Otherworldly Affairs Office-Chapter 860: Breaking Through the Formation

Listening to the sound of people shouting and horses neighing behind him, feeling the faint tremor of the ground as the army mobilizes, Sifuer looked up at the sky and sighed, "Since I can't trade for love, then please bring my family greater profit, Pei Yan, I hope you won't disappoint me, haha, what am I rambling about? He's never let me down!"

Just as she was expressing her sentiments, a series of explosions resounded from the Disaster Legion, as Pei Yan had already stirred chaos in the enemy's midst.

On the battlefield, facing the oncoming tide of oppressors surging ahead, Pei Yan didn't even spare a glance as he soared over them. Under the influence of frantically extracting oxygen and releasing toxic gas, those fierce oppressors instantaneously collapsed. As the oppressors fell in droves, the core force of the Disaster Legion, the Red Armored Warriors, charged ahead surrounded by armed men.

These enemies that once posed quite a challenge for Pei Yan now seemed like insignificant ants incapable of threatening him. Eager to breach the formation, he didn't bother entangling with these Red Armored Warriors. Seeing them fearlessly attempt to block his path in mid-air, he immediately transformed into a lightning bolt, threading through the gaps of the enemy formation. As he brushed past, Pei Yan crossed his palms, shooting two thin lines of source energy from them. The moment these lines touched the enemy, the Red Armored Warriors, known for their defense, were instantly sliced in half without even a chance to scream.

"God, how strong has he become now! Are those lines the technique he used in the tournament?" Leohard, who led the first charge, instinctively touched his neck in terror as he watched the Red Armored Warriors being sliced down effortlessly by Pei Yan.

"That's source energy thread, an attack method from the Daoist Realm that refines source energy. It seems his journey to the Daoist Realm has yielded yet more rewards! Such rapid growth—what a terrifying young man!" Kodwen, who rose from a mere remnant soldier to become Legion Commander, quickly recognized the technique and commanded with admiration, "We can't delay any longer. While he's opened a gap in the enemy and before they regroup, swiftly lead a strike without giving the opponent a chance to breathe, expand the victory and reclaim the Holy Road."

Pei Yan disregarded the army behind trampling over the bodies he had slain to launch a full-scale attack. Having breached the Red Armored Warriors' defenses and casually dealt with the Disaster Spreader attempting to control him, he encountered the real obstruction to his raid: three Blood Demon Deputy Commanders and more than twenty Red Armored Warrior Commanders blocking his way.

"Prince Silver Wing, Pei Yan! Such audacity! Daring to raid solo, do you truly see my fifty thousand troops as mere paper tigers?" A Blood Demon Deputy Commander blocked Pei Yan's inevitable path, bellowing angrily.

The Blood Demon Deputy Commanders are formidable, their strength akin to those who have undergone eighth-level awakening. Such opponents were troublesome for Pei Yan five years ago, even nearly costing him and his comrades their lives in several encircling battles. But that was five years ago. Now, even Summer Yu facing these would pose no problem.

"Ah! Just a Deputy Commander, really. If your elite Grand Commander were here, I might be wary. But you bunch of misfits dare bark before me—it seems my title as the Mechanical Tiger faded after leaving the Hell Realm!" Pei Yan wielded a light saber with one hand and a long blade with the other, tilting his neck lazily as he looked at the fool before him, amused and incredulous.

"Others fear your reputation, but I…! Pfft!" The Deputy Commander hadn't finished his sentence when suddenly a fissure appeared in the void behind him. The mechanical doppelganger Pei San emerged, accurately winding a source energy thread around his throat. With Pei San exerting slight pressure with his arm, a line of blood spurted, and under the severe pain in his throat, the Deputy Commander urgently channeled source energy into his wound, simultaneously enhancing his defense, healing the wound, and preparing to retaliate. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

However, Pei Yan wouldn't afford him the chance. After a low mutter of "all methods connect," Pei Yan, transformed into a thunder, appeared instantly before the Deputy Commander, thrusting a long blade into his chest and a light saber through his throat.

"Killed so many, someone like you, a nobody, shouldn't occupy my memory with your name." Pei Yan said, observing the Deputy Commander felled by a rotation of attacks from source energy thread, long blade, and light saber, yet still twisting as his wounds continuously healed. He shook his head helplessly, "Almost forgot your Blood Demon attribute—that persistent survival. With such damage and still able to move, if not for lack of time, I really should capture a few live Deputy Commanders for Engineer Li and the others to study your physical composition."

With those words, Pei Yan disdainfully pressed his hand against the Deputy Commander's mouth, releasing a railgun shot through his oral cavity, retracting his hand as the corpse with half its head blasted away fell before him. Pei Yan turned his gaze toward the remaining enemies obstructing his path.

"His speed is too fast! With such high-speed movement, we can't possibly catch him. Without Spatial Magic to balance him, we can only be slaughtered before him!" Watching his comrade fall, another Deputy Commander did not appear particularly grief-stricken, but with an expression of terror he muttered to the surviving companion.

"So what do you propose?"

"Let him pass. Judging by his demeanor, he probably didn't come expressly to break the formation. Our duty is to sever the Holy City's connection with the outside. Letting him pass alone won't be much of a problem, the key is to block the demon army beginning a full-scale attack behind him!"

Having been persuaded by his companion, the already hesitant Blood Demon leader found justification for retreat. Unlike mid- to low-level oppressors and Red Armored Warriors, these high-level commanders possessed greater self-awareness and fear of death.

"You may go!" After making his decision, the Blood Demon leader begrudgingly stepped aside, gesturing towards the direction of the Holy City. With his movement, the other Blood Demon Commanders also withdrew, avoiding direct confrontation with Pei Yan.

Surprised by the gesture, Pei Yan nonetheless found it aligned with his intentions and didn't hesitate. He passed through the open path, but midway he suddenly remembered something, stopped sharply, and turned to the Deputy Commander who had suggested letting him pass. Casually, with a point, a source energy thread shot from his fingertip, instantly piercing through the unguarded Deputy Commander's head.

Bright red blood flowed from the small finger's thickness wound on his forehead, yet his formidable vitality allowed some reaction in his severely injured body, standing in mid-air rather than falling. However, Pei Yan's subsequent attack thoroughly annihilated any remaining potential for recovery. As Pei Yan waved a hand, a light curtain appeared before him.
