357: Kill without hesitation, show no mercy!

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone from the Spiritual Energy Bureau was instantly shocked!

What did he mean?

Did Special Commissioner Chen mean he was going to execute all of these Disciples?

Leaving not a single one alive?

However, before they could think further—

The Sect Disciples, hearing Chen Nian's words, were instantly scared out of their wits, their Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering!

The pleading on their faces instantly turned into boundless terror and despair!

"No! Don't!"

"My Lord! We were forced! We were truly forced!"

"Please, give us a chance! We are willing to turn over a new leaf, willing to spend the rest of our lives atoning for our sins!"

"The Sect Master and the others are in the Forbidden Ground on the back mountain! They are performing some kind of ritual! We can lead the way! We only ask that you spare our lives!"

The Disciples' cries became even more shrill and mournful.

They kowtowed until their foreheads were a bloody mess, attempting to use their final 'value' to trade for a chance at life.

However, Chen Nian didn't care at all.

He didn't even bother to listen to any more of this nonsense.

He simply raised his hand casually and gave a light wave toward the group of kneeling Disciples.

Thousands of condensed Blood-colored Silk Threads—Heart-Devouring Demon Silk—instantly erupted!

The Sect Disciples kneeling and begging for mercy didn't even have time to scream or make any reaction.

Their vision was completely filled with a sea of crimson!

"Puchi! Puchi! Puchi! Puchi! Puchi!"

The sound of sharp blades slicing through flesh was so dense it made one's scalp tingle!

While still in their kneeling positions, the bodies of dozens of Disciples were sliced and decomposed by the crisscrossing Blood-colored Silk Threads!

Heads rolled, limbs were severed, and torsos were cut into dozens of uniform pieces!

Red, white, green, purple...

Blood of various colors, internal organs, and bone fragments mixed together.

They splattered out like an exploding paint bucket!

Thick plasma instantly stained the entire stone-stepped square in front of the Qinglan Sect's mountain gate red!

[Ding! Killed Fallen Sect Disciple (Tier 3), gained 547 points!]

[Ding! Killed Fallen Sect Disciple (Tier 3), gained 719 points!]

[Ding! Killed Fallen Sect Disciple (Tier 4), gained 3,655 points!]

[Ding! Killed Fallen Sect Disciple (Tier 4), gained 8,981 points!]

...

In Chen Nian's mind, the System's broadcasts rang out one after another.

However, most of these guys were only Tier 3 or Tier 4 Cultivators, so the points weren't that many.

But Chen Nian didn't mind; after all, even mosquito legs are meat.

Moreover, there were even bigger "fish" waiting for him inside.

However, unlike his calmness,

the members of the Spiritual Energy Bureau were once again dumbfounded by this scene!

Special Commissioner Chen actually did it!

He directly slaughtered all these Sect Disciples who had surrendered and disarmed.

Although this seemed a bit against the rules and regulations, they didn't feel it was their place to say anything in front of Special Commissioner Chen.

As for some surviving Cultivators who were originally hiding in the back and were lucky enough not to be hit by the threads,

at this moment, madness was born from their despair.

They looked at the shredded corpses of their fellow Disciples all over the ground.

They looked at that figure who resembled a demon god.

Extreme fear finally crushed their rationality.

"We're dead either way! Let's fight him!!"

"Kill!!!"

More than a dozen Qinglan Sect Disciples, their eyes bloodshot, had the Evil Energy within their bodies burning wildly!

They roared, no longer kneeling, but instead launched a suicidal counterattack against Chen Nian!

Someone transformed into a foul black shadow, claws and teeth bared, aiming straight for Chen Nian's throat!

Someone formed hand seals, spitting out a dark purple corrosive poison mist from their mouth that shrouded the area!

Others directly detonated the Evil Energy Magical Artifacts they carried, attempting to cause area-of-effect damage through self-destruction!

However, the Spiritual Energy Bureau members only found this scene absurd and pathetic.

These fools, after seeing Special Commissioner Chen's powerful strength and sharp methods,

actually still wanted to fight him?

What was the difference between an ant trying to resist a god?

Naturally, Chen Nian didn't take them seriously either.

He just casually waved his hand again.

"Shua shua shua shua shua—!!!"

More, denser, and sharper Blood-colored Silk Threads erupted out of thin air.

Like a wild storm of death, they swept toward the dozen or so counterattacking Cultivators!

The counterattacks of those Cultivators—whether claws, poison mist, or the Magical Artifacts about to self-destruct—

didn't even have time to get within ten meters of Chen Nian's front.

They were sliced, dismantled, and annihilated within the crisscrossing crimson web!

Immediately after, the threads swept through their bodies.

"Puchi! Puchi! Puchi! Puchi!"

The sound of slicing rang out again.

The dozen or so Cultivators who had gathered their last bits of courage to counterattack were like they had run into an invisible meat grinder.

In an instant, they were sliced into even finer pieces of meat, which, mixed with the shattered fragments of their Magical Artifacts, fell to the ground with a clatter.

For a moment, blood splattered, flesh and bone flew, and severed limbs and internal organs covered the open ground in front of the mountain gate.

A bloody stench so strong it was nauseating rose into the sky.

Mixed with the burnt smell from the dissipated Evil Energy, it formed a suffocating odor.

The scene instantly turned into a true living hell, with not a single standing Qinglan Sect Disciple left.

[Ding! Killed Tier 3 Fallen Cultivator, gained 824 points!]

[Ding! Killed Tier 3 Fallen Cultivator, gained 932 points!]

[Ding! Killed Tier 4 Fallen Cultivator, gained 5,117 points!]

[Ding! Killed Tier 4 Fallen Cultivator, gained 7,888 points!]

...

In Chen Nian's mind, another series of System broadcasts rang out.

And the members of the Spiritual Energy Bureau now looked at Chen Nian with different eyes.

As expected, Special Commissioner Chen's methods were far too sharp.

Any enemy he targeted had absolutely no room for maneuver.

He killed without hesitation, showing no mercy!

Therefore, no matter what, one must never become his enemy, let alone harbor any illusions of luck!

However, they also knew well that these Sect Disciples had long since fallen.

They had betrayed the Human Race and joined the abyss of evil spirits.

Ending up like this now was their own doing, a well-deserved punishment.

To be kind to the enemy is to be cruel to one's own people.

Zhou Zhen was the first to recover from the shock.

He forcibly suppressed the alarm in his heart, took a deep breath, stepped forward quickly, and gave Chen Nian a solemn salute.

His voice carried a tremor that had not yet subsided and sincere respect:

"Special Commissioner Chen, thank you for coming to our support. It's been hard on you!"

Chen Nian glanced sideways at him and spoke in a flat tone:

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

He paused, his gaze sweeping over the mess on the ground, his voice still without much fluctuation:

"Clean this up. The residual Evil Energy needs to be thoroughly purified to avoid contaminating the ley lines."

Zhou Zhen hurriedly responded, his attitude extremely respectful: "Yes! I follow Special Commissioner Chen's orders!"

Then, Chen Nian looked up, his gaze passing over the bloody mountain gate square and toward the depths of the Qinglan Sect.

There, the light of the Mountain-Protecting Array was still flowing, but the dark purple filth at the array core was becoming increasingly obvious.

At the mountain peak, that obscure and massive wave of Evil Energy was slowly awakening, like a crouching Vicious Beast.

The corner of Chen Nian's mouth curled into a cold and expectant arc.

He whispered to himself, yet his words clearly reached the ears of Zhou Zhen and every member of the Spiritual Energy Bureau:

"The small fry outside have been cleared out."

"Now, it's time to go in and see exactly what kind of shameful things are hidden inside."
