Otherworldly Affairs Office-Chapter 76: Feng Ziping’s Ultimate Counterattack

Don’t see Wu Jie agreeing so readily, but without the help of Feng Ziping, solely by his strength, it was truly difficult to deflect all the arrow showers. In the end, he simply steeled his heart, each looking out for himself, only fully deflecting the arrow rain before himself and the one he deemed most helpful to him, Feng Ziping.

This immediately caused a large gap in the defense, and a less capable underling next to him failed to evade in time, and took an arrow to the thigh, falling to the ground, clutching his wound and wailing painfully.

Feeling vexed, Wu Jie didn’t even turn his head as he yelled angrily, "What the hell are you yelling for! Aren’t you a capable person? Pull the arrow and get to the rear to recover yourself!"

"Retreat quickly! We can’t hold them!"

Before Wu Jie’s underling could act according to his command, the terrified voice of Feng Ziping had come over. It was only after engaging these newly emerged cavalry that he realized how vastly different these people were from the Roman Soldiers they had fought before.

Previously, once his silver needles casually pierced through the enemies, causing some damage, those soldiers would turn to smoke and disappear. Yet, this group of cavalry, even when the silver needles pierced their throats or other vital areas, could still continue their charge for a distance before vanishing. Just like that, in the blink of an eye, their battlefront was about to charge before him.

As Feng Ziping rapidly retreated, he continuously used his silver needle threads to weave through the cavalry formation. This time he set his target on the horses; as the silver needles pierced through the entire first row of horses, he pulled with force, and all the warhorses let out a mournful cry, along with their riders, who all fell to the ground.

Just as he and Wu Jie breathed a sigh of relief, thinking they had temporarily stemmed the cavalry’s onslaught, who would’ve thought that the subsequent cavalry showed no pause, continuing to stride over the fallen ones and rush forward madly.

"Run!" Wu Jie shouted; actually, without him issuing the order, the rest of them realized it wasn’t good and began to run in all directions, leaving behind the companion who had a leg injury from an arrow.

"Hey! Wait for me! Wait for me! C N M Wu Jie!" The young man who had previously been the first to support Wu Jie, seeing everyone abandon him, hobbled forward with a limp and cursed loudly.

However, his shouting and cursing did not last long as a long pike directly pierced through him from behind, and with a spurt, a mouthful of blood sprayed from his throat. At this moment, he remembered he was a capable person and just as he was about to twitch his fingers to launch a final counterattack, his entire body was lifted off the ground and impaled by over ten long pikes driving into his body!

Blood trickled down from the long pikes continuously, with his body twitching a few times before stopping any movement. The corpse was then tossed before the charging horses, which trampled over it!

"Don’t run, the Jiezhi Space is sealed, you can’t escape even if you try, we must find a way to fight them off!" Feng Ziping shouted loudly at the scattering followers of Wu Jie.

But the followers of Wu Jie, sharing similar origins with him, were inherently bullies afraid of the strong, becoming even more reckless once gaining powers. Normally, it was them torturing and bullying others; when had they ever seen such a scene where a person is speared into a sieve and then trampled into mush?

Jiang Feiyang leaned back in his chair, watching the battlefield through binoculars, enjoying the wafers fed by a maid beside him. Upon seeing the enemies scatter, he lightly tapped the railing with his finger.

The cavalry units, initially a consolidated iron torrent, immediately split into three groups upon receiving the order, bypassing both Wu and Feng to chase after the remaining three.

Seeing the large groups of cavalry brush past them in pursuit of others, the two finally breathed a sigh of relief, and upon raising their heads, saw a line of Tang infantry wielding long knives marching towards them in orderly steps below the high platform.

"Wu Jie, if you still want to run, I can’t stop you! But I’m telling you! You did everything absolutely, that kid won’t spare you even if he spares others. If we don’t take advantage of the cavalry being dispersed to deal with him now, those cavalry will kill your idiot underlings, then we’ll be trapped and end up the same as him, not even leaving a corpse!" Feng Ziping shouted at Wu Jie, pointing at the pool of mush on the ground.

With sweat soaking through his clothes at some point, Wu Jie swiftly slashed open his coat with a Butterfly Blade, exposing his wiry upper body. He tore and tossed the tattered cloth aside fiercely, saying, "Damn it, no need to educate me! I get it! Spill it! What’s the plan!"

"Charge forward, advance as close as possible! The nearer to the platform, the more confident I am in taking him down!"

"Alright! I’ll mimic Zhao Zilong of Changshan this time!"

With those words, the two of them burst into movement, charging toward the enemy formations. Wu Jie wielded dual Butterfly Blades, channeling all his inner energy, conjuring and condensing Butterfly Blades around him, one hundred, two hundred, three hundred, until three hundred Butterfly Blades conjured, fluttering beautifully like dancing butterflies.

"Wow, who would’ve thought a person so coarse could demonstrate such a breathtaking ability; you really can’t judge a book by its cover!" Jiang Feiyang, with hands resting on the platform, nodded and emotionally remarked witnessing this stunning scene below, then turned away, blending into the guards by his side.

"You fat bastard! You think you can dodge? Are you scared? Just a coward hiding behind the scenes feigning bravado! So-called Grand General, bah! What a shameless piece of shit! If you have the guts, come out and stand there whilst I fight my way up!" Wu Jie saw Jiang Feiyang disappear from the platform, knowing if he managed to escape, he’d face certain death, under urgent thought he quickly gathered every taunt he could think of, loudly provoking him.

A moment later, Wu Jie, not knowing whether his taunt worked or not, saw Jiang Feiyang, originally hidden among the guards, return to his seat on the chair, waving at him with a solemn expression as he charged below the platform.

"Phew!" Seeing him appear, the duo let out a sigh of relief. Feng Ziping even gave Wu Jie a thumbs-up in appreciation, thinking this idiot had finally pulled through once!

By this time, they managed to reach the infantry formations. Glancing at the Tang army’s flashing long knives, Wu Jie dared not face the front line directly, and with a swing of his arms, sent countless butterflies flying into the enemy formations. Wherever the butterflies passed, the blade edges flickered, soldiers continually sustaining severe injuries and turning to smoke, disappearing on the spot.

Meanwhile, Feng Ziping stayed hidden behind Wu Jie, not making a move just yet, his gaze fixed unwaveringly on Jiang Feiyang atop the high platform, his hands accumulating silver needles in increasing amounts, ten, twenty, thirty.

When he accumulated to his limit of fifty needles, Wu Jie’s impatient voice rang out, "Are you done yet! I can’t hold on much longer!"

"Alright! Now’s the time!" Feng Ziping shouted, seizing the opportunity. Flinging out the silver needles in hand, fifty needles trailed by fifty threads consolidated into a singular formidable force, shooting towards Jiang Feiyang on the platform like a sharp arrow.
