Chapter 507: Chapter 309: Yuwen’s Worry and Rage, the Electromagnetic Mystery (Part 2)

After each volley, these Spider Demons would weaken before throwing themselves into the front lines.

Once an advantage was gained in the 7th-rank battle, they would then assist in the fight between the Grandmasters. While they couldn’t charge in directly, they could still play a supporting role by causing distractions.

The dynamics of the battlefield were thus clear. The ground forces fought for control so they could support the 7th-rank combatants. Gaining an advantage there would, in turn, allow them to aid the Grandmaster-level battle.

Information streamed through the Void Clearing Mirror, and Yu Fei quickly grasped the details of the situation.

Without further delay, countless commands were transmitted through the mental network. The two hundred-plus Martial Artists of the Celestial Pride Class were like a red-hot knife slicing through frozen butter; in an instant, swathes of Spider Demons waiting in the rear vanished.

Moreover, Yu Fei had issued a Fog Pine Stone beacon to every classmate. If they encountered danger, Yu Fei would be able to rescue them immediately.

As for himself, he stood at the very front, clearing a path with his vast and mighty, immeasurable Sword Qi.

Since he was leading the Celestial Pride Class into battle, he had to strive for victory and the complete annihilation of the Yuan Demons. His conflict with Yu Wen Baji could be put aside for now. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

But putting it aside didn’t mean letting him off the hook. He would have to pay for his actions eventually.

The Celestial Pride Class’s main role on the battlefield was to break through and crush the Spider Demon Corps. This would prevent them from interfering with the Grandmaster battlefield high above and allow the human side’s energy weapons to support the high-rank battles, gradually securing an advantage.

Besides, with exceptionally powerful fighters like Feng Hua, they could hold their own for a while even if a 7th-rank Yuan Demon attacked them, and there was a high probability of turning the tables and killing it instead.

If a large number of 7th-rank Yuan Demons entered the fray, the human side’s Grandmasters were no pushovers either.

In past battles, the Celestial Pride Class had been used as the tip of the spear on the ground. When the high-rank battle reached a stalemate, they were needed to secure an advantage on the ground to clinch victory.

Yu Fei cleared the path with his immeasurable Sword Qi, rampaging across the battlefield. The Celestial Pride Class followed, sweeping out to both sides. Viewed from above, they looked like a serrated sword, and wherever they passed, the Spider Demons vanished into thin air. In just ten minutes, a corner of the ground battlefield had been cleared.

Yu Fei didn’t lead his unit toward the human front line. That area was too close to the main battlefield. If a high-rank Yuan Demon, frenzied from the fighting, were to attack them, the danger would be considerable. After all, most of the students in Jiang Nianwei’s group were only at the Divine Realm.

However, Yu Fei and his team soon ran into trouble. His perception picked up two 8th-rank Yuan Demons charging toward them, followed by dozens of 7th-rank ones.

They weren’t stupid. The last time they sent an 8th-rank combatant and many 7th-rank ones as reinforcements, Yu Fei’s group still managed to break through.

If conditions permitted, they would have wanted to deploy even more forces. Unfortunately, pulling two 8th-rank combatants from the main front was already their limit.

Yu Fei warned Feng Hua and the others to be careful over the mental network. A streak of Sword Qi shot across the sky, killing three Spider Demons blocking the path as he moved to intercept the two 8th-rank Yuan Demons.

Wei Mo and his men were keeping a close eye on Feng Hua’s group. Unfortunately, they only had the natural perceptive abilities granted by their cultivation realms and didn’t have a clear picture of the situation from afar. It wasn’t until Wang Kai transmitted the latest information that they noticed a young man on the battlefield who wasn’t yet a Grandmaster.

"Who is that?"

Wei Mo was at a loss. He didn’t recognize Yu Fei.

The Guardian teams weren’t assigned to a single class. They went on missions wherever they were needed.

Yu Wen Baji was the first to react. He recognized Yu Fei.

After all, the two had crossed paths before. Plus, someone had approached him, telling him to find an opportunity to fight Yu Fei. This was one of the conditions for helping him seize control of the Celestial Tiger Corps.

"Yu Fei? Is he insane?"

Yu Wen Baji had originally scoffed at the request to fight Yu Fei. ’A junior two years behind me, worthy of being my opponent?’

But now, as he watched Yu Fei charge like a lightning bolt toward the two 8th-rank Yuan Demons, a guess began to form in his mind.

’What if... Yu Fei really does have the strength to fight me?’

’With that kind of strength, breaking through Matie Road would be a piece of cake!’

’Damn it! I’ll deal with you after this battle is over!’

Yu Wen Baji had never paid Yu Fei any mind, never imagining his own plans would be thrown into such disarray.

He immediately launched an even fiercer assault on the three 8th-rank Yuan Demons surrounding him.

Yu Fei was completely unaware of this. With his prior experience fighting an 8th-rank Yuan Demon, he was much more comfortable this time.

Especially on this vast battlefield, Yu Fei had already chosen his combat zone. He wouldn’t go to high altitudes, but would fight in the low-altitude range—the area below five hundred meters.

Seeing the enemy about to attack, the Great Sun Sword Seal on Yu Fei’s forehead suddenly lit up. An ocean of immeasurable Sword Qi appeared in the void, densely packing the entire sky.

Then, it plunged down toward the sword-wielding Yuan Demon in front!

This time, the amount of Sword Qi he summoned was countless, covering nearly a thousand meters of the sky.

Although such a vast amount of Sword Qi looked imposing, it had little effect on an 8th-rank Yuan Demon.

But Yu Fei’s goal wasn’t to harm the enemy, but to lay down a Teleportation Field.

When fighting an 8th-rank Yuan Demon, mobility was more important than killing power.

The enemy had countless chances to make a mistake, but Yu Fei only had one.

If he took even a single hit, he would be severely injured, if not killed.

The dark blue sword blade was covered in sharp Sword Qi. In an instant, he circled the towering 8th-rank Yuan Demon, dealing a massive amount of damage.

Caught off guard by Yu Fei’s impossibly fast, space-penetrating blade, the 8th-rank Yuan Demon was struck several times in an instant.

’A pity...’

The enemy reacted too quickly, protecting its vitals immediately. He wasn’t able to press his advantage.

Just like the Yuan Demon from Matie Road, once it realized it couldn’t defend against his attacks, it began to unleash indiscriminate, wide-area attacks.

However, this had little effect on Yu Fei, who had already laid out his Teleportation Field and was continuously strengthening his own aura.

At this moment, the other 8th-rank Yuan Demon, the one holding a zither, arrived late. Its speed was somewhat slower.

"Hm?"

Yu Fei froze. He even stopped his attack and temporarily withdrew from the battlefield, watching the two 8th-rank Yuan Demons from the side with suspicion and uncertainty.

Just a moment ago, Yu Fei had actually felt an electromagnetic wave from them!

’This? How is that possible?’

Even if the Yuan Demon race wasn’t made of flesh and blood, they were at least a product of similar biotechnology. So how could this thing be emitting electromagnetic waves like the mechanical bodies from the Heavenly Palace Ruins?

Although the wave was extremely faint and had a very short transmission range, it was unmistakably an electromagnetic wave.

After acquiring the special talent [Electromagnetic Induction] in the Heavenly Palace Ruins, no electromagnetic wave could escape his perception.

Furthermore, Yu Fei discovered that the electromagnetic waves between the 8th-rank Yuan Demons were being actively generated, and were very faint and covert.

Yu Fei remembered clearly from his general studies class that most human technology, including electromagnetic devices, couldn’t be used in the Borderlands.

But why could the Yuan Demons use electromagnetism? They weren’t mechanical bodies, and he couldn’t see any related equipment on them.

Among the Yuan Demon race, apart from the Spider Demons’ innate Biological Energy Guns which looked technologically advanced, the rest of their weapons and armor were old-fashioned in style and hadn’t changed in years.

Besides those, he had never seen any other technological creations.

So why were they generating electromagnetic waves?

’Don’t tell me these things are mechanical bodies too? This is neither martial arts nor science!’

Seeing the electromagnetic waves between the two become more frequent, the zither-wielding Yuan Demon actually tried to bypass Yu Fei and directly attack Feng Hua and the others. Meanwhile, the numerous 7th-rank Yuan Demons in the rear spread out to surround Yu Fei.

’That’s not happening!’

Yu Fei’s eyes turned cold. He temporarily suppressed his doubts and, with a flash of his sword, brought both 8th-rank Yuan Demons into his attack range. He darted left and right, high and low, hacking at them with the ferocity of a sudden storm.

’Trying to run? You think you can get away?’

He was not like an ordinary Martial Artist. Once his Teleportation Field was deployed, the number and position of his enemies made no difference to him.

Whether it was one 8th-rank Yuan Demon or two, or even ten, it made no difference to him today.

In an instant, countless wounds burst open on both of them. Seeing the zither-wielding Yuan Demon protecting its vitals from the very beginning, Yu Fei concluded that they must have used electromagnetic waves to communicate secretly.
