20: Kill! The Heart-Eating Demon!

Everyone's gaze was focused on the figure that had broken the deadlock.

The Spiritual Energy Bureau Agents clearly saw the badge pinned to the newcomer's chest.

That was the symbol of a Spiritual Energy Bureau Agent!

But immediately following that, the relief and excitement on their faces instantly turned into an overwhelming shock.

"A... First-Level Agent?!"

"Am I seeing this right? That badge belongs to a First-Level Agent!"

"This is a fucking First-Level?!"

A First-Level Agent destroyed the Heart-Devouring Old Demon's Heart-Devouring Demon Silk?!

How is that possible!!

These agents, who were in the Third-Stage Core Condensation Realm, were helpless against these blood silks. How could a First-Level Agent do this?

This person's strength was at least an order of magnitude higher than theirs!

This is a fucking First-Level?!

Is this for real?

However, when Wang Hu saw the newcomer's face clearly, his pupils suddenly contracted to their limit.

It was him!

Chen Nian!

Wang Hu had a very deep impression of this newcomer.

He had seen the surveillance footage of the Evil Cultivator hijacking the supermarket earlier.

At that time, Chen Nian had already displayed an extremely terrifying power.

Even though he was just a newly Awakened rookie, he could tear apart an Evil Cultivator with his bare hands.

Later, he even heard that Chen Nian had achieved unprecedented double perfect scores on the Newcomer Test!

This was a record without precedent or successor in the entire history of the Spiritual Energy Bureau!

Yes, Wang Hu admitted he was strong, a peerless Genius.

But the situation before them was a completely different concept from a mere First-Stage Evil Cultivator or a Newcomer Test!

This was a real, extremely brutal, and documented powerful Demonic Evil!

It was the Heart-Devouring Old Demon, who made even so many Third-Stage Core Condensation Realm agents feel despair when joining forces!

He, a First-Stage Awakening Realm newcomer who had only Awakened two days ago, could actually shatter the Heart-Devouring Old Demon's blood silks so easily!

How is that possible?!

Was it that he hadn't used his full strength before?

Or had he become even stronger in just these two short days?

Whichever possibility it was, Wang Hu's mind was severely impacted.

His perception of Chen Nian was completely overturned at this moment and then reshaped.

It wasn't just the people from the Spiritual Energy Bureau.

On the other side, those Evil Cultivators also had looks of disbelief.

"What's the situation? This is just a kid..."

They originally thought that the person who could break Lord Heart-Devourer's demon silk must be some hidden expert from the Spiritual Energy Bureau, at least a veteran powerhouse in their thirties or forties.

As it turned out, the one who came was actually a young man who looked no older than twenty?

So young and already this powerful?

When did the Spiritual Energy Bureau recruit such a monster!

If he were allowed to grow, how terrifying would he be in the future?

They didn't even dare to think further!

Unlike the shock of the crowd, the Heart-Devouring Old Demon's face was instantly covered in fury and ferocity after seeing Chen Nian's appearance.

It was as if having his attack broken by such a wet-behind-the-ears brat was a monumental humiliation.

"Ignorant brat!"

He let out a sharp roar.

"Go to hell!"

Before his voice finished, he violently swung his arm!

Whish—!

Demonic Qi several times denser than before erupted!

Thousands of even more solid, blood-red silk threads shot out like a storm of pear blossoms, covering the sky as they surged toward Chen Nian's direction!

Every blood silk carried a sharp sound of breaking air; everywhere they passed, even the air was sliced open.

The surrounding Evil Cultivators also reacted instantly, immediately commanding the nearby Ghouls to launch a general offensive.

"Roar—!"

For a moment, a killing net woven from countless blood silks, mixed with a large number of foul-smelling Ghouls, rapidly attacked Chen Nian from all directions.

That formation looked as if it wanted to thoroughly crush him into meat paste!

Seeing this scene, Wang Hu and the others' hearts instantly leaped into their throats.

Such a terrifying composite attack, even in their Peak state, would likely have crushed them directly into fragments.

Could this ridiculously strong newcomer block it?

Everyone's faces were filled with shock and worry, staring intently at the center of the battlefield.

However, facing this scalp-numbing certain-death situation.

Chen Nian only gave a contemptuous smile.

He didn't dodge.

Nor did he evade.

In the next second, he even charged toward the sky full of blood silks and the tide of corpses!

“Bang! Bang! Bang!”

Those blood silks, capable of cutting metal and stone, frantically stabbed into the ground and slashed at the walls, kicking up large clouds of rubble and dust, leaving behind terrifying deep marks.

However, when these blood silks slashed at Chen Nian, a bizarre scene occurred.

Chen Nian continuously swung his fists.

One punch!

One punch!

And another punch!

Every punch precisely hit those blood silks that were shooting toward him.

“Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang!”

A series of dense metallic clashing sounds, like a machine gun firing, erupted at the scene.

Large bursts of sparks frantically sprayed out where his fist and the blood silks collided.

Those indestructible blood silks couldn't even wound him in the slightest!

As for those Ghouls, they couldn't even be considered cannon fodder.

They couldn't even get close to Chen Nian's body before they were sliced into countless pieces by the Heart-Devouring Old Demon's own indiscriminate blood silk attacks.

Even if a few fish occasionally slipped through the net and luckily rushed to his front.

What awaited them was only a seemingly unremarkable punch.

And then.

“Bang—!”

The entire Ghoul instantly exploded into a dense cloud of blood mist, not even leaving behind a single complete bone.

Everyone watched this scene in a daze.

The entire battlefield seemed to have become a stage for Chen Nian alone.

Within that storm of blood, he strolled leisurely, his punches striking like Dragons.

"Such... such terrifying power..."

"The Heart-Devouring Old Demon actually looks so weak in front of him..."

"When did such a terrifying newcomer join our bureau?"

"Too strong! Is this really the combat power of a First-Level Agent? When he reaches the Third-Stage, how terrifying will he be? I simply can't imagine!"

The Spiritual Energy Bureau Agents had completely lost their ability to think, only able to subconsciously let out gasps of admiration.

And those Evil Cultivators were even more scared, their Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering.

"How is it possible! Lord Heart-Devourer's attacks have no effect on him at all!"

"Those Ghouls can't even last one punch in front of him!"

"His spiritual energy aura is clearly only at the First-Stage Awakening Realm! Why... why does he have such terrifying power?!"

For a time, an atmosphere of fear and shock spread frantically throughout the Abandoned Industrial Area.

Looking at the figure who was unscathed by his attacks and was constantly closing in on him.

A look of fear finally appeared on the Heart-Devouring Old Demon's wrinkled face.

Completely useless!

His attacks were actually completely useless against this kid!

What kind of monster is this!

In the next second.

Before he could react from his shock, Chen Nian's figure had appeared before him like a ghost.

The Heart-Devouring Old Demon's eyes instantly widened, his pupils reflecting that young and calm face, which was filled with disbelief.

He only saw Chen Nian give a contemptuous smile.

Immediately after.

A punch was thrown.

Mountain-Collapsing Fist, activated!

To be safe, this time, Chen Nian also activated the "Prison Suppressing Divine Body" and the full power of his level 30 Awakening Realm!

“Boom—!”

An unprecedented loud noise, like a sudden clap of thunder, exploded!

Under the gazes of everyone who was shocked to the point of numbness.

In the Heart-Devouring Old Demon's eyes, which were full of horror and incomprehension.

His body, along with the Demonic Qi swirling around him, was directly blown apart by this punch!

“Boom—!”

A powerful impact force erupted.

The Heart-Devouring Old Demon's figure had completely disappeared from the scene.

For a moment, the entire scene was silent, so quiet that a pin drop could be heard.

And in Chen Nian's mind, the System's crisp announcement also sounded.

【Ding! Killed Third-Stage Peak Heart-Devouring Old Demon, obtained 1000 points.】

【Ding! Kill mission completed!】
