165: One man slew a god, and vanished without a trace!

However, Chen Nian paid no mind to their shock.

His mind was currently completely immersed in his massive harvest.

Slaying an Evil God had directly earned him 200,000 points.

Furthermore, he had obtained a new skill that sounded anything but simple.

Although he hadn't used it yet, based on the System's usual reward patterns and the aura revealed by the skill's name,

Chen Nian had a premonition that this was definitely another terrifyingly powerful ability, perhaps even involving the level of fundamental rules.

Good, very good!

A satisfied curve formed at the corner of Chen Nian's mouth.

This trip to the Northwest was definitely the right move!

The time spent was minimal, but the harvest was immense, far exceeding any of his previous operations.

Indeed, tasks like this—striking the heart of the enemy and clearing out large evil strongholds—were the fastest and most satisfying way to earn points.

He forcibly suppressed the surge of excitement in his heart and slowly turned around.

His gaze calmly swept across the devastated Sanctuary and the Spiritual Energy Bureau members who were still in a state of shocked daze.

His vision finally settled on the commander leading the team.

Upon meeting Chen Nian's gaze,

The commander shuddered as if struck by an electric current, instantly snapping out of his stupor.

He hurriedly stood at attention, puffing out his chest with all his might as he gave a standard military salute: "Special Commissioner... Special Commissioner Chen! Do... do you have any instructions?!"

His voice broke the silence of the scene.

The other Special Agents also came to their senses, quickly straightening up and saluting, the awe in their eyes impossible to hide.

Chen Nian spoke in a flat, casual tone:

"The primary culprit here has been eliminated, and the remaining trash has mostly been cleared out."

"The subsequent tasks like site investigation, evidence collection, and debris clearing will be left for you to handle."

Hearing this, the commander straightened his back even more and responded in an incredibly respectful voice:

"Yes! Special Commissioner Chen! Please rest assured!"

"We will complete the cleanup work to the highest standards and ensure no hidden dangers remain!"

His voice carried an uncontrollable tremble, an instinctive awe when facing absolute power.

Chen Nian nodded and said no more.

He looked around at the mess, the Sanctuary filled with wreckage and foul blood.

It was time to leave this place.

Return the way he came?

Too much trouble.

Having to navigate through those winding passages and ruins would be a pure waste of time.

He preferred a more direct approach.

Thus, before the Spiritual Energy Bureau members could fully recover, Chen Nian moved again.

He didn't head toward the passage he had arrived from; instead, he casually raised his right hand and slightly clenched his fingers.

"Buzz—!"

A terrifying surge of power, far more refined and potent than when he tore through the Evil God's Domain, yet equally Soul-shivering, suddenly rose from within him!

A golden halo flowed over his fist, not as brilliant as the sun as before, but instead carrying an intent of ultimate destruction and penetration.

In the next second, Chen Nian threw a punch at the surrounding space Barrier!

"Rumble—!!!!!"

A world-shaking roar suddenly exploded!

Where the fist struck, space became like fragile glass, emitting a horrifying cracking sound as it failed to bear the burden!

The very structure of space was forcibly pierced and torn apart by this punch containing supreme power!

A massive, dark passage was brutally blasted out by his single punch!

The other end of the passage was no longer the gloomy scene of the cult headquarters.

Instead, natural light from the outside world and fresh air filtered through—it was clearly the outskirts of the Black Wind Mountain Range ruins!

Shattering the Void Realm with bare hands! Forcibly piercing the space Barrier!

The entire Sanctuary fell into a deathly silence once more.

All the Spiritual Energy Bureau Special Agents present were again stunned into place by Chen Nian's supreme power.

Chen Nian didn't even look back at them.

His figure flickered, turning into a streak of light that plunged directly into the space passage he had forcibly created, vanishing from sight.

Only after Chen Nian's figure had completely left did everyone in the Sanctuary breathe a long sigh of relief, as if they had been drained of strength.

But immediately following that, an unparalleled excitement and agitation erupted like a volcano.

At this moment, the commander forcibly suppressed the turmoil in his heart and shouted sternly:

"Stop dazing around! Special Commissioner Chen has given the order—immediately clear the scene and execute the cleanup mission!"

"All units, move! Check every corner, collect all valuable intelligence and samples, and ensure nothing is missed!"

"Yes!"

With the order given, everyone snapped out of their trance, forcibly composed themselves, and began to act efficiently.

The entire Spiritual Energy Bureau force was like a tightly wound spring, throwing themselves into the intense cleanup work with unprecedented efficiency and enthusiasm.

Every face was filled with excitement and pride.

To be able to participate in and witness such a legendary battle, and then handle its aftermath,

Was a supreme honor for them!

...On the outskirts of the Black Wind Ruins, at the blockade line command post.

The atmosphere at the Spiritual Energy Bureau's temporary command center remained heavy.

Large numbers of troops were on standby, and various detection instruments were running at full power, monitoring the energy fluctuations deep within the ruins.

The previous explosion of the Evil God's pressure and the subsequent world-shaking energy conflict had everyone's hearts in their throats.

General Director General Li Zhenguo stood before the command console, his brow furrowed and his fists unconsciously clenched.

Although he had absolute confidence in Chen Nian's strength, the opponent was, after all, a legendary Evil God; no one could predict what might happen.

However, in the midst of this suffocating wait—

A sudden, violent energy fluctuation came from the space ahead.

The space in a core area of the blockade line distorted and fluctuated without warning!

"Alert! Abnormal space fluctuation detected!" the monitor immediately cried out.

The Special Agents responsible for security instantly tensed up.

Various weapons and spells were instantly aimed at the fluctuating area, standing ready as they thought another powerful Demonic Evil was about to burst through space.

However, in the next second, under everyone's uncertain gazes, that distorted space burst open.

Following that, a figure wearing ordinary casual clothes and standing tall stepped out as if taking a leisurely stroll.

It was Chen Nian.

When they saw his face clearly, the entire base seemed to have been muted before erupting into an even more fanatical commotion.

Countless gazes focused on him, filled with awe, curiosity, and undisguisable excitement.

"Special Commissioner Chen!"

"It's Special Commissioner Chen! He's out!"

The sentries monitoring the front lines were the first to cry out in surprise.

General Director General Li Zhenguo's spirits lifted, and he immediately hurried forward to meet him, his face filled with unconcealed concern and tension:

"Special Commissioner Chen! Are you alright? What's the situation inside?"

His words were hurried and full of worry.

Chen Nian glanced at him, casually waved his hand, and said in a flat tone:

"The matters inside have been resolved."

"The Evil God Cult headquarters has been wiped out, and the Evil God they worshipped has been slain by me."

"You can just send people in to handle the cleanup."

His tone was as casual as if he were saying, "Today's breakfast tasted pretty good."

However, these words fell upon the ears of the Spiritual Energy Bureau members like a thunderclap from the Nine Heavens!

Re... resolved?

Even the Evil God was slain?!

So fast!!

Although they had been mentally prepared, when they heard this result from Special Commissioner Chen's own mouth, the shock was still beyond measure!

Director General Li Zhenguo took a deep breath, his face instantly filled with uncontrollable ecstasy, excitement, and supreme awe!

He snapped his body straight and gave Chen Nian an incredibly solemn and standard military salute:

"Special Commissioner Chen, thank you for your hard work!"

"A thousand thanks; you have once again saved countless people. You are the true Guardian God of the Dragon Country!"

His voice trembled slightly with emotion, filled with heartfelt gratitude and reverence.

Chen Nian only gave a faint "Mm" in response, seemingly indifferent to these praises.

He looked at the entrance to the ruins in the distance, which was shrouded by a Barrier, and asked casually, "Is there anything else? If not, I'll be heading back."

Director General Li Zhenguo hurriedly said, "No! Nothing else! Leave the subsequent trivial matters to us; we wouldn't dare trouble you further! Please, go and get some rest!"

Chen Nian nodded and said no more.

The trouble was resolved, and the points were in hand.

It was time to go back, take stock of the spoils, and continue getting stronger!

With that thought, his figure flickered, turning into a streak of light that sped directly toward Donghai City.

He left behind a group of Spiritual Energy Bureau high-rankers and soldiers who were still in a state of massive shock.

They stared for a long time in the direction where Chen Nian had disappeared.

Their gazes were filled with endless awe, worship, and a trace of dreamlike daze.

After a long while, Director General Li Zhenguo slowly lowered his saluting hand and murmured to himself, his voice full of infinite emotion:

"Slaying a god alone... coming and going without a trace..."

"Special Commissioner Chen's power is no longer something mortals can fathom."

"To be able to stand alongside such a person is truly the great fortune of my Dragon Country!"

Hearing this, everyone around nodded in deep agreement, their hearts filled with the same shock and relief.

Soon, Director General Li Zhenguo composed himself, his face returning to its usual fortitude and decisiveness as he gave a deep-voiced command:

"Pass down my orders!"

"The First and Third Assault Battalions are to enter the ruins immediately to rendezvous with the Advance Team and take full control of the Evil God Cult headquarters site!"

"The Technical and Logistics Departments are to follow up with full effort to conduct purification and cleanup to the highest standards!"

Hearing this, the Special Agents also replied in unison:

"Yes!"
