God Slayer: Make Up for the Past

Chapter 155: A Turning Point in the Deserted Village: Help Arrives

The black air surged, and the leader of the evil spirits let out a deafening roar, his power even greater than before.

Chu Feng barely managed to hold on, and every collision made his palms numb and his bones feel like they were about to break.

He felt a surge of powerlessness. This increased strength did not come from the vengeful spirit itself, but from some external force.

He glanced at the man in black at the entrance of the village, and his confusion grew even greater. Who was this man?

What is the purpose?

Liu Yue was terrified watching from the side. She tightly grasped the cloth bag in her hand, and her lips trembled slightly.

"Chu Feng... be careful!" She couldn't help but shout, her voice weak but full of worry.

Village chief Wang hid behind the crowd, muttering to himself, and secretly glanced at the man in black from time to time, his eyes full of fear.

Exorcist Li had long since disappeared, having slipped to the end of the village at some point, intending to flee immediately if the situation went wrong.

"You useless thing! You can't even deal with a vengeful spirit!" A sharp voice came from behind the vengeful spirit.

A short vengeful spirit floated to the front and shouted at Chu Feng, "How can you resist the power of our leader? Just prepare to die!" The other small vengeful spirits also echoed and made harsh laughs.

Chu Feng gritted his teeth and swung his sword again to meet the attack of the evil spirit leader.

He could feel the villagers' suspicious eyes. Although they saw Chu Feng trying hard to fight against the vengeful spirit, they still did not dare to trust him completely. Some people even whispered that Chu Feng was no match for the vengeful spirit.

This feeling of being isolated and helpless made Chu Feng even more irritated.

At this moment, the silent old villager Sun suddenly stepped forward, pointed at the leader of the evil spirits, and muttered to himself: "Its...its power...comes from...comes from..."

A trace of fear flashed across Old Villager Sun's cloudy eyes, yet with a hint of determination, he said in a trembling voice: "Its power... comes from that dry well!"

These words exploded in the crowd like thunder.

All the villagers' eyes were focused on the long-dried well in the center of the village.

The dry well was surrounded by weeds, and an eerie atmosphere filled the air, making people shudder.

When the vengeful spirit leader heard what Old Villager Sun said, he let out a sharp scream. The short vengeful spirit immediately flew in front of Old Villager Sun, threatening him with his fangs and claws, "Old man, what nonsense are you talking about!?"

"I...I'm not talking nonsense..." Old Villager Sun stepped back in fear, but still insisted on his statement, "I saw it with my own eyes...I saw it come out of the well..."

Chu Feng's heart moved. Old Villager Sun's words reminded him of the cold and chilling aura he had felt by the well. Could it be that this dry well was the true source of the vengeful spirit?

"Chu Feng, it seems we have to go to that well and take a look." Pan Yue analyzed calmly.

Chu Feng nodded and was about to leave when he heard a sarcastic voice: "I think you should not waste your energy. This vengeful spirit is not something you can deal with."

The person who spoke was Exorcist Li, who had slipped back from the end of the village at some point, with a gloating expression on his face.

"I've said it before, this village is filled with evil spirits. Without professionals like me, you won't be able to solve it."

Pan Yue looked at him coldly, "Where did you go just now?"

Exorcist Li's eyes flickered, "I...I'll go prepare a more powerful weapon."

Pan Yue sneered, but didn't expose his lie. He just said, "Since you are so capable, why don't you come with us to the well and take a look?"

Exorcist Li waved his hands quickly and said, "I... I have more important things to do, so I won't go." After saying that, he wanted to sneak away again.

Pan Yue grabbed his shoulders and said, "Now that you're here, don't even think about leaving."

Chu Feng ignored Exorcist Li's struggle and walked straight towards the dry well.

Liu Yue followed closely behind, her eyes full of worry.

Village chief Wang and other villagers also followed hesitantly. They were both afraid and curious, wanting to know what secrets were hidden in the well.

Chu Feng walked to the well, and a cold breath hit him in the face, stronger than before.

He looked down at the bottom of the well. It was pitch black and he could see nothing, but he could feel a powerful force surging.

"Be careful!" Liu Yue suddenly shouted.

A black shadow shot out from the bottom of the well and rushed towards Chu Feng...

The black shadow was moving extremely fast. Just as Chu Feng reacted, he felt a huge force hitting his chest.

He staggered back a few steps and spurted out a mouthful of blood.

"Chu Feng!" Liu Yue exclaimed and was about to rush forward.

"Don't come over here!" Chu Feng wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and forced himself to stand. He knew that Liu Yue was just an ordinary villager and could not fight against the evil spirit.

The black shadow was the leader of the evil spirits. After it jumped out of the well, its body became more solid and its face became more hideous and terrifying.

It let out a shrill scream and pounced towards Chu Feng again.

"Its power comes from the dry well!" Chu Feng remembered what the old villager Sun said, and suddenly an idea came to his mind.

He no longer dodged, but rushed towards the leader of the evil spirits.

At the moment when the evil spirit leader was about to touch him, Chu Feng turned around suddenly, grabbed its arm, and then pulled it hard, throwing it into the dry well.

The leader of the evil spirits let out a shrill scream, its body drew an arc in the air, and fell heavily into the dry well.

"Did it succeed?" asked Village Chief Wang tremblingly.

However, Chu Feng did not let down his guard at all. He knew that things were not that simple.

Sure enough, there was a violent vibration in the dry well, and an even stronger cold breath surged out from the bottom of the well.

"Not good!" Chu Feng cried out in his heart and quickly stepped back.

At this moment, Liu Yue rushed to Chu Feng's side regardless of the villagers' obstruction. She grabbed Chu Feng's arm tightly, her eyes full of worry.

Chu Feng looked at Liu Yue's worried eyes, and his heart warmed. He knew that Liu Yue really cared about him.

This warm power made Chu Feng more determined. He must protect this village and Liu Yue.

The vibrations in the dry well became more and more violent, and a black mist gushed out from the wellhead, condensing into a huge black vortex in the air.

"It's coming out!" shouted old villager Sun in horror.

Chu Feng took a deep breath and gripped the sword tightly. He knew that the real battle had just begun.

Suddenly, a figure came rushing from a distance and stopped in front of Chu Feng.

"I'm here to lend you a hand," the man said.

The man was dressed in coarse linen clothes, carrying a long sword on his back, and his face was covered by a bamboo hat, so his appearance could not be seen clearly.

The villagers were shocked and confused, whispering to each other and guessing the identity of the visitor.

Exorcist Li's face changed even more, and he thought to himself that this was not good. Could it be that his competitors were trying to steal his business?

"Who are you?" Chu Feng asked vigilantly, holding the sword tightly in his hand.

The visitor did not answer, but slowly raised his head, revealing a pair of sharp eyes under his hat.

He did not look at Chu Feng, but stared directly at the rolling black vortex. The long sword in his hand was unsheathed, and a cold light flashed.

"This is... the Chen family's swordsmanship!" Old Villager Sun said tremblingly, with a hint of fear in his tone.

At the same time, Village Chief Wang also recognized this set of sword techniques. His face suddenly changed, and he pulled the trembling Liu Yue beside him back a few steps.

Liu Yue broke free from Village Chief Wang's hand and looked at the mysterious visitor with a determined look.

The man ignored everyone's reactions, his sword trembled slightly, and a sharp sword energy rushed straight into the black vortex.

The sword energy collided with the black fog, making a sharp whistling sound and stirring up a gust of wind that made it impossible for everyone to open their eyes.

When the wind calmed down, the black fog dissipated a lot, and the roar of the evil spirit leader became weaker.

Chu Feng was shocked. The strength of this mysterious person was far above his.

He thought he would have to use his ability to go back in time to reverse the situation, but he didn't expect someone to come to his aid.

"Thank you for your help, senior!" Chu Feng saluted with his fists clasped.

The man still didn't speak, sheathed his sword, turned and walked towards the dry well.

He walked to the well, looked down, then took out a piece of talisman paper from his arms and stuck it on the mouth of the well.

A golden light flashed across the talisman paper, and the dry well instantly calmed down, as if nothing had happened.

After doing all this, the man looked at Chu Feng again, and a low voice came from under the bamboo hat: "The vengeful spirit has been eliminated, but the matter is not over yet." He paused, and his eyes swept over everyone present, "Be careful... the Chen family." After that, he left without looking back, and his figure quickly disappeared into the night.

Chu Feng looked at the direction the person left, feeling extremely confused.

Chen family?

The Chen family that old villager Sun mentioned before?

Could all this be related to the Chen family?

He continued to investigate following the clues provided by Old Villager Sun, and found that all the evidence pointed to the mysterious visitor Chen. He took out the amulet that the mysterious visitor Chen had given him and muttered, "What on earth are you..."
