Time Travel: The Survival of Li Zhi

Li Zhi lowered his head tightly, and his body was scratched painfully by the aftermath of the explosion caused by the collision between the demonic energy bead and the huge, withered and gray palm.

He felt as if his body was being torn apart, and every wave that passed through was like a blunt knife scraping across his body.

The five ghosts were blown away to an unknown place by the impact of the explosion. Fortunately, the first and most violent impact was offset to some extent by the five ghosts.

After this most powerful impact blew away Li Zhi's five little ghosts, the aftermath was blocked by Li Zhi's black sword.

The black sword trembled constantly, and Li Zhi was horrified to find that under the impact, the scarlet eyes on the black sword actually closed one by one.

The phantom of the centipede with a hundred eyes that was entangled around Li Zhi was also screaming and howling constantly, but although it twisted its body and struggled desperately, it just stayed by Li Zhi tightly without retreating at all.

Under the sweep of the aftermath of the impact, the hundred-eyed centipede finally couldn't hold on anymore. It howled softly and then began to disperse.

The last open eye on the black sword also closed at the same time. The closed eyes twisted and changed, and finally turned into runes again.

Li Zhi's various methods finally weakened the attacks he received by 70%.

But now he had no other means to deal with it, and he had to bite the bullet and withstand the remaining 30% of the attack's power alone.

After being washed away by multiple aftermaths, Li Zhi no longer felt the pain in his body and his entire body was numb.

Li Zhi knew that if he took off his clothes at this moment, he would definitely find his body covered in bruises and a horrible sight, with every inch of his skin probably covered in bruises and scars.

Gradually, I felt that everything around me was slowly calming down.

Only then did Li Zhi raise his head stiffly.

I saw that the darkness that shrouded the surroundings had been dispelled at some point, and was replaced by a clear sky with no clouds in sight.

There was no mess around, no signs of having been ravaged, and the mansion was in perfect order, as if nothing had happened. This made Li Zhi dazed and he almost thought it was just a dream.

However, he immediately noticed something that didn't fit in with the surroundings.

Li Zhi's eyes lit up, he rushed over, picked up the thing and put it in his arms.

After he finished doing all this, he belatedly felt the tearing pain coming from his body, which made him grimace in pain.

"I didn't expect that I could help you break through this den of evil..."

A voice sounded, and Li Zhi looked back while enduring the pain.

Fang Jie was seen walking towards him, his eyes were bright, his face was a little pale, but it was obvious that the explosion just now did not cause much damage to him.

Li Zhi shook his head with a wry smile. That demonic bead was comparable to a full-strength attack from a great demon. Li Zhi had long known that it was enough to break into this den of evil, but this killer weapon must be hidden as a trump card.

Who would have thought that the sudden appearance of the withered giant hand would force Li Zhi to use it.

Although Li Zhi has resisted the strange giant hand and successfully broke through the ghost den, the biggest trump card in Li Zhi's hand has been exhausted. He himself was seriously injured, and the five ghosts were also seriously injured. Even the black sword fell into a deep sleep.

Li Zhi is in his weakest condition and he is still in danger!

He glanced at Fang Jie inadvertently, and a look of vigilance flashed in his eyes.

As if sensing Li Zhi's defensiveness and hostility, Fang Jie stopped not far from Li Zhi and did not move forward.

Fang Jie took a deep look at Li Zhi, and then said: "I didn't expect that Brother Dao was actually from Xiaoyao Mountain..."

Li Zhi naturally knew that the magic he used to control the five ghosts had already been seen by them. In this strange world, magic was an extremely scarce resource. Not everyone could learn it, and not everyone was qualified to learn it.

Just like those people who were trapped in the ghost den with Li Zhi, except for the three people from Shushan, the others basically relied on external objects to resist the evil things.

Li Zhi couldn't see the details of the scales on Fang Jie's hands, and he didn't know whether they were natural, implanted later, or generated by magic.

Because of the scarcity of spells, each spell is basically labeled with its own background.

People who know the business can roughly judge which school or sect a person belongs to by looking at the corresponding techniques.

Li Zhi was also somewhat curious about who Fang Jie was, so he asked, "Then what sect or school does Brother Fang belong to?"

Fang Jie grinned when he heard this, his tone seemed to be full of pride, he said: "I am the Bing of the Night Tour Division, belonging to the Earthly Branch, and people call me Iron Hand Fang Jie!"

Li Zhi's eyes flashed, and he quickly caught one point in Fang Jie's words - Bing belongs to the Earthly Branches.

I remember meeting Huang Man before, and he also said that Yeyou is the earthly branch, and Bing represents the heavenly stem.

So, the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches...

Li Zhi had a vague understanding of the Night Patrol Division.

Then, he bowed to Fang Jie and said, "The unnamed disciple of Xiaoyao Mountain is known as Five Ghosts Li Zhi."

Li Zhi was just joking, but Li Yuqing on the side had a look of envy on his face. He seemed to be longing for the very gangster-like way that Li Zhi and Fang Jie introduced themselves.

After Li Yuqing comforted his fellow junior brothers and sisters, he walked towards Li Zhi and the others alone, leaning on the sword in his hand.

Seeing Li Zhi and Fang Jie coming over, Li Yuqing quickly imitated Li Zhi and said, "I am a disciple of Shushan, Li Yuqing... This is my first time going down the mountain, I have not yet made a name for myself, and I don't have a nickname yet..."

As Li Yuqing spoke, she began to blush with embarrassment, as if she felt inferior without a remarkable nickname.

Li Zhi also smiled when he saw this. Looking at the green sword in Li Yuqing's hand, he said, "As for a nickname, I'll give you one. From now on, you'll be called Green Sword Li Yuqing!"

Li Yuqing's eyes lit up instantly when he heard this, and his face was filled with uncontrollable joy. The corners of his mouth seemed to be harder to suppress than AK. He muttered excitedly: "Green Sword Li Yuqing! Green Sword Li Yuqing!"

Fang Jie looked at Li Yuqing, who was as excited as a child, and then looked at Li Zhi with some meaningful look in his eyes. He could naturally see that Li Zhi was trying to make friends with Li Yuqing, but was also on guard against him.

But he didn't say anything. He looked around and found that there were only five of them who survived from the ghost den this time.

The short and strong man was turned into ashes when the demonic energy and the Yin energy collided and exploded.

All he relied on was his outstanding skills and the sharp butcher knife in his hand, but he had no other means to save his life.

In that situation, no matter how strong your skills are, they will be of no use if you don't have any means to save your life.

"Now that this matter is over, I'll take my leave..." Seeing that the matter had been resolved, Fang Jie said goodbye.

Hearing that Fang Jie was leaving, Li Zhi secretly breathed a sigh of relief. His condition had now dropped to freezing point. He always felt a little uncomfortable having someone as powerful and deep-hearted as Fang Jie around him.

But Li Zhi immediately thought of something, and he quickly said, "Oh, right, didn't Li Feng offer a reward? We have eliminated the ghosts and broken the den of evil for him, can we go to him to claim the reward?"

"Couldn't Li Feng have already fallen into this den of evil?" Li Zhi asked again after he finished speaking.

When Li Yuqing heard Li Zhi's question, he replied, "Li Feng has a fortune and owns countless houses and mansions, but he doesn't live here. The one who brought us here this time was one of his housekeepers. That housekeeper really died in the ghost den. If you want to find Li Feng to claim the bounty, you can go to Hailing City to find him."

Li Zhi heard the meaning of Li Yuqing's words, which seemed to indicate that he was not going to go to Li Feng to claim the bounty, so he couldn't help but ask, "Aren't you going together?"

"Slaying demons and eliminating evil is the duty of us Shushan disciples. We have no choice but to do it." Li Yuqing said righteously.

Li Zhi shook his head. The Shushan disciples really lived up to the name of the light of righteousness as Immortal Master Liu said. Look at their ideological awareness.

Li Zhi looked at Fang Jie. Although he didn't want Fang Jie to go with him, he couldn't help asking now, otherwise it would seem that he wanted to keep the bounty for himself.

"Are you going, Brother Tieshou?" Li Zhi asked.

Fang Jie actually shook his head and said he couldn't go.

This surprised Li Zhi a little. Li Yuqing is a disciple of Shushan, the Light of Righteousness. Who do you think you are? Do you think you can be the enlightened and noble Light of Righteousness?

As if seeing what Li Zhi meant, Fang Jie rolled his eyes and said, "Sanyang City is under the jurisdiction of my C-division. This is my job. How can I ask for a bounty with such a shameless face?"

After Fang Jie said this, he left alone.

Meanwhile, Li Zhicai came back to his senses from the information revealed in Fang Jie's words.

Yeyousi...isn’t it an official organization rather than a sect?
