Chapter 1849: New Era 9

Run! Run! Run!!!

Almost half a second after Lin An appeared, besides Namiko, who still didn't understand how terrifying he was, she remained stiff in place.

In an instant, the remaining five fourth-stage fugitives, as if gone mad, twisted their faces and screamed as they fled.

Their escape speed was so great it even surpassed their own limits; under endless fear, the leading black mist even with a whoosh shed the special black mist wrapping itself, exposing its true form, which was comically like a long snake.

Fleeing madly, desperately mobilizing every rule they could, the five were like bereaved dogs, dashing straight out beyond a kilometer.

No one knew how immense their fear was!

Not only was it the terrifying memory of Lin An once slaughtering into the instance and nearly wiping them out; more so, in the instant Lin An appeared, they realized the meaning behind it!

Five-Star Mission! Lin An came back alive from the Five-Star Mission!

Even Lin An at the former Fourth Stage Peak could slaughter them; now Lin An will be even more terrifying—he has even broken through to the Fifth Stage!

They never even thought of it, nor dared imagine Lin An could return alive. The Lin An appearing before them now was no different from a demon returning from hell—no, it was the fear of the Abyss reappearing!

"Run?"

Paying no heed to the fleeing fourth-stage fugitives, Lin An gave a light laugh, casually tossed a clump of space fragments, and then ignored this bunch of trash.

The Rule Fragments left after a Fifth Stage death were enough to trap the original fugitives in place, dooming them to die in despair.

He noticed Andre mentioned by this bunch of trash, and he was still curious about it.

Turning his head, Lin An looked at Namiko, who, though shocked, obviously still wanted to fight him, and spoke again:

"Where is Jing Tian?"

"Tell me, and I'll let you die a little more easily."

His voice was flat, carrying an unquestionable tone.

He heard Namiko's words just spoken; Jing Tian had disappeared in Japan, and from the meaning in that fish-head monster's mouth, Lin An could infer that the other party must have had contact with Jing Tian. If Jing Tian's system ID hadn't remained lit, he would have acted half a minute earlier.

However, Namiko, composed of over a thousand consciousnesses, seemed terrifyingly stupid.

Or rather, being deliberately concealed by the fugitives, she simply didn't know why Lin An had disappeared.

Hearing Lin An's indifferent, as-if-disregarding-everything tone, a surge of extreme anger burst from the giant fish head, as if stirring up former memories.

The same tone, the same way of regarding them as ants!

But it's different now! This time is absolutely different!

She couldn't sense Lin An's strength, merely taking him to still be the former Fourth Stage Peak!

As fellow peaks, they would only become stronger!

The thousands of eyes growing on its scales all stared fixedly at Lin An, speaking in unison:

"Lin An! You actually aren't dead!?"

"You sneaky trash! Do you think I'd fear you!? Fourth Stage Peak—I am too!"

"Boom!!!"

The seawater surged up, as if raising a boundless tsunami. In an instant, after mobilizing her own special power, each of the raised towering waves now, under Namiko's control, transformed into faceless bodies.

It was as if the tsunami were infused into a soul; the grudges of those who once died at sea now condensed into substance, surging forth in an enveloping force from around Lin An.

Boundless cold, as if turning the entire sea area into a graveyard; for a moment, everyone present turned deathly pale, feeling their souls faintly tremble.

"Captain Lin! Be careful!"

"Lin An!! We'll help you!"

"Get back here! Come kill him with me!"

The great battle is about to erupt!

At this moment, on one side are Gao Tian and the others, who have just come to their senses, shocked and excited, instantly wanting to break through the obstruction to lend Lin An a hand.

On the other side is Namiko, whose fury has given her boundless fighting spirit, determined to take revenge.

Although she felt Lin An was absolutely no match for her, Lin An's appearance was truly too bizarre—he even, right before her eyes, pinched to death a mid-level fourth-stage in empty space. Overwhelmed by Lin An's former pressure, Yamato intends to recall the fleeing Gods!

The more strength, the more assurance; she certainly didn't want Lin An to still have hope of escaping!

"Don't run anymore! I'm also a peak! What exactly are you afraid of!?"

"Let the stronger ones descend together! Let's kill him together!"

However, facing Namiko's tirade, even the black mist and others who had been blocked and couldn't escape now had no intention of turning back.

For a moment, like a collapsing chick, they only thought of smashing the space fragments blocking them, to run as far as possible.

What "same peak"!

If, before being intercepted, they could still be startled awake by Namiko and have the courage to return to fight.

But the instant they touched the fragments, the black mist and others knew they were doomed!

"Fifth Stage! Fifth Stage aura! This thing is the Rule Fragments left by a dead Fifth Stage!!"

"Damn it! Damn it!! I'm going to die! Lin An must have reached Fifth Stage!!"

If fear had levels, the black mist and others right now would certainly be max level.

Hearing Namiko behind them still roaring angrily at them, urging them to return and jointly besiege Lin An, the five at this moment would love to turn around and blast that fish monster's mouth, urging her to hurry up and die!

For a moment, several of them couldn't help but hate themselves for being so careless, leaving the instance, and also hate themselves for boasting that they still had stronger allies!
