Chapter 205: Come and Get It!

“What did you do to him?” Su Yan did not show any panic at Su Jianguo's appearance; her voice only grew deeper.

“Nothing yet, but I can't guarantee what will happen next.” The man looked at her with a sinister gaze.

Capturing Su Jianguo was equivalent to grasping this girl's weakness; he could absolutely force her to comply.

Su Yan, instead, calmed down. “What do you want me to do?”

Her reaction was exactly as the man had expected.

“Simple. Take off the black cloth covering your face, drop all your defenses, and give me your eyes.”

A look of greed flashed across the man's face when he mentioned the eyes.

“How do I know you won't go back on your word? Besides, if I lose my eyes, I'll truly become blind. What ability will I have left to contend with you then?”

Su Yan's rebuttal made the man laugh even more wantonly.

Though she had some skill, she was, after all, just an inexperienced young girl.

Those powerful eyeballs were something Heaven had specially prepared for him.

“You have no choice left. If you don't do it, I'll kill him right now.”

To force Su Yan to submit, the sharp dagger was pressed directly against Su Jianguo's neck.

“Come to think of it, he's been quite good to you as a daughter. I merely told him over the phone that something had happened to you to trick him out here.”

A surge of hostility rose from the depths of Su Yan's eyes, though her expression remained indifferent.

“A person who does not act for themselves will be destroyed by Heaven and Earth. Although he is my father, he has never cared whether I lived or died all these years. Do you really think this bit of familial affection can be used to threaten me?”

“Fine, then I'll kill him now.” The man seemed to have seen through Su Yan's disguise; with a slight exertion of force, the dagger cut into Su Jianguo's flesh.

“You'd better use more force. If he dies, I will avenge him.” Su Yan spoke very slowly, almost enunciating every word.

This ruthless appearance finally caused the man to hesitate slightly.

The man wasn't entirely without concerns. He was well aware of the power within Su Yan's pupils; if things truly reached a point of mutual destruction, even if he succeeded in the plunder, he would certainly pay a heavy price.

That was why he hadn't appeared directly, but had instead arranged for people to observe her in the shadows for many days, eventually finding Su Yan's only weakness: Su Jianguo!

Seeing the dagger slowly loosen, Su Yan knew she absolutely could not let the opponent see any flaw.

“Su Yan, don't think I believe you just like that. If you truly didn't care about his life or death, you wouldn't have wasted your breath talking to me.” The man's sinister eyes stared intently at her every move.

Su Yan sneered, “He is my father, of course I care about him. But as an Exorcist, who hasn't seen through life and death long ago? The more people you care about, the faster you die. Why bother?”

The negotiation between the two seemed to enter a stalemate.

It was the man who lost his composure first. “I can give you a guarantee. If you give me your eyes, I will protect you and your father for a lifetime of peace. If you still refuse, I will kill him first, and then kill you to take your eyes!”

“I don't even know who you are, how can I believe what you say?” Su Yan questioned him directly.

The man hesitated for two seconds. “The Feng family of Lingnan. I am a member of the Feng family.”

After speaking, the expression beneath his mask was quite smug.

“The Feng family... I have indeed heard of them.” As expected, Su Yan gave an affirmative answer. “Then I can trust you even less.”

The man: “...”

“I know how despicable and shameless your Feng family is. Although I cannot fight you, I can destroy the thing you desire most!” A look of determination appeared on Su Yan's face as she actually reached out her right hand, intending to self-mutilate her eyes.

This action was unexpected for the man; his only thought was that he had to stop her.

Just as he rushed toward Su Yan, Ma Chulong suddenly appeared out of thin air, striking the man's back with a heavy palm strike.

The man had completely failed to expect an ambush on Su Yan's side, and being caught off guard sent him into a rage.

However, by the time he regained his senses, Su Yan had already rushed to the side of the unconscious Su Jianguo.

With perfect tacit understanding, Ma Chulong shielded the two of them, giving Su Yan time to check Su Jianguo's condition.

“Are you from the Ma family?” The masked man immediately recognized Ma Chulong's identity, his angry voice filled with gloom.

“You're smart enough to recognize me. Su Yan is my friend. I advise you to leave immediately, otherwise, don't blame the Ma family for being unkind to you!” Ma Chulong warned with full confidence.

The masked man immediately scanned the surroundings. When he realized that Ma Chulong seemed to be the only one here, the wariness on his face vanished.

“That's what I should be saying to you! Your Ma family shouldn't meddle in business that isn't theirs!”

As long as he left this kid alive, the Ma family would never tear their face with the Feng family just because of an outsider like Su Yan.

Ma Chulong refused to yield an inch. “Then come and try!”

The two clashed directly.

Su Yan confirmed that Su Jianguo was indeed only unconscious, and only then did she breathe a sigh of relief.

Untying the ropes binding Su Jianguo, she could only wait for him to wake up on his own.

In a short moment, Ma Chulong and the masked man had already exchanged several blows.

Whether in terms of moves or methods, the masked man was sinister and cunning; Ma Chulong actually found it somewhat difficult to deal with him.

“The Ma family is nothing special. Out of respect for how you protect that girl, I'll let you watch with your own eyes as I gouge her eyeballs out!”

Ma Chulong's gaze was dark as he cursed, “You scum! Today, I will execute justice on behalf of Heaven!”

In his fury, his movements suddenly accelerated, and he finally managed to grab the masked man's throat.

Just as he was about to snap the masked man's neck, the person in front of him suddenly turned into a cold corpse, and even the facial features were no longer those of the masked man.

“Puppetry!!”

Ma Chulong's breath hitched. By the time he reacted, he was a step too late; the real masked man had already appeared behind him, delivering a heavy blow.

*Pfft!*

Blood sprayed out.

“Despicable!”

Ma Chulong cursed, never expecting to fall for a trap at such a critical moment.

“I advise you not to move. You've been hit by my Explosion Talisman. If you use even a little force, it will go *bang* and explode,” the masked man warned triumphantly.

If not for the fact that he was a member of the Ma family, that previous strike would have sent him to the afterlife long ago.

Ma Chulong wanted to move forward again, but he truly felt something abnormal within his body.

“If you kill me, just wait to face the endless pursuit of the Ma family!”

Death—he had never been afraid of it. But to die at the hands of such a scum made his heart unwilling to accept it.

The masked man actually laughed. “As long as you aren't seeking death yourself, I won't kill you.”

His only target was Su Yan's pair of eyes.

Su Yan stood up, refocusing her attention on the masked man.

The gaze hidden beneath the black cloth was terrifying and horrific.

“Don't you want my eyes? Then come and take them.”
