Chapter 436: Gu Yunfeng, Dead!
Seeing the fear and dread on Gu Yunfeng's face, Lu Yu could clearly sense that the Gu Yunfeng before him wasn't lying. That kind of dread from deep within the soul was absolutely impossible for anyone to fake!
Realizing this, Lu Yu now felt a surge of anger within his heart!
Initially, he believed the extermination of his family was a simple case of enmity and revenge. He thought he only needed to find the mastermind behind it to avenge his parents!
But now, after this series of investigations, Lu Yu gradually discovered that the matter involved was far more complex than he had anticipated!
This whole affair seemed like a massive whirlpool; the more he dug into it, the more mysterious and confounding it became!
From the information he now had, the downfall of the Lu Family years ago appeared more like a prelude, behind which was hidden an exceedingly enormous secret!
The mysterious liquid his parents left him back then granted Lu Yu his formidable strength, yet he truly knew nothing about its origins!
First, it was the Jin Family constantly targeting him, and now it's the Gu Family he had just discovered; both families were intensely eager to obtain the mysterious liquid his parents researched all those years ago!
Lu Yu could feel now that the root of this matter was the mysterious potion he consumed!
Thinking of this, Lu Yu looked at Gu Yunfeng before him and said, "You said earlier that the Gu Family captured me to use my blood to research a drug!?"
"Yes, yes!"
Upon hearing Lu Yu's words, Gu Yunfeng nodded and admitted.
"Very good!"
In response, Lu Yu looked at Gu Yunfeng before him and said coldly, "Then now I ask you, what exactly is the drug you're researching?"
Since he couldn't immediately uncover all the remaining families, starting to tackle this from the drug seems like a particularly good choice!
Hearing these words, Gu Yunfeng slightly hesitated before speaking, "I only know this drug is supposed to permanently enhance human genes. After the Lu Family was exterminated five years ago, my father took home a stack of documents and personally assembled a research team to study this drug, but all results ended in failure!"
A drug to permanently enhance human genes?
Thinking of this, Lu Yu's expression slightly froze, recalling his performance after consuming that mysterious liquid, and he couldn't help but nod.
Gene enhancement indeed had an amazingly similar point to his body's strength increasing amidst incessant fighting!
Thinking of this, Lu Yu slowly raised his head, looking at Gu Yunfeng, and continued, "The Jin Family is also conducting similar research?"
"Not just the Jin Family!"
Upon hearing Lu Yu's words, Gu Yunfeng spoke, "From my father's perspective, all the families involved in the extermination of the Lu Family highly coveted the drug. So, the remaining families should also be conducting similar research!"
Just as expected!
Upon hearing these words from Gu Yunfeng, Lu Yu couldn't help but nod; the root of this matter definitely lay in the mysterious liquid he consumed!
Thinking of this, a trace of determination flashed in Lu Yu's eyes, and at this moment, he bit his teeth and said coldly in his heart, "No matter who you are, what kind of families you are, or what kind of forces you hold, five years ago, the blood feud of the Lu Family—I will definitely claim back from you one by one, to console the spirits of my parents!"
At this moment, Gu Yunfeng beside him, seeing the determination in Lu Yu's eyes, felt a vicious jolt in his heart and quickly said, "I've told you everything I know; will you let me go now?"
The words were filled with fear and dread, and now he feared that Lu Yu might kill him in a fit of displeasure!
"Let you go?"
Upon hearing this, Lu Yu's face showed a hint of coldness. He looked at Gu Yunfeng before him, a cruel smile emerging at the corner of his mouth as he spoke, "Your Gu Family and our Lu Family have a blood feud, and you even sent people to attack me; do you think I would let you go?"
The words were imbued with a cold killing intent and an enchanting evil smile, as if an Evil Spirit from Hell stared at Gu Yunfeng, smiling!
Buzz!
Upon hearing these words, Gu Yunfeng felt a tingling on his scalp, and he quickly spoke, "No, no, you promised not to kill me…"
Now, Gu Yunfeng only felt a wave of murderous intent coming towards him, making his body slightly rigid!
"Did I promise?"
Upon hearing Gu Yunfeng's words, Lu Yu spoke with indifference, "However, considering you answered so many of my questions, I can make sure you die quickly, without any pain!"
As he spoke, Lu Yu slightly flexed his claw-like hand, a hint of cruel killing intent bursting from his eyes!
Seeing this hint of cruel killing intent, Gu Yunfeng's body stiffened. It seemed he realized something, and his originally tall and slender body trembled in an instant!
In this world, no one is unafraid of death. Those who claim to be fearless have just not experienced the fear of dying!
Seeing the trembling Gu Yunfeng before him, Lu Yu spoke coldly, "If it were someone else, he could survive today; but you cannot, because you are a descendant of the Gu Family!"
"The blood feud of my Lu Family from back then—I will claim it from these families one by one, and you, Gu Yunfeng, are the beginning of it all!"
With that, Lu Yu suddenly flickered, and in an instant arrived in front of Gu Yunfeng, claw-like hands fiercely digging into his left chest without any hindrance, directly gripping his heart!
"In your next life, be a good person!"
Looking at Gu Yunfeng before him, Lu Yu said coldly. Then his five fingers suddenly clenched!
Pffft!
A light sound echoed as Gu Yunfeng's body jerked. His previously beating heart instantly burst under Lu Yu's grip!
And at the moment his heart burst, Gu Yunfeng's body jerked, and then fell to the ground like a puddle of mud, completely lifeless!
Seeing the lifeless Gu Yunfeng, a hint of coldness flashed in Lu Yu's eyes. Then, he shook off the blood on his hand, turned directly, and left!
