Time Travel: The Survival of Li Zhi

Chapter 564 Tianxian Gate

Leizhou, the city of thunder.

In the open space outside the Night Patrol dungeon, blood had already soaked through the bluestone bricks and was sticky on the soles of boots.

Hong Fan half-knelt on the ground, his cyan suit ripped open by several tears. Blood trickled down his arms, pooling in a dark red pool in front of him. He gasped for breath, his eyes bloodshot as he stared intently at Shen Lie across from him, his eyes swirling with resentment and resentment.

Shen Lie still stood upright, with the steel knife in his hand pointing vertically to the ground, and dark red blood slid down the blade and dripped onto the ground.

The aura around him was obscure and unpredictable, like a beast ready to pounce. The look he gave Hong Fan contained no trace of the friendship of a former colleague, only cold disgust for treason.

Shen Lie knew that from the moment Hong Fan opened the prison door and released the criminals, they were no longer colleagues who shared life and death, but enemies who faced each other for life and death.

Therefore, when the two sides fought just now, he showed no mercy and did not hold back at all.

But Hong Fan was no mediocre fighter. A member of the Night Patrol Division who had fought at the same time as Shen Lie, his strength was not to be underestimated. Although Hong Fan had ultimately been defeated by Shen Lie, Shen Lie wasn't as well off as he appeared.

Hong Fan's fiery and dazzling magic penetrated into Shen Lie's body, forcing Shen Lie to devote part of his mind to suppress it.

Slowly exhaling, Shen Lie said in a deep voice, "You went to great lengths to lure away the other people in the company, wasn't it just to fight me?"

Shen Lie paused for a moment, then continued, "Now...are you satisfied?"

"Ah!"

Hong Fan sneered with gritted teeth, and the blood flowing from the corner of his mouth dyed his chin red.

His expression was ferocious and unwilling. He originally thought that he knew his colleague Shen Lie well enough, but when the two sides fought, he realized how wrong he was.

Shen Lie's strength far exceeded his expectations, which made him lose to Shen Lie without paying attention.

This was a complete blow to Hong Fan, who always thought he was no worse than Shen Lie.

Looking at the ferocious and gloomy Hong Fan, Shen Lie said in a cold tone: "Since you have lost... then accept the consequences of failure!"

After saying this, he stepped forward expressionlessly, the steel knife in his hand gleaming coldly in the firelight.

However, before he could get close, Hong Fan suddenly burst into crazy laughter, and the laughter echoed outside the empty prison with an indescribable weirdness.

"why are you laughing?"

Shen Lie frowned, and a sense of uneasiness suddenly arose in his heart.

"Laughing at your naivety!"

Hong Fan's expression grew increasingly ferocious. He shouted at Shen Lie, "Do you really think I'd lead the others away and leave you alone without any preparation?"

Shen Lie's heart trembled, and before he could react, a biting chill came from above his head, as if a huge rock had fallen.

Almost in an instant, Shen Lie instinctively kicked the ground and retreated, his body leaping back three feet like an arrow.

“Boom—”

A huge explosion sounded where he had just stood, with debris flying, smoke and dust rising into the sky, and flames dyeing the night sky red.

The stone walls of the dungeon were shaking and the criminals squatting in the corner screamed in terror, but were blown away by the air wave, hit the wall, twitched a few times, and then died.

Shen Lie narrowed his eyes, put his hand on the hilt of the knife, and stared at the cloud of smoke.

I saw a black shadow slowly standing up from the smoke and dust.

"Who are you?"

Shen Lie asked in a deep voice, and his hand holding the knife couldn't help but tighten.

This person came with bad intentions, and was obviously Hong Fan's backup plan. Since he could have Hong Fan as his backup plan, he was definitely not an ordinary character.

Therefore, Shen Lie also raised his vigilance to the highest level.

In the smoke and dust, the black shadow took steps and walked out of the smoke and dust step by step.

At the same time, a gloomy and hoarse voice sounded: "I am... Feng Kuang from Tianxian Sect."

When the man completely walked out of the smoke and the light of the torch illuminated his face, Shen Lie's pupils suddenly contracted and his heart skipped a beat!

This person's appearance...

He is actually 70% similar to Li Zhi!

 …

Dongzhou, Donggang City.

In the darkness of night, the torches on the city walls formed a winding dragon of fire, shrouding this important town on the Yongchu border in a dim halo.

Since Yong and Chu signed the armistice agreement, the tense situation here has finally been relieved. Not only the people in the city, but even the soldiers in the camp have shown some relaxation.

However, this peace and relaxation did not last long.

A sharp whistle pierced the night sky!

“Swish!”

The whistle sounded as shrill as a ghost's cry, instantly piercing through the snoring in the camp.

Inside the main tent, Jiang Qi suddenly jumped up from the bed, the cold sweat on his forehead soaking the ends of his hair.

He had fought on the battlefield for more than 20 years and was very familiar with the sound of the whistle - it was the warning signal issued by scouts when they were attacked.

"what happened?"

Jiang Qi slapped himself hard several times, finally waking himself from his sleepy state. His tone was filled with surprise and suspicion, "Could it be that the State of Chu dares to break the alliance and start a war again?"

The Yong-Chu War had been brutal. Although Yong, with its national strength, had driven Chu back step by step, it had also suffered heavy losses in the war. Now that he had finally had a chance to recuperate, if he started fighting again, his soldiers' war-weariness would only intensify, making it difficult for them to muster the will to fight.

He didn't bother to put on his armor, picked up the tiger-head spear on the corner of the tent, and strode out of the tent.

The camp was already in chaos. Soldiers were running around with their bare chests. The sounds of armor clashing and shouting mixed together. The light from the torches made the shadows of people appear longer and shorter.

"General!"

The captain of the personal guards came forward hastily, his face also filled with shock and confusion.

Jiang Qi asked in a deep voice, "Where's the scout?"

However, the captain of the guards shook his head and replied: "He hasn't come back yet... I'm afraid he won't be able to come back..."

Jiang Qi's heart sank suddenly.

The scouts in his army were all experienced veterans, extremely alert. If they encountered the enemy in an ordinary way, they would definitely not be unable to return.

"Pass my order, all troops, put on armor and form a battle array! Increase your vigilance!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a sharp cry suddenly exploded from above his head.

"Hmm..."

The sound pierced the eardrums and made people dizzy.

Jiang Qi looked up suddenly and saw a black monster bird with a wingspan of three meters circling in the night sky. Its beak was like a hook, its claws were shining coldly, and its pair of scarlet eyes were staring at the military camp below.

"monster?!"

Jiang Qi's pupils suddenly shrank, and he clenched his spear tightly. He shouted sternly, "My Yong Kingdom is the orthodox kingdom of heaven! You evil demons are helping Chu invade our territory. Aren't you afraid of being punished when you cross the calamity in the future?"

As soon as Jiang Qi finished speaking, the demon bird burst into sharp laughter.

“Hahahahahahaha——”

The demonic bird paused, looking down from the air, and uttered a human voice: "How dare the mere Chu State command us!"

"I am the head of the demon hall outside the Tianxian Sect. I am here today under the order of the immortals of the Tianxian Sect to attack the city and eat it. You all will become our food!"

Before he finished speaking, a roar like a landslide suddenly came from the distance, shaking the ground so much that it trembled slightly.

A soldier came tumbling over, his face as pale as paper. He pointed northeast and shouted incoherently, "General! Monsters! So many monsters!!"

Jiang Qi looked in the direction he pointed, and saw pairs of scarlet eyes lighting up in the darkness, like stars in the night sky.

"How many?"

Jiang Qi's voice trembled. He had fought countless tough battles in his life, but never had he faced so many monsters.

The soldier's voice was filled with tears: "At least... at least a hundred thousand!!"

Jiang Qi stumbled and almost fell to the ground, but fortunately the captain of the personal guards beside him was quick to catch him.

But Jiang Qi's face was extremely pale. He opened his mouth but couldn't say a word.

One hundred thousand demon soldiers!

How can we deal with this!
