Chapter 1156

Half an hour later.

On the desolate plain, several figures sped like lightning, followed closely by sharp sonic booms.

Inside the gathering place occupied by the Brahma Heaven Awakened Ones, Sa Erman looked with some surprise at the several black dots far away.

That fast?

Slightly wary, the remaining third ranks also stood beside him, closely observing the newcomers.

Their target was clear, and they were heading straight here. It was probably the group that had previously contacted them.

But they hadn't expected the distance between them to be not too far.

Especially as the distance closed, they instantly recognized the leader, the dual‑dagger man. Seeing that his attire clearly belonged to their own war zone, the initial wariness quickly eased.

If they were outside, they wouldn't be so careless. After all, fellow war‑zone Awakened Ones would still kill each other without hesitation.

But once they entered the confrontation match, no one, no matter how foolish, would attack their own war‑zone.

With an external threat, they naturally knew they had to unite.

Especially, Sa Erman didn't believe that just four people from the other side would dare to attack over a dozen third‑ranks on his side. Seeking death isn't done like that.

"It looks like they're afraid of running into third‑ranks from other war zones on the road."

"I think their speed is no different from going all out. They really are willing to burn their spirit energy."

"What a waste... I don't even know to conserve it."

Standing beside Sa Erman, a third‑rank with a nose ring laughed and said, clearly looking down on the newcomers' panic.

However, those who came to join them promised to give six spirit energy fruits as "protection fees"; with his strength, he would likely receive one. Although the value wasn't high for a third‑rank, in the resource‑scarce Brahma Heaven War Zone it was still a decent gain.

Of course, the only concern was where this group got so much stuff.

But after thinking about it, they didn't take it seriously.

Even if they were deceived, using these few third‑ranks as cannon fodder wouldn't be a loss!

"When they arrive, we still need to be friendlier. Let them work for us."

"I reckoned that if the next bug wave is just a bit larger, these few people acting will suffice; we can save a lot of spiritual energy."

Feeling relaxed and happy.

While speaking, Salman gave a few reminders, then put on an air of authority and went forward to meet them.

With his aura spreading, his decent strength makes him an outstanding presence even in the initial stage of three Fourth Rank.

He still needs to establish his authority; he must let this group know who's the boss when joining Salman's team.

However, as the distance drew nearer, a flicker of doubt flashed across Salman's eyes.

Wait, how come a three Fourth Rank with a broken leg is being flown here on someone's back!?

Didn't these people say they only had skirmishes with the bugs?

Given the threat of the bugs, how could they possibly reduce a three Fourth Rank to this state?

A faint unease lingered in his heart; one who could survive to three Fourth Rank was naturally no fool.

The companion behind him also noticed this, but unlike Salman's sudden alertness, he casually remarked without surprise:

"Tsk."

"It looks like this group fled so quickly because they encountered a three Fourth Rank from another battle zone. No wonder they made it here so fast."

"I just don't know if they've caught up yet."

The nose-ringed man narrowed his eyes, still indifferent, casually replied:

"What's there to fear? That they could only escape with a broken leg shows the opponent isn't strong either. If they come after us, it's just free points for us."

"That broken-legged guy has little combat ability; it's a bit of a pity."

Hearing his companions' discussion, Salman's doubts were largely dispelled.

That's right, that's how it should be.

He was still too nervous.. With so many people, what was he worried about..

He burst out laughing.

He shook his head, Salman stopped thinking further and directly flew up to meet them:

"Haha, welcome to join us..."

He hadn't finished speaking.

Within seconds.

Just as Salman was about to say something, his expression suddenly changed, and an intense sense of death instantly enveloped his heart.

Having no time to react, one saw Lin An, mingled among the Fantian people, suddenly flash and appear directly before him as if by instantaneous movement.

The speed was so great it almost surpassed everyone's reaction there.

Not good!!

Danger!!!

At the moment of life and death, Salman felt as if he erupted with all his potential, his terrified expression almost twisting and deforming.

In his pupils reflected, moving as fast as Lin An, was that longsword flashing with bloody light!

As if locked onto by an extremely terrifying monster.

As Lin An unleashed his attack, Salman had no time to ponder why the opponent's menace was so horrifying; he could only strain to lift his saber, trying to block this fatal strike!

However, it was like a mantis trying to stop a chariot.

In an instant, the erupting spiritual energy, like a mountain, directly crushed his body; he didn't even have time to utter a scream.

His arm broke, his shoulder shattered, his torso vanished.

Under the immense disparity in strength, his body shattered like fragile plastic, exploding piece by piece into ash.

Blood mist burst forth.

However, at the moment of contact, Lin An, who had charged through the blood mist, once again killed his way to the front of the remaining people.

Under an attack that could be called extremely violent, the remaining Brahma three Fourth Rank Wanderlust Great Venture, in their eyes, Lin An, disguised as a Brahma person, didn't even glance at the dead Salman, as if they were certain that the strongest among them would definitely be killed in one strike!

Fast! Too fast!

Likewise, there was no time to react at all; with only just enough time to mobilize spiritual energy, a domineering cold shout suddenly rang out:

"Kneel!"

"Boom!!"

The unmatched aura from the peak of the three Fourth Rank instantly erupted.

Just like an insurmountable celestial bell, as Lin An directly unleashed the Death God Halo, the remaining three Fourth Rank all felt their life force rapidly draining away at an extreme speed. Moreover, the domain power mixed with fear effects pressed down on them like a ten-thousand-ton warship.

"Bang!"

"Bang bang bang!"

Unable to bear the weight, the crowd nearly knelt, and their bones creaked all over.

As Lin An again slew the two nearest with a single sword, the rest realized the newcomer's strength had surpassed their imagination, making resistance utterly impossible!

"Death to resisters!"

The aura grew even fiercer!

Unwilling to waste spiritual energy, Lin An again increased his pressure, and streams of sword flow containing tremendous destructive power suddenly generated, directly locking onto the remaining three Fourth Rank.

Feeling that deadly intent, the remaining nine, who had just realized it, were filled with despair and dropped to their knees with a thud, as if any thought had been smashed, simply giving up resistance.

Brahma above! What kind of monster is this?!

Can't fight! Can't even run!

The mysterious person before them possessed absolute overwhelming strength—they couldn't even react in time, as the strongest Captain and two three Fourth Rank died instantly. How could they dare act rashly?

"Surrender! We surrender!!"

"Don't kill us!!"

Hoarse from shouting, the nose-ring man who surrendered first raised both hands, fearing that if his shout were even slightly slower, the sword flow locked onto him would crush his brain!
