fabricated by one's own inner demons to deceive oneself.
If one can remain clear-headed and not be misled, the illusions of inner demons will naturally crumble on their own.
However, once misled, one may be killed by inner demons, and one's body may also be possessed by inner demons.
Although the body is not dead, the soul no longer exists.
Thinking of this, Qin Feng looked at his inner demon and calmly said, "So what if you are an inner demon born from my evil thoughts?"
"You can't do anything to me!"
"You should know that Lu Yunxi can no longer disturb my state of mind!"
The inner demon let out a cold laugh: "Who said that?"
"I can tell you definitively that everything you saw and heard before was true!"
Even if you don't believe it now, the seed of doubt has already been planted deep in your heart.
"As long as this seed remains, even if you kill me now, you will not be able to escape my clutches!"
"I will return at some crucial moment in the future."
Qin Feng's face was ashen. Undeniably, what the inner demon said was true and not an exaggeration at all.
Although he firmly believed that what he had witnessed and heard was all an illusion, a sliver of doubt still lingered deep within him. The more troublesome problem was that once doubt arose, it was very difficult to dispel it.
As long as that lingering doubt remains in your heart, the inner demon will never dissipate; it will follow you like a shadow and never leave you.
Qin Feng took a deep breath, his eyes flashing with a cold light, and stared intently at the inner demon in front of him.
Now is not the time to think about these things. The most crucial task at present is to defeat our inner demons and break free from the shackles of their illusions.
Otherwise, if the delay continues, unforeseen events are bound to occur, only adding to the trouble.
Qin Feng instantly banished all distracting thoughts and pounced on his inner demon like lightning.
He didn't use any fancy moves; he just threw a punch straight at you.
For some unknown reason, the inner demon did not dodge and was hit by Qin Feng's punch.
