God Slayer: Make Up for the Past

Chapter 173: Fortress Shock: First Danger

The "Sky City" was getting closer and closer. The cold light of the metal reflected the dazzling sunlight, and the strict defense system was as dense as a spider web, flashing with heart-pounding energy light.

Chu Feng frowned. The previous battle outside the village had consumed a lot of his physical strength. Now facing this impregnable fortress, he felt even more uneasy.

Pan Yue also put away his usual relaxed attitude, carefully observed the energy fluctuations around him, and whispered: "This defense system may not be easily broken through even by the legendary Night's Watch." His words made Su Yao's face turn slightly pale. She tightly grasped the corner of Chu Feng's clothes, her eyes full of worry.

Before he could finish his words, a sharp alarm pierced the sky, and several small aircraft roared out of the fortress and headed straight for them.

On the aircraft, soldiers in black uniforms raised their weapons and launched an attack without hesitation.

The energy beam flew past Chu Feng's cheek, and the scorching temperature made him feel a sting.

"Are they crazy? We haven't revealed our identities yet!" Pan Yue exclaimed, and at the same time reacted quickly, releasing a shield to block the incoming energy beam.

Chu Feng didn't want to hurt these soldiers. After all, they were just following orders. While dodging the attacks, he shouted loudly, "We are the Night Watchmen, here to report the situation!" However, his shouts were drowned out by the roar of the engines. The flying soldiers continued to pursue him, and the attacks became more and more fierce.

"Chu Feng, don't hesitate! If we continue like this, we will be shot down by them!" Pan Yue's shield had cracks and he shouted anxiously.

Chu Feng gritted his teeth, he knew he couldn't passively take the beating anymore.

He swung his sword violently, and a burst of sword energy forced back the approaching aircraft, but more aircraft surrounded him from all directions, like maggots on the tarsal bones, which could not be shaken off.

Chu Feng's eyes swept across the dense energy net, and he calculated rapidly in his mind.

He knew that a head-on confrontation was not the best strategy and he had to find a breakthrough.

He noticed that the fluctuations of the energy network were not static, but followed certain patterns... "Pan Yue, are you ready?" Chu Feng's eyes suddenly lit up.

"I'm ready!" Pan Yue wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, his eyes determined. He knew Chu Feng must have thought of a solution.

Chu Feng took a deep breath, and the sword in his hand flashed.

He pointed to a node in the energy network and said in a deep voice, "Now!" After that, his body was as fast as lightning, and the sword light turned into a stream of rainbow, hitting the node accurately.

At the same time, Pan Yue also released powerful energy fluctuations, interfering with the flow of energy around him.

I saw a tiny crack appear on the energy net, like shattered glass.

The crack was fleeting, but it was enough for Chu Feng and Pan Yue.

The two rushed into the crack almost at the same time and successfully broke through the first layer of defense before the energy net closed again.

Only after entering the outer area of ​​the fortress were Chu Feng and Pan Yue able to catch their breath.

"That was a close call!" Pan Yue sighed with lingering fear. The breakthrough just now was almost on the verge of death.

However, before they could breathe a sigh of relief, the shrill alarm sounded again.

"Intruders spotted! Intruders spotted!" A cold mechanical voice came from the loudspeaker, and then more aircraft roared out from the depths of the fortress, like black clouds, covering the sky and rushing towards them.

"Damn, they reacted so quickly!" Pan Yue's face changed.

At this time, a burly man in military uniform appeared on the huge display screen.

His eyes were like torches and his tone was cold: "How dare you invade the Sky Fortress? You are so brave!" It was the commander of the Sky Fortress, Liu Changfeng.

"We are the Night Watch! We have important information to report!" Chu Feng tried to explain again, but Liu Changfeng didn't listen at all.

"Night Watch? Humph! I think you are spies of the cult!" Liu Changfeng gave an order, and the flying soldiers' attacks became more fierce, and energy beams poured down like raindrops.

At the same time, the outer defense system of the fortress was also activated, and the huge energy cannon slowly rotated and aimed at Chu Feng and Pan Yue.

"It seems that we have no choice but to fight..." Chu Feng clenched the sword in his hand, and a hint of determination flashed in his eyes.

Pan Yue was also ready for battle. He knew very well that this opponent was stronger than any previous one.

Suddenly, Chu Feng's eyes focused. He noticed that although the flying soldiers' attacks were dense, there was a tiny blind spot... He raised the corner of his mouth slightly and whispered to Pan Yue, "Cover me!"

Although Pan Yue was puzzled, he did as he was told without hesitation...

Chu Feng shouted in a low voice: "Cover me!" Pan Yue understood, and the runes in his hand flashed. Energy barriers rose around Chu Feng, blocking the dense energy beams.

Chu Feng seized this fleeting opportunity and shuttled among the flying soldiers like a ghost.

He did not attack blindly, but precisely attacked the connection point of each flying soldier's energy thruster - that tiny blind spot.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!" A series of explosions rang out, and one plane after another, emitting black smoke, lost control and fell from the sky.

Chu Feng's attack was like a precise scalpel, cutting off the enemy's lifeline.

The flying soldiers' formation was instantly thrown into chaos, and their originally tight coordination collapsed.

However, the number of flying soldiers was too large, and even if Chu Feng's attack was more accurate, he could not completely resist it.

Scars gradually appeared on his body and his breathing became rapid.

At this moment, Chu Feng's eyes swept across a corner and saw a shivering figure.

It was a girl in a mechanic's uniform, holding a metal box tightly, her eyes full of fear.

It's Su Yao!

Chu Feng's heart tightened, and a desire to protect him arose spontaneously.

He knew that in this dangerous fortress, a weak girl like Su Yao might encounter an accident at any time.

He must protect her!

Chu Feng approached Su Yao while resisting the attacks of the flying soldiers.

"Don't be afraid, I will protect you!" Chu Feng's tone was firm and gentle, giving Su Yao a little comfort.

At this moment, the energy cannons on the outer layer of the fortress began to charge, making a buzzing sound.

The huge energy fluctuations caused the air to become distorted.

"Oh no, the energy cannon is about to fire!" Pan Yue's face changed drastically. The power of this energy cannon was enough to blow them into pieces.

At the same time, a sneer flashed across Liu Changfeng's face on the screen: "If you continue to resist, you will only end up dead!"

Chu Feng's eyes swept across the chaotic battlefield, then looked at Su Yao hiding in the corner, and the energy cannon that was about to be fired, and he quickly calculated in his mind.

He knew that he had to find a breakthrough as soon as possible, otherwise they would all die.

Suddenly, Chu Feng's eyes fell on the metal box in Su Yao's hand.

There were some strange patterns engraved on the surface of the box, which seemed to be somewhat similar to the energy fluctuations he had felt before... He pulled Su Yao up, pointed at the box and said, "What is this box?"
