Chapter 1288 - 1287: Dimmed

Max's body was already more than half paralyzed. At this moment, as he looked at Lu Yu in front of him, an immense sense of panic surged directly through his body.

This feeling of panic was like a piercingly cold wind in the dead of winter. As soon as it arose, it immediately filled Max's heart with a fearful trepidation.

Since 90% of his body had been transformed into machinery, Max had always been fearless. He had never been afraid of death, and was extremely calm!

But now, with his body damaged at 57%, this fear of death surged toward him like a tidal wave.

Especially upon seeing the veins bulging on Lu Yu's fist, it was clear the power brewing in that punch was immense.

If such a punch landed on his body, the damage would be incredible. Right now, there was no way Max could withstand such an overwhelmingly strong punch from Lu Yu.

"No, don't..."

Seeing Lu Yu raising his fist like that, Max spoke up, his eyes filled with fear, alongside a trace of dread at the thought of dying.

"Don't even think about it!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Yu shook his head and looked at the paralyzed Max on the ground, saying, "When King Yama wants you dead by the third watch, who dares to keep you till the fifth?"

Saying this, the muscles on Lu Yu's arm squirmed and became increasingly robust and sinister, the veins protruding like earthworms, giving off an alarming feeling.

Clearly, Lu Yu's arm was now filled with power.

With those words, a shiver ran through Max's body. Looking at Lu Yu before him, his whole body trembled uncontrollably, yet he couldn't move.

His mechanical body was damaged at 57%, rendering him immobile, unable to do anything but gaze at Lu Yu in despair, a chill running down his spine.

He never expected that the mechanical body he once prided himself on would now become a burden!

Once making him immensely strong and invulnerable, his body was now a hindrance preventing him from moving. Now, he regretted having such a metallic body.

If he were still flesh and blood, he could endure the pain and struggle to escape.

But now, he could only lie on the ground and watch helplessly as Lu Yu's iron fist was about to strike him!

"Your name is Max, right?"

Seeing the expression of fear and helplessness on Max's face, Lu Yu spoke calmly, "You have a few seconds to repent for your mistakes. Now you should understand just how foolish you've been!"

While speaking, a chilling intention shone in Lu Yu's eyes, his gaze full of a decisive ruthlessness.

A few seconds to repent for how foolish you've been?!

Upon hearing these words, fear again blossomed in Max's heart. Trembling, he quickly said, "Lu Yu, you'll regret killing me!"

With unyielding eyes staring at Lu Yu, Max said, "If you kill me, the organization will send even stronger enemies after you. Then you'll face Magnetic Thunder, Blood Rose, and Electric Bee!"

"Their strength is beyond your imagination. If you kill me, you'll next have to face them. So you'd better think clearly!"

As he spoke, there was sincerity in Max's eyes, as if he genuinely cared for Lu Yu.

However, amidst this sincerity was a hint of craftiness.

Max was not completely resigned in his heart. Knowing he was no match for Lu Yu, he planned to use this tactic to secure his life.

He would regroup once his body recovered.

After all, ensuring his own survival was the most important thing; Max cared not for anything else!

"Max, you're smart. Compared to others who only know brute force, you're much smarter than just a bit."

Upon hearing these words, Lu Yu's eyes bore into Max, the corners of his lips curving with a chilling sharpness, his fist clenching tighter.

"But, do you know?"

As he spoke, a frosty intent shimmered in Lu Yu's eyes. Staring at Max, he said, "You have a fatal flaw!"

A fatal flaw?

Upon hearing Lu Yu's words, Max froze, looking at him, asking, "What flaw?!"

Almost instinctively, Max asked.

"What flaw?"

At this, a mischievous grin appeared on Lu Yu's face. Looking at Max, he let out a cold laugh and said, "It's that when you lie, you're not convincing enough!"

Exposed!

Upon hearing Lu Yu's words, Max's scalp tingled with anxiety, but just as he was about to respond, Lu Yu's iron fist slammed into his chest without hesitation!

Seeing the punch aimed at his chest, Max's heart raced, and he tried to say something.

However, before he could speak, a metallic crunch resounded instantly. Lu Yu's fist had already pierced through Max's chest, the sight utterly shocking!

The power of one punch, Lu Yu's fist penetrating Max's metallic body, was truly stunning in its force.

"You, you..."

Witnessing everything that transpired, Max's eyes were fixated on Lu Yu, filled with astonishment.

"Someone like you doesn't deserve to live!"

Seeing Max's shocked expression, Lu Yu let out a cold laugh. His hand grabbed at the core structure of Max's mechanical body, pulling with all his might!

Crackle pop!

Amidst a chaotic burst of electric sparks, the circuitry within Max's body was forcibly torn out, a sight filled with shock.

At the same time, the expression in Max's wide eyes quickly dimmed!
