71: This is the second-tier resonance realm?!

The Special Agents of the Combat Squad also rushed out of the office one after another.

Their movements were swift and well-trained, but a massive question mark loomed in everyone's mind.

"That Special Commissioner Chen Nian just now, the Aura on him seemed to be only at the Second-stage Resonance Realm, right?" a young team member couldn't help but whisper.

The companion beside him nodded and responded in a low voice, "That's right, it's the Resonance Realm. I felt it too."

"But the rumors... didn't they say he killed the Heart-Devouring Old Demon with a single punch?"

"More than just the Heart-Devouring Old Demon; the version I heard was that even the Youdu Corpse Emperor fell by his hand!"

"How is that possible? Could someone in the Second-stage Resonance Realm really do such a thing?"

"Could those rumors all be fake, made up and exaggerated just to build momentum for him?"

Although the discussion was quiet, it clearly reached the ears of the squad leader.

"All of you, shut up!"

Captain Zhou Hai barked in a low voice. His face was resolute, carrying an unquestionable authority.

"Now is the time to execute the mission. Put away all those messy thoughts and focus on your vigilance!"

"Yes... yes! Captain!"

The team members felt a chill in their hearts and immediately fell silent; the atmosphere of the team became serious once again.

In fact, Zhou Hai could completely understand his subordinates' thoughts.

Because he himself thought the same way.

Just now in the office, he had been in close contact with Chen Nian.

The Spiritual Power Fluctuations emanating from the other party were indeed at the level of the Second-stage Resonance Realm.

For someone in the Second-stage Resonance Realm, no matter how much of a natural talent they were, challenging someone at the Third-stage was already the limit.

How could he possibly mess with beings of the caliber of the Heart-Devouring Old Demon and the Youdu Corpse Emperor?

It simply didn't make sense.

However, orders were orders, and they had to execute them.

At this moment, Chen Nian was their highest Commander.

Just as the team was advancing rapidly and had not yet fully approached the target area, the sounds of intense fighting and the ear-piercing shrieks of Demonic Evils could already be heard from afar.

Those sounds were terrifying and violent, completely exceeding their expectations.

Zhou Hai's expression changed.

"Not good! The battle has already begun!"

"Everyone, speed up! Fast!"

With his command, all the team members immediately increased their speed to the limit, turning into afterimages as they rushed toward the battlefield.

They were prepared for a tragic battle and had even anticipated that a huge price might need to be paid to get the situation under control.

However, when they finally arrived at the scene, the sight before them made everyone stop in their tracks.

The street was a mess.

Over ten Demonic Evils of various forms were currently fleeing frantically from a single figure, attempting to escape.

And that figure was precisely Chen Nian.

Chen Nian stood in the center of the battlefield, facing the Demonic Evils trying to escape with no emotion on his face.

He simply raised his hands.

In the next second, two extremely brilliant Green Energy Beams erupted from his palms.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

Two deafening explosions followed, as two massive plumes of green fire soared into the sky.

A terrifying energy shockwave swept in all directions, directly swallowing all the Demonic Evils.

Those Demonic Evils, who had been baring their fangs and claws with overwhelming ferocity just moments ago, didn't even have time to let out a scream before they were instantly disintegrated and blown to pieces within the green energy.

Ultimately, they turned into ashes and dissipated into the air.

The entire world went quiet.

All the Special Agents who had arrived stood dazed on the spot, their mouths wide open, unable to say a single word.

After several seconds, someone finally swallowed hard and broke the silence with a trembling voice.

"This... is this freaking the Second-stage Resonance Realm?"

"The power of this strike—I'm afraid even if all of us combined our strength, we wouldn't be able to produce it, right?"

"Something's not right; the Aura he's emitting now is definitely more than just the Second-stage!"

"This pressure... it's probably much stronger than even the Captain's!"

Everyone was talking at once, each feeling that their worldview had been severely impacted.

Were the rumors true?

No, this was even more ridiculous than the rumors!

Captain Zhou Hai was equally shocked; he could clearly feel that the majestic Aura currently emanating from Chen Nian was bottomless.

It even caused him, a Fourth-stage, to feel a surge of heart palpitations.

But he quickly snapped back to his senses.

"Don't just stand there! Stay alert! Clear the battlefield!"

Now was not the time to think about these things.

The team members reacted immediately, quickly dispersing to establish a perimeter while beginning to deal with the areas affected by the explosion.

Zhou Hai walked quickly to Chen Nian's side, his attitude becoming even more respectful than it had been in the office.

"Special Commissioner Chen, are you alright? Do you need medical support?"

Chen Nian withdrew his gaze, and that terrifying Aura also retracted, returning to that ordinary feeling of the Second-stage Resonance Realm.

He just gave Zhou Hai a faint glance.

"No need."

"Just make sure you handle things here."

His attitude was flat, with no hint of emotion.

Zhou Hai and the others felt even more intimidated, and their awe of Chen Nian deepened further.

However, before they could make their next move, Chen Nian's figure suddenly paused.

He abruptly turned his head and looked toward a dark, deep alley not far away.

A faint but cold and malicious sensation was coming from that direction.

Like a venomous snake peering at everything here from the shadows.

Ever since his Prison Suppressing Divine Body had upgraded again, his perception had reached an inconceivable level.

This kind of spying was impossible for ordinary people to detect, but in his perception, it was crystal clear.

"There's a situation over there."

Chen Nian uttered those four words.

Before his voice had even faded, he had already soared into the sky, his body turning into a Red Stream of Light as he flew straight toward that dark alley.

This scene once again caused everyone present to be petrified on the spot.

"Holy crap! He... he can fly!"

"And he didn't use a Magical Artifact; it's Physical Body flight!"

"Physical Body flight? Isn't that something only a powerhouse of at least the Fourth-stage or above, who has cultivated extremely advanced Flight Techniques, can achieve?"

"Isn't he only at the Second-stage? My god, what kind of monster is he!"

The Special Agents present felt like their brains were no longer sufficient.

Every single thing happening with this Special Commissioner Chen Nian was frantically challenging their understanding.

Zhou Hai was also deeply shaken, but he reacted the fastest and immediately issued orders.

"Team one, stay behind to clear the scene and reassure the public!"

"Team two, follow me!"

After saying that, he led an elite squad and chased after the direction Chen Nian had flown in at full speed.
