God Slayer: Make Up for the Past

The evil energy emanating from behind the stone door wasn't a simple energy fluctuation, but more like living tentacles, cold and sticky, greedily licking everything around it. Chu Feng held his breath, gripping the dagger even tighter. The darkness within the door wasn't pure lightlessness, but a thick, profound aura that seemed to swallow up all light. Pan Yue pointed deep within the door, his fingers trembling, yet he couldn't speak.

Chu Feng followed Pan Yue's gaze, his pupils suddenly constricting. Deep within the doorway, a massive shadow slowly wriggled, like a giant beast tumbling in thick ink. It lacked a distinct form, seemingly a patchwork of countless twisted tentacles and faces, emanating a chilling, sinister aura. The surrounding space seemed to distort under its malevolent aura, and a nauseating, fishy stench filled the air. Chu Feng narrowed his eyes, straining to see its true form, but found the shadow so elusive that he could not grasp its true form.

"What is this..." Chu Feng's voice was a little hoarse. This powerful evil force far exceeded any evil spirit he had encountered before.

Pan Yue's face turned pale, his lips trembling slightly. "A powerful evil spirit...more powerful than any we've encountered before..."

A chilling aura invaded Chu Feng's body. He felt his strength being drained away, his limbs growing heavy, and even breathing became difficult. He gritted his teeth, trying to resist the erosion, but found that this evil aura was like a maggot in his tarsal bones, difficult to escape.

"Chu Feng!" Pan Yue noticed Chu Feng's abnormality and called out anxiously, "How are you?"

Chu Feng took a deep breath, suppressing the discomfort in his body, and shook his head: "I'm fine...it's just this evil spirit..."

Before he finished speaking, the massive shadow suddenly moved. It made no sound, yet it brought with it a suffocating sense of oppression. It extended a python-like tentacle and attacked Chu Feng and Pan Yue.

Chu Feng forced himself to fight back, brandishing his dagger as he charged forward. However, his movements were much slower than usual, and the dagger slashed through the shadows, seemingly cutting through the air, causing no damage.

"It's useless..." Pan Yue's voice was filled with despair, "Ordinary weapons are ineffective against it..."

The shadow's tentacles wrapped around Chu Feng's ankles, slamming him to the ground. Chu Feng groaned, feeling as if his bones were about to break. He struggled to stand, but found his body was no longer under his control.

The shadow slowly approached, like a giant spider, ready to feast on its prey.

At this moment, Chu Feng's eyes fell on the dagger in his hand. On the blade of the dagger, there was a line of tiny runes engraved. It was the last gift his master left him.

"No..." Chu Feng murmured softly, a flicker of determination in his eyes. He gripped the dagger tightly, concentrating all his strength in his hand...

Chu Feng gripped the dagger tightly. The runes on the blade flickered faintly, as if responding to his resolve. A warm current surged through his body, dispelling the chill within him and instantly clearing his hazy consciousness. He abruptly stood up, ignoring the sharp pain in his ankle, and stared resolutely at the wriggling shadow.

"No... I won't give up!" Chu Feng's voice was hoarse, but full of strength. He no longer tried to attack the evil spirit directly with the dagger, but instead raised the dagger high above his head, with the tip pointing straight to the sky.

"In my name, awaken the dormant power!" Chu Feng chanted in a low voice. The ancient spell flowed out of his mouth, carrying a strange rhythm, echoing in the air.

The runes on the blade glowed brightly, and a powerful energy wave spread out from Chu Feng, forcing back the surrounding evil spirits. The originally dim stone chamber was illuminated by this light, as bright as day.

"Chu Feng!" Pan Yue looked at the scene in surprise, his eyes full of hope.

The students hiding in the corner also saw this scene, and their originally desperate eyes were rekindled with the light of hope.

"Chu Feng, come on!" a student shouted.

"Chu Feng, we believe you!" another student shouted.

The students' shouts flowed like warm currents into Chu Feng's heart, making him more resolute. He took a deep breath and poured all his strength into the dagger.

"Break it for me!" Chu Feng roared, and the dagger in his hand turned into a stream of light and stabbed towards the center of the evil spirit.

However, just as the dagger was about to touch the evil spirit, Chu Feng hesitated. He knew that his strength was limited. If he just attacked blindly, it would probably not cause any substantial damage to the evil spirit, but would instead waste precious energy.

He must find the evil spirit's weakness in order to defeat it with one strike.

Chu Feng forced himself to calm down and carefully observed the evil spirit's form, trying to find its flaws. The evil spirit's true form was still unclear, like a black vortex that constantly changed shape, making it difficult to grasp.

As time passed, the pressure on Chu Feng grew. He knew he couldn't delay any longer and had to make a decision quickly.

Should we attack directly or continue to look for weaknesses?

Chu Feng clenched his teeth, his heart full of contradictions.

At this moment, Pan Yue's voice suddenly rang out: "Chu Feng, look at its lower left side!"

Chu Feng followed Pan Yue's instructions and found an area to the lower left of the evil spirit. The concentration of evil energy was obviously much thinner than other places.

Could it be... that is the evil spirit's weakness?

Chu Feng's mind moved, and he immediately changed the direction of attack, aiming the dagger at the lower left side of the evil spirit.

"Now!" Chu Feng roared, and the dagger in his hand turned into a stream of light again, stabbing towards the evil spirit's weakness.

"Roar—" The evil spirit roared angrily, and its massive body began to tremble violently...

Pan Yue's expression suddenly became serious. He grabbed Chu Feng's arm and said hurriedly, "Be careful..."

Pan Yue's expression changed suddenly for a reason. Just as Chu Feng's dagger was about to strike the evil spirit's weak spot, the previously blurry black vortex suddenly solidified, transforming into a hideous monster. It let out a deafening roar, and countless black tentacles surged from its body, like dancing venomous snakes, sweeping towards Chu Feng.

"Be careful!" Pan Yue shouted, and the talisman in his hand flew out, transforming into several golden lights, hitting several tentacles attacking Chu Feng. The tentacles were broken up and dissipated into black smoke, but more tentacles continued to emerge.

Chu Feng nimbly dodged the tentacles' attacks. He didn't dare be careless. He knew that these tentacles not only contained powerful evil energy, but also moved at great speed. If he wasn't careful, he would be hit. While dodging, he looked for opportunities to strike at the evil spirit's weaknesses again.

Pan Yue, on the other hand, continued to use talismans to distract the evil spirits, creating opportunities for Chu Feng. The talismans transformed into streaks of golden light, dancing in the air, flickering like fireflies, attracting the evil spirits' attention.

"Chu Feng, to the left!" Pan Yue reminded loudly.

Chu Feng seized the opportunity, turned his body to the side, dodged the attack of a tentacle, then leaped forward suddenly, and stabbed the evil spirit's weak point with the dagger in his hand again.

"Roar--" The evil spirit roared angrily again, and its tentacles danced even more frantically, trying to stop Chu Feng's attack.

Chu Feng gritted his teeth and poured all his strength into the dagger. The dagger cut through the air, making a sharp whistling sound, and accurately pierced the evil spirit's weak spot.

The evil spirit let out a shrill scream, its body trembling violently, and its black tentacles drooped down weakly.

The students hiding in the corner couldn't help cheering when they saw this scene.

"Chu Feng is so amazing!"

"We are saved!"

However, Chu Feng and Pan Yue did not relax at all. They knew that this was only a temporary victory and the evil spirit had not been completely eliminated.

Sure enough, a moment later, the evil spirit stood up again, its aura was even stronger than before, and there was a fierce light flashing in its eyes.

"It...it seems to be stronger!" a student shouted in horror.

Chu Feng and Pan Yue looked at each other and saw the solemnity in each other's eyes.

Although Chu Feng's attack caused some damage to the evil spirit, it also aroused its ferocity and made it even more powerful.

At this moment, the evil spirit suddenly let out a strange roar, its body began to swell, and the surrounding space began to distort. A strong sense of oppression enveloped the entire stone chamber, making people feel suffocated.

"What is this?" Pan Yue's face changed drastically.

An unprecedented evil force was emanating from the evil spirit. The surrounding space was shrouded in darkness. Chu Feng and Pan Yue's vision was completely obscured, and they could not even sense each other's existence.

"Pan Yue..." Chu Feng's voice sounded particularly weak in the darkness.

"I'm..." Pan Yue's voice trembled a little.

Suddenly, the voice of an evil spirit rang out in the darkness, like a demon from hell whispering: "Feel... despair..."
