Chapter 63 Growth in Adversity

After leaving the Soul Master Academy, Qin Feng and his companions decided to go to the depths of the Soul Beast Forest to find new soul rings to improve their strength. Along the way, they encountered many soul beasts, but with the tacit cooperation of the team and the improvement of their personal strength, these soul beasts did not pose much threat to them. However, as they gradually went deeper into the forest, danger was quietly approaching.

One evening, as the sky gradually darkened, Qin Feng and his companions were resting in an open space. Just as they were preparing to set up camp, a cold wind suddenly blew, mixed with a strong murderous aura. Qin Feng immediately became alert and quickly grasped the Dragon Shadow Sword, while the others also prepared for battle.

A group of soul masters in black robes slowly walked out from the shadows of the trees. Their leader was a middle-aged man with a gloomy face, holding a black staff in his hand. This man was one of the elite members of the Dark Sect, named Heisha, a Soul Douluo-level strongman, holding a mysterious dark magic weapon in his hand.

"You little devils, you really don't know how to live or die. How dare you enter this area!" Heisha's voice was low and carried a chilling chill.

Qin Feng felt the powerful spiritual power fluctuations emanating from Heisha and realized that they had encountered an unprecedentedly powerful enemy. He responded calmly: "No matter what conspiracy you have, we will not back down!"

Before he finished speaking, Heisha had already launched an attack. His martial spirit "Shadow Ghost Hand" instantly turned into countless black shadows, sweeping towards Qin Feng and others. Qin Feng quickly swung his sword, trying to block these black shadows, but found that his spiritual power was rapidly weakened when it came into contact with these shadows.

"What is this?" Qin Feng was secretly surprised.

Heisha sneered and explained: "This is my dark magic weapon, the 'Soul Devouring Compass'. It can absorb the spiritual energy around you, preventing you from exerting your true strength."

As the spiritual power continued to drain, the combat effectiveness of Qin Feng and others dropped significantly, and the situation became increasingly unfavorable. At this moment, Ye Li was hit by a shadow ghost hand and fell to the ground, and the Frost Fox was forced to retreat back to the soul master space. Seeing this, Chu Tian and Zhang Meng immediately rushed to cover Ye Li, but their attacks seemed to pose no threat in front of the black evil.

Heisha pressed on step by step, as if he was sure of victory. He raised his hand and activated the Soul Devouring Compass again, ready to give Qin Feng and the others the final blow. However, at this critical moment, Qin Feng suddenly came up with an idea. He quickly closed his eyes, concentrating all his attention, trying to sense the trace of spiritual power in his body that had not yet been devoured.

"Dragon Shadow Sword, don't let me down!" Qin Feng said silently in his heart, feeling the resonance between the Dragon Shadow Sword and the depths of his soul.

Instantly, a dazzling blue electric light burst out from the Dragon Shadow Sword, as if it had broken free from the restraints of the Soul Devouring Compass. Qin Feng suddenly opened his eyes, and the spiritual power in his body returned at this moment. He tightly grasped the Dragon Shadow Sword and shouted loudly: "Thunder Breaks the Sky!"

As Qin Feng slashed with his sword, a giant dragon of lightning descended from the sky and hit the Soul Devouring Compass in Heisha's hand. The lightning collided with the dark magic weapon, making a deafening explosion. Heisha was knocked back several steps by this powerful force, and cracks appeared on the Soul Devouring Compass in his hand, and the originally powerful suction force gradually dissipated.

"How is this possible!" Heisha was shocked.

Seeing this rare opportunity, Chu Tian immediately ordered the Storm Wolf to attack. The Storm Wolf approached Black Evil at a very fast speed, and the Thunder Claw directly hit his abdomen. Before Black Evil could react, Zhang Meng's Giant Rock Bear also pounced on him and knocked him to the ground.

Heisha struggled to get up, but he was obviously seriously injured. Seeing that the situation was hopeless, he roared, and his body turned into a black mist and quickly disappeared into the shadows of the forest.

The battle was finally over, and Qin Feng breathed a sigh of relief, but when he turned to look at Ye Li, his heart became nervous again. Ye Li was pale and seriously injured. Qin Feng hurried over, helped her up, and summoned the Bright Deer for emergency treatment.

Ye Li's injuries gradually stabilized, but it still took time to recover. Qin Feng discussed with his partners and decided to hide here for a while, and use this time to practice and improve their strength to cope with future challenges.

Qin Feng knew that this battle was just the beginning, and the conspiracy of the Dark Cult was far from over. He tightly grasped the Dragon Shadow Sword, determined to break through himself in the next practice and meet greater challenges.
