Chapter 432: Fighting with Life
Xiahou Shan snorted coldly.
His left foot, which was originally swinging, suddenly exerted force and stomped heavily on the ground.
In an instant, the solid stone slabs underfoot could not bear the weight and quickly cracked like a spider web, with cracks spreading wildly.
In a flash, Xiahou Shan was like a black afterimage, and he pounced towards Li Zhi again with far greater speed and momentum than before.
Facing Xiahou Shan's powerful attack, which was like a mountain pressing down on one's head, Li Zhi's eyes were firm, but he had no intention of retreating or dodging.
Li Zhi knew clearly that although he had learned a lot of magic, his knowledge of martial arts was very limited.
As for the martial arts he mastered, they were only a few sword techniques.
But now that he was inside the city of Wei, the power in his body was suppressed by the destiny of Wei and he couldn't use any magic at all.
However, he could not use the sword skills he was good at because he was unarmed at the moment.
However, Xiahou Shan, who was facing him, was highly skilled in martial arts and had rich practical experience.
With Li Zhi's mediocre martial arts skills, if he wanted to have a chance of survival in this contest with such a huge disparity in strength, he had no choice but to take the risk and risk his life.
Li Zhi clenched his teeth and stomped the ground hard.
Facing Xiahou Shan's attack, he not only did not retreat, but instead rushed forward without hesitation. His resolute posture was like a moth flying into a flame, with a moving determination.
Seeing Li Zhi rushing towards him, Xiahou Shan's disdain grew stronger. He raised the corner of his mouth slightly, revealing a mocking arc, and spat softly: "Stupid!"
In his eyes, Li Zhi's move was undoubtedly like hitting a rock with an egg and overestimating his own capabilities.
In the blink of an eye, Xiahou Shan and Li Zhi collided with each other like two rapidly colliding meteors.
In the fierce confrontation, Li Zhi took two violent punches from Xiahou Shan. Each punch made his blood boil, but he gritted his teeth and persisted, and finally found a fleeting gap in this impenetrable attack.
Li Zhi's eyes suddenly lit up, and without hesitation, he took advantage of this brief opportunity and threw a punch.
However, just as Li Zhi's fist was about to touch Xiahou Shan, a hint of playful sarcasm flashed in Xiahou Shan's eyes.
His body turned like a ghost, at a speed so fast that it was dazzling. Then, he raised his foot high and kicked out at an extremely tricky angle.
The timing of this kick was just right, and it looked as if Li Zhi had taken the initiative to hit his foot.
"Bang!" A dull loud noise, like a heavy hammer, hit Li Zhi hard.
Li Zhi was kicked by Xiahou Shan again and flew away. His body drew an arc in the air, then fell heavily to the ground and rolled several times on the ground.
Li Zhi lay on the ground for a long time. He took a moment to relax, then finally struggled to stand up.
At this moment, he was in tattered clothes, with blood oozing from the corners of his mouth, and looked extremely miserable.
Xiahou Shan looked at Li Zhi coldly, his voice was like an icy edge in the cold night, sharp and cold: "Is that all you can do? I'm afraid it will be difficult to give me a satisfactory explanation..."
Hearing this, Li Zhi slowly raised his head. His eyes were slightly red due to congestion, but his gaze was as firm as iron.
He narrowed his eyes slightly, looked back at Xiahou Shan, and said in a low voice with unyielding strength: "As long as I can still stand here and move, this battle is not over."
Xiahou Shan sneered, his laughter was full of contempt and cruelty: "Well, since you are willing to give me your life in exchange for an explanation, don't blame me for being rude."
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiahou Shan, like an enraged beast, pounced towards Li Zhi again.
However, this time, Li Zhi's performance was incredible. Not only did he not dodge, he didn't even make the slightest movement, just standing there stupidly, as if he was frightened by Xiahou Shan's momentum and couldn't move.
A ferocious look appeared on Xiahou Shan's face.
Before officially fighting with Li Zhi today, Xiahou Shan actually had some admiration for Li Zhi deep in his heart.
The wisdom and courage shown by Li Zhi in a series of previous responses also made Xiahou Shan secretly look at him with admiration.
But when they really started fighting, Li Zhi's weakness in martial arts was far below his expectations. This huge gap instantly turned Xiahou Shan's original admiration into deep disdain.
In his opinion, being defeated by such a mediocre martial artist was a great shame. And the only way to wash away this shame was to completely destroy the man in front of him.
Therefore, at this moment Xiahou Shan had already developed the intention to kill.
In his opinion, there were so many people in the Yongguo delegation, and Li Zhi was just one of them. Even if he was killed, others would not dare to say anything.
The distance between Xiahou Shan and Li Zhi was only a dozen or twenty steps.
When Xiahou Shan burst out with all his strength, his speed was astonishingly fast. In just two or three breaths, Xiahou Shan came to Li Zhi in an instant like a black lightning.
He raised his right hand high, the muscles in his arm were tense, veins bulged, and full of strength.
Then, with murderous intent in his heart, he punched Li Zhi's head with a force as heavy as thunder!
Just when Xiahou Shan's fist was about to smash Li Zhi's head, Li Zhi narrowed his eyes slightly and then suddenly opened them. A hint of determination and calmness flashed in his eyes, and he was completely different from the dazed look he had just had.
It turned out that Li Zhi was not really frightened, but on the verge of life and death, he forcibly restrained his breath and suppressed his state to the extreme.
He knew very well that there was a huge gap between him and Xiahou Shan in martial arts, and only by taking a gamble like this could he have a chance of survival.
He was gambling, betting that Xiahou Shan would underestimate the enemy and expose a fatal flaw when he rashly attacked with all his strength.
At this moment, the opportunity finally comes!
Li Zhi keenly observed the extremely tiny imbalance that appeared in Xiahou Shan's body due to excessive force when he attacked.
His right hand, which had seemed limp and powerless and hanging at his side, suddenly shot out at an astonishing speed like a snake exploring a cave.
At the same time, Li Zhi reacted extremely quickly, turned his head sharply, and narrowly avoided Xiahou Shan's punch that was enough to blow his head off.
"Click", a crisp and heart-pounding sound suddenly rang out.
Li Zhi's shoulder collapsed without any warning. Xiahou Shan's powerful punch directly broke Li Zhi's left shoulder, causing a fracture.
The piercing pain instantly swept through Li Zhi's body, but he endured the pain without making a sound. At the same moment, Li Zhi's right hand flew out with a whistling sound, passing through Xiahou Shan's eyes like lightning.
With a "hiss", blood foam splashed out.
Xiahou Shan suddenly let out a shrill scream, he subconsciously covered his eyes with his hands, his face full of pain, and he staggered back in a hurry.
However, how could Li Zhi let go of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that he had paid a heavy price for by crippling his left hand?
Li Zhiqiang endured the severe pain from his left shoulder, took a step forward, and approached Xiahou Shan.
His right hand stretched out swiftly again, grabbed Xiahou Shan's arm tightly, and pulled it towards himself.
Then, he quickly bent his body, like a compressed spring, accumulating strength, and then suddenly bounced up, using the strong rebound force and using his shoulder as a sharp blade to slam heavily into Xiahou Shan.
This collision contained all of Li Zhi's strength and anger.
Xiahou Shan's body was knocked flying like a kite with a broken string, drawing an arc in the air, and then with a "bang", it fell heavily to the ground several meters away, raising a cloud of dust.
