Chapter 2186

Let go.

Over...

His voice sounded as if each word was being squeezed out from his throat.

With no way to escape, Liu Guang stiffly turned his body, trying to beg the monster to spare him. But before he could finish speaking, Lin An struck him with a blank expression.

Bang!!!

Only a sickening sound of bones shattering could be heard. In the face of absolute overwhelming force, Liu Guang instantly slammed into the ground like a cannonball. Under the tremendous force, his eyeballs popped out of their sockets with a splat, and half of his body instantly rotted into mush upon impact.

Boom!!

In an instant, the earth surged like a tide, and the originally hard battlefield surface was gouged out a trench tens of meters deep.

Dust billowed, like a minor earthquake.

Debris rained down into the pit, where Liu Guang lay limp, his whole body deeply embedded.

His limbs had been smashed to pieces, and the Star-Core Rules on his surface were as fragile as paper, unable to withstand even a second. Never before had he been so close to death; if not for this strike being so casual, he would have been blown apart mid-air!

Only his eyes could move; in his dying state, Liu Guang was filled with despair, unable to move a muscle.

Only now did he realize what the lizard's words meant.

This battlefield certainly wouldn't see a Star-Destroying Level entity, but it would produce a monster comparable to a Star-Destroyer!

Why?!

Why?!

How can a Fourth Stage power overwhelm Fifth Stage rules?! How can a Body System's speed be this fast, while also mastering large-scale space seals?!

We have the Fourth Stage, Fifth Stage, Body System, and Space Seal. Also, 'rules' maybe, but it's not a name.

Regret, helpless!

If possible, when he received Lei Meng's message at that time, he should have immediately let that lizard die! As that monster said, he should have thought of it—what kind of existence could make those several teams disappear, and what strength does it actually have?!

He only blamed himself for trusting his own judgment too much—or rather, no normal person could have thought of that!

However, no matter how much he regretted, it was pointless.

Watching Lin An slowly fly toward him, with only his last breath left, he could only desperately plead with his eyes, uttering meaningless hoarse sounds.

But begging for mercy seemed pointless as well.

Ignoring Liu Guang's fear, Lin An descended slowly, looking at him as if he were examining material.

He noticed that this group of Heavenly Walkers' rules seemed special, possessing not only spacetime attributes but also a combined field effect. However, because he was too strong and too fast, this Heavenly Walkers squad didn't even have a chance to show its true strength.

(Not bad material, just don't know what equipment it's suitable for strengthening..)

When had he ever been treated like this? Facing Lin An's emotionless gaze, Liu Guang's fear nearly peaked.

A stroke of luck!

In an instant, he suddenly recalled the words of that damned lizard.

He exerted all his mental strength, letting out three sharp cries like screams, which instantly rang out:

"I have points!"

"I know who has it!"

"I'm willing to cooperate!!!"

Completely unlike his previous arrogance, if it weren't for the Heavenly Walkers' dignity still lingering a bit, he would have even shouted that line.

His chest rose and fell rapidly as he watched Lin An slowly place his hand on his head; at this moment, Liu Guang felt as if he were being judged by death.

Spare him! Spare him!! He's willing to do anything! He's valuable!!

Time had never felt so long, as if a century had passed.

Maybe it was ten seconds, maybe ten minutes, until that cold hand, stained with unknown amounts of blood, lifted from his head—only then did Liu Guang realize that barely a second had passed.

"Very good."

Lin An chuckled, then, as easily as picking up trash, he yanked him out.

"After that, who in your Alliance has the most points? Also, how many points can you scrape together to buy your life?"

He survived.

Although he had survived the disaster, for Liu Guang it was merely going from one nightmare to another.

He struggled to control his facial muscles, trying to force out an ugly smile:

"Five... fifty points..."

"But...! But our strongest Heavenly Walker... has several hundred points!"

Three minutes later.

Lin An furrowed his brows slightly, gazing thoughtfully at the key-shaped crystal in his hand.

This crystal represents the mark of joining the Heavenly Walkers; with it, he can locate the Heavenly Walkers' main force and even get a chance to communicate.

At the same time, after he put away the crystal, he had been staring at Lei Meng flying wildly in the distance, and only then did he run over, bewildered, bowing and scraping.

"Lord Lin? You... why did you let them go?!"

"They'll definitely expose your strength if they go back! You could just kill them; promises like that don't matter at all!"

Jealousy, discomfort, or perhaps putting himself in Lin An's position left Lei Meng baffled. He couldn't understand how Lin An actually let those Heavenly Walkers go back. Although he said they left two or three behind, the most important Liu Guang escaped!

Even with your toes you could figure it out: once the Heavenly Walkers learn of this monster's existence, they'll surely join forces with other teams to carry out a purge!

He tilted his head slightly and instantly saw what Lei Meng was thinking; Lin An chuckled lightly and said casually:

"Are you teaching me how to do things?"

Ignoring Lei Meng's face turning deathly pale in an instant, Lin An calmly gazed toward the distant Eternal Summit, as lofty as the heavens.

"He won't say it, and he doesn't dare to."

"And even if they knew, what then? No matter how many come, I'll kill them all—it saves me the trouble of seeking them out."

To speak the truth.

In Lin An's eyes, everyone here is merely his material. Killing them early or late makes no difference. If it weren't for maximizing profit, he could start from the first floor and slaughter his way up, level by level.

Liuguang is too poor. After undergoing interrogation, he discovered that even elite war stars who enter the Star Radiance War carry no points with them. Those who can exchange points for potions only bring exactly enough points to exchange.

Therefore, aside from a small portion of privately hoarded points, and like the strongest seed of this Heaven Walkers who possesses them, hoping to obtain points from other competitors is virtually impossible.

Moreover, to steal points from these people, he also needs an insider's cooperation; otherwise, if he just kills them on a whim, who knows whether they have any points or not.

Upon hearing Lin An's arrogant words, Lei Meng was instantly speechless. To be frank, this monster is strong, but no matter how strong, he couldn't withstand a siege by dozens, even hundreds of squads! Quantity brings about qualitative change; even a true Star Destroyer would wary of many war stars acting together.

"Lord Lin is right; with your strength, you naturally need not fear these. The mere Heaven Walkers are nothing but ants—you could wipe them out with a raise of your hand, I..."

Without waiting for Lei Meng to suppress the feeling in his heart, he began to flatter Lin An against his will.

The next second, however, he saw Lin An calmly looking at him.

"The Heaven Walkers are the ones you summoned, right? Tell me, who's next?"
