Time Travel: The Survival of Li Zhi

Chapter 246 Jade Courtyard

Xiao He pulled hard with such force that Li Zhi felt his hand lighten and the black sword he had been holding tightly flew out of his hand in an instant.

The flying black sword stuck straight into the ground beside it, with half of the sword body embedded in the ground and still trembling slightly.

Li Zhi's reaction was also extremely quick. The moment the black sword slipped out of his hand, he retreated without hesitation.

Xiao He's smile did not diminish at all. She slapped the ground with her eight hands and feet at the same time, making a few muffled "bang bang" sounds. Then, her whole body rushed towards Li Zhi like an arrow from a bow. The speed was so fast that it caused a whistling sound.

She did not forget to shout in a tender voice: "Master, please don't leave."

Li Zhi looked at Xiao He who was rushing towards him, but his face remained calm, without any sign of panic. He reached out from his arms and quickly pulled out a small black wooden sword.

Then, Li Zhi quickly mobilized the Qi in his body, and that Qi, like a surging tide, surged along his meridians and into the knife.

The next moment after the Qi was injected, the originally black little wooden sword suddenly burst into an extremely dazzling light. The light was so bright and dazzling, like a scorching sun suddenly rising in the corridor.

The dazzling light was mixed with flashes of lightning, and the tiny flashes were twisting and making a "sizzling" sound.

Li Zhi did not hesitate at all. He saw the right moment, held the sword flashing with lightning in his hand, and swept it out fiercely.

Xiao He's originally smiling face suddenly changed the moment she saw the knife sweeping towards her. The power of thunder and lightning contained in Li Zhi's knife had a great restraining effect on evil spirits like her.

Xiao He knew in her heart that this knife was unusual, and if she took it head-on, she would probably be in big trouble.

So, she didn't dare to hesitate at all, and her whole body suddenly stopped in mid-air. Then, her body twisted violently in the air like a spirit snake, skillfully avoiding Li Zhi's knife.

Li Zhi's knife narrowly passed by Xiao He, and the strong wind it created made Xiao He's hair and clothes fly wildly.

Although the knife failed to hit Xiaohe, Li Zhi was not discouraged.

He stomped his feet hard on the ground, and with the help of the force, he rushed towards Xiaohe at a rapid speed.

At the same time, the light sword in his hand, flashing with lightning, chopped down fiercely from bottom to top towards Xiao He, who had just landed and had not yet had time to stand firm.

With a "swish" sound, the lightsaber in Li Zhi's hand, flashing with lightning, crossed the void like a swift lightning, and slashed towards Xiao He accurately and fiercely.

In an instant, Xiao He's two hands on the right were cut off by the sharp knife. The two severed hands fell to the ground, still twitching slightly, blood gushing out of the wounds, like blooming blood flowers, splashing a small dark red blood stain on the ground.

Not only that, the flashing and jumping lightning on the lightsaber actually followed the wound on Xiaohe's arm and invaded her body as quickly as a snake.

For a moment, it seemed as if countless tiny electric currents were running through and ravaging Xiao He's body, causing even more irreversible damage.

Wherever the electric current passed, muscles spasmed and meridians felt like they were burned by fire, causing unbearable pain. Xiao He's face instantly turned as pale as paper, and her eyes were filled with fear and pain.

Xiao He couldn't help but scream, and the shrill cry echoed in the quiet corridor of the mansion. She didn't care about anything else at this moment, she just wanted to distance herself from Li Zhi as soon as possible to avoid the attacks that followed.

So she stepped back again and again, her steps hurried and panicky.

However, Li Zhi's attacks were always one after another, not giving his opponent any chance to breathe. Just as Xiao He was retreating in panic, Li Zhi's back-up plan was launched.

The black sword that had been pulled out of Xiao He's hand and stuck on the ground behind him suddenly began to twist and deform as if controlled by a mysterious force.

Then, after a strange twist, it suddenly bounced up, turned into a black stream of light, and flew straight towards Xiaohe's back.

In front of Xiao He, Li Zhi, holding a lightsaber, had a stern look in his eyes. He did not hesitate at all because of Xiao He's screams and retreats.

He pressed forward step by step, and just as the black sword flew towards Xiao He's back, Li Zhi raised the light knife in his hand that was still flashing with lightning, waited for the right moment, used all his strength, and chopped it down fiercely at Xiao He's head.

Xiao He's face was filled with fear at this moment. She knew that she had no way of avoiding Li Zhi's powerful knife.

But in a desperate situation, her survival instinct drove her to turn her head with all her strength.

At this moment, the light knife in Li Zhi's hand, flashing with lightning, slashed down swiftly with endless power.

The knife slid down along the shoulder exposed when Xiao He tilted her head, and the sharp blade easily cut through Xiao He's skin like tofu.

A long wound suddenly appeared, extending from Xiaohe's shoulder all the way to her waist. The wound was extremely deep, with the skin and flesh turned inside out. Blood spurted out from the wound instantly like a flood breaking through a dam.

The spurting blood was like a red fountain, splashing everywhere, splashing all over Li Zhi and staining his originally relatively clean clothes bright red.

Although Xiao He was seriously injured by Li Zhi's sharp knife and her body was shaking due to the tremendous pain, she managed to dodge at the last moment and escape from Li Zhi's attack range.

A hint of relief for surviving the disaster appeared on her face, and the fear in her eyes faded a little, as if she felt that she had finally escaped this disaster.

However, her look of relief did not stay on her face for a moment.

The next second, there was a "puff" sound.

The black sword that was originally stuck in the ground behind her and then flew towards Xiao He's back had already pierced through her head accurately. The tip of the black sword pierced through her forehead and then came out from the back of her head, so fast that she had no time to react.

Immediately afterwards, accompanied by a dull bang, Xiao He's head exploded.

Blood, brain matter and some broken bones splattered everywhere in an instant, creating a disgusting scene of blood and filth around.

Her body, which originally still had some life left in it, collapsed to the ground like a puppet without support the moment her head exploded, completely motionless.

Li Zhi reached out and grasped the black sword with an expressionless face.

Afterwards, he put away the black wooden sword that had returned to its original shape, and then raised his hand and casually wiped the blood that had splashed on his face. The blood left a dark red mark on his cheek, making his already cold face even more solemn and murderous.

He didn't even look at Xiao He's horrible corpse. He walked straight ahead with steady and powerful steps.

The corridor, which originally seemed to have no end, seemed to return to normal with Xiao He's death.

After a while, Li Zhi walked to the end of the corridor.

What appeared before his eyes was a small courtyard.

Li Zhi slowly raised his head and looked upwards along the lintel of the courtyard, only to see three large characters written above it - Qianyuyuan.
