Time Travel: The Survival of Li Zhi

Chapter 486: Daytime Star Appears

Li Zhi tightly grasped a token left by Fang Shang. According to what Fang Shang said before his death, he had an old acquaintance at the west city gate, who would let anyone pass as long as he saw the token.

Although Li Zhi could not confirm whether what Fang Shang said was true or false, he could not confirm whether there were some hidden dangers that Li Zhi did not know about.

But Li Zhi knew that this was the only option available to him at the moment. Regardless of whether what Fang Shang said was true or not, Li Zhi had no choice but to give it a try first.

Li Zhi hurried along the street. The originally bustling street was now deserted.

I don’t know if they hid themselves because they were worried something might happen, or if they all went to the competition area to watch the show.

Li Zhi hurriedly turned the last alley, and the outline of the West City Gate finally came into view.

The heavy city gate was tightly closed like the mouth of a giant beast, and four guards were guarding it with spears in hand.

The city gate was right in front of him. Li Zhi suppressed the excitement in his heart and was about to step forward when suddenly, a sharp sound of breaking air tore through the night sky!

“Boom—”

The entire city shook violently, and the ground twisted and undulated like boiling water, as if it was lifted from the ground by an invisible giant hand.

Li Zhi staggered and nearly fell to the ground. Fortunately, the black sword in his hand was unsheathed with a "swoosh". Then, he stabbed the sword into the ground to stabilize his body.

Several guards not far away were unable to stand and were all knocked to the ground.

The guards who fell to the ground did not get up immediately. Instead, they all looked up at the sky and cried out in surprise.

Seeing this, Li Zhi felt uneasy and quickly looked up at the sky.

This sight caused his pupils to shrink instantly.

I saw a dazzling and scorching sun hanging high in the sky, and next to this red sun, countless stars flickered strangely.

Those stars, which flickered like breathing, formed a sharp contrast with the scorching red sun.

This scene seemed to break the routine, as if the order of the universe completely collapsed at this moment.

An invisible sense of oppression surged like a tide, Li Zhi's eardrums buzzed, and his nasal cavity was filled with a sweet and fishy smell like rust.

"The stars appear during the day!"

Li Zhi muttered to himself, cold sweat sliding down his back.

Li Zhi originally thought that he was no longer the Wu A'mon of the past. He originally thought that he had seen and known a lot.

But he had never seen such a strange scene before, and the uneasiness in his heart seemed to turn into reality and was about to drown him.

However, the stars in the sky did not exist in the sky for long. Under Li Zhi's gaze, the stars gradually went out and disappeared.

Before Li Zhi could recover from his shock, a roar like thunder exploded: "Thief! How dare you run wild in Huwei City! Have you asked my Tang family?"

Li Zhi looked closely and saw a black shadow rushing towards him with a fierce gust of wind. Wherever it passed, the air made a sharp whistle.

"What the hell? What a coincidence that you bump into me?"

Li Zhi couldn't help but curse. He was about to dodge, but suddenly found that his limbs were bound by invisible chains and he couldn't move at all.

What was even more bizarre was that the figure that was galloping towards him suddenly stopped three feet away from him, maintaining a charging posture but unable to move forward at all.

Li Zhi opened his eyes wide and saw that the man was Ah Sheng!

Ah Sheng's face was rarely covered with sweat, but his eyes were sparkling with excitement.

Before Li Zhi could open his mouth to question, more than ten figures came out from all directions and surrounded the two of them.

Among the people who came were Chen Xiao, Tang Pingcheng and Yang Tianqi, whom Li Zhi had met. In addition, there were other people whose momentum was not inferior to theirs.

All of them stared at Ah Sheng with eager eyes, and of course they also looked at Li Zhi a lot.

Tang Pingcheng took a step forward and shouted in a gloomy and hostile tone, "Hand over the Heart of the Star!"

Li Zhi's eyes flashed, and he suddenly realized what was going on.

The appearance of the daytime star just now must have been caused by the Heart of the Star, and what Ah Sheng planned in Huwei City was this thing.

It seems that Ah Sheng had seized the rare treasure, the Heart of the Star, which is why he was hunted down by these people.

Thinking of this, Li Zhi suddenly realized that he was in an awkward position. And judging by the looks of the others, there was no guarantee that they might mistake him for Ah Sheng's accomplice.

Li Zhi hurriedly said, "You all misunderstood. I was just passing by and have nothing to do with this person. Please be kind and let me go..."

"That's right! I don't know him at all! You'd better let him go!" Ah Sheng suddenly shouted.

Ah Sheng’s words almost made Li Zhi curse.

As expected, as soon as Ah Sheng said this, the suspicion in everyone's eyes instantly turned into determination.

Yang Tianqi snorted coldly, his eyes swept over Li Zhi, and he said coldly: "None of you can escape today!"

As he spoke, Chen Xiao's figure flashed and he rushed straight towards Ah Sheng.

Tang Pingcheng on the side seemed to have been staring at Chen Xiao for a long time. The moment Chen Xiao made a move, Tang Pingcheng also made a move immediately.

Tang Pingcheng blocked Chen Xiao's way. A cold smile appeared on his originally sinister face. He said, "It's not your Chen family's turn to interfere with the things in Huwei City!"

Chen Xiao remained calm and replied, "That's Star Gate's stuff! It's not from your Tiger Guard City!"

As they spoke, the two began to fight.

As soon as the two of them started fighting, it was like blowing the horn of battle.

In an instant, everyone started fighting.

Li Zhi glanced at the people who were fighting, and then looked at Ah Sheng who was watching those people with relish.

An idea came to his mind. Since no one noticed him at the moment, he could take this opportunity to try to break free from the restraints on his body.

Li Zhi took a deep breath, and the Qi in his body began to circulate wildly.

As Li Zhichao worked overtime, he felt a tearing pain in his meridians.

But Li Zhi still gritted his teeth and persevered, because he knew that if he could not break through his own constraints, he would not be able to escape the fate of being bullied by others. Compared with this, the pain he felt now was nothing.

“Crack—”

A slight crisp sound was heard, and thanks to Li Zhi's efforts, the invisible chain that bound him showed the first crack.

A hint of joy flashed in Li Zhi's eyes. Just when he was about to pursue the victory, an even more terrifying aura suddenly descended from the sky!

It was as if the entire sky was pressing down, and Li Zhi felt as if his internal organs were about to be crushed.

The sounds of fighting around suddenly stopped, and everyone was pressed to the ground by this force, groaning in pain.

Only Li Zhi and Asheng, who had been imprisoned for a long time, miraculously withstood this terrifying pressure. Although they felt like they were being squeezed into meat paste, they still stood upright.

"Sealing lock? No wonder it can block my falling stars..."

A low and hoarse voice came from the clouds, as if coming from the ancient abyss.

Li Zhi reluctantly raised his head and saw a huge hand shadow emerging in the sky. Each finger was as thick as a mountain, and stars were shining in the palm of his hand.

Chen Xiao and others who were pressed to the ground had pale faces, blood oozing from the corners of their mouths, and their eyes were full of fear.

"Ahem... I didn't know you were coming, Senior. I'm sorry for not welcoming you..."

Tang Pingcheng raised his head with difficulty, his voice trembling.
