Time Travel: The Survival of Li Zhi

Chapter 315: Stage 2 Battle

Although the emperor's departure attracted a lot of attention, the fight on the ring continued in full swing without much interference.

At this time, the battles on the four arenas have entered a white-hot stage. After a fierce competition, at this moment, four candidates who have successfully defended the arena and entered the second stage of the competition have been selected.

Apart from Li Zhi and Duan Heng, the battle situation on the other two arenas seemed even more stalemate and complicated.

The champion changed several times like a revolving lantern, and each change was accompanied by a thrilling battle, which made people dazzled and their heartbeats accelerated.

Among them, Nangong Wen is particularly worth mentioning.

Nangong Wen naturally had no good face when facing Guo Dong, who was looking to take advantage of him. After defeating Guo Dong in anger, he thought that he could shock the covetous challengers in the audience with this hearty victory.

But who could have thought that the result would be just the opposite. In the eyes of those challengers who were bent on taking shortcuts, the tired Nangong Wen was like a ripe fruit.

Therefore, even if Nangong Wen defeated Guo Dong, those people were still eager to try, like sharks that smelled blood.

Thus, a brutal round-robin battle began.

Even though Nangong Wen was quite powerful, he was still no match for the wave after wave of challengers who came at him like a tide, and was ultimately dragged down by the constant barrage of attacks.

In the end, he was defeated.

However, Nangong Wen had a stubborn and unyielding spirit in his bones. After only a short rest, before his strength had recovered, he impatiently challenged the person who defeated him.

That kind of determination and ruthlessness made many people present look at him sideways.

It’s a pity that ideals are full but reality is very skinny. Although Nangong Wen successfully took revenge by relying on the anger for revenge in his heart.

But after all, he had consumed too much energy before and had not had enough rest, so his body had long been overwhelmed. So in the next round of battle, he was defeated again and had to leave sadly. It was really a pity.

After this fierce competition, in the end, the champions of the other two arenas were Sun Rou from the Xin element, and Wang Zhong from the Jia element.

These two were able to stand out from numerous challenges and successfully defend their titles. Naturally, they both have extraordinary strength and unique abilities, and should not be underestimated.

At this moment, since they had successfully entered the second stage of the competition, in order to allow the four strongest fighters who finally stood out on the stage to devote themselves to the next more crucial battle in the best condition, Situ Han specially gave them an incense stick of time to let them adjust their breathing and rest.

Sun Rou and Wang Zhong were seen closing their eyes and adjusting their breathing on the ring. They were seizing this rare time to adjust their condition to the best possible condition.

Although Li Zhi and Duan Heng did not consume much energy, they were also silently adjusting their states at this moment.

The time of a stick of incense seemed to be particularly short in this tense atmosphere and passed quietly in the blink of an eye.

When the time came, Situ Han began to draw opponents for the four contestants on the stage according to the established rules.

He looked serious and moved methodically. He first took out the tickets one by one from the container containing the ticket numbers, and then checked and compared them carefully.

After a while, Situ Han announced the results of the draw.

He announced loudly: "Li Zhi vs. Sun Rou, Duan Heng vs. Wang Zhong."

The sound echoed in the venue, instantly breaking the silence and making everyone's emotions rise again. Everyone couldn't wait to see what kind of fierce sparks would be created by the two powerful confrontations.

 …

Li Zhi walked slowly onto the stage with steady steps.

At this moment, Sun Rou, standing on the ring, had a solemn expression on her face. She stood tall and straight, like a plum blossom standing proudly in the snow. Her eyes were fixed on Li Zhi, with vigilance and caution in her eyes, as if she was examining an extremely dangerous opponent.

Sun Rou had heard of Li Zhi's name a long time ago. She scoffed from the bottom of her heart at the rumors that Li Zhi had killed his master, a heinous act of treason. She felt that such behavior was really against human ethics and was despicable.

But even though she had such a negative opinion of Li Zhi in her heart, she did not dare to underestimate Li Zhi's strength at all.

Especially just now, she witnessed with her own eyes Li Zhi's brilliant performance in the previous two battles. His fierce offensive, clever response and powerful explosive power all left a very deep impression on her.

She clearly realized that the man in front of her was no ordinary person and was definitely one of the most powerful opponents she had ever met in this competition.

Because of this, she had already placed Li Zhi at the top of her mind as the person who needed the most attention, and she was fully prepared and did not dare to slack off in the slightest.

Sun Rou was observing Li Zhi intently, and Li Zhi was also observing Sun Rou silently.

In Li Zhi's impression, Sun Rou was the first female member he had met since he entered the Night Patrol Division. She was born with delicate features and beautiful eyebrows. Even though she had a solemn expression at the moment, it was difficult to hide her outstanding appearance.

However, Li Zhi knew very well that in this competition, one cannot judge a person based on appearance alone. Since Sun Rou was able to overcome all obstacles and successfully win the title of champion, she must have strength that should not be underestimated.

Li Zhi still clearly remembered that in the previous battle, Sun Rou's body movements were light and her swordsmanship was sharp. In terms of swordsmanship alone, Li Zhi felt that he was no match for her.

At this moment, the two of them just stared at each other quietly. The atmosphere on the ring seemed to be frozen, so tense that it made people almost breathless.

Everyone in the audience held their breath and stared at the two people on the stage. They all knew that this battle would be a fight between dragons and tigers, and the excitement would definitely be beyond imagination.

Suddenly, Sun Rou took the lead in breaking the stalemate. She slowly raised the sword in her hand. The sword flashed with a cold light under the sunlight, as if demonstrating to Li Zhi.

She gently shook the hilt of the sword, and the tip of the sword pointed directly at Li Zhi. The crisp sound of the sword rang out, as if the battle horn had been sounded.

Seeing this, Li Zhi remained calm and instead of retreating, he advanced.

With a heavy foot on the ground, Li Zhi rushed towards Sun Rou like a cannonball with an unstoppable momentum.

Seeing Li Zhi coming so aggressively, Sun Rou frowned slightly.

Li Zhi's momentum was indeed extremely ferocious, and that powerful sense of oppression was like an invisible mountain pressing towards her.

However, since Sun Rou was able to enter the Night Patrol, she was certainly no ordinary person. How could she be easily intimidated by Li Zhi's aura and lose her composure?

I saw her holding the sword tightly in her hand and shaking her wrist violently. The movement was clean and neat, and done in one go.

In an instant, countless sword flowers flashing with cold light bloomed from the tip of the long sword. Those sword flowers were like ice flowers blooming in winter, crystal clear yet full of deadly danger. One by one, densely packed, they blocked the front of Li Zhi's attack, forming a seemingly indestructible sword flower barrier.

Sun Rou was quite confident in her swordsmanship. She believed that even if Li Zhi used the armor with fire and earth attributes, he would not get any good result if he tried to force his way into her "Falling Flowers" move.

However, just as Li Zhi was about to break into Sun Rou's sword move, an unexpected scene happened.

Li Zhi stomped his foot hard on the ground. This foot was so powerful that it not only left a footprint on the ground, but also caused Li Zhi's body, which was originally moving forward rapidly, to stop suddenly as if it was tightly grabbed by an invisible big hand.

This sudden pause made Sun Rou, who had been preparing for a head-on fight with Li Zhi with all her might, feel like she had punched cotton and she almost couldn't catch her breath.

Just when Sun Rou had not yet recovered from this sudden change, the next moment, she felt the sky in front of her eyes suddenly darken.

She looked up subconsciously.

I saw a wave of mud like a giant dragon with bared fangs and claws, rushing towards her with overwhelming momentum.

The posture seemed to swallow her whole in an instant!
