Chapter 234 You Have Grown Up
Finally waited for it.
Li Qing's dead heart trembled slightly.
He may have lost, but they didn't.
He endured the pain and bled and persisted until now, and God finally did not let him down.
"call…"
Li Qing breathed a sigh of relief.
The pain that had been suppressed for so long burst , and his scarred body finally collapsed to the ground.
He collapsed to the ground with powerlessness and relief, falling into the pool of blood that was still warm:
"Thank you, Mr. Jotaro."
"I almost..."
Li Qing, who survived the disaster, subconsciously looked at Jotaro, but the words of gratitude were choked in his mouth:
Because the Mr. Jotaro he saw was the 70-year-old version.
Jotaro didn't prepare any ice cubes, nor did he bring any companions with him. He walked in alone with the effect of a stand that looked like he would die heroically.
His hair, which was connected to his hat, had turned silver over the years, and his resolute face was covered with deep wrinkles.
Although his figure was still as tall and sturdy as a little giant, his originally muscular body made of steel and iron had inevitably shrunk a little.
The one who came was not Jotaro, but Master Jotaro.
"Brother, no, uncle..."
Li Qing's expression froze, and he blurted out a question full of resentment:
"Didn't you prepare ice when you came?!"
"No."
Jotaro walked over slowly.
The tone was as calm as if someone had forgotten to bring an umbrella when going out.
“No, no?”
Li Qing almost choked to death by this sentence:
When he was analyzing the enemy's capabilities, he was talking to himself the whole time, just like performing a stand-up comedy, in order to send all the key information to his companions on the other end of the phone.
Now that you know the intelligence, you should know that you need to prepare ice to cool down in order to maintain combat effectiveness in the face of an aging enemy.
So, how can you come here without bringing ice?!
Aren’t you just asking for death?
Although Jotaro's invincibility is known to the world, Li Qing has also witnessed the power of time stop from the phantom Dio...
But Dio is an immortal vampire. Can you, Jotaro, compare to him?
Moreover, their time stops for 5 seconds, while yours only stops for 2 seconds.
I don't know who killed that invincible monster, why are you so reckless, Jotaro?!
It’s interesting... Since Jotaro and Polnareff both avoided talking about it, Li Qing and others still don’t know what story Mr. Jotaro had with Giorno’s father.
Therefore, after knowing the existence of Jotaro, Lee Sin has always secretly regarded him as a copycat and weakened version of Dio:
Although still very powerful, he is only one person after all.
As humans, we have our limits and cannot resist aging.
No matter how powerful the Stand is, how can it fight if it's too old to move?
Jotaro's quick support is certainly touching, but such a reckless act may not only fail to achieve the purpose of rescue, but will also increase unnecessary casualties.
Li Qing thought so in his heart, and then...
Jotaro continued to approach steadily without being moved, and soon his tall and mighty figure, even after aging, stood in front of Bessie.
He gently straightened the slightly tilted brim of his hat, and the aura revealed in his movements suddenly made Li Li feel inexplicably reassured:
"Ice is not that easy to get. Several of your companions who were looking for ice have not returned yet."
"Since the situation was urgent, I tried to enter the station alone - the result was acceptable."
"Although my body has aged a lot, I should have no problem fighting."
As he said this, Jotaro tried to clench his fists.
The muscles that seemed to have shrunk and degenerated suddenly expanded with this grip, making Jotaro's coat look taut.
"Damn old man..."
"Don't come over and get in the way!"
Li Qing had already vaguely sensed something, but Bessie was not frightened by the vitality displayed by Jotaro.
Now Bessie only wants revenge and wants Li Qing to pay the price for what he did:
"Go to hell!"
Bessie suddenly raised the fishing rod in her hand.
He had lost his will to fight because he was fooled by Li Qing and was so scared that his bones became limp, so he took back the fishing hook at the last moment when he was about to kill Li Qing.
He would never make such a mistake, such a shame, again.
So, under Bessie's extremely angry swing, the fishhook that almost pierced Li Qing's heart before danced in the air again.
The fishhook pulled the fishing line, which twisted like a swift poisonous snake and pounced on Li Qing.
It moves so fast that the fishing line and hook are almost transparent and difficult to distinguish.
It only took less than a second for it to easily bypass the troublesome muscular old man and take Li Qing's already broken life at the fastest speed.
However…
"Star Platinum!"
Jotaro raised his head, and a sharp light flashed in his slightly cloudy pupils.
A muscular humanoid warrior suddenly appeared in front of him, and at that moment he threw a punch at the flying fishhook.
Star Platinum's punch was not as powerful as his muscular appearance.
Because Lee Sin had already provided his companions with information about the rebound force of the fishing line, Jotaro now used cleverness instead of brute force.
The fist was swung into the air like a phantom, and then it changed into a palm and then into fingers, and grabbed the fishing line as accurately as Zhang Fei threading a needle.
Then, Star Platinum suddenly jumped forward, grabbing the long fishing line.
Its arms danced rapidly in the air, creating a phantom, and the fishing line turned around and made several big circles in front of Bessie.
By the time Li Qing and Bessie had recovered from the attack...
The fishing line had turned around and was tightly entangled around Bessie's own arms, entangled his hands so that he could not move at all and could not swing the fishing rod at all.
“So strong…”
It was the first time that Li Qing saw Jotaro take action.
He couldn't help but be shocked by this kind of cheating performance:
Star Platinum's accuracy and speed when attacking were monstrous, and this was only achieved after its body had been weakened by aging.
Li Qing felt relieved in an instant from his shock.
But Bessie went completely crazy under this unimaginable and unacceptable failure:
"How is it possible... How is it possible..."
"I clearly said I would avenge my brother, how could I be defeated so easily by an old man!"
Such a failure is really despairing.
The opponent completely relied on strength and speed to crush us head-on, and it was a fair and powerful victory.
This advantage is based purely on the absolute power gap, a gap so big that people have no idea how to resist.
But Bessie didn't give up.
He had enough and gave up:
"No...I can't fail like this!"
"If I lose like this, how can I be worthy of my big brother who has always been protecting me from behind!"
Bessie struggled frantically, trying to free herself from the fishing lines that had bound her arms tightly.
He wanted to regain his movement, grab the fishing rod, and continue the fight.
But such struggle cannot untie the restraints, it only makes the strings more tangled as they tremble.
“Damn it, damn it, damn it!”
"Untie it for me!!"
Bessie strained with all her might.
The tangled fishing line became tighter and tighter around my arm.
The circles of thread quickly tore through the skin and cut through the flesh, digging deeply into the bones.
"You'll break your hand if you do this."
There was a slight ripple in Jotaro's calm gaze.
"If it's destroyed, then it's destroyed..."
"If I don't grow up now..."
Bessie's eyes were already filled with tears:
"Brother can't see it!"
The extremely intense pain spread from his arms to his entire body, piercing deeply into his once weak soul like a sharp blade.
But this pain did not make Bessie retreat. Instead, it made him more deeply understand the realization mentioned by his eldest brother:
"Brother Prosciut..."
"So you have been fighting with this pain?"
"Enlightenment, this is what you call enlightenment..."
Bessie exerted her utmost strength.
He used the fishing line to cut off a circle of flesh on his arm, and then pulled the blood-stained lines off his eroded arm inch by inch.
The white bones shone coldly among the scarlet flesh.
And Bessie actually used such a broken arm, shaking and holding the fishing rod tightly:
“Even if your hands are cut off or your feet are chopped off, you must never let go of the fishing rod.”
"Brother, I remember what you said!"
Bessie swung the fishing rod with all her might, with blood splattering everywhere.
“Ahhh…”
Jotaro sighed with deep emotion:
"Li Qing, you really messed with some serious guys this time."
The fishhook came flying again, and this time the fishing line was clearly stained with blood.
Jotaro raised his head and looked directly at this strange enemy, with a hint of respect in his eyes:
"Star Platinum—"
"world!"
Time stands still at this moment.
The blood, the fishing line, and Bessie's crazy and determined face were all frozen in front of Jotaro.
Star Platinum waved his hand to clear the stagnant fishing line in the air, and took a big step forward towards Bessie:
"Ola Ola Ola Ola!"
"Ola Ola Ola Ola!"
"Ola Ola Ola Ola!"
"Ola Ola Ola Ola!"
The wind blows wildly in the still time.
Soon, the time stop ended, and the fist force that had accumulated to the extreme began to act on reality.
Bessie suddenly flew backwards in confusion and despair.
His body hit the side of the train like a cannonball, leaving a shocking dent in the solid steel body.
Then, Bessie's body fell to the ground with a bang.
He fell through the gap between the platform and the train, onto the tracks below, into a pool of hot blood.
"Hey... why is there blood on the rails?"
The attack was too fierce, the failure was too sudden.
Bessie's brain didn't have time to react, and she only noticed the blood beneath her body in a daze.
He just fell here, so the blood on the railroad tracks is certainly not his.
Li Qing has been on the platform, and his blood will not flow here.
Tick, tick, tick.
The faint sound of dripping blood rang in my ears.
Bessie, who was already seriously injured and on the verge of death, raised her head with difficulty, and what she saw was...
"Prosciutto...Brother!"
The tears in Bessie's eyes burst like a flood:
"So you are right here, not far from me."
"I'm sorry...it's all over..."
He was trembling all over, and his voice was choked several times:
"I...can't even... avenge you..."
"I... am so... useless!"
Prosciutto had long been speechless.
He could only look at his little brother crying in despair in front of him, his eyes blurred:
"No matter how long it takes, you still haven't gotten over your habit of acting like a spoiled brat."
"but…"
Prosciutto slowly closed his eyes:
"You've finally grown up, Bessie."
