Chapter 1697: War of the Stars 5

Whoosh—Boom!!

Scorching, capable of twisting everything, the Light Spear seemed like the final Judgment.

Accompanied by unimaginable high temperature and rules, the empty exchange hall seemed to be instantly ignited.

Endless white flames became the sole color.

If it weren't that this place represents the system, possessing an indestructible trait, merely the destructive force generated when this rule power erupts would be enough to obliterate everything.

Flesh and blood instantly ignited, resembling torches.

In an instant, facing the Star-Destroying Level attack, Lin An at this moment seemed like a burning ragdoll, his flesh and blood melting at an astonishing speed.

Even before the rule impact reached him, under the Star-Destroying Level rule, Lin An could not even bear the precursor of the rule.

He watched, neither dodging nor avoiding.

Perhaps it was despair that made Lin An give up even struggling.

For a moment, the flame giant actually regretted, regretting that the rule he casually unleashed was too strong!

He actually still really wanted to capture Lin An alive, and really wanted to know the secret of the Shattered Star title.

Damn it, this strange worm, he won't even leave his head behind, will he!

It's already too late for 'regret'.

The rule has already left his hand; even he cannot reduce its power.

Unexpected.

At the moment when Lin An's skull began to melt, in Gul Hong Mo's 'ear', a voice utterly calm, even tinged with a hint of mockery, softly sounded.

"Only you?"

Huh?!

No time to make any extra reaction.

Faced with Lin An's strange expression before death, the flame giant's heart could only rise with instinctive absurdity and anger.

What does 'only him' mean?

Ridiculous! Not to mention only him, he could blow a breath and kill this trash!

However, the accident really happened.

Only seen, before the Light Spear capable of piercing everything, a trace of rule power that seemed to detonate instantly burst forth in Lin An's eyes!

Within seconds, Gul Hong Mo only felt his vision blur.

After a cluster of purple light vanished at extreme speed, he actually saw Lin An appear before him as if by instantaneous movement!

This is...?!

Position-switching rule?! War Star level strength?!

What a swift reaction.

Almost instantly judging the rule Lin An used, the flame giant subconsciously reached out again, a clump of instinctively used fire rule was about to blast onto Lin An.

The surprise was not because Lin An rushed to his front.

He could feel that the rule power Lin An used was pathetically weak, posing no threat to him at all.

What surprised him was that this worm actually began to resist, even daring to dodge his attack!

"Seek death!"

In his fury, Gul Hong Mo simply planned to grab and crush Lin An's body.

Dodging his condensed rule spear, what's that supposed to be?!

He hadn't even used much strength!

But at this close distance, this worm is just complaining that his death isn't fast enough!

"Boom!!"

The suddenly expanding rule flames, like a giant net, once again enveloped.

Yet reality eerily resembled, as if able to predict his move, in an instant Lin An's eyes again burst forth with two beams, one blue and one black.

Under an opposing repulsive force and instantaneous acceleration, Lin An at this moment, like a loach, forcibly slipped past him and charged straight out of the exchange point!

This is?!

Damn it! This worm wants to rush out and escape?!

"Bang!"

Pushed back half a step by the slight blue rule, within that instant Gul Hong Mo shockingly and angrily discovered that Lin An had actually run away!

Right under his eyelids, under his watch, Lin An rushed out of the exchange point!

No time to think why Lin An did this.

Even if this worm rushes out, he can't escape; outside are all Fifth Stage, Lin An will die even faster!

But for Gul Hong Mo, this also meant that the duck at his mouth flew away!

Once Lin An is killed by other Fifth Stage beings, all his schemes will be wasted!

Without hesitation.

With a boom, the furiously enraged Gul Hong Mo, like an exploding blazing sun, instantly chased after him!

He shouldn't have held back! He should have just killed Lin An directly!

At the same time.

Instantly consuming three rule seals, just to rush out of the exchange point, Lin An, having just crossed the exchange point barrier, immediately felt a dense, oppressive pressure to the extreme.

Only seen, outside the exchange point, the huge fortress had already vanished; the lingering rule power stirred up a storm, and above the fortress where hundreds of Fifth Stage beings fought, countless rules shimmered.

And at the moment Lin An rushed out, he also felt the gazes of many Fifth Stage beings lock onto him.

There was fear, vigilance, greed, and bewilderment.

After he suddenly rushed out, these Fifth Stage could not immediately determine why he had come out!

Is Gul Hong Mo dead!?

Or did Lin An, unable to match him, escape!?

He paid no heed to those restless, hostile gazes.

As if he cared nothing about exposing himself to the eyes of all Fifth Stage, nor about his own life or death.

At this moment, Lin An's heart was still as water; all power, condensed to the extreme within him, kept compressing inside his body.

Unlike Gul Hong Mo's judgment.

He was not trying to escape!

And he could not possibly escape!

What he wanted was to fight before everyone!

"I only have one chance to oppose the Fifth Stage's power!"

"Only by thoroughly intimidating everyone do I have hope to survive!"

Knowing full well that his peak state lasts only that brief instant, Lin An clearly understood that even if he struggled to kill a few War Stars, it would be meaningless!

He only needed to display enough combat power to threaten, even kill, a Star-Destroying level, in order to gain a moment's respite!

Hiding at the Exchange Point was merely to keep a trump card, waiting for a chance to strike!

Now...

The chance has come!

"Boom!!!"

Everything happened extremely quickly.

Just as the Fifth Stage throughout the venue had no time to think further, the Flame Giant that had simultaneously pursued out of the Exchange Point instantly rushed out as well.

Likewise noticing that everyone was looking at him, Gul Hong Mo's heart overflowed with violent rage, only hating that he had still been careless!

Having come this far, even if everyone saw him, he could no longer afford to worry about anything!

He could not delay any longer!

Kill this brat, and he would immediately flee! Once the other Fifth Stage reacted, the reward might not end up in his hands!

"Die for me!!!"

An angry strike!

With the thought of killing Lin An and then fleeing, this time Gul Hong Mo's erupting Rule Power actually twisted the entire sky above the fortress.

He not only had to surely kill Lin An, but also attack everyone to create time for his own escape!

"Boom!!!!"

In an instant, a round of fusion light that seemed to explode infinitely, like a supernova burst, enveloped the entire venue.

The dark curtain spanning thousands of kilometers was instantly illuminated at this moment!

Under the eruption of a massive amount of Rule Force, the whole world seemed to be boiling!

His expression was ferocious.

Having nearly consumed half of his Rule Reserve, Gul Hong Mo awaited only the signal's sound to flee the fortress!

That worm could not possibly survive! Facing his full-force strike, even a Star-Destroying level would not dare confront its edge!

Just as all Fifth Stage were frantically raising their Rule defenses or fleeing.

A faint point, yet like an eternal soul-light burning in darkness, suddenly ignited and flickered within the light-burst.

Within that silver flame, countless overlapping images of Lin An appeared.

Time Flame!

Burn!
