196: A bloody harvest, annihilating the entire field!

Southeast of Shanyin City, Black Wind Pass.

The battle here was even more tragic than at the Guyin Mountain Pass.

The defensive line constructed by the Spiritual Energy Bureau was already riddled with holes.

The pale blue energy barrier was like shattered glass, flickering unsteadily, liable to collapse completely at any moment.

On the ground lay many corpses of Special Agents, scattered in all directions.

Blood soaked the soil, and the air was thick with the heavy scent of blood and the foul stench of Demonic Evils.

The remaining Special Agents were all wounded, their spiritual energy nearly exhausted.

Their eyes were filled with despair and grim determination.

Their weapons' light was dim, and they could barely withstand the tide of Demonic Evils surging toward them.

However, this time, the number of Demonic Evils was greater, and their quality was higher!

Leading them were five Fifth-Rank Demonic Evils with overwhelming auras!

These five Fifth-Rank Demonic Evils clearly possessed higher intelligence.

They did not blindly charge, but instead commanded the Demonic Evils under their leadership to constantly wear down and strike at the Spiritual Energy Bureau's remaining defensive line.

The leading Demonic Evil let out a deafening roar, its giant axe slamming heavily onto the barrier, causing cracks to spread:

“Hahaha! Puny humans, give up your resistance!”

“Your flesh and Souls will become our finest sacrifices!”

Another Demonic Evil let out a sharp, strange laugh:

“Struggling is futile; under our Master's will, you shall all eventually turn to ash!”

Other Demonic Evils chimed in one after another.

“Hahahahaha, so much prey! Today we shall kill to our hearts' content!”

“Tsk tsk, look at these pathetic worms. Their fear is truly delicious.”

“Kill them all! Leave none alive!”

The Demonic Evils were incredibly arrogant, clearly not taking the people of the Spiritual Energy Bureau seriously.

The Special Agents of the Spiritual Energy Bureau looked ashen-faced. Their captain's voice was hoarse and filled with despair: “Hold on! For Shanyin City! Even if we die, we die at our posts!”

“Captain... we... we really can't hold on anymore!” a young Special Agent cried out. His arm had been corroded by venom and was already pitch black.

“Where are the reinforcements? Why haven't our reinforcements arrived yet?!” another person shouted in despair.

However, the only response they received was the even more frenzied and terrifying attacks of the Demonic Evils.

Seeing the defensive line about to collapse completely, just as everyone thought death was certain—

A sudden change occurred!

Without any warning, the sky seemed to be covered by a faint blood-colored filter.

And then—

“Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish!”

Thousands of blood-colored threads, thinner than hair yet sharp to the extreme,

Descended from the sky without warning, like a torrential rain of death!

The speed of these threads surpassed the limits of visual capture.

They ignored physical obstacles and the Demonic Qi protecting the Demonic Evils, accurately covering the entire tide of monsters!

“Puchi! Puchi! Puchi! Puchi! Puchi!”

The sound of flesh being sliced, so dense it made one's scalp tingle, rang out instantly like popping beans!

Time seemed to freeze at this moment.

The Fifth-Rank Demonic Evils, who were incomparably arrogant just a second ago, and their army of hundreds and thousands of Demonic Evils, suddenly stiffened!

The sinister grins on the Demonic Evils' faces froze, and their charging movements halted.

Even the hissing and roaring of the Ghostly Creatures charging from behind came to an abrupt end!

The next second—

“Hualalala—!!!!”

Like building blocks being pushed over, or tofu sliced by an invisible giant blade,

All the Demonic Evils passed over by the blood-colored threads,

Whether they were low-rank specters and Essence Spirits or those five powerful Fifth-Rank Demonic Evils,

Their bodies instantly split, collapsed, and shattered along countless fine blood-lines!

Blood gushed out like a bursting dam.

Shredded meat, broken bones, and fragments of internal organs... splashed in all directions like an explosion!

In just an instant!

The entire Black Wind Pass,

That army of Demonic Evils like a black tide, along with those five despair-inducing Fifth-Rank Demonic Evil leaders... were completely wiped out!

In their place, only a literal... Asura Hell remained, covering an area of hundreds of meters, composed of chunks of flesh and viscous blood!

A bloody stench so thick it wouldn't dissipate rose into the sky, making one nauseous.

However, Chen Nian didn't care at all; in fact, he was very satisfied.

Because the System's notification sounds were currently flooding his mind like crazy.

【Ding! Killed Fifth-Rank Demonic Evil ‘Mountain Crushing Demon’, gained 13,891 points!】

【Ding! Killed Fifth-Rank Demonic Evil ‘Soul Burning Demon Bat’, gained 15,211 points!】

【Ding! Killed Fifth-Rank Demonic Evil ‘Thousand-Foot Venom Dragon’, gained 16,882 points!】

【Ding! Killed Fifth-Rank Demonic Evil ‘Shadow Hunter’, gained 17,543 points!】

【Ding! Killed Fifth-Rank Demonic Evil ‘Soul-Calling Lich’, gained 19,551 points!】

...Feeling the points on his panel rising frantically,

Chen Nian felt very satisfied with this.

However, unlike his joy, everyone else at the scene was currently dazed where they stood.

Silence!

A deathly silence enveloped the entire Black Wind Pass.

The remaining Spiritual Energy Bureau Special Agents all stood frozen in place, like clay or wooden sculptures.

Their mouths were wide open, and their eyes were bulging.

Their brains had completely crashed from trying to process this scene that far exceeded the limits of their understanding.

What happened?

That devastating army of Demonic Evils just now... those five Fifth-Rank Demonic Evils that made them despair... just like that... gone?

Cut to pieces by those red threads like mowing grass?

This... what kind of power is this?!

They looked at the figure standing in the air at the edge of the sky, clothes fluttering, as if they were looking at a god.

However, before they could even think of a reason, or even recover from their shock,

“Boom—!”

Hearing a loud bang, that figure directly turned into a blurred blood-colored stream of light.

Without stopping, as if teleporting, it pulled out a sonic boom.

It sped away toward another direction where intense energy fluctuations and explosions were coming from, disappearing into the horizon.

He came suddenly and left even more quickly.

Leaving behind only this ground full of blood and a group of completely dumbfounded Spiritual Energy Bureau Special Agents.

A full ten seconds passed before the dead silence was broken.

“Wh... what was that just now?” a Special Agent's voice trembled, almost unable to speak normally.

“Red... red lines... so many red lines, and then... all the Demonic Evils and Ghostly Creatures were chopped into minced meat...”

“Who... who saved us? I didn't even see the person's figure clearly!”

“Too fast! Too strong! This is simply a miracle!”

“Are we... are we really saved? This isn't a dream, is it?”

Just as everyone was filled with suspicion and uncertainty, discussing among themselves,

Both grateful for surviving the ordeal and feeling incredibly bewildered and shocked by everything that had just happened—

“Beep beep beep!”

The communicator at the captain's waist suddenly rang urgently; it was a highest-priority message from headquarters.

The captain jolted and quickly connected.

From the other end of the communicator came the voice of the headquarters' dispatcher, incredibly agitated and even filled with excitement:

“All defensive line commanders on the outskirts of Shanyin City, please respond if you hear this! This is Shanyin City Spiritual Energy Bureau Headquarters!”

“Latest bulletin! Special Commissioner Chen from the Donghai City Psionic Bureau has come to support us in this ‘Night Parade of a Hundred Demons’ crisis!”

“Special Commissioner Chen has the highest operational authority. Wherever he goes, all units must cooperate fully and must not interfere!”

“Repeat, Special Commissioner Chen is here!”

“All Special Agents, cooperate fully and prepare for the aftermath!”

The voice from the communicator clearly reached the ears of every surviving Special Agent.

The entire pass fell into a brief, dead silence once again.

Immediately following was an even more intense uproar, like a volcanic eruption!

“Special Commissioner Chen?! It's that Special Commissioner Chen?!”

“My God! So it was the god of war of donghai! No wonder... no wonder he's so strong!”

“The legends are all true! No! The legends all underestimated him!”

“With a wave of his hand, Fifth-Rank Demonic Evils are reduced to ashes... this... this is no longer something a human can do!”

“We're saved! Shanyin City is saved!”
