228: Flashy and impractical, just break it down.

As the sky full of blood rain gradually subsided.

Dark red filthy blood and shattered flesh dyed the charred mountainside into a shocking and terrifying scene.

The entire battlefield was shrouded in a deathly silence.

The members of the Luoxia City Psionic Bureau were frozen in place like statues.

Their eyes were fixed on the figure suspended in the air, their brains still unable to recover from the subversive scene they had just witnessed.

That army of Demonic Evils was enough to cause the entire Luoxia City to fall.

Yet, simply because of the other party's casual clenching of a fist, they were crushed like ants by an invisible giant hand, instantly turning into a mist of blood.

This power was truly too terrifying!

"Di-Director..." Vice Captain Wang Gang's voice carried an uncontrollable tremble.

He pinched his thigh hard, and the pain told him this wasn't an illusion: "We... were we saved?"

Wang Tieshan also recovered from that extreme shock.

He swallowed hard, his Adam's apple bobbing violently.

"What else!"

As the Director of the Luoxia City Psionic Bureau, he had experienced many battles and seen many experts.

But the scene before him completely overturned his understanding of the word "power."

At that moment, he suddenly remembered.

Not long ago, he had received an emergency communication from the Donghai City Psionic Bureau.

It contained only a short sentence: [Special Commissioner Chen has set out to provide support; please cooperate with all his actions.]

Special Commissioner Chen... Wang Tieshan's heart skipped a beat, and a thought flashed through his mind like lightning.

He forcibly suppressed the turbulent waves in his heart, looked up at the figure in the sky, and asked cautiously and respectfully:

"Ex... Excuse me..."

"Are you Special Commissioner Chen from Donghai City?"

It was only then that Chen Nian withdrew his gaze, looked down at Wang Tieshan, and nodded.

"Yes, it's me," he responded faintly, his figure slowly descending from the air.

His feet stepped lightly onto the blood-stained ground, yet they remained pristine and untouched by dust.

Upon receiving confirmation, Wang Tieshan felt a surge of hot blood rush to his head.

He almost instinctively straightened his body and gave an incomparably standard military salute with all his strength:

"Wang Tieshan, Director of the Luoxia City Psionic Bureau, greets Special Commissioner Chen!"

"Thank you very much for your timely intervention. If it weren't for you, our entire defensive line..."

"No, the entire Luoxia City would probably have already..."

His voice choked up, and he couldn't finish the rest of his sentence.

Only someone who had personally experienced that kind of despair could understand how profound the relief was at this moment.

However, Chen Nian simply waved his hand casually, interrupting his words of gratitude: "No need."

He looked up, once again toward the main peak of Luoxia Mountain, and asked faintly: "What is the situation now? Tell me in detail."

Only then did the other Special Agents around them wake up as if from a dream, and a burst of unbelievable exclamations erupted.

"Special Commissioner Chen? It's really that Special Commissioner Chen?!"

"My god! The god of war of donghai! The legendary god of war of donghai actually came to save us?!"

"No wonder... no wonder he's so strong! That move just now was like a god descending to earth!"

"I heard that he wiped out the Evil God Cult before and even killed an Evil God..."

"Heavens, those rumors were actually true!"

"No, the rumors still underestimated him! You only know how terrifying he is when you see it with your own eyes!"

For a moment, exclamations and discussions rose and fell at the scene.

Everyone's face was filled with excitement, worship, and the wild joy of surviving a disaster.

Many of them had only heard the name "Special Commissioner Chen" in internal briefings and on the internet before.

They knew his strength was unfathomable and that he was one of the top experts in the Spiritual Energy General Bureau.

But rumors were rumors after all.

It was not until they saw it with their own eyes that they truly understood the weight of the word "unfathomable."

At this point, a young Special Agent suddenly asked in a low, puzzled voice:

"But... didn't we ask the Provincial Capital and the Capital General Bureau for help first?"

"Also, the Provincial Capital is closer to us. How is it that Special Commissioner Chen from Donghai City arrived first?"

An old team member next to him slapped him hard and lowered his voice:

"You don't understand, do you?"

"For an existence like Special Commissioner Chen, is distance still an issue?"

Hearing this, there was a sudden clamor of agreement at the scene.

The looks people directed toward Chen Nian became even more reverent.

However, Chen Nian turned a deaf ear to the surrounding discussions, simply looking at Wang Tieshan, waiting for his report.

Wang Tieshan did not dare to delay in the slightest. He quickly collected his thoughts and reported clearly and rapidly:

"Reporting to Special Commissioner Chen! The situation is as follows—"

He pointed toward the main peak of Luoxia Mountain:

"About six hours ago, we monitored abnormal spatial fluctuations deep within Luoxia Mountain. We initially judged it to be a 'suspected Demon Cave' with an energy Rank rating of four."

"We immediately organized a reconnaissance team to enter the mountain for investigation and began evacuating the surrounding residents."

"But just one hour ago, that spatial rift vibrated violently without any warning."

"A burst of extremely powerful energy erupted, instantly forming an energy Barrier that covered the entire main peak and the surrounding several kilometers!"

"The Barrier formed too quickly. The four teams currently performing reconnaissance missions in the mountain, totaling twenty-three people, were all swallowed by the Barrier!"

Wang Tieshan's voice carried pain and self-reproach.

"Communication was cut off instantly, all detection signals disappeared, and their life or death is still unknown!"

"We tried various methods to attack the Barrier, but they were all ineffective."

"That Barrier... is sturdy beyond imagination."

Wang Tieshan took a deep breath and continued:

"Just a few minutes before you arrived, a secondary rift split open at the edge of the Barrier, and those Demonic Evils just now poured out from there."

"We speculate that the interior of the Barrier might be connected to a large-scale, high-quality Demon Cave, and those Demonic Evils were just the vanguard."

He looked toward the Barrier, his eyes full of worry:

"The biggest problem now is... our people are still trapped inside, their fate uncertain."

"And the Barrier itself is exceptionally sturdy. We... we have no way."

After listening to Wang Tieshan's report, a flash of understanding crossed Chen Nian's eyes.

A Demon Cave, and a high-quality one at that, indeed met his expectations.

As for the personnel trapped inside.

This was indeed a bit tricky.

They had been trapped inside for so long, and there were so many Demonic Evils in there.

This was likely a grim situation.

His gaze fell on the reddish-black light screen covering the mountains, and his Divine Thought spread out silently, touching the surface of the Barrier.

Buzz—!!

A cold, chaotic energy filled with repulsive force fed back to him.

This Barrier indeed had some tricks; the Evil Energy it contained was extremely pure, and its construction was quite ingenious.

Not only was its defensive power astonishing, but it also seemed to have the effect of isolating the inside from the outside and disrupting space.

No wonder the Luoxia City branch was helpless.

"This Barrier is indeed not simple," Chen Nian said softly.

Hearing this, Wang Tieshan's face showed an "as expected" expression, and he hurriedly added:

"Yes, Special Commissioner Chen!"

"We have already sent the data samples of the Barrier to the General Bureau's technical department."

"We are waiting for further instructions from the General Bureau to see if there is a special cracking solution..."

However, Chen Nian's next words left him and all the Special Agents present stunned.

"However, it's only so-so."

Chen Nian's tone was flat, as if he were evaluating an ordinary handicraft: "Fancy but impractical."

"Wh... what?" Wang Tieshan didn't react for a moment.

"What I mean is—" The corner of Chen Nian's mouth curled into a contemptuous arc.

"Since it's an obstacle, then just break it!"
