The Villain Knight Doesn't Want to Be a Hero

Looking at Lin Qiao, who was stuck in time and looked like a statue, Li Teng shook his head.

"There is no time left. Time is flowing again."

The best thing to do at this time is not to get close... just let him be blown up by his own attacks.

He decisively and quickly retreated a distance. Three seconds was still quite tight for him.

Then, time flows again -

boom!

A powerful fatal light bullet that was enough to defeat the Defeated Dragon with one blow exploded not far in front of Lin Qiao.

The strong light instantly engulfed Lin Qiao's figure.

Affected by the impact of the explosion, countless sand and dust spread in all directions.

"Sure enough, there is no attack."

When the smoke and dust were slowly blown away by the breeze, Lin Qiao was revealed. Although she looked a little disheveled, she seemed to be fine.

It just hurts a little!

With a very wide field of vision, after time was restored, Li Teng who retreated several meters away was captured immediately.

There were still traces of his retreating footprints in the sand.

His character was even more cautious than expected...but in this way, he had obtained the most crucial piece of the puzzle.

"One minute and thirty seconds... Well, but to be on the safe side, let's calculate it as one minute—"

"Huh?" Li Teng was stunned.

"This is the cooldown period for you to use Time Stop."

Just like a person who dives into the water, he needs to swim to the surface from time to time to breathe.

It is impossible to stop time without any interval or with only a few seconds of CD.

Although it cannot be guaranteed to be completely correct, this is the shortest interval between Li Teng's two uses of time stop so far.

That is to say, during this period of time, there is a high probability that he will not be able to use time stop.

"And judging from the footprints on the ground, your time stop is only about 4 seconds at most."

Although what can be done with this time depends entirely on the individual, it is undeniable that the time is indeed too short.

This can be seen from the fact that after he stopped time, he immediately chose to escape.

"But so what? Or do you want to defeat me with this information that everyone knows?"

"No, I am just informing you that your life is like a candle in the wind, and I will extinguish it myself next."

"?"

"By the way, I already know Star Platinum's greatest weakness."

"..."

What nonsense are you talking about?

The biggest weakness of Star Platinum? How come I, a user, don't know this?

Li Teng curled his lips: "If you want to talk about me as the original body, then I advise you to shut up..."

"The first is the time stop that you are so proud of."

He interrupted Li Teng forcibly.

"——It cannot be denied that it is indeed a powerful ability, but this ability itself does not cause any harm."

"If it was a highly lethal substitute like Purple Smoke or Sub-Earth Miasma, I would have been killed when I rushed towards you out of anger."

In other words, the effect and power of the time stop technique depends entirely on the user.

Moreover, since the duration is relatively short and he is still an ordinary person as the main body, as long as he creates a range attack that has to be avoided like just now, the so-called time stop is just a more convenient means of movement.

"As for the second, it is Star Platinum itself."

In terms of strength and speed, Star Platinum is the ceiling among all Stands... except for that embarrassing range.

This means that it can only move very close to the main body.

At first glance, the above two points seem to be useless information.

But for ordinary people like Lin Qiao who cannot see the substitute at all, it is the best help.

After all, if it is a long-distance operation type, then he can only passively take the beating.

Moreover, it can only move near the main body, which means that as long as the attack range is large enough, its main body can be killed.

At this moment, Lin Qiao started the acceleration mode again.

"So fast! Much faster than before!"

Li Teng could only barely catch a glimpse of his figure through the Platinum Star, and he said "Oh no" in his heart.

It was still the same charge, still the same punching action, but the difference was that he had just used the time stop and could no longer use it again in a short period of time.

"Platinum Star!"

The sandbag-sized fist carried a tremendous force and swung towards Lin Qiao's head with a sound of breaking through the air.

Bang!

In the deafening air explosion, the air flow spreading towards the surroundings instantly raised a cloud of dust.

The scarlet armor on the side of Lin Qiao's head was also completely shattered.

but--

"This is the opportunity I've been waiting for!"

"What!?"

Lin Qiao did not fall down despite being hit hard by Platinum Star.

He tried to steady his body as it was about to fall to one side.

He had been accumulating strength from just now, and his clenched left fist, which was wrapped in red flames, swung forward the next moment after he was attacked.

Although it looked like just air, he knew that there was something there.

"——So, being a close-range power stand is your biggest weakness!!!"

boom--!

The flame wrapped in the left fist exploded in the air instantly after it touched something.

But if you change the angle of view, you will find that Star Platinum's body, which is more muscular than that of a bodybuilder, has some cracks.

"Ahhhhh!!!"

A mouthful of blood suddenly spurted out of his mouth, and Li Teng screamed and flew backwards.

Several of his ribs on his chest were broken visibly.

——Damage feedback.

Since it is impossible to bypass Star Platinum and attack the main body directly, just use this mechanism to kill the stand directly.

Chapter 17 A Battle That Cannot Be Lost

"Tsk, it didn't hit the head..."

Damn, it turns out that not being able to see a stand-in is a problem.

Moved my neck.

Because he was hit with all his strength by Star Platinum, he now felt a little dizzy.

but……

"There's plenty of time after you pass out."

"Now all I want to do is to tear your head off!"

As for that attack just now... it's a pity that I didn't kill him with one blow, but just think of it as advance interest.

Even in Lin Qiao's opinion, this was too cheap for him!

"Ah..."

Li Teng, who had fallen on the sand in the distance, got up from the ground cautiously, panting.

Even though Star Platinum had used extremely precise techniques to bend his broken bones, it still couldn't change the severe pain he felt just by breathing.

Looking at Lin Qiao who was about to chase him with murderous intent, he felt his internal organs churning.

Is that guy crazy?

No, there is no doubt about that.

That kind of desperate, even desperate, fighting style was not something a normal person could come up with from the beginning!

"Ahem... Damn it... I was so careless!"

He coughed twice, and even breathing felt like it was being cut by a knife, and he coughed up two mouthfuls of blood on the ground.

After wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, he looked over there at Lin Qiao.

"I admit that you did exceed my expectations a little, but if you think you're sure to win, you're totally wrong!"

"——Come back, Arrow!"

That's right, since melee combat will be targeted due to the short time stop, just use arrows.

Just like killing that android before.

Throw the arrow out when time stops. Even if it can only make a small hole, the virus on the arrow is enough to kill him completely.

Moreover, at such a short distance, it could pierce his chest before time recovered, leaving him no possibility of defense.

If only I could use arrows!

however--

"The arrow... didn't come back? Why!?"

One second passed, two seconds passed, three seconds passed...

The arrow, which was highly expected, did not respond to the call and automatically return to Li Teng's hands as it did in the past.

In fact, it seems that it has not even moved.

"Of course, you can't get the "arrow" back."

Lin Qiao's devil-like voice reached Li Teng's ears, which made him even more nervous.

In fact, if he could run to the place where A2 fell before and take a look, he would probably know the reason.

The arrow that pierced A2's chest swayed slightly, as if it wanted to respond to its master's call... but it was firmly fixed there.

——At the last second before stopping, A2 used both hands to tightly grasp the arrow that pierced his core and locked all the joints of his body.

He forced the arrow, which was the most threatening to Lin Qiao and would kill anyone who touched it, to remain in his body.

"It's that damn android again...!"

the second time!

This is the second time I’ve ruined my own business!

Realizing that he would not be able to retrieve the arrow unless he went there himself, Li Teng's body trembled slightly and he bit his lower lip tightly in anger.

At the same time, Lin Qiao's expression became increasingly gloomy.

His right hand climbed onto the joystick of the Evolution Drive.

"There are still thirty seconds left to one minute, so you'd better save your energy until then."

"—in case I don't scream loud enough later!"

"KillbusSpiderFinish!"
