Chapter 159 The Seriously Injured Xu Tian

"This knife is still easy to use." Lin Feng's mouth corners slightly raised, revealing a satisfied smile.

Lin Feng carefully examined the Star Blade. Its blade was slender and flowing, resembling a traditional Tang Dynasty sword. The blade gleamed with a cold, icy light, as if it could sever all obstacles in the world.

"Although it looks like an ordinary Tang sword, it is called Xingchen, so it must have something extraordinary about it." Lin Feng whispered to himself, his eyes full of curiosity and desire to explore.

Lin Feng decided to try to focus his Qi on the blade to see what would happen. As he slowly channeled his Qi into the blade, the Star Blade suddenly began to tremble slightly, emitting a faint glow.

Immediately afterwards, a mysterious field with a radius of approximately five meters slowly formed, centered around the knife. The air within the field seemed to grow thicker, emitting a strange wave.

Lin Feng widened his eyes in surprise, looking at the scene in disbelief.

"This... what's going on? This has never happened before." Lin Feng's voice trembled slightly, his heart full of confusion and shock.

He frowned and fell into deep thought.

Suddenly, Lin Feng seemed to have thought of something, and a glimmer of enlightenment flashed in his eyes.

"Could it be because of the power of heaven and earth? I have absorbed a little bit of the power of heaven and earth before. Could it be that my true energy now also carries the aura of the power of heaven and earth, thereby activating this unique ability of the Star Sword?" Lin Feng muttered to himself, with a bit of excitement and anticipation in his voice.

To further confirm his conjecture, Lin Feng once again slowly channeled the power of heaven and earth within his body into the Star Blade. As the power of heaven and earth continued to flow, the field formed by the Star Blade slowly expanded.

"It's true!" Lin Feng shouted excitedly, his face filled with excitement.

But soon, Lin Feng calmed down. He realized that although he had discovered the miraculous change of the Star Blade, the specific purpose and effect of this field were still unclear.

"Now is not the time to delve deeper. The most urgent thing is to recover to the best condition first. Otherwise, if we go directly into the city like this, I'm afraid we will never come back." Lin Feng thought secretly in his heart.

Then, Lin Feng found a relatively flat and dry place and sat down cross-legged. He slowly closed his eyes, adjusted his breathing, and gradually calmed his mind.

A moment later, Lin Feng began to circulate the Mystical Spirit Secret Manual. The Qi in his body flowed rapidly through his meridians like a surging river. A faint glow gradually appeared around him, flickering continuously as the Qi flowed, illuminating the surrounding darkness.

During the practice, Lin Feng's expression was sometimes solemn, sometimes relaxed. He could feel the true energy constantly repairing his tired body and nourishing his damaged meridians.

Time passed minute by minute, and the air in the cave seemed to solidify, with only the sound of Lin Feng's even and deep breathing.

After an unknown amount of time, Lin Feng slowly opened his eyes, and a sharp light flashed across his eyes.

"Finally, I'm almost recovered." Lin Feng stood up, stretched his limbs, and felt the power filling his body.

He looked at the Star Knife in his hand again, thoughtfully.

"We'll slowly explore the secret of this knife later." Lin Feng said as he put away the Star Knife.

Afterwards, Lin Feng walked out of the cave with firm steps and headed towards Xihai City.

It was already late at night, and inky darkness enveloped the earth, with only a few sparse stars twinkling faintly in the distant sky. The north gate of Xihai City looked particularly solemn in the night, its massive tower standing there like a silent giant.

Xu Tian, ​​the once high-spirited young man, now dragged his wounded body as he struggled toward the city gate. His steps were unsteady, each one akin to exhausting all his strength. His clothes were already tattered, stained beyond recognition by blood and dirt, the tattered strips fluttering feebly in the wind. His face was smeared with dirt, mud mixed with blood, obscuring his once handsome features. His hair was tangled like ramie, scattered wildly, obscuring his eyes filled with exhaustion and despair.

Xu Tian's eyes were fixed firmly on the direction of the city gate, which was his only hope. His lips were dry and cracked, and he was breathing heavily, groaning in pain from time to time, but his steps did not stop for a moment.

Suddenly, a figure appeared behind Xu Tian like a ghost. Lin Feng looked at the almost unrecognizable Xu Tian in front of him, and an indescribable shock and grief surged in his heart.

"Xu Tian!" Lin Feng's voice rang out in the silent night sky, filled with disbelief and concern.

Xu Tian turned his head with difficulty when he heard the familiar voice. The moment he saw Lin Feng, a spark of hope instantly ignited in his eyes, and a hint of brilliance appeared in his originally dim eyes.

Xu Tian seemed to have grabbed a life-saving straw. He used up his last bit of strength and tried to speed up his pace to walk towards Lin Feng.

"Lin Feng..." His voice was hoarse and weak, as if it was squeezed out from a broken throat, carrying endless pain and expectation.

However, his body had already exceeded its limit. Before he could take two steps, his legs gave way and he fell forward.

Lin Feng rushed up instantly and hugged Xu Tian.

"Xu Tian, ​​what is going on? Was it someone from the Chu family who did this?" Lin Feng's voice was anxious and angry, his eyes filled with heartache for his brother and anger towards his enemies.

Xu Tian no longer had the strength to answer Lin Feng's question. His lips trembled as he squeezed out a few words from between his teeth with difficulty: "Quick, quick, quick save Zi Yan, she, she, is in the Chu, Chu family." After saying that, he closed his eyes, tilted his head, and fainted completely.

"Xu Tian! Xu Tian!" Lin Feng shouted anxiously, his voice full of fear and worry.

But Xu Tian didn't respond, and Lin Feng's heart sank instantly. Without thinking too much, he carried Xu Tian on his back and turned to run towards the Sea Breeze Mountains.

Lin Feng felt extremely heavy-hearted along the way. The night wind blew against his face, but he didn't feel the chill at all. His heart was filled with worry about Xu Tian's injury and anxiety about Zi Yan's safety.

Back in the cave, Lin Feng gently put Xu Tian down and let him sit cross-legged. He also sat cross-legged behind Xu Tian, ​​placed his hands on his back, and began to mobilize the Qi in his body to heal Xu Tian.

Lin Feng's face was solemn, with beads of sweat on his forehead. He closed his eyes tightly, concentrating on controlling the flow of his Qi, slowly transferring the Qi he had cultivated into Xu Tian's body.

Xu Tian's body trembled from time to time, and a pained expression appeared on his face. Lin Feng's heart also tightened. He gritted his teeth, increased the flow of Qi, and silently prayed in his heart that Xu Tian could survive this.
