Chapter 1230 - 1229: Snake?

Slowly, Lu Yu approached the train conductor from behind, extending his hand gently to touch his body.

However, just as Lu Yu's palm brushed against the conductor's body, in an instant, the conductor's body suddenly collapsed onto the ground like a wooden stick, making a dull thud.

The moment the conductor's body hit the ground, Lu Yu suddenly noticed that the conductor's face had turned a dark purple, making him look ghastly and frightening.

Obviously, this conductor had been poisoned to death right here!

"Poisoned to death?"

Seeing the conductor's ghastly appearance, a hint of coldness flickered in Lu Yu's eyes.

He slowly bent down, and after taking a couple of glances, he immediately spotted a small pinhole on the conductor's neck.

The area around the pinhole was dark blue, clearly indicating that the poison had entered the body from there.

Seeing the state of the dead conductor, Lu Yu lightly touched his skin, only to find the body extremely stiff, and when his arm applied pressure, it felt like pressing on a piece of jelly, a sensation grotesquely bloated.

"Blood coagulation toxin, such professional technique."

Gazing at the conductor's body, Lu Yu remarked softly.

He could instantly tell that the conductor's death was due to an injection of blood coagulation toxin in the neck, causing the blood to clot rapidly, leading to death.

This method prevents blood from splattering when a person dies and, through the principle of blood coagulation, ensures the victim's major organs lose function extensively, making it impossible to call for help, ultimately causing death by complete blood clotting!

The purpose of doing this was to ensure the conductor couldn't make any sound!

Clearly, the person didn't want the conductor to make a noise, ensuring the plane could be quietly steered towards their preset destination!

If this plan succeeded, it would truly be a case of pulling the wool over everyone's eyes. By the time the plane reached their destination, it would be too late to regret!

With that thought, Lu Yu was about to proceed forward to check on the situation in the cockpit.

However, just then, a change occurred!

Hiss!

At that moment, as Lu Yu took a step, suddenly, a sharp, shrill whistle, mixed with a fierce gust of wind, came rushing towards him from behind.

The eerie whistle sounded like a hissing viper!

Behind!

Upon hearing this piercing sound, Lu Yu's instincts kicked in, and he swiftly ducked, evading the attack.

At the same time, without looking, he swiftly turned around and kicked fiercely behind him!

Bang!

At the moment of the kick, he felt solid contact, but when he turned, there was no one to be seen.

The space before him was empty, showing no signs of disturbance.

Aside from the conductor's body, there was nothing else to be found!

"Environmental Reflection Battle Armor?"

Examining the scene, Lu Yu thought to himself, but quickly dismissed the idea.

For the Environmental Reflection Battle Armor can't truly render one invisible; it merely uses environmental light discrepancies to mislead human vision, effective at long distances.

Such a trick would be quickly revealed at close range, making it impossible to attack undetected.

Yet just now, Lu Yu's kick clearly made contact with something, but it vanished without a trace, a very peculiar occurrence indeed!

Though that kick wasn't earth-shattering, it was powerful enough to break stone.

But when that kick struck, the object disappeared, prompting Lu Yu to think of a term immediately!

"Superpower User?"

Witnessing the situation, Lu Yu muttered under his breath, his eyes filled with darkness.

Withstanding his attack without appearing could only be the work of a Superpower User, dismissing the possibility of mere battle armor.

Superpower Users are inherently anomalies, only such people could become invisible and stay hidden after being attacked.

With this in mind, a chill flashed in Lu Yu's eyes. He relaxed his fighting stance, standing still, closing his eyes without making a move!

Lu Yu's action was a direct challenge, a provocation towards the unseen enemy.

By standing still, with all offensive stances retracted, eyes closed, he showed outright disdain for the opponent.

This blatant provocation would infuriate even Lord Buddha!

Hiss!

After Lu Yu adopted this provocative posture, a snake-like hiss quickly followed, shifting in distance, making it difficult to pinpoint its origin.

"Snake?"

Upon hearing this sound, Lu Yu pondered, noting its resemblance to a snake's hiss.

Given its stealthy attacks and blood coagulation trait, Lu Yu was almost certain this unseen enemy had ties to snakes.

Hiss!

Again came the serpent's hiss, this time clearer.

Clearly, the enemy had approached closer to Lu Yu.

Hearing the snake's hiss, Lu Yu prepared to react but suddenly felt a chill wind accompanied by a sharp whistle barreling towards his neck!

Despite sensing the cold wind, Lu Yu remained unmoved, his demeanor akin to a meditating monk, unaffected by the crisis.

"Die!"

With the whistle came a raspy voice, sinister and malicious, accompanying the wind towards Lu Yu!

Yet, as the whistle was about to strike, Lu Yu's body flashed, turning golden!

Ping!

With the whistle's attack, a crisp metallic snapping sounded suddenly from behind Lu Yu!

"Found you!"

Hearing the snap, Lu Yu spoke.

In an instant, he turned, his entire body shifting from gold to red, delivering a fierce kick forward!
