Chapter 424 The Undead Fire

Duan Zhenglin, who was on fire, gradually stopped struggling and slowly fell to the ground.

At that moment, Lu Yu clenched his right claw, and the flame disappeared.

This scene once again left the surrounding instructors dumbfounded.

"The flames… it disappeared in an instant?"

"The duration of the fire is controlled by Lu Yu?"

"Holy shit, is this his new skill? It's quite powerful."

"He snuffed out our enemy just like that?"

"We've been fighting for half a day and couldn't achieve this!"

"..."

The instructors looked at Duan Zhenglin, who was on the ground. They then turned to look at Lu Yu and gulped.

"Lu Yu, I didn't expect you to be able to deal with him."

"Sheesh, how did you suddenly become so strong?"

"But this is impossible. Duan Zhenglin's strength is much stronger than yours, and his overall capabilities are way above yours!"

Zhuque stepped forward and explained, "Lu Yu is now overloaded. He needs to release the energy in his body, or his talent will be gone."

Upon hearing this, realization dawned on the instructors.

"I see. He has just absorbed the Death Spirit Dragon and has overflowing energy inside him."

"If that's the case, we can retreat for good."

"This is unexpected. After fighting for so long and losing all hope, a freshman saved us."

"I can't believe we have the nerve to call ourselves an instructor at the best university. It's sure embarrassing." One of the instructors said so in a self-deprecating manner.

"Lu Yu, I'll leave the rest to you. We won't bother you anymore."

"Lu Yu is the one who saved the upper house. First, it was the Death Spirit Dragon; now, Duan Zhenglin…"

Lu Yu looked at the instructors and nodded. "You guys can retreat now. Leave the rest to me."

After that, the instructors retreated to the crowd of students and began to recuperate, recovering their strength.

Turning back to Duan Zhenglin, his entire body was charred black, and his face was unrecognizable.

Lu Yu walked toward him.

Duan Zhenglin supported his body and slowly stood up.

He was unable to straighten his back and could only raise his body in a half-bent position.

He lifted his head and stared at Lu Yu with a pair of blood-red eyes.

"I'm going to take you down with me!"

Before Lu Yu could react, Duan Zhengling twisted the ring on his finger, and a bottle appeared in his hand.

The liquid in the glass bottle was black.

Undoubtedly, this was a truth potion and not an ordinary one.

Lu Yu raised his right hand, preparing to send him off with another fireball.

However, Duan Zhenglin downed the truth potion; he opened the bottle and gulped it down.

Boom!

The fireball came, once again wrapping Duan Zhenglin's entire body in flames.

Duan Zhenglin didn't fall and just stood firmly on the spot.

Duan Zhenglin, as the Head of the Truth Department, had to have a last resort.

Moreover, this specific final resort would most likely cost him his life.

Lu Yu could tell that the effect of his potion was something special. Otherwise, he wouldn't have taken it out and drunk it only when he was about to die.

The last time Lu Yu fought with someone from the Truth Department, he encountered a similar situation. As long as his enemy drank a bottle of potion, he could immediately continue fighting and bring the person back from the brink of death!

The burning of the Undead Fire seemed not to affect Duan Zhenglin.

Duan Zhenglin stood where he was, and dark holes began to appear on his body, absorbing the surrounding flames.

After that, his body began to change drastically.

His left arm turned into a thick lizard arm, and his right hand turned into a tiger-like claw.

A pair of bat wings grew out of his back, and his legs became as thick as an elephant's.

His entire body underwent a strange mutation. The parts of his evolved body were now exposed and greatly strengthened.

"I'm going to take you down with me! I'll kill you!"

His voice had changed, becoming sharp and ear-piercing.

He charged toward Lu Yu straight after that!

Looking at the deformed man before him, Lu Yu felt disgusted. The Truth Department was full of lunatics, hopeless lunatics!

"Go to hell! Stop disgusting me with your antics!"

He raised his right claw and slashed it down at Duan Zhenglin.

Lu Yu activated his Rotten Claw skill and struck Duan Zhenglin.

Swoosh!

Lu Yu's attack was fast, and his sharp claws immediately grabbed onto Duan Zhenglin's arm!

Squelch!

The sharp claws dug into Duan Zhenglin's skin, and he bled profusely.

Duan Zhenglin swung his sickle at Lu Yu.

Lu Yu quickly stepped back and dodged the sickle.

However, the momentum of Duan Zhenglin's attack was quick. After the first attack was dodged, he immediately launched a second attack.

Just as Lu Yu wanted to continue dodging, Duan Zhenglin suddenly froze in place.

He staggered back, and the sickle in his hand fell to the ground.

Duan Zhenglin raised his hands and looked at them in disbelief.

At that moment, his hands were full of rough wrinkles. At a glance, Lu Yu could tell it looked like a hand that belonged to an old man in his 70s or 80s. Duan Zhenglin's muscles had shrunk and weakened his strength.

Duan Zhenglin immediately panicked. He touched his face with both hands and found that his face was also full of wrinkles.

"Argh! What did you do to me?"

He shouted in fear, looking at Lu Yu with panic in his eyes.

It was then that Lu Yu finally understood the effect of his Rotten Claw.

Rotten Claw could age his enemies and make their bodies decay.

The aging process was irreversible, but the decay of flesh could be cured.

Lu Yu wasn't sure how long his decay effect would last, but it was long enough to be effective against Duan Zhenglin.

Duan Zhenglin could no longer move freely as his entire body turned stiff. He lost the aura and energy that a middle-aged man had.

Moreover, the effects of this state of decay affected Duan Zhenglin from the inside out. Therefore, his Dark Star talent was useless in preventing it.

"It's time for your end."

Lu Yu spoke calmly, stating a death sentence for Duan Zhenglin.

Duan Zhenglin looked at Lu Yu in fear, as if he were before the God of Death.

"You... you can't possibly be this strong. You're just a freshman!"

"Impossible, this is absolutely impossible. How can you defeat me? How can I die at your hands?"

He shouted with all his might, but his voice was weak.

Lu Yu walked up to him. At that moment, Lu Yu was panting as the overload state in his body was about to reach its limit.
