Time Travel: The Survival of Li Zhi

Chapter 457 Don’t Want to Gamble

As Chen Dong spoke, he seemed to suddenly realize something extremely terrifying.

His lips trembled violently, and then with a "snap", he closed his mouth tightly. His eyes widened and he looked at Li Zhi with horror, as if he had seen the most terrifying monster in the world.

Li Zhi was still a little unresponsive. He frowned slightly, a hint of confusion in his eyes as he looked at Chen Dong and said, "You mean... I killed them all, even those who were still alive?"

Chen Dong nodded subconsciously, but just as he was halfway through, he felt something prick his head. He immediately shook his head frantically and stammered, "The others were all killed by the people of Wu, not by Li... Lord Li! Seriously, Lord Li, I was mistaken just now!"

Li Zhi frowned tightly. He didn't think much about it. He just felt that this matter was too weird. He actually had no recollection of the situation at that time.

This made Li Zhi feel inexplicably uneasy. This feeling of being out of control reminded him of when he first traveled to this world, when a ghost was hidden in his body.

Is it possible...

Am I possessed by a ghost again?

This idea gave Li Zhi a slight shock.

But he immediately realized, this is impossible! Absolutely impossible!

Ghosts usually possess mortals. Ghosts would not dare to easily possess a cultivator like Li Zhi.

Moreover, Li Zhi also opened the heart fire. Any ghost that dared to attach itself to his body would have been burned to ashes by the heart fire.

As he thought about it, Li Zhi couldn't help but think of the strange dream he had when he lost consciousness.

The god-like appearance of Master Liu in the dream made Li Zhi feel a sharp pain in his eyebrows when he thought of it.

Li Zhi stretched out his hand and pinched his brow, trying to calm his chaotic thoughts. He muttered to himself, "Could it be that... he... is not dead yet?"

As soon as this terrible guess emerged from his mind, Li Zhi couldn't help but shiver, as if a cold chill was running from the soles of his feet straight into his heart.

He shook his head violently, as if trying to get rid of the thought, muttering non-stop, "Impossible! I strangled him to death with my own hands, how could he not be dead! Absolutely impossible!"

Chen Dong, who was standing by, watched Li Zhi talking to himself. The expression on his face was sometimes ferocious, sometimes terrified. He was so scared that his legs went weak and he almost collapsed to the ground.

He felt that Li Zhi at this moment was like a demon that could explode at any time, and he was standing next to the demon and could be swallowed up at any time.

He still remembers clearly how Li Zhi went crazy before.

Chen Dong's throat seemed to be choked by something. He wanted to shout but couldn't make a sound. The door was blocked by Li Zhi's figure, making it impossible for him to escape.

Otherwise, he would have run away without hesitation, the farther the better.

He swallowed hard, a gurgling sound coming from his throat. His voice was dry and hoarse as he spoke cautiously, "Master Li...Master Li?"

Hearing Chen Dong's call, Li Zhi finally woke up from his dream. He realized that he could no longer indulge in these terrible thoughts. Now was not the time to think about them.

Li Zhi frowned slightly, his eyes shifting from blank to focused. He looked at Chen Dong and asked, "Didn't those people from the Qiongqi Camp and Captain Yang Duanheng and the others manage to swim up?"

Chen Dong quickly shook his head, a hint of fear and panic in his eyes. He said, "I... I didn't see them swim up. They must have... drowned... If they were still here, we wouldn't have been bullied and killed by those Wu people."

Li Zhi sighed secretly in his heart. He recalled the feeling of despair when he fell into the water. It was as if countless hands were pulling him down, making it difficult for him to move at all.

If Duan Heng and the others were in the same situation, they would probably be in great danger now and would probably have drowned in the icy river.

Li Zhi never expected it to be like this.

Although before coming to Wei, all of them were mentally prepared to face danger and even sacrifice.

But they overcame all the dangers they encountered when they came here, and now they can finally retire with honor. When they go back, they have suffered such a huge setback in this place!

"So, now there are only two of us left?"

Li Zhi spoke softly, with a hint of fatigue and helplessness in his voice.

Chen Dong nodded woodenly.

But at this moment, Li Zhi narrowed his eyes slightly, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and he looked at Chen Dong, and a trace of murderous intent towards Chen Dong arose in his heart.

Because according to what Chen Dong said, Li Zhi massacred Yongguo officials when he lost his mind. If this matter were to spread to Yongguo, Li Zhi would be in trouble.

But at that time, Li Zhi’s future was uncertain, and even his life was in danger.

The best way to avoid being exposed is to silence the witness!

However, when they came, there were more than a hundred people in a grand group, but now there are only him and Chen Dong left. In this foreign country, Li Zhi really doesn't want to take action again and kill his only remaining companion.

After all, Chen Dong was also a companion who had experienced all the ups and downs with him, and Li Zhi still felt a little reluctant.

But Li Zhi also knew that if he didn't kill him, he would have a huge handle in his hand. This feeling of being controlled by others made Li Zhi very uneasy, like a thorn in his heart, making him restless.

Chen Dong seemed to sense the strangeness in Li Zhi's eyes, sensing the faint murderous intent. His face turned pale in an instant, and he hurriedly said, "Master Li! Master Li! I was mistaken just now. Those people were killed by the people of Wu when you appeared! Seriously, I swear! I was too scared just now, so I said the wrong thing. Master Li, please be magnanimous and forgive me this time!"

As he spoke, Chen Dong knelt on the ground with a "thump", and his knees hit the ground heavily with a dull sound.

He kowtowed repeatedly, his forehead hitting the ground with a "bang bang" sound. After a while, his forehead became red and swollen, and blood flowed down his cheeks.

Chen Dong burst into tears and begged bitterly, "Master Li, I really remembered it wrongly. Please give me a way out! Please! I have elderly parents and young children to take care of. My whole family depends on me! Master Li, please have mercy on me!"

Li Zhi looked at Chen Dong's miserable appearance and felt a little moved. He couldn't help but sigh and said, "Get up..."

Chen Dong thought that Li Zhi was going to spare him, and his tearful face suddenly showed a hint of joy. He couldn't help but laugh. The smile was mixed with tears and blood, which looked particularly weird.

Just as he was struggling to get up from the ground, Li Zhi's right hand holding the sword suddenly swung like lightning, and the black sword drew a cold arc in the air and instantly passed over Chen Dong's neck.

Chen Dong's head was thrown high into the air, drawing a strange parabola in the air. Blood gushed out from his neck like a fountain, splashing all over the ground.

Li Zhi's voice also rang out at the same time, cold and ruthless: "Sorry, I don't want to gamble with human nature. I've already capsized in the gutter once, and I don't want to capsize again... If you want to blame... just blame your bad luck..."

"I, Li Zhiding, will take good care of your elders and the families of all those who died in this incident!"
