Time Travel: The Survival of Li Zhi

Chapter 318 Li Zhi vs Duan Heng

Li Zhi clearly felt a sense of crisis coming from behind him, as if it were real. It felt like countless cold steel needles piercing straight into his back, making his back numb.

However, facing such a strong aura of danger, there was no sign of panic on Li Zhi's face, and he remained as calm as water.

Not only did he not choose to dodge, but he took the initiative to lean forward.

At the same time, the Qi in Li Zhi's body exploded violently like a gunpowder barrel that was ignited in an instant. A majestic and powerful force spread out in all directions with his body as the center.

In an instant, a ball of brown light mixed with orange-red light burst out from Li Zhi. The light was dazzling, like a strange sun suddenly rising from the darkness, emitting a powerful aura that made people dare not look directly at it.

This ball of light, carrying the surging power in Li Zhi's body, hit the momentum behind Li Zhi directly. The two collided with each other, as if two turbulent torrents hit each other. For a moment, the entire arena was filled with an invisible sense of oppression.

A crisp "pop" sound suddenly rang out. The sound was particularly harsh in the tense atmosphere, like a thunderclap out of the blue, breaking the momentary stalemate.

Li Zhi took advantage of the reaction force generated by the collision and jumped high into the air.

And the next second, a nine-ring broadsword with a cold glow and a sharp sound of wind blew heavily at the place where Li Zhi had originally stood.

When the sword fell, it brought up a whistling sound, and made a dull thud when it collided with the ground. For a moment, dust flew and gravel splashed everywhere, which showed how powerful this blow was.

Duan Heng's attack failed, and a hint of imperceptible surprise flashed in his eyes, but he did not hesitate at all. He exerted force with his feet suddenly, and it seemed that he had left two shallow footprints on the stage under his feet.

He looked like a tiger descending from a mountain, with great momentum, and rushed towards the direction where Li Zhi was again.

He was extremely fast and in the blink of an eye he had closed the distance between himself and Li Zhi, raising the nine-ring broadsword in his hand high again.

Li Zhi's face turned grim, and without any hesitation, he quickly stretched out his arm and touched his waist.

In an instant, a seemingly ordinary wood carving knife appeared in his hand.

Li Zhi took a deep breath, and then exhaled slowly. As he inhaled and exhaled, the powerful Qi in his body, like a rushing river, continuously poured into the knife in his hand.

The next moment, the originally ordinary wood carving knife suddenly burst into a dazzling light. The light was so bright, like a scorching sun suddenly rising in the hand, making it almost impossible to open one's eyes.

Then, the knife quickly stretched and deformed under the wrapping of the light, and soon turned into a light knife emitting strong light.

As soon as the light blade took shape, Li Zhi shook his wrist violently, and the light blade slashed straight forward, just blocking Duan Heng's nine-ring broadsword, which was coming at him with great force and a sharp wind.

The two collided with each other, making a crisp sound of metal clashing, sparks flying, and light flashing. For a moment, the arena seemed to be lit up.

When Duan Heng saw this, a glimmer of surprise flashed in his eyes. Obviously, he did not expect that Li Zhi actually had such a trick up his sleeve.

However, this surprise was only fleeting. The arrogance in Duan Heng's bones still made him not take Li Zhi seriously.

He just snorted coldly, exerted force with both hands suddenly, veins bulged on his arms, and the powerful force was instantly transmitted through the Nine-Ring Sword, and suddenly pressed down towards Li Zhi. He wanted to rely on his brute force to suppress Li Zhi and make him unable to fight back.

Li Zhi clearly felt the overwhelming force transmitted by the lightsaber. The force was so great that it seemed to crush him completely. He couldn't help but frown slightly, knowing in his heart that if he fought hard at this moment, he would probably get nothing.

So, he made a prompt decision, tapped his feet repeatedly, and quickly retreated backwards to relieve the huge force applied to him by Duan Heng.

Seeing Li Zhi retreat, Duan Heng was not willing to give up. Without any hesitation, he rushed towards Li Zhi again like a cheetah smelling blood.

But at this moment, an accident happened. The ground under Duan Heng's feet suddenly became soft, like a swamp. A strong suction force was instantly generated, sucking his feet tightly and making him unable to move.

The more Duan Heng struggled, the stronger the suction became. For a moment, his fierce attack was forced to stop.

Li Zhi, on the other hand, seemed to be walking on flat ground and was not affected by the soft ground at all.

Seeing this good opportunity, he stopped retreating instantly without any hesitation, kicked the ground with his feet, and rushed towards Duan Heng like an arrow, with the light knife in his hand heading straight for Duan Heng.

However, just as the lightsaber in Li Zhi's hand swept towards Duan Heng fiercely, a purple-blue light suddenly burst out of Duan Heng's eyes. At the same time, the nine-ring broadsword in his hand also instantly emitted a purple-blue light, which enveloped the entire broadsword.

Duan Heng shouted loudly, turned his wrist suddenly, and swung his backhand knife towards Li Zhi's light knife.

"Bang!" There was a sudden muffled sound, and the sound was like thunder exploding in the ears, making the ears buzz.

Li Zhi's hand holding the knife suddenly felt a tingling sensation, as if thousands of tiny needles were piercing into it at the same time, causing unbearable pain.

Immediately afterwards, a chilly aura flowed along his arm, like an icy poisonous snake, and quickly spread into his body, trying to invade his body and destroy the flow of Qi in his body.

However, the moment this cold and gloomy energy entered Li Zhi's body, it was as if it had hit a blazing fire, and was instantly burned by the extreme heat of Li Zhi's heart fire.

Although this cold and gloomy energy did not cause any substantial harm to Li Zhi, the sudden feeling of invasion still made Li Zhi's attack involuntarily pause, and his body stiffened slightly, giving Duan Heng an opportunity to take advantage.

Duan Heng also captured this opportunity very keenly. He gritted his teeth, exerted all his strength, and struggled violently. He finally broke free from the slowly sinking ground.

Afterwards, he rolled over repeatedly to distance himself from Li Zhi.

At this time, Li Zhi also recovered. Looking at Duan Heng who was distancing himself from him, Li Zhi grinned. The area covered by his Qi transformation domain was enough to cover the entire arena.

At this moment, even though Duan Heng deliberately kept a distance from him, he was unable to leave Li Zhi's territory.

Li Zhi's eyes condensed, and he stomped his foot hard on the ground. With this heavy stomp, the entire arena seemed to tremble slightly. He then shouted in a low voice: "Bolang!"

All of a sudden, the ground began to surge violently, as if a huge rock was thrown into a calm lake, instantly causing waves to appear.

The waves, layer after layer, rose and fell, overlapping each other, carrying a powerful force, sweeping towards the direction where Duan Heng was. Wherever they passed, dust flew and the momentum was huge.

When Duan Heng saw this, a trace of obvious anger suddenly flashed in his eyes. Li Zhi's continuous attacks and taking the initiative made the arrogant Duan Heng very angry. He could no longer suppress his resentment and shouted suddenly.

Then, his whole body was instantly covered by a thick purple-blue light. The light revealed a cold and chilly aura, as if the surrounding air was instantly frozen, and a trace of chill spread in all directions.

"Ghost Sword Eight Slashes!"

Duan Heng's gloomy voice exploded!

Li Zhi's face changed.

The next moment, an extremely violent aura burst out from Duan Heng, like a surging tsunami, carrying the power to destroy the world, and blasted towards the direction where Li Zhi was.
