Chapter 11 This is my escape route
Diablo felt humiliated.
He had killed so many people before, but no one had ever been able to behave as calmly and indifferently in front of him as Li Qing.
It was as if his proud invincibility and his supreme dignity as the Dark Emperor were being disdainfully ignored.
“Damn it!!”
Since the explanation and dialogue do not take up any time, Diablo actually does not have any pause after the time reduction.
He immediately killed Li Qing, whose health was only 12% left:
"King Crimson, kill him!"
At this moment, Li Qing's head was only millimeters away from the palm of the Crimson King.
As long as the Crimson King squeezed it gently, his head would be shattered into a red, sticky paste like a watermelon that was accidentally dropped on the ground.
But Li Qing's movements were even faster.
This was the most critical moment in his escape plan, and he had long been prepared to take action first:
"Golden Bell Cover!"
At this moment, a layer of translucent light shield emitting bright light suddenly appeared on Li Qing's body.
It was like a large bubble that suddenly inflated and enveloped everything around him.
This is the second skill he learned after reaching level 2:
"Golden Bell Cover/Iron Cloth Shirt."
[Golden Bell]: "Lee Sin dashes to the side of a friendly target, providing himself and the target with a shield that absorbs a small amount of damage for 2 seconds. After casting Golden Bell, Lee Sin can cast Iron Shirt in the next 3 seconds."
(Range: 100 meters)
(Cooling time: 12 seconds)
[Iron Shirt]: "Lee Sin gains 25% life steal for 4 seconds."
Golden Bell Cover is Li Qing's second displacement skill, but there is no "friendly target" next to him now, so naturally he can't use this skill to rush forward and escape.
Therefore, he can only use the skill of the Golden Bell Cover to add .
"this…"
"A new Stand ability?"
Diablo was a little surprised when he saw the translucent light shield appearing on Li Qing's body.
However, just the next moment...
The light film that looked so powerful and magical was shattered.
The Crimson King simply increased his strength a little tentatively and easily crushed the troublesome white light shield.
"Hahaha."
Diablo smiled:
"You want a layer of useless bubbles to stop my Crimson King?"
"You underestimate my power, bald..."
He mocked Li Qing wantonly, but suddenly found something wrong:
wrong…
The bald guy had clearly experienced the power of the Crimson King himself. If that was all he had up his sleeve, he wouldn't be as calm as he is now.
So, is he bluffing, or does he have another card?
What ability does he have that allows him to escape from the desperate situation in front of the Crimson King?
Diablo felt a sense of doubt and uncertainty.
Li Qing immediately gave him an answer that he did not expect:
"Echo Shot!"
A loud shout.
Li Qing was like a rocket that was ignited and launched, suddenly flying towards the sky in an unexpected posture.
He flew very fast, so fast that even the Crimson King had difficulty catching up.
The golden bell shield on his body barely blocked the attack of the Crimson King and also helped him buy precious time to escape.
In this way, Li Qing successfully went into space.
The Crimson King's [range] is only two meters, which means it can only move within a two-meter range around Diablo.
Diablo himself was just a strong mortal, and he had no way to stop Li Qing who suddenly soared into the sky.
"How is it possible..."
“How is this possible!!”
Diablo was shocked for the first time.
"Why can he fly? Is this his new Stand ability?"
"No…"
"This isn't some new Stand ability."
Soon, Diablo saw something from Li Qing's overly straight flight trajectory:
"This is his original long-range attack ability, which he called 'Sky Sound Wave, Echo Strike'."
"only…"
He carefully recalled the information about Li Qing's abilities:
"Doesn't this ability require marking the location with a locating light ball before performing the second stage of the high-speed charge?"
"I have been preventing him from escaping..."
"So when did this bald guy launch the positioning beam?"
"Could it be..."
An idea suddenly occurred to Diablo: "Is it then?!"
"Hahaha…"
Lee Sin, who had not yet flown far, followed suit and activated the "Commentary Time Stop" in the sky:
"Diabolo, you guessed right."
"That Heavenly Sound Wave that you dodged at the beginning of the battle is my real trump card!"
"Because, that sound wave wasn't aimed at you at all—"
"It's a seagull perched on the eaves about 100 meters behind you!"
"I have already locked onto the position of the seagull using the Sky Sound Wave. I am just waiting for it to fly higher and farther, and then I will let it take me to the sky and escape."
"As for the subsequent pistol attack and light shield protection, they were actually just a trick."
"I never expected to succeed in a sneak attack, nor did I expect to rely on the Golden Bell Cover to protect myself. Instead, I wanted to use these little tricks to divert your attention and make you think that I have revealed all my cards!"
The Crimson King is very fast.
The only ability on Lee Sin that can rival that speed is the second charge of Echo Slam.
The dangerous thing is that his fragile little body can't withstand the Crimson King's swift iron fist.
Therefore, he not only had to use the sound waves to accurately locate the target, but also had to try his best to make Diablo lulled and careless.
Fortunately, Li Qing succeeded.
He perfectly played the role of a desperate man struggling to survive, using a series of tricks to make Diablo let down his already low guard.
"hateful…"
Hearing this, Diablo's expression was distorted:
“I didn’t even see such a future clearly!”
The ability to predict the future sounds invincible, but it actually has limitations.
First of all, Diablo's "Epitaph" can only read ten seconds into the future.
Secondly, as a stand with a durability of E, the Scarlet King's domineering ability to predict the future cannot be used continuously indefinitely.
There will always be a short period of unpredictable future between the activation of each Epitaph ability.
Last but not least, his "epitaph" is like watching a movie, in which he can only see a "partial picture" of the future from a third-person perspective centered on himself.
The information that a picture can contain is very limited, and it is even likely to cause misunderstanding to the observer.
So, when Diablo activated his ability before...
He only saw Li Qing using the Sky Sound Wave to attack him, but he did not see that the light ball of the Sky Sound Wave flew over his head and hit a seagull a hundred meters away.
“Damn it, damn it…”
"My Crimson King's invincible Stand ability was actually broken by this bald guy by accident?!"
Diablo was so furious that he couldn't control himself, but there was nothing he could do.
At this moment, Diablo could only watch Li Qing flying higher and higher in the sky using a seagull as his positioning coordinates.
It was a fact that Li Qing flew away, and even his invincible ability of [Time Cut] could not stop this situation.
"Ha ha ha ha."
Diablo, who was standing on the ground, was already furious, while Li Qing, who was flying far away in the sky, was still adding fuel to the fire:
"You didn't expect it—"
"This is my escape route, Diablo!"
