Chapter 126: Diverting Trouble
The helicopter crash site is not far from here.
It is indeed possible that there are surviving terrorists in this area.
In fact, this armored convoy that was dispatched urgently not only has the task of rescuing the attacked team, but also has the responsibility of investigating the helicopter crash area and searching for traces of terrorists.
And now…
These nervous soldiers had just arrived at the scene when they saw a pervert with long bright pink hair and a tight black see-through bra, stepping on his own wrecked armored vehicle and yelling murderously.
Looking inside through the shattered bulletproof glass, the car was still full of hideous, twisted and mutilated corpses.
The blood almost dyed the windows red, and the smell of death rose to the sky.
Diablo stood on this shocking pile of corpses, his face full of murderous intent.
There was no need for any further explanation from others; the soldiers almost without hesitation regarded this strangely dressed pervert as the terrorist who attacked the convoy.
At this time, Li Qing, wearing a bloodstained military uniform, rolled out of the car in a panic, pointing at Diablo and yelling:
"It's him! He's the terrorist!"
"They are indeed terrorists!"
The soldiers were all startled and immediately moved their guns over.
In just a short moment, dozens of guns, including five vehicle-mounted heavy machine guns powerful enough to tear through armor, were pointed at Diablo standing on the armored vehicle.
Diablo's expression froze for a moment.
But the leading naval officer still maintained restraint in time - it is better to catch someone alive than dead, this is a mission requirement.
So he didn't order his men to shoot directly, but shouted at Diablo:
"You are surrounded!"
"Give up resistance immediately and kneel down in surrender!"
"I…"
Diablo was so angry that he almost vomited blood.
These accidents and mistakes that happened one after another seemed like a cruel joke played by fate, making him furious and helpless.
But he knew he couldn't hesitate any longer.
Looking at the dark muzzle of the gun in the distance, and then looking at Li Qing who was two or three meters away and he could never reach him, Diablo decided to fight to the death:
"King Crimson, let time leap!"
At this moment, time once again surrendered to Diablo.
The time cut was activated, and he and his Crimson King disappeared into the "void", while the American soldiers who were pointing their guns at them had no idea what was happening.
Just like that, Diablo jumped off the armored vehicle and rushed towards Li Qing with the Crimson King.
Li Qing's speed is still not as fast as King Crimson.
He only had less than 30% of his life left, and could only withstand two knife attacks at most.
"It's not too late, it's not too late!"
"I still have time to change my fate!"
Diablo shouted excitedly and calculated in his heart:
"According to Amor's speculation, the rest time of Li Qing's positioning light ball is about 7 to 8 seconds."
"The first attack took 1 second, chasing after Li Qing who suddenly moved to the armored vehicle took 3 seconds, and splitting the armored vehicle's steel plate took 1 second, so now there are at least 2 seconds left..."
"In these two seconds, one second is enough for the Crimson King to catch up with Li Qing, and the remaining one second is enough for me to strike with all my strength."
"As long as we can hit a vital spot like the head, this blow will be enough to kill him!"
He is racing against time and also against fate.
In this timeline that belongs exclusively to him and the Crimson King, Diablo's blood is burning more fiercely than ever before.
First second:
The Crimson King leaped down from the mountain like a tiger and rushed behind Li Qing in an instant.
Second second:
Since he couldn't attack during the time attack, Diablo had to cancel his ability.
At the same time, the Crimson King gathered all his strength, and the moment he returned to "reality", he slashed at the back of Li Qing's head with a powerful hand knife.
However, the result disappointed Diablo greatly.
Li Qing was already on guard this time, and he was listening attentively to every sound around him.
At the moment when the time cut ended, he sensed a huge change in the surrounding sound environment and noticed the sharp hand knife behind him that was slashing towards his head with all its strength.
“As expected!”
Li Qing dodged to the side preparedly.
Although his speed was not fast enough to completely avoid the Crimson King's attack, as long as he could detect it in time, he could at least avoid being attacked in the vital parts.
Just like that, in Diablo's angry eyes that seemed to be about to spit fire...
The Crimson King's knife narrowly grazed Li Qing's head and hit his shoulder heavily.
Li Qing's health suddenly dropped to 5%.
This move, which Diablo placed all his hopes on, failed to kill Li Qing.
At the same time, the cooling of Tianyin Wave ends.
A soft white ball of light flew out from Li Qing's right fist and quickly flew away.
"No!"
Diablo roared heartbreakingly:
"Crimson King, come on!"
"Just one more step, just one more step!!"
In terms of time, Diablo actually still has time.
It would take at least one or two seconds from the time the Heavenly Sound Wave hits the target to the time Li Qing flies away.
However, at the moment when the time limit ended, the American soldiers standing by with guns in the distance also reacted instantly.
"The terrorist moved..."
"He's after the wounded soldier!"
Although they didn't know how Diablo jumped off the armored vehicle while they were "dazed", these soldiers who had been ready for battle pulled the trigger immediately:
"shot!"
"Cover the surviving brother!"
At this moment, dozens of flames bloomed in the distance.
These soldiers were well-trained and prepared. Even though they were dazed by Shi Xue's attack, they didn't make any mistakes.
Those supersonic bullets shot out in the flames, spreading a deadly net towards Diablo's body.
The next moment, Diablo would be engulfed by this terrifying metal storm.
His body would turn into bloody mist under the large-caliber bullets from the vehicle-mounted machine gun, and his head would be shattered into pieces in the dense rain of bullets.
“Damn it!!”
Diablo knew he had no choice.
If he didn't continue attacking Li Qing, he would never have the chance to stop Li Qing from escaping.
However, if he continues to attack Lee Sin, he won't be able to use Time Slash to dodge the rain of bullets.
By then, Li Qing will die, but Diablo himself will also die horribly.
At this moment, he has only one choice:
"The Crimson King—"
"Let time fly!"
Diablo once again started the time-slicing and became a non-existent existence independent of the timeline.
Theoretically speaking, after using the Crimson King with a duration of E, it will take a short rest before it can activate its ability again.
But Time Cut is a stand ability after all, not a system skill.
The cooldown time of system skills is clear and cannot be changed, but the "rest time" of stand abilities is not so fixed.
For example…
If the Crimson King shaves off more than ten seconds of time in one go, then it will indeed need a short rest before it can use its Stand ability again.
But the Crimson King just slashed away two seconds of time. This short period of time does not consume too much mental energy and can be activated continuously.
Not to mention, using the Stand ability is just like running for a normal person...
Most people might say that they are exhausted after running 1,000 meters, and if they run one meter more they will have to go to the hospital.
But if this person were pointed at by dozens of enemies with guns like Diablo is now, I guarantee he could run another 1,000 meters without stopping.
Therefore, Diablo can completely launch short time cuts continuously to protect himself from being hit by bullets.
However…
"It's over!"
Although he avoided the bullet and saved his life, Diablo felt as heavy as if he had died.
Because while he entered the time-slashing state to dodge the bullets, Li Qing's Sound Wave had successfully hit the target in the distance.
Before Diablo could find a safe position to launch another attack, Li Qing's figure had already transformed into an elusive phantom, speeding away into the distance.
When this short time slash was over and Diablo was standing aside to avoid the rain of bullets...
His fateful enemy had disappeared into the wall next to the street.
At this moment, the soldiers who discovered that their bullets had missed were all stunned.
They only felt a flash before their eyes, and the surviving "comrade" disappeared, while the strangely dressed "terrorist" inexplicably appeared a few seconds away.
“Aaaaaaah!”
“He ran away…He ran away again!!”
Diablo howled to the sky, roaring in anger.
He suppressed his unprecedented anger and cursed at the American soldiers in his fluent English:
"Are you guys stupid?!"
"That bald guy just spoke in Italian - have you ever seen an American soldier asking for help in Italian?!"
"Um??"
The leading naval officer frowned and shouted in a serious tone:
"He just spoke pure American English, and judging by his accent, he's a great guy from Brooklyn."
"You lunatic...what are you talking about?!"
The officer vaguely realized that the strangely dressed guy in front of him might be mentally ill.
Terrorists already have extreme ideas, and those with brain problems make it even more impossible to communicate.
Therefore, this wise officer quickly gave up the fantasy of making Diablo submit obediently:
"Shoot, kill first!"
