264: I can't block it even with a flick of my finger, so don't blame me.

Seeing this, the entire scene erupted in shock!

Everyone was stunned by this sudden turn of events, their minds going completely blank as they stood frozen like wooden chickens!

This was the supreme leader of the Shadow Worship Cult in Jiangyuan City, the Shadow Priest Mo Sang, whose strength was at the Sixth-Tier!

He wielded the Authority of Shadows, making him mysterious and unpredictable.

His Shadow Techniques were superb, making him an extremely dangerous individual on the Spiritual Energy Bureau's records!

And yet, he was just swatted like a fly by someone's casual move, instantly killed?!

Not to mention, they were currently in the middle of a confrontation and negotiation phase!

The Spiritual Energy Bureau was still issuing warnings according to procedure.

As it turned out, someone was so lacking in martial ethics that they attacked without saying a word.

Furthermore, it was such a ruthless and decisive one-hit kill!

Just who on earth was this?!

Was this person from the Spiritual Energy Bureau?

When did they become so decisive in killing and so prone to playing outside the rules?!

The evil cultivators immediately exploded into a frenzy, their terrified discussions rising like a tide:

"Lord Priest! Lord Priest has been killed?!"

"How is that possible?! One move? Just one move?! He didn't even have time to react?!"

"Someone from the Spiritual Energy Bureau? No! They were clearly still shouting warnings!"

"A sneak attack! This is a blatant sneak attack! Spiritual Energy Bureau, have you no shame?!"

Extreme fear and disbelief made these evil cultivators incoherent, filled with both rage and horror.

However, it wasn't just those evil cultivators.

Even the people from the Spiritual Energy Bureau were completely bewildered at this moment, unable to grasp the situation at all.

The team leader and his Special Agents all had their eyes wide open.

They looked at the pile of still-warm flesh and blood on the ground, then looked up at the figure above the workshop with suspicion and uncertainty.

Their brains had also completely crashed from trying to process this scene that far exceeded their expectations.

What happened?

Why did they just attack without saying a word?

Weren't they still shouting warnings?

Although they knew the possibility of a peaceful resolution with these fanatical cultists was slim to none.

They still had to go through the process to try and gather more intelligence, or at least stabilize the opponent to create better conditions for a possible assault.

And now, someone suddenly jumped out and instantly killed the enemy leader without a word?!

This was simply too straightforward and efficient!

Not to mention, that was the Shadow Priest Mo Sang!

A Sixth-Tier powerhouse, a notorious existence in the entire spiritual energy circle!

To be instantly killed in one move just like that?!

This was too ridiculous! Too appalling!

"Cap... Captain... what's going on?" a young Special Agent asked in a trembling, low voice.

The captain was also full of confusion and shock.

He swallowed hard and lowered his voice:

"I... I don't know either. Headquarters didn't notify us of any other backup!"

While the members of the Spiritual Energy Bureau were still in a state of extreme shock and doubt, a few people on the evil cultivators' side were the first to snap back to their senses.

They were several evil cultivators with powerful Auras who looked like leaders or Cadres.

They broke free from their extreme horror.

In its place was incomparable rage!

"Bastard! You coward hiding in the shadows!" a burly evil cultivator roared, his body surging with Evil Energy.

"How dare you sneak attack and kill Priest Mo Sang! Who exactly are you?!" another thin and tall evil cultivator questioned shrilly, his eyes flashing with malicious light.

"Spiritual Energy Bureau! How can you be so despicable! Is this your credibility?!" a female evil cultivator with a piercing voice also pointed her finger at the Spiritual Energy Bureau.

Hearing this, the Spiritual Energy Bureau members suddenly felt like they were being roasted over a fire, feeling both embarrassed and helpless.

What the hell does this have to do with us?

We're also completely bewildered, okay?!

However, Chen Nian, who was at the center of the storm, didn't care at all about the accusations and questions below.

He even let out a sneer of extreme contempt.

"Sneak attack?"

His voice clearly reached everyone's ears, carrying unabashed mockery.

"Trash like you isn't even worthy of me using a sneak attack."

"It's clearly because you're too useless and your skills are inferior; you couldn't even block me moving a finger. You can't blame me for that."

"If you want to blame something, blame yourselves for being born into the wrong life, believing in the wrong god, and insisting on jumping around in front of me."

As soon as these words were spoken, those few evil cultivator Cadres were so angry their heads were practically smoking, and they flew into a rage!

"Arrogant!"

"What boastful talk! Just now was merely a lapse in judgment by the Lord Priest, allowing a rat like you to succeed with a sneak attack!"

"Let's attack together! Avenge the Lord Priest! No matter how strong he is, he's only one person!"

"That's right! We have the numbers! We'll crush him with our sheer force! Just now was definitely a coincidence!"

"Kill him! Use his blood as a sacrifice for the Priest!"

Driven by fury and a sense of wishful thinking, these few evil cultivator Cadres, whose strengths had all reached the Fifth-Tier, erupted simultaneously!

The burly man's arm muscles bulged as shadow energy condensed into two massive Black Battle-Axes, which he swung with an Aura that seemed to tear through everything toward the source of the voice!

The thin and tall evil cultivator's body flickered like a ghost as his hands repeatedly flicked, instantly unleashing dozens of Shadow Needles as fine as cow hair, yet containing poisonous and corrosive energy!

The female evil cultivator let out a sharp hiss, launching a powerful mental shock mixed with eerie soundwaves meant to disturb the mind!

Other evil cultivators also surged with Evil Energy, sending various Shadow Tentacles, Corrosive Black Mists, Bone Darts, and other attacks flooding toward the upper part of the workshop like a tide!

Facing this overwhelming joint attack that could instantly wound or even kill any Sixth-Tier powerhouse, Chen Nian, hidden in the shadows, only let out another disdainful chuckle.

"Heh, you still don't believe me when I call you trash."

He didn't even take any defensive posture; he simply moved his mind.

Buzz—!

A thin layer of Golden Light Film, refined to the extreme and radiating Divine Might, instantly appeared around him like an absolute barrier.

Boom boom boom boom boom—!!!!!

The dense attacks bombarded the Golden Light Film like a violent storm!

Deafening explosions merged into one, and the blinding evil light illuminated the entire workshop like a realm of ghosts!

However—

When the light faded and all the attacks dissipated into nothingness.

The thin layer of Golden Light Film remained as steady as Mount Tai, without even the slightest ripple!

It was as if that world-destroying attack just now had merely been a breeze brushing over a hillside!

"What?!"

"This is impossible!!"

"Our combined attack... couldn't even break through his defense?!"

The evil cultivators' pupils shrank, and they let out screams of disbelief!

The members of the Spiritual Energy Bureau were also pale with horror, the sound of gasping for air rising one after another!

This was a joint attack from several Fifth-Tier powerhouses and dozens of evil cultivators!

And it was blocked so nonchalantly?!

This defensive power was simply inconceivable!

However, Chen Nian didn't give them any time to be shocked.

"Played enough?"

"Now, it's my turn."

Before his voice had even faded, Chen Nian simply held his fingers together like a sword.

He casually pointed through the air toward those horrified evil cultivator Cadres below!

Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!

Their bodies exploded violently!

In an instant, blood splattered and flesh flew everywhere!

They couldn't even manage a scream before being directly blown into several puddles of shredded meat!

[Ding! Killed a Fifth-Tier Evil Cultivator, gained 15,222 points!]

[Ding! Killed a Fifth-Tier Evil Cultivator, gained 15,888 points!]

[Ding! Killed a Fifth-Tier Evil Cultivator, gained 16,891 points!]

...The System's notification sounds rang out clearly.

Instant kill!

It was still a casual, nonchalant instant kill with no suspense!

If the instant kill of Mo Sang just now could be suspected as a sneak attack.

Then now, it was in full view of everyone.

After head-on resisting the opponent's full-strength attack, he casually counterattacked and instantly killed three Fifth-Tier Evil Cultivators!

This gap in strength was already large enough to cause despair!

Silence!

A deathly silence once again enveloped the entire workshop!

The remaining evil cultivators looked at the puddles of shredded meat on the ground, then at the figure on the ceiling that seemed to devour everything.

Extreme fear, like a cold venomous snake, instantly wrapped around their hearts and froze their blood!

They couldn't even muster the thought of running away!

The members of the Spiritual Energy Bureau were also once again stunned into place, their mouths hanging open wide enough to fit an egg.

Just what level of existence was this?!

Killing Fifth-Tiers like slaughtering dogs?!

Meanwhile, Chen Nian's expression was calm, as if he had only done a trivial little thing.
