Chapter 1024: Instant Kill!

Standing on the car roof, he craned his neck.

Several scavenger Awakened Ones were like geese with outstretched necks, desperately trying to see what was happening far away, wondering who that mysterious Awakened One was.

Especially the youth with eagle eyes, his pupils like a camera constantly zooming in and out, trying to track this battle.

If it weren't for the Sun Walker's terror deeply ingrained in them, fearing the battle would reach them, they would have loved to drive closer by a few minutes.

「What did you see!? Bozaka!? 」

「Who is that big shot!? Is he really an Awakened One!? 」

His companion tugged at the Eagle Eye Man, and the few people recording felt a surge of anxiety.

「Spiritual Energy! So much Spiritual Energy! 」

After a moment, the Eagle Eye Man, having regained his composure, swallowed dryly, feeling a sharp pain in his eyes.

Whether it was the sides' hyper-speed movement or the dazzling spiritual energy bursting during attacks, to him the combatants in the sky looked like two superjet fighters launching an all-out battle high above—fast! Too fast!

Even though the distance was great, he could feel how terrifying the destructive power contained in those streaks—no, in those huge clusters of spiritual energy—was!

The spiritual energy brimming with destructive energy poured out like free-flowing water; merely its overflowing shockwave cleared the clouds within a radius of several kilometers, exposing the sparse starry sky overhead.

Along with an explosive sound slower than light, the combatants in the sky battle, to his eyes, seemed to be performing a movie-like fight!

Too strong!

However, just as he became engrossed in watching, the distant battle seemed to have entered a white-hot stage.

Only then did he see the blurry black shadow suddenly burst forth with an ultimate silver hue; in an instant, time and space seemed to pause.

Seconds later, before he could react, a second silver light covered the area near the Sun Walker.

In that instant, an inexplicable sense of temporal-spatial disorder rose in his heart.

That... what ability!?

Without further thought, one second later the two lights in the air seemed to freeze simultaneously, then an inexplicable fear suddenly pressed down from the sky onto the earth.

Even if the target wasn't them, the people far several li away only felt their breathing become difficult, an indescribable palpitation surging instantly into their hearts.

What happened!?

Seeing nothing, the Eagle Eye Man stiffened in place.

But for some reason, as the one who saw most clearly and had constantly locked onto Lin An, he now, like petrified, suffered the greatest impact.

In that clear sky, it seemed an indescribable, ineffable supreme being had appeared!

「Ge-ge」

「-ge」

His teeth chattered; although he saw nothing, although the target wasn't him, he still, in that act of spying, felt an incomprehensible fear erupting from Lin An's body, a feeling like the extreme terror of approaching death infinitely close!

Face Death!

The next second, as he struggled to suppress his fear, even instinctively wanting to flee, the light representing the Sun Walker in the air suddenly went out, as if instantly deprived of life, like a stone, it plummeted to the ground.

Dead... died!?

At the same moment, the people who witnessed this scene together gaped with their mouths open, a sudden inexplicable meaning shocking them until their whole bodies went cold.

Died!? How did the Sun Walker suddenly die!?

Hovering in midair, Lin An, his face pale, slowly removed his mask and exhaled deeply.

Below him, the corpse representing the Sun Walker fell to the ground with a bang.

After employing most means aside from mutation, this troublesome third-rank high-level mutant was finally instant-killed by him.

Spiritual energy exhausted, his head felt like it would split.

Hearing the system prompts ringing in his ears one after another, Lin An forced a smile.

Although the cost was great, everything was still worth it.

Having for the first time poured all his spiritual energy into Face Death, Lin An hadn't expected that the skill's ultimate power upon bursting would be this effective.

The Sun Walker, which previously could not be killed no matter what, was actually instant-killed by the death rule within a second, unable to offer even the slightest resistance.

From now on... I might be able to try more...

「Ding, slain third-rank high-level mutant: Sun Walker. Gained 100 reputation. »

「Obtained Epic Tier Equipment: 【Sun Blade-Left】»

「Obtained Blue Equipment: 【Tail Cone】»

「Obtained Blue-grade Materials: 【Sun Walker Scale】*3, 【Tendon】*2... »

「Completed mission, gained extra 300 reputation reward, gained 0.1% Disaster Reduction Right. Obtained reputation store 【Epic Tier】 opening reward.. »

A series of system announcements sounded; besides the abundant spiritual energy experience, Lin An hadn't expected that the Sun Walker would also drop a piece of Epic Tier equipment.

Only seen inside the ring, the dark gold blade placed there by the system lay quietly within.

Besides that, the Epic Tier shop reward he was most interested in also opened.

With a hint of joy, Lin An flew straight downward to check it out.

However, during the descent, in his peripheral vision he noticed several Awakened Ones on the distant ground, seemingly standing with mouths agape, looking at him.

Hmm?

His brows furrowed slightly.

Having just fought with all his strength, he naturally had no time to deal with these first-level beings; realizing he had been recorded again, Lin An pondered a moment, then slightly shook his head, merely expressionlessly glancing at the Eagle Eye Man who had constantly been spying on him.

Like a warning, the lingering Face Death effect also spread along his line of sight.

In that instant, the Eagle Eye Man far several li away, having just recovered from the shock, the next second felt the gaze of that mysterious powerhouse directed at him.

He, discovered me!?

No time to think, a supreme, as if existing in genes since ancient times, immense fear reached his spirit.

But just a simple glance actually made him feel as if plunging into endless void, facing the ultimate terror of the divine.

Like a personality dissociating, thought and will instantly detached.

「Bozhaka!! 」

「Bozhaka!! 」

A panicked sound arose; the companion beside him noticed Bozhaka's abnormality and, in panic, shook his body.

After realizing that the mysterious strongman seemed somewhat dissatisfied with their spying, several people trembled all over and hastily jumped into the vehicle and fled.

The original plan to sneak closer was also instantly wiped out.

Too terrifying! Bozhaka merely received a glance from that person from afar, yet he seemed as good as dead!!

「Squeak」

Under the quiet night sky.

The tires turned, the pickup truck belching black smoke fled like a mouse in panic.
