God Slayer: Make Up for the Past

Chapter 124: A First Glimpse into the Spiritual Gate: Encountering an Evil Spirit

The cave twists and turns, eventually leading to a vast underground space.

The fog was thick and the air was filled with an unsettling chill.

Chu Feng and Pan Yue advanced cautiously. Visibility was extremely low, with only a vague huge outline looming in front of them.

"Is that... the gate to the spiritual world?" Pan Yue's voice trembled a little, and he clenched the weapon in his hand.

Chu Feng did not answer, but just stared at the outline in front of him, his heartbeat gradually quickening.

An inexplicable feeling of oppression enveloped him, as if something was peeping at them from behind the door.

Suddenly, there was a rustling sound in the thick fog, and then several black shadows rushed out from the fog at an astonishing speed.

"Be careful!" Chu Feng shouted, protecting Pan Yue behind him. The dagger in his hand flashed a cold light and collided with the black shadow.

Sparks flew, and Chu Feng felt a powerful force coming, which made his palm numb.

"These are... evil spirits!" Pan Yue exclaimed. He recognized these creatures. They were evil beings that emerged from the gate to the spiritual world.

Just then, Elder Wu arrived with several night watchmen.

When they saw Chu Feng and Pan Yue fighting the evil spirits, instead of stepping forward to help, they showed expressions of dissatisfaction.

"I knew that these two young people were too impulsive! Trespassing into the forbidden area without permission is simply nonsense!" Elder Wu scolded harshly.

Guo Shouren stepped forward, pointed at Chu Feng and said, "Look at what you've done! Now that the evil spirit has been disturbed, we're all going to suffer!"

Chu Feng felt misunderstood and lost. He was clearly trying to prevent a greater disaster, but he was being blamed instead.

In the thick fog, the huge outline gradually became clear, like a huge eye, staring at them coldly.

More evil spirits poured out from behind the door, emitting shrill screams that made people shudder.

Elder Wu's face turned pale as he finally realized the seriousness of the situation. "Quick...quickly stop them!" he said tremblingly.

An old voice came from the thick fog: "It's too late..."

Facing the accusations from his comrades, Chu Feng's eyes did not waver at all, but became even more determined.

"Elder Wu, Night Watchman Guo, I understand your concerns, but the very existence of the Spirit World Gate is a massive hidden danger. We can't let this happen any longer!" He pointed at the continuously emerging evil spirits. "These evil spirits are just the vanguard. If the Spirit World Gate is fully opened, the consequences will be disastrous!"

His tone was steady, yet it carried an unquestionable power. These words made Zheng, the originally wavering psychic scholar, start to reconsider.

He walked up to Chu Feng and whispered, "Chu Feng, what are your plans?"

At this moment, an even colder aura surged out from the gate to the spiritual world, as if some powerful being was about to descend.

Elder Wu's face changed drastically, and he shouted in horror: "Not good! Retreat quickly!"

However, it's too late.

A group of spiritual creatures emerged from the spiritual world gate. They looked like giant spiders, with sharp claws and mouthparts, and made creepy hissing sounds.

They rushed towards the crowd with their fangs and claws bared, at an astonishing speed.

"There are too many of them!" Guo the Night Watchman shouted in horror, and he could hardly hold the weapon in his hand.

"This...this is something we can't deal with at all!" Another night watchman turned pale and collapsed to the ground.

The atmosphere froze instantly, and despair spread among the crowd. Elder Wu looked at the approaching He Lingjie creature and regretted his previous stubbornness.

Suddenly, an old voice came from the thick fog: "The power of these 'ghost-faced spiders' is extraordinary. Their venom can corrode everything, and even spiritual shields can hardly resist it. I have lived in seclusion for many years and have only seen this kind of horrible creature once..." As he spoke, a hunchbacked old man slowly walked out. It was the mysterious old man Xiao who had appeared before.

His cloudy eyes stared at the gate to the spirit world, and his tone was solemn, "It seems that the world behind the gate to the spirit world is more dangerous than we imagined..."

Chu Feng ignored the mysterious old man's warning. He took a deep breath, his eyes sharp, and said, "Pan Yue, prepare to fight!"

Chu Feng's figure shot out like an arrow, and the long knife in his hand cut through the air and went straight for the head of a ghost-faced spider.

The blade collided with the hard shell of the ghost-faced spider, making a harsh metallic friction sound.

The ghost-faced spider hissed and fought back, waving its sharp claws.

Chu Feng's movements were agile and swift, and he barely avoided the attack, but the green venom sprayed by the ghost-faced spider brushed past his arm and corroded a rock on the ground.

"Be careful of their venom!" Pan Yue warned, and at the same time the talisman in his hand flew out and turned into a wall of fire, blocking the attacks of several other ghost-faced spiders.

Chu Feng took a deep breath and his eyes became more fierce.

He discovered that although these ghost-faced spiders were extremely fast and had strong attack power, their attack methods were relatively simple, and they seemed to be afraid of fire.

He chose the right moment and deliberately revealed a flaw to lure a ghost-faced spider closer.

The ghost-faced spider was fooled and pounced on Chu Feng with its mouth full of sharp teeth.

At this critical moment, Chu Feng dodged the attack and at the same time, the long knife in his hand stabbed out like lightning, hitting the ghost-faced spider's abdomen.

The ghost-faced spider let out a shrill scream and its huge body fell to the ground with a bang.

During the battle, Chu Feng looked at Pan Yue with eyes full of trust.

Pan Yue nodded slightly, the talisman in his hand flashed, ready to provide support at any time.

The tacit understanding between the two does not require words. At the critical moment of life and death, they rely on each other and advance and retreat together.

"The weakness of these ghost-faced spiders is their abdomen!" Chu Feng reminded the other night watchmen loudly, while continuing to fight with the ghost-faced spiders with the long sword in his hand.

He no longer fought head-on, but instead took advantage of the surrounding environment, using trees and rocks as cover to roam and attack.

When Elder Wu and Night Watchman Guo saw Chu Feng's heroic performance, their original opposition gradually faded.

They realized that the crisis at hand was far more important than internal disputes.

"Let's go too!" Night Watchman Guo raised his arm and led the other Night Watchmen to join the battle.

However, just when everyone thought the situation had improved, a deafening roar suddenly emanated from the Spirit World Gate, and an even more powerful aura swept over... Chu Feng's expression changed, and he whispered, "Pan Yue, be careful..."

A thick black fog surged out of the spirit world gate, and accompanied by a heart-pounding roar, a spirit world creature resembling a giant lizard slowly appeared.

Its body was covered with scales that shimmered with a faint light, its scarlet eyes stared at Chu Feng, and a highly corrosive liquid dripped from its mouth.

Faced with this powerful enemy, Chu Feng did not choose to fight head-on.

He deliberately staggered, pretending to be exhausted, and the long sword in his hand began to tremble.

"I... I can't take it anymore..." he whispered, as if he had given up resisting.

Seeing this, the monitor lizard let out an excited roar and pounced towards Chu Feng with its huge body, as if it had foreseen the scene of its prey falling into its mouth.

At this moment, a gleam of light flashed in Chu Feng's eyes, and his originally trembling hands stabilized instantly. He suddenly inserted the long knife into the ground, and at the same time took out a talisman shining with golden light from his arms.

"Explode!" Chu Feng shouted loudly, and the talisman instantly burst out with dazzling light. A powerful energy wave swept over and knocked the giant lizard to the ground.

Before the monitor lizard could react, Chu Feng had already rushed forward, and the long knife in his hand turned into a silver light and stabbed into the monitor lizard's abdomen fiercely.

The giant lizard let out a shrill scream, its huge body trembled violently, and finally fell to the ground with a bang, turning into a ball of black mist and dissipating.

"Chu Feng! You..." Elder Wu widened his eyes, as if he couldn't believe what was happening before his eyes.

He originally thought that Chu Feng was doomed to die, but he didn't expect that he had hidden his strength.

Seeing this, Guo Shouren also hesitated. He looked at the giant lizard lying on the ground, then looked at Chu Feng who had a calm face, and his heart began to waver.

Pan Yue walked over to Chu Feng and asked in a low voice, "Are you okay?"

Chu Feng shook his head, but his gaze was directed towards the gate to the spiritual world from which spiritual creatures were still pouring out, and a trace of solemnity flashed in his eyes.

"This is just the beginning..." he whispered, a hint of uneasiness in his tone.

Then, he looked at everyone, "We must find a way to close this door..." He paused, looked around, and finally his eyes fell on Psychic Scholar Zheng, "Scholar Zheng, you..."
