God Slayer: Make Up for the Past

Chapter 164: Deserted Village Matter Completed: New Ways to Watch the Night

The sound of horse hooves was getting closer and closer, raising a cloud of dust.

A dozen black knights, like ghosts from hell, quickly surrounded everyone.

They wore uniform black tights, had knives on their waists, had cold eyes, and exuded a chilling murderous aura.

Village chief Wang was so frightened that his face turned pale and he hid behind old villager Sun, trembling.

Old villager Sun was not in a much better condition. He tightly grasped the arm of Village Chief Wang, his lips trembling and unable to speak.

Liu Yue subconsciously moved closer to Chu Feng, her eyes full of worry.

The leading knight pulled the reins, and the black horse under his crotch raised its front hooves and neighed.

The knight looked down at Chu Feng and said arrogantly, "Are you Chu Feng?"

Chu Feng clenched his fists and looked him in the eye without fear: "It's me."

The knight sneered, "How dare you ruin our lord's good deeds? Today is the day you die!"

Pan Yue pulled Chu Feng's sleeve worriedly and whispered, "Chu Feng, these people don't look easy to deal with. We..."

"I know." Chu Feng interrupted Pan Yue, his eyes firm, "But we can't retreat. The duty of the Night's Watch is to protect the people, even at the cost of our lives."

He turned to look at Liu Yue, a hint of tenderness flashing in his eyes. "Wait for me to come back."

Liu Yue bit her lip, her eyes slightly red, but she finally nodded, took off a red amulet she had woven from her neck, and stuffed it into Chu Feng's hand.

"You must come back..."

Chu Feng held the amulet tightly in his palm, feeling the remaining warmth on it, and a warm feeling surged in his heart.

He took a deep breath and turned to face the black knight, a cold murderous aura emanating from him.

"I want to see who will die!"

The leading knight seemed enraged by Chu Feng's courage. He drew his sword from his waist, pointed it at Chu Feng, and shouted, "Kill him!"

The black knights responded in unison, spurring their horses and charging towards Chu Feng and Pan Yue.

Dust was flying, swords were flashing, and a fierce battle was about to break out... Chu Feng held the amulet given by Liu Yue tightly in his palm, and the touch of the rough hemp rope conveyed incomparable warmth.

He looked back at Liu Yue, and the worry and expectation in the girl's eyes turned into a firm strength in his heart.

After bidding farewell to Village Chief Wang and Old Villager Sun, Chu Feng and Pan Yue embarked on a new journey.

The setting sun stretched the shadows of the two people very long, and the wilderness wind carried sand and dust, making their clothes rustle.

Pan Yue looked back from time to time at the deserted village gradually disappearing on the horizon with a solemn expression.

"Chu Feng, where do those black knights come from? I feel like things aren't that simple."

Chu Feng looked ahead, his eyes sharp. "No matter who they are, if they dare to attack us, they must pay the price."

Just as he finished speaking, a sinister laugh suddenly came from the front, which made people shudder.

Immediately afterwards, dozens of black shadows rose from the ground and surrounded them like ghosts.

These dark shadows were tall, shrouded in black cloaks, their faces could not be seen clearly, and they held strange weapons in their hands, emitting a heart-pounding chill.

"Hehehe... How dare you ruin the good deeds of our 'Dark Night'? Today, you will never come back!" The leading black shadow made a harsh sound, like nails scratching on a blackboard, which made people shudder.

"Dark Night?" Pan Yue's expression changed. "It's said that this is an extremely mysterious and brutal organization, specializing in some shady activities. Even the Night's Watch headquarters is wary of them..."

"It seems we have hit a wall this time..." He swallowed, clenched the weapon in his hand, and cold sweat seeped out of his palms.

The dark shadows ignored Pan Yue's whispers. They approached slowly like well-trained hunting dogs, and the encirclement became smaller and smaller.

The air was filled with a strong murderous aura, making it hard to breathe.

Chu Feng felt unprecedented pressure, but he didn't flinch at all. Instead, he was filled with fighting spirit. "Pan Yue, back to back!"

The two men quickly adjusted their formation, standing back to back, watching the dark shadows around them vigilantly.

Chu Feng's eyes were as sharp as torches, scanning every shadow, trying to find their weaknesses.

The leading black figure seemed a little impatient. He waved his hand violently and issued a sharp command: "Attack! Don't spare any!"

The shadows instantly transformed into afterimages, rushing towards Chu Feng and Pan Yue. The flash of swords and the shadow of sabers were chilling.

Chu Feng's eyes flashed, and the sword in his hand drew a sharp arc of light, "Good timing!"

The sword light was like a silk thread, cutting through the silence of the night.

Chu Feng's long sword collided with the black shadow's strange weapon, bursting out dazzling sparks.

The attack methods of these black shadows are strange and unpredictable. Sometimes they are as erratic as ghosts, and sometimes they are as ferocious and violent as beasts.

The weapons in their hands were even more bizarre. Some looked like curved bone claws, some looked like sharp sickles, and some looked like whips with barbs.

Chu Feng and Pan Yue stood back to back, barely resisting the siege of the black shadows.

Pan Yue's weapon was a dagger. He was agile and could shuttle through the gaps in the shadows, delivering a fatal blow from time to time.

But the number of black shadows was too great, and their attacks came like a tide, one wave after another.

"Their attacks have a pattern!" Chu Feng keenly caught a clue in the fierce battle.

Although the black shadow's attack seemed chaotic, it followed a peculiar rhythm, like some strange dance.

After discovering this, Chu Feng began to adjust his fighting style.

He no longer resisted blindly, but followed the rhythm of the shadows' attacks and looked for their weaknesses.

His swordsmanship became more precise, and each sword strike hit the shadow's weak spot just right.

Pan Yue also quickly understood Chu Feng's intention. He coordinated with Chu Feng's rhythm, and the two of them worked together tacitly, like two sharp blades, tearing a hole in the encirclement of black shadows.

The shadows seemed to have noticed the change in the situation. Their offensive began to weaken, and they showed some panic.

"Retreat!" The leading black shadow let out a sharp cry, and the black shadows retreated like a tide, disappearing into the night.

Chu Feng and Pan Yue did not pursue, they knew that with their current strength, it would be futile to chase after him.

In the thatched cottage in the deserted village, Liu Yue looked in the direction where Chu Feng left, her eyes full of worry and longing.

She held tightly in her hand the copper coin left by Chu Feng, as if it was his only support.

She knew Chu Feng's mission and the responsibilities he shouldered. She could only pray for him silently, hoping that he would return safely.

Chu Feng and Pan Yue followed the direction where the black shadow disappeared and found a hidden path.

The path winds its way to an abandoned old house.

The gate of the ancient house was closed, and the surrounding weeds were overgrown, filled with a mysterious atmosphere.

Chu Feng pushed open the door of the ancient house, and a cold wind blew in his face... "Be careful..." Pan Yue grabbed Chu Feng's arm and said in a low voice.
