266: They're finished now that they've offended Special Envoy Chen.

Inside the workshop, there was a deathly silence.

A thick, inseparable stench of blood, mixed with the foul odor of Evil Energy, filled every inch of space like a physical substance.

On the ground, thick dark-red blood had almost pooled into small streams, flowing slowly.

Shattered internal organs, broken bones, and twisted limbs were everywhere, turning the entire abandoned workshop into a veritable Shura slaughterhouse.

The Spiritual Energy Bureau Agents remained frozen in place.

They looked at this Hell-like tragedy.

Then they looked at the figure floating in mid-air, with fluttering clothes and not a speck of dust on them.

Everyone's face was filled with extreme shock, bewilderment, and an unspeakable fear!

Too ruthless! Too decisive! Too terrifying!

This wasn't a battle at all; it was a massacre so efficient it was suffocating, and so cruel it was appalling!

From appearance to end, it had only been a few short dozen seconds.

The supreme leader of the Shadow Worship Cult in Jiangyuan City, several fifth-rank Cadres, and dozens of elite evil cultivators.

Wiped out entirely, not a single one left!

They weren't even given a chance to surrender or beg for mercy!

This kind of decisiveness in killing, this coldness that treated human life like grass.

It made these Spiritual Energy Bureau Agents, who dealt with evil entities year-round and considered themselves firm-willed, feel waves of palpitations and chills.

They subconsciously retreated a bit, looking nervously at Chen Nian in the air, not daring to even breathe loudly.

The atmosphere in the entire workshop was so oppressive it was suffocating.

Just then—

"Beep beep beep... beep beep beep..."

The tactical communicator on the captain's wrist suddenly emitted a rapid alert tone, breaking the dead silence.

The captain gave a start and hurriedly pressed the answer button.

From the other end of the communicator came an anxious and familiar voice: "Old Zhang! Old Zhang! What's the situation on your end? Please respond!"

The leader, addressed as Old Zhang, replied in a low voice:

"Received! On my end... the situation... the situation is a bit complicated."

The voice on the other end continued urgently:

"Complicated? No matter how complicated it is, listen up! Headquarters just sent an emergency message! Special Commissioner Chen from Donghai City has come to our Jiangyuan City!"

"Special Commissioner Chen?" Old Zhang was stunned, failing to react for a moment.

The communicator continued to ring:

"Yes! He was just over at the Old Street and wiped out an entire Shadow Worship Cult squad by himself!"

"After he finished off the evil cultivators at Old Street, he should have headed toward your location!"

"Calculating the time, he should have arrived by now!"

"Headquarters orders all units to fully cooperate with Special Commissioner Chen's actions!"

"All command authority is transferred to him! Whatever he says goes! Absolute obedience! Do you understand?!"

Hearing this, Old Zhang was momentarily stunned, then shouted in response: "Yes! Understood!"

Old Zhang had been very afraid originally.

But after receiving this communication, the fear in his heart immediately melted away like snow.

It was replaced by unparalleled shock, ecstasy, and a sudden realization!

So it was him!

So it was that legendary existence!

No wonder he possessed such terrifying strength! No wonder his killing was so decisive!

Everything made sense now!

The communication ended, and Old Zhang looked at Chen Nian in the air again, his gaze having completely changed.

He took a deep breath, straightened his messy uniform, and tried to make himself look calmer.

Then, he took a step forward, stood tall, and with all his might, gave an incredibly standard and solemn military salute toward Chen Nian in the air!

His voice trembled slightly with excitement, but it was filled with immense respect: "Thank you, Special Commissioner Chen, for your righteous intervention, for rescuing us, and for wiping out the evil!"

His roar was like a clap of thunder, waking the other agents who were still in a daze.

The agents were first stunned, and then their faces showed extreme shock, which then transformed into expressions of ecstasy and awe!

"Special Commissioner Chen? Is it that God of War from Donghai?"

"My god! It really is him! I was wondering why he was so strong!"

"Instantly killing a sixth-rank with a flick of a finger, wiping out a crowd of evils with a wave of a hand... So it's him! Then it's not strange at all!"

"Too strong! Truly too strong! As expected of a legendary existence!"

"I was scared to death just now, I thought..."

The crowd buzzed with discussion, their faces filled with the relief of surviving a disaster and infinite worship for the strong.

They also stood tall and saluted Chen Nian respectfully, their eyes burning with fervor.

Chen Nian slowly descended from the air, his feet lightly stepping into the pool of blood, yet remaining unstained.

He nodded casually to Zhang Meng and the others as a greeting, his tone flat:

"It is my duty, no need for formalities."

His gaze swept across the messy workshop, finally landing on the eerie formation that was soaked in the blood of the evil cultivators but whose core still emitted fluctuations of Evil Energy.

This formation was constructed from various twisted Shadow Runes and unknown Materials, with several objects emitting an ominous aura placed in the center.

Chen Nian walked slowly to the edge of the formation, ignoring the thick bloodstains beneath his feet.

His gaze fell on a pitch-black crystal about the size of a fist in the center of the formation.

This crystal emitted pure shadow energy and seemed to have a faint energy connection with something else.

"Oh? Interesting." A playful curve hooked the corner of Chen Nian's mouth.

He reached out his hand and made a grasping motion from a distance.

The black crystal was pulled as if by an invisible hand and flew lightly into his palm.

It felt ice-cold to the touch, and a surge of sinister energy tried to corrode his arm through the point of contact.

However, the moment this energy touched Chen Nian's skin, it was like snow meeting a blazing sun, instantly melting away completely.

With a slight movement of his Divine Sense, a wisp of pure Divine Thought probed into the interior of the crystal.

Immediately, he sensed several other faint, same-source energy fluctuations distributed in different directions within Jiangyuan City.

Clearly, those were the locations of other Shadow Worship Cult members.

He raised the black crystal in his hand and instructed the captain: "Clean up the aftermath here, confiscate the items, and write a report."

"I'm going to clear out the remaining rats in the city."

Hearing this, Zhang Meng immediately puffed out his chest and responded:

"Yes! Special Commissioner Chen! Please rest assured! We will definitely handle the aftermath well!"

Chen Nian said no more, and with a thought.

*Boom!*

Blood Fiend Incarnation, activate!

Under the immensely reverent gazes of the Spiritual Energy Bureau personnel.

Chen Nian transformed into a blood-colored streak of light that tore through the sky, racing toward the nearest energy fluctuation point he had sensed!

Not until Chen Nian's figure had completely disappeared into the horizon did the agents in the workshop let out a long sigh of relief.

These Shadow Worship Cult fellows had been acting tyrannically in Jiangyuan City for so long.

Today, having offended Special Commissioner Chen, they are finished.
