Zhu Tian: Starting from the Stand User

Chapter 48 Resistance
When time flowed again, the body in front of him had disappeared.

A man on a horse was galloping not far ahead.

Lu Chen recognized that person immediately. He was Diego. Diego who had the ability to stop time for five seconds.

Five seconds was still too short. His horse couldn't move during the time freeze. So the three of them still had a chance to defeat Diego and retrieve the saint's body.

Lu Chen, who had climbed onto his horse, warned the other two, "Be careful, this Diego's stand has the ability to pause time for five seconds."

"Stop time? We've encountered enemies who can rewind time before. Stands like this are not easy to deal with."

"So be careful, he likes to throw knives after stopping time."

After chasing for a distance, Lu Chen and the other two reached the river.

Diego was riding a horse across the river.

This was a great opportunity for Lu Chen, just like flowing water, which was a very soft thing. The constant use of substitutes during this period had already improved Lu Chen's abilities. He now had more routines, and the soft things in life were simply countless.

Heartsteel punched the water.

Diego's horse hooves were immediately trapped by the river water, and then the horse's legs were broken due to its own speed.

The sudden stop threw Diego off the horse, and the saint's body was also thrown extremely far away.

The soft surface of the river was now as hard as steel. At Diego's horse speed, falling onto it would surely result in serious injuries.

Diego's Stand World was activated and caught him in the air, preventing him from falling to the ground.

However, because his horse was injured, he could no longer escape.

Yet Diego remained confident, for his ability to stop time was [invincible]. No one could defeat a world with its own unique time. Not even three enemies!
Lu Chen also believed that when dealing with an evil heretic like Diego, there was no need to talk about the code of conduct. Now it had to be a righteous three-on-one fight.

When Johnny saw Diego fall off his horse, he immediately activated the claw bullet, and the Fang 2 bullet flew towards Diego.

Lu Chen's substitute, Mind Steel, also flew towards Diego. Jero was at the back, having to pick up the fallen iron ball first.

Seeing the enemy launch an attack, Diego once again paused time to dodge Johnny's claw bullet. Then he threw the throwing knife he was carrying at the Oriental man that the President mentioned was the most difficult to deal with.

At this moment, the world surrendered to Diego.

Five seconds passed and time began to slip away.

A row of flying knives suddenly appeared in front of Lu Chen.

Lu Chen, who had always been on guard against time stopping, had been trying to harden his skin since Diego fell off the horse.

The flying knife made a thud as it struck his skin. Seeing that his moves had no effect, Diego felt that the President was right. And that Jello was also an opponent that the President feared.

Johnny, whom he despised, dealt Diego the most fatal blow. The claw bullet he dodged hit Diego's horse, and the bullet mark turned back and climbed directly onto Diego's body and exploded.

A huge gap appeared on Diego's chest. Johnny, whom he despised, was the most dangerous killer.

Furthermore, gravity-based Stands can also gain the ability to move while time is stopped. Johnny's Stand, Ya, is a gravity-based Stand, so he's somewhat resistant to time stops. During the time stop, his claw bullets continued to fly towards Diego. Several more claw bullets approached his face, forcing Diego to stop time again.

The Stand world emerged and flew towards Johnny. Killing the Stand user would automatically neutralize his attack. The Stand prepared for attack. Time began to flow again.

The Stand World punched Johnny hard, but at the most critical moment, it was hit by the iron ball thrown by Jello.

The claw bullet hit Diego in the face, and the hungry and thirsty man died again at the hands of the three men.

At this time, several Valentines also appeared here. They ran towards the body thrown aside as fast as they could.

These were ordinary Valentines. They hadn't accepted D4C as their substitute. They were merely the President's last hope in obtaining the Saint's remains. If possible, he still hoped to obtain the Saint's remains himself. This was Valentine's last resort.

Lu Chen removed the solid effect of the river surface, and they stumbled and fell into the river.

Lu Chen removed the solidity effect on his body and drove the horse towards the body.

These Valentines who had no stand abilities were easily dealt with one by one by Lu Chen's stand, Steel of the Body. Without a stand, they were at a great disadvantage in the battle.

Standing in front of the body, Lu Chen suddenly had many thoughts. Johnny no longer needed this body. So, could he take it?

Looking at the intact remains of the saint, it was impossible for Lu Chen not to be moved. And now he also had the ability to take it away. No one could stop him. He only needed to take the saint's remains and leave this world to possess this luck forever.

Lu Chen suddenly felt a throbbing in his heart, as if everything was about to attack him.

He suppressed his inner uneasiness and walked towards the intact body, feeling that the whole world was full of malice towards him.

The saint's remains belong to all mankind in this world, and they will inevitably show great resistance to someone like Lu Chen who has the ability to take it away from this world.

A saint will not leave this world, he will leave happiness in this world.

Just as Lu Chen's hand was about to touch the body, he suddenly realized the immense danger. It was as if the entire earth was against him. If Lu Chen didn't stop, there was no telling what danger would arise.

The ground seemed to be about to crack at any moment, the sky was thick with dark clouds and lightning, and the grass and trees began to spread. It seemed that if Lu Chen moved again, the whole world would attack him in the next moment.

So Lu Chen gave up the idea of taking the saint's body away. If he tried to forcibly seize the body, he would end up standing shoulder to shoulder with Kaz.

As the outstretched hand was put back, the uneasy feeling disappeared.

"Would you like to go with me to see other worlds? Worlds with different scenery and human beings?" Since he couldn't take it away by force, it would depend on whether he could convince this legendary saint with words.

A finger bone from the intact saint's body suddenly fell to the ground, as if it was a reward for Lu Chen. Or perhaps it was a part of him that was willing to follow Lu Chen out of this world.

Lu Chen stepped forward and picked up the finger bone. In an instant, the finger bone merged into Lu Chen's right hand. Lu Chen felt that this finger bone might bring him luck.

The other two also came to the side of the saint's body at this time.

Johnny looked at Lu Chen putting his outstretched hand back and couldn't help asking: "Aren't you going to take the body away? I don't need it now." He knew that Lu Chen was also longing for the body.

Lu Chen shook his right hand and said, "No, I've already taken what I can take away. Greed is not a virtue."
