Time Travel: The Survival of Li Zhi

Chapter 497 Huge Eyes

Li Zhi stomped his foot hard on the ground to stop his retreat. He looked down and saw that his right index finger had turned extremely pale and shriveled, as if a lot of flesh and blood had been drained out.

Obviously, during the brief confrontation with Anu just now, the flesh and blood of his fingers had been sucked by Anu.

Li Zhi did not dare to delay and immediately mobilized the living wood energy in his body and gathered it on the index finger of his right hand, forming a layer of green light that tightly wrapped the shriveled and pale finger.

With the nourishment of the living wood qi, the injuries on his fingers gradually eased, and his originally pale fingers gradually regained some color.

Li Zhi calmed himself down, raised his head again, and stared at Anu in front of him.

Anu was seen holding her right hand tightly with her left hand, but her right index finger had been broken off at the root, and blood was still oozing from the broken part, staining her palm red.

However, to Li Zhi's surprise, as he watched, a thick red mist suddenly emerged from the place where Anu's finger was severed.

The red mist seemed to have life and quickly wrapped around Anu's severed finger.

Immediately afterwards, under Li Zhi's shocked gaze, Anu's originally broken index finger actually grew out slowly at a speed visible to the naked eye!

Li Zhi frowned slightly. Anu's strange ability to regenerate severed fingers made him feel surprised and alert.

As far as Li Zhi knows, he has never seen anyone who can regenerate after losing a finger. Perhaps only those who have cultivated to the level of earthly immortals have this ability!

However, Li Zhi was very smart and immediately thought of Anu's magic that could suck the flesh and blood of others. He thought to himself that Anu's ability to regenerate a severed finger was probably related to the flesh and blood she sucked from others.

Anu tightly grasped her restored index finger. She suddenly raised her head, her eyes burning with anger, and shouted: "I brought you here for refuge out of kindness, why did you attack me?"

Li Zhi remained unmoved. He took a deep breath, his eyes as sharp as a hawk's: "Do you really think I'm a fool like Zhong Qing?"

There was a strong sense of sarcasm in his words, and every word was like a knife, piercing Anu's heart.

Anu's face changed and his pupils contracted violently.

She had never mentioned Zhong Qing from the beginning, and Li Zhi hadn't mentioned him either. Anu had originally thought that Li Zhi was frightened by the pursuit of the Xingyun Sect, so she hadn't thought about why Zhong Qing wasn't there.

Now it seems that Li Zhi already knew about Zhong Qing's death.

Anu recalled that when she had just fought with Li Zhi, Li Zhi had obviously been prepared for her earth escape technique and bloodthirsty seal.

However, she herself had never performed these spells in front of Li Zhi.

Anu's eyes suddenly widened. She remembered someone and asked sharply, "Did Cen Mu tell you?"

Upon hearing this, Li Zhi did not answer immediately, but just stretched out his hand and waved gently.

The hundred-eyed worm, which had freed itself from the earthworm's entanglement, let out a roar, and its body twisted and deformed, transforming into a black sword with a cold glow, which fell accurately into his hands.

"I witnessed with my own eyes the tragic scene of Zhong Qing being devoured by blood and flesh until he died."

Li Zhi gripped the hilt of his sword tightly, staring directly at Anu: "As for your spells...it was indeed Cen Mu who told me."

Upon hearing this, Anu laughed coldly, his laughter filled with resentment: "I should have killed him then!"

"Unfortunately, you don't have a chance!"

As soon as Li Zhi finished speaking, his figure rushed out like an arrow.

The black sword cut through the night sky with a sharp sound, and went straight for Anu's throat.

"Do you really think I can't do anything to you?" Anu shouted.

With a loud shout, the blood mist swirling above the Meteor Forest began to boil like a living thing.

Thick mist wrapped in a rusty smell poured down, making a sizzling sound the moment it landed on Anu. Her clothes were torn apart and spider-web-like blue veins appeared under her skin.

"Since you have suspicions about me, you still dare to follow me in. You are truly ignorant and fearless!"

Anu's voice suddenly became hoarse and low, as if it came from the underworld, with a creepy double echo.

Before she finished her words, she casually waved her arm, and a suffocatingly powerful energy rushed straight towards Li Zhi like a black lightning.

Wherever this force passed, the air seemed to be torn apart, making a sharp whistling sound.

However, facing such a fierce attack, Li Zhi remained calm. The black sword in his hand seemed to have life, and he swung it out quickly, hitting Anu's energy accurately.

There was a loud bang, and the two powerful forces suddenly collided in the air, causing circles of violent energy ripples.

After blocking Anu's attack, Li Zhi's black sword did not pause at all, but instead crossed it across his chest with a movement as steady as Mount Tai.

He bent his fingers slightly and flicked the sword lightly.

Suddenly, the black sword emitted a crisp metallic clang, like the sound of silk being torn. At that moment, the previously tightly closed eyes of the hundred-eyed insects on the black sword suddenly opened, emitting a scarlet light, like a burning flame.

"Do you think I'm just chatting with you?"

Li Zhi's voice was cold and sinister, and the murderous intent contained in it made people shudder.

It turned out that when Li Zhi was talking with Anu just now, he had already made secret arrangements.

Just below him, faint rays of light slowly lit up, like stars in the night sky.

These lights gradually expanded, forming a huge circular area.

This is exactly Li Zhi's technique of transforming the Qi realm!

Li Zhi knew that Anu brought him here specially, so Anu must have some tricks up her sleeve. The reason why Li Zhi dared to follow her in was because she wanted to use the Qi realm to isolate the Meteorite Forest from Anu.

The reason why Li Zhi didn't take action immediately after the brief confrontation with Anu was because he found something unusual about this meteorite forest. His Qi transformation realm encountered a huge obstacle here, making it difficult to fully expand.

So Li Zhi didn't continue to attack Anu.

On the surface, he was communicating with Anu, but in fact he was quietly using the Qi realm in secret.

Fortunately, thanks to Li Zhi's unremitting efforts, the boundary was finally successfully deployed.

When Li Zhi's domain enveloped Anu completely, Anu's reaction was unexpected.

Anu was not surprised at all. Instead, he suddenly burst into laughter, and his laughter was full of sarcasm and disdain.

Anu stared at Li Zhi as if he were a fool and sneered, "Do you think that isolating me from the Meteorite Forest will sever the connection between me and it? Haha, how naive! How could your fragile, paper-thin boundary possibly stop me?"

Before he could finish his words, Anu stomped his foot on the ground.

There was a loud "boom" and the ground shook violently, as if the whole world was about to be torn apart.

And behind Anu, countless stars suddenly appeared, and these stars were as dazzling as the stars in the night sky.

The boundary that Li Zhi had worked so hard to establish was torn open in an instant.

Anu showed contempt on her face, and was just about to take a good look at how Li Zhi's realm was torn apart by her.

A sudden change occurred!

Suddenly, without any warning, a huge scarlet eye appeared at the gap in Li Zhi's realm!

Those eyes were like the abyss of hell, revealing endless cruelty and ruthlessness.

The pupil of this eye slowly turned, and finally stared at Anu.

In an instant, Anu felt an indescribable fear surge in his heart.

Her breath suddenly stopped, and the stars that were flickering behind him seemed to have been paused, and they froze in an instant!
