Time Travel: The Survival of Li Zhi

Chapter 171 Teaching

Li Zhi asked Erniu to get familiar with the knife first. Erniu held the knife tightly, turned around and looked for a suitable place to begin to explore the knife worth one hundred taels.

After watching Erniu leave, Li Zhi returned to the inn by himself.

After entering his room, Li Zhi hurriedly took out the things he had stuffed into the package last night.

After he met Erniu last night, he stuffed all the things he had taken from Xiangzuo into the package.

Among the things that Xiang Zuo dropped after defeating him, what Li Zhi valued most was naturally Xiang Zuo's red robe.

Li Zhi felt that this Hundred Demons Blood Robe was not simple just by hearing the name.

It is said that this robe is made from the blood of 108 monsters. It contains endless bloody energy that can deter all evil things.

This means that as long as Li Zhi wears this robe, he won’t have to worry about evil spirits getting close to him.

And the most important thing is that this robe can actually transform into a ghost. Li Zhi is very clear about the horror of the ghost.

Even though this evil ghost was suppressed by the hundred-eyed insect at that time, it was mainly because the hundred-eyed insect itself was a celestial demon, and these monsters could not exert much suppression on it.

And more importantly, the evil ghost was caught off guard by Li Zhi. No one could imagine that Li Zhi had actually hidden the hundred-eyed insect in the earth waves.

Li Zhi carefully picked up the Blood Robe of Hundred Demons and examined it carefully.

There was a strong smell of blood emanating from the robe, but strangely, there was not a trace of evil in the smell.

Li Zhi couldn't help but frown, thinking that if there was no evil spirit, then wouldn't this piece of clothing be useless?

So, Li Zhi turned the blood-colored robe over, and saw that the inside of the robe was covered with dense inscriptions.

However, these inscriptions seemed to have lost their energy and were slowly fading. At this rate, they would disappear completely by tonight.

Li Zhi felt that these inscriptions were extremely important, so he didn't want them to disappear silently.

Time was running out, so Li Zhi quickly asked the waiter for paper and pen and began to copy these mysterious inscriptions.

He depicted each character stroke by stroke, striving to make it exactly the same as the original. After some effort, Li Zhi finally succeeded in replicating all the inscriptions.

"call--"

Li Zhi wiped the sweat from his forehead and breathed a long sigh of relief.

He looked at the full pages of paper and spread them carefully on the ground, waiting for the ink to dry.

When Li Zhi saw these inscriptions, he remembered another thing with inscriptions.

That was Zhou Fan’s weapon from the Soul Blade Sect.

Although the knife engraved with inscriptions had been reduced to powder under Li Zhi's violent use, Li Zhi had already anticipated this situation, so he had already copied the inscriptions on the knife.

Li Zhi took out a piece of animal skin from the package, which was also covered with dense inscriptions.

"what!"

Li Zhi suddenly uttered a light exclamation, and he shifted his gaze from the animal skin to the inscription written on the paper on the ground.

He compared the two inscriptions and was surprised to find that they had some similarities.

Li Zhi originally thought that the role of these inscriptions was to serve as a medium that could allow Qi to be released more smoothly, thereby increasing the power of Qi.

But now seeing that the blood-stained clothes also had similar inscriptions, Li Zhi began to speculate whether the Qi in the human body, the evil spirits of monsters, and even the evil spirits could also be amplified by this inscription.

Li Zhi seemed to be thinking about something.

After the ink on the paper had completely dried, Li Zhi carefully packed them up and walked out of the inn.

He first went to the iron shop where he had bought the knife and bought a few small carving knives from the owner.

Then he found a lumber store and selected some suitable wood.

Afterwards, Li Zhi took these items back to the inn and devoted himself to the carving work.

It was Li Zhi’s first time to engage in carving, and it was not easy for him to get started. He even found it very difficult to carve the wood into the shape of a knife.

After a long period of effort and experimentation, he finally managed to carve out three wooden knives after spending most of the day. However, they were just ordinary wooden knives, and Li Zhi had not yet carved any inscriptions on them.

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

"Brother Zhou, have you eaten?" Erniu's voice sounded outside the door.

Li Zhi then realized that it was getting late, so he quickly packed up and walked out of the room.

As soon as he left the room, Li Zhi saw Erniu who was still excited.

"Is the knife still handy?" Li Zhi asked with a smile.

Erniu nodded repeatedly and said excitedly: "That knife is so sharp!"

Li Zhi smiled and said, "A new knife must be sharp. It will become dull after using it for a long time. I will teach you a few more moves tomorrow."

"Okay!" Erniu's face flushed with excitement.

The two of them went to eat together, chatting and laughing.

 …

In an open place, the wind blew quietly, blowing up a wisp of dust.

Li Zhizheng was teaching Erniu with a serious face. Although there was no noisy fighting here, there was still a tense atmosphere.

"Erniu, you have to remember that on the battlefield there is no time for you to think, nor for you to play tricks. The battlefield is cruel, and life and death are often a matter of a split second."

Li Zhi's eyes were extremely sharp, and at this moment he seemed like a general who had experienced many battles. His voice was steady and powerful, and every word struck Erniu's heart heavily.

Erniu frowned slightly. He could hear the severity in Li Zhi's tone. He stared at Li Zhi closely, afraid of missing any important words.

Li Zhi continued, "So you need to make the most effective attack in the shortest time possible. Before the enemy can react, you must give them a fatal blow."

After saying that, Li Zhi reached out and took the knife from Erniu's hand. The knife flashed coldly in the sunlight.

Li Zhi gripped the hilt of the knife tightly with both hands, and his eyes instantly became extremely focused.

He crouched down slightly, like a cheetah about to attack, and then slashed down from top to bottom with a fierce blow.

At that moment, the air seemed to be cut by this sharp knife, making a whirring sound. The knife was as fast as thunder, with unstoppable force.

Li Zhi's arms were bulging with veins, his eyes were wide open, and a ferocious expression appeared on his face. This knife seemed to contain all the strength of Li Zhi.

"Bang!" There was a loud noise, like a muffled thunder.

Li Zhi's knife struck a large tree nearby heavily. The tree shook violently, and leaves fell one after another.

I saw that the big tree was cut by Li Zhi with a knife, leaving a deep mark. The mark was like a shocking scar, telling of the power of the knife.

Erniu was shocked by the momentum of the knife. His eyes were wide open and his mouth was slightly open, which he couldn't close for a long time. His face was full of astonishment and admiration.

Li Zhi didn't know how to use a sword. His sword movement did not involve any skill at all. He relied entirely on his strength and momentum.

But it was this pure strength and fearless momentum that made Erniu deeply realize that on the battlefield, sometimes the most direct attack is the most powerful.

Erniu had an epiphany...
