Chapter 1402: Dead End

Chapter 1402: Chapter 1402: Dead End

Delacuri caused his own blood to lose vitality, becoming thick and stagnant like that of an elderly person, while accelerating the aging of his blood. At that moment, Pei Yan truly felt the terror of Delacuri. If it weren’t for his mechanical abilities providing some resistance against the Blood Race’s spells, he probably would have been defeated by the varied forms of attack long ago.

Just as Pei Yan was struggling to resist the dual torture of boiling and aging blood in his body and preparing to launch another attack, he suddenly felt his right eyelid twitch and a severe headache spread throughout his body. His offensive instantly weakened. Seeing Pei Yan’s strange state, Delacuri was overjoyed, hurriedly using spells to launch a series of counterattacks against Pei Yan.

Pei Yan, struck repeatedly by his opponent, was now in a very peculiar state. On one hand, he was tormented by the Blood Race’s spells beyond endurance. On the other hand, Delacuri’s series of blood-based attacks had unexpectedly triggered an accelerated fusion of various bloodline powers within him. Since forcibly absorbing the Power of Origin from both the Dao and Magic planes, the seal on his right eye had loosened slightly, and the fusion process of the bloodlines within him was immediately digested by more than half.

It could be said that Pei Yan was experiencing both pain and joy. In his heart, he even hoped Delacuri would attack his soul more fiercely, so that in an instant, the two great Powers of Origin would be completely mastered, allowing his own strength to no longer be suppressed. However, reason told him he couldn’t let this continue. If he allowed Delacuri to deepen his control over Pei Yan’s bloodline, he would not gain from disaster but suffer from excess.

With these thoughts flashing through his mind, Pei Yan quickly readjusted his state and launched an onslaught against Delacuri with unstoppable momentum. Just moments before, delighting in the success of his spells, Delacuri suddenly realized that Pei Yan’s aura had not diminished but instead, after a short breath, burst forth with a presence comparable to that of the Master of Origin. This aura was completely different from his own fake power borrowed from the Candle Dragon; he truly saw the majesty of the Master of Origin descending upon Pei Yan.

"The eighth time! Awakening of Insects!"

Using the fourth spear technique, the long spear in Pei Yan’s hand shone with thunderous light, resembling a dragon entering the sea. As he wielded it, the sounds of dragon roars and thunder were continuous. Meanwhile, Delacuri’s damage transfer could only remove bodily injuries but couldn’t alter his state, so the layered force from the previous three spear moves of the Liu Family had been stacking inside him, reaching the ninth level at this moment!

The damage from nine layers combined with the Thunder Breathing Technique’s attack on his heart, paired with the purification, vibration, and spatial tear effects contained within the spear moves, as well as the Heaven and Earth Net Pei Yan occasionally set with Origin Energy lines during his spear movements, all these effects combined caused Delacuri’s body to be blown apart into pieces just as Pei Yan executed the first move of the fourth style.

"The ninth time!"

"Damn it! Pei Yan, you’re still entangled with me! Don’t you know that the headquarters of your Investigation Bureau has already been broken through by the Bloodchase? If you rush back now, there’s still time! If you wait any longer, once the Bloodchase extracts information on your parents’ whereabouts from the captives, you’ll regret it for the rest of your life."

This time, Delacuri, who purposely chose a place far from Pei Yan for rebirth, was truly scared of getting killed. There was only one Blood Servant stored in the Divine Artifact left for transferring damage, and he could only forcibly regenerate once more using his own spells. In other words, he had two more chances to be killed by Pei Yan. If he continued, he himself would really fall here. Because of this, he had no choice but to reveal the Bloodchase’s plan completely, hoping to disrupt Pei Yan’s thoughts, making him too preoccupied to bother with Delacuri, giving him a chance to escape this damned cage. Once away from this space, he would have the freedom of the sky and ocean, escaping Pei Yan’s grasp would be exceedingly difficult. After breaking free, the first thing he planned to do was to directly activate the Blood Curse to kill Ye Jiumu, avenging his grievances. As for the lives of his two sons, Delacuri could no longer care!

Hearing these words, Pei Yan’s expression grew curious, and his offensive noticeably slowed. Seeing this, Delacuri quickly tempted him: "Let me go and we can still proceed with our transaction. We can..."

Bang!

Before Delacuri could finish his words, the phantom of Pei Yan standing at the original spot vanished. In the next moment, the long spear pierced Delacuri’s throat, and then his body lit up with a scorching red light followed by a loud explosion. Delacuri was blown to smithereens from the inside out.

"The tenth time!" Pei Yan’s cold, merciless voice reverberated within the independent space after the explosion rang out.

"You madman! Don’t you care about your family at all? Don’t you care about their lives?" Delacuri, upon reforming his body, roared at Pei Yan.

This time, Pei Yan didn’t continue the pursuit. He retracted his spear techniques and looked at Delacuri, who was red with anger, and sneered: "Hearing such questions from someone who disregards his children’s lives is truly ironic! But it also reveals one thing: your spell transfer is nearly exhausted, right! You’re anxious! You’re anxious! Hahaha!"

Facing Pei Yan’s mockery, Delacuri’s face turned red. He wanted to refute but was stunned into silence by what Pei Yan said next. He heard Pei Yan continue mocking, "If what you said truly happened, me giving up my deadly chance to kill you and going back to help, would it make a difference? Moreover, what you mentioned never happened."

"What did you say? Did their mission fail?" Delacuri, though understanding the implication in Pei Yan’s words, unwillingly asked again in self-deception.

"No! Can’t you understand what I’m saying? There was no mission at all! Since you entered this space, no one attacked the Investigation Bureau’s headquarters." With that, Pei Yan revealed a corner of his mask, showing his left eye, and looked at Delacuri with a pitiful gaze, shaking his head and laughing: "I don’t know what promise Bloodchase made to you, but it seems you’ve been deceived."

Delacuri wanted to refute Pei Yan, claiming he was lying, but seeing Pei Yan calm and unperturbed, he knew Pei Yan wasn’t lying! He had been used as bait to trap Pei Yan and had been abandoned.

The original plan was for him to attract Pei Yan’s attention, while Jue Liunian and others held the Investigation Bureau’s main forces at the trade negotiations. The real killer move was to secretly send Bloodchase’s elite forces from various planes to take advantage of the Investigation Bureau headquarters’ vulnerability in the absence of the Child of Origin and most of Heavenly Dao. Under the leadership of multiple Heavenly Dao peak experts, the elite squad could easily take over the headquarters like prey.
