Lin Yue pulled out two red 100-yuan bills from his pocket, crumpled them up, and threw them aside.
Upon seeing this, the waiter immediately changed his mind, snatched the food like a ravenous dog, bowed, and said goodbye in a forcedly sweet voice, "Welcome back—"
The sudden, powerful explosion abruptly ended the waiter's farewell to the guests.
Lin Yue and Lan Xi reached the door, but were still inevitably affected by the blast wave. He shielded Lan Xi, and the two of them, embracing each other, were thrown by the shockwave, smashing through the glass door and falling onto the street.
A few seconds later, Lin Yue woke up and found that a strong demonic aura emanated from the restaurant, which was ablaze with fire.
This was not a simple explosion!
He patted his companion on the shoulder: "Are you alright?"
Lan Xi snapped out of her shock, still confused and unsure of what had happened. Lin Yue was about to comfort her when suddenly, he felt the intense heat of the ground surge up to his feet, realizing that a second wave of danger was right beneath his feet!
The next second, a dazzling burst of flames erupted from the ground. Fortunately, Lin Yue reacted quickly and pulled Lan Xi away from the disaster.
However, the flames seemed to be aiming at a target, relentlessly blasting the two of them.
The roads Lin Yue walked on, and even the windows and doors around him, were all smashed and burst open.
Lin Yue thought to himself, "This demon who wields fire is really audacious!"
They actually disregarded the Demon King's rule against excessively interfering with the order of the human world and acted as if they were playing around, showing off their abilities everywhere!
However, he then realized he had made a mistake—the demon wasn't playing around; it intended to eliminate Lin Yue!
As she ran, Lan Xi finally calmed down. She followed Lin Yue and used her Demon Eye again, this time looking behind Lin Yue as he ran, but what she saw was not Lin Yue.
It wasn't Lin Yue alive, but Lin Yue lying in a pool of blood, his whole body charred.
Her heart nearly stopped from fright.
Lan Xi stopped in her tracks.
"What's wrong? Run!" Lin Yue turned around and urged his companions.
She didn't panic; instead, she calmed down instantly. It didn't take long for her to realize that Lin Yue had always been the one protecting her, and now it was her turn to help him.
Time was running out, so she tried her best to recall the scenery she had seen through the glass ball, searching for clues to change the future, not letting go of even the smallest detail.
What she saw—thirty seconds later—or rather, twenty-five seconds later from this moment—at the next intersection, Lin Yue sensed the intense heat underground.
But it was too late to escape (because he was holding Lanxi). In order to prevent her from being attacked by the high-temperature flames, he pushed her away with all his might, and he himself was instantly burned by the high-temperature fire pillar that burst from the ground.
But if that's the case, why is there a pool of blood?
Why? Why?
Right, it must be his own blood... Lanxi herself couldn't avoid death in the end...
No, no, what we should be thinking about is not lamenting our own death, but how to reverse the inevitable situation of death!
Let's start from the beginning. The explosions were like pinpoint tracking, relentlessly pursuing Lin Yue and Lan Xi.
It was like a rifle firing "explosive" bullets, chasing after them.
In that case, there must be a shooter. Although the shooter didn't get a perfect shot, their aiming angle was practically a god's-eye view.
Thinking about it this way, the gunman was observing everything from mid-air.
She remembered the death she had seen through the demon's right eye—a crossroads ablaze with fire, Lin Yue charred, Lan Xi lying in a pool of blood, and a dark shadow in mid-air.
I don't know if this is correct, but I can only gamble with the last ten seconds or so left!
"Yue, are you confident you can kill that demon that unleashed the explosion in one blow?"
"If I know where it is, then I can!" Lin Yue's judgment was not without basis.
Based on past combat experience, the stronger a demon's attack power, the weaker its defense.
And judging from the current situation, the demon that is hiding behind the scenes and unleashing the explosions is incredibly powerful.
However, Lin Yue's "Blue Cherry" is the nemesis of this high-attack demon, capable of killing it in one blow.
The two looked directly into each other's eyes.
Lan Xi's determined gaze seemed to say, "Trust me."
She was met with Lin Yue's unwavering gaze: "Even if you hadn't said that, I would have believed you completely!"
Based on the previous vision of the future and combined with the actual correction of the "coordinates", Lanxi deduced its hidden location: "It is right behind you now, at the eight o'clock direction."
"Thank you so much! This description is so detailed and accurate. We'll definitely be able to defeat it!" Lin Yue crouched down, assuming a sword-drawing stance, and closed his eyes.
An invisible gale swirled around the two, protecting them while simultaneously preparing for a surprise attack.
In that life-or-death moment, Lin Yue suddenly became distracted. Perhaps it was because he had his eyes closed, but he suddenly felt that the person was still alive and beside him. This feeling ignited his fighting spirit a second time, and he drew out a sharp arc of blue light with his left hand.
The gale melted into three invisible sword energies, which shot out in different directions like boomerangs, and then overlapped at the "coordinates" that Lanxi pointed out.
A strange, mournful cry in mid-air informed them that they had finally defeated the invisible demon!
Severely injured, he had to remove his invisibility cloak, revealing himself to be the bomb demon, Foful, who uses fire to play pranks on people and is one of the demon king's followers.
Its entire body was covered in flame patterns, and there was an unsightly scar diagonally across its body. From the scar, one could see that its body was not made of blood and flesh, but rather of some powdery substance that was drifting outwards.
