181: In less than three minutes, all the evil spirits were wiped out!

[Ding! Killed Sixth-Tier Demonic Evil 'Shadow Demon Lord', obtained 29,255 points!]

[Ding! Killed Sixth-Tier Demonic Evil 'Thousand-Faced Poison Venerable', obtained 29,881 points!]

The System's notification sound rang out crisply.

At this point, the entire Black Mountain Forest Area...

From the peripheral small fry to the leaders, from the heart of the abyss to the otherworldly Demonic Evils, everything had been thoroughly purged—not a single one remained!

Chen Nian slowly withdrew his hand, as if he had merely brushed dust from his fingertips.

He looked around.

This nest, which just moments ago was filled with soaring Demonic Qi and condensed evil, was now a silent ruin.

All filth and evil had been completely leveled.

Just then—

"Tap, tap, tap..."

Hurried and chaotic footsteps, accompanied by heavy panting.

Coming from afar, they broke the heart-palpitating silence.

Led by Zhao Tiefeng, the Jiangyuan City Spiritual Energy Bureau Assault Team finally made their way through the severely damaged forest paths and arrived at this core area.

However, the moment they rushed into the nest and saw the scene before them.

Everyone froze in place, as if they had been collectively hit by a petrification Spell!

Their eyes were wide, their mouths hung open unconsciously, and their faces were filled with extreme shock and disbelief!

The core area of the nest was terrifyingly empty.

The expected traces of a tragic, grand battle did not appear, and the expected dense, ferocious army of Demonic Evils had also vanished without a trace.

In the air, the previously thick, suffocating Demonic Qi—a mixture of evil and brutality...

...had now been wiped away as if by an invisible giant hand, becoming incredibly thin.

Only a faint, silent afterglow remained, like the aftermath of all things withering.

On the ground, there were no mountains of Demonic Evil corpses, no broken limbs, and no splattered blood.

There were only three particularly eye-catching, not-yet-solidified dark red stains of flesh and blood distributed in different spots.

One could vaguely distinguish that they seemed to have belonged to parts of some massive bodies.

And in the very center of the nest, on that eerie dark red ground, there remained a massive, charred crater.

Around it were scattered crystal fragments that looked as if they had been scorched and purified by extreme heat.

A faint, heart-palpitating remnant of destructive energy still lingered in the air.

Besides that, there was nothing else.

It was as if those powerful Demonic Evils that had made them feel despair, as well as the Demon Nest Core radiating terrifying fluctuations, were all just their hallucinations and had never existed.

"This... what on earth... happened?" a young team member muttered in a daze, his voice dry.

"The... the Demonic Evils? So many Demonic Evils... and those terrifying auras... how are they all gone?"

Another person rubbed their eyes hard, wondering if they were hallucinating.

"That suffocating Demonic Qi... is gone? It's like it never appeared..."

"It's Special Commissioner Chen... it must have been done by Special Commissioner Chen!"

"But... how long has it been? We rushed here at full speed; it hasn't even been a few minutes!"

"A few minutes... to purge the entire core nest? Without even leaving any decent traces? This is too ridiculous!"

Shocked discussions broke out in low voices among the team, filled with disbelief and deep horror.

They had clearly rushed here with all their might, even prepared for a bitter struggle or sacrifice.

And the result?

From the moment they were left behind by Chen Nian to the moment they followed the sounds and energy remnants to find this place.

All in all, it definitely hadn't been more than five minutes!

In just these short five minutes, the terrifying Demon Nest Core that had left their Jiangyuan Branch Bureau helpless and even forced them to seek help from the General Bureau had been completely leveled?

They didn't even need to clean up the battlefield—because there was simply no battlefield to clean!

All the Demonic Evils had vanished!

Were they annihilated? Or purified?

Or were they completely erased from this world by some means they couldn't understand?

They looked at the tall figure standing in the field with his hands behind his back, looking as calm as if he had just taken a stroll, their eyes filled with extreme complexity.

In that gaze, there was the relief of surviving a disaster and the relaxation of completing a mission.

But more than that, there was a sense of awe and worship, as if they were looking up at a deity!

They knew Special Commissioner Chen was strong, strong beyond common logic.

But every time they witnessed it with their own eyes, it would refresh the upper limit of their understanding of the word "strong"!

This was no longer power within the human realm!

This was a miracle!

Zhao Tiefeng forcibly suppressed the stormy waves in his heart, took a deep breath, and stepped quickly toward Chen Nian.

He stood tall and gave an incredibly solemn military salute, his voice trembling slightly with excitement:

"Special Commissioner Chen! You've worked hard! Thank you for clearing such a great threat for Jiangyuan City and for Dragon Country!"

His words came from the bottom of his heart, filled with gratitude and respect.

Chen Nian merely waved his hand casually, as if he had done something insignificant.

He didn't care about their shock and directly ordered:

"The Demonic Evils here have been removed. You handle the aftermath according to standard procedures to ensure there are no future troubles."

Zhao Tiefeng immediately responded loudly, his tone firm:

"Yes! Special Commissioner Chen! Please rest assured! We will definitely handle it properly and leave no hidden dangers!"

The team members behind him also came to their senses and responded in unison: "Yes!"

With the order given, everyone immediately snapped out of their shock, showing the discipline of an elite force as they moved quickly into action.

Detecting energy residues, setting up purification formations, collecting samples, recording the scene... everything was orderly.

Chen Nian said no more, preparing to leave and return to Donghai City to tally his gains.

However, just then—

His brow furrowed slightly!

An extremely faint yet exceptionally sharp and evil energy fluctuation, like the tip of a needle, instantly pierced his perception!

"Hmm?"

Chen Nian's gaze instantly became sharp as a blade. He snapped his head around, his eyes shooting like lightning toward the direction the fluctuation came from—the southeast!

His movement immediately caught everyone's attention.

Zhao Tiefeng, who was about to lead the team to start the aftermath work, was stunned and took a step forward, asking cautiously:

"Special Commissioner Chen, do you... have any other instructions?"

Chen Nian didn't look at him; his entire attention was focused on that strange fluctuation rapidly moving away.

Without a doubt, something was quietly probing the situation here.

To avoid being discovered by him, it had even used some secret technique for concealment.

That secret technique seemed very powerful.

But unfortunately, under his Sixth-Tier Prison Suppressing Divine Body and the dual perception of the Spirit Condensation Realm.

The opponent's methods were nothing more than petty tricks, like showing off skills before a master!

The corners of Chen Nian's mouth curled into a cold and interested arc.

"Interesting."

"I didn't expect there to be an unexpected harvest."

He muttered to himself, then quickly ordered Zhao Tiefeng:

"The aftermath work here, you are fully responsible."

"There seems to be a fish that escaped the net in the southeast. I'll go handle it."

"You all be ready to provide support at any time!"

Before his voice even finished—

"Boom—!!!"

Chen Nian's figure was instantly wrapped in a dense blood-colored light!

Blood Fiend Incarnation, activated!

In the next moment, he transformed into a piercing blood-red rainbow that tore through the sky, violently smashing through the rock wall at the top of the nest!

"Boom!"

Accompanied by a loud crash and splashing rubble.

At a terrifying speed exceeding the speed of sound, he instantly vanished into the horizon to the southeast!

Only Zhao Tiefeng and the Spiritual Energy Bureau Agents were left behind, looking dazed and not yet fully reacting.
