Chapter 207: In This Way, Let Father See the Truth

“Give it to me! Give it all to me!”

The masked man continued to clamor, pushing the effects of the formation to their absolute limit.

Ma Chulong collapsed in front of the formation, screaming in despair.

At this moment, he hated the Feng family with every fiber of his being!

Suddenly, Ma Chulan's anxious voice rang out in his mind, "Brother, help me! I'm trapped in an illusion filled with evil spirits!"

Ma Chulong forced himself to sit cross-legged.

He couldn't just break down like this; if he could bring his younger sister in first, perhaps Su Yan would still have a glimmer of hope.

Following his response, a beam of light was quickly established between the siblings, visible only to each other.

A look of pleasant surprise appeared on Ma Chulan's face as she remained trapped outside. "I found my big brother! Drive in the direction I tell you, we're going to charge through!"

Su Yao could only obey her words for now, especially since Ma Chulan added a second sentence.

"My brother and Su Yan seem to be in a critical situation! We have to regroup with them as soon as possible!"

Su Yao's clothes were soaked with sweat. Thinking of Su Jianguo and Su Yan, he truly couldn't care about anything else.

"Su Yan! Wake up!" The only thing Ma Chulong could do now was to keep shouting.

Su Yan remained motionless, but Su Jianguo, who had been unconscious the entire time, slowly opened his eyes.

His head felt like it was splitting apart.

"Where am I?"

After a murmur, he immediately saw Su Yan and the masked man standing within the formation, and his expression changed drastically.

"Yan Yan!"

Ma Chulong hadn't expected Su Jianguo to wake up at a time like this.

Su Yan had said that her family didn't know her true identity; seeing this scene now, this elder might not be able to handle it.

But to his surprise, Su Jianguo seemed to accept the situation before long. He stumbled to his feet and charged toward the formation.

The result was predictable. The moment Su Jianguo touched the formation, he was violently repelled.

He flew back four or five meters and slammed heavily onto the ground.

Yet, Su Jianguo didn't even let out a groan. He scrambled up and rushed back in without hesitation.

Time and time again.

Blood flowed from the corners of his mouth, but he forced himself to swallow the blood in his mouth over and over again.

A moth to a flame.

Only these four words remained in Ma Chulong's mind. It was as if Su Jianguo felt no pain and feared no death, trying time and again to get close to Su Yan.

"Uncle Su, stop! It's no use! You'll die..."

For the first time, a faint sob colored his voice.

Su Jianguo seemed not to hear him at all. He used his last bit of strength to take a step into the formation.

The sound of bones cracking echoed, yet he still chose not to retreat, shouting at Su Yan with bloodshot eyes.

"Yan Yan, it's Papa... wake up quickly..."

"Yan Yan!!"

Ma Chulong was overcome with emotion. At this moment, even if it cost him his life, he had to save Su Jianguo.

Just as he was heading toward Su Jianguo, Su Yan actually showed signs of movement.

Her brows furrowed tightly, and her head visibly tilted toward Su Jianguo's direction.

Su Jianguo wept with joy, shouting from his chest, "Yan Yan, it's Papa, wake up... Papa begs you, wake up... *Pfft!*"

A spray of bright red blood splattered into the formation.

Before Ma Chulong or Su Jianguo could even react, a phenomenon rose from Su Yan's side. Amidst the masked man's distorted screams, the energy overflowing from Su Yan's body actually began to increase at several times its original speed.

The masked man could scream frantically at first, but he soon realized something was wrong.

If the body was a container, then the energy it could hold was limited. And the energy Su Yan was currently releasing had clearly far exceeded what he could contain.

"No, stop! Stop it!"

Alarm bells rang wildly in the masked man's heart. He frantically manipulated the formation, trying to make Su Yan stop.

But no matter how hard he tried, he could no longer control the formation.

Su Yan's voice rang out coldly, "Didn't you want it? I'll give you all of it!"

As her voice fell, an even more massive amount of energy continued to pour incessantly into the masked man's body.

Ma Chulong was horrified. He had never seen anyone possess such immense energy, and it didn't even look like it was all of it.

He realized the masked man's time was up.

The Feng family could plunder the abilities of others, but there was a very strict prerequisite: the two must be of comparable strength, or the former must be able to suppress the latter. If they were suppressed instead, they would explode and die.

The masked man had completely underestimated Su Yan's energy, so he was now destined to be the one who died.

Sure enough, a few seconds later, all of the masked man's ferocity and arrogance vanished without a trace. His body began to expand terrifyingly, like an inflating balloon.

"Stop, stop quickly! If I die, the Feng family won't let you go!"

Su Yan let out a cold laugh. "The Feng family... I'll remember that."

As she finished speaking, her eyes slowly opened. A heaven-defying surge of energy instantly turned the masked man into ash, leaving not even a tiny speck of residue behind.

...

Ma Chulong stared blankly at this scene, his heart churning with violent waves.

At this moment, he couldn't even describe his feelings as he tried to find any trace of the masked man's existence.

Nothing.

There was nothing at all.

It was as if the masked man had never appeared in this world.

The second the masked man vanished, Su Yan had already withdrawn all her energy and turned around indifferently.

Ma Chulong saw the most beautiful yet most terrifying eyes in the world.

Su Yan walked straight to Su Jianguo. She didn't immediately help him up, but instead asked in a tone completely foreign to him, "Are you alright, sir?"

Having seen what just happened, he would probably view her as a monster, wouldn't he?

After hiding it for so long, she hadn't expected to reveal the whole truth to him in such a way.

Su Jianguo's face was deathly pale. He stared intently at her face and said tremulously, "Yan Yan, your eyes..."

Su Yan had already prepared herself mentally for everything.

"Just like your mother's... they are truly... beautiful." Using the last of his strength, Su Jianguo finished speaking and collapsed softly, no longer able to support himself.

The coldness in Su Yan's eyes vanished completely, and she hugged him in a panic.

"Dad, don't scare me."

Something seemed to have taken root in the deepest part of her heart.

She had never experienced panic before, but seeing Su Jianguo's breath becoming as thin as a thread, she was truly terrified.

Su Jianguo struggled to keep his eyes open. "Yan Yan, are your eyes... are they all better?"

Su Yan's nose burned with the urge to cry. She nodded vigorously. "They're better, they're all better."

Su Jianguo smiled. "Actually... I... I knew a long time ago... it's just that you didn't say anything, so... Papa didn't... didn't ask..."

He owed his daughter far too much; he likely wouldn't be able to repay it in this lifetime.

But his daughter had truly become very powerful; she no longer needed his protection.

"Yan Yan, I'm sorry..."

"Dad, don't talk. I'll save you, I will definitely save you!" Su Yan's voice choked with sobs.

Su Jianguo shook his head. His weak gaze passed through her, looking toward a distant place.

His most beloved person was waiting for her there.

"Xiangrou."

Being dead was truly wonderful; he could finally be reunited with Xiangrou.
