Chapter 42: Life and Death
One was exhausted under Kieran's constant attacks, and the strength of resistance was getting smaller and smaller, but he still underestimated the strength of the other party, and his ability was absolutely restrained by Kieran.
As the best of the timewalkers, Kieran has a very strong ability to manipulate time - time slashing.
Time is a continuous straight line, but with the power of time, Kieran can cut off and cut off parts of this straight line, creating a period of time that only he can experience but others can't.
However, this is not to say that what happened during this time period is gone, and what is about to happen is still happening, it is just that no one other than Kieran can feel this time.
For example, if you're eating rice and Kieran is approaching you, Kieran will skip the process of happening and go straight from the cause to the effect.
In other words, after cutting the time, although you don't know that you are eating, the food is indeed in your stomach, and you are full, and Kieran who has just walked in seems to teleport in front of you.
This is the effect of time slashing, and the most intuitive effect of using it in combat is Kieran's teleportation-like attack.
All he needs to do is cut through the time erasure, the time he dodges the attack and walks to the enemy's side, and the enemy will not notice Kieran's movements, and will think that he teleported.
Of course, this method also has a drawback, that is, in the process of cutting this time, because it is impossible to change what is about to happen, Kieran cannot touch others or cause direct or indirect harm to others during the time of slashing.
But even so, Kieran's ability is invincible, in the eyes of one, Kieran can teleporte to his blind spot and attack himself, but his own attack can't hit Kieran at all.
However, in the battle, Yi also roughly understood the role of Kieran's ability, but he still didn't know where to start, the opponent had more time to think and react every time, and his consciousness couldn't keep up with the opponent's movements at all.
And in terms of the total amount of time power, one does not have an advantage, so this battle is completely a one-sided hanging.
Yi originally wanted to help himself after dragging out the battle and using the ability of time imprisonment to help him limit Kieran's ability in order to find the flaw, but Ren Xing's victory completely disrupted his plan.
Just when he was desperate, he caught a glimpse of lying on the ground, bleeding profusely.
Her life was like a candle in the wind, and there were only a few seconds left in her life, and at this moment, a marquee flashed like a film appeared in front of her eyes.
The power of time converges around him into a human form, and he was born in that situation, and at the first glance when he came to this world, he saw a smile that greeted him.
Later, because of his delicate size and auxiliary ability, he was ridiculed by two and three, and he also doubted whether he had the value of existence.
At that time, it was like I was in hell, and I couldn't see my future.
And the appearance of One changed her life, he gave himself recognition, gave himself warmth, and let him experience love for the first time.
"You must stay with me, I need you very much." This sentence still rings in my ears.
Subsequently, in every battle, he would guard Yi's side and provide him with the greatest help.
Without a strong ability, he relied on his delicate mind and clever mind to win the battle, helping Yi win victory after victory.
And after the battle, Yi will touch his head and praise himself.
"This time, I can't stay with you anymore, one", this was the last thought of Wanton before he died.
Seeing the resolute eyes, Yi seemed to understand something: "Don't! ”
When she didn't hear Yi's words, tears were left in the corners of her eyes, but these tears were mixed with happiness, and her life had the value of existence at this moment.
Using the only consciousness he had, he raised his right hand and aimed it at Kieran's back, and the white light in his eyes shone like lightning in the sky, and it also blinked away like lightning.
"Time is imprisoned."
As with Lifa, several illusory chains appeared around Kieran, and Kieran's power of time was bound.
But Kieran didn't panic at all, and the little time power he had left, in front of Kieran's surging time power like a sea, couldn't restrain Kieran for even a second.
And in this short second, Yi didn't have time to kill himself at all.
However, Kiran miscalculated, and although he was angry in his heart, he still maintained his sanity beyond his feelings, and he didn't know if it was a stroke of genius or premeditation, so he chose another target for attack - Lifa.
One threw out the giant scythe, and the scythe flew straight in front of Lifa, who was still taking care of Ren Xing at this time, and when he realized that the scythe was coming, it was too late to react.
With Lifa as the target, even if Kiran cuts the time, the fact that the Scythe flies towards Lifa will continue to happen during the time it is cut, so that the result of skipping the process is that Lifa died from the Scythe.
Unless......
The scythe was nailed tightly to the heart, blood gushing out, and there was no possibility of saving life.
The tide of battle was reversed.
At the moment before the giant scythe attacked Lifa, Kiran broke through the unbridled time shackles, ran towards Lifa quickly, and at the last moment, used his body to block One's attack.
Kiran, at the cost of his own life, took Lifa's place for death.
"People will never be invincible, because they have vile feelings." Yi smiled, but this smile was a little bitter.
"Think about it with what you have left, giving up on this girl is the best choice, if you die, she won't survive." Although Yi said this, he didn't feel the slightest ridicule, and his eyes were even full of respect.
"Goodbye, Timewalker, I'll see you off."
However, just as Yi wanted to pull out the giant scythe, his face suddenly changed.
He couldn't pull out the scythe that was nailed to Kiran's chest.
Opposite him, an astonishing momentum erupted, Kieran's hand tightly grasped the scythe, and at the same time, the originally pure white eyeballs were bloodshot, and the blood danced like silk in the white eyes, this picture was not only extremely elegant, but also contained violence.
The majestic power of time erupted from Kieran's body, and he had no regard for his own life, only pursuing the ultimate attack, and punched Yi with all his palm.
At this moment, he is no longer a traitor who betrays his people, but an older brother who protects his family.
When the palm wind reached Yi's face, Yi felt like a fragile branch facing the storm, and the bones in his body were about to be broken.
His heart was occupied by fear, and at this time, Yi had no idea of continuing to fight, and he had forgotten what to kill Lifa and Ren Xing, and what to collect the power of time.
Right now, all he has on his mind is to run for his life.
To survive, you must escape.
He didn't dare to stop for a second, so he gave up the giant scythe, jumped backwards, and disappeared into this space out of thin air.
One returned to the entrance of the time rift, this is an archive set up before he set off, as long as enough time power is consumed, an ultra-long-distance archive can be saved, this kind of archive, only one can exist at the same time, which is also Yi's last means of survival.
Breathing a sigh of relief, Yi was still a little afraid, he really couldn't understand why a dying person could still burst out with such a powerful strength.
However, just as he was thinking about where to collect the power of time again to resurrect the king, Yi's neck suddenly went cold.
A sword was resting on Yi's neck, and it was the little boy who was selling newspapers to Ren Xing at the station.
"Demon of Time, we have a lot of things that need to be settled."
"How did he know I was here?", Yi didn't think of the answer to this question before he felt a pain in his neck, his eyes fell to the ground, and consciousness finally disappeared.
Behind the little boy, there was also a lazy and sloppy man with a crown on his head: "Does this kind of thing have anything to do with the destruction of the Northern Empire?" ”
"Don't talk too much, Arthur, this is a gift to an old friend." The boy said, stepping into the rift of time with the scruffy man.
At the same time, in the imperial capital of Deyo, skeletons covered the entire square, and the sand crocodile stood on the sea of skeletons, holding two heads in his hands, and on the left eyes of the two heads, one was written "two" and the other was "three".
"It's not fun." The sand crocodile took a thick cigar from his waist and took a sharp puff in his mouth.
Hilfa walked out of the palace unhurriedly with a blank face, still holding some papers in his hand.
"It's your reward." Hilfa handed a piece of paper to the sand crocodile, then turned and went back to the palace.
"Remember to clean up the outside."
The sand crocodile didn't answer, he looked at the paper in his hand, there were only two photos on it, one with Ren Xing and the other with Lifa.
Staring at the portraits of the two of them, and then looking into the distance.
"Bang-"
The head of the demon in his hand was directly pinched and shattered by the sand crocodile, and the sand crocodile laughed contentedly.
"Looks like there are better toys."

At this time, Ren Xing could no longer hear the system's prompts, he lay in the rain and fell asleep deeply.
And beside him, Kieran's heart had stopped beating, and he just like that, keeping his palm out, quietly dying.
As the power of time dissipated, Kieran's body gradually weathered, eventually turning to dust, leaving no trace in the rain, and his robe fell to the ground, eventually becoming wet with water.
And under the robe, two more things have been preserved.
One of them, is a shabby notebook.
The other one was a small mummy woven with wool, exactly the same as the one hanging on Lifa's body.
