Time Travel: The Survival of Li Zhi

Chapter 576 Kang Gui

The man's face changed drastically.

This was because the Qi that was originally running at a high speed in his body suddenly stopped in an instant, like frozen river water!

The Qi that had been running to its limit suddenly stopped, causing his tendons and veins to feel extremely uncomfortable in an instant, as if they were torn apart, and he let out a groan of being overwhelmed.

The man could not bear it any longer. His whole body shook and he suddenly spat out a large mouthful of blood. His face turned as pale as golden paper.

When he spat out a mouthful of blood, he knew that he had suffered serious internal injuries and instinctively wanted to stop and retreat. After all, this instantaneous confrontation made him realize that he was definitely no match for Li Zhi.

But he hadn't anticipated that, in order to give Li Zhi a warning, he hadn't spared any energy when he rushed forward. Even if he wanted to stop, the inertia of the rush prevented him from stopping, and he continued to crash into Li Zhi uncontrollably.

Seeing that he was about to bump into Li Zhi, he was terrified, but he saw a sarcastic smile on Li Zhi's face.

Then he saw Li Zhi slowly lift his foot.

Then, he kicked him back hard!

"boom!"

The man flew backwards like a kite with a broken string, and fell heavily on the bluestone slabs of the Xinshu Yamen, making a dull sound.

He lay on the ground, his chest heaving violently. He struggled to stand up, but his arms were as soft as noodles. He tried several times but failed. He could only gasp in vain, his eyes full of horror.

"Humph!"

At this moment, a cold snort filled with anger came from deep within the government office, with a deafening momentum: "Li Zhi! How dare you hurt someone from my Xin clan!?"

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw a man with a black face and red beard walking out quickly. It was Kang Gui, the leader of the Xin clan.

He quickly walked to the side of his subordinate who had been knocked away. His already dark face turned purple with anger, and his eyes were gleaming with hatred.

He clenched his fists suddenly, his joints crackling, and his whole body was filled with energy, and then he smashed heavily towards both sides of his body.

Li Zhi took it all in, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.

How could he not know that Kang Gui was planning to break his own boundary in order to save the face that his side had lost in front of Li Zhi.

But how could Li Zhi let him have his wish? Just when Kang Gui's fist was about to hit out.

Li Zhi's mind moved, and the Qi realm covering the yamen suddenly dissipated!

The strange scene of the world turning upside down returned to normal in an instant, and Kang Gui's fists, which were full of power, suddenly hit nothing. The powerful Qi had no place to vent, and the recoil made him stagger and almost fall to the ground.

He steadied himself and looked up at Li Zhi, just in time to meet the undisguised playful smile in the other's eyes.

Kang Gui understood instantly that Li Zhi had seen through his thoughts long ago and deliberately withdrew the boundary at the moment he made a move. Not only did he make his demonstration a joke, but he also made fun of him in public!

"Li——Zhi——"

Kang Gui spat out these two words through gritted teeth, his voice full of suppressed anger, his hands clenched tightly, his nails almost digging into the flesh.

"presumptuous!"

Gu Chun immediately stepped forward and shouted at Kang Gui without any courtesy, "Master Li is now the acting head of the Night Patrol Division. How dare you, Kang Gui, address him by his name like that?"

Kang Gui glanced at Gu Chun with disdain on his face. He said in a deep voice, "I have been working in the Night Tour Division for decades. I have only heard of the terms 'chief' and 'deputy chief', but never the term 'acting chief'!"

Kang Gui wanted to argue, but Gu Chun wouldn't let him. Gu Chun said directly, "Lord Li was appointed by the Grand Chief Secretary himself. His position as Acting Chief Secretary is similar to that of the Grand Chief Secretary. Are you, Kang Gui, going to disobey the Grand Chief Secretary's orders?"

Seeing Gu Chun bringing up the chief minister so directly, Kang Gui's face suddenly turned pale.

He dared to intimidate Li Zhi, even dismissing him, but he would never dare to disregard Zhao Wuji. As an old man in the Night Patrol, Kang Gui was well aware of Zhao Wuji's ruthless methods!

He actually knew about Li Zhi's appointment as acting chief, but he was deeply dissatisfied. This man, who had only been employed at the Night Patrol for a short time, had somehow managed to climb the ladder to the position of deputy chief and then the chief.

Now, it has even climbed over his head. He has to be inferior to this junior who already has a grudge against him. How can Kang Gui accept this? How can he be willing to accept this?!

Therefore, he specially arranged this act with the purpose of giving Li Zhi a warning, reducing his prestige and making Li Zhi dare not act arrogantly in front of him.

But he never expected that Li Zhi's strength was so powerful that not only did his plan fail and made him look bad in public, but even his trusted subordinates were injured.

Li Zhi was so powerful, and Gu Chun brought up the title of Grand Chief. Kang Gui wanted to resist, but he had to grit his teeth and squeeze out a few words: "Meeting... Acting Chief!"

However, in the face of Kang Gui's surrender, Li Zhi acted as if he didn't hear it and didn't even raise his eyelids.

He led Gu Chun, Xiao Ke and the other two people and walked straight past him and entered the lobby of Xinshu Yamen.

As they passed each other, Kang Gui froze at the faint feeling of oppression, and humiliation and anger overwhelmed him like a tide.

"Lord... Lord..."

A faint call brought Kang Gui back to his senses from his anger.

He looked down and saw his trusted confidant Zhang Hui struggling to sit up, his face as pale as paper. Kang Gui quickly squatted down and helped him up, his voice carrying a subtle hint of urgency: "How is it? Is he seriously injured?"

Kang Gui's concern is genuine, as Zhang Hui is loyal to him and a great help to him.

This time Kang Gui wanted to make things difficult for Li Zhi. Although no one in the Xin clan dared to raise any objections, no one dared to offend Li Zhi, the acting chief.

Only Zhang Hui dared to stand up and speak for himself. Although the result was not ideal, it could not conceal Zhang Hui's loyalty.

Zhang Hui shook his head, took a breath with difficulty, and then said weakly, "The injury is not bad, but... it's just that my energy and blood seem to be blocked by something. I don't even have the strength to raise my hands... This Li Zhi's method is really too weird!"

After all, Kang Gui was the leader and had much broader knowledge than Zhang Hui. He held Zhang Hui's hand and transferred a wisp of Qi into Zhang Hui's body.

After a while, he frowned and said to Zhang Hui, "Your entire body's energy and blood are sealed! If my guess is correct, it should be the magic of Xiaoyao Mountain, the Spirit Pointing Finger!"

Zhang Hui's face changed, his eyes filled with panic. If the blood and energy he had cultivated for so many years were sealed, then his entire cultivation would be wasted. How could he not be afraid?

He said urgently, "Master, please save me!"

Kang Gui's face became even gloomier. He naturally didn't want to see his confidant destroyed, but he also knew that Xiaoyao Mountain's Spirit Pointing Finger was extremely overbearing. Unless the caster personally unsealed it, it would be extremely difficult to unseal it by himself.

But when he thought about having to bow to Li Zhi and ask Li Zhi to help Zhang Hui get unblocked, his face couldn't help but darken even more.
