Time Travel: The Survival of Li Zhi

Chapter 545: Use Fang Cheng’s swordsmanship to shatter your dreams!

Zhang Dongze's vicious gaze was fixed on Li Zhi's face.

The murderous intent surging in the depths of those eyes almost solidified into substance, causing Li Zhi to subconsciously grasp the hilt of the sword. At the same time, doubts arose in Li Zhi's mind - when did such a deep hatred arise between him and Zhang Dongze?

Why does Zhang Dongze look like he can't wait to eat himself?

Just as Li Zhi was confused, Zhang Dongze's voice slowly sounded.

"Do you know that I'm in this situation now because of you!"

Zhang Dongze's voice was as if squeezed out from between his teeth, gloomy and sinister. He continued: "If it weren't for you, why would I leave Lord He's house!"

He took a sudden step forward, his voice ringing out again: "If it weren't for you! Why would Fang Cheng come to stop me? If he hadn't stopped me from looking for you, why would I have killed him?"

"If I hadn't killed him, how could I have ended up being a bandit?"

When he said the last sentence, Zhang Dongze suddenly raised his voice, but a strange enthusiasm flashed in his eyes. He said: "But it's all thanks to you! If I hadn't become a bandit... how would I have had the opportunity to practice magic, how would I have had the chance to... become an immortal?!"

His eyes were red, revealing madness, and an abnormal redness appeared on his originally pale face.

Li Zhi's brows were twisted into knots.

Zhang Dongze's words sounded absurd and incomprehensible to him!

What the hell does this have to do with me?!

However, when Li Zhi heard what Zhang Dongze said, he knew that Fang Cheng was killed by Zhang Dongze because he tried to stop him.

This made Li Zhi stunned for a moment.

Li Zhi had heard Lord He mention the incident of Fang Cheng being killed by Zhang Dongze when he visited Lord He in the capital.

But at that time, both Lord He and Li Zhi agreed that there must be a rift between the two of them, which led to such a tragedy.

Now after hearing what Zhang Dongze said, Li Zhi suddenly realized that Fang Cheng had died for him!

Memories come flooding back -

The past scenes flashed before Li Zhi's eyes...

When they first met, Fang Cheng had a gloomy and arrogant look on his face, and even threatened to chop Li Zhi into a human pig.

Later, when Li Zhi was out with Fang Cheng, he saved Fang Cheng's life.

From then on, the arrogant Fang Cheng put aside his pride towards him and became extremely polite to Li Zhi. Not only did he immediately take out the sword manual for Li Zhi to learn when he heard Li Zhi say that he wanted to learn swordsmanship, he also gave Li Zhi a lot of guidance on martial arts.

Li Zhi can still recall what Fang Cheng said at the time: "If you have any problems, come to me, no matter if I have to go through fire and water, I, Fang Cheng, will not frown."

Li Zhi actually never liked Fang Cheng and always kept his distance from him.

Even later, Fang Cheng changed his attitude towards him from when they first met.

However, such a person was killed by Zhang Dongze for Li Zhi without Li Zhi's knowledge!

It was not until this moment that Li Zhi felt that he seemed to have truly seen through Fang Cheng.

In order to repay Lord He for saving his life, Fang Cheng gave up his freedom and reputation in the world and was willing to become an inconspicuous guard in Lord He's mansion.

And now, Fang Cheng even gave his life to repay Li Zhi for saving his life!

Li Zhi felt as if his chest was blocked by a huge rock, making it difficult for him to breathe.

The pent-up energy surged through his internal organs, causing his knuckles to tremble slightly. He slowly raised his head, his gaze as cold as ice in the twelfth lunar month. The light sound of the unsheathed black sword pierced the mountain path.

Li Zhi's tone was icy cold. "The magic you've been dreaming of is, in my opinion... not worth mentioning. Today, I will use the swordsmanship taught by Fang Cheng to personally shatter your vain dream!"

With every step, the dust on the ground rose up.

Li Zhi shot out like an arrow from a bow, and the black sword drew a cold arc in the sunlight, instantly covering Zhang Dongze's face.

The sword moves were plain and simple, exactly the starting moves in the sword manual that Fang Cheng left him. It was an extremely simple move, but it was filled with an indomitable determination.

Zhang Dongze frowned tightly.

In his eyes, Li Zhi's martial arts were only third-rate, not to mention that he had already practiced magic. Even if he didn't have magic, he would not take Li Zhi's crude third-rate swordsmanship seriously.

Li Zhi didn't use any magic and deliberately used this crude swordsmanship to deal with him. This was clearly a naked humiliation to him!

I have already practiced magic and become an immortal!

How dare you insult me like this? ! !

"you wanna die!"

Zhang Dongze roared, raised the big knife in his hand, and with a "clang" sound, he blocked the black sword.

The shock of the metal collision made Li Zhihu's mouth numb, but before he could come to his senses, Zhang Dongze's toes had already whipped out like an iron whip and kicked him hard on the thigh.

"Well!"

Li Zhi felt his entire leg lose sensation instantly, as if he had been hit by a huge hammer. His body retreated uncontrollably, and the soles of his boots left two deep scratches on the ground.

Zhang Dongze grinned at this. He suddenly puffed up his cheeks, making them look like he was holding two walnuts, and then blew a breath towards Li Zhi.

A fishy and cold wind blew in his face, and Li Zhi's hair stood on end instantly.

He subconsciously turned his body, and heard a crisp "swish" sound. The dark green robe on his body was torn into a long hole, and there was a light red bloodstain on the exposed skin.

If I had been even a little slower, the wound would have been so deep that the bone would have been visible!

Zhang Dongze saw that his magic was actually dodged by Li Zhi, but there was no discouragement in his eyes. Instead, a fanatical light shone in his eyes.

That look was like a child who had just learned some new trick and couldn't wait to show it off.

He puffed out his cheeks again, the veins on his cheeks throbbing. Then, he blew hard again!

With the previous experience as a lesson, Li Zhi was well prepared this time and he used the art of looking at qi.

In his eyes, the moment the air flow blown out by Zhang Dongze left his lips and teeth, it strangely condensed into a translucent blade. The blade flashed with a sharp cold light, so fast that it almost caught up with the sound of the wind, and appeared in front of Li Zhi in the blink of an eye.

Li Zhi didn't think twice. He quickly picked up the black sword and held it horizontally in front of his chest.

"Ping!"

The invisible blade struck the black sword, creating a resounding sound like metal clashing against stone. Li Zhi was so shocked that he took two steps back, his palms numb.

But Zhang Dongze grew increasingly excited, making strange hoarse noises in his throat. He desperately circulated the thin Qi within his body, his chest heaving violently like a bellows. He took a deep breath, and his chest swelled as if it was about to explode.

The next moment, he spit out violently.

"call--"

Countless invisible blades shot out from his mouth, as densely packed as locusts flying across the sky, and the air vibrated with a silent buzzing sound.

Those blades were looming in the sunlight, and they were so fast that they formed a curtain of light, covering Li Zhi!
