239: The extreme contrast!

Beside him, Zhao Lei, Wang Meng, and Li Hao, who had just survived the ordeal, witnessed the entire slaughter—bloody, violent, and efficient to the extreme.

They stood frozen in place like three clay statues, their minds completely blank.

Their faces were filled with extreme shock, the relief of surviving, and an indescribable fear that emanated from the depths of their Souls!

This was a fear of absolute power!

A fear of this man before them, who appeared calm but was in fact like a demon god!

Their eyes were wide and round, their pupils contracting violently from the sheer shock.

Saved?

They were indeed saved.

That demon-god-like man had slaughtered dozens of fierce Demonic Evils, including three powerful Rank 6 leaders, with overwhelming force in just a minute or two!

The ruthlessness of his methods, the high efficiency, and the bloodiness of the scene completely exceeded their understanding of the word "combat"!

This wasn't combat at all!

This was a one-sided, breathtakingly efficient massacre!

It was the absolute crushing of ants by a powerhouse!

Just a moment ago, they were ecstatic about escaping death.

But now, looking at the purgatory-like scene before them and smelling the nauseating, thick stench of blood...

A cold fear, rooted in biological instinct, quietly coiled around their hearts like a venomous snake.

This man... is he really here to save us?

Would he get carried away with the killing and finish them off as well...? This thought rose like a specter in their minds, making them feel as if they had fallen into an ice cellar, their hands and feet turning cold!

However, what they feared most came to pass.

That nightmare-like figure slowly turned around.

Chen Nian's gaze calmly swept over the three of them, pausing for a moment on their pale faces filled with fear.

There was no expression on his face; he showed neither the excitement of slaughter nor any emotion regarding the carnage before him.

It was as if the bloody massacre just now had truly been nothing more than casually brushing dust off his sleeve.

He spoke, his voice flat, devoid of any emotional fluctuation: "You three, how are you? Are you alright?"

!!!

A simple question, yet it exploded like a thunderclap in the minds of the three Special Agents!

Zhao Lei, Wang Meng, and Li Hao shuddered violently, nearly collapsing to the ground!

"I-I'm fine! We're fine!" Zhao Lei was the first to react, answering almost reflexively.

He didn't dare to be slow, fearing that a delayed response would bring about disaster.

Wang Meng also hurriedly nodded, echoing incoherently: "Yes, yes, yes! Thank you... thank you for saving our lives, My Lord! We... we are very well!"

Li Hao was even more terrified, his face as white as paper and his lips trembling. He wanted to give thanks, but he couldn't even utter a complete sentence, his posture humble to the extreme.

Seeing their reaction, which was like that of startled rabbits...

Chen Nian didn't pay it much mind, only saying faintly:

"Good, as long as you're fine."

"However, you'd better not move around. Reinforcements will arrive soon."

His words couldn't be called gentle.

But in this sea of corpses and blood, this hellish environment, and right after experiencing a bloody massacre...

These few simple words seemed to carry a strange warmth.

Like an imperceptible but real warm current, they quietly seeped into the hearts of the three Special Agents, which had been filled with fear and cold.

The ultimate contrast!

A terrifying existence who just moments ago was like a descending demon god, cold and ruthless, exterminating all living things with a wave of his hand... was now actually concerned about them?

This intense contrast left Zhao Lei and the others stunned.

They stared blankly at Chen Nian, their brains unable to process the shift.

The fear in their hearts still existed, but that bone-chilling sensation seemed to have dissipated just a tiny bit?

He doesn't seem to have any intention of killing us?

He really is here to save us?

Just then—

Tap, tap, tap, tap—!

A series of hurried and messy footsteps, accompanied by anxious shouts, quickly approached from the distance!

It was the Luoxia City Spirit Energy Bureau support team led by Director Wang Tieshan, finally arriving after following the sounds of battle!

When Wang Tieshan and the others rushed into the valley and saw the scene before them, everyone froze instantly, the sound of gasping rising one after another!

"My god... what... what happened here?!" a Special Agent cried out, his face turning pale.

On the scorched ground, thick dark-red blood and unidentifiable mangled limbs were everywhere.

Broken bones and shattered organs could be seen all over, and some places were even emitting wisps of smoke.

The entire scene was like a scroll of Hell, shocking to behold.

They couldn't imagine how Special Commissioner Chen had achieved such terrifying results in such a short amount of time!

Wang Tieshan was also deeply shaken, but he was the Director, after all.

He forced down the horror in his heart and quickly locked his gaze onto the three wretched figures in the pool of blood.

"Quick! Medical team! Rescue the wounded!" Wang Tieshan roared at the top of his lungs.

The medical staff finally snapped out of their shock and rushed forward with frantic yet high efficiency.

They quickly checked the injuries of Zhao Lei and the others, performing emergency treatment and stabilizing their spiritual power.

Chen Nian nodded and turned his gaze deeper into the valley, toward the direction where the evil energy was most concentrated.

"The small fry here have been cleared, but the core of the demon den is still deep inside."

"I'll go in to take a look and thoroughly deal with the things inside."

"After you've handled the wounded, follow me to handle the cleanup and security."

His tone was flat, yet it carried an unquestionable decisiveness.

"Yes! We guarantee the mission will be completed!" Wang Tieshan saluted again, his tone resolute.

Chen Nian said no more, a flash of blood-red light appearing around him.

Blood Fiend Incarnation, activate!

The next moment, he turned into a streak of light that tore through the sky, instantly disappearing into the deep, eerie depths of the valley.

Zhao Lei, Wang Meng, and Li Hao watched the direction where Chen Nian had disappeared, their faces filled with complex and unspeakable emotions.

The relief of surviving, the awe of powerful strength, and an indescribable warmth.

Zhao Lei couldn't help but look at Wang Tieshan and ask in a raspy voice: "Director, who is he? Is he the support sent by the General Bureau?"

Wang Tieshan looked at the three of them, a look of profound respect appearing on his face as he said in a deep voice:

"He isn't reinforcement from the General Bureau; he is Special Commissioner Chen of the Donghai City Psionic Bureau!"

Hearing this, the three of them cried out almost simultaneously, their eyes instantly going round:

"What?!"

"He's Special Commissioner Chen?!"

"That legendary god of war of donghai?!"

They had naturally heard many legends about Chen Nian.

Single-handedly wiping out the Evil God Cult, suppressing and killing the Abyssal Sea Dark Dragon with one hand, and even frontally defeating the descent of an Evil God... every feat was like a myth circulating within the Spiritual Energy Bureau.

They knew Special Commissioner Chen was strong—strong beyond common sense.

But it wasn't until today, until they saw it with their own eyes, that they truly understood just how strong he was!

That simply wasn't power a human could possess!

That was a deity walking among mortals!

An extremely complex emotion surged within their hearts.

An indescribable admiration and worship quietly sprouted in their hearts.

"So... he's Special Commissioner Chen..." Li Hao murmured to himself, his eyes shining with the light of worship.

Wang Meng nodded heavily and clenched his fists: "I will remember this kindness!"

Zhao Lei gazed in the direction where Chen Nian had disappeared, his eyes filled with determination and worship: "One day, I will become as strong as Special Commissioner Chen. At the very least, I must be worthy of the life he saved today!"

They knew that today's experience would be forever etched into the depths of their Souls.

And the figure of that demon-god-like Special Commissioner Chen would also become the light they would look up to and follow for the rest of their lives.
