Chapter 1613: The Fugitive's Methods 1

As his words fell, Wang Wei arrogantly raised his chin; the white light continually rising in his hand seemed to wield judgment, imposing great pressure on everyone.

Seeing the shocked representatives from all zones staring at him, he was overjoyed!

Yes! Exactly like that!

Fear him, revere him!

But it was different from what he imagined.

They casually made eye contact.

As Wang Wei eagerly waited to see Lin An show a struggling, submissive expression,

In the next second, he suddenly felt a strong killing intent erupt from deep within his heart!

The world seemed to fall silent in an instant, as if a soundless cage isolated him.

Those calm eyes, devoid of any emotional fluctuation, were like an endless abyss that instantly swallowed his soul!

This is!?

Infinitely shrunk, unable to move.

In an instant, Wang Wei felt himself shrunk to the size of an ant, while the entire world expanded infinitely!

The man standing not far from him was like boundless darkness, filling his entire field of vision!

No!! No!!

Who is he!?

Who is he!?

Fear to the extreme.

Like falling into an ice cave, his whole body stiffened.

At this moment, Wang Wei desperately realized he couldn't even beg for mercy!

He couldn't comprehend it; he had clearly obtained a card, his strength comparable to Fourth Stage! How could anything in this world exert such pressure on him!

But this pressure came and went quickly.

Before Wang Wei's reason could completely collapse, nearly being crushed to death in his mental world,

With a gentle breeze blowing by.

In the blink of an eye, the owner of those eyes vanished before him, as if never having appeared.

"Plop"

He fell sitting on his buttocks.

No one noticed what kind of fear he had just experienced.

As if it were an illusion.

Wang Wei, who had broken free from Lin An's pressure, turned deathly pale, his legs going limp like noodles.

Heedless of everyone staring at him in bewilderment,

The next moment, he screamed in terror and turned to run!

"Ghost! Ghost! Ghost ah ah ah!!"

His mind was filled only with the thought of escaping for his life.

He, who had been merely an ordinary person not long ago, could not withstand the killing intent condensed from the whole world on Lin An's body.

At such close proximity to death, let alone continuing to pretend to be mystical and subjugate these Awakened Ones,

At this moment, he only wanted to flee as far as possible!

He vanished without a trace! That person just now must be a ghost! A monster!

"Sir!? Divine Envoy Sir!?"

Everyone stared blankly.

After regaining their senses, several high-ranking officials of the Tengyang Safe Zone all chased out in bewilderment, while the remaining representatives of other forces stood with their mouths agape, utterly unable to comprehend what had happened.

"What the hell!? What thing!?"

"How did this guy suddenly become so frightened!?"

"Wait, how did those two Third-Stage individuals just now suddenly disappear?"

Given how bizarre it was, one could clearly see Wang Wei, who had just displayed terrifying power, suddenly flee in fright, and then watch helplessly as Lin An vanished on the spot.

Such a strange scene immediately caused chaos throughout the venue.

In the panic, people couldn't help but start speculating what exactly was going on.

"Captain Lin, why aren't you catching that kid?"

"Are we just leaving like that?"

Above the Tengyang Safe Zone.

Zhang Tie curiously watched Lin An preparing to head to the next target point.

As his gaze swept over the safe zone below, his eyes were full of displeasure.

Given his understanding of Captain Lin, when Captain Lin previously encountered such people, he usually just directly seized them.

Either interrogate then kill, or kill then interrogate.

This was the first time seeing Lin An release someone.

Especially, this kid obviously has a problem, and his mouth is still so foul.

"It's unnecessary; he's just a pawn."

Shaking his head slightly, Lin An softly answered Zhang Tie's question, then turned and flew straight toward the next anomaly point.

Killing Wang Wei would be easy for him, but Lin An clearly understood that killing him would not mean much.

Probably even Wang Wei didn't expect that Lin An merely observed his display of strength, and within a few seconds discovered his greatest secret.

「It's not one's own power; it's purely the power activated by the card. 」

「But the card itself seems not to store energy. 」

「The mechanism is unclear; it should be some kind of extremely special rule. 」

Lin An muttered to himself, directly giving the conclusion.

Even if Wang Wei is killed, the power of the "Fourth Stage" will not disappear.

That group of fugitives seemed to have prepared in advance; they simply didn't infuse power into these pieces.

Therefore, even if he killed Wang Wei on the spot and then destroyed the card, it would probably be meaningless.

On the contrary, taking action would expose his investigation of this matter, only adding trouble.

"We need to investigate a few more; one example isn't enough."

"After confirming, then make a plan."

His heart felt oppressed.

During high-speed flight, Lin An's eyes flickered, his mind constantly considering various countermeasures.

It's not that he is indecisive.

Now, abnormal Fourth Stage occurrences have reached over a hundred locations, many also distributed in other countries.

If it's really all the fugitives' doing, the problem won't be that simple.

Especially since he still can't determine whether these fugitives have any other tricks up their sleeves.

If he cannot find the source, or cannot solve the problem of the fugitives continually creating Fourth Stage instances.

In that case, for Lin An, he would have to consider a forcible purge.

"If all these newly emerged Fourth Stages are problematic..."

His gaze turned icy.

If it really comes to the final step, he will naturally take action!

Even if it's just to buy time!

At least he must drag it out until he reaches Fifth Stage!
