Time Travel: The Survival of Li Zhi

Chapter 115 Water Dragon, Lin Yaoqi

An abandoned village, surrounded by a dead silence. A turbulent river rushed by, splashing water and making a gurgling sound.

Suddenly, a white shadow flashed across the river, moving quickly like a ghost.

At this moment, an agile figure suddenly jumped down from a big tree nearby and chased after the white shadow as agilely as a cheetah.

Under the sunlight, the scales on the white shadow's body glowed with halos.

Li Zhi chased the white shadow, he knew that this was his target, the water dragon he had been waiting for for three days and three nights before finally catching!

Li Zhi chased closely all the way and finally came to the fork in the river.

He looked carefully and found that the water dragon was about to swim to another fork. Li Zhi was very anxious and quickly used the ghost-controlling technique to summon five ghosts.

Five ferocious-looking little ghosts suddenly appeared on the water and blocked the water dragon's way.

The evil aura emanating from the five little ghosts was so thick that water was about to drip out. The water dragon was not stupid. It knew very well that these five ghosts were difficult to deal with and did not want to get entangled with them too much, so it turned over flexibly in the water and turned to swim towards the route that Li Zhi had reserved in advance.

Seeing this, Li Zhi finally breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that his three days of hard work had not been in vain.

As long as the water dragon swims according to the route he planned in advance, it will eventually reach a lake, and Li Zhi will block the river so that the water dragon will not be able to escape upstream along the river again.

Li Zhi drove five little ghosts to push the stones beside the river into the river in order to block the river.

Just when Li Zhi was ordering the five little ghosts to do hard labor with peace of mind, a wave of breath suddenly came from afar.

Li Zhi frowned and thought to himself: Is there a fight going on?

"No, why is there a demonic aura?"

However, when he carefully felt the breath, he found that there seemed to be a hint of demonic energy in it.

Li Zhi was startled and looked in the direction where the breath fluctuations were coming from. He couldn't help but curse loudly, then rushed towards there in a hurry.

That direction was exactly the location of the lake he had reserved for the water dragon!

Someone is trying to cut in!

Li Zhi ran all the way, and when he finally arrived at the lake, his eyes fell on the people who were fighting with the water dragon.

Hey!

It turns out to be the light of righteousness, the people of Shushan!

The silver-white water dragon was now covered in blood, with deep and shallow wounds all over its body, and its originally hard scales had become broken.

And around it, there were four flying swords flashing with cold light, circling under the control of Shushan sword-riding technique.

Although the water dragon was extremely ferocious, it was suppressed by the four flying swords of Shushan. Although it kept struggling, it was restricted by the four flying swords and its struggle could not create much waves at all.

On the other hand, the four flying swords cooperated very well. They were always able to find a flaw when the water dragon was struggling, and then hit the water dragon hard. Every attack made the water dragon roar in pain and blood splattered.

As time went by, the water dragon's power gradually weakened, and its struggles and resistance became increasingly powerless.

The flying swords became more and more courageous as the battle went on. The four flying swords became more and more powerful, and each sword seemed to carry an unrivaled aura.

Finally, after the water dragon let out a shrill roar, its body shook violently and fell heavily into the lake. Then, the entire body covered with white scales floated on the surface of the lake.

"Haha! This demon dragon is finally dead!"

A loud and crisp voice sounded.

A young man wearing the unique white robe of Shushan walked to the lake surrounded by the other three people.

"With this demon dragon, Senior Brother Lin will definitely be able to win the position of personal disciple in this assessment."

A Shushan disciple standing nearby smiled and flattered the young man who was the center of everyone's attention.

The young man looked proud, as if he had just killed the demon dragon by himself. He had no idea that he was able to capture the demon dragon with the help of three people around him.

The young man raised his head high, seeming to enjoy the flattery of his companions. He said: "Humph! The position of direct disciple is something that I, Lin Yaoqi, have always had in my hands. It is easy for me to get it..."

Lin Yaoqi was not exaggerating. Considering his father's power in Shushan, it was not difficult to give him a position as a direct disciple.

This assessment was originally just to gild Lin Yaoqi's reputation.

Li Zhi listened to the young man bragging and didn't want to interrupt him, but when he saw them preparing to salvage the water dragon's body, he couldn't sit still. He hurriedly shouted: "Wait a minute!"

Li Zhi's voice startled several Shushan disciples. They had just been concentrating on flying their swords to kill the enemy, and after the kill they were busy bragging and flattering the enemy. They didn't even notice that there was another person not far away.

"Who are you!"

A Shushan disciple next to Lin Yaoqi shouted.

Seeing their alert faces, Li Zhi did not approach them deliberately, but smiled and said: "Young heroes, there is no need to be on guard against me. Young hero Li Yuqing from your Shushan and I are friends of life and death."

Since they were from Shushan, Li Yuqing, as a direct disciple, should have some status, so Li Zhi started to use Li Yuqing's reputation to talk to them.

When they heard Li Zhi mention Li Yuqing's name, several Shushan disciples had different expressions.

Some admire, some respect, and some are displeased...

"Do you really know Senior Brother Li Yuqing?"

A Shushan disciple looked at Li Zhi with admiration.

Another Shushan disciple on the side also said with shining eyes: "Senior Brother Li Yuqing is known as the Green Sword. With a green wooden sword, he can destroy ghosts and slay monsters. Are you really a friend of life and death with him?"

Li Zhi was stunned. Wasn't the nickname Qingjian the one he gave to Li Yuqing?

It’s been such a short time since we last met, could it be that he has really become famous?

Looking at the Shushan disciples whose eyes were shining with admiration, Li Zhi said calmly: "Of course, we fought the evil spirits together in Sanyang City... You were not there at that time, otherwise you would know how dangerous the situation was..."

"Yes, yes, yes! I've heard from Senior Sister Chen Ru that Senior Brother Li Yuqing did go to Sanyang City to exorcise ghosts and slay demons!"

Several Shushan disciples now truly believe that Li Zhi had a friendship with their senior brother Li Yuqing.

The attitude of several people towards Li Zhi was no longer as wary as before. A Shushan disciple asked in a friendly manner: "Fellow Daoist, what are you doing here?"

Li Zhi pointed at the dead dragon on the lake and said, "I was the one who led the dragon here. I didn't expect you to kill it first..."

After hearing Li Zhi's words, several Shushan disciples looked at each other, and one of them whispered: "I was wondering why this demon dragon appeared here."

Lin Yaoqi's face changed. He stepped forward with a look of displeasure on his face. He said in a deep voice: "We hunted this demon dragon. How can you say that you attracted it?"

Li Zhi just thought that Lin Yaoqi was afraid that he would snatch the demon dragon from him and ruin his reputation as a personal disciple.

Then he said: "I don't want to snatch this demon dragon from you, I just want its heart..."

"snort!"

Lin Yaoqi ignored Li Zhi and just snorted coldly, saying: "How can I, Lin Yaoqi, give my things to others casually!"

Li Zhi frowned when he heard this, but still said patiently: "I only want the heart of the demon dragon..."

Before Li Zhi could finish his words, he was interrupted by Lin Yaoqi. He glared at him and shouted arrogantly: "Who are you to be worthy of asking me, Lin Yaoqi, for something?"

Li Zhi was startled when he heard this and narrowed his eyes slightly.
