Chapter 1443: Twisted Pei Yan

Chapter 1443: Chapter 1443: Twisted Pei Yan

"Still pretending? Your family is already wiped out! I killed your three sons one by one, including that bedridden waste! Director Mei!" Holding Du Ping’an, who was once again frightened to tears by himself, Pei Yan roared hysterically and finally shouted at Mei Simiao.

Upon hearing this, Mei Simiao stepped forward, retrieved Moira’s body from the ring, and placed it alongside the corpses of Radu and the eldest son of Delacuri, which were found in the Vlad Clan castle. Pei Yan dragged Du Ping’an in front of the three, pressing him onto Radu’s blood-drained corpse, continued to bellow, "Come on! Doesn’t it look familiar? You should be happy they are dead, as they were once your tormentors! Or does it actually break your heart? How do you feel seeing your son’s corpse?"

Everyone stared wide-eyed at the scene before them. Pei Yan now seemed like a madman plunged into insanity, forcing a child, who was crying nearly to the point of fainting, onto a corpse, while disparagingly squeezing the corpse’s face and bombarding with sarcastic and mocking words.

Under such intimidation, the child finally couldn’t endure anymore, fainting from lack of breath. Yet Pei Yan showed no sympathy, casually grabbing a chair, sitting down, and looking up at Jiang Feiyang, shouting, "Wake him up!"

Even Jiang Feiyang, usually carefree in his actions, showed signs of compassion. The first to feel pity were the few girls in the team, including Liang Qian and Xia Yu, who hesitated and thought about stepping forward to persuade him. But as soon as they opened their mouths, Pei Yan’s fierce gaze swept over them, clearly expressing not to meddle in this matter.

Seeing no one plead, Jiang Feiyang walked up and murmured, "How do I wake him up?"

"Do I need to teach you? Splash water! Dunk him!" Pei Yan snorted coldly, with no politeness.

"Alright! Who asked me to owe you!" Jiang Feiyang sighed, stepped forward, while reluctantly but swiftly, taking out bottles of mineral water from the ring, pouring them over the child’s head. When one bottle didn’t wake him, another was used, until the water choked him, and he woke up coughing hard. Only then did Jiang Feiyang push him over to Pei Yan.

"Cough cough cough!"

Pei Yan watched the kneeling, incessantly coughing Du Ping’an, refraining from further torture and instead dragged his chair closer, bending over to press his head against the child’s forehead, grinning, "Well! A good act you put up! Still pretending, are you? Hmm! Perhaps it’s not pretend but some restriction you’ve set, keeping your consciousness hidden away from my detection? Hahaha, I must say you almost fooled me."

Pei Yan straightened his back, took a cigarette from the pack, lit it, inhaled deeply, and exhaled the smoke onto the child’s bewildered, terrified face. He continued, "I have no idea what method you used! Perhaps it’s your repeated injury transfer technique? I always suspected it was a Divine Artifact, but after the fight, I didn’t find this item, only that so-called Blood Divine Country which had turned into waste. I initially thought this Divine Artifact vanished along with your death, but clearly that’s not the case. Seems you had prepared beforehand! This child is your backup?"

Du Guangyuan, cuffed and kneeling to the side, also understood the purpose behind Pei Yan’s series of actions - his son was possessed by Delacuri! No wonder! No wonder! Pei Yan, with his usual temperament and their mutual vendetta, absolutely wouldn’t allow any chance of his enemy’s revival, even if it was just a speculation! His son was doomed.

Unlike the father, who had already guessed the outcome and slumped in despair, Du Ping’an still displayed a bewildered and terrified façade. Pei Yan didn’t rush into putting more pressure, slowly smoking as he said leisurely, "You sealed a part of your soul and consciousness’s core within this child’s body, bound with the injury transfer Divine Artifact. Until the last moment of our fight, you didn’t use this last injury transfer chance, knowing an extra survival opportunity wouldn’t change your doomed fate. So you chose to abandon your life, feigned complete death, leaving no flaws for me to discover. Just before I defeated you, you destroyed memories about the Divine Artifact mixed with blood essence."

Saying this, Pei Yan leaned back, crossing his legs atop the chair, lamenting, "Not only did you wipe out pursuit intensity, you even deliberately had me absorb blood essence mixed with your family’s information and blood tracking method memories. I truly admire you! Having anticipated possible defeat, you preemptively set traps, decisively threw out bait, making my first busy task learning core Blood Race magic and extinguishing the Vlad Clan after fully absorbing this blood essence. With the Vlad Clan’s demise, I had no motivation left to verify your actual death. This way, relying on possession of Du Ping’an, you successfully evaded detection and lived on, biding time to regain strength!"

"What’s laughable is! I told your son earlier that his father Delacuri fought till the end for family revival, ahahaha!" Pei Yan ran fingers through his hair, mocking himself, "I was too naïve! What you truly care for has always been yourself! Family revival is merely to satiate your power cravings, and to survive, you’d heartlessly abandon it immediately without hesitation. To date, you succeeded to hide until all Vlad Clan members were dead, surviving as the only living carrier of Vlad blood unnoticed by me in this blind spot, almost, almost slipping by."

"You failed due to ignorance about Ye Ruozai’s divination capabilities, not foreseeing the ongoing connection between Ye Jiumu and you due to your presence - a cycle of cause and effect! If not for the Blood Curse cast on Ye Ruozai, our paths might’ve never reached this do-or-die stage today, but this curse completely exposed your scheme to us." Pei Yan said, smiling at the still visibly uneasy Du Ping’an, "Moreover, exposure was helped by your dear steward Depeo. At that time, I was puzzled why Depeo, who had absolute power over this body with undying loyalty to you, didn’t kill the child upon our appearance but chose escape?"
