"Huh?"

Li Qing's figure froze instantly.

At first, he thought he was too angry and had auditory hallucinations.

But when he sensed the incomparably clear and real sound of breathing and heartbeat behind him, Li Qing knew that something was wrong:

"Dee... Diablo? ”

"Is he really here?!"

Li Qing could indeed tell if the Crimson King had started by perceiving the sound environment, but that had to be if he was concentrating on listening with all his might.

Just now, his mood was infected by that tragic scene, and he didn't calm down at all to observe the situation around him.

Almost... It's just almost...

If Diablo hadn't stopped and said something inexplicably, his head would have been blown out by the Crimson King.

"Digitization!"

Li Qing had palpitations for a while, and hurriedly turned on the data mode to protect himself.

And Diablo, who suddenly appeared behind him, did not hesitate any longer.

When Li Qing entered the data mode and prepared to protect himself, Diablo quickly recovered from the surprise of "whereabouts exposed":

"King Crimson!"

The Scarlet King had already appeared in front of Diablo.

It instantly raised its knotted arm covered with red and white patterns, and slashed out an extremely powerful hand knife towards Li Qing, who was close at hand.

Li Qing instinctively wanted to dodge, but...

Can't hide!

Even if it was upgraded and strengthened, Li Qing still couldn't dodge the hand knife that the Crimson King slashed out with all his might.

Although he has surpassed the limits of human beings, according to the panel data, he is actually just a "force speed double B" now.

And Diablo's Crimson King is not only a "Force Speed Double A", but also a leader in the A class, and its strength and speed are far superior to ordinary stand-ins.

The gap in strength is too big, and even leapfrogging upgrades and enhancements can't make up for such a gap.

Even if Li Qing tried his best to dodge, he couldn't dodge the Crimson King's lightning-fast and heavy attack of Mount Tai.

Hiss –

In a strange sound of flesh and blood tearing, Li Qing's chest was like a rag torn by someone, and it was torn in half under the powerful hand knife.

The split flesh and blood healed instantly under the effect of the digital body, but the Scarlet King's arm was still firmly inserted into Li Qing's chest like a bamboo skewer through a mutton skewer.

It's still a familiar taste, it's still a familiar recipe.

There are no elaborate combos, just explosive blows.

Just like when they met in the morning, Li Qing became the rue in the melon field on a moonlit night.

"Damn...!"

Li Qing's figure trembled.

He immediately focused on his super hearing, trying to find a living person from the vicinity who could withstand the sonic mark and escape.

That's right... Although he said "I want Diablo to get out", but now that Diablo is really out, he wants to escape.

There is no way, the difference in strength is too big.

Although he has a new skill and his body has been strengthened, Li Qing still doesn't know how to defeat Diablo, who has the ability to crush him in a single fight.

However... Before the suitable target of the Heavenly Sonic could be found, Li Qing's right hand that was used to launch the Heavenly Sonic Wave was firmly grasped by the Crimson King from behind.

It was like a father taking his son home, and with his broad and powerful hand, he tightly grasped Li Qing's relatively small hand.

Li Qing had no power to resist at all.

He struggled to retract his right fist, but he couldn't move due to the strange force in the Crimson King's hands.

And then...

The Crimson King pulled out the arm that pierced Li Qing's chest and slammed Li Qing to the ground.

Li Qing was about to resist, but the Scarlet King suddenly stretched out his hand and grabbed the road guardrail next to him, then removed several metal fences from the guardrail, and pinched them into a thick and sharp steel bar with his palm.

"Stay honest with me!"

In Diablo's terrifying shout, the steel bar suddenly pierced Li Qing's right arm, nailing his right hand to the ground.

Li Qing's current situation is already "a certainty".

"Hahahaha."

Diablo's wild laughter rang out.

At this moment, time seemed to freeze in his murderous aura that was almost condensed into substance.

"Now it's... 16:45..."

"Eight hours and 47 minutes have passed since we met in the morning."

As if to vent his long-suppressed anger and uneasiness, Diablo hysterically shouted at Li Qing:

"Seeing my Crimson King, you survived for nearly nine hours!"

"It's... But a crime that can never be forgiven! ”

“.......”

Li Qing didn't speak, just struggled to pull his right hand out of the steel bar.

However, the Crimson King stomped his newly raised arm back.

That foot was like a boulder, so that Li Qing's right arm could no longer move.

"Don't think about it!"

"From the time you boarded the helicopter alone, your time of death was already there."

"I finally forced you out of this city, I finally waited for a chance for you and your companions to get separated, and finally found your traces near the crash site..."

"How could I have let you slip away from me as carelessly as I did in the morning!"

Diablo's voice was cold to the bone:

"Right hand, right hand is your life!"

"As long as I hold this right arm firmly, you don't have any chance of escaping from me."

"Hahahaha."

"Fate... The so-called fate ..."

The Scarlet King stepped on Li Qing to death, while Diablo laughed heartily at this scene:

"I've been trampled under my Diablo!"

"I..."

Li Qing's face was extremely ugly.

The truth is as Diablo said.

After his right arm was stepped on by the Crimson King, he had no way to use the Sky Sonic to lock onto distant targets at will.

The Golden Bell Jar requires an allied target to be within 100 meters to be used, and now he can't count on it when he is separated from his teammates.

As for the "Heavenly Thunder Break" and "Broken Bones" that have just been obtained...

This skill can basically only play the role of icing on the cake, and there is no way to help the current Li Qing solve the fundamental problem of survival.

"What should I do?"

Li Qing once again fell into a desperate situation where there was no way to go to heaven and no way to go down.

And, unlike the Diablo he met in the morning, the current Diablo is more cautious, more focused, and more murderous.

He will not relax at all, let alone give Li Qing any opportunity to take advantage of.

Just like now...

While ostensibly slightly insolent because of emotional catharsis, Diablo didn't actually let his guard down at all.

He stared at Li Qing, and soon found something strange from Li Qing:

"Blood..."

"After the attack just now, he still has seventy percent of his blood left?"

Diablo's expression instantly became serious:

When facing Li Qing in the morning, the Crimson King slashed off nearly 50% of Li Qing's health with a single stroke.

And now, with a hand knife and steel through, Li Qing has only lost 30% of his health.

"How is this possible?"

"Is it the Crimson King's power that has weakened? Nope..."

"It's Li Qing who has become stronger!"

The joy just now was instantly wiped out, and an unprecedented depression surfaced in my heart:

"Yes, it's not just the amount of health..."

"The speed and strength that Li Qing showed when he dodged and struggled just now were obviously much stronger than him in the morning."

"But it's not been nine hours..."

"In less than nine hours, this bald man has grown to such a point?!"

Diablo felt a chill down his spine.

Among the various attributes of the stand-in, the most important thing is not the strength, speed, and persistence, but a very inconspicuous attribute: "growth".

As long as the growth is high, there will be infinite possibilities.

"No... He must not be given another chance to grow! ”

"Today! Right now! Yes, there is! I have to kill him!! ”

Diablo's eyes swelled with murderous aura.

And that kind of vigilance, even fear, of Li Qing's terrifying growth, made him worry about whether his current killing operation would be successful.

To dispel this lingering doubt...

Diablo finally took out his eyes that could see the future:

"The Crimson King—"

"Epitaph!"
