Time Travel: The Survival of Li Zhi

Chapter 247 Just Wanting to Survive

Li Zhi did not hesitate at all and stepped into the somewhat weird Qianyu Courtyard.

His eyes were filled with caution, and he walked slowly and steadily into the depths of the courtyard.

I saw a woman sitting quietly in that quiet corner, playing the piano.

This woman was extremely beautiful, her appearance could be called stunning. Her eyebrows were like distant black ink, her eyes were like stars, her nose was straight, her lips were like cherries, her skin was whiter than snow, and her long black and shiny hair fell behind her like a waterfall, fluttering gently in the breeze, adding a bit of agile beauty.

At this moment, she was lowering her head slightly, concentrating on playing the piano in her hand. Her slender fingers gently plucked the strings, producing a series of clear and pleasant sounds, which lingered in the small courtyard.

She didn't seem to be disturbed by Li Zhi's arrival and was still immersed in her own world of piano music.

Li Zhi glanced at the woman, then looked around the surroundings. After making sure there was no one else here, he asked, "Where are the others?"

As he finished speaking, the piano music that was like the gurgling of water suddenly stopped.

The woman then slowly raised her head and looked straight at Li Zhi. She frowned slightly, and a look of displeasure suddenly appeared on her face.

Then, her clear voice like the sound of nature rang out: "You killed Xiao He?"

There was an indescribable coldness in her words, yet her voice seemed to carry a strange charm that made people's hearts tremble when they heard it.

When Li Zhi heard the voice, he couldn't help but frowned, and a feeling of vigilance instantly surged in his heart.

He could feel that his mind seemed to be affected in some way the moment the woman spoke. The questions he had originally asked about the mansion and the whereabouts of other people turned into answers at this moment: "I killed him."

After saying this, Li Zhi himself was stunned. He never thought that he would answer the woman's question so uncontrollably.

When the woman heard Li Zhi's answer, her eyes instantly turned red and filled with tears. She looked so pitiful and about to cry that people couldn't help but feel distressed, as if there was an invisible force driving others to pity and comfort her.

Li Zhi felt as if he was possessed by a demon. He said to her in a mysterious way, "I'm sorry."

The moment these words were spoken, even Li Zhi himself was shocked.

He found that he seemed to have completely lost control of his actions and words in front of this woman. Just one movement or one voice from the other party could affect him so easily, which made him more vigilant.

The tears in the woman's eyes flowed out like a river bursting its dam. She slowly stretched out her slender hands to cover her stunningly beautiful face. Her body trembled slightly and she began to cry softly.

The crying sounded sobbing, and although not very loud, it revealed a heartbreaking sadness, as if it contained endless grievances and sorrow. It echoed in this quiet courtyard, adding a bit of desolate atmosphere.

Li Zhi stared blankly at the crying woman, feeling mixed emotions. He knew clearly that something was wrong with the scene before him, but for some reason, a feeling of guilt and indebtedness grew wildly in his heart.

The feeling grew stronger and stronger, almost completely overwhelming his reason.

Li Zhi's hand, which was originally tightly holding the black sword, slowly lifted up uncontrollably, as if an invisible force was driving him. He mechanically placed the black sword across his throat, his eyes revealing a trace of confusion and determination.

Then, his apologetic voice rang out: "I'm sorry, it's my fault, I will die to atone for it!"

The voice was filled with deep self-blame, as if he had really committed an unforgivable sin.

After saying this, Li Zhi tightly grasped the black sword, exerted force, and fiercely wiped it towards his own throat. The action was decisive and swift, as if he only wanted to use his life to exchange for the so-called "redemption".

At this critical moment, when life and death were at stake, the black sword in Li Zhi's hand unexpectedly broke free from him.

Immediately afterwards, the scarlet eyes that were originally closed on the black sword suddenly opened all at once.

Those eyes were as bright red as a flash, staring at Li Zhi in unison. There seemed to be a strange power in their gazes, awakening Li Zhi's mind.

Li Zhi felt his whole body tremble violently, and a sharp pain came from deep in his mind. He felt as if his entire head was about to split open.

"Puff!" Li Zhi couldn't hold it in any longer and spat out a large mouthful of blood. The blood was like a blooming red plum, spreading a blood mist in the air, and then fell to the ground, forming a small pool of dark red blood.

His face turned extremely pale in an instant, bloodless, like a piece of white paper. His breath became weak, and his body swayed slightly, almost unable to stand steadily.

Fortunately, after all this ordeal, Li Zhi's eyes became bright and clear, and he was no longer affected by the charm of the woman just now.

"Xiao Bai!" Li Zhiqiang growled in a low voice, enduring the severe pain in his body.

As he shouted, the black sword made a "clang" sound and attacked the woman fiercely like a black lightning.

The woman's beautiful face, originally full of sadness, had now quietly transformed into a gentle and normal expression, as if the person crying just now was not her.

Facing the black sword attacking her, she didn't care at all. She just stretched out her hand and gently plucked the strings with her slender fingers.

I saw an invisible energy emanating from the strings instantly, and that energy was like a substance, directly hitting the flying black sword. With a crisp "clang" sound, the black sword was knocked away by this invisible energy, drawing an arc in the air, and then with a "clang" sound, it fell to the ground not far away.

The woman then spoke slowly, "I am Qianyu, and I am honored to meet the Lord of Yeyousi."

Her voice was still clear and pleasant, but when Li Zhi heard it now, he couldn't help but be extremely alert again.

Li Zhi took a deep breath and tried to calm the blood that was still surging in his body. His face was stern, his eyes were fixed on Qianyu, and he said coldly: "You dared to attack me even though you knew I was from the Night Tour Division. It seems that you really did something shameful."

Qianyu just shook her head gently, her face still maintaining that gentle expression, and she slowly replied: "I just want to live."

Li Zhi narrowed his eyes slightly when he heard this. He was deeply touched by these words.

In today's world, if you can survive, you don't care about the flood!
