The strange creature beside her was still attacking Chen Nian.

They were completely unaware that Chen Nian's strength was constantly increasing while she was being attacked.

By the time Chen Nian's momentum finally stabilized at Sequence Six, it was too late to stop her counterattack.

A knife.

Chen Nian only used one slash.

He then killed all the strange creatures around him.

The difference between Sequence Seven and Sequence Six is ​​fully demonstrated in this one strike.

After sheathing her sword, Chen Nian looked around.

Nothing was left but dust everywhere.

Chen Nian's action caused the owner of the Ghost Domain to go berserk.

Countless strange phenomena surged in from all directions.

The strange creatures surged in from all directions faster than ever before, as if activated by the same command, pouring out from cracks in the ground and underground, covering a large area in front of them.

Chen Nian had already completed his preparations the moment they surged out. He drew his Miao sword from its sheath, and an icy blue halo lit up on the blade, brighter and more stable than before, with the edges of the light becoming clearer.

Instead of retreating, she took a step forward from her current position after confirming the direction from which the attack was coming, and struck with her knife as she did so.

The first blade of light traced an arc in front of her. When it touched the first few that surged forward, those eerie creatures began to dissipate the instant they were touched, as if they could not withstand the pressure field brought by the blade and had already begun to collapse before even making contact.

The subsequent strange occurrences were also sliced ​​through one by one within the coverage area of ​​the same blade of light, with each strike covering one area throughout the entire process.

The strange phenomena that originally required multiple treatments began to crumble under her blade, covering a much larger area than before, with dust spreading along the ground.

After several consecutive cuts, a clear area had been cleared in front of her, and she stepped forward.

These strange things vaporized instantly, just like water hitting a hot iron plate.

They had no ability to resist.

The crimson color was fading at a visible rate.

The dark red hues that originally covered the sky and the ground are fading from the edges toward the center, as if being peeled away from the outside by an invisible force, revealing the original color underneath.

Chen Nian stood in the center of the area that was gradually returning to normal, the Miao sword in her hand still at the angle it had been at when she struck, the icy blue halo on the blade becoming clearer as the surrounding colors faded.

The light at the edges is forming a thin halo, as if it is establishing a new balance with the surrounding environment that is returning to normal.

The strange phenomena that had once surged in from all directions had all disappeared, leaving only evenly spread dust on the ground, covering the entire area she had just advanced through.

About twenty meters ahead of her, the ground, which had been covered in dark red, had revealed its original earthy color and rocks, and there lay a weak and eerie creature.

This must be the strange control mechanism of the Ghost Realm.

Without any hesitation, Chen Nian killed it with a single strike and took out its own azure crystal.

After confirming that there were no more signs of energy activity, she put away the Miao sword and walked back towards the slope.

Her teammates were looking this way from the edge of the slope above.

Seeing Chen Nian walk back like this, he looked at her with a puzzled expression: "What's wrong? Why are you back so soon?"

"Fast?" Chen Nian was taken aback, then glanced at the time on the terminal.

Chen Nian felt like she had been in that ghost realm for at least half a day, but in reality only a few minutes had passed.

Chen Nian glanced at the terminal, then at the area below the slope that was returning to its normal color, and then put the terminal into her spatial storage, saying, "It's alright, I've dealt with the anomaly."

"Is it dealt with?" Su Wanqing peeked down the slope and saw that the area had completely returned to its normal color. Even the dark mist that had previously covered the surface had dissipated, leaving only a thin layer of dust on the ground.

Although I don't understand how Chen Nian did it.

But since Chen Nian said it's done, then it's done.

Back in the car, Chen Nian had already submitted the mission and was ready to continue to the next moment.

One task after another was completed, and soon five months had passed.

Chen Nian's team maintained a high level of mission completion.

Her Sequence Six rank gave her more leeway when dealing with tasks that originally required caution, thus compressing the task turnaround time to a shorter range than expected.

The routine of resting on the bus gradually developed into a fixed pattern.

However, the task was completed too quickly.

In just five months, Chen Nian's rank rose from second lieutenant to captain, accumulating his military achievements at a rate more than twice as fast as other officers formed at the same time.

The permissions of the mission pool are gradually opened up as military rank increases. Those ordinary missions that used to take most of the day to complete are no longer on their waiting list.

Instead, entries marked with higher difficulty levels and longer estimated durations appeared, as if the system had proactively adjusted the scope of push notifications after confirming their ability to handle higher-level tasks.

That evening, when Chen Nian checked the task pool, she noticed that the familiar low and medium level items were no longer on the interface. The remaining tasks were marked as requiring Sequence Six or higher to accept.

She flipped through a few pages and selected one of the decapitation missions.

Decapitation strike. The mission title is concise, without any superfluous embellishments, and the description only lists the coordinates, target type, and estimated duration, like an instruction that has been compressed to contain only the essential information.

After reading through the mission details and confirming that there were no missing notes or additional clauses, Chen Nian closed the interface, restarted the engine, and drove towards the coordinates.

The sky outside the car window was transitioning from dusk to night, and the car lights illuminated a stable area of ​​light on the road ahead, with the texture of the road and the outlines of the vegetation on both sides gradually blurring at the edges of the light.

Su Wanqing peeked out from the back seat at the terminal screen that Su Wanqing had placed next to the dashboard, but didn't ask anything before leaning back in her seat.

He continued looking down at his terminal, as if he were doing some personal task unrelated to work.

After the vehicle entered the coordinate area, Chen Nian reduced the speed, stopped the car on an open space by the roadside, turned off the engine, and removed the key.

After getting out of the car, she checked the direction and then walked along the edge of a slope that extended toward the target area.

Not long after we arrived, we saw other soldiers there as well. It seems that this mission was quite difficult, and several other teams had been dispatched because one team couldn't handle it.
