231: Still trying to ambush us? Then we'll kill them all!

Hearing this, the hearts of everyone from the Spiritual Energy Bureau skipped a beat!

What does this mean?

Could there be more ambushes around?

However, before they could react, Chen Nian had already struck again!

He spread his arms and gave a casual wave to both sides!

"Shua shua shua shua shua—!!!!!!"

Thousands of Heart-Devouring Demon Silk, finer than human hair yet sharp enough to seemingly slice through space, instantly emerged from thin air!

They were densely packed, like two crimson storms of death.

They rapidly slashed toward the dense forests, rocks, and ground on both sides of the group!

"Chila—!!!"

"Kacha! Kacha! Kacha!"

"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!"

The grating sound of slicing, the loud cracks of breaking trees, and the booming of exploding rocks instantly intertwined into a single cacophony!

Wherever the blood-colored threads passed...

Thick trees were instantly sliced into countless segments as if thrown into an invisible meat grinder, collapsing with a roar!

Hard rocks were easily sliced open, exploding into a cloud of stone dust that splattered everywhere!

The ground was carved with terrifying ravines several feet deep, their edges as smooth as mirrors!

The entire Luoxia Mountain seemed to wail and tremble under this single strike!

Dust soared into the sky, while wood chips and stone fragments shot out in all directions like a torrential rain!

"My God!" The people from the Spiritual Energy Bureau hurriedly raised their shields to block the flying debris, staring in utter horror at the apocalyptic scene.

But what made their scalps tingle even more was—

As trees collapsed, rocks shattered, and shadows were forcibly dispelled... they clearly saw a massive number of hidden Demonic Evils being revealed behind the areas swept by the blood-colored threads, as if by magic!

There were Winged Demons crouching in the shadows of the canopy, Petrification Demons disguised as rocks, Swamp Monsters partially merged into the ground... and even more Demonic Evils of various forms, all without exception emitting a ferocious Aura!

They had been hiding in the dark, perfectly concealed.

However, under Chen Nian's indiscriminate and all-encompassing terrifying attack...

They had nowhere to hide!

At this moment, these Demonic Evils were either already sliced into pieces by the Heart-Devouring Demon Silk, their severed limbs mixed among the fallen trees and rubble...

Or, though they had luckily survived, they were forced to reveal themselves, their faces filled with terror and disbelief.

Their numbers far exceeded the imagination of the Spiritual Energy Bureau's members!

If they had rashly ventured deeper just now...

Without this move from Chen Nian...

They would likely have fallen into a dense ambush long ago, with unthinkable consequences!

"There were... so many in ambush!" Wang Tieshan, Director of the Luoxia City Spirit Energy Bureau, gasped, his back instantly drenched in cold sweat.

"They are all Fourth-Tier and Fifth-Tier elite Demonic Evils; they really were ambushing us!" the Vice Captain's voice trembled.

"Fortunately, we have Special Commissioner Chen..." a young Special Agent muttered, his face full of lingering fear and relief. "Otherwise, we might not have even known how we died..."

However, Chen Nian paid no mind to the relief and fear of the people behind him.

His gaze seemed to penetrate the billowing dust and the lingering Demonic Qi ahead, landing on a place even further away.

He spoke calmly, his voice not loud but carrying a strange penetrating power that echoed in the deathly silent valley:

"You've been watching the show for long enough. Isn't it time to come out?"

Almost the instant his voice fell—

"Roar—!!!"

"Rumble—!!!"

Several incomparably powerful, terrifying Auras mixed with rage and cruelty...

Like sleeping Vicious Beasts suddenly awakening, they violently erupted from the direction of the Main Peak!

Immediately after, the earth trembled!

Several massive and hideous figures smashed through the trees and rocks along the way.

Carrying overwhelming Demonic Qi and killing intent, they boldly appeared in the clearing hundreds of meters in front of Chen Nian!

Leading them were three Demonic Evils with exceptionally terrifying Auras.

Behind these three Seventh-Tier Demons followed over a dozen powerful Demonic Evil leaders of various forms, each also reaching the Peak of the Sixth-Tier!

As soon as they appeared, a terrifying pressure swept out like a tsunami!

The already dense Demonic Qi around them seemed to find a focal point, frantically converging toward them, becoming even more viscous and suffocating!

The people from the Spiritual Energy Bureau suddenly felt as if several mountains were pressing on their chests; their breathing became difficult, and their faces turned pale.

Even the circulation of psionic energy within their bodies became sluggish!

"Se... Seventh-Tier Demon! And there are three of them! Those behind... are all Sixth-Tier as well!" an Special Agent cried out in terror.

This lineup was enough to easily wipe out a city-level Spiritual Energy Bureau branch the size of Luoxia City!

Even the provincial capital's branch would need to be on high alert!

How could they be here?

What kind of terrifying place does this demon cave actually connect to?

At this moment, the leading Demonic Evils spoke in a voice as dull as thunder, filled with tyranny and cruelty:

"No wonder the little brats sent out to keep watch haven't responded at all."

"It seems they were cleaned up by you death-seeking humans."

His eyes swept over Chen Nian and the Spiritual Energy Bureau Agents standing ready behind him. His gaze held a hint of scrutiny, but mostly a condescending disdain.

Another Seventh-Tier Demon chimed in:

"To be able to make it here and kill so many of our subordinates, you have some skill."

"But it ends here. This place has been chosen as territory by the Demon Lord, it's not a place for you lowly humans to enter!"

The other Sixth-Tier Demonic Evil leaders also let out arrogant roars and howls, their Demonic Qi soaring to the sky.

"Did you hear that, humans? If you don't want your Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering, then surrender obediently!"

"Your flesh and blood smell very delicious!"

"Kill them! Offer them to the Demon Lord!"

Facing this terrifying lineup and overwhelming killing intent that would drive any Psionicist to despair...

Although the members of the Spiritual Energy Bureau were incredibly shocked and terrified...

Under the leadership of Wang Tieshan, Director of the Luoxia City Spirit Energy Bureau, they still tightly gripped their weapons and stood behind Chen Nian, assuming a defensive posture ready for a fight to the death.

However, Chen Nian seemed as though he hadn't heard these threats and clamoring at all.

He didn't even bother to look at the three aggressive Seventh-Tier Demons.

His gaze seemed to pass through them, looking deeper toward the Main Peak shrouded in dense evil Qi.

The corners of his mouth slowly curled into a look of extreme contempt and mockery, as if he had heard the most ridiculous joke in the world.

"Demon Lord?"

"Interesting."

He softly repeated the title, the disdain in his tone almost overflowing.

"But, before that..."

Chen Nian's smile became extremely cruel and playful, as if he were looking at a dead object:

"Are you prepared to die?"

"Boom—!!!!!"

As his words fell—

A powerful, overbearing, and magnificent Divine Might, seemingly from the dawn of creation...

...exploded violently from within his body!
