Chapter 489 The 2rd Road
The "crackling" sound of the star sand exploding exploded in Li Zhi's ears, but he turned a deaf ear to it. The fire in his heart surged wildly, and the orange-red flames rushed along the meridians to his arms, covering Li Zhi's arms.
Li Zhi's pupils reflected the fiery flames dancing in his arms. He let out a low shout and stomped his left foot heavily on the ground. Taking advantage of the momentum, he ignored the star sand blocking his way in front of him and tore it apart with both hands!
“Shhh—”
The sticky star sand made a harsh sound when it was torn apart. Li Zhi rushed out from it, and the fire and earth armor on his body shook, sweeping away all the remaining star sand.
Li Zhi's cold gaze swept towards Ah Sheng in front of him like an eagle, and happened to meet Ah Sheng's eyes full of shock.
In an instant, Li Zhi rushed over like an arrow without waiting for Ah Sheng to react.
He clenched his hands tightly, flames surged, and his fists, wrapped in blazing fire, slammed into Ah Sheng's chest with the force of thunder.
There was a dull sound like beating a drum, and Ah Sheng vomited blood and flew backwards, plowing a gully about ten feet long on the ground.
However, Li Zhi's offensive did not stop there. His offensive was always wave after wave, never giving his opponent a chance to breathe.
Li Zhi tapped the ground with his toes and flew into the air.
He stretched out his hand and the hundred-eyed insect transformed into a black sword again. The black sword twisted like a spirit snake and flew back into Li Zhi's hand. The scarlet eyes on the sword were emitting a strange red light.
He swooped down, the tip of his sword pointing directly at Ah Sheng's throat.
Ah Sheng watched Li Zhi coming at him with a sword, but he didn't have the strength to dodge.
He was filled with resentment and shock. He had never imagined that this newcomer from the outside world would have such terrifying strength!
Moreover, the opponent's attack was extremely decisive and ruthless. If he was just a little careless, he would be instantly beaten by the opponent's fierce attack and couldn't raise his head.
Although he still had a trump card that he hadn't used yet, he had no chance to use it at the moment.
The sharp golden energy carried by Li Zhi's original spiritual finger had already exploded in his body.
Originally, he could still suppress this strange power that was wreaking havoc in his body, but after Li Zhi broke through the star sand that he had nurtured for many years, his power backfired and he was severely injured by Li Zhi again, making it impossible for him to continue to suppress the power in his body.
He is now seriously injured, and no matter how many trump cards he has or how many tricks he uses, they will be of no avail.
Ah Sheng knew that if it were himself twenty years ago, he would not be so easily distracted in battle, and he would not make so many fatal mistakes.
Unfortunately, he hadn't fought with anyone for a long time, and he was too confident in himself.
Therefore, Li Zhi caught his mistake and took advantage of him.
As he approached death, there was no fear or terror on Ah Sheng's face, but instead a hint of regret.
"Pfft!"
The black sword pierced Ah Sheng's throat, and blood gushed out like a fountain.
Ah Sheng knelt on the ground, and the light in his eyes gradually dimmed.
Just when Li Zhi thought he had victory in his grasp, a dazzling golden light suddenly burst out from Ah Sheng's right eye, and a beam of light shot out from it, heading straight for Li Zhi's left eye!
Li Zhi's pupils suddenly shrank, and he wanted to dodge but it was too late.
The light pierced his left eye like a meteor, and the intense pain caused countless golden spots to explode in front of his eyes. He staggered and fell backwards as if struck by lightning.
At the same time, he heard Ah Sheng's weak whisper: "This Star Heart... is now in your hands... Someone will... ask for it back from you..."
Ah Sheng's body fell to the ground like a puppet with its strings cut. Before the dust had settled, Li Zhi had already knelt on one knee, covering his left eye with his left hand.
The severe pain came like a surging tide, as if countless silver needles were stirring in the bottom of his eyes, and sporadic golden spots flashed before Li Zhi's eyes from time to time.
Li Zhi gritted his teeth, a suppressed groan escaped from his throat, veins popped out on his forehead, and cold sweat kept sliding down his cheeks.
In the life-and-death fight that lasted for a few moments, Li Zhi successfully defeated Ah Sheng with his fierce offensive and unexpected tactics.
However, the mysterious golden light was like a cancer that had deeply embedded itself in his left eye, causing him unbearable pain.
At this time, the aftermath of the fierce battle between the Star Envoy and Tang Qingfeng and Yang Shen in the distance had just dissipated. Everyone's eyes and attention were attracted by the three strong men, and no one noticed the thrilling fight in the corner.
Li Zhiqiang endured the severe pain and looked around vigilantly.
He knew very well that it was a chaotic moment in Huwei City, and since Ah Sheng was dead, now was the best time for him to escape.
So, he slowly restrained his breath and tried to minimize his presence.
His body trembling slightly, he supported himself on the rubble beside him and struggled to stand up. Every movement caused severe pain in his left eye, but he gritted his teeth and refused to make a sound.
Without attracting anyone's attention, he quietly moved towards the edge of Tiger Guard City, his steps slow and cautious.
Li Zhi stuck to the wall, using the cover of shadows and ruins to cleverly avoid everyone's sight.
He took a deep breath, turned around and fled the place.
…
The night was as dark as ink, and the wilderness was silent except for the sound of Li Zhi's rapid breathing and footsteps.
He didn't know how long he ran until he was almost exhausted and stopped in a forest. He leaned against a big tree, breathing heavily, his clothes soaked with sweat.
At this time, the pain in the left eye eased a little, but it still hurt.
Li Zhi slowly put down his hand and carefully opened his left eye.
Blinking his eyes, Li Zhi looked at the surrounding scene. He found that there was nothing unusual in his left eye except that it was a little blurry due to the pain.
However, Li Zhi did not let his mind go. He had not forgotten what Ah Sheng said before he died.
"Heart of the Stars..."
Li Zhi subconsciously reached out and touched his left eye.
He knew that if Asheng really transferred the Heart of the Stars into his left eye before his death, then this would be a big joke!
Although Li Zhi didn't know what the Heart of the Stars was, nor did he know what its function was.
However, judging from the fact that Ah Sheng was willing to make enemies with the entire city in order to obtain this item, and the Tang and Yang families in Huwei City actually dared to fight with the people from Xingyun Sect for this item, it can be seen that this item is definitely a treasure.
However, Li Zhi did not feel the slightest bit of joy at getting the treasure, but was instead filled with sorrow.
Because, in Li Zhi's view, this thing is a hot potato. Once those people know that the Heart of the Stars is in his hands, Li Zhi will be in trouble.
"call--"
Li Zhi exhaled a breath of foul air. He knew that he had two options at the moment. One was to see if he could take out the Heart of the Star and present it to the Nebula Sect, so as to escape the Nebula Sect's pursuit that might be caused by this item.
However, Li Zhi didn’t know how to take the Star Heart out of his left eye.
Therefore, he did not dare to go to the Xingyun Sect rashly. He might get his eyes gouged out by then, and it would be too late for Li Zhi to regret.
After thinking about it, Li Zhi felt that he could only choose the second path at the moment!
