Chapter 11: This Is My Escape Route

Diablo felt humiliated.

He has killed so many people before and after, and no one has ever been able to behave so calmly and indifferently in front of him like Li Qing.

It was as if his vaunted invincibility, his supreme majesty as the Dark Emperor, had been dismissively disregarded.

"Damn!!"

Because the commentary and dialogue don't take time, Diablo doesn't actually have any pauses after the time cut.

He immediately killed Li Qing, who had only 12% of his blood left:

"Crimson King, kill him!"

At this moment, Li Qing's head was only a millimeter away from the palm of the Crimson King.

As soon as the Scarlet King pinched it gently, gently, his head would shatter into a red and slimy paste like a watermelon that had been accidentally thrown to the ground.

But Li Qing's movements were even faster.

This was the most critical moment in his escape plan, and he had long been ready to make the first move:

"Golden bell jar!"

At this moment, a layer of translucent light covering with a glowing light suddenly appeared on Li Qing's body.

It was like a large bubble that suddenly bulged around him.

This is the second skill he learned after moving up to level 2:

"Golden Bell Jar/Iron Cloth Shirt."

[Golden Bell Jar]: "Li Qing bursts next to an allied target, providing himself and the target with a shield that absorbs a small amount of damage for 2 seconds. Three seconds after casting the Golden Bell Jar, Li Qing can cast the Iron Cloth Shirt. โ€

(Range: 100m)

(Cooldown: 12s)

[Iron Cloth Shirt]: "Li Qing can get 25% of his life steal in 4 seconds." โ€

The Golden Bell Jar is Li Qing's second displacement skill, but he doesn't have any "friendly targets" around him now, so naturally he can't use this skill to break through and escape.

Therefore, he can only use the skill of this golden bell jar now to add a layer of shield to himself that is still useful.

"This..."

"And a new stand-in ability?"

Seeing the translucent light mask that appeared on Li Qing's body, Diablo couldn't help but be a little surprised.

However, it's only the next moment...

The light-film, which looked so powerful and magical, shattered.

The Crimson King only increased his strength a little tentatively, and easily crushed the white light shield that was in the way.

"Hahaha."

Diablo laughed:

"The useless bubbles in the first layer want to stop my Crimson King?"

"Underestimate my strength, bald..."

He mocked Li Qing wantonly, but suddenly found that there was something wrong:

Wrong...

The bald man had obviously personally learned the power of the Crimson King, and if his hole cards were all that, then he would not be as calm as he is now.

So, is he bluffing, or is he having another hole card?

What is it about him that will allow him to escape from a desperate situation in front of the Crimson King?

Diablo felt a sense of uncertainty in his heart.

And Li Qing immediately gave an answer that he didn't expect:

"Echo Strike!"

A loud shout.

Li Qing was like a rocket launched by ignition, and in an unexpected attitude, he suddenly flew towards the sky.

He flies fast, so fast that even the Crimson King has a hard time catching up.

And the golden bell shield on his body, which barely blocked the Crimson King's blow, also helped him buy him precious time to escape.

In this way, Li Qing successfully ascended to the sky.

The Crimson King's "range" is only two meters, which means that it can only move within two meters of Diablo's body.

And Diablo himself is just a mortal with a strong body, and he can't stop Li Qing who suddenly rises into the sky.

"How is that possible..."

"How is this possible!!"

Diablo was rarely thrown into shock:

"Why does he fly, is this his new stand-in ability?"

"No..."

"It's not a new stand-in ability."

Soon, Diablo saw something from Li Qing's excessively straight flight trajectory:

"This is the long-range dash ability he originally called, 'Sky Sonic Wave, Echo Strike'."

"It's just..."

He carefully recalled the information about Li Qing's ability:

"Doesn't this ability have to mark the position with a positioning light cluster before you can perform the second stage of high-speed rush?"

"I've been guarding against him from escaping..."

"And when did this bald man launch the locating light?"

"Could it be..."

Diablo's mind flashed: "At that time?!" โ€

"Hahaha..."

Li Qing, who had not yet flown away, launched a 'commentary stop' in the sky in the same way:

"Diablo, you guessed it right:"

"That Tianyinbo, which was dodged by you at the beginning of the battle, is my real hole card!"

"Because, it's not you who is aiming at that Skysound waveโ€”"

"It's about 100 meters behind you, a seagull perched on the eaves!"

"I've already locked on to the seagull's location with the Sky Sound Wave, just waiting for it to fly higher and farther, and then let it fly with me to escape."

"As for the later pistol sneak attack and light shield protector, in fact, they are just tricks."

"I never expected to succeed in a sneak attack, nor did I expect to rely on the golden bell jar to protect myself, but I wanted to use these little tricks to divert your attention and make you think that I have played all my hole cards!"

The Scarlet King is fast.

The only ability in Li Qing's body that could match that speed was the second-stage advance of the echo attack.

The danger is that his fragile little body can't withstand the Scarlet King's swift iron fist.

Therefore, he not only had to use the celestial sound wave to accurately locate the position, but also tried his best to paralyze Diablo's carelessness.

Fortunately, Li Qing succeeded.

He perfectly played a dying man, using a series of small tricks to make Diablo let down his already low vigilance.

"Damn..."

Hearing this, Diablo's expression was already a little distorted:

"I didn't even see such a future!"

The ability to predict the future sounds invincible, but it has limitations.

First of all, Diablo's "epitaph" can only read ten seconds into the future.

Secondly, as a stand-in with a continuous power of E, the Crimson King's domineering ability to predict the future cannot be used continuously indefinitely.

Finally, and most importantly, his "epitaph" is like watching a movie, only seeing a "partial picture" of the future centered on him from a third perspective.

The information that can be contained in a picture is very limited, and it is even possible to mislead the observer.

So, when Diablo activated the ability before...

He only saw Li Qing attacking himself with the Sky Sound Wave, but he couldn't see that the light cluster of the Sky Sound Wave flew over his head and hit a seagull a hundred meters away.

"Damn, shit...."

"My invincible stand-in ability of the Crimson King was actually cracked by this bald man by mistake?!"

Diablo was furious, but there was nothing he could do.

At this moment, Diablo could only watch as Li Qing used a seagull as the positioning coordinates, flying higher and higher in the sky.

Li Qing's flight away has become a fact, and even his invincible ability of "time slashing" can't stop this situation.

"Hahahaha."

Diablo, who was standing on the ground, was already thundering, but Li Qing, who was flying far away in the sky, was still adding fuel to the fire:

"I didn't expect thatโ€”"

"This is my escape route, Diablo!"
