Otherworldly Affairs Office-Chapter 565: Battle Again with Lelajin (Request for Subscription)

Blown back by the fierce gale for several hundred meters, Pei Yan finally stabilized himself in mid-air after a few adjustments. He looked towards the far-off collapsing mountain and the chaotic battlefield beneath his feet, his mouth twitching awkwardly. He truly hadn't anticipated that turning the entire big dirt ball into TNT would have such a massive impact.

"Cough, cough, cough, with power this immense, that guy probably doesn't even have bones left!" Elder Lin was coughing incessantly from the burnt-scented heatwave, and after a few deep breaths, he exclaimed with feeling.

Pei Yan squinted his Mechanical Eye, looking towards the night at the expanding mass of mud, speaking in a deep voice: "No, he's still alive!"

Ever since he came to the Hell Plane, a series of battles had completely overturned what Hu Wenjun had told him when he first entered the investigation hall. It might have been due to limits in realm and experience, or perhaps it was to avoid putting too much mental pressure on himself when fighting cultivators from other planes in the future. Hu Instructor's theory that any strong cultivator would perish if they took two missiles head-on had profoundly influenced Pei Yan.

However, the reality was that even the highest-level cultivators might be severely injured by taking two missiles head-on, but as long as they aren't killed instantly, they have countless ways to make a comeback. What a headache! However, it's just as well; if he had died like that, the pent-up frustration in Pei Yan's chest wouldn't have had an outlet.

Thinking of this, Pei Yan blinked, and his silhouette vanished in a flash of light, reappearing the next moment among the Snow Peak Ridge mountains. He quietly watched the mass of mud in front of him gradually regain human form without any intention of intervening.

"You've missed your best chance to kill me; you'll pay for this!" The once-blurry face in the mass of mud began to take shape, and Lelajin rubbed his still-soft and unset face, looking at Pei Yan with venomous eyes and speaking angrily.

"If I could turn you into this twice, there'll be a third and fourth time until you can never recover." Pei Yan said, with his body slightly hunched and fists clenched, preparing an attacking posture while mocking: "Come on, show me what you've got besides your empty boastings!"

"Arrogant brat!" Having been repeatedly humiliated by what was once an ant in his eyes, the thoroughly enraged Lelajin roared, and the demon horns on his head instantly grew several inches. The skin on his entire body was instantly covered with thick scales, then a dark red armor draped over him. On top of this armor, a layer of crystalization defense formed.

"Limit Release, Boundary Breakthrough, Power of the Dragon, Heavy as a Mountain, Light as a Feather, Swift as Lightning, Tenfold Enhancement." Pei Yan simultaneously uttered a string of ability releases from his mouth.

Boom! As Pei Yan uttered the last word, a white and a black silhouette clashed, and with their fists meeting, the surrounding air seemed to be torn apart, causing even the space to distort. Lelajin felt his whole arm numb, his body shivering mightily. After the bloodshattering enhancement, with astonishing defense power, combined with the scales attached post-Demon God Transformation, the armor made from premium materials, and the upper-class top-grade Demon Race Crystalization Power, the quadruply enhanced defense shattered the surface crystallization under Pei Yan's previous bombardment, and cracks started forming on the surface of the hand armor.

Although Lelajin found it hard to accept this change in power in his heart, the battlefield situation did not allow him much time to ponder. Pei Yan's second punch had already struck, and he could only yell out, surging his vital energy around him rapidly to replenish the fractured crystalization surface and engage in a counterattack. Neither was willing to yield an inch, each punch aimed at inflicting harm on the opponent's vital points. For a moment, the thunderous roaring echoed continuously in the sky above the valley, with the two silhouettes engaging in an endless cycle of punches and kicks.

In just a moment, after over a hundred exchanges, Lelajin discovered that he had not only fallen behind in strength but was also gradually losing ground in terms of speed. Pei Yan, already imbued with mutated Lightning Speed, was at the pinnacle of speed, further enhanced by physical modifications from Jiang Donghu and Zheng Jia Ru's abilities, and the Light as a Feather ability from Xia Yu which reduced gravity's influence on him. His speed only increased as the fight dragged on.

Conversely, Lelajin not only had to fight against Pei Yan, whose speed was ever-increasing, but also constantly endured an inexplicable reduction in his own strength. To make matters more frustrating, while Pei Yan reduced gravity on himself when moving, upon landing a punch on Lelajin, he would amplify the gravity instantly. Moreover, Pei Yan even imposed gravity control onto Lelajin's body, causing each punch thrown or kick delivered to consume much more effort than usual.

Given this change over time, from initially being able to exchange blows evenly with Pei Yan, Lelajin gradually could only barely hold on, eventually being overpowered by Pei Yan alone. As he fought, Lelajin found himself getting more and more incensed, knowing that if this continued, he would only end up at Pei Yan's mercy. He couldn't help but let out an enraged roar, gathering all his strength to strike out a punch, temporarily forcing Pei Yan back.

The two figures stood apart on opposite ends, each taking the opportunity to adjust their breathing and recover their strength. Unlike Pei Yan, who appeared calm and composed in his better advantageous position, Lelajin on the other side seemed much more disheveled, with shattered armor fragments unable to maintain their original state under the broken crystalization coating. Large quantities of blood oozed from under the exposed scales, dropping drop by drop from the sky.

Sneering, Lelajin simply reached his hand to tear off the remnant broken armor and casually tossed it into the valley. While demonic qi surged out, mending both his injured body and the crystalized defense on the surface, he kept his gaze firmly locked on Pei Yan not far away, raising both arms, with palms turned into claws virtually clasped together. A strong airflow rapidly formed between his claws, surging continuously in his palm.

"Gu Chu, take the people far from here and return to the central army to set up defensive measures." Pei Yan issued this reminder through his headset before dashing directly towards Lelajin.

Seeing Pei Yan initiate an attack, Lelajin kept his hand position steady while continuing to charge power, retreating rapidly while countless arrows formed from rolling demonic qi aimed at Pei Yan in an attempt to delay his aggression.

"Teleport!" Pei Yan lightly called out as a flash of light surrounded him, and his body immediately disappeared on the spot, reappearing behind Lelajin.

Having long locked onto Pei Yan's aura, Lelajin made a quick movement at Pei Yan's sudden reappearance, the compressed and condensed energy slash between his claws swinging out forcefully.

Feeling the terrifying momentum coming directly at him, Pei Yan immediately sensed that this attack was over ten times stronger than the energy slashes previously flicked out by Lelajin's fingers. He prepared to use his left eye's teleportation once more to dodge the move but found he couldn't activate his abilities no matter where he looked, as if a wall of air blocked the entire surrounding space.

Realizing there was no way to avoid it, the inherent ruthlessness within Pei Yan surged. As he retreated, he shouted loudly, and the heavily devastated land below erupted with a thunderous bang, sending countless earth fragments flying into the air, forming block after block of stone walls to intercept the energy slash's attack.

"Iron Wall!" Fully aware that this energy slash was no ordinary attack, Pei Yan swung his arms, sending out a flood of iron that merged with the stone walls, reinforcing their defensive strength.

Boom! Boom! Boom! The steel-infused walls met the energy slash, and instantly crumbled, stones blasting apart as wall after wall shattered into dust before the energy slash, a total of seventeen iron walls turning to powder in its path.
