Chapter 229 The Last Life
The situation in the stand-in battle could be reversed at any time.
The closer we are to victory, the more we cannot take it lightly.
This is the experience Proshute has accumulated after many battles.
So even though he coveted the box to death, he did not rush up to rob it, but approached carefully step by step.
During these few short seconds, Prosciutto was observing.
Observe Li Qing's will and his body.
Li Qing's spirit was extremely full and his will was so strong that he didn't look like an old man with half his body buried in the ground.
However, compared with his strong fighting spirit, his body is not so strong:
The skin covered with age spots had begun to turn from yellow to gray, and the shriveled and contracted muscles were tightly attached to the bones like burnt chicken legs.
Especially the intermittent and extremely weak breathing, the difficulty in breathing, it is not something that can be acted out by any acting skills.
Proshute finally confirmed that Li Qing was really old.
He is so old that he can hardly walk, and his ears have degenerated and lost their special functions. I am afraid he doesn't have any trump cards anymore.
"Die heroically!"
Proshute finally took a step forward.
He died a heroic death. At this moment, the evil substitute with eyes all over his body raised his fist high towards Li Qing.
The punch moved slowly, but the force of the punch was visible to the naked eye.
But this punch contained the power of long-range exploration. With the blessing of such tremendous force, the punch was as slow as a mountain slowly pressing down.
Especially for Li Qing, who is now old and frail.
He had no power to fight back at all.
Li Qing was hit directly in the chest and abdomen by this punch, and his hunched back suddenly arched high under the impact.
This old body was shaking violently like a tractor, and its fragile bones were pulling on its dry skin, making it seem like it would fall apart at any moment.
Li Qing's remaining health of just over 40% was reduced to only 21% by this punch.
He is too fragile now.
but…
"You didn't fall down?"
Prosciutto raised his eyebrows:
He originally thought that Li Qing would collapse under this punch, but the opponent's performance was far more tenacious than he imagined.
Even though he had aged like a dried mummy, Li Qing still persisted and did not fall down.
He tried his best to protect the box in his pocket, and managed to stop his staggering body, and withstand the tidal impact brought by the punch.
Then, Li Qing tried hard to stand firm.
He gathered all his strength together and charged towards Proshutter with all his might.
This is not some hidden card, nor is there any trick.
I just try my best with my will.
"I see…"
Proshute understood Li Qing's determination to rather die than live in disgrace.
He knew that the edge of the platform was not far behind him, and he could clearly hear the sound of the train whirring on the track.
"You want to run into me and fall onto the tracks with me?"
"He was still trying to fight back in this situation, wanting to use the incoming train to die with me..."
"That's a great realization, Li Qing!"
There was a hint of respect in Prosciutto's eyes.
For a man who has enlightenment, he will always remain in awe even if he is an enemy:
"Sure enough, the person who can defeat the boss is definitely not that simple ."
"Your will is strong enough."
"It's a pity... I still lack a little strength."
Prosciutto's emotional voice echoed on the platform, but was soon drowned out by the increasingly loud whistle of the train.
And Li Qing did bump into him.
But the speed is too slow, so slow that it feels like someone is watching a video at 0.5x speed.
Being old is being old. Even if you try your best and risk your life, there is no way you can meet a young and agile person.
Li Qing's desperate charge is not scary at all, just pitiful and sad, just like Don Quixote rushing towards the windmill.
"Die heroically!"
Another powerful punch that could not be avoided.
Li Qing's figure that was rushing towards him suddenly stopped.
The health volume dropped to 1%, and only the last trace of stubborn red remained in the long box.
Li Qing was still trying hard to stand, standing in front of the fist of heroic death, standing in front of Proshut who seemed within reach.
"it's all over."
Prosciutto sighed softly.
Even if he didn't take action now, the fishhook that had already penetrated Li Qing's waist and abdomen would soon take away his pitiful life.
The battle is finally over:
“Die!”
"I will never hold back—"
“This is my greatest respect for you.”
Prosciutto's eyes narrowed.
Hellraiser gathered all his strength into a punch and punched towards Li Qing's chest and abdomen with all his might.
This punch...
What was beaten out was blood.
The health bar above Li Qing's head disappeared instantly, and the last 1% turned into an illusion.
The dry and yellow skin between his chest and abdomen was suddenly torn apart by the heavy punch.
The heroic fist was not strong enough to penetrate the human body, but Li Qing's flesh and blood were now severely aged, and his skin was as fragile and easy to crack as paper.
So, under this full-strength punch, a big fist-shaped hole was actually blown open in his abdomen.
The light in Li Qing's eyes dimmed.
He fell to the ground helplessly, covered in blood.
Breathing stopped instantly, the body stopped trembling, and life came to an end.
"Have a safe trip."
Proshute looked at Li Qing's body in silence:
The "Indestructible Vajra" body has turned back into a flesh body that can be injured and bleed, and the last trace of blood on the top of the head has disappeared.
Obviously, Li Qing's life was ruined by that last punch.
He is the winner, and he will realize his ambitions of the assassination group.
All the contempt and insults inflicted on them by the organization and the boss over the years were finally removed in a glorious way at this moment.
From today on, they will also become the best among people.
There was an uncontrollable ripple in Proshout's heart.
Of course, he did not waste time, but immediately regained consciousness after a brief sigh.
"The boss's legacy will be inherited by our assassination team!"
Proshout quickly leaned down and groped over Li Qing's body to get the spoils that were his.
And Li Qing died heroically.
Even though his blood tank was emptied and he died suddenly on the ground, he was still tightly holding the box in his pocket before he died.
Proshutter hurriedly tried to pry Li Qing's hands apart, which still retained the warmth of death.
Soon, the hands were pried open.
However…
Li Qing's pupils suddenly moved.
His old and weak hands were instantly raised and clasped Proshutter's body which was close at hand.
"What?"
Prosciutto's breathing hitched.
His hair stood up, and his heart, which had just accelerated due to victory, suddenly twitched:
"You're still alive?!"
At this moment, time seems to have stopped.
However, the corners of Li Qing's mouth, which were covered with blood, curled up quietly:
"You're right. My body is too weak right now."
"How could such a weak body be able to be your enemy? How could it push you off the platform?"
"There's no way I can get close to you, so..."
"I'll just have to ask you to come here yourself."
As he spoke, the hands on Proshutter suddenly began to exert force:
"No matter how you control it, people will let down their guard after they win."
"This is human nature, and no one can avoid it."
"the same as you."
Li Qing pushed forward with all his strength.
Although he was old and weak with limited strength, Proshutter still irreversibly lost his center of gravity due to this sudden attack.
His body began to fall backwards, toward the tracks under the platform behind him.
There was no time to stop it.
Because there was only horror in Prosciutto's eyes now:
"Why?"
"I've already drained your life force away, why are you still alive?!"
Li Qing tried his best to drag his broken body to help Proshutter fall.
Seeing that the other party was on the verge of falling off the platform, he gave an answer with a difficult smile:
"I actually have 'two bodies'."
"I will not die until one of them is definitely dead."
"Just now you thought you emptied my health bar with your own hands, but it was actually me who removed the ability myself!"
"That last punch only hit my body."
Li Qing had long discovered a very convenient characteristic of himself:
When he enters the digital form from the physical body, the digital body will automatically consume blood to repair the injuries on his physical body.
When he de-digitizes and returns to his physical body, he will have an unharmed body.
No matter how much blood volume he has, his body will remain intact after the data is released.
This means that Li Qing actually has "two lives".
When the digitized life is about to run out, he can completely exit the digitization and use his second life to continue fighting.
Of course, for Li Qing now, this body is his last life.
Because the health of the digital mode has been consumed to only 1%.
And his body is now suffering from this kind of disembowelment injury.
If the data mode is restarted, he will die on the spot due to the loss of blood volume to repair his injuries.
In short, Li Qing is now a mortal who cannot use his "stand ability".
But it doesn't matter anymore.
"I've already won!"
"I used my last life to deceive your eyes."
Li Qing tried his best to push forward.
Proshute's body fell backwards uncontrollably.
The train roared into the platform.
