Chapter 300 The passage of time
“Li Zhao” walked in front of Li Rongxian, his eyes swept across the spiritual light that kept lingering on Li Rongxian’s body, his eyes changed from bright to dark.

These spiritual lights were enough to form an almost impenetrable barrier, making it almost impossible for him to start.

Li Zhao felt a little depressed.

Now, with the help of the Buddhist beads given to him by the old monk Kuhai, he has gained a “moment” beyond the years.

There are four ke in one hour, three cups of tea in one ke, two incense sticks in one cup of tea, five fen in one incense stick, six finger snaps in one fen, and ten instants in one finger snap.

The old monk’s Buddhist beads are enough to turn this moment into an hour of casual chat.

Now he and Li Rongxian are in the crack on the shore of the long river of time, like travelers strolling beside the river.

Under this circumstance, they would indeed not be affected by the passage of time. If no one noticed, Li Zhao could spend an hour here with Li Rongxian.

but,
Zuo Chen is fighting with his real body.

The Taoist’s skills are really too high.

Li Zhao was sure that even the powerful immortals on land could not see the magical power contained in the Buddhist beads, let alone run into the river of time to deal with him.

But when it came to dealing with the Taoist priest, the endless flow of time could not bring him any sense of security.

Li Zhao always felt that the Taoist priest would appear behind him and slap him in the face in the next moment!
There is clearly an hour left, but it seems like there is not much time.

However, Li Zhao immediately calmed his mind.

He still has a chance.

It is definitely impossible to confront Zuo Chen.

Even if he used Jinxuan, opened a magic altar, and used a large number of paper figures, Li Zhao’s Taoism was only barely on par with that of Little Joy Boss.

Even in terms of fighting, Little Joy Boss is slightly better.

The moment Li Zhao fought with the Taoist priest just now, he realized that he had no chance of winning.

But it is of course impossible to let him wait for death.

Li Rongxian’s body is not mature yet, so it is obviously not the best time to take over someone else’s body, but he has no time left.

He simply stretched out his hand and pressed down on Li Rongxian’s head, who had no way to escape.

Li Rongxian wanted to dodge, but he felt a surge of pressure coming from Li Zhao. He had no chance to dodge and could only close his eyes in despair.

His palm pressed on the top of Li Rongxian’s head.

The drop of liquid given by Zuo Chen, which had been held in Li Rongxian’s palm just now, suddenly became boiling hot.

Immediately afterwards, Li Rongxian, who had his eyes closed, heard a shrill scream.

When he opened his eyes again, he found Li Zhao holding his wrist in pain.

And the hand that he had just used to touch Li Rongxian was undergoing strange changes that were visible to the naked eye!
The palm, which originally had flesh and blood, began to wriggle continuously, like a ball of mud that was constantly kneaded and shaped by someone, sometimes turning into the wings of some bird, and sometimes turning into rotten and corrupt filth.

Finally, Li Zhao’s entire palm turned into a ball of light green liquid, fell to the ground, and emitted thick smoke.

“What did the Taoist priest leave for you?” Li Zhao asked in a muffled voice.

Li Rongxian subconsciously looked at the liquid bead in his hand that was still emitting residual warmth.

Wrapped in Zuo Chen’s magic, this drop of liquid was floating in the air forever.

Li Zhao’s face suddenly froze after seeing the drop of liquid:
“Original Yang Water?! That Taoist priest has actually gone this far?!”

After seeing this liquid, Li Zhao seemed to know that he could no longer get into Li Rongxian’s body.

His body became like a shadow, as if he wanted to escape from here.

But suddenly I heard a cold snort:
“Old brother, how did you become such a rotten pile of meat?”

He looked up in surprise, only to find that Li Ji had regained the ability to move without knowing when.

Li Ji was holding a shiny long sword in his hand. Li Zhao felt his eyes were burning with pain every time he took a look at it.

Li Zhao clearly felt the Qi coming from Zuo Chen on this knife.

“Li Ji! You!”

“You are so ugly.” Li Ji didn’t say much and directly picked up the long sword in his hand: “I remember you were so charming and elegant in the past, but now you have become so disgusting. Why don’t you let me take you on your way!”

He aimed at Li Zhao’s forehead and slashed it!

In fact, Li Ji’s skills are far inferior to Li Zhao’s. If it were an ordinary blade, Li Zhao would probably not even take it seriously.

But now that the knife was falling, Li Zhao didn’t even have the strength to move his fingers!
He could only stare in horror at the blade coming down at him.

It’s like watching the sky fall!
A loud thunder sounded in the palace. The earth was still shaking. The leaves on the treetops in the distance finally fell to the ground.

The long sword held by Li Ji had been split in two along the middle, obviously unable to withstand the thunder-like force just now.

There were even some cracks on his knuckles, and blood was flowing out and dripping onto the ground.

Li Ji had never used a sword of this rank before, and his body leaned forward when he swung it.

Because of this, his knife ended up hitting the wrong target.

Originally he was going to chop him on the head, even vertically, but Li Zhao jumped directly into the invisible river, and Li Ji only had time to chop off half of his body.

At that time, Li Ji also realized that Li Zhao was not dead, so he simply thrust his knife forward and left half of the blade in Li Zhao’s body.

There was still Zuo Chen’s true Qi on the blade. Li Ji believed that with the Taoist priest’s level of Taoism, he would be able to find Li Zhao based on that half blade.

Li Ji walked up to Li Rongxian and looked him up and down.

Li Rongxian sat down on the ground, breathing heavily.

His clothes were already soaked, and now sweat was even running down his trouser legs, leaving stains on the ground.

Li Ji stretched out his hand and pulled Li Rongxian down from the ground. Only then did Li Rongxian breathe a sigh of relief.

“Uncle.” Li Rongxuan’s expression was very complicated: “Why did my father become like that?”

“I don’t know.”

Li Ji shook his head.

He thought back to a long time ago.

At that time, he and Li Zhao were still young. They sat opposite each other in the courtyard of the Kyoto Imperial Palace playing chess. Li Zhao once said to him excitedly:

“Brother, I will definitely take Daliang to a higher level!” Time flies like an arrow.

The people who once passed by have completely changed.

Fate is unpredictable.

……

Under the brilliant starry sky, Li Zhao lay in the river, drifting with the flow.

There was a knife scar on his body, running diagonally from his left shoulder to his right waist.

In this wound that penetrated deep into the internal organs, half of the blade was stuck between the bone and muscle.

Li Ji’s sword strike just now has injured his three souls and seven spirits. He is now at the end of his strength and can only flow down the long river of time. He doesn’t know where time will take him.

After drifting for a while, Li Zhao suddenly heard the sound of rowing.

He raised his head with all his strength and looked in the direction where the sound came from.

I discovered that on this long river of time, there was actually a small boat slowly coming.

Above the boat, there was a man holding a bamboo pole and wearing a tall crown on his head, which was slightly tilted.

“Haha… Taoist priest, you are really persistent. I was almost dead, but you chased me here.”

“I’m not very experienced in exploring the Avenue of Time. It took me a lot of effort to make sure you didn’t go to other Avenues of Time to cause trouble.”

Zuo Chen came to Li Zhao holding a bamboo pole.

He lowered his head and looked at Li Zhao, whose body was already in tatters, and at his skin that had weathered rapidly and recovered quickly over the years.

“Any last words?”

“Last words? What’s the use of that?” Li Zhao wanted to laugh, but the sound became extremely hoarse when it came out of his throat:
“If I can’t become a king who can move the heavens, then I will just be a pile of rotten meat in the torrent of time. This is the path I have chosen. It seems that I will end up being nothing more than a pile of rotten meat.”

“If you want to become a king, you are far from qualified.”

Zuo Chen stretched out his hand and gently touched Li Zhao’s forehead.

Lightning flew into Li Zhao’s forehead.

He only felt a piercing pain, and his vision suddenly went dark.

A few seconds later, Li Zhao suddenly opened his eyes.

what happened?

Didn’t the Taoist priest kill me?
He was full of doubts and wanted to move, but suddenly he heard a noisy sound next to his ear.

Li Zhao raised his head with difficulty, and then he found that there seemed to be something heavy on his neck.

here it is……

Bustling market?
Li Zhao clearly saw that there were many onlookers around him, and they were staring in his direction and pointing.

He tried to struggle, only to find that there was a heavy shackle on his neck!
“Noon has arrived!”

As the loud noise began, Li Zhao felt something being pulled away from the back of his neck.

At this moment, he finally reacted:

This is the execution ground!

I didn’t know why I was taken to the execution ground to be executed!

He didn’t even have time to open his mouth to shout before he suddenly felt a pain on the back of his neck, his vision spun, and his head fell to the ground and spun.

Li Zhao opened his eyes. The pain in his neck just now seemed like a dream.

At this moment, he felt numb all over and there was pain everywhere in his body.

Especially the legs, which felt like the abdomen was being cut by a knife.

He saw an old man approaching him and leaning down:

“Son, don’t blame dad. If you want to blame someone, blame that dog emperor in Kyoto. If he hadn’t sent out soldiers and bandits, our family wouldn’t have run out of food.”

Li Zhao lowered his head slightly.

Only then did he realize that his legs were nothing but bones.

And in front of him, there was a sad bitter smile.

Li Zhao opened his eyes.

He appeared on a long black road, without shoes, and his soles were a little painful.

There was a blinding light coming from the left side of his body, and a sharp sound like a suona.

Then, he felt as if he was hit on the waist by a fully-armored cavalryman, flying into the air, and then spun countless times in the air before finally falling to the ground.

I couldn’t even feel anything in my body. All I could see was darkness, as if there was nothing there.

Beside his ear, there came an extremely distant voice:
“It’s over, it’s over. How did I hit someone? I just picked up a new car!”

Li Zhao opened his eyes…

Li Zhao opened his eyes…

……

Li Zhao’s body has completely disappeared in the long river of time.

Zuo Chen could roughly feel that Li Zhao had been dead for many periods of time.

If I were to be blown to pieces in the long river of time, I would experience death at every point in time.

There is no greater torture than this.

And at the place where Li Zhao died, Zuo Chen could see some things like fragments floating with the waves.

With a gentle wave of his hand, he took the fragments into his hands.

This seems to be…

Li Zhao’s memories?
