God Slayer: Make Up for the Past

The tremendous roar echoed through the mountains behind, rustling the leaves. Chu Feng and Pan Yue cautiously advanced toward the source of the sound. The surrounding darkness seemed like countless eyes watching them. Pan Yue whispered, "Be careful, Chu Feng! I have a feeling this thing is something special." Chu Feng clenched his dagger, nodded, and replied, "Yes, I feel it too. This evil aura is more powerful than any we've encountered before."

They pushed aside the dense undergrowth and a clearing appeared before them. In the center, a twisted figure growled and growled, and the surrounding trees seemed to tremble in fear. The figure was shrouded in darkness, and its exact form could not be seen, but the sickening evil aura was clear.

"It's an evil spirit!" Chu Feng whispered, tightening his grip on the dagger. Pan Yue also looked solemn, a ball of green energy condensing in his hand. "Prepare for battle!"

Just then, a slightly sarcastic voice came from behind them: "What are you doing here?! Who allowed you to enter the back mountain?!"

Chu Feng turned around and saw Principal Guo standing there with an angry face, followed by several trembling students. Seeing Chu Feng insist on entering the back hill, Principal Guo became even more furious and shouted, "You are disrupting the order of the campus! If anything goes wrong, you will all be held responsible! Especially you, Chu Feng! You are always causing trouble!"

Chu Feng frowned. He knew that Principal Guo had always disliked them, the night watchmen, believing they were alarmist and disturbing the peace of the school. But he didn't have time to explain to Principal Guo now. The evil spirit was right in front of him, and he had to get rid of it as soon as possible.

"Principal, it's very dangerous here. Please take the students away from here first!" Chu Feng said hurriedly.

"Leave? Why should I leave? This is the school, and I am the person in charge here! You students don't study hard, and all you do is do these weird things all day long!" Principal Guo had no idea that danger was approaching, but instead reprimanded Chu Feng even more harshly.

After hearing the principal's words, some students stood up to speak for Chu Feng. "Principal, Chu Feng and his men went into the back mountain to protect us!" "Yes, Principal, we believe in Chu Feng!" These voices warmed Chu Feng's heart, but he knew now was not the time to be moved.

At this moment, the evil spirit suddenly let out a piercing scream, and the surrounding trees seemed to tremble. Then, it suddenly pounced towards Chu Feng and Pan Yue.

"Be careful!" Pan Yue shouted, and the energy gathered in his hands transformed into a green vine, wrapping around the evil spirit. Chu Feng also rushed forward without hesitation, and the dagger flashed with a cold light, piercing the evil spirit's vitals.

The evil spirit was incredibly fast, easily dodging Pan Yue's attack and slapping Chu Feng with one claw. Chu Feng quickly dodged, but was still scratched on the arm by the evil spirit's claw. Chu Feng gritted his teeth, refusing to utter a single groan as he felt a sharp pain.

He looked up at the evil spirit, his eyes filled with determination. "Pan Yue, let's attack together!"

Pan Yue nodded, and once again gathered energy in his hands. This time, he injected it into the surrounding trees. The trees seemed to come alive, their branches growing wildly, entwining themselves around the evil spirit… A strange smile flashed across the darkness.

The branches of the tree entangled the evil spirit like a python, restricting its movement. Chu Feng seized the opportunity and rushed forward again. The dagger, with a sharp cold light, pierced the evil spirit's chest. The evil spirit let out a painful roar, and black energy surged around it, trying to break free.

"It's useless!" Chu Feng roared, pouring all his strength into the dagger. The dagger pierced the evil spirit's chest, and a powerful energy burst out, knocking the evil spirit back several steps.

Seeing Chu Feng's heroic performance, some students cheered him on. "Chu Feng, keep going!" "Defeat the evil spirit!" Their voices were filled with trust and hope, which warmed Chu Feng's heart and gave him a surge of strength. He felt a sense of responsibility: he had to protect those who believed in him.

However, just when Chu Feng thought victory was assured, something unexpected happened. The evil spirit's body erupted in black energy, and with a deafening roar, it unexpectedly broke the branches wrapped around it. It suddenly raised its head, and its blood-red eyes stared at Chu Feng intently, filled with resentment and murderous intent.

Suddenly, the black aura dissipated, and a man in a black robe appeared before them. He had a pale yet handsome face, with a strange smile on his lips. It was He Xieling!

"You're really overestimating yourself. A few mere apprentice Night Watchmen dare to challenge my authority?" He Xieling's voice was filled with disdain and ridicule. "Do you think you can stop me like this? How ridiculous!"

His gaze swept across Chu Feng and Pan Yue, finally landing on Principal Guo. "And you, Principal Guo, as the head of a school, you actually allowed these students to act recklessly. You're truly derelict in your duty!"

Principal Guo was so frightened that his face turned pale and he couldn't utter a word. He never imagined that this seemingly gentle man was actually the legendary evil spirit!

"You nosy fellows are ruining my plans!" He Xieling continued. "I just wanted to quietly complete my work, but you had to disturb me. In that case, don't blame me for being rude!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a powerful pressure emanated from him, making it difficult for everyone to breathe. Chu Feng and Pan Yue felt as if a huge rock was pressing on their chests, making it difficult to even breathe.

"Pan Yue, be careful!" Chu Feng squeezed out a few words with difficulty.

Pan Yue nodded solemnly, he knew that they had encountered an unprecedentedly powerful enemy.

He Xieling sneered, and in a flash, he appeared in front of Chu Feng. He stretched out his right hand, grabbed Chu Feng's neck, and lifted him up.

"Let's start with you!" He Xieling's voice was cold and ruthless.

Chu Feng's breathing became increasingly difficult, and his vision began to darken. He felt his life slipping away. Was this the end?

At this critical moment, Pan Yue suddenly noticed a flaw in He Xieling's words. "Complete your task quietly? What is your plan? Why do you want to do it in school?"

He Xieling paused for a moment, a subtle flash of panic in his eyes. He hadn't expected that, under such circumstances, Pan Yue could remain calm and spot the flaw in his words.

He glanced at Pan Yue coldly and said, "Don't ask questions you shouldn't ask! All you need to know is that you all must die!"

After saying that, he exerted force on his hands, and Chu Feng's breathing completely stopped. Pan Yue's heart sank. He knew that Chu Feng had...

"The ancient formation in the back mountain..." Pan Yue muttered to himself, as if a thought had suddenly occurred to him. He Xieling's grip intensified, and Chu Feng's face turned purple, and he was on the verge of suffocation. Pan Yue was anxious, his mind racing. Quietly...back mountain...formation...these fragments of words collided in his mind, piecing together a disturbing truth. There was indeed an ancient formation in the back mountain, said to be used to suppress some kind of evil force. Could it be...

"You are using the ancient formation in the back mountain, right?" Pan Yue's voice was trembling, but with a hint of certainty.

He Xieling paused, a flicker of surprise in his eyes, then a deeper venomous look. "You're very smart, but unfortunately, you know too much!"

He flung Chu Feng aside, like a broken toy. Chu Feng fell heavily to the ground, nearly unconscious. He Xieling formed seals with his hands, and a black evil force surged towards Pan Yue and Chu Feng like a tide.

"You don't know your own limitations!" He Xieling sneered.

Pan Yue gritted his teeth, barely holding up a weak spiritual barrier. He knew that his own strength alone was no match for He Xieling's attack, and he had to find a way to break the formation as soon as possible! While resisting the evil force's erosion, he desperately recalled the records of the formation in the back mountain.

Chu Feng struggled to get up from the ground. Although he was in great pain, he still held the dagger tightly, his eyes full of unyielding will. He couldn't fall down. Pan Yue was still fighting, and he had to buy time for him!

Chu Feng stumbled towards He Xieling, his dagger flashing a silver light. However, in the face of the powerful evil force, this attack seemed so insignificant. He Xieling smiled contemptuously and struck Chu Feng in the chest with a backhand palm.

"Puff..." Chu Feng spat out a mouthful of blood and fell to the ground again. But he still stared at He Xieling, his eyes burning with an unquenchable flame.

This scene deeply stung Pan Yue's heart. He had to be faster! The key to the back mountain formation... That's right! It's the center of the formation! As long as the center of the formation is destroyed, He Xieling will be prevented from using the power of the formation!

Pan Yue resisted the evil force's erosion and locked his gaze on the depths of the mountain behind him. There, faintly emanating a strange energy fluctuation, was the center of the formation! He had to rush there!

Just as Pan Yue was about to charge towards the center of the formation, He Xieling suddenly let out a sinister laugh. "Want to destroy my formation? Dream on!"

He raised his hands high, muttering something to himself. The evil aura of the entire mountain behind him instantly grew thicker, as if a ball of thick ink had enveloped everything. A powerful sense of oppression descended from the sky, nearly suffocating Pan Yue.

"It's too late..." He Xieling's voice was like a whisper from hell, "Now, everything will be swallowed by darkness..."

Chu Feng felt his body grow heavier, the surroundings blurry, and an inexplicable fear washed over him. "Pan Yue..." He struggled to utter a name, his voice hoarse and weak. He stretched out his hand, as if trying to grasp something, but it fell powerlessly...

"This...what is this..."
