Chapter 1399: Chapter 1399: Lethal Moves Unleashed

"Are you hoping for the blood poison injected into me to activate? Is this your trump card?" Facing Pei Yan’s pretentious attitude, Delacuri seemed rather disdainful and preemptively spoke out before the other could respond.

This answer caught Pei Yan by surprise. He furrowed his brows and asked back, "You noticed?"

"The moment you injected that thing into my body through a bullet, I noticed it. Pei Yan, no matter how arrogant you are, don’t forget that your opponent is the Clan Leader of the Vlad family. That Du Guangyuan is just a pawn, a puppet I casually placed in your world. When it comes to using the Secret Techniques of the Blood Race, he can’t even match up to a Marquis-level Blood Race. How could I not detect the blood poison he designed?" Delacuri said as he rubbed his forehead with his fingers and sighed, "However, the talent of that person indeed exceeded my expectations. I did underestimate him a bit. If I had taken him under my wing and taught him my clan’s Secret Techniques carefully back then, his achievements might not have been limited to this."

"You absorbed your companion’s life to enhance yourself, but you also absorbed the radiation that eroded his body. Yet, I can’t feel such changes from you now. You’ve used a damage transfer magic! Did you also transfer away the blood poison? Was it a Divine Artifact?" Whether the blood poison truly couldn’t harm the other as claimed, Pei Yan was skeptical and cautiously asked back.

"I would gladly chat with you here to delay time, but aren’t you in a hurry to vent your anger on me? Is it really wise to keep testing me while standing still? Or despite claiming you’re infuriated, are you actually a coward who doesn’t dare to attack without all the enemy’s information?"

"How do you know I haven’t attacked?"

Boom!

In response to Delacuri’s taunting and provoking words was a tiny, almost inaudible cracking sound, followed by Delacuri’s body stiffening, twisting, and expanding. Then, with a roar, he exploded into a mass of blood mist from the inside out.

"Did you hide tiny Mechanical Puppets inside Rusfan, anticipating I would absorb and merge with him? No matter, such an attack can’t cause me any loss."

After the explosion shock ended, Pei Yan released Nanomechanical Insects, which invaded Rusfan, who was severely injured and unguarded. Originally, Pei Yan intended to use them when both of them attacked him together, creating a surprise effect. Unexpectedly, Rusfan was absorbed by Delacuri, and while the latter was busy sorting out the internal contamination, he didn’t notice this point, allowing Pei Yan to exploit the gap.

"Fusion with the Killing Puppet allows me not to suppress my desire for slaughter, letting the artificial intelligence take over the anomaly checks of my body and stimulate my consciousness to quickly recover after the battle." Pei Yan gave this order to Suzi in his mind before quickly merging with the Celestial Secret Pavilion’s remaining Divine Artifact Mechanical Puppet. This pushed Pei Yan to his peak state without merging while his consciousness was affected by the Killing Puppet, making him cruel and bloodthirsty.

Having previous experience from merging during the finals of the Sword Discussion Conference, Pei Yan completed the fusion with the Killing Puppet in a breath, appearing in front of Delacuri, whose body had not yet fully recovered, in the next second.

"Chaotic Slash!"

With a light leap, Pei Yan pressed Delacuri’s forehead with his hand, and with a quiet shout, unleashed an attack perfectly matching the name of the move, sending hundreds of Sword Qi cutting wildly at the target from the cracks in his palm and Mecha surface.

At such close range and faced with such a dense barrage of Sword Qi, Delacuri had no space to dodge. In the blink of an eye, his body was shattered into pieces.

"Web!" Once Pei Yan started attacking, he gave the opponent no room to breathe. After the Sword Qi slashed through, a dense web composed of source energy was cast toward Delacuri’s body remnants. This time, the web was not only mixed with fine lines from two Divine Artifacts but also overlaid with a layer of electric abilities on the wire surface by Pei Yan. Therefore, when this big net contacted Delacuri’s body, the source energy lines first destroyed the remaining source energy defense on the opponent’s surface. Subsequently, the electric prowess paralyzed Delacuri’s body, and then the source energy web fell to cut the body as a whole.

After such a sequence of attacks, Delacuri’s true visage was completely unrecognizable. Before Pei Yan lay a pile of finely sliced muck, yet even in such a state, the mud continued to writhe, still trying to gather at a center and reshape into a human form.

Surprised by Delacuri’s tenacious vitality, Pei Yan did not stop attacking. He aimed his hands at the cluster of the creature in front of him, releasing two scorching beams of light from his palms, akin to spraying insecticide to finish the extermination of Delacuri.

Boom!

What was supposed to turn to ashes under Pei Yan’s fiery assault resulted in a crisp detonation, transforming Delacuri into a wisp of blood mist. Hearing this, Pei Yan halted his action, turning his head to see an intact, slightly panting Delacuri reappear behind him.

"Heh heh heh, if my calculations are correct, this is your fourth time transferring away your damage, isn’t it? How many more opportunities like this do you have? One? Two? Five?" Pei Yan, seeing the returned Delacuri, showed no surprise, eagerly speculating on how many more lives his opponent had.

"Heh heh, it’s been years! It’s been years since I’ve encountered someone crazier than me. Very well! Let’s see who survives to the end." Spurred by Pei Yan’s provocation, Delacuri charged towards Pei Yan with a roar after these words.

"Chaotic Slash!"

The same old tactic of unreasonable Sword Qi hacking, but this time, the Sword Qi didn’t hit the target. Before they could reach, Delacuri dissolved into a mist of blood, which quickly navigated through the crisscrossing Sword Qi region. Seeing this, Pei Yan employed ultra-fast movement to evade the mist’s corruption while unleashing high-temperature fire columns with both hands to eradicate the blood mist-form opponent.

Yet, what Pei Yan hadn’t foreseen was this layer of blood mist, as if having set a beacon on himself, teleported in front of Pei Yan’s movement path even before he could attack. After colliding with Pei Yan head-on, the blood mist swept over Pei Yan’s body, quickly forming into Delacuri’s figure.

"Absorbing the Blood Race’s blood will be your gravest mistake. No matter where you go, you’ll become my target for tracking and suppression." As Delacuri spoke, opening and closing his palm, the protective source energy surrounding Pei Yan underwent drastic changes. The once light blue protective energy was wholly invaded by the blood hue in an instant, turning blood red. Following the initial invasion, Pei Yan’s body surface began undergoing transformations.
