Chapter 518 The Ember Empire
The mighty Dragon Fist was instantly released from Lu Yu’s right arm, accompanied by an earth-shattering boom.
A tremendous amount of energy was released, and just the waves of air produced were enough to overturn Wang Meng and the others in the distance.
The crystals on the ground around Lu Yu all broke into tiny pieces.
Not far away, Wang Meng and the rest dodged to the side when they saw Lu Yu release the Dragon Fist. Even if they weren’t standing in front of Lu Yu, they had to get further away, or else they would be in trouble.
“Phew! Lu Yu’s finally using his ultimate move!”
After Wang Meng ran to the side for some distance, he quickly squatted down to observe the situation.
He had yet to recover from the heavy blow from Liao Xie, so he could only watch Lu Yu fight.
“This punch will end the battle!” stated Han Xuefei as she nodded slightly.
“It’s hard to say since whether or not Lu Yu can hit him is a question mark.”
Xu Yuan stared at the battle solemnly.
At this moment, Yun Zirou pointed her finger.
“Liao Xie won’t be able to dodge in time!”
The next moment, the powerful impact of the Dragon Fist hit Liao Xie’s body.
Bang!
With a loud explosion, Liao Xie’s body exploded.
The two wings on his back were blown to pieces instantly, and feathers flew everywhere.
The aftershock severely mangled his four limbs.
The features on his face had been destroyed and twisted beyond recognition.
He only stayed in the air for a second before he lost consciousness and began to fall.
Whoosh!
The next moment, Lu Yu rushed to Liao Xie’s side and caught him with both hands.
If this guy were still alive, he would be helpful to Lu Yu.
However, it wouldn’t be too bad if he died too.
Of course, it would be best if Lu Yu could get some useful information from this guy.
After Lu Yu caught Liao Xie, he put him on the ground.
Liao Xie’s entire body was a bloody mess. He had completely lost the ability to move and was about to lose consciousness.
“You’re still breathing. That’s good, although I don’t expect to get anything out of you.”
If Lu Yu couldn’t get anything out of the person from the Truth Department back in the Freedom Federation, it would be even more challenging to get anything out of this person.
Lu Yu still clearly remembered the guy who committed suicide last time. This group seemed to be possessed by their cult and had lost their minds.
“I’ll give you a way out now. Tell me everything you know, and I’ll spare your life.”
Lu Yu squatted beside him, letting him lean his upper body on a crystal.
“You… don’t even think about it…”
“It’s impossible!”
Even though his entire body was about to be shut down, his voice was still sonorous and powerful.
“Eh? You don’t intend to tell me the truth? I guess I’ll have to make your death a little more painful. I didn’t have much hope in the beginning anyway.”
Upon hearing this, Liao Xie’s entire body seemed to tremble, and he finally let out a long sigh.
“Fine, let me tell you something about the ancient ruins. You will know what kind of enemy you are fighting against then!”
“I didn’t expect you to give in. Hurry up and tell me!”
“Cough…”
Liao Xie coughed up blood and said slowly, “The Truth Department has been passed down for thousands of years, and they originally belonged to an ancient empire.”
Lu Yu was surprised by his first sentence.
“Oh, really? The empire you’re talking about, is it the empire in this ancient ruin?”
“That’s right. This empire is called the Ember Empire. Thousands of years ago, they inexplicably disappeared, and there are no historical records of them.”
“But in fact, the empire did not die out. They went into a deep sleep of their own accord.”
Lu Yu thought for a moment and recalled that Countess Irene, whom he had met before, had indeed woken up from a slumber.
And based on that woman’s status, she was a decision-maker in some empire.
“Oh, really? What was the purpose of this huge empire? Why are they doing this?”
“After the Emperor of the Ember Empire dominated the world, he enjoyed himself for decades. He was just tired of the life of that era, so he called on all the imperial cadres of the top five ranks to go into hibernation.”
“They will then wake up thousands of years later and take over a whole new world!”
Liao Xie’s words gave Lu Yu a considerable shock.
There was indeed an empire that once existed on this land. They did not perish but were in a deep sleep until the time came to descend upon their world and take over.
“This guy, what a dream he has. However, times are different now. His great cause will never be realized if he dares wake up!”
Liao Xie coughed again, and his tone became weaker. “Hehe, you will soon understand how powerful the empire you are fighting against is.”
“Your final ending will be to submit to the king and become one of his people!”
Upon hearing this, Lu Yu felt his head burning and just wanted to end this guy’s life with a punch.
“Continue. Where is this king you speak of?”
“Hmph, don’t even think about finding it in this lifetime. By the time you find it, it’ll be too late!”
Lu Yu grabbed his neck. He switched his left claw to the Explosive Dragon Claw and started to grab his arm with his sharp claws.
The claws were like a shredding machine, cutting into Liao Xie’s muscles as blood flowed out.
The intense pain caused Liao Xie’s tired eyes to widen to their maximum.
“Don’t worry. Before the doctor comes, I’ll have plenty of time to play with you!”
Liao Xie rolled his eyes and stared at Lu Yu. He slanted his mouth and shook his head slightly.
“Today, you’re sending me to hell. In the future, the members of the Truth Department will also send you to hell!”
“Then you just wait while I destroy all of your Truth Department’s people!”
“Unfortunately, you won’t be able to see it!”
Lu Yu clenched his fist and directly punched the man’s head. With a crack, the punch broke the man’s skull.
After killing Liao Xie with one punch, Lu Yu sat on the ground and sighed.
He had seen madness in Liao Xie’s eyes. Obviously, this guy had gone crazy, and all these guys probably believed the world would be destroyed.
So they began to serve the king who hadn’t yet arrived and hadn’t yet met…
How laughable that this group of people had worked so hard to hide their identities for this purpose!
Lu Yu shook his head. He knew that the Truth Potion, which defied common sense and the natural order, had only recently become common.
Even the words ‘Truth Department’ had only become familiar to people in the past few decades.
At that moment, Wang Meng ran over and surrounded Lu Yu, asking about the situation.
After Lu Yu got up, he was still hesitating about whether to tell them the information he had just learned.
