Chapter 124 Yellow Temperance, The Hanged Man, Unable to Rise Again! The Emperor, Defeated!

Yellow Temperance lunged at Polnareff, who was closest to it!

Polnareff reacted quickly, unleashing a slash with his silver chariot!

"clang!"

The blade struck Yellow Temperance, but it was as if it had sunk into sticky rubber. Most of the force was absorbed and neutralized, leaving only shallow marks on the surface, which quickly healed.

"Useless!" Labasso laughed smugly. "My Yellow Temperance can absorb any impact and can devour and absorb any organic matter it comes into contact with!"

Yellow Temperance transformed once more, like a giant gelatinous bag, attempting to completely engulf Polnareff!

"Magician 'sRed'!" Avdol immediately summoned his Stand, unleashing blazing flames at Temperance Yellow in an attempt to stop it.

However, yellow temperance also has extremely strong resistance to fire.

Even though it was sizzling and its speed had slowed down, it did not back down.

"Euro!"

Jotaro's Star Platinum punched from the side, but he also felt the power vanish as if it had been thrown into the sea.

"Its physical form is weak, but its Stand's defensive and absorption capabilities are too troublesome!"

Joseph analyzed that Hermit Purple's attempt to bind it was easily broken.

With its near-unbeatable defenses, the Yellow Temperance rampages through the narrow streets, constantly transforming and attempting to devour everyone.

The situation reached a stalemate in the second phase.

Wang Bai observed the battle situation, his mind racing.

His perception of the atmosphere made him notice that when Yellow Restraint was being attacked and actively devoured, its energy flow had an extremely brief core condensation point.

"Jotaro! Polnareff! Follow my orders!"

Wang Bai shouted loudly.

"No need to fight its Stand, just attack its main body! Avdol, use flames to disrupt its vision and movement! Kakyoin, prepare to bind it!"

"Understood!" Although the others did not know the details, they trusted Wang Bai's judgment.

"Now!"

Just as Yellow Temperance attempted to devour Polnareff again, the Shadow Legion shot out several shadow chains from the shadows on the ground like ghosts. Instead of attacking the Stand itself, they precisely wrapped around and pulled at its edges, forcibly delaying its speed of devouring and closing, creating a tiny opening!

"Emerald Water Splash!" Kakyoin's Green Emperor unleashed a dense barrage of jewels, not to inflict damage, but to further disrupt and force Yellow Temperance into a defensive retreat.

"Flame Cyclone!" Avdol's red magician conjured a storm of flames, partially obscuring the rubber soul's vision.

Just as Yellow Temperance was momentarily slowed by multiple interferences, Polnareff understood immediately: "Silver Chariot!" The unarmored Silver Chariot transformed into a streak of silver light, not with a slash, but with its rapier thrusting at maximum speed like a drill towards the location indicated by Wang Bai, Labasso!

"Pfft!"

This time, the tip of the sword felt the real impact of the hit!

"Ora Ora Ora Ora Ora—!!!"

Jotaro and Star Platinum, who had been poised to strike, seized the fleeting opportunity like a raging thunderbolt, unleashing all their power to blast into the interior of the Yellow Temperance through the breach!

"Ugh—!"

The Stand was severely injured, and Labasso also suffered a violent backlash, collapsing to the ground with a scream, and the Yellow Restraint rapidly withered and disappeared.

The battle is over.

The real Kakyoin breathed a sigh of relief and cast a grateful glance at Wang Bai. The group's trust in each other was reaffirmed.

Joseph walked over to the unconscious Labasso and checked him over: "It was Dio again—that guy, he's never going to stop."

The repeated repelling of assassins sent by Dio kept Joestar and his party on high alert.

Upon arriving in the next town and checking into a hotel arranged by the SPW Foundation, the group decided to take turns resting and remain vigilant.

Given Wang Bai's keen insight and powerful Stand ability demonstrated in previous battles, he was undoubtedly seen by Dio as a major threat that needed to be eliminated first.

Late at night, the hotel room was completely silent.

Wang Bai felt an urgent need to urinate, so he quietly got up and walked towards the private bathroom in the room. He didn't relax for a moment; the power of his inner energy maintained his subtle perception of the surrounding environment.

However, the attack was more cunning and covert than he had anticipated.

Just as he stepped into the bathroom and turned to close the door, "Bang!"

A soft, almost silenced gunshot rang out! An invisible bullet grazed past his ear and shattered the mirror behind him!

Wang Bai's pupils contracted, and he instantly rolled to the side, hiding in a blind spot inside the bathroom.

Shooting?

Are Dio's assassins starting to use this method now?

Indeed, that's true, now that Joestar and his crew's intelligence has been completely exposed.

Finding an opportunity to kill Joestar and his crew with long-range firearms would indeed be an excellent choice.

However, Wang Bai, who had been on many battlefields in the demi-human world, could tell that the weapon the other party was using was probably just a revolver, not some special sniper rifle.

This relieved Wang Bai.

However, given the availability of firearms, why not use a superior sniper rifle instead of a pistol?

Wang Bai racked his brains, gathering relevant information.

Finally, from the corner of my memory, I remembered a Stand user.

The Tarot cards that represent the Emperor.

Hol Horus's Stand user.

"Tsk, you dodged pretty fast." A slightly frivolous voice rang out from somewhere in the room; it was Hol Hess.

"However, you are already surrounded by us, mysterious Eastern boy."

Almost simultaneously, Wang Bai felt the shadow cast by the overhead light begin to twist unnaturally!

A thin, shadowy "thing" was rapidly spreading along the junction of the wall and the ground, like a venomous snake, toward his hiding place!

However, the next second, Wang Bai felt pain in his body.

The unseen things left Wang Bai with a long wound on his back.

It wasn't gunfire, but damage from melee weapons!

There's more than one Stand user in this place!

Wang Bai felt a chill run down his spine.

He recalled a rather powerful stand-in.

The Tarot card symbolizing the Hanged Man.

J. Kyle, the Hanged Man, has the ability to dive into any smooth surface, such as a mirror, water, glass, or even the human eye—a series of surfaces that reflect light.

In a sense, this substitution property is similar to light, allowing it to move and attack through reflected images, making it difficult to defend against.

Wang Bai is now in a very dangerous situation.

He was trapped in the cramped bathroom!

Outside, the emperor's invisible pistol looms menacingly; inside, the Hanged Man stealthily approaches, following the reflections on the tiled walls and floors!

This was a meticulously planned assassination plot against him!

"Your shadow clone is indeed troublesome, but in this small space full of mirrors and reflections, my Hanged Man is the master!"

'

The cold, eerie voice of the upside-down man seemed to come from all directions.

The shadowy clone leaped out from the reflection of the floor, materialized, and, wielding a sharp blade, stabbed towards Wang Bai's throat!

In that critical moment, Wang Bai's brain worked like a supercomputer.

He cannot easily use the enormous power of the Imaginary Tree; he must use his existing Stand and wisdom to break the deadlock!

"The Shadow Legion!"

Wang Bai did not choose to confront him head-on. Several shadowy humanoid figures appeared instantly, but instead of attacking the Hanged Man directly, they pounced on various items in the bathroom—towel racks, mouthwash cups, and even broken mirrors!

The shadow soldiers quickly scattered and moved these items, disrupting the originally smooth surfaces and reflective angles of the bathroom!

The Hanged Man's attack trajectory was instantly disrupted, and his blade veered off course, grazing Wang Bai's shoulder and leaving a bloody mark.

"It's no use! As long as there's even a sliver of reflection, I can move!"

The Hanged Man roared, trying to blend into the faint reflection of a nearby faucet's metal surface.

Just then, a glint of triumph flashed in Wang Bai's eyes.

This is the opportunity he's been waiting for!

He lunged forward, seemingly to rush towards the door and draw the emperor's attention. At the same time, he manipulated a shadow soldier, not to attack, but to smash an unopened bottle of shower gel from a nearby shelf at the faucet the Hanged Man was trying to sneak into!

"Snapped!"

The shower gel bottle broke, and the viscous, slippery liquid instantly covered the faucet and the surrounding area, forming a non-smooth, reflective oil film!

"What?!"

The Hanged Man let out a startled scream as he realized he couldn't blend into the covered area!

"you?!"

This sudden interruption caused the Hanged Man's movements to come to a fatal halt!

At that very moment, Wang Bai unleashed his true killing move!

He threw objects not only to cause disturbance, but also to create new, controlled shadow areas!

In the irregular, non-reflective film of shadow created by the flowing shower gel, and in the messy shadows created by moving objects, several soldiers of the Shadow Legion suddenly sprang up like assassins who had been lying in wait!

They emerged from the shadow cast by the smooth surface of a decorative vase near the doorway, where the Hanged Man was located!

"How is that possible?! When did you—"

J. Kyle was shocked. He didn't even notice that Wang Bai had already extended the tentacles of the Shadow Legion to the vicinity of his hiding place by moving objects in the chaos!

The shadowy blade was placed against J. Kyle's neck like lightning, the cold touch instantly freezing him, and the Hanged Man Stand dissipated.

"Hoss! Help me!" J. Kyle cried out in terror.

Hearing his companion's cry for help, Holmes outside the room panicked and immediately fired several shots toward the bathroom!

An invisible bullet pierced through the door panel and entered the interior.

But Wang Bai had already calculated the angle. He used the Shadow Soldiers to restrain J. Kyle, slightly adjusting his body to block the Emperor's bullet trajectory!

"Pfft! Pfft!" With two muffled sounds, the energy blasts fired by Hol Horst all hit his own companion, J. Kyle!

"Ugh—" J. Kyle stared wide-eyed in disbelief as he slowly collapsed to the ground.

"Kyle!" Hol Hess was both shocked and furious. He knew the mission had failed, and staying would likely mean certain death for him. Without hesitation, he turned and tried to run away.

"Trying to leave?"

Wang Bai's icy voice came from behind him. Before he knew it, a shadowy soldier had appeared like a ghost in the shadows of his escape route, a longsword pressed against his back.

Holmes froze, cold sweat instantly soaking his back, and the "Emperor" Stand in his hand dissipated powerlessly. He slowly raised his hands in surrender.

The battle is over.

Wang Bai looked at the subdued Holmes and the fallen J. Kyle, breathing slightly heavily.

The battle was short but extremely dangerous, testing not only the power of the Stand, but also the ability to make quick judgments, plan strategies, and make the best use of environmental resources.

He successfully utilized his understanding of Stand abilities, his insight into the atmosphere, and the characteristics of the Shadow Legion to achieve a precise counterattack in an extremely unfavorable environment.

This battle gave Wang Bai a lot of confidence, proving that even without the support of the power of the Imaginary Tree, he could still use the power of his Stand to defeat his enemies.

The commotion at the hotel also woke up Joseph and the others. They rushed in and, seeing the scene, were equally amazed by Wang Bai's formidable fighting prowess.

Almost every Stand user along the way died at Wang Bai's hands.

This time, they even sent two double agents to assassinate Wang Bai.

If it weren't Wang Bai, but any one of them, they would probably have perished in this terrifying killing situation.

Next, the group inquired about information related to Horhos.

However, the other party was merely an employee and seemed to have never gained the other party's trust, so they didn't know much information.

When interrogating Holmes about Dior, the cunning gunman, though cowardly, revealed some information.

But deep in his eyes lurked a barely perceptible hint of ruthlessness, as if he were anticipating something.

Wang Bai sensed this subtle malice, but he attributed it to the other party's resentment and fear, and did not delve into it further.

Wang Bai overlooked a very minor detail—during his brief encounter with the Hanged Man, his shoulder had been cut by a sharp blade, and a drop of blood had seeped out.

In the midst of the chaos, a tiny drop of blood from J. Kyle's wound, so small and almost devoid of energy, silently adhered to the scab on his tiny wound and quickly "disappeared" as if it had evaporated.

The group quickly set off, boarding vehicles arranged by the SPW Foundation, and drove away from the town to their next destination.

The vehicle traveled on a desolate Gobi highway, with scorching sunlight and endless sand and gravel outside the window.

Wang Bai leaned against the car window, closed his eyes to rest, trying to recover from the exhaustion of the previous battle, and continued to try to communicate with the power of the Imaginary Tree of his distant body.

However, a faint sense of unease began to linger in his mind.

At first, it was very faint, like muscle stiffness after maintaining one posture for a long time. But as time went on, this stiffness not only did not ease, but gradually intensified, and began to be accompanied by a strange feeling of absorption.

It was as if something was clinging to his skin, silently draining his strength, even—his life force?
