253: A soul-capturing dragon's roar! Suppressing the entire arena!

Obviously, they had seized the Spiritual Energy Bureau's weakness—these hostages!

Thus, they attempted to use the lives of these hostages as leverage to trade for a sliver of survival!

For a moment, the atmosphere on the scene became tense to the extreme!

The expressions of Wang Tieshan, Director of the Luoxia City Spirit Energy Bureau and all the Special Agents became extremely grim!

Their colleagues had been possessed.

Moreover, it was a deep possession; the remnant Souls of the Demonic Evils were almost intertwined with the Souls of the hosts!

Under these circumstances, forcibly exorcising or attacking would very likely cause severe trauma to the hosts' Souls or even lead to their annihilation!

The difficulty of the rescue was immense!

For a while, everyone froze, not daring to act rashly!

"Bastards! You damn Demonic Evils! Let them go!" The Special Agents' eyes were nearly bursting with rage, yet they were helpless.

The Medical team members were also at a loss, sweating profusely with anxiety.

The scene fell into an extremely oppressive stalemate.

Relying on the hostages, the Demonic Evils acted as if they were crazed, while the Spiritual Energy Bureau's side was wary of collateral damage, caught in a dilemma.

However, at this moment of extreme tension—

"Roar—!!!!!"

A terrifying Dragon roar, seemingly from the primordial era, majestic and vast, struck directly at the depths of the Soul and suddenly erupted!

It was Chen Nian; he had activated the Soul-Capturing Dragon Roar!

Invisible sound waves, mixed with incomparably powerful mental shockwaves, like a physical tsunami, instantly swept over those dozen or so possessed Special Agents!

These sound waves were not aimed at the physical body but acted directly on the Soul Origin!

"Arghhhhh—!!!"

The dozen or so remnant Souls of the Demonic Evils screamed in agony, a sound not even human, as if a red-hot branding iron had been ruthlessly pressed against the most fragile part of their Souls!

They felt as if their remnant Souls had been thrown into a meat grinder, being crazily torn and crushed by countless invisible sharp teeth!

The state of possession instantly became extremely unstable, and their control over the bodies plummeted!

The bodies of those dozen or so possessed Special Agents twitched violently, black evil energy rolling across their faces and features twisting as they clutched their heads and collapsed to their knees in pain!

The remnant Souls of the Demonic Evils immediately let out cries of disbelief, repeatedly begging for mercy.

"No... impossible... such a powerful Soul attack..."

"What power is this? I actually can't control this physical body anymore!"

"Aaaah! My Soul hurts so much!!"

"No, stop, quickly stop, I'm going to die!"

Chen Nian slowly walked up to them, looking down from a height with a tone as contemptuous as if looking at ants:

"You can't even withstand the sound waves of ten percent of my power, yet you want to try and threaten someone?"

"Trash is just trash; even your threats are laughable."

With a mere wave of his hand, an even more powerful mental shockwave erupted.

"Pfft—!"

Under the continuous Soul-crushing pressure of the Soul-Capturing Dragon Roar...

Those dozen or so remnant Souls of the Demonic Evils could no longer maintain their state of possession and were suddenly forced out of the hosts' bodies!

They turned into several streaks of distorted, dim black smoke filled with fear, attempting to flee in all directions!

"Trying to run?"

Chen Nian's gaze turned cold; he didn't even bother using a skill, simply waving his hand casually!

"Buzz—!"

A vast and majestic surge of golden spiritual energy, like an invisible wall, instantly enveloped and compressed those dozen or so remnant Souls attempting to escape!

"No!!!"

In screams of despair, those dozen or so remnant Souls were crushed like bubbles by an invisible giant hand, instantly annihilating and turning into the purest energy particles, dissipating into the air.

【Ding! Killed a Fourth-Tier Fiend, obtained 5,823 points!】

【Ding! Killed a Fourth-Tier Fiend, obtained 6,923 points!】

【Ding! Killed a Fourth-Tier Fiend, obtained 7,965 points!】

...The System's notification sounds rang out one after another.

As for the dozen or so possessed Special Agents, the moment the Demonic Evils left their bodies, they went limp and fell completely unconscious.

However, their complexions were returning to normal at a speed visible to the naked eye, and their breathing became steady.

Quiet!

A deathly silence!

Inside the entire Altar hall, everyone watched this scene in stunned silence.

From the Demonic Evils launching their attack, to Chen Nian taking action, to the Demonic Evils being forced out and instantly killed.

The entire process seemed complex, but it actually happened in a flash, lasting only a few short seconds from start to finish!

The "Deep demonic possession" crisis, which had troubled countless elites of the Spiritual Energy Bureau and was considered one of the most difficult situations... was just... effortlessly... resolved?

Wang Tieshan, Director of the Luoxia City Spirit Energy Bureau and all the Special Agents were dazed.

Their minds were blank.

That's... it?

Just a moment ago, they were still frantic and hesitant about how to rescue their comrades.

In the end, Special Commissioner Chen just waved his hand.

And along with it, the exorcism, Soul destruction, and rescue... were all taken care of?!

After a brief silence, there were even more intense exclamations and wild joy, like a volcanic eruption!

"My god! It's resolved just like that?! Special Commissioner Chen is truly so reassuring!"

"It was a Soul attack! It directly shattered the remnant Souls of the Demonic Evils! So overbearing! So precise!"

"Instakill! Another instakill! Even the deeply possessed Demonic Evils had no power to resist!"

"Miraculous! It's simply miraculous! Is Special Commissioner Chen's Soul Domain actually powerful to this extent?!"

"Great! The Captain and the others are saved! *Sob sob*..."

The relief of surviving a disaster, the shock at his formidable power, the awe of Chen Nian's precise control... various emotions intertwined, bringing everyone's admiration for Chen Nian to its peak!

Wang Tieshan, Director of the Luoxia City Spirit Energy Bureau was even more excited, trembling all over as he saluted Chen Nian again, his voice choking:

"Special Commissioner Chen! You've saved us again! We truly have no way to repay you!"

Chen Nian, however, just waved his hand casually, as if he had done something insignificant:

"Enough, hurry up and save the people. Their Souls are wounded and they need rest."

His gaze swept over the messy ruins of the altar as he instructed Wang Tieshan, Director of the Luoxia City Spirit Energy Bureau:

"By the way, this place is an important stronghold of the Gloomy Abyss; there might be some spatial traces or Evil energy creations left behind."

"After you've dealt with the wounded, search the area thoroughly."

"Report any abnormal findings to the General Bureau immediately, without fail."

Upon hearing this, Wang Tieshan, Director of the Luoxia City Spirit Energy Bureau immediately snapped into action, straightening his posture and responding loudly:

"Yes! Special Commissioner Chen! Please rest assured! We will definitely conduct a thorough search and leave no hidden dangers!"

Chen Nian nodded, saying no more.

The purpose of his trip had been more than accomplished; points, skills, and clues were all in hand, so there was no need to stay.

With a flash of blood-red light, the Blood Fiend Incarnation was activated.

Chen Nian transformed into a streak of light, instantly disappearing into the depths of the Demon cave and speeding towards Donghai City.

It wasn't until Chen Nian's figure completely vanished into the horizon that the people inside the altar slowly came back to their senses.

They looked in the direction where Chen Nian had disappeared, then looked at the Demon cave before them that had been completely leveled by one man's power.

People's faces were filled with endless awe and admiration.

"Coming and going like the wind, leveling a Demon cave, and saving people from peril—Special Commissioner Chen is truly a Divine Being!" an old Special Agent murmured to himself, his eyes full of reverence.

"Having Special Commissioner Chen here is truly a blessing for our Dragon Kingdom!" Wang Tieshan, Director of the Luoxia City Spirit Energy Bureau said solemnly, looking at the sky.

"Yes, he's truly so reliable!" Everyone chimed in, their hearts filled with pride and peace of mind.

At this moment, Chen Nian had already become a god-like existence in their hearts!
