Time Travel: The Survival of Li Zhi

Chapter 221: Battle Broken Gun and Rusted Knife [2]

Hearing Li Zhi's words, the rusty knife man's face froze instantly, and the expression that originally contained a bit of cruelty and arrogance suddenly solidified.

Then, his expression gradually became complicated, and various emotions intertwined and flickered in his eyes, with helplessness, emotion, and a subtle bitterness. After a moment of silence, he slowly said: "Yes, in this world, it is really difficult to survive!"

After he finished speaking, before the lingering sound of emotion completely dissipated in the air, his expression changed again, quickly turning into his original cold and murderous look.

He stomped on the ground fiercely, and the ground beneath his feet seemed unable to bear the huge force contained in his foot, and a dull "boom" sounded. Then, he rushed towards Li Zhi again like an arrow from a bow.

Seeing this, Li Zhi's eyes suddenly gleamed with a bright light, which was dazzling and showed a sense of determination and resoluteness. He whispered, "Fire Armor!"

Instantly, with a "whoosh!", a ball of blazing flame exploded without warning in Li Zhi's chest. The flame seemed to have life, and instantly spread to his whole body at an extremely fast speed, enveloping him in a blazing flame.

The jumping flames flashed a dazzling red light, making Li Zhi covered in flames, like a god of war walking out of the flames.

However, before Li Zhi could take action with the power of the fire armor, he glanced to the side inadvertently and saw a cold light coming towards him like lightning.

The cold light came at such a fast speed that Li Zhi was shocked. He didn't have time to think about it. He quickly dodged the fatal blow by leaning sideways with his instinctive reaction that he had developed over the years on the brink of life and death.

With a muffled "puff" sound, a broken gun stabbed fiercely into the ground beside Li Zhi. The huge force caused the surrounding soil to be splashed by the impact, scattering in all directions, raising a cloud of dust in the air.

Although the broken gun had already slipped out of his hand and stuck into the ground, the entire gun was still shaking violently due to the impact of the fierce force.

At this moment, the rusty knife man's attack had already arrived, and a knee strike like a sledgehammer hit Li Zhi with great force.

Seeing this, Li Zhi subconsciously stretched out his hand covered in flames and slapped it, hoping to use the power of the fire armor and the resistance of his palm to dissolve the fierce knee strike.

With a loud "bang", his palm collided violently with the knee of the man with the rusty knife.

In an instant, two powerful forces collided with each other. However, it was obvious that Li Zhi was at a disadvantage in this collision. The huge reaction force caused his hand to be directly shaken away, and his arm was also numb.

The rusty knife man's knee hit Li Zhi's shoulder without any obstruction. The force of the collision was so great that Li Zhi felt a sharp pain in his shoulder, as if he was hit hard by a heavy hammer. His body involuntarily stepped back a few steps before he could barely stabilize himself.

After the man with the rusty knife succeeded in his attack, he didn't hesitate at all. The moment he landed on the ground, he immediately supported the ground with one foot, and his whole body began to spin rapidly like a spinning top.

As his body rotated, his other leg was swung out like a long whip, with a whistling sound, and swung towards Li Zhi's head at an incredibly fast speed.

Li Zhi's eyes flashed with anger. The opponent's continuous attacks were so arrogant that he didn't take him seriously at all. He really treated him as a soft persimmon!

However, even though Li Zhi was furious, he did not dare to be careless in the face of the whip kick that was as fast as a storm and was heading straight for his head. He knew very well how powerful this kick was. If he was hit in the head, the consequences would be disastrous.

So, Li Zhi quickly raised his hands, put his arms together, and tried his best to block the kick that was enough to blow his head off. With a crisp "pop" sound, as if firecrackers were exploding next to his ears, the flames that were originally wrapped in Li Zhi's hands exploded instantly under this violent impact.

Li Zhi took advantage of the moment of blocking and hugged the rusty knife man's legs tightly. Flames followed Li Zhi's hands like flexible little snakes and quickly wrapped around the rusty knife man's legs.

The flames were tightly attached to the legs of the man with the rusty knife and continued to burn, as if they were going to devour his legs in the raging fire.

Seeing this, the rusty knife man frowned and a solemn look flashed across his face. Although one of his feet was tightly held by Li Zhi, his movements were slightly restricted, but he was a battle-hardened man after all, and his reactions were extremely quick.

His other foot suddenly bounced into the air, and with great force, he kicked towards Li Zhi fiercely.

Seeing this, Li Zhi knew that if he continued to hold the man's leg, he would be hit by the kick. He made a prompt decision and pushed the leg he was holding away. Then he crossed his hands in front of his chest and blocked the kick from the rusty knife man.

"Bang!" With a loud bang, the rusty knife man's kick landed hard on Li Zhi's hands. The huge impact force made Li Zhi's body involuntarily step back a few steps, and the rusty knife man also took advantage of the reaction force of this kick and flew backwards.

Just like that, both sides used the force generated by the mutual collision to instantly catapulted backwards, and distanced themselves from each other in the blink of an eye.

After the rusty knife man landed, his eyes froze, and he looked down at his leg that was wrapped in flames. He saw that the pants on his leg had been burned beyond recognition, the original fabric had become charred, and there were wisps of green smoke, emitting a pungent smell of burning.

He frowned, then raised his hand without hesitation and slapped the flames on his legs. After a few "cracks", the remaining flames gradually went out under his slaps, leaving only a mess of trouser legs and aching skin.

Li Zhi took advantage of the moment of respite to stare at the man with the rusty knife, his eyes full of vigilance and solemnity.

The reason why he did not take the opportunity to counterattack the man with the rusty knife was because, behind the man with the rusty knife, the man with the broken gun had once again broken free from the vines and was walking slowly towards him with steady steps.

"You have so many tricks up your sleeve. If I'm not mistaken, you've used at least three spells. But... after casting so many spells, can the Qi in your body still hold up?" The man with the broken gun said slowly.

His voice was neither hurried nor slow, as if he was testing Li Zhi, but also as if he was certain that Li Zhi had consumed a lot of energy.

However, his words made Li Zhi feel depressed. He really didn't expect that under the rough appearance of this man with a broken gun, there was such a delicate heart. In the chaotic battle, he could still calculate the opponent's Qi without making a sound.

The meticulousness of this thought cannot be underestimated.

Although Li Zhi had the blessing of the Five Internal Organs Meridians, which made him consume less Qi than ordinary people when casting spells, he had been constantly attacked during this period of time, and Li Zhi's repeated responses had already consumed a huge amount of Qi in his body.

Moreover, he didn't even have time to recover his energy. Every time he escaped from a battle, he would immediately fall into a new crisis.

At this moment, such a high-intensity battle is continuing. Li Zhi can clearly feel that the Qi in his body is indeed about to run out.
