Otherworldly Affairs Office-Chapter 802: Splitting Forces for a Surprise Attack

"Huff huff, you guys won't have an easy battle ahead. Using three Divine Gift Skills, Flamel has really put everything on the line. The Divine Great Healing Art is two levels above the site's self-healing magic, equivalent to the move personally released by the Primordial Source itself. It can almost heal all bodily injuries without leaving any sequelae. The other two Divine Gift Skills are simply defying the heavens. It seems you've really angered him. So, do you need my help? Just say the word, and we can find any excuse to intervene in the battle."

Listening to Lin Daozi's introduction in his mind, barely holding back his joy from breaking into laughter, and the seemingly sincere invitation of the second half, Pei Yan rolled his eyes and flatly refused, "Thanks, but the Investigation Hall can handle this battle."

Having said that, Pei Yan refocused his attention on the battlefield. After Flamel's "extravagant" display of wealth, Pei Yan had an even deeper understanding of the profound resources of the old plane. Besides the jealousy that made him regret not placing a bet with the opponent before the battle commenced, he felt an urge to rush forward and rob the equipment off the enemies.

"Ah, the tables have turned! Defeating one opponent results in five more popping up; what a cheat!" Zheng Jia Ru exclaimed while stretching his shoulders. "It seems it's time to showcase the new ability I acquired. I didn't have time to use it against Alexia earlier, but my new ability is a bit of a slow starter. Could you help me buy some time?"

"It shouldn't be a problem. Pei Yan, you'll have to bear the pressure at critical moments. Flamel and that woman are in your hands, and the six Round Table Knights will be dealt with by the three of us." Ye Ruozai said modestly, shielding Zheng Jia Ru alongside Xia Yu and glancing at Pei Yan.

Pei Yan nodded without much fuss. Pressure? With three against six, their pressure was no less than his own. Entrusting the strongest enemy to him, Ye Ruozai must be quite unwilling at this moment, but he still took the initiative to speak to him. It's a consideration of the situation and a trust in him, which Pei Yan could only respond to with strength.

Attack! Pei Yan and Pei Jin crossed paths and charged towards the Magic Squad. Standing before them were six fully armed Round Table Knights. Led by Lanloste, the six knights formed a crescent-shaped blockade in front of them. As the formation and dragon shifted, a massive amount of Sword Qi gathered on the six longswords, pointed skyward.

"Heavy as Mount Tai!" Xia Yu shouted in a low voice as she pressed her hands to the ground. However, unexpectedly, her unstoppable gravity enhancement failed to achieve the expected effect. The six knights merely trembled slightly before continuing to gather Sword Qi, preparing for a combined attack.

"They have been endowed with the Divine Gift Skill, reducing all negative effects to the minimum while the magic is in effect!" Pei Yan said as he relayed the intelligence he had obtained to his teammates. "Moreover, all of them have received blessings from the deities of the Magic Realm, greatly enhancing their physical, magical, and other attributes. Be careful in dealing with them!"

"Got it! You all be careful too!" Ye Ruozai replied after receiving the reminder, casually tossing his longsword into the ground. As the sword tip touched the ground, a torrent of Primordial Qi erupted from his body. In the midst of the surging Qi, Ye Ruozai's hair, tied behind him, danced freely in the wind. A sharp glint flashed across his eyes as he shouted, "Heavenly Dao: All Things Born!"

As soon as these words were spoken, where the sword tip had fallen, a young sprout emerged from the ground, enveloping the entire longsword. Next, the ground began to tremble and crack. New branches burst through the fissures before the six Round Table Knights could figure out what was happening. They were already enveloped by a dense forest, their bodies entangled with countless vines, forcing their gathered attack to a halt.

"Oh, what a peculiar talent!" Lin Daozi, observing the scene, for the first time set his gaze on this man overshadowed by Pei Yan. To create something from nothing and nurture life, even in the Daoist Realm, required someone of extremely high talent to grasp such magic. Yet, he could effortlessly unleash such large-scale wood-element Daoist techniques. Lin Daozi sensed from this person an essence akin to his own and foresaw the threat he would pose to him in the future.

At this moment, Pei Yan was unaware that his comrade's initial show of talent had raised his danger index in Lin Daozi's mind by several notches. All he could think of as he broke free was one thing!

"Take out as many as you can!" After narrowly missing a Round Table Knight enveloped in vines, Pei Yan abruptly shifted his path, his body maintaining a backward flight. Yet, his left hand rose, and with the swing of his arm, a condensed line of Primordial Qi whipped from his palm.

After being compressed, the Qi line was only as thick as a nylon rope. Despite the drawback of excessive preparation time, its destructive power far surpassed that of an ordinary Qi slash. Anything the Qi line touched was cleaved in two in an instant, until it came into contact with a Round Table Knight.

With a faint metallic cracking sound, the knight's neck armor broke apart, allowing trickles of blood to seep through. Simultaneously, the Qi line's attack came to a halt, severed by two longswords enveloped in Sword Qi, thrown with force by two Round Table Knights who had broken free of their restraints.

Failed to strike effectively, Pei Yan no longer lingered. He flung a ball of blazing flames, instantly igniting the volatile gases left in his tracks during his wild charge. Amidst an explosive roar, the once-vibrant forest transformed into a sea of fire, with towering flames that dyed half the sky red.

"Heh heh heh, what a spectacular move! Now, I really envy you ability users from the cornerstone plane. Abilities! They are such a convenient power, allowing for the release of such powerful skills without the need for prolonged practice and magic incantation. Perhaps you are the true darlings of the heavens." Facing the siblings, Pei Yan and Pei Jin, who bypassed obstructions and came before him, Flamel wasn't anxious. Instead, he looked past them at Xia Yu in the distance continuously releasing torrents of iron flow into the sea of flames.

After a moment of reflection, he turned his gaze back, glancing at Pei Yan before taunting, "You siblings should be the strongest combat force of this team. Yet, you've abandoned your companions, letting them face double the enemies alone. Aren't you someone who has always valued your companions' lives very dearly? Is this really the right thing to do now?"
