63: Slaughter them all! You'll be waiting in vain!

Listening to the series of System notifications ringing in his mind,

Chen Nian was very satisfied; tonight's harvest was incredibly bountiful.

It seemed he had found another direction for the future.

Killing these corrupt Spiritual Energy Bureau Agents was also quite a good choice.

However, unlike his delight, the surrounding fully armed Special Agents—

at this moment, every single one of them had faces filled with unbelievable shock and bone-deep fear.

Everyone's gaze was fixed deathly on Chen Nian, as if they were looking at a demon god crawling out from the depths of Hell.

What just happened?

They hadn't even seen it clearly.

They only saw him standing there, casually waving a hand.

Yes, it was that casual, as if he were merely shooing away an annoying fly.

Then, all members of the Tianyun District Garrison Squad had their heads separated from their bodies under that nonchalant wave.

Not a single one left!

All killed!

One must know, that was the Tianyun District Garrison Squad.

They were the elite force specifically sent by the Spiritual Energy Bureau to guard a region.

Every member was at least a Rank Two Psionicist.

Among them, Captain Gao Yuanshan and the Vice-Captain were genuine Rank Three powerhouses.

And the result?

A team of such decent strength couldn't even take a single blow from him.

Then what did they, the First-Class and Second-Class Squads responsible for the outer perimeter and lockdown, amount to?

Cannon fodder?

No, they didn't even qualify as cannon fodder.

He could insta-kill Rank Two and Rank Three Special Agents so easily; killing Rank Ones and Rank Twos like them was probably simpler than breathing.

Even the Third-Class Squads that had rushed inside the building were likely no match for him.

The only hope might lie with those few Fourth-Class Squads that had also breached the building.

If those Fourth-Class Squads joined forces, perhaps there was a sliver of a chance?

However, at this moment, there were only these First-Class and Second-Class perimeter squads here.

In other words, no one standing here right now could withstand a wave of his hand.

As long as he wished, they could follow in the footsteps of the Tianyun District Garrison Squad at any second.

Thinking of this, the surrounding fully armed Special Agents could no longer maintain their composure.

Fear submerged them like a tide.

*Clatter clatter—*

Everyone instinctively retreated several steps, the sound of their footsteps echoing as they put what they considered a safe distance between themselves and Chen Nian.

The encirclement instantly became loose and laughable.

Chen Nian also snapped out of the joy of his harvest.

He looked around and saw the Special Agents with pale faces, looking at him in terror as if he were some prehistoric behemoth.

He couldn't help but find it a bit amusing.

"Why are you looking at me with those eyes?"

His voice wasn't loud, but it reached everyone's ears clearly.

"These guys committed countless crimes; their deaths are well-deserved."

"As long as you behave yourselves and don't do bad things, how could I possibly attack you for no reason?"

"After all, I'm not some kind of devil."

At this point, Chen Nian's tone shifted, and a playful smile curled at the corner of his mouth.

"Or rather... have you actually done many bad things and have a guilty conscience?"

As his voice fell, all the Special Agents shuddered, their hearts skipping a beat.

Their faces turned even paler, and the fear in their eyes deepened.

Seeing them scared out of their wits, Chen Nian found it interesting but didn't feel like joking anymore.

His gaze fell on Li Weijie nearby.

"I remember your name is Li Weijie, right?"

Chen Nian's voice was flat, but it gave Li Weijie a jolt, snapping him back to reality.

He quickly straightened his body and replied with a respectful tone.

"Ye... Yes, Senior Chen Nian!"

Chen Nian nodded and continued.

"Your car is quite comfortable and you drive steadily. I'm too lazy to go back myself; drive me back."

Hearing this, a troubled look appeared on Li Weijie's face.

He glanced at the building behind him, then at Chen Nian, and replied with some difficulty.

"But, I still have perimeter duty. If people from the Corpse Ghost Cult escape..."

Before he could finish, he was impatiently interrupted by Chen Nian.

"Perimeter my foot."

Chen Nian looked at him speechlessly.

"The people inside have all been slaughtered by me. You're guarding nothing here."

Hearing this, everyone present was shocked once again.

What?

The people inside were all slaughtered by him?

By him alone?

This was the headquarters of the Corpse Ghost Cult; it must be infested with Ghostly Creatures and crowded with experts!

For this operation, they had deployed several Third-Class and Fourth-Class Squads just to ensure absolute success.

And yet, he cleared out the entire place by himself?

This thought made everyone present feel a sense of absurdity and unreality.

But then, they recalled the terrifying scene of him insta-killing the entire Garrison Squad with a wave of his hand.

They realized...

it didn't seem impossible.

After all, he was that Chen Nian... Hearing this news, Li Weijie was equally shocked.

However, he quickly reacted.

Since Senior Chen Nian said so, it shouldn't be false.

He glanced at the surrounding team members who were already scared witless and quickly made a decision in his heart.

He had been saved by Senior Chen Nian before and had briefly interacted with him; he knew that although the Senior used ruthless methods, he was definitely not a maniac who killed the innocent indiscriminately.

Therefore, he didn't feel afraid himself; it was more of a sense of awe.

But the other team members were different.

If Senior Chen Nian continued to stay here, the morale of the entire team would probably completely collapse.

Better to send the Senior back first.

Thinking of this, Li Weijie immediately made his decision.

He spoke loudly to the team members beside him.

"Alright, I will send Senior Chen Nian back first. You guys continue to maintain the perimeter and seal off the scene!"

"Yes!"

Hearing this, all the team members felt as if they had been granted a great amnesty and responded in unison.

Li Weijie didn't dare delay for a moment and quickly jogged to get the car.

Soon, the black off-road vehicle drove over.

Chen Nian pulled open the door and sat in the back seat on his own.

Li Weijie took a deep breath, started the car, and slowly drove away from this oppressive area.

As he drove, he carefully observed Chen Nian's expression through the rearview mirror.

After hesitating for a long time, he couldn't help but speak.

"Um... Senior Chen Nian, although those people from the Garrison Squad were indeed detestable, they had already given up resistance at that time."

"By killing them all, you might face punishment from the headquarters when you go back."

However, Chen Nian just looked at his terminal and flatly replied with two words.

"Is that so."

This extremely perfunctory attitude made Li Weijie feel a wave of embarrassment.

But he bit the bullet and continued:

"Furthermore, if they were handed over alive to the Spiritual Energy Bureau's Tribunal, you could obtain contribution points and rewards. It's more cost-effective than direct killing."

"I see."

Chen Nian still replied nonchalantly, his eyes never even leaving his terminal screen.

That indifferent look was as if Li Weijie were talking about a trivial matter that had nothing to do with him.

Li Weijie wanted to say more.

But seeing Chen Nian's unconcerned attitude, he really didn't know what else to say.

The Senior had this attitude already, so what else could he say?

Clearly, Senior Chen Nian didn't care about any punishment or contribution points at all.

Li Weijie had no choice but to shut his mouth, silently grip the steering wheel, and drive quietly... Meanwhile, inside the building.

Just as Chen Nian had said, this place had already been completely purged.

The Third-Class and Fourth-Class Squads that breached the building had a smooth path, not encountering a single living member of the Corpse Ghost Cult.

All there was were floors covered in blood, severed limbs, shattered organs, and chunks of meat.

On the walls, ceilings, and floors, there were splashes of dark red blood and nauseating bits of flesh everywhere.

The entire building had turned into a literal Hell on earth.

The air was filled with a bloody stench so thick it wouldn't dissipate, stimulating everyone's nerves.

*Blech...*

A young team member could no longer hold it in, leaning against the wall and retching violently.

The others were also pale, desperately suppressing the churning in their stomachs.

They couldn't help but ask the same question in their hearts.

This is too terrifying!

Just what kind of powerful and brutal force could turn this place into such a state in such a short time?

Even the leader of the Fourth-Class Squad, Zhao Yonggang, was now full of terror, his back already soaked with cold sweat.

He crouched down, looking at a puddle of flesh on the ground that was almost indistinguishable as human, his pupils trembling violently.

With his strength and experience, he could naturally see that almost all the enemies here had been crushed to dregs in an instant.

No struggle, no resistance—it was a completely one-sided massacre!

Looking at the severity of the carnage, he had no doubt.

If he had been present at the time, his end probably wouldn't have been any better than the minced meat on the ground.

His proud Rank Four strength would likely be easily crushed like an ant before the power that caused all this.

Thinking so, a bone-chilling coldness suddenly shot from his tailbone straight to his head.
