The autumn rain was gentle and silent, but the cold north wind had already begun to blow. It would soon be winter.
On a small slope that had collapsed, a young figure in black clothes was constantly digging up the soil and gravel with his hands.
The rain drenched his hair, and the cold wind blew across his body. His thin figure seemed to collapse at the touch.
If one were to look at him from the front, one would find that the young man's eyes were lifeless. He was just repeating the same action. The rain did not seep into the mask, but there were water droplets flowing out from the inside of the mask.
This despondent and crying child was the high-spirited Zhan Feng not long ago. However, after the battle with Yu Gui, Zhan Feng's pride had been completely shattered. As a Dark Enforcer, Zhan Feng was not mature enough. This time, he could not keep Yu Gui or save the people that Yu Gui had kidnapped.
He was still holding onto a glimmer of hope. He kept digging through the soil with his hands as if he was holding onto a life-saving straw. He begged, hoping that someone would survive. He did not dare to use his true qi to open a passage. If there were people alive below, but the soil was washed away by his true qi, the huge pressure would kill those people's last trace of life.
No matter how deep this cave was, I would use my own hands to dig out a path. Even if it was the cruel reality, I would still personally confirm it. Even if it was vicious words, I would still personally accept them. As long as it wasn't the end, I would definitely persevere. This was Zhan Feng's final insistence, and also his last chance.
His hands were not wrapped in True Qi and were already covered in wounds. Blood was seeping out of his fingertips and flowing into the soil. The soil and gravel that Zhan Feng had thrown aside were dark red in color. This meant that Zhan Feng had lost an unknown amount of blood. The ten fingers were connected to the heart, but this pain was less than one ten-thousandth of the heartache for Zhan Feng.
At this moment, Zhan Feng was still blaming himself. Ever since Zhan Feng started to understand things, he rarely revealed his fragile side in front of others. Ever since he entered the cultivation world, he gritted his teeth and persevered no matter how hard it was or how tired he was. Every time Wan Xiaolu came, Zhan Feng would face her with a sunny smile.
However, the current Zhan Feng was like an injured child. He had no one to rely on in the storm, but he still lowered his head and continued forward. Even if he did not know where the path was, he still had to take one step at a time. To Zhan Feng, there was no need to care about anything or think about it. He was now completely immersed in regret. Just as Yu Gui had said, this was all his fault. He could only taste the bitter fruit of the karma he had sown.
After digging for an unknown period of time, Zhan Feng finally found a hand. His eyes immediately regained some vigor as he quickly dug up the soil and said,""Live, you must live.”
However, the cruel reality shattered Zhan Feng's fantasy. At this moment, there was a lifeless female corpse. It was obvious that she had been crushed to death by the collapsing soil and rocks.
Tears flowed out of Zhan Feng's red and swollen eyes again. He hugged the female corpse with both hands and flew out of the pit. He laid her flat on the ground and then returned to the pit to continue digging.
One, two, three…Many bones were dug out, but they were all dead. Not a single one was alive. Every corpse that appeared was like a knife stabbing Zhan Feng's heart.
Zhan Feng was almost possessed. A total of 18 corpses surrounded the pit. Looking at these corpses, Zhan Feng was heartbroken. I wanted to save Boren, but Boren died because of me. This was the best description of Zhan Feng right now.
However, Zhan Feng discovered a detail. Among the eighteen corpses, there were ten female corpses, but none of them looked like Bai Yan's father. This discovery made Zhan Feng's originally dim eyes light up again. He immediately returned to the pit and quickly dug around, hoping for a glimmer of hope.
Suddenly, Zhan Feng's hand touched a soft spot. This made Zhan Feng overjoyed. Although it was very weak, there was still some warmth. Zhan Feng's hands quickly dug the ground. Suddenly, a woman who looked somewhat similar to the middle-aged man appeared in front of Zhan Feng. Although the movement was very small, her chest was still rising and falling slightly. Zhan Feng immediately injected his True Qi into the woman's body. Even if it was just one, it was fine. As long as he could save one, as long as he could save one, he would pay any price. Zhan Feng roared in his heart.
It turned out that Bai Yan's position had formed a small space when it collapsed. Although she was pressed down, she could still breathe. Even if there was only a trace of turbid air, she had broken countless bones in her body. It was already extremely strong for her to survive until now.
As Zhan Feng's Genuine Qi flowed into Bai Yan's body, she gradually woke up.
The moment she opened her eyes, she saw a pair of ecstatic eyes peeking out from the white mask.
"That's great, you're not dead yet, you're not dead yet." Just you wait, I'll treat you right away. Don't die, please don't die.”Bai Yan felt it, and her hands that were hugging her were extremely excited. She held onto her body tightly.
However, Bai Yan knew very well that she did not have long to live. She opened her mouth and said in a voice as weak as a mosquito flying,"Don't waste your energy. I can't take it anymore. I hope that you can tell my parents and let them live on…strong.”Feeling the warmth from the small hand behind her back, Bai Yan forced out a sentence.
Zhan Feng was slightly mad." No, don't die. I won't allow you to die. Live. Live."”
Although Bai Yan did not know why the cave had collapsed, she could tell from the boy's behavior that it had a lot to do with him. If he died like this, then this child would definitely regret it for the rest of his life. Bai Yan decided to use the last of her strength to save him. So he said with difficulty,"Thank you, thank you for saving me."”
Zhan Feng shook his head and shouted heartbreakingly,""No, you can't thank me. You can't. I'm the one who caused all of this. It's better for you to scold me than to thank me.”
Bai Yan chuckled. Her delicate face was pale, and blood flowed from the corner of her mouth. She said,"You don't have to blame yourself like this. Even if you didn't come to save me, I wouldn't have lived for long. By the way, I still don't know your name. Can you tell me? I'm dying anyway, so you don't have to worry about leaking it.”
Zhan Feng immediately took off his mask and shouted,""No need. You must survive. It doesn't matter if you leak it. Listen carefully, I am the second Dark Enforcer. My name is Zhan Feng.”
Bai Yan laughed even harder." That's great. It's the Dark Enforcer. I've heard about the legend of the Dark Enforcer since I was young. Although I don't know why he did that, I still believe in his legend. Now, I finally see the person who continues this legend. I didn't expect it to be such a little boy. It's really not…wrong…" Suddenly, Bai Yan's head drooped.
Zhan Feng's eyes were bloodshot. He frantically increased the output of his True Qi, but it was to no avail.
Zhan Feng shouted at the top of his lungs," You can't die! Come back to life!"”In the end, Zhan Feng stopped transferring his zhenqi. He was already dead and would not return. The rain had blurred his vision. Zhan Feng was in an extremely dangerous state now. If he was not careful, his mind would shatter, and Zhan Feng would forever become an idiot.
This huge and heavy blow could only be left to Zhan Feng. A nine-year-old child like him had walked out alone and shouldered it, and no one could help him.
Zhan Feng, who had been kneeling in the pit for a long time, slowly stood up. He picked up Bai Yan's corpse and flew into the sky. Then, with a wave of his hand, he threw the eighteen corpses and a number of bones into the pit. Then, with a palm strike, he collapsed the mounds on both sides and buried the corpses.
Then, he cut out a tree trunk from the forest at the side and pressed it into the ground. On it was written," This is my sin. I will definitely bring back Yu Gui's head to pay homage to everyone." The sinner stands."
Zhan Feng could only leave behind these words to express his sincerity. He could not leave his name here.
After doing all this, Zhan Feng carried Bai Yan's corpse back to Bai Yan's house.
The moment Zhan Feng landed, he saw Bai Yan's father standing at the door. Just like him, Bai Yan's father's clothes were drenched. From the moment Zhan Feng left, he could tell that Bai Yan's father had not entered the house and had been waiting for him to return.
Zhan Feng felt extremely bitter, but he had to accept reality. He handed Bai Yan's corpse to the other party and said,""Uncle, I'm sorry. I couldn't save your daughter and let that guy escape. This is all my fault. If not for me…"
Bai Yan's father looked at Bai Yan's face with doting eyes and interrupted Zhan Feng softly, saying,""There's no need to be like this. Everything is destined. I won't blame you. Yan 'er, let's go home."
When Zhan Feng saw Bai Yan's father's strange behavior, a very bad thought arose in his heart. He hurriedly said,"Uncle, Bai Yan asked you and Auntie to live on with your strong will. Also, the enemy who killed Miss Bai Yan is not dead yet. Don't you want to see that day?”
Bai Yan's father gently said to Zhan Feng,""There's no need. Yan 'er is our life's hope. Now that she's gone, we can't live anymore. However, can you listen to my last request?”
Zhan Feng clenched his fists tightly. He felt extremely uncomfortable, but he still gritted his teeth and insisted,""Please say it."
Bai Yan's father said with extreme hatred,""Please, kill that person and avenge Yan 'er.”
"Of course, please rest assured," Zhan Feng said firmly.”
Bai Yan's father nodded in relief. He walked into the house and closed the door. Then, he set the entire house on fire.
Zhan Feng looked at the family that had died, and his powerlessness resurfaced once again. The oath he had made and the agreement he had made were completely lost at this moment.
"I swear, Yu Gui," Zhan Feng said through gritted teeth,"I'll cut you into a thousand pieces. Otherwise, Bai Yan's family and those innocent people who died unjustly would not be able to rest in peace.”
