God Slayer: Make Up for the Past

Chu Feng clutched his aching chest and struggled to his feet. The monster roared deafeningly, and the stench of the creature's flesh hit him, nearly making him sick. But he fought back the discomfort, his gaze fixed on the fleeing Murong Xue. Her actions, and the trembling "I'm sorry," pierced his heart like a sharp thorn.

"Who is she...?" Chu Feng muttered to himself, his heart filled with doubts. Murong Xue's appearances were always accompanied by various strange events, and the look she gave him was so complex that it was difficult to interpret.

"Don't chase me," Night Watch Overseer Li grabbed him. "The most important thing now is to get rid of this monster!" His tone was stern, with a hint of unquestionable majesty. "Your current performance is truly disappointing."

Chu Feng took a deep breath, suppressing his doubts and annoyance. He knew that Night Watch Overseer Li had always harbored a grudge against him, believing his inexperience made him unfit for this mission. He had to prove himself, not only to complete the mission, but also for the people who trembled in fear under the monster's shadow.

Just then, the communicator rang. It was the family of the missing Zhou calling.

"Night Watchman Chu, have you found my son? It's been so long, and there's still no news!" The family member's voice was sharp and anxious, with a clear accusation. "What on earth are you Night Watchmen doing?"

Chu Feng clenched his fists, trying to suppress his inner irritation. "We are doing our best to search. Please be patient," he said, trying to keep his tone calm. "We will definitely find your son."

After hanging up the communicator, Chu Feng felt a wave of weakness. He understood the family's feelings, but the current situation was indeed difficult. This monster was more powerful than any he had encountered before, and it seemed to have a special reaction to Murong Xue, which made him even more certain that Murong Xue was hiding a huge secret.

The monster roared again and lunged at Chu Feng. Chu Feng dodged the attack, but his eyes never left the direction where Murong Xue had disappeared. He noticed that although the monster was ferocious, its attack methods seemed somewhat monotonous, and each attack was preceded by a clear sign.

"Wait..." A thought flashed through Chu Feng's mind. He recalled what he had learned at the Night Watch Academy. Although some powerful monsters were incredibly powerful, they often had some weaknesses due to their own characteristics.

He dodged the monster's attack again, a glint of brilliance flashing in his eyes. This time, he didn't choose to engage it head-on. Instead, he used the monster's momentum to guide it into a massive stone pillar nearby...

"What are you doing?!" Seeing this, Night Watch Supervisor Li couldn't help but exclaimed.

Chu Feng ignored him and stared intently at the monster and the stone pillar. Just as the monster was about to collide with the stone pillar, he exerted force and thrust the dagger in his hand fiercely into the ground...

"boom--"

With a loud bang, the stone pillar collapsed...

The stone pillar collapsed with a thunderous thud, stirring up a cloud of dust. Huge rocks smashed into the monster with a dull thud. The monster roared in pain, its massive body swaying a few times before being crushed to its knees.

Night Watch Supervisor Li stared at the scene with his eyes wide open in disbelief. He had originally thought that Chu Feng's reckless behavior would put him in greater danger, but he didn't expect to accidentally find the monster's weakness.

When the dust settled, Chu Feng slowly emerged from the smoke. His face was pale, his breathing rapid, but his eyes were remarkably determined. He noticed that although the monster had been struck by the stone pillar, it had not suffered fatal damage and was struggling to stand up.

"Its weak point is its head," Chu Feng said solemnly, "Only by attacking its head can we cause effective damage to it."

Although Night Watch Supervisor Li was still full of doubts, he had to admit that Chu Feng's judgment was correct. He gripped his weapon tightly and prepared to step forward to support.

At this moment, a figure suddenly rushed over from a distance. It was Murong Xue.

She rushed towards the monster desperately, her eyes full of anxiety and worry.

"Be careful!" Chu Feng shouted loudly.

Murong Xue seemed not to hear his warning. She rushed straight to the monster, stretched out her hand and gently stroked the monster's hideous face.

"What are you doing?!" Night Watch Supervisor Li exclaimed.

Murong Xue's movements were gentle and slow, as if she was comforting a wounded child. The monster also became surprisingly quiet, allowing her to caress it.

Chu Feng had a bad feeling in his heart. He noticed Murong Xue's lips moving slightly, as if she was whispering something. However, due to the distance, he couldn't hear what she was saying.

Suddenly, the monster's eyes glowed red again, and it let out a deafening roar. It swung its giant claws violently, knocking Murong Xue to the ground.

"Murong Xue!" Chu Feng exclaimed and wanted to rush over to save her.

But the monster was too fast and it pounced on Chu Feng again. Chu Feng had to give up rescuing Murong Xue and instead dodge the monster's attack.

"Pan Yue, look at what Murong Xue is doing!" Chu Feng shouted while dodging the monster's attack.

Pan Yue had been observing Murong Xue's actions. He noticed that as she caressed the monster, a rune on her wrist was flickering with a strange light. He had never seen this rune before, but he had a vague feeling that it was related to the monster's ferocity.

"Chu Feng, there's a strange rune on her wrist that keeps flashing!" Pan Yue shouted, "I think this rune is related to the monster!"

A flash of inspiration struck Chu Feng's mind. He recalled the knowledge he had learned about runes at the Night Watch Academy. Some special runes could be used to control or influence the behavior of certain creatures.

"Attack the part of the monster corresponding to that rune!" Chu Feng shouted loudly.

He dodged the monster's attack again, then jumped up suddenly and stabbed the dagger in his hand at a specific spot on the monster's chest.

That position was exactly where the rune on Murong Xue's wrist flashed and the monster's body also glowed slightly.

The dagger pierced the monster's body, and it let out a shrill scream. Its body trembled violently, and its attacks became chaotic and disorganized.

"Now!" Chu Feng shouted.

He swung the dagger again and stabbed it fiercely at the monster's head...

"Stop!" A cold voice suddenly sounded.

The dagger was about to pierce the monster's head. At the critical moment, Murong Xue's voice pierced the noisy battlefield like an ice cone: "Stop!"

Chu Feng, startled, abruptly halted his attack, his dagger stopping just an inch from the monster's head. The monster seized the opportunity, slashing with its massive claws. Chu Feng barely dodged, tumbling awkwardly to the side. He looked up at Murong Xue, a mixture of confusion and disappointment in his eyes. Murong Xue met his gaze, a flicker of guilt crossing hers, but she quickly turned away, her lips tightly pursed.

Murong Xue's previous actions had intensified the monster's frenzy, its attack speed and power increasing dramatically. It roared, its claws lashing out, each lashing out with a shriek that tore through the air. Chu Feng and Night Watchman Overseer Li were forced to join forces, but danger still lingered.

"What the hell is Murong Xue doing?" Night Watchman Overseer Li roared as he blocked the monster's attack. "Is she helping the monster?"

Chu Feng didn't answer. He stared at Murong Xue, trying to find the answer from her expression and actions. He believed that Murong Xue wouldn't do such a thing for no reason. There must be some hidden reason behind it.

"Pan Yue, look at what Murong Xue is doing! Watch carefully!" Chu Feng shouted to Pan Yue while dodging the monster's attack.

Pan Yue had been keeping a close eye on Murong Xue and noticed a strange rune on her wrist, gleaming with an eerie light. He had never seen this rune before, but he had a vague feeling it was related to the monster's ferocity.

A flash of inspiration struck Chu Feng. He recalled the knowledge he had learned about runes at Night Watch Academy. Some special runes could be used to control or influence the behavior of certain creatures. Could the rune on Murong Xue's wrist be the key to controlling monsters?

"Attack the part of the monster corresponding to that rune!" Chu Feng shouted, and at the same time dodged the monster's attack again. The dagger in his hand flashed a cold light and stabbed towards a specific position on the monster's chest.

That spot was exactly where the rune on Murong Xue's wrist flickered, and the monster's body also glowed faintly. The dagger pierced the monster's body with precision, and the monster let out a shrill cry. Its body trembled violently, and its attacks became chaotic and disorganized, as if it had lost control.

"Now!" Chu Feng shouted, preparing to attack again.

However, the runes on Murong Xue's wrist flashed even more intensely, and the monster roared again, its body expanding once more, its power surging. Chu Feng realized that while the previous attack was effective, it hadn't completely solved the problem.

The runes on Murong Xue's body flickered continuously. Chu Feng wanted to get closer to investigate, but was blocked by the monster's frantic attacks. He stared at Murong Xue and the runes, thinking about how to break through this dilemma... "I must find a way to get closer to her..." Chu Feng whispered to himself, his eyes fixed on the constantly flickering runes on Murong Xue's wrist.
