God Slayer: Make Up for the Past

Chapter 172: Farewell in the Deserted Village: The End of the Crisis

Pan Yue's shout was like thunder, pulling Chu Feng back from his thoughts.

The monster suddenly burst into madness, waving its sharp claws with a fishy wind, and rushed straight to Chu Feng's face.

At the critical moment, Chu Feng just dodged to the side, and the monster's sharp claws scraped across his cheek, leaving several blood marks.

"Chu Feng!" Liu Yue saw this scene from a distance, her heart in her throat, and she exclaimed in surprise.

She wanted to rush over desperately, but was held back by her family.

"Yue'er, don't go! It's too dangerous!" Liu Yue's mother cried and hugged her tightly. "You can't help if you go, it will only distract them!"

"But...but Chu Feng..." Liu Yue burst into tears and struggled desperately, but she was a weak woman, how could she break free?

"Yue'er, listen to your mother!" Father Liu advised with red eyes, "Chu Feng is the night watchman, he has his responsibilities, we can't cause him trouble!"

Liu Yue cried in despair. Her worry about Chu Feng and her helplessness towards her family intertwined together, making her heart break.

On the battlefield, the monsters' attacks became more and more fierce, and Chu Feng and Pan Yue gradually felt overwhelmed.

Pan Yue's left arm was scratched by the monster and was bleeding, but he still gritted his teeth and persisted, buying time for Chu Feng.

"Chu Feng, have you thought of anything? That mark..." Pan Yue asked, panting.

Chu Feng's eyes flashed, and all the signs of the evil organization he had investigated before flashed through his mind.

He finally understood that this mark represented a special sacrificial ceremony, and this monster was the sacrifice!

"Pan Yue, attack its belly! That's the connection point for sacrifice!" Chu Feng shouted, and the long sword in his hand suddenly shone brightly, piercing straight into the monster's belly.

Upon hearing this, Pan Yue immediately understood. He endured the pain, concentrated all his strength on the dagger in his hand, and stabbed it hard into the monster's abdomen.

The two forces collided, the monster let out a shrill roar, and its huge body fell to the ground with a bang.

The villagers burst into deafening cheers. They rushed forward, lifted Chu Feng and Pan Yue high, and cheered their victory.

Chu Feng looked at the cheering crowd, but he didn't feel the joy he had imagined. He had a vague feeling that this was just the beginning, and a greater crisis was still to come...

"Chu Feng," Pan Yue patted his shoulder weakly, "We... seem to be in big trouble..."

When the dust settled, the huge monster fell to the ground with a loud bang, and there was no sound anymore.

The villagers recovered from their initial shock and burst into thunderous cheers.

They surrounded Chu Feng and Pan Yue, their eyes flashing with awe and gratitude.

The children were so excited that they circled around the two of them, shouting "heroes" and "so awesome" in their childish voices.

Chu Feng was lifted high by the villagers and thrown into the air, and cheers resounded through the sky.

He had never felt such a strong sense of accomplishment, and a sense of pride arose spontaneously.

He looked down at the crowd and saw Liu Yue.

The worry in her eyes had faded, replaced by full of pride and joy.

Liu Yue's family also squeezed in the crowd, looking at Chu Feng with gratitude in their eyes.

Father Liu walked up to Chu Feng and bowed deeply. "Brother Chu Feng, thank you for saving our village and my daughter." He paused, his tone becoming serious. "I know Yue'er has always admired you and hopes to go out into the world with you. We old couple have discussed it and decided to respect her choice. However, I hope you can promise me one thing: you must protect her and never let her get hurt."

Chu Feng looked at Liu's father's expectant eyes and nodded solemnly, "Don't worry, I will definitely protect Liu Yue." He turned to Liu Yue and extended his hand, "Let's go, let's start a new adventure together."

Liu Yue nodded with tears in her eyes and placed her hand in Chu Feng's.

Pan Yue looked at the two of them and said jokingly, "It seems our team is going to grow again. However, Chu Feng, you have to be careful. You can't be as reckless as before. The burden on your shoulders is even heavier now."

Chu Feng smiled and said, "Don't worry, I will." He looked around, his heart full of longing for the future.

However, at this moment, a strange roar pierced the night sky.

The ground began to tremble, and from where the monster fell, some tiny tentacles spread out like vines, quickly expanding to form small monsters, making creepy screams and rushing towards the crowd.

The villagers panicked again and ran away screaming.

Chu Feng's eyes glared, and he drew his sword. "Pan Yue, protect everyone!" He flashed and charged into the group of monsters, his sword flashing...

"These little things really don't know how to live or die..." Chu Feng whispered, and the cold light on the sword edge became stronger.

The sword shines like snow, and the cold air is pressing.

Chu Feng's figure shuttled through the group of monsters, and every time he swung his sword, he took away several tiny tentacles.

Although these small monsters are numerous, they are no match for Chu Feng.

He is agile and has sharp swordsmanship, and every strike he makes is precise and deadly.

Compared with the difficulty he had facing the giant monster before, Chu Feng now seemed to be at ease, and his every move revealed a sense of confidence and composure.

"These little guys are far inferior to the big one before." Chu Feng chuckled, turned the sword, and cut the last small monster into two pieces.

The monster's remains turned into black powder and dissipated into the air.

The villagers gradually stopped running and cautiously came out from their hiding places. Looking at the black powder all over the ground, their eyes were filled with surprise and awe.

Liu Yue could no longer suppress her inner worry, rushed to Chu Feng and hugged him tightly.

"Are you okay? I was scared to death!" Her voice was trembling, and she pressed her body tightly against Chu Feng, as if she wanted to pour out all her fears.

Chu Feng felt the warmth in Liu Yue's arms, and a tenderness surged in his heart.

He gently stroked Liu Yue's hair and said softly, "I'm fine, don't worry." He looked down at Liu Yue, his eyes full of tenderness, "I said I would protect you."

Liu Yue raised her head and looked at Chu Feng's determined eyes, feeling a sense of security in her heart.

She nodded gently, tears welling up in her eyes, but with a hint of happy smile.

Pan Yue walked up to the two of them and said with a smile, "It seems our hero has saved everyone again. However, Chu Feng, you must be careful next time and don't let your girlfriend worry."

Chu Feng smiled, said nothing, and just held Liu Yue's hand tightly.

After bidding farewell to the grateful villagers, Chu Feng, Pan Yue and Liu Yue embarked on a new journey.

Their destination is a fortress floating in the air - "Sky City".

That is the headquarters of the Night's Watch and where they accept new missions.

As the distance got closer, the outline of the "Sky City" became clearer and clearer.

It is like a huge metal fortress, suspended above the clouds, exuding a mysterious and powerful aura.

However, Chu Feng noticed that the energy fluctuations around the "Sky City" were extremely strong, far exceeding any defense system he had ever seen before.

A sense of unease rose in his heart, and he subconsciously tightened the sword in his hand.

Pan Yue also noticed something was wrong and said solemnly, "This... isn't right."

As they continued forward, the oppressive feeling in the air grew stronger, as if an invisible hand was tightly gripping their throats... Chu Feng stared intently at the "Sky City" and twitched his lips slightly, "This defense..."
