Chapter 487 The Evernight Messenger
Jiang Lintian's sudden shouts stunned everyone, and most of them didn't know who he was calling.
Lu Yu stared at Jiang Lintian carefully, then grabbed his hair and asked, "Stop beating around the bush and speak! Who are you calling out to?"
Jiang Lintian looked at Lu Yu and sneered, "Haha, do you want to know? It's a pity; your death will be upon you when you find out!"
"As long as that person makes his move, you'll die without a doubt!"
Jiang Lintian gritted his teeth and threatened Lu Yu. His resentful eyes seemingly wanted to tear Lu Yu to pieces!
"Is that so? Let's see who gave you such confidence!"
Lu Yu had just finished speaking when he suddenly felt an invisible force enveloping his chest.
This invisible force tightened and tightly bound Lu Yu's body. This force suddenly flung Lu Yu away the next moment, sending him flying!
Swoosh!
Lu Yu fell heavily to the ground, but he quickly got up and looked in Jiang Lintian's direction. To his surprise, he found a long spear firmly inserted in the place where he had been standing just now. Half of the spear had penetrated the ground, which showed how powerful the spear throw was!
Lu Yu quickly looked at Han Xuefei and nodded at her, expressing his gratitude.
Han Xuefei also responded to Lu Yu with a nod; she then pointed into the distance.
Lu Yu looked in the direction she was pointing and was surprised to see a figure standing on the villa's roof, looking down at everyone.
He wore a long black robe and a silver bamboo hat made of metal.
A black mask covered his face, making it impossible for anyone to see his face.
It was obvious that he was the one who had thrown the spear, which had almost pierced Lu Yu's chest.
If Han Xuefei hadn't used her telekinesis to drag him away at that critical moment, he would have been seriously injured, if not dead on the spot!
"You've finally appeared. It seems like you do care for this rich, young kid."
Lu Yu stood up, patted the dust off his body, and walked toward the man in black.
The man in black leapt and landed on the ground, creating two large craters.
He stretched out his right hand, and with a swish, the spear instantly appeared back in his hand.
"I've heard your name, Lu Yu... numerous times. You must die here, for destroying our Truth Department in the Freedom Federation!"
He strolled toward Lu Yu nonchalantly.
"You're a dog of the Truth Department, and what's your name again? The Evernight Messenger? What are you, twelve?"
Lu Yu looked at him with disdain.
"Your time of death has arrived. Try to speak as much crap as possible since you cannot say anything soon."
He brandished the long spear twice, and a series of black afterimages appeared.
Lu Yu could tell that this guy wasn't weak, and his strength far exceeded Jiang Lintian's!
Lu Yu activated his Eye of the Dragon God, intending to see this guy's status.
At that moment, a voice rang out in Lu Yu's mind.
"I can feel it. It's on this guy."
"What did you sense?" Lu Yu asked.
"A part of my body is on him!"
"I didn't expect your senses to be this sharp."
"Nonsense. Otherwise, how would I find my body?"
"Kill him! Kill this person before us!" The Death Spirit Dragon continued.
"Is it the spear in his hand?"
"No, it's not that spear. There's something else on him that came from my body. Kill him, and don't disappoint me."
"Don't be so arrogant," Lu Yu said unhappily. "I'm not trying to please you. Remember, you're the one who needs my help!"
Upon hearing this, the Death Spirit Dragon remained silent and disappeared from Lu Yu's mind.
Lu Yu walked toward the man in black and activated his Eye of the Dragon God.
[ Duan Ying ]
[ Talent: Shadow Soul (S-Level). It grants the power of the dark elements, which increases speed and attack. Active effects: Split into three shadows, each shadow has half the strength of the main body. ]
[ Overall strength: Platinum rank 1 ]
After reading about his talent, Lu Yu knew that this guy had his reasons for wearing black. Even his talent was of the dark elements, so it was normal for him to wear full black.
However, his strength of platinum rank 1 was enough to make Lu Yu wary of him. After all, Lu Yu had just entered the platinum division, and he wasn't sure of his actual ranking for the time being. But one thing was for sure—Lu Yu wasn't platinum rank 2!
Most importantly, the strength of the clones created by Duan Ying wasn't weak. Even though the combined power of the three clones was 1.5 times that of Duan Ying, this could not be calculated that way in actual combat.
One more person meant one more pair of hands, one more pair of legs, and one more pair of eyes. This wasn't a simple addition of one and one.
If the three clones had attacked simultaneously, Lu Yu might not be able to handle them. He would have the advantage if he could get rid of one of them in advance.
However, Lu Yu could tell from his talent that Duan Ying's speed and attack stats were in the top two.
Therefore, Lu Yu decided to look closely at his speed attribute.
[ Speed: 1770 ]
Lu Yu couldn't help but be shocked. This guy's speed was actually more than 1700!
Lu Yu's speed was only 1300, and there was a gap of 400!
A difference of 400 was too big of a gap. Under normal circumstances, Lu Yu was definitely not this guy's match and could forget about it if he wanted to win with speed.
Even if Lu Yu used a speed-type skill, defeating Duan Ying would still be hard.
Lu Yu must rely on other aspects to fight this battle!
Lu Yu discovered a crucial point. This guy was a user of dark elements, and he just happened to have light elements. This battle would probably have to be fought with Lu Yu's light elemental skills.
If he continued to use his undead dragon claw, the attack effect or skill effect would definitely be significantly reduced.
At that moment, Duan Ying raised his long spear and pointed the tip of the spear at Lu Yu. He then turned into an afterimage and rushed toward Lu Yu.
His speed was extremely fast, and the black afterimage he left behind was like a brush stroke. In the blink of an eye, he had arrived in front of Lu Yu.
The long spear was thrust out, aiming for Lu Yu's forehead.
In that instant, Lu Yu hurriedly tilted his head and dodged the incoming spear!
The spear in Duan Ying's hand missed its target, but then it swung sideways at Lu Yu. The body of the spear came whipping toward him.
Lu Yu's claws switched to his Light Dragon Claws, and he raised his right claw to block the spear.
Clang!
The dragon claw and the spear collided, producing a clanging sound.
Duan Ying exerted all his strength and pressed the long spear down on Lu Yu's body!
However, he had misjudged Lu Yu's strength.
