Chapter 1401: Fight to the Death

Chapter 1401: Chapter 1401: Fight to the Death

The speed of erosion was much faster than before; not only that, even when his body released high temperatures, it couldn’t completely eliminate it. The remnants on the surface of his body seemed to merge with his body; even if charred and carbonized, a tiny residue would continue to grow, hard to eradicate. Pei Yan looked at the blood-colored flowers continuously suppressed and blooming on his chest and made a judgment.

No more hesitation, Delacuri should be at his limits now. It’s time to use his ultimate skill and fight the opponent to the death. Pei Yan made up his mind to step back and evade the opponent’s attack. He then shifted his thoughts and merged the two Divine Artifacts in his hand into one, turning them into a long spear. As the Thunder Dragon Tendon adhered to the spear’s body, three realistic five-clawed golden dragons emerged on the previously dark-golden spear body. The three dragons intertwined and spiraled upwards, with their heads guarding exactly where the spearhead was. Their presence made the Divine Spear surge with thunder, elevating its power to a new level.

"Thunder Observation Eight Techniques, Wind Rise!"

Pei Yan twisted his body, shouted explosively, and thrust out with the long spear in his hand. In an instant, the world changed color; after several rounds of battle, the basic array was already nearly destroyed. The independent space that lost its ability to alter weather was now influenced by the spear technique, forming a mass of thunderclouds that covered the sky and blocked the sun. Meanwhile, the Blood Kingdom once summoned by Delacuri was thoroughly depleted of its remaining power after being covered by the thunderclouds. Under a dozen lightning strikes, the shattered red moon broke into pieces and fell from the sky.

Connected with the Divine Artifact, Delacuri also felt a certain degree of backlash, but he had no time for heartache because Pei Yan’s long spear was already at the gates!

Bang!

Upon contact, even as Delacuri intentionally tried to guide the spearhead to change its target, the powerful body of the Blood Race Prince instantly turned into a pool of blood mist with a crackling sound. This spear’s powerful force, infused with Purification Power, first shattered Delacuri’s defense. At the same time, resonating abilities that fused three vibrations directly broke down the opponent’s body. Simultaneously, Liu Family’s stacking force entered his body, and the violent thunder-based abilities, supported by Thunder Observation Eight Techniques, instantly vaporized the floating blood mist in the air, rendering it impossible to condense back to its original form.

It’s just one move, yet it possesses such destructiveness. While Delacuri was shocked and terrified, he also saw the truth behind this astonishing power: it consumes vast amounts of energy. He immediately made the judgment that this move couldn’t be withstood head-on; he could only avoid its edge. Once the move passed, without needing to attack himself, Pei Yan would exhaust himself and be defeated.

Thinking this, Delacuri’s figure quickly retreated, while at the same time, a large number of blood-colored bats swarmed from his wounds and quickly formed blood walls, hoping to stop Pei Yan’s offensive. As long as he got a moment to breathe, he would use short-distance space jumps to distance himself and maneuver around Pei Yan.

Boom!

Before the blood-colored walls could completely solidify, they were blasted into crumbs by Pei Yan’s immediately following spear move. The aftermath of the spear move’s power even pierced through the wall into his body. Despite the turbulent Qi Blood inside him, Delacuri endured and successfully created a bit of distance in this brief moment. Just when he was ready to retreat, he was shocked to find that his body was standing still, unable to move!

Space Lock? No! He hadn’t sensed any fluctuations of a Space Lock. Glancing sideways, Delacuri discovered the problem: his shadow!

His shadow had been unknowingly controlled and fixed in place by Pei Yan, who used this technique during the Sword Discussion Conference. But by now, it was too late to react, as Pei Yan’s first spear technique’s final move had already struck his chest.

Boom!

"For the sixth time! Clouds Surge!" Watching Delacuri explode into powder before him and feeling his aura reforming behind him, Pei Yan grinned savagely, turned around, and unleashed the next move of the Thunder Observation Eight Techniques.

"Go to hell!" Cornered, Delacuri was also driven to extreme anger and madness. With this raging roar echoing through the venue, Delacuri’s eyes were fully stained blood-red, with blood veins bulging at the corners of his eyes and forehead.

"Ugh! Uh–Ah!" This transformation almost caused Pei Yan to stumble and fall, his footsteps faltering as he attacked. Under the gaze of those blood-red eyes, Pei Yan felt as if boiling water was within him, violently bubbling. He could sense it’s the condition triggered by the boiling of the latent blood within his body; not only was the blood burning, but his heart was also under attack.

If it were anyone else, this single attack would be enough to cause a Heavenly Dao Expert to fall. Even though Pei Yan had extraordinary talent, he suffered a significant impact, with blood streaming from his seven orifices while he tasted sweetness in his throat, spitting out a mouthful of fresh blood inside his faceplate.

From afar, Delacuri smelled the scent of blood like a shark. His neck flushed with excitement as he flipped his wrist toward Pei Yan. The fresh blood, just flowing inside Pei Yan’s faceplate and yet to coagulate, was manipulated by Delacuri to become his weapon. In an instant, the blood condensed into scarlet steel needles, piercing Pei Yan’s cheeks.

"Ah!"

Having endured much suffering and torture, Pei Yan couldn’t help but scream in pain at this moment. When the crimson steel needles pierced his skin, Pei Yan felt as if someone had splashed him with scalding hot water. His skin began to quickly redden, blister, and fester. If anyone could see Pei Yan’s face beneath the faceplate now, they would be so terrified by the monstrous visage as to have nightmares for days.

"Set the self-monitoring level to the highest. You’re to take over all my body’s restoration and internal monitoring, doing everything possible to suppress my internal injuries." After instructing Suzi, Pei Yan disregarded his injuries, roared with anger, leapt forward, and resumed the spear move he had interrupted.

During this process, Delacuri tried every possible means to desperately block Pei Yan’s offensive, while Pei Yan, by relying on his powerful self-healing ability and the assistance of the artificial intelligence in his mind, pressed down his injuries and pursued the attack.

"Seventh time! Initial Thunder!"

After the second move, another Blood Servant Puppet of Delacuri was consumed!

"Aging!"

Taking Pei Yan’s third spear technique directly, with most of his body destroyed, Delacuri seized the moment to release a blood arrow from within, piercing Pei Yan’s body surface.

Pei Yan initially thought it was the same kind of blood-colored tube that eroded his body and was about to ignore it, letting his mind’s Suzi handle it. But the next second, he felt a wave of weakness spreading throughout his body. Aging? In his mind flashed Delacuri’s words earlier; was it a kind of death magic from the Hell Plane’s Demon Race meant to rapidly age and decay his body? No! At their level, apart from experts specializing in this and using Power of Origin in death, it’s difficult for others to cause substantial harm with such death magic. It’s the blood! It’s still the blood! He is accelerating the aging of his bloodline.
