45: They were fighting the Church of the Corpses

In an instant, a wild wind howled throughout the room.

The curtains fluttered loudly, and the clutter on the table was overturned by the airwave, hitting the floor with a series of clatters.

A golden aura of energy centered around Chen Nian, spreading out in all directions.

Wherever it passed, that cold, viscous Ghostly Qi was like snow meeting a scorching sun, making "sizzling" sounds as it was instantly evaporated and purified!

Feeling this energy that was pure to the extreme and powerful enough to make one tremble, Wu Jiahao and Zhao Xinyi were instantly stunned.

Under the pressure of this energy, their bodies shook uncontrollably, and even breathing became incredibly difficult.

Such... such a powerful force!

This power is simply heavier than mountains and vaster than the ocean!

Wu Jiahao's mind went blank.

He suddenly remembered that in the Garrison Squad's office, Senior had only lightly used a trace of Spiritual Power to beat the members of the Garrison Squad until they spat blood and lost consciousness.

But now he realized that it wasn't a trace at all!

That wasn't even a billionth of his power!

At this moment, Wu Jiahao and Zhao Xinyi were both stunned into a daze by the scene before them.

Just then, the woman on the bed seemed to be greatly stimulated, letting out an extremely shrill wail.

"Aaaaah—!"

Her body shook violently, and her limbs twisted at bizarre angles.

Then, a sharp, distorted sound that didn't seem human at all roared from her throat.

"Stop! Stop quickly!!"

The voice was full of pain and resentment.

And there was more than one!

Wu Jiahao and Zhao Xinyi's pupils suddenly constricted.

They could clearly hear that the roaring contained at least three or four different voices, each full of violence and madness.

It's Ghostly Creatures!

And more than one!

"The... the Ghostly Qi fluctuations are soaring! It's Second-Order! They are all Second-Order Ghostly Creatures or higher!"

Zhao Xinyi cried out in alarm, the color draining from her face.

Wu Jiahao was also full of terror, his back instantly drenched in cold sweat.

Several Second-Order Ghostly Creatures!

The two of them, mere First-Order Special Agents, weren't even enough to fill the gaps between teeth in front of such a lineup!

The two of them almost instinctively took out various Talismans and Magical Artifacts from their persons.

Evil-Suppressing Talisman, Evil-Breaking Talisman, Golden Light Formation Plate... they hurriedly began setting up at the scene, trying to construct a simple formation to weaken the Ghostly Creatures.

At the very least, they had to prevent these Ghostly Creatures from affecting nearby civilians if they suddenly attacked.

However, facing this scene that was enough to make everyone present's Soul Fly Away and Spirit Scattering, Chen Nian remained expressionless and fearless.

His cold gaze locked onto the agonizingly struggling body on the bed, his voice not loud, but carrying an unquestionable majesty.

"I'll give you three seconds to get out yourselves."

"Otherwise, die directly inside."

As soon as these words were spoken, Wu Jiahao and Zhao Xinyi, who were setting up the formation, both froze.

They looked at Chen Nian in shock.

Let the Ghostly Creatures die inside a civilian's body?

This... this seriously violates the Spiritual Energy Bureau's code of conduct!

However, Chen Nian gave them no time to question.

He actually started counting.

"Three."

The moment the word fell, the golden energy on his body surged again, and the pressure became even more terrifying!

"Aaaaaah—!"

The woman on the bed let out an even more shrill wail, and the Ghostly Creatures' roars became increasingly painful.

"Two."

Chen Nian's voice was cold, without a trace of warmth.

"No! Mercy! We're coming out! We're coming out right now!"

The Ghostly Creatures finally broke.

The next second.

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"

Several black shadows suddenly burst out from the middle-aged woman's body.

A total of four black shadows condensed in mid-air, which were exactly four hideous Ghostly Creatures.

Each of them had a powerful aura and eerie Ghostly Qi, clearly possessing Second-Order strength.

The leading Ghostly Creature was the largest and had the heaviest resentment; it stared fixedly at Chen Nian and roared with feigned bravado.

"Lunatic, you lunatic, you actually dare to move against us?"

"Do you know who we are? Behind us is the Corpse Ghost Cult!!"

"If you dare to harm us even a little bit today, the Corpse Ghost Cult will definitely not let you off. You're dead!"

Hearing this threat, Wu Jiahao and Zhao Xinyi's hearts immediately sank to the bottom.

The Corpse Ghost Cult!

That notorious Evil Cultivator Organization was ruthless and cruel, a primary target for the Spiritual Energy Bureau.

To think that these Ghostly Creatures were actually members of the Corpse Ghost Cult.

This is big trouble.

However, hearing the words "Corpse Ghost Cult," a contemptuous smile appeared on Chen Nian's face.

"The Corpse Ghost Cult?"

"That's quite a coincidence."

"The one I'm attacking is exactly the Corpse Ghost Cult!"

Before his voice had even faded.

He didn't even lift a hand; he merely narrowed his eyes.

"Boom—!"

The power of the Prison Suppressing Divine Body was fully unleashed by him.

A burst of golden energy, even more brilliant and domineering than before, erupted like a small sun.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Accompanied by three muffled explosions.

Under everyone's horrified gazes.

The three Ghostly Creatures beside the leader didn't even have time to let out a scream before their bodies burst like balloons.

For a moment, foul-smelling liquid and fragments splashed everywhere.

These Ghostly Creatures couldn't even move; they were directly blasted into the most primitive energy residue, turning into smoke and dissipating.

Instant kill!

He didn't even need to lift a finger!

With just a glance, he instantly shook and killed three Second-Order Ghostly Creatures!

In an instant, only the leading Ghostly Creature remained floating in place in the entire room.

But at this moment, it was completely frozen, its ghostly body covered in cracks as if it would collapse at any time.

It looked at Chen Nian in terror, the resentment and arrogance in its eyes long gone, replaced by a fear that went deep into its bones.

It was so scared it didn't even dare to move, for fear of attracting the attention of this God of Slaughter.

Wu Jiahao and Zhao Xinyi were also full of terror, their minds blank.

Such... such a powerful force... what kind of terrifying power is this?

To be able to shake and kill so many Second-Order Ghostly Creatures with just a glance.

Is this truly a power that a human can possess?

Senior Chen Nian... just what level of existence is he?

They couldn't figure it out.

But now, they had an even deeper understanding of Chen Nian's terror.

Unlike the shock of the others, Chen Nian looked completely relaxed, as if he had just done a trivial matter.

He gave a contemptuous smile, his tone carrying a hint of disdain.

"What a joke."

"Acting so arrogant, I thought you were actually something."

"Daring to threaten me."

"Turns out you're just a bunch of trash!"

Saying that, he clenched one hand, and a powerful suction instantly erupted, pulling the Ghostly Creature into his hand as he grabbed it by the neck.

The Ghostly Creature was shocked and suddenly snapped out of it: "Monster, you monster, let me go!"

It struggled violently in Chen Nian's hand, only to find that it couldn't budge him even a bit.

Chen Nian lifted it to his eyes, his golden pupils staring at it coldly.

"Alright, now let's begin."

"Tell me about the Corpse Ghost Cult."
