Chapter 1516 - 1515: The Struggle of a Cornered Beast

Seeing the shock on Lu Yu's face, at this moment a faint cold smile crept onto Dragon's features. He looked at Lu Yu in front of him, the corners of his mouth lifting slightly as he said, "Stop wasting your strength. My poison doesn't travel through blood—you can't force it out."

As he spoke, Dragon's face was covered with a mocking smile. Right now he was looking at Lu Yu with the posture of a victor, his whole expression tinged with a sneer.

Doesn't travel through blood?

Hearing that, Lu Yu locked his gaze on Dragon in front of him. Because of the toxin ravaging his body, he was swaying on his feet, looking as if he could collapse at any moment.

"You don't have to be that surprised."

As if he'd seen straight through Lu Yu's shock, Dragon's eyes were full of cold amusement. He shook his arm, breaking free of Lu Yu's grip. From his kneeling position before Lu Yu, he slowly stood up, looked at Lu Yu and said, "This kind of poison doesn't use blood at all—it travels through your cells."

"Poison that spreads through blood, you can purge by controlling your blood. But poison that spreads through cells—you can't control that at all."

Dragon's voice was dripping with mockery. His gaze was full of ridicule as he looked at Lu Yu and continued, "Lu Yu, I have to admit, your strength really is terrifying. You not only turned the Controller's Naihe Island into a living hell, you also killed many mid-level cadres in the organization. Since the organization was founded, you're the only one who's managed to pull that off single-handedly."

His tone was low and mocking, every word carrying a grim and chilling edge.

But hearing Dragon's words, Lu Yu didn't respond at all, because right now he could feel his left arm completely numb. With one glance he saw black lines crawling along his arm, a sight so shocking it made one's scalp tingle!

"Oh right, I forgot to tell you."

Taking in Lu Yu's current state, a cold smile spread across Dragon's face. He looked at Lu Yu, every word edged with frost and scorn: "This poison spreads extremely fast. And the spot you got hit is your left arm—very close to your heart. If you don't stop it from spreading in time, I'm afraid it won't be long before you're dead."

As he spoke, Dragon was still sneering. He stared at Lu Yu, his whole manner steeped in icy menace.

"That's none of your concern."

Hearing that, Lu Yu slowly straightened up. His breathing was heavy, cold sweat seeping from his forehead. He looked as if he'd topple over at any moment, a candle flickering in the wind.

Even his heartbeat had grown heavy and frantic. He felt his whole body unbearably weighed down, like he was carrying a mountain on his back, a bone-deep exhaustion sinking into him.

"Didn't expect you to be such a hard bone."

Seeing Lu Yu's condition, Dragon spoke in an icy tone. "Right now your body is weak to the extreme. You're no match for me at all."

"If you know what's good for you, then behave and surrender quietly. That's best for both of us."

As he spoke, Dragon's eyes were bitterly cold, a profound, chilling aura flowing through every word.

"Even a dying beast will struggle."

Hearing Dragon's words, Lu Yu replied coldly, "I'll say it again: if you want to fight, then fight. No need for this nonsense."

His breathing grew even heavier as he spoke. His body staggered, like a candle in the wind, and even staying on his feet had become painfully hard.

"Hmph."

At Lu Yu's words, a fierce glint flashed across Dragon's face. His fingers clenched into a fist, joints cracking loudly.

"Since your bones are this hard, I'll just have to make you submit by force."

His voice lowered to a growl, every syllable laced with ice and killing intent. At a glance he looked vicious to the extreme.

At the same time his left foot stepped forward. His whole body stretched like a drawn war bow, a torrent of force gathering along his arms, a stance that looked ferocious beyond belief.

Bang!

As soon as that posture locked into place, Dragon's body shot out like an Arrow, blasting toward Lu Yu with savage speed. The force behind him was so fierce that even the air exploded around his charge.

At the same time, Dragon's fist swung out, smashing straight toward Lu Yu's chest!

In Dragon's eyes, Lu Yu was already tottering like a candle in the wind. In this condition, one strike was all it would take to completely put him down.

Dragon's idea was beautiful. Reality, however, was brutally cruel.

Just as that fist was about to crash into Lu Yu, Lu Yu's body suddenly swayed aside. Dodging the punch in an instant, he twisted his hips and drove a brutal punch straight into Dragon's chest!

Bang!

His fist slammed into Dragon's chest with a dull thud. A surging, overwhelming force poured into Dragon's torso like a flood, ramming through his body without mercy!

Poof!

The instant that power invaded his body, Dragon spewed a mouthful of blood. His whole body flew backward, crashing heavily to the ground, looking utterly wretched.

And after Lu Yu threw that punch, he too staggered, nearly collapsing on the spot.

"How is that possible?!"

As his body slammed into the ground, panic flickered in Dragon's eyes. He had never imagined that Lu Yu, riddled with deadly poison, could still unleash such a powerful strike!

"Are you stupid?!"

Lu Yu's face was deathly pale, his breathing ragged. That punch had drained him, and he looked exhausted. Yet his killing intent hadn't diminished in the slightest; instead it grew even more ferocious. "A beast is at its most savage when it's in its death throes."

"If even beasts are like that, what do you think that says about me?"

As he spoke, Lu Yu's whole body trembled. A strange, crimson light suddenly flared from his skin, and his vicious aura didn't fade but intensified instead. At a glance he was like a bloodthirsty starving wolf, enough to make anyone's heart quail!

Not only had Dragon's vicious poison failed to devour Lu Yu, it seemed to have the opposite effect—Lu Yu's killing intent only grew thicker and more violent!
