Chapter 393 The Strong Head Of Department

Lu Yu simply smiled when he heard the Head cursing.

He was the one who was best at playing dirty. Now that someone had outplayed him, he was starting to get angry—what a joker!

The poison continued to tick away, and Lu Yu's mana depleted quickly.

Not long after, the Head was panting heavily from the pain, and his stamina was wasting away.

When Lu Yu's mana had been depleted by about half, he reached out his left hand and used the Absorb skill.

A thin black line silently connected to the Head and began to absorb his energy!

Suddenly, the Head felt the mana in his body draining away. He couldn't help but exclaim, "Impossible!"

"You damn thing, you're absorbing my mana!"

He realized immediately that Lu Yu had done something to cause his mana to deplete continuously.

Lu Yu kept silently absorbing mana to extend the duration of his Dark Poison.

The speed at which the Head swung his sickle increased, and a few shock waves almost hit Lu Yu, forcing him to dodge.

He would break out in a cold sweat whenever he dodged an attack. If this continued, the consequences of an attack on him would be unimaginable!

Seeing that the Head was being tortured to the point that he was about to go ballistic, Lu Yu felt it was time to escape.

The Head had just threatened to kill Lu Yu and bury the entire upper house along with him. Lu Yu didn't know if he was speaking in a fit of anger or had revealed part of his plan.

However, this guy was guilty of terrible crimes. Death was the best outcome for him.

The Truth Department had countless secret strongholds of various sizes. They killed an unimaginable number of people so that their organization could grow.

If they were not eradicated, the tragedy would continue indefinitely.

However, Lu Yu's current strength didn't match his enemy. He had to escape and then let the higher-ups of the upper house deal with it.

He retracted his left hand and stopped Absorb, finding a chance to escape.

After Absorb ended, the Head noticed that the mana in his body had stopped draining. He paused for a moment and realized something.

Then, he quickly looked at the entrance to the courtyard.

The big iron gate was still open, and it would be easy to run out.

The Black Mist around him began to thin, and the mist started to recede.

The Head didn't hesitate and rushed toward the entrance.

Lu Yu had already left and rushed out of the courtyard.

Also, Lu Yu's invisibility effect disappeared after he rushed out of the Black Mist's range.

He used all his strength and ran forward, trying to shake off the guy behind him as soon as possible.

Suddenly, Lu Yu felt a chill crawl up his back. A murderous aura came from behind him, and a sense of danger rang the bells in his head.

He was about to die!

Lu Yu instantly realized that he was about to be killed.

His hunch was accurate, as the Head had already caught up to him, waving his sickle and slashing it down at Lu Yu!

The sharp scythe swung down, whistling through the air with its sharp blade.

The scythe sliced through Lu Yu's body.

Swoosh...

A gust of wind blew past, scattering Lu Yu's afterimage.

The Head stood in place with his scythe. He looked at the empty surroundings and hesitated for a moment.

He then turned around and left, not daring to stay any longer.

He knew Lu Yu had a teleportation skill, so he didn't plan to continue chasing him. He had more important things to do.

Lu Yu hid in the grass at the side, his heart racing as he looked at his enemy's back.

That guy didn't even use any skills and was suppressing him one-sidedly. This difference in strength was shocking!

It seemed like he would have to get Jiang Lengyue to deal with this fellow personally.

One more thing puzzled Lu Yu, which was why the Head didn't continue to pursue him.

Lu Yu had destroyed one of their strongholds and had become a thorn in their side.

This guy had the opportunity to continue the pursuit, but he didn't do so. It was evident that he had a bigger goal and more important things to do.

Lu Yu didn't know what he was here for, but it was definitely a big deal!

He had to contact Jiang Lengyue as soon as possible.

Lu Yu took out his phone and sent a message to Jiang Lengyue as he left the scene quickly.

"Dean, I just met the Head of the Truth Department. He's here in the stargazing tower and killed the guard here."

Jiang Lengyue replied quickly.

"Come to the Academic Affairs building and find me..."

Lu Yu put away his phone and started running toward the Academic Affairs building.

The surroundings were dead silent in the darkness, and no one was on the street. Lu Yu's breathing quickened as he ran, and he vaguely felt something big was about to happen!

In the surrounding villas, the students who were sleeping soundly were unaware of what kind of crisis they would face next.

Soon, Lu Yu arrived at the Academic Affairs building. From afar, he could see a few figures standing at the entrance.

Right between them was Jiang Lengyue. Although she wasn't tall, she exuded an imposing aura, and the people around her made way for her.

On her left was the group of four instructors named after the divine beasts and a few other rarely-seen instructors.

The first one on the right was Xu Yuan, followed by Han Xuefei and Wang Meng.

When they saw Lu Yu, they all stood on tiptoe and waved at him, signaling him to come over.

Lu Yu ran over quickly, reaching Jiang Lengyue.

"I ran into him just now. He's in the stargazing tower!" Lu Yu panted loudly.

Xu Yuan quickly checked up and down and asked, "Are you hurt?"

Jiang Lengyue chimed in, "The Head of the Truth Department is powerful. Barely anyone in the upper house can deal with him. "If we fight him, I will have to do it myself."

"You probably didn't fight him, right? If you did, you wouldn't have been able to escape."

Jiang Lengyue looked at Lu Yu and spoke with certainty.

However, Lu Yu shook his head. "No, I fought him; I was no match for him and couldn't even defend myself. But the battle changed after that; he was unable to do anything to me and suffered some light injuries."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Lengyue stood rooted to the ground and was stunned.

"Really? I don't believe you're strong enough to fight that person."

Baihu, at the side, quickly walked out and said with confidence, "To be honest, if I were to meet that guy, I wouldn't even have the strength to fight back. I would be hung up and beaten up!"

"How did you manage to hurt him? This is unbelievable!"
