Iron walls descended one after another, and groups of demon race soldiers, like madmen, surged towards Sifuer, swiftly forming a human wall and completing crystallization, while Pei Yan couldn't care about much else, and three light screens fell on the outer perimeter of the iron wall.

As soon as this was set up, an intense energy slash was emitted from the last armored warrior's fingertips, the powerful force tore through the air leaving a deep furrow on the ground, seeing the attack power Pei Yan couldn't help but break into a cold sweat, praying that his light screens alone would be enough to transfer this attack elsewhere.

However, reality slapped Pei Yan hard in the face, the light screens that had proven their worth many times in Ye Jiumu's hands were unable to swallow the incoming energy slash into the space, the light screens trembled slightly and with a bang dissipated into light shadows scattered across the sky.

Bang! Bang! Bang! After three consecutive light screens shattered, Pei Yan learned for the first time that once this ability was broken, a backlash would ensue, despite being in a mechanical state he felt a sharp pain in his chest, with blood threads continuously seeping from his mouth and nose.

In the mere span of a breath, the energy slash had collided with Xiayu's iron wall, no ear-piercing clash sound, no earth-shattering momentum, the thick iron wall was sliced open as easily as a sheet of paper, one after another was on the verge of breaking through Xiayu's defensive line.

"Can't withstand it head-on! Xiayu, change the angle of the iron wall! I'll redirect it!" At this moment, Pei Yan didn't care about any confidentiality agreements, directly shouting in plain speech, and as soon as he finished speaking, he no longer worried about the equipment in his space, charging straight to the front line with nine light screens containing electromagnetic cannons descending from the sky to impede the enemy's attack force.

"Don't just stand there stupidly, help Mr. Shitang's subordinates, reinforce the iron wall she released with crystallization to increase defense power!" Bailang commanded loudly, leading a group of flustered men on the outskirts struggling to get inside, while standing in front of Sifuer's horse, taking several deep breaths, his demon horns glowed red as his eyes turned red, his stature continuously expanding, and in no time a giant over ten meters tall, clad in heavy armor and fully crystallized, stood in front of Sifuer.

Following Pei Yan's instruction, Xiayu immediately adapted the iron wall defense method, from an upright blocking wall to a forty-five-degree upward arc-shaped iron wall, just as she finished setting up, Pei Yan's light screens were shattered another three times, but this series of interceptions finally reduced the energy slash's offensive momentum, under Pei Yan's deliberate guidance the attack direction subtly shifted.

Thump! A dull sound as the energy slash cut through the crystallized-enveloped iron wall, dozens of demon soldiers responsible for crystallizing with their hands on the iron wall along with the shattered iron wall were ground into powder, but their sacrifice undoubtedly increased Sifuer's survival chances, the energy slash's direction shifted once again.

Seeing success, Pei Yan and Xiayu immediately repeated the process, and after shattering three more light screens and one iron wall, the energy slash's attack direction was completely altered, slicing diagonally past Sifuer from above.

Even so, the aftermath of its destructive power was significant, in order to protect Sifuer's safety, Bailang, transformed into a giant, directly turned around and shielded Sifuer beneath him with his body, the energy slash grazed his back, biting his teeth and groaning, the crystallized armor on his back cut open, leaving a long bloodstain on his back.

Boom! The energy slash finally reached its destination after skimming past Sifuer from above, as the dust settled everyone looked towards the sound with gaping expressions of disbelief, the large mound was cleaved in half by the energy slash as if chopped by an axe or knife, the cut smooth and neat.

Bleeding from the mouth and nose, Pei Yan glanced back at the last armored warrior inside the array, he had long lost his signs of life, his entire body began to disintegrate from the inside out, a breeze swept over turning him into a pile of red powder dissipating before Pei Yan's eyes.

"Pfft!" Spitting out a mouthful of old blood, from the armored warrior's attack initiation to now was less than three minutes, having shattered nine light screens made him profoundly aware of the Disaster Legion, concurrently his body endured significant backlash power, now that the battle had ended he could no longer hold himself up, his body weakened and knees hitting the ground.

Amidst the clamoring of countless people running by, besides his companions no one cared about Pei Yan, the chief hero who saved Sifuer, everyone rushed towards the center of this battle, checking on Sifuer's life and safety.

"MD! A bunch of ingrates!" Zhao Yuanhu cradled Pei Yan, taking out a handkerchief to gently wipe the blood seeping from his mouth and nose, gritting his teeth with hatred while looking at the distant demon race.

"Exactly, MD! If it wasn't for the mission, we wouldn't care about her life or death!" Xiayu kicked a stone flying beside her, then looked back at Ye Ruozai who was holding Pei Yan's wrist and asked with concern: "Ye, how is he?"

"Suffering from a backlash of his own ability, not a major issue, resting for a few days to recompose will suffice, a pity I'm not Elder Lin, if he were here to personally adjust the internal chaos, Pei Yan might recover soon." Ye Ruozai responded with regret and self-blame.

The first to react and inquire about Pei Yan's condition was the rescued Lord Sifuer herself, after the attacking armored warrior disintegrated, the magic confining her body naturally disappeared, though she had been stiff and unable to move, she felt everything that happened externally.

Three minutes felt like a long year to her, upon regaining freedom she breathed in the fresh air deeply, after stabilizing her emotions pushed away her personal guard, first turning dismounted to her uncle, looking at Bailang's restored normal figure and the wound on his back concerned she said: "Uncle, are you okay!"

"Just minor injuries, it's fine! By the time this force swept through it had already dulled significantly." Bailang smiled and shook his arms, as he said despite his blood-soaked back looking severely wounded, the surface injuries had begun healing leaving only a white scar, external wounds entirely healed now only his innards affected needed slow recovery.

"How many did we lose?" Sifuer breathed a sigh of relief seeing her uncle was fine and asked.

"We spent the lives of more than a hundred brave warriors narrowly avoiding this strike." After Bailang said this, including Sifuer, all the surrounding demon race lowered their heads in sorrow, witnessing this scene Bailang patted Sifuer's shoulder to console: "It wasn't your fault, such an attack I've only heard in rumors, extremely rare in all my years of war."

Sifuer nodded in dejection, then asked: "Where is Mr. Shitang?"

Upon hearing this, the gathered demon race froze, coming to realization, even the seasoned Bailang slapped his forehead in an embarrassing outburst: "Damn!"
