Chapter 1280 - 1279: Lu Yu on the Brink

Regarding what happened in the restroom, Lu Yu was completely unaware. At this moment, he only realized what was happening after taking a shallow sip of red wine.

"Leng Qingqiu, that little girl."

His gaze fell on the empty seat opposite him, and Lu Yu lightly shook his head. Looking at Leng Qingqiu's empty seat, he said, "Taking so long just to go to the restroom..."

As he spoke, Lu Yu smiled slightly, reached out his hand, and intended to pick up the glass of red wine beside him.

Crack!

Just as Lu Yu's fingers touched the wine glass, in an instant, a clear crack suddenly appeared on it, giving off an intensely terrifying vibe at first glance.

Seeing this, Lu Yu's eyes suddenly narrowed. He looked at the cracked wine glass in front of him, and a chill flashed in his eyes.

It's important to know that a wine glass cracking for no reason is not a good omen!

Thinking of this, Lu Yu immediately planned to get up. He intended to go to the restroom to see what was happening, but at this moment, a faint voice suddenly reached his ears.

"Lu..."

This voice was extremely weak and only lasted a moment, making it difficult for an ordinary person to catch.

However, after the enhancement of the Divine Blood Potion, Lu Yu's auditory system was incredibly strong, so even such a weak voice was clearly heard by him!

"Not good!"

Upon hearing this voice, Lu Yu's heart gave a violent thump, and without hesitation, his figure blurred as he dashed towards the restroom!

Lu Yu moved with such speed, like a whirlwind, vanishing in an instant, arriving in front of the restroom in a blink of an eye.

Standing in front of the restroom, Lu Yu glanced forward and was suddenly stunned, a surge of rage instantly boiling up within him.

Because at this moment, he saw Chris's vines coiling around Leng Qingqiu's neck, and Leng Qingqiu's beautiful face was flushed red, obviously due to the vines choking her neck.

"You're courting death!"

Staring intently at Chris in front of him, Lu Yu said coldly, and simultaneously, with a sway of his body, he intended to charge towards Chris.

Though Lu Yu hadn't wanted to dwell on issues of love, the woman before him, Leng Qingqiu, was once the woman he loved the most.

Now, seeing Leng Qingqiu being strangled by Chris's vines made the anger in Lu Yu's heart burst out instantly!

A dragon has its reverse scales, touching them invites death. Since the calamity that befell Lu Yu's family, those close to him have been his reverse scales, not to mention that the woman in front of him, Leng Qingqiu, was once the love of his life!

With a movement as swift as the wind, Lu Yu's toe touched the ground and his body shot forward like an Arrow towards Leng Qingqiu.

At a glance, Lu Yu's whole body radiated a terrifying aura, like a Demon God, rushing headlong towards Chris.

"Be... careful..."

Seeing Lu Yu charging towards her, Leng Qingqiu called out, her voice low and strained, but even so, she still managed to warn Lu Yu.

"Hahaha, indeed, a hero cannot resist the charms of a beauty. Kid, you didn't expect this!"

Just as Lu Yu dashed towards Leng Qingqiu, Max's voice suddenly came from behind Lu Yu, brimming with icy mockery!

"Behind you!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Yu suddenly turned his head and saw Max standing behind him, a blue stream of light was rapidly condensing in the hollow of his chest, creating an immensely shocking sight.

Beside Max stood silver-haired Jis, a flame dancing in his hand, emanating a chilling killing intent.

Clearly, this was a trap aimed at him, and Leng Qingqiu was merely the bait to lure him in!

"Don't worry, Lu Yu, we're not going to kill you."

Facing Lu Yu in front of him, Max coldly said, "Your blood is something the organization covets. We'll beat you half to death and take you back to the organization, turning you into a zombie-like experiment!"

"But before killing you, I plan to kill your little lover first!"

As he spoke, Max let out a cold laugh and said chillingly, "I'd like to see if you can save your little lover!"

"Jis, do it!"

In an instant, Max bellowed angrily, and the blue light from his chest shot straight towards Leng Qingqiu.

At the moment Max fired the blue light beam, Jis didn't hesitate either, sending a searing flame alongside the blue light beam blasting towards Leng Qingqiu!

Rumble!

The beam and flame intertwined, creating a rumbling sound in the air, appearing as a fiery dragon crashing straight towards Leng Qingqiu!

If such an attack landed, Leng Qingqiu's body would surely be unable to withstand it!

"Bastard!"

Seeing what was happening in front of him, Lu Yu said coldly, biting his teeth, his whole body turning golden in an instant. Without hesitation, he placed himself in front of Leng Qingqiu.

Bang!

In the moment Lu Yu shielded Leng Qingqiu, the attack hit directly on his back without any pause, releasing a muffled sound!

In an instant, Lu Yu was enveloped in a huge ball of flames, appearing like a man on fire!

Pfft!

The power of the blue beam from Max's chest was immensely terrifying. Hit by such an attack, Lu Yu immediately spat out a mouthful of blood. Now his body swayed, clearly suffering from serious injuries.

"Hahahaha!"

Seeing the scene before him, Max laughed heartily, looking at flame-engulfed Lu Yu in front of him, saying coldly, "A hero always shows weakness for a beauty. At the moment your little lover was threatened, you recklessly tried to block it, truly foolish to the extreme!"

As he spoke, Max's words were filled with icy disdain and taunting, exceptionally arrogant and domineering.

"Lu Yu!"

Hearing Max's words, Leng Qingqiu called out, her face full of urgency, her eyes brimming with tears.

She could hardly believe that the formidable Lu Yu she knew could end up in such a situation!

That incredibly powerful Lu Yu was now engulfed in flames, teetering on the brink. Witnessing the scene before her, at this moment, Leng Qingqiu felt an excruciating heartache.
