Chapter 269: The Way of Life
Abilities are restrained and weaknesses are exposed, which is undoubtedly the most dangerous situation.
Meloni's heart was pounding, loud enough that even the hearing of Risut could hear it.
This shouldn't be the performance of a veteran killer, but things have taken a turn for the worse until now, and he really doesn't see any hope.
Even if it was the always reliable Risut, Meloni couldn't think of how he could fight Li Qing.
"Boss Risut..."
Meloni silently muttered Risut's name in despair.
In the face of Li Qing, who was approaching step by step, the best countermeasure he could think of was to summon up the courage to put on the courage to die generously with the captain he respected.
And in Meloni's gloomy gaze, Risut acted:
"Metalwork!"
It's still the old-fashioned tactic, using the blade to temporarily block Li Qing's movements.
He had used this trick many times before, and now there were blood-stained blades scattered everywhere under Li Qing's feet.
These pieces of iron from Li Qing's body were disposed of on the ground at will, and the bloodstains on the blade formed a huge visual impact.
Such a sight is not only terrifying, but also a silent reminder to Risut:
The iron in Li Qing's body was about to run out.
This tactic of exchanging time for a latte is about to go untenable, and Risut will soon be unable to stop Li Qing's attack.
But there is no way, although drinking to quench thirst will be poisoned, but if you don't drink it, you will die of thirst immediately.
In the face of the aggressive Li Qing, Risut could only repeat his old tricks to buy time.
But unlike before, he changed his attack thinking this time-
He no longer blocked Li Qing's joints with a blade, but aimed the ability of metal products at Li Qing's ears.
"Huh?!"
Li Qing's eardrums on both sides were punctured by two thin iron nails that "grew".
Although his digital body does not feel pain, he is blind and relies heavily on his ears.
At the moment when the eardrum was pierced by an iron nail, Li Qing's super hearing was instantly blocked.
He almost completely lost his perception of the environment and things, there was darkness in front of him, silence in his ears, and the whole world fell into dead silence.
In this case, Li Qing couldn't even perceive the specific position of the enemy, and he obviously had no way to continue the attack.
"Damn... Is there more of an attack ear? β
"It's true that it only takes two thin nails to destroy my eardrums, but they have the effect of stopping me from moving completely."
"It's more iron-saving than using a blade to block the joint, and it buys them more time."
"That's a great way to deal with it..."
Li Qing forcefully pulled out the two thin nails from his ear, and the broken eardrum was repaired in an instant.
But Risut was clearly reluctant to give him a chance to "see the light of day".
Almost at the same time that Li Qing's hearing was restored, Risut's metalwork once again attacked his ears with precision.
The eardrum, which had just been repaired, was punctured by two freshly baked nails in an instant
The two nails in his ears are like leeks growing vigorously in the ground, which can grow back quickly no matter how many times they are cut.
He was now completely deaf and dumb, unable to hear or see, and could only stand still, cautiously watching his surroundings in the darkness.
"What a nuisance..."
Li Qing frowned tightly, and kept pulling out the iron nails in his ears with his hands and feet.
The two of them pulled out nails one by one and made nails at the other, and the battle that should have been tense and exciting was actually delayed into such a comical confrontation.
The harassment tactics employed by Risut were really annoying to him.
However, this can only annoy Li Qing.
Because he knew very well in his heart that the iron in his body was extremely limited, and no matter how much he saved, Risut would not be able to last long.
Moreover, the teammates behind Li Qing will arrive at any time, and it will only be him who will win if the time drags on so much.
In Li Qing's opinion, Lisute is still struggling in vain.
He was like a shark stranded on the beach, although he still had the strength to grin his teeth for the time being, but the end of death was already doomed when it ran aground.
Li Qing only needs to wait patiently for the enemy to exhaust all his hole cards.
Sure enough, soon...
This ridiculous confrontation of "long nails pulling nails" did not last long.
When Li Qing casually pulled out the newly grown iron nails in his ears, he did not continue to "make iron out of nothing" in his ears as before.
His hearing was restored, and the world became clear again.
He was once again clearly aware of everything around him, and the presence of Meloni and Risut was accurately restored to his mind by the "sixth sense"-like super hearing.
Meloni was still the same, and noticeably, Risut's heartbeat was gradually becoming disordered.
This cold man, who can still maintain a stable state of mind in a desperate situation, seems to have become less calm at the moment.
"I've run out of iron powder..."
"You won't be able to use that annoying trick just now."
Li Qing had already seen through the enemy's reality and reality.
When it came to running out of powder, Risut's heartbeat did uncontrollably speed up slightly.
And at this time, after the long knife cutting and needle pricking, coupled with the negative state loss of suffocation, Li Qing's blood volume was still 80%.
The enemy has run out of ammunition and food, but his health is still safe and abundant.
"In that case... Then it's my turn! β
Li Qing suddenly let out a loud shout.
The previous series of harassment tactics with blades and nails really made him accumulate a sense of manic depression.
He could now finally manipulate this powerful and extraordinary body without hindrance, pouring his power into his enemies with impunity.
So, in Risut's solemn and cold gaze...
Li Qing burst out and slammed on the ground with all his might, accompanied by the slight depression of the cement on the ground, and his sturdy figure suddenly crashed into a wind phantom in place.
His movements are as fast as the cheetahs of the grasslands and the tigers of the mountains and forests.
And Risut has lost the ability to stop Li Qing.
He could only dodge desperately to the side, rolling on the ground in embarrassment.
Lisute's movements are definitely not slow, but in this kind of duel that relies purely on physical fitness, he can't compare to Li Qing in any way.
But in just a moment, Li Qing chased after him and threw himself down in front of Lisut.
Risut had just rolled to the edge of the bridge without hesitation, with only a tall lamppost behind him and a sturdy steel guardrail.
Climbing over the guardrail was the sea, and he didn't even have a way out, and even the space to move around became very limited.
But Li Qing had already arrived in front of him.
The iron fist that was enough to shatter the rock burst through the air.
In the next second, Risut would be hit in the cheek by this punch, and the force of that punch might even kill him on the spot.
But, just in the middle of this...
Li Qing clearly heard that Lisute's heartbeat, which seemed to be disordered, suddenly became calm and orderly.
That kind of calmness, that kind of calm, people can't feel a trace of fear in his heart.
"Isn't it?!"
Li Qing faintly realized that something was wrong.
But at this moment, it was as if time had frozen.
Risut, who had been silent, spoke suddenly, and there was an unwavering determination in his voice:
"Li Qing, you still came over after all."
"If you take the strategy of going out of the power of metal products as you did before, then I really don't have any hope."
"After all, under the absolute power gap, if the weak want to defeat the strong, they must wait for the strong to reveal their flaws."
"Luckily... I've waited for it. β
Risut said coldly.
He is like an emotionless machine that speaks without any emotion.
Li Qing couldn't hear the slightest ridicule or murderous intent in Lisute's voice, but this absolute calm could still make people feel a chill:
"If you change your strategy and want to kill me at close range, you have to take the initiative to get closer to me."
"That way, you don't have to think about it..."
"You're going to follow me here!"
Facing Li Qing's blasted iron fist, Lisute's figure was slightly on one side.
Of course, this side of the body can't do any effective dodging moves, but it just rightly exposes the lamppost behind it.
Li Qing can roughly perceive the outline of an object, and of course he will not "see" such a large street lamp.
But it wasn't until this moment, at the moment when Risut dodged sideways, that Li Qing really noticed the abnormality on the lamppost:
I saw that on that lamppost, there was a sharp knife stuck deep in it.
The tip of the knife was embedded deep into the lamp, tightly connected to the cable that was running through a powerful current.
And the handle of the knife has a thin wire extending from it.
The wire spilled down from the lamppost, twisting and turning to what seemed to be a full meter long.
"Electricity - he used wire to draw electricity from the street lamp!"
Li Qing couldn't help but be taken aback:
"But where did such a long wire come from?"
"Does he have any other iron to use?"
Thinking of this, Li Qing's heart skipped a beat.
At this time, he put his perception to the maximum, and finally realized that the blades that he had thrown to the ground were all goneβ
This slender wire, which pulls a powerful electric current, was recast by Risut with those blades!
In the final analysis, he still used the iron lost in Li Qing's body.
But when all this happened, Li Qing didn't notice it at all.
"I see... The previous attack on my ears was not at all intended to stall for time. β
"He's trying to temporarily block my hearing, so I can't detect the sound of him manipulating iron to make wire!"
Li Qing figured everything out.
Just when he thought that Risut was just delaying time meaninglessly, Risut had seized the opportunity to close off his hearing, and silently set a trap on the streetlamp.
Because of the limited amount of iron, the length of the wire produced is also extremely limited.
After one end was connected to the wire in the street lamp, the wire, which was only five or six meters long, obviously could not touch Li Qing, who was standing in the distance.
And now, in order to completely knock out Risut, Li Qing himself took the initiative to approach him.
This just made up for the gap in distance, allowing him to unknowingly walk into the enemy's trap.
"Metalwork!"
An invisible magnetic force enveloped Risut's mind.
The wire, which was connected to a powerful electric current, suddenly rose into the air like a poisonous snake under the control of the metal work, and pounced on it.
Before Li Qing's fist could hit Lisute's face, the deadly electrified wire had already wrapped around Li Qing's arm first.
Zizi Zizi β
Clearly, Risut heard the sound of electricity flowing freely through Li Qing's body.
Although the digitized body would not be injured, under the stimulation and scorching of his electric current, Li Qing's muscles actually appeared spasms and distortions that he had never seen before.
Just like an ordinary person who is completely immobile after an electric shock, at the moment of the electric shock, a negative state called "paralysis" appears on his system panel.
Li Qing's body froze in place like this, and his muscles were so paralyzed that he couldn't even wave his arms freely.
"He can't move!"
"Electricity is useful to him, he can't move freely now!"
Meloni exclaimed in disbelief.
He never imagined that in such a dark and desperate moment, Lisut would be able to bring him such light.
"Worthy of Boss Risut..."
"If you use electricity, you can not only restrict Li Qing's movements, but also effectively cause harm to him!"
Li Qing's health was rapidly decreasing under the attack of the electric current.
The damage that Lisute did when he ran out of iron before, and the amount of blood he lost in one second after Li Qing's electrocution was not as high as at this moment.
According to this trend, it is really possible for Lisut to kill Li Qing in just a few seconds.
Thinking of this, Meloni was first shocked and stunned, and then couldn't hold back a burst of ecstasy:
"We survived..."
"As long as we can kill Li Qing immediately, we can get out of here as soon as possible."
He made no secret of his inner surprise.
And Risut also breathed a long sigh of relief:
Although he had remained calm on the surface, only he knew what kind of pressure he had just been under alone.
In the face of Li Qing, who suppressed him in all directions, Lisute had to gamble his life to find such a small glimmer of life.
Luckily, he won the bet.
He successfully lured Li Qing into a trap and subdued the formidable enemy with his "poor" ability.
"It's a good performance."
"You can find a chance to break the game under this absolute disadvantage, and you are worthy of being the companion of Proschut."
"You're their boss, aren't you? It didn't disappoint. β
Lisute's efforts were even affirmed by Li Qing, an enemy.
However, after hearing such words of praise ...
Risut's face, which had just been relaxed, suddenly sank again:
Oops-
Li Qing was now paralyzed by electricity and couldn't get out at all, but he was still in the mood to praise his opponent in such a calm tone.
Is this like the words of a "dying man who has strayed into a trap"?
Risut's heart sank.
Meloni on the side suddenly changed color:
"How so..."
"Is there any hole cards he hasn't used?!"
In just one second after Li Qing's electrocution, Meloni's mood experienced ups and downs from despair to ecstasy to fear.
He instinctively didn't want to believe that Li Qing still had hole cards:
"Impossible... Impossible..."
"This guy's body has been paralyzed by the electric current and can't move, how can he get out of Boss Risut's trap?"
"Is it by that ability to 'move at high speeds'?"
"No... It shouldn't be, Li Qing is so electrocuted that it's hard to even wave his arms now, how could he have a way to use that 'positioning light cluster'? β
Meloni muttered to herself in panic.
In this almost static time, he consoled himself with such an analysis.
"Positioning the light cluster... Looks like you know a lot about what I'm capable of. β
"It's true that now my body is electrified and my muscles are paralyzed, and I can't accurately use the sound waves to locate the target."
"However, since you know of the existence of 'Sky Sonic Wave'..."
"Haven't you thought about it - I have such a convenient ability, why didn't I use it when I was fighting just now?"
Li Qing was bathed in electricity, and his expression was so calm that it was frightening.
Neither Risut nor Meloni knew the answer to his question, nor did they know what hole cards Li Qing was hiding.
And now, Li Qing shows it unabashedly:
"Because this skill is the 'emergency escape route' that I keep:"
"As long as I don't cancel it myself, the positioning mark of the Sky Sound Wave will always be on that target's body."
Meloni still couldn't understand what Li Qing said.
But he vaguely felt as if there was a small fluffy thing rubbing his trouser leg affectionately under his feet.
When I looked down, it turned out to be a swallow that came out of nowhere.
"Wait... Swallow? β
Meloni's expression froze:
"This, this is the one... Swallows with positioning markers! β
"Wasn't it thrown in the middle of the road a long time ago... How did you come here?! β
"That's right..."
"This is the swallow you have forgottenβ"
"It's also my escape route!"
Li Qing's body suddenly turned into a phantom, completely getting rid of the entanglement of electricity.
