ping6 already has -x and -X options:

-x waittime
      Time in milliseconds to wait for a reply for each packet sent.
      If a reply arrives later, the packet is not printed as replied,
      but considered as replied when calculating statistics.

-X timeout
      Specify a timeout, in seconds, before ping exits regardless of
      how many packets have been received.
