Time Travel: The Survival of Li Zhi

Sun Rou’s strength is actually quite good. The fact that she was able to stand out and become the champion is itself a proof of her strength.

Unfortunately, compared with Li Zhi, she is still slightly inferior.

Li Zhi seized upon Sun Rou's carelessness and directly engulfed her with a huge earth wave. She was defeated in an instant and had to leave the battlefield in disgrace.

After Li Zhi quickly defeated Sun Rou, his eyes fell on the stage where Duan Heng was.

Just at this moment, Duan Heng's opponent Wang Zhong was seen being chopped out of the field by Duan Heng's unstoppable sword.

The power of that knife was truly astonishing. Wherever the knife flashed, it seemed to tear the air apart. With an unstoppable momentum, Wang Zhong flew out of the field like a light leaf without any resistance, fell heavily to the ground, and raised a cloud of dust.

Obviously, Duan Heng was planning to end the war quickly and decisively.

Duan Heng wanted to conserve more physical strength and power so that he could go all out to deal with Li Zhi when the time comes.

After all, they have reached the final round now, and Duan Heng doesn't want to fail miserably.

Duan Heng turned his head to look at Li Zhi, a sinister smile slowly appearing on the corner of his mouth. That smile was filled with a bit of ruthlessness and arrogance, as if he had already secured victory.

He opened his mouth slightly, and although no sound came out, Li Zhi could clearly tell what he said from his mouth shape - next one is you!

Seeing this, Li Zhi narrowed his eyes slightly. He slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air, and then murmured softly: "Then let's try it!"

This distant clash of consciousness between the two sides was also keenly captured by the sharp-eyed audience below the stage.

For a moment, the atmosphere in the entire venue became extremely solemn before the two men actually started fighting, as if a thick layer of dark clouds was covering everyone's heads, making it difficult for them to breathe.

But what was surprising was that this solemn atmosphere made the audiences in the audience become very excited.

For them, this kind of fierce fight between top masters is just what they like.

They like to watch this kind of tit-for-tat, gunpowder-filled contest. Every exciting moment and every collision of power can make their blood boil, as if they are also in the fierce battle.

At this moment, there was a sudden noisy sound all around. Looking in the direction of the sound, it turned out that someone had opened the odds on the spot, shouting at the top of his voice, encouraging everyone to bet on the players they favored.

The person in charge of opening the market was standing in a prominent position, holding a sign with both parties' names on it, and introducing the rules and odds with excitement on his face.

Although the odds for both sides are the same at the moment, more people are optimistic about Duan Heng than those who are optimistic about Li Zhi.

This is not difficult to understand. Although Li Zhi has won three consecutive games, he has fully proved to everyone that his strength should not be underestimated.

But Duan Heng is different. He is a reserve soldier and has stayed in the capital for a long time. He shows up quite a few times, whether he is sparring with others or performing tasks.

Compared to Li Zhi's notoriety of killing his master, everyone was more familiar with Duan Heng's methods and knew more clearly how terrifying his strength was, so they were more inclined to believe that Duan Heng would win this contest, and that's why they placed their bets on him.

Even Zhao Wuji and Situ Han ignored the people who gathered together in the audience, making a lot of noise and placing bets, as if they were used to such lively scenes.

After all, they have experienced this kind of situation many times, and sometimes when they are in the mood, they will join in for some fun.

Just today, when he heard that most people chose to bet on Duan Heng, a rather strange smile suddenly appeared on Situ Han's face.

He first coughed lightly, cleared his throat, then slowly shook his head, as if he had a different opinion on everyone's choice.

Then, he walked at a leisurely pace and went straight to the man who was sitting in a prominent position and was in charge of being the banker.

When the people around saw this, they all showed curious expressions on their faces and stared at Situ Han intently.

They knew that judging from Situ Han's behavior, he wanted to get involved.

Everyone was filled with curiosity and doubt, wondering whether Situ Han was planning to bet on a clear win like them.

As for Situ Han, it seemed that he didn't notice the different expressions of the crowd at all. He calmly took out a bulging purse from his arms, flicked his wrist slightly, and dropped the purse steadily on the place where Li Zhi's name was written.

Then, Situ Han raised his voice and said firmly: "I bet on Li Zhi to win!"

These four simple words were like a bolt from the blue in this noisy place, instantly making the people around him suddenly quiet down. The whole scene suddenly became silent, and everyone's eyes were fixed on Situ Han, with surprise in their eyes.

At this time, a man from the Night Patrol Department bravely asked Situ Han cautiously, "Deputy Chief, why are you so optimistic that Li Zhi can win Duan Heng?"

Situ Han still had a faint smile on his face when he heard this. He glanced at the person who asked the question and said slowly, "I can't guarantee whether I can win. I'm just having fun and adding interest to you who are betting."

As soon as he said this, the people around him were immediately caught in a dilemma. For a moment, they were unsure whether to continue betting on Duan Heng or switch to betting on Li Zhi.

The originally determined minds began to waver, everyone whispered to each other, and the atmosphere in the whole place became more and more subtle.

Just when everyone was hesitating and discussing, a loud voice suddenly rang out, which made everyone excited again and turned to look.

"Since Situ has chosen to bet on Li Zhi, I will also join in the fun. I will bet on Duanheng."

Zhao Wuji walked over with big strides, a smile on his face. He looked relaxed, as if he was just here to join in the fun.

Seeing this, Situ Han looked up at Zhao Wuji, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and said with a smile: "The chief minister doesn't want to pay the money, but he wants to refuse to pay after losing?"

There was a hint of sarcasm in his words and a hint of mischief in his eyes.

Zhao Wuji rolled his eyes at Situ Han and said unhappily, "I was in a hurry to go out today and forgot to bring money. Remember..."

He spoke with confidence and didn't feel there was anything wrong with it.

How could the man who was in charge of being the banker dare to say "no"? Although he felt helpless in his heart, he quickly put on a smile on his face and nodded in agreement.

Situ Han glanced at the banker, and his eyes unconsciously revealed a sense of pity for that man.

Others may not know, but Situ Han knows it very clearly: although the chief minister looks bright and beautiful on the surface, he is actually a deadbeat.

Zhao Wuji seemed to have noticed Situ Han's hidden expression, and he suddenly felt annoyed and angry. He glared at Situ Han unhappily.

Then, without waiting for Situ Han's response, he reached out and pulled Situ Han to the side, saying as he walked: "Okay, after placing your bets, go host the game, don't hang around here..."

It was as if he was afraid that Situ Han would say a few more words and reveal his not-so-glorious past.
