Chapter 138: Evil Spirits Striking Back: Crisis
Before Chu Feng finished speaking, a deafening roar came from the depths of the ruins, and the ground began to shake violently.
Ross showed a strange smile on his face: "It seems that the fun is about to begin." The runes on the stone pillars flickered, and the stone pillars around Ross began to sink slowly.
Almost at the same time, a group of black shadows emerged from the depths of the ruins and rushed towards Chu Feng and others like a tide.
These black shadows were evil spirits, but the aura they emanated was stronger than any evil spirits they had encountered before, emitting a suffocating sense of oppression.
"Be careful!" Pan Yue shouted, drawing his weapon and rushing forward.
But he soon discovered that the power of these evil spirits was far beyond his imagination.
After just one encounter, Pan Yue was knocked back several steps, and the arm holding the weapon trembled slightly.
"These evil spirits... are different!" Pan Yue's face was solemn, with a hint of fear in his tone.
Dr. Ocean hid behind Chu Feng, his face pale, and the instrument in his hand kept sounding alarms. The harsh sound echoed in the ruins, adding a bit of tension to the atmosphere.
Ross's men looked excited, as if they were looking forward to the massacre.
"Lord Ross is truly a master of prediction!" one of his men said flatteringly. "These low-ranking Night's Watchmen are no match for Lord Ross!"
Chu Feng stood in front of Pan Yue and Dr. Ocean, gritting his teeth. He knew he had to hold on.
He waved his fists and fought against the evil spirit, but every attack was like hitting cotton and could not cause any substantial damage to the evil spirit.
A sharp pain came from his arm. Chu Feng looked down and saw a wound deep enough to see the bone. Black blood flowed out of the wound, quickly corroding his body.
His strength was rapidly draining away, and everything in front of him began to blur.
Ross had already broken the mechanism. He stood on a high place, looking down at Chu Feng who was fighting hard, with a cruel smile on his lips.
"Chu Feng, this is the gap between you and me." Ross's voice was cold, like a verdict from hell.
Suddenly, Dr. Ocean exclaimed: "Wait! My instrument detected... a special energy fluctuation deep in the ruins... Maybe, maybe I can..." He pointed to the depths of the ruins with a trembling finger, his tone hurried, but with a glimmer of hope.
"Special energy fluctuations? What is that?" Chu Feng spoke hurriedly as he struggled to resist the attack of the evil spirit.
He felt his body getting heavier and heavier, and his consciousness began to blur, but he still persisted because he knew that he could not fall down.
"It's a... a mysterious substance! My instruments show that it can interfere with the flow of evil spirits' energy!" Dr. Ocean's voice trembled with excitement and fear. "It's deep within the ruins, in a place similar to an altar!"
"Altar?" Chu Feng's heart moved. He remembered the strange altar he had seen in the ruins before. Could that be the key?
"Oh my god!" Pan Yue saw this and immediately understood Chu Feng's idea. He brandished his weapon and forced back several approaching evil spirits. "Cover me!"
Chu Feng nodded, endured the severe pain in his body, and used up his last bit of strength to drive away the evil spirits around him.
Pan Yue took the opportunity to rush into the depths of the ruins and ran in the direction indicated by Dr. Ocean.
Ross's men laughed at this.
"It's just a last-ditch effort!" one of his men scoffed. "Lord Ross has already taken control of the situation. They have no chance of turning the tables!"
Ross stood high above, looking down at everything below, his eyes filled with disdain. "A bunch of ants, you dare to challenge me?"
However, at this moment, a dazzling light suddenly burst out from the depths of the ruins.
Immediately afterwards, a powerful energy wave swept over, and the surrounding evil spirits roared in pain and retreated.
Pan Yue's figure appeared in the light, holding a container emitting a faint light in his hand, and the container was filled with liquid that was sparkling with strange light.
"Chu Feng, catch it!" he shouted and threw the container towards Chu Feng.
Chu Feng took the container and splashed the liquid on himself without hesitation.
The moment the liquid touched his body, a cool feeling spread throughout his body, his wounds began to heal rapidly, and his physical strength recovered quickly.
"What is this?" Ross's face changed slightly. He felt that this energy fluctuation had a very strong suppressive force on the evil spirits.
Chu Feng felt the abundant power in his body, his eyes filled with fighting spirit.
He raised his head and looked at Ross, a sneer on his face.
"Rose, the game has just begun!"
Ross's face darkened. He didn't expect Chu Feng still had the strength to fight back.
He snorted coldly, and his figure flashed, appearing in front of Chu Feng in an instant.
"Since you are seeking death, I will grant your wish!" A black dagger appeared in his hand, emitting a heart-pounding evil aura.
"Ross! You actually..." Dr. Ocean looked at Ross in horror. He didn't expect that Ross would stand on the side of the evil spirit.
Ross ignored Dr. Ocean and pointed the dagger at Chu Feng, his eyes filled with murderous intent. "Go to hell!"
The black dagger cut through the air and headed straight for Chu Feng's face with a sharp scream.
Chu Feng dodged to the side and barely avoided the fatal blow.
The dagger grazed his cheek, leaving a shallow trace of blood.
Ross's attacks were swift and vicious, each one aimed directly at the vital points.
"Chu Feng, be careful!" Pan Yue waved his sword to block the evil spirit attacking from the side.
These creatures controlled by evil shadows move in strange ways and their attacks are hard to defend against.
Chu Feng and Pan Yue stood back to back, covering each other and dealing with the enemy in the narrow passage of the ruins.
"Hold on, Chu Feng! Pan Yue!" Dr. Ocean shouted anxiously while hiding behind a huge rock.
Although he has no fighting ability, he has been cheering Chu Feng and the others up and providing information about the terrain of the ruins.
"Left, there is a secret passage on the left!"
Chu Feng and Pan Yue looked at each other tacitly and immediately understood Dr. Ocean's intention.
They fought and retreated, moving in the direction indicated by Dr. Ocean.
Ross sneered, and his figure followed closely like a ghost.
"Want to escape? It's not that easy!"
The roar of the evil spirit echoed in the ruins, like a devilish voice demanding death.
Chu Feng felt that his physical strength was rapidly depleting. Ross's attacks became more and more fierce, and the wounds on his body became more and more.
But he did not retreat at all, because he knew that he had to persevere, for Pan Yue, for Dr. Ocean, and for all the innocent people controlled by the evil shadow.
They finally arrived at the entrance of the secret passage. Pan Yue kicked away the rubble blocking the way and pulled Chu Feng in.
Ross followed closely behind, and the black dagger with a sharp cold light stabbed at Chu Feng's back.
"Chu Feng!" Pan Yue shouted, violently pushing Chu Feng away. The dagger pierced Pan Yue's shoulder, and blood instantly stained his clothes red.
Chu Feng's eyes widened as he supported Pan Yue, his eyes filled with anger and self-blame.
Ross stood at the entrance of the secret passage with a smug smile on his face. He was surrounded by densely packed evil spirits, approaching step by step... "It's over."
