Zhang Xiao frowned in his heart, but there was no expression on his face, he was still approaching step by step, just secretly vigilant.

Seeing this, Joseph still didn't care, and even showed his stand-in.

As he stretched out his hand, the red thorns wrapped around his hands and shoulders again, not aggressive, but still eerie.

"Alternate Substitute Messenger, since you guessed my identity, you must also know my stand-in "Purple Hermit", but you see, my stand-in is a little different from what you know, right? ”

As if he didn't expect Zhang Xiao to answer, Joseph touched his red thorn stand-in and asked himself: "Not only do they have different colors, but also their abilities and strengths. ”

Joseph continued: "The original purple hermit possessed the ability to read and write, and by beating cameras, televisions, and other objects with image functions, they were able to obtain some future signs related to themselves. ”

Joseph said this and raised his head to look at Zhang Xiao, "It is because of this ability that Jotaro and I will return to Neon from the United States, I accidentally read a photo, and I actually saw the huge demon behind the fight...... Looks like that demon is you. ”

Without waiting for Zhang Xiao to say anything, Joseph continued: "But this is originally the ability of the Purple Hermit, not what I want to say now, what I want to say is the newly acquired ability of the Purple Hermit now......"

Joseph said, shaking hands again, the red thorns on his body rose and fell, "This ability is ......"

Zhang Xiao couldn't help but be attracted to attention, his eyes looked at those red thorns, who knew that at this time, Joseph suddenly stretched out his hand in the direction of Zhang Xiao, and the undulating red thorns swelled, surging towards Zhang Xiao like flames.

Although Zhang Xiao was not shocked, he had long been wary of Joseph - this JOJO, who was not strong in the original book, but was known for his wit and trickery; At this time, he was a little surprised when he saw the surging red thorns, but there was no surprise on his face, his arms turned, and the ghost-headed knife drew a circle in front of him, tearing open the surging thorn curtain and rushing through the obstacle with his own sharpness.

However, Zhang Xiao, who rushed through the curtain of red thorns, thought that there was no one in front of him and would see the back of Joseph who had fled again, but he didn't expect that waiting for him was a familiar black shadow.

Bang!

Zhang Xiao only had time to bow his head slightly, and his head was kicked again, and the difference was that this kick was heavier and heavier than the previous sneak attack!

Zhang Xiao's body flew up involuntarily, and even faintly heard a rattling sound from the cervical spine.

Fortunately, it was just an illusion, Zhang Xiao was wearing armor this time, and he was also wearing a skull helmet on his head, although this thing was condensed from a nightmare like smoke, but it was extremely unreasonably strong and tough, which greatly cushioned Joseph's sudden increase in strength, and did not seriously injure him.

"Oh, it looks like a close-range strength-type stand-in, but is it mainly a combat ability for the "equipment" amplification body? It's quite a wonderful stand-in. ”

Seeing that Zhang Xiao was not hit hard, Joseph did not pursue, but stopped and talked eloquently, analyzing Zhang Xiao's stand-in ability with great interest.

Zhang Xiao moved his neck and squinted his eyes, he didn't care about Joseph's words, but stared at the red thorns on Joseph's body that seemed to be alive and conscious.

Those thorns have become more numerous at some point, and some are thick and some are thin, thick like snakes, "staring" at Zhang Xiao with hostility; And the thin ones were even stranger, like stitches, piercing left and right, sewing up the horrible wounds on Joseph's body.

After a while, the wound on Joseph's body was stitched up, and then in front of Zhang Xiao's eyes, little by little, it completely healed, scabbed, and finally disappeared completely, as if he had never been injured!

This scene made Zhang Xiao raise his eyebrows, "The ability to heal?" ”

But he touched his neck and shook his head, he remembered very well that Joseph's strength was definitely not that great before, to say that the only difference between before and now, that is, Joseph is now showing a stand-in.

"Is this the new ability of the Red Thorns? Increases Joseph's Constitution in all directions...... Is this where his strength, speed, and even his ability to heal himself come from? ”

Zhang Xiao didn't understand the principle of this stand-in, and he didn't know why the purple hermit had such a mutation.

No, it should be said that Zhang Xiao doesn't understand why the T virus can bring such an abnormal change to the purple hermit.

Zhang Xiao is not stupid, and he can't forget everything he saw in the underground research just now, the arrival of Joseph, the difference between Joseph and "history", and the strange changes of Joseph's stand-in, a little thought can connect the two.

However, these problems are not important to Zhang Xiao now, Joseph's stand-in change is not important, and it is not important how Joseph rejuvenates, the most important thing now is to kill Joseph...... Kill Jotaro Kujo!

In the dark, Zhang Xiao had a feeling that if he couldn't kill Jotaro Kujo here, he would never have the chance to complete the Brave Trial and return to his own world, and to kill Jotaro Kujo, he had to kill Joseph, a roadblock!

Zhang Xiao didn't feel wrong, Kujo Jotaro was at the trough of his fortune at this time - from the last storm of Odin just now that his last fortune was exhausted, and his fortune was running to the trough at this time; But if you don't grasp such an opportunity and can't really kill Jotaro Kujo, then the continuous blows and all the setbacks will only make him stronger and stronger.

So when his fortune crosses the lowest point, it will be reversed again, and he will become the son of the omnipotent world again!

Zhang Xiao didn't fully understand this, but he instinctively knew that what was in front of him was his last chance.

Understanding this, Zhang Xiao no longer had any reservations, and urged his mental power to control the nightmare with all his might.

The mouths of the many skeletons up and down his body suddenly spewed out black smoke, which could not be turned into sharp and sturdy weapons like the red mist in his hands, but they also had the ability to mimic, turning into long strips of ...... Tentacle!

Zhang Xiao, who seemed to be a tentacle monster, put a lot of pressure on Joseph, he stopped being verbose and took the initiative to attack, and the red thorns on his hands rolled back and wrapped around his body, making him feel like he was wearing a tattered and hideous thorn armor.

It's just that Zhang Xiao didn't attack with his tentacles as Joseph thought, but instead the tentacles hung down and fell to the ground, rolled up the surrounding pieces of rubble, and crushed them into powder with a slight force, and then the suction cups hidden in them sucked all the powder into it.

Seeing this, although Joseph didn't know Zhang Xiao's plan, he still held his own thorn armor and was strong, and he chose to rush up without hesitation and fight Zhang Xiao in close combat.

He is not arrogant, but because he is confident that the red thorns on his body will make Zhang Xiao's tentacles suffer enough - his thorny armor is not an ornament, this is the strongest counterattack against the close-range stand-in!

The red thorns, which are far tougher and more powerful than the original purple hermit, are definitely the biggest nightmare for all stand-ins who fight with their bare hands - because the law of damage mapping exists (most close-range stand-ins, once they are injured, the main body will also suffer the same damage), so even Jotaro Kujo can't ignore such damage!

It's a pity that he didn't know that Zhang Xiao's nightmare would not be mapped to the body just because he was injured, and ...... He didn't even see how Jotaro Kujo was seriously injured before.

Under the cover of the tentacles, Joseph didn't even see Zhang Xiao's right hand flip, and the ghost head knife in his hand instantly melted and turned into a pistol again, which made him lose the last chance to escape.

When he rushed to the front and waved his thorny arm to give Zhang Xiao a good look, the tentacles suddenly separated, revealing Zhang Xiao who raised his hand and raised his gun behind him.

Growing up in the Western world, Joseph certainly knows more about the power of firearms, but although he is not panicked, he uses the smallest movement to avoid the direction of the gun, and at the same time frantically urges the red thorns to make them denser and thicker, in an attempt to reduce the damage of the gun, however......

Bang——!!

Shots rang out, dust erupted, and the "scattered bullets" shot through the cracks in the thorns literally killed Joseph.

"Ah——!!h

Joseph Joestar had no idea that a pistol could shoot shotshots, and moreover, these were shotshots that could explode!

The dense dust undoubtedly caused a dust explosion, and with a flash of fire and a wave of air, Joseph, who had been almost beaten into a sieve, was once again unsuspecting and swept away by the zero-distance explosion and flew out again.

Zhang Xiao didn't hesitate at all, followed closely, flipped over in his hand, and the pistol turned into a ghost-headed knife again, and slashed at Joseph's head, who had not yet landed and did not know how to die!

No matter how it mutates, Zhang Xiao doesn't believe that Joseph will not die, which is a key point that all T-virus infected people cannot erase.

Bang...... Gollum –

Without any accidents, Joseph, who fell to the ground, separated his head, rolled his head twice with his eyes open, and landed next to Jotaro Kujo, who was still unconscious.

Those dead eyes stared at the unconscious Jotaro Kujo, as if he had something unspeakable to say to him.

Pity...... He couldn't seem to open his mouth anymore.
