Chapter 160 Xu Tian's Self-blame

The cave was filled with a tense atmosphere, with only the sound of Lin Feng's heavy breathing and Xu Tian's faint moans.

Time passed minute by minute, the night grew darker, and moonlight poured in through the cracks in the cave, shining on Lin Feng and Xu Tian, ​​casting long shadows.

Lin Feng's clothes were already soaked with sweat, and his hair was wet and stuck to his face, but his hands never left Xu Tian's back, and he kept on transmitting true energy.

I don’t know how long it took, but the sky turned pale, the sun gradually rose, and the warm sunlight poured into the cave.

Lin Feng slowly withdrew his hands. His body was exhausted, as if all his strength had been drained away. His face was pale, his eyes were bloodshot, and he was sweating profusely.

Although Xu Tian's injuries were treated overnight, they were still very serious and had only recovered less than one-third.

Lin Feng gently laid Xu Tian flat, allowing him to rest comfortably. He leaned against the cave wall and began to adjust his breathing, recovering the energy he had consumed all night.

Lin Feng closed his eyes, and kept thinking about what Xu Tian said before he fell into coma.

"Zi Yan, Chu family..." Lin Feng murmured to himself, secretly vowing in his heart that he must rescue Zi Yan and avenge Xu Tian.

Xu Tian kept talking nonsense in his coma, sometimes calling Zi Yan's name, and sometimes groaning in pain. Every time Lin Feng heard it, he would open his eyes and check on him, his eyes full of concern and worry.

"Xu Tian, ​​you must hold on. We will definitely get through this difficult time." Lin Feng said softly, with firm conviction in his voice.

After a while, Lin Feng felt that his true energy had recovered a little. He stood up, walked to the cave entrance, and looked at the world outside which was gradually becoming lively, but his heart was filled with confusion and heaviness.

Lin Feng returned to Xu Tian and checked his injuries again. He found that Xu Tian's external injuries had begun to heal, but his internal injuries still required a long period of recuperation.

"Xu Tian, ​​don't worry, I won't let anything happen to you." Lin Feng said softly, as if making a solemn promise to the unconscious Xu Tian.

The atmosphere in the cave was still solemn. Lin Feng stayed beside Xu Tian and did not dare to relax for a moment.

At this moment, Xu Tian seemed to be trapped in an endless nightmare. In his dream, he saw the ferocious faces of the Chu family and the painful appearance of Zi Yan being imprisoned. He wanted to break free and save Zi Yan, but he could not move.

"No!" Xu Tian suddenly shouted, his body shaking violently.

Lin Feng quickly held him down and comforted him softly, "Xu Tian, ​​don't be afraid. I'm here. Everything will be fine."

Xu Tian slowly calmed down, but his brows were still furrowed and his face was full of pain.

Lin Feng looked at Xu Tian, ​​his heart filled with heartache and anger. He wanted to rush to the Chu family and fight them to the death. But he knew that now was not the time. He had to let Xu Tian recover before they could face the Chu family together.

"Xu Tian, ​​you must get better soon. Let's go save Zi Yan together and take revenge together." Lin Feng clenched his fists and swore secretly.

After a while, Xu Tian's breathing finally became more stable and his complexion became a little better. Lin Feng finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Xu Tian, ​​you must wake up soon." Lin Feng said softly, his eyes full of anticipation.

Outside the cave, the sunlight grew stronger and stronger, and birds sang happily on the branches, as if telling of the hope of a new day. But inside the cave, Lin Feng and Xu Tian were still struggling with their fate.

Lin Feng knew that their road ahead was still long and full of unknowns and dangers, but he believed that as long as they worked together, nothing could stop them from moving forward.

As time went by, Xu Tian's condition gradually stabilized, but he still hadn't regained consciousness. Lin Feng waited patiently while thinking about his next plan.

He recalled the happy times he spent with Xu Tian and Zi Yan; those carefree days seemed like they were just yesterday.

"Chu family, you will definitely pay the price for what you have done." A hint of determination and resoluteness flashed in Lin Feng's eyes.

At noon, the sun shone directly into the cave, bringing some heat. Lin Feng gently wiped Xu Tian's forehead with a wet cloth, hoping to make him feel more comfortable.

Xu Tian's fingers suddenly moved, and Lin Feng suddenly became nervous, staring at Xu Tian intently.

"Xu Tian, ​​Xu Tian, ​​can you hear me?" Lin Feng called anxiously.

Xu Tian's eyelids trembled slightly, but he still didn't open his eyes. Lin Feng's heart was filled with anticipation and some worry.

In the afternoon, Xu Tian's health showed some signs of improvement, and Lin Feng felt a little more relaxed.

"Xu Tian, ​​just hold on a little longer, you'll be fine soon." Lin Feng said softly.

As night fell like black silk, the cold moonlight filtered through the cracks in the cave, casting a shadow on Xu Tian's haggard face. His tightly closed eyes trembled slightly before finally opening. The moment he regained consciousness, Xu Tian's mind was completely devoid of any thoughts about his current location; instead, it was filled with worry and anxiety for Zi Yan.

"Hurry, hurry and save Zi Yan, save Zi Yan!" Xu Tian sat up suddenly, shouting at the top of his lungs. The sound seemed to burst out from the depths of his soul, filled with endless fear and despair. His eyes were bloodshot, his expression frantic, and his hands grasped at the air, as if trying to grasp at the slightest hope of saving Zi Yan.

Lin Feng was originally standing aside, but when he heard Xu Tian's call, he immediately rushed to his side.

"Xu Tian, ​​calm down! Calm down!" Lin Feng grabbed Xu Tian's arms tightly, trying to calm him down.

Xu Tian turned his gaze to Lin Feng, tears welling up in his eyes like a flood. He suddenly rushed towards Lin Feng, hugged him tightly, and his body trembled continuously.

"Lin Feng, it's all my fault. I failed to protect her." Xu Tian's voice was filled with pain and self-blame, and every word seemed soaked with tears. "I was injured in the explosion at home and passed out. When I woke up, I was captured by the Chu family and then locked up in the city's prison. It was Zi Yan who rescued me despite the danger. We fled desperately. But in the end, I don't know how Zi Yan went to the Chu family's base alone and was captured." Xu Tian cried and pounded his chest hard. "I'm really useless. I couldn't even save her."

Lin Feng felt Xu Tian's grief, and his heart ached. He patted Xu Tian's back gently, his voice gentle but firm.

"Xu Tian, ​​don't be like this. This isn't your fault." Lin Feng's eyes were filled with pity. "You're so excited right now. It's extremely detrimental to your wound's recovery. You need to calm down first."
