Chapter 1161: He Has Come

Inside the gathering place.

Wu Wen, the big horse golden knife, swept his gaze over the troops before him, his eyes showing a hint of impatience.

Including the nine he brought, there are only eleven third-tier individuals in the entire gathering place.

Second-tier individuals are more numerous, about five to six thousand.

The influx of people instantly filled the gathering place, and under the command of a few senior second-tier individuals, they prepared to build defensive fortifications.

He is also someone who dislikes nonsense.

Wu Wen frowned, looking at Pavar sitting opposite him, and spoke directly:

"How many worm tides have you experienced? How long have you occupied this place?"

"Just once... a little over an hour ago."

Forcing a smile, Pavar felt somewhat uneasy looking at the youth before him, a hint of displeasure weighing on his mind. Seeing him emerge, the youth, relying on his strength, immediately tried to seize his rights, claiming cooperation, but the subsequent points likely wouldn't be shared much with him.

However, he didn't dare say anything.

"He's a mid-tier third-rank; this must be among the strongest people worldwide, right?"

Looking at the similarly silent senior third-rank individuals from several major war zones led by Wu Wen, he sighed inwardly. If they were all junior third-rank, it would be fine, but with a mid-tier third-rank appearing, he could only be a subordinate.

"From the Northern Burma war zone? How could such a small place produce a mid-tier third-rank?"

"For this cooperation, the several war zones reportedly have only two or three mid-tier third-ranks, but each is far stronger than Northern Burma's national power."

"Just once?"

"Then let's continue guarding here."

"I've calculated that, although this gathering place isn't large, the longer we hold it, the more substantial the points will be."

"Furthermore, Lin An is nearby; instead of scattering to find a larger gathering place, it's better to stand firm here."

"Later, we'll first kill all the Tianmu people and turn them into reserves."

"Even dead, their bodies are useful."

"After the next worm tide passes, we'll send some people to capture Tianmu people back here; this place can then serve as our base!"

"As he spoke, a fierce glint flashed in Wu Wen's eyes."

"He has already absorbed the spiritual energy of six Tianmu individuals; his combat power is fully replenished. To him, Tianmu people are already the best resources."

"Guarding here..."

"Pavar instinctively looked at the youth. Although he doesn't oppose this point, capturing Tianmu people everywhere and then killing them..."

"What if Lin An notices and comes straight over?"

"Lord Wu Wen, although I also agree with your arrangement,"

"but aren't our numbers too few here?"

"Lin An has said he will hunt down any awakened who kill Tianmu people. Although we're certainly not afraid of him, given our current shortage, shouldn't we wait for other third-ranks to arrive before going after Tianmu people?"

"Pavar felt a bit nervous."

"Although he verbally doesn't care about Lin An, facing the long-established prestige of Lin An, he still wanted to first keep his head down and speak later."

"After the second worm tide, if we go capture people, we might run into Lin An. Eleven third-ranks seems okay, but..."

"He truly had no confidence."

"What's there to fear?"

"Wu Wen let out a cold snort, naturally seeing through Pavar's little thoughts."

"I and Lin An are both mid-tier third-ranks!"

"Even if he comes, I can block him! Not to mention we have others here!"

"Twenty-six more third-ranks are currently capturing Tianmu people and will come later."

"Since we've already discussed cooperation, there's no need to worry about Lin An! I don't believe that when nearly forty third-ranks gather here, he'd dare act recklessly!"

"He gave a light laugh."

"Wu Wen pointed directly at the captured Long An members behind him, face full of contempt:"

"I'm not afraid that Lin An will come; I'm afraid he won't dare to come!"

"I want to see whether Lin An is stronger or I, Wu Wen, am stronger!"

"He threw a punch, and the violent spiritual energy instantly coalesced into a white line piercing the air."

"As a display of strength, Wu Wen also intended to give everyone a reassurance pill."

"Boom!!"

"As the white spiritual energy exploded like a tactical missile, creating a pit tens of meters deep, everyone's gaze tightened, evidently clicking their tongues."

"They could feel that Wu Wen hadn't mobilized any skill; it was a pure burst of spiritual energy."

"If struck, that blow would likely leave the third-ranks present seriously injured."

"Such strength explains why he isn't afraid of Lin An."

"Pavar felt certain in his heart, completely letting go of his worries."

"This youth may be arrogant, but he indeed has the capital for his arrogance."

"Moreover, more third-rank support is coming; it seems Lin An truly can't handle them. It looks like choosing cooperation was the right move!"

"Feeling completely safe!"

"With so many war zones joining forces, it should be like this!"

"Without paying further attention to Pavar, after speaking, Wu Wen walked toward the captured Long An members."

"Looking at the few who had been disabled, he revealed a cruel smile."

"\"Tell me, what is Lin An's ability? \""

"\"What is his weakness? \""

"Speak up, and I can spare your lives; otherwise..."

"Crack!"

Bones shattered.

"Ahhhhh!!"

He instantly crushed the leg bone of the Awakened One glaring at him, as if enjoying the other's miserable screams, then slowly squatted down and grabbed another person's chin:

"My patience is limited."

"We in Northern Myanmar have a skinning technique; I think you don't want to try it, do you?"

The bones of the pinched chin made a sound; the threatened Long An members stared at him with grief and fury.

"You're dreaming!"

"If you have the ability, kill me!"

"Lord Lin An will avenge us!! His strength is beyond what you can imagine!!"

Hearing their curses, Wu Wen flashed a flicker of annoyance in his eyes and simply crushed the other's skull.

"Hah, still a tough bone!"

"Let's see how long you can hold out!"

"Still hoping Lin An will avenge you? Even if he rushes over, I'll kill him too!"

Screams, curses.

The Awakened Ones in the gathering all turned pale as they watched the few Long An members being skinned.

Said and done.

In Wu Wen's hand, the sharp knife seemed to glide between skin and muscle, easily peeling off a whole piece of human skin. Looking at the Human-Insects constantly screaming on the ground, even though they were comrades, he couldn't help but feel a chill.

One after another, the thin, cicada-wing-like skins were thrown to the ground; Wu Wen seemed to enjoy it as he continued toward the next person.

"Not saying?"

"Then enjoy it well..."

He paid no heed to the Long An Awakened Ones' curses, merely playing with the eyeball he had plucked in his hand as he moved on to the next target.

"Lin An?"

"That's all. Despite your loyalty, you don't see him coming to save you."

"Maybe he already knows you're here, but just doesn't dare to come over..."

Like a psychological attack, he wore a mocking look as he gazed at the youth whose legs had been broken. In the youth's eyes full of fear and hatred, he felt only satisfaction.

"Lord Lin An will help us get revenge!"

"He definitely will!!"

Hearing the youth with a hint of childishness repeatedly say that, Wu Wen felt only irritation.

Just as he skillfully began cutting from the scalp, the Awakened One who had been glaring at him suddenly stopped resisting, his eyes flashing with an indescribable ecstasy and excitement.

"Huh?"

He realized something was wrong.

Wu Wen instinctively went on guard.

Before he could think further, the next second a deafening sonic boom exploded from the sky.

In the distance, a black shadow swooped in at extreme speed.

"That was.."

He strained his eyes to look.

The moment he saw it clearly, Wu Wen's whole body tensed instantly as he mobilized all his spiritual energy.

"What incredible speed! Faster than me!"

At the same time, the Awakened Ones in the gathering all instinctively looked up.

Looking at that iconic mask, everyone realized something.

Lin An, he has arrived.
