Chapter 1370: Destroyer Overlord

I don't even know how long this trip will take...

I hope Hong Ya will be okay, otherwise Lin Yan will worry again...

Leaning against the city wall, Lin Ya let out a bitter laugh, pinching a bloody scale in his slender three‑clawed hand.

After seeing Lin An off, he began to miss his little sister and father back home, and for a moment he felt a vague sense of loss.

He hadn't gone back in a long time.

Perhaps out of guilt, or perhaps he didn't want his little sister to be sad.

As for Lin An, he asked himself what he could do and did it all, only hoping that Lin An would pass the selection smoothly and then return to be together with Lin Yan.

As long as his little sister is happy, he, as her brother, would have no regrets.

Out of affection for the house and its crow, his concern for Hong Ya Ye also came from the heart.

"Captain, why hasn't the brother who's supposed to take over our shift arrived yet?"

"How many minutes has it been? Normally they'd arrive early for the shift change."

Standing beside Lin Ya was a short, plump alien youth whose scales were still a bit tender; he scratched the scales on his face and couldn't help but look doubtfully toward the core.

Not long ago, a large number of Third Rank individuals received a mysterious order to go out and search for some target, after which the fortress's guard duties were temporarily taken over by them.

Seeing that it was already time for the shift change, but the squad that should have come seemed to have vanished, not even sending a word.

Moreover, he, who was guarding the outer perimeter in another direction of the fortress, always felt that the quiet inside the fortress was a bit off.

After putting away the scale, reminded by his subordinate, Lin Ya instinctively looked toward the inner city, and immediately he also vaguely sensed something amiss.

So quiet...

The whole city seemed dead; the Third Rank individuals who usually liked to fly around were nowhere to be seen.

Moreover, aside from a little movement here on their outer defense line, the entire fortress seemed to have no sound at all.

Before he could focus his gaze, he instinctively gripped his weapon.

The next second, a staggering alien species with extreme fear on its face was desperately running out from the inner city.

"Save....!!!"

As if something terrifying were behind it, the alien species that had just shouted was instantly caught by a black shadow.

In the eyes of the startled Lin Ya and other alien species, the moment that black shadow caught up with it, the creature's body withered as if drained of moisture, losing all its life in less than half a second!

Such a gruesome and terrifying sight instantly stunned the city‑guarding alien species.

What… what is this monster!!!?

Damn it, why is the city so quiet!?

Didn't dare to think more, and didn't have time to think more.

With a chill in his heart, Lin An instantly appeared like a god of death descending, showing up above Lin Ya and the others.

Facing the last batch of alien species, Lin An remained calm; after having slain nearly three hundred thousand of them, the darkness around him now seemed to condense with resentment.

"Boom!!"

He struck down with a palm.

After mobilizing a portion of chaos and absorbing the spiritual energy from within the alien species, Lin An simply killed the entire batch in one go.

Spiritual energy gathered, and in an extremely short time a huge hand over a hundred meters wide came crashing down.

But just before it fell, Lin An's eyelid twitched, as if he had noticed a figure.

Within his locked‑on range, a trembling, despair‑filled alien species he recognized was none other than Lin Ya.

Clutching a scale in his hand as he faced death, that familiar scent let him instantly recognize the other.

Lin Ya? Lin Yan's brother...

His gaze flickered.

Even though Lin An had shown no emotion even after slaughtering all the alien species in the fortress, at this moment a strange feeling quietly rose in his heart.

To be honest, the Lin Yan siblings had actually helped him quite a bit.

At least when he appeared in the identity of Hong Ya Ye, they treated him extremely well.

If he weren't Lin An but an alien species, perhaps Lin An would really be moved.

But...

The hesitation was only a moment.

After a barely audible sigh, Lin An instantly appeared before Lin Ya.

"Sorry."

He threw a punch, personally killing Lin Ya, then Lin An looked expressionlessly at the corpses covering the ground and muttered softly.

By then, in roughly nine minutes, he had slaughtered every alien species inside the fortress.

From the fortress's Third Rank commander down to newborn alien species.

These living lives were now turned into cold system points.

In theory, he could have spared Lin Ya, after all he didn't lack the trivial points on Lin Ya's body—points that couldn't even be exchanged for anything.

But if Lin Ya didn't die, later the high‑rank alien species that discovered this place's destruction would notice something odd.

All the alien species were dead—only Lin Ya remained alive.

Just from that fact, anyone with normal intelligence could quickly infer many details.

Given the high chance of exposing his original coordinates, Lin An naturally couldn't afford to be merciful.

This is a war.

His war against the alien species!

Any mercy would be cruelty toward himself.

After scanning the whole city and confirming no survivors remained, Lin An planned to return to Chang She, prepare to infiltrate the selection grounds, and begin the next round of slaughter.

It must be said, compared to the points from that batch of Alien Species at the gathering place, the Alien Species here actually provided him with over two thousand points!

Strictly speaking, it actually equals the points from killing those Fourth Stage!

This highly efficient gain undoubtedly greatly relieved Lin An's pressure!

Moreover, with him desperately concealing himself, the Alien Species here will not realize he is the killer in a short time!

At this pace, perhaps there really is hope!

However, just as Lin An was preparing to leave quickly, in an instant his expression suddenly changed.

In his outward spiritual perception, on the distant horizon, a terrifyingly extreme destructive aura suddenly appeared.

And that aura, as if noticing the abnormality here, is rushing over at an appalling speed of thirty times the speed of sound!
