God Slayer: Make Up for the Past

The giant beast fell to the ground with a loud bang, raising a cloud of dust.

The smell of gunpowder filled the air, mixing with the smell of engine oil to form a pungent odor.

Chu Feng leaned on his sword and managed to stand steadily, feeling waves of pain in his chest.

Su Yao supported him worriedly, her fingers gently touching his bloodstained clothes, her eyes red.

"Chu Feng, are you okay?"

He shook his head and forced a smile, "It's okay, just a minor injury." However, his face couldn't hide the paleness.

The commander's expression darkened, his earlier joy completely vanishing. "Not good! The energy fluctuations are still continuing..."

"Is it still going on?" Pan Yue frowned and looked around, trying to find the source of the fluctuation.

At this moment, several small mechanical spiders crawled out from the ruins, flashing abnormal red light and approaching them quickly.

"Be careful! These are also infected!" Chu Feng shouted and protected Su Yao behind him.

The mechanical spider was extremely fast, and its sharp claws swung, making a harsh metal friction sound.

Chu Feng swung his sword to block, but because he was exhausted, his movements were much slower.

A mechanical spider took the opportunity to pounce on Su Yao. Chu Feng pushed her away, but his arm was scratched by the spider's sharp claws.

"Chu Feng!" Su Yao exclaimed.

Pan Yue acted quickly, his spiritual energy transformed into a sharp blade, and chopped several mechanical spiders into pieces.

"We have to find the source as soon as possible, otherwise these things will never end!"

Chu Feng took a deep breath, enduring the pain, and said, "Commander, you are most familiar with the structure of the fortress. Where is the most likely place to hide the energy source?"

The commander pointed in a direction deep within the fortress. "That's the backup energy center. It's not normally activated..."

They moved towards the energy center and were constantly attacked by infected mechanical creatures along the way.

In order to protect Su Yao, Chu Feng suffered several more wounds on his body.

Su Yao looked at Chu Feng who was getting weaker and weaker, and her heart was filled with self-blame and worry.

"Chu Feng, leave me alone, just go..."

"What nonsense!" Chu Feng forced himself to cheer up, "I promised to protect you, and I will definitely do it."

Finally, they arrived at the backup energy center. The door was closed, and unstable energy fluctuations came from inside.

"It's here!" The commander immediately ordered the soldiers to break down the gate.

The door burst open, a powerful wave of energy washed over them. A massive spherical device hovered in the center, flashing an eerie red light... A cold voice echoed in the air, "Really... you're so persistent..."

The red light emitted by the spherical device pulsated like breathing, strange and unsettling.

The cold voice that filled the air seemed to come from inside the device, echoing in the energy center with a hint of mockery.

"You're so persistent..."

Chu Feng's heart trembled, and the hint given by the mysterious researcher Zhou before emerged in his mind: "The source... the contaminated energy... the ancient runes..." He glanced at the spherical device, and sure enough, he found those complicated dark red runes on the surface of the device, spreading like blood vessels.

It is these runes that exude an evil aura and pollute the energy system of the entire fortress.

"It's really here!" Chu Feng shouted softly, condensing spiritual energy in his hands, and began to try to repair the contaminated runes according to the method taught by the mysterious researcher Zhou.

Su Yao and Pan Yue looked at him nervously, and the air was filled with suffocating pressure.

As Chu Feng repaired the spherical device, the red light gradually weakened and the unstable energy fluctuations began to subside.

A hint of joy finally showed on the commander's tense face, and the soldiers also breathed a sigh of relief and cheered softly.

The lights in the fort flickered a few times before finally returning to their normal brightness, announcing that the crisis was over.

"Success!" Su Yao exclaimed happily with a bright smile on her face.

However, just as everyone was cheering, a sinister laugh broke the brief silence. "Heh... Do you think this is the end?"

Engineer Chen appeared in front of everyone again, his eyes flashing scarlet light, with a twisted smile on his face, and his whole body exuding a creepy aura.

His clothes were tattered, and his exposed skin was covered with strange dark red lines, like reptiles, which was disgusting.

"This...how is this possible?" The commander looked at Engineer Chen in disbelief. He had clearly already controlled him.

Engineer Chen stretched out his hands, and black energy danced at his fingertips, making crackling sounds.

"It's over? The game has just begun!" He rushed towards Chu Feng at an astonishing speed, like a black lightning, with his sharp claws going straight for Chu Feng's throat.

"Chu Feng! Be careful!" Su Yao exclaimed.

Chu Feng and Pan Yue's faces changed and they immediately took fighting stances.

Pan Yue growled, "I'll cover you, you look for an opportunity!" His psychic energy formed a barrier in front of Chu Feng. At the same time, several sharp psychic blades shot towards Engineer Chen.

Chu Feng's eyes narrowed. He knew that the real battle had just begun... He took a deep breath, the long sword in his hand hummed, and the sword pointed directly at Engineer Chen, saying word by word: "Then... come on!"

Engineer Chen's sharp claws tore through the air and attacked Chu Feng with a shrill scream.

Chu Feng dodged sideways, and the long sword in his hand flashed a silver light and pierced Engineer Chen's chest.

However, Engineer Chen's body twisted strangely, as if he had no bones, and he easily avoided Chu Feng's attack.

Pan Yue seized the opportunity and attacked from the side.

The psychic blade was like a sharp blade, cutting into Engineer Chen's body, bringing up several black blood mists.

However, these wounds healed at a speed visible to the naked eye, as if only a thin film had been cut.

"It's useless!" Engineer Chen laughed shrilly, and black energy surged through his body, forming a protective shield to block the attacks of Chu Feng and Pan Yue.

"Your power is nothing to me!"

Chu Feng and Pan Yue exchanged a glance, both realizing that ordinary attacks wouldn't work against Engineer Chen. They needed to find his weakness to completely defeat him.

"Chu Feng, his source of energy!" Pan Yue reminded Chu Feng while resisting Engineer Chen's attack.

Chu Feng's eyes focused, and he noticed the dark red lines on Engineer Chen's body. Those lines were like breathing, flashing with strange light.

He remembered what the mysterious researcher Zhou had said, that these lines were the carriers of evil energy.

"Pan Yue, cover me!" Chu Feng shouted softly, and the long sword in his hand condensed powerful spiritual energy, and the sword body emitted a dazzling light.

Pan Yue understood what he meant and increased the intensity of his attack to attract Engineer Chen's attention.

Chu Feng seized the opportunity, flashed around, and went behind Engineer Chen, stabbing the dark red lines on his back with the sword in his hand.

"Ah!" Engineer Chen let out a scream, and the black energy on his body quickly dissipated like a deflated ball.

The dark red lines gradually dimmed and eventually disappeared.

Engineer Chen's body fell limply to the ground, and the scarlet light in his eyes disappeared, and he regained clarity.

He looked around blankly, as if he didn't understand what was happening.

"It's over." Chu Feng put away his sword and breathed a sigh of relief.

Seeing that Chu Feng was safe and sound, Su Yao threw herself into his arms excitedly, tears blurring her eyes. "Chu Feng, I'm so glad you're okay!"

Chu Feng hugged Su Yao tightly, feeling her warm body temperature, his heart filled with tenderness.

The soldiers around also breathed a sigh of relief, with relieved smiles on their faces.

The commander walked forward and patted Chu Feng on the shoulder, his eyes full of gratitude.

The crisis was resolved and the fortress returned to its former tranquility.

However, Chu Feng and Pan Yue were full of doubts.

How was Engineer Chen controlled by the evil spirit?

Who is the mastermind behind this?

Where will the relationship between them go?

These questions shrouded their hearts like a fog, waiting for them to solve.

Will they leave the fortress and continue their adventure?

This remains an unknown.
