Chapter 1223 - 1222: Data

Not good!

Seeing the blue light gradually gathering in Max's hollow arm, Lu Yu's heart instinctively sank. At this moment, he dared not hesitate for a second, his feet powering up, his body flashing sharply to the side.

Lu Yu had witnessed firsthand the formidable power of that blue light.

The sheer strength of such a light was enough to melt stone, so even Lu Yu had to temporarily avoid its sharp edge.

Boom!

In the instant Lu Yu dodged, a blue stream of light shot out with immense force, brushing past Lu Yu's cheek.

As the blue light flashed past, the wall behind Lu Yu was instantly blasted open, leaving a huge hole. The surrounding bricks showed signs of melting similar to before, a testament to its overwhelming power.

So close!

Seeing the melted bricks in front of him, Lu Yu's heart fiercely skipped at this moment, his eyes revealing traces of a solemn expression.

That scene just now was incredibly dangerous; luckily his reaction was swift, otherwise the blue light from earlier could have shattered his skull in an instant!

However, just as Lu Yu dodged, Max's body suddenly flashed. Perhaps due to his cybernetic modification, his speed was extraordinarily swift, darting forward, and immediately darting through the wall that had just been blasted open.

With this leap, Max's speed was extremely fast, resembling a startled animal, instantly leaping from the shattered wall, his body directly falling towards the ground.

Seeing the scene before him, Lu Yu instantly reacted, but he did not move to pursue Max.

After all, Max's blue light attack was extremely formidable; a single unguarded hit would result in instant death.

Especially during the descent, Lu Yu couldn't dodge or evade, facing an attack was unavoidable. If Max remained vigilant during the fall, using the blue light to counter-attack, the outcome would truly be unimaginable.

After all, the human body is unable to leverage force during a fall; if Max remains cautious and aims his hollow arm upwards as he falls, then as soon as Lu Yu jumps down, he will undoubtedly become a sitting duck.

So now, Lu Yu didn't pursue Max.

"Superpower user..."

Watching Max leave instantly, Lu Yu spoke in a low tone, his voice heavy, eyes full of coldness: "It seems the Shadow Luo Organization is indeed a rather troublesome existence!"

In the recent battle, Lu Yu saw too many scenes that could only be seen in movies—controlling flames and plants, transforming oneself into a cyborg, even firing powerful streams of light from the chest. Such modes of attack truly astonished Lu Yu.

While saying this, Lu Yu's eyes were deep.

At this moment, he looked back at the room in chaos behind him, and the body on the ground and the young man's charred remains, his eyes narrowed slightly. He picked up the young man's laptop on the ground, his feet moved, and he vanished from sight.

The commotion of the battle just now was extremely loud, sure to attract the attention of others, so this was not a place to linger.

...

Having escaped Green Water Spring City in a pitiful state, Max and the others arrived at their temporary residence in Lin'an City.

"This Lu Yu is terrifying"

At this moment, Jis looked at his arm that had been swept away by Lu Yu's kick, his face pale as he spoke: "His strength far exceeds ours, we're not his match at all!"

The immense force of Lu Yu's kick, now when he recalls it, leaves him deeply shocked, enough to completely change his originally arrogant attitude.

"Jis is right"

Hearing Jis's words, Chris spoke: "We've already witnessed Lu Yu's strength; with our skills, we're no match for him. That brief encounter just now left me feeling a suffocating pressure."

Speaking this, Chris turned to Max, saying: "Max, can we really complete the mission this time?"

Now Chris and Jis spoke, full of doubt, they simply didn't believe they could complete the mission.

"At present, if we engage head-on, we're sure to lose!"

Hearing Chris and Jis's words, Max looked at his hand injured by Lu Yu's punch, saying: "Lu Yu's strength has already exceeded our expectations, my steel bone hand was injured by his punch, Jiang Tianyi in his Tiger Shark Battle Armor died at Lu Yu's hands, he truly wasn't wronged at all!"

While speaking, Max looked at his palm, only to see it covered with tiny cracks, strikingly noticeable.

Hiss!

Upon hearing Max's words, Jis and Chris spoke instantly: "What do we do now? Do we just return to the organization in disgrace? If Dr. Ludwig finds out we failed, he'll surely use us as test subjects!"

Speaking this, Jis and Chris's eyes were full of panic.

Evidently, they both greatly feared the seemingly weak and gentle Ludwig.

"Why panic?"

At this moment, as a cyborg, Max heard Jis and Max's words, saying: "I only said at present, not certainly!"

While speaking, Max's mechanical eye flashed red, then said: "The battle scene and process with Lu Yu have all been recorded with my mechanical eye; later I'll use the computer to break down Lu Yu's moves, developing a strategy specifically to counter him. With your support, if there's no accident, next time, Lu Yu definitely won't be our match!"

Speaking this, the red light in Max's mechanical eye kept flashing, truly resembling a robot without emotions, showing no emotion at all.

"Are you serious?"

Hearing Max's words, at this moment, Jis and Chris spoke, their eyes full of joyful surprise.

"You can choose not to believe me"

Looking at Jis and Chris before him, Max spoke coldly: "But you must believe data because data doesn't lie!"

While speaking, Max's original human voice vanished, replaced by a series of cold mechanical sounds.
