Chapter 363: Dreams Come True

After entering the second checkpoint, Kong Nian stopped after walking for about an hour.

There was nothing around her but trees. She wanted to find Kong Xiang first, but when she took out her communication talisman, there was no response at all.

Once she confirmed this, a sense of panic began to rise in her heart.

Without spiritual power to protect her and unable to contact Kong Xiang, any danger she encountered would likely result in her demise.

Even if it wasn't Kong Xiang who ran into Gan Hua, it would still be bad.

However, things clearly did not go her way.

To be safe, she chose a spot she deemed relatively secure and sat down to wait.

Since Kong Xiang said there was a way to find her, she decided to simply wait for the rabbit to come to the tree.

But after waiting only ten minutes, she stood up in agitation.

There wasn't even a sound here; it was so quiet it made one feel uneasy.

Just as she was about to kick a tree in frustration to vent, a burst of painful murmuring suddenly reached her ears.

The murmuring came from not far away, as if someone were injured.

Kong Nian's instinctive thought was to mind her own business; after all, she could barely look after herself right now.

But when she carefully discerned that the voice sounded somewhat familiar, she even held her breath momentarily.

Could it really be that coincidental?

After hesitating repeatedly, she finally made up her mind and cautiously walked toward the direction of the sound.

A few minutes later, she indeed saw a person leaning against a large tree.

In an instant, the blood in Kong Nian's body seemed to boil. This person was none other than Su Yan—the one she both coveted and hated!

At this moment, Su Yan no longer possessed her former majesty. There were deep wounds on her arms, thighs, and abdomen, with blood flowing profusely.

Her consciousness seemed to be on the verge of coma, and she could lose her life at any moment.

Because she was so excited, Kong Nian even stood frozen on the spot for a full three minutes before finally snapping out of it.

"Su Yan?"

Her testing voice carried a slight, excited tremor.

Su Yan weakly opened her eyes and used her blood-stained hand to grab the hem of Kong Nian's clothes.

"Save... save me..."

She was begging her for help.

Upon realizing this, Kong Nian felt a thrill so intense she wanted to scream.

However, she did not lose her reason because of it; instead, she cautiously scanned her surroundings.

"What kind of danger did you encounter to end up injured like this?"

Her desire to obtain Su Yan's power was real, but she couldn't afford to lose her own life; she wasn't that stupid.

What if it was a trap?

Su Yan said in a voice as thin as a thread, "I encountered a... very powerful evil spirit..."

Kong Nian was full of suspicion, even prepared to flee at any moment.

But Su Yan's next sentence instantly made her heart bloom with joy.

"It has already been... killed by me. Can you... help me stop the bleeding first?"

In her current state, Su Yan had no way to save herself.

A sinister light gleamed in Kong Nian's eyes, and all her doubts and defenses vanished without a trace.

"So that's how it is. Why are you so careless? But I can't help you."

"You can... as long as you help me... stop the bleeding. I beg you to save me, or help me find Ma Chulong to come here..." For the first time, Su Yan dropped her arrogant posture before her, pleading bitterly with a trembling voice.

Kong Nian watched this scene with extreme enjoyment. She carried blood-stopping medicine with her, but how could she possibly use it on her?

"Su Yan, I advise you not to struggle in vain. If you have any last words, you can tell me now, and I can still pass them on for you."

Doing this would be more than enough of a kindness on her part.

Su Yan's chest heaved violently; she seemingly never expected Kong Nian to be so heartless.

"Kong Nian, how can you stand by and watch someone die?"

Whether it was a final surge of strength or not, her energy actually recovered a little.

Kong Nian revealed her wicked fangs. "I'm doing more than just standing by; I want to take all of your power!"

To her, the current Su Yan was like an ant; if she wanted to, she could take her life at any time.

"What did you say?" Stimulated, Su Yan jerked upward, but this pulled at her wounds, causing the blood to flow even more heavily.

Kong Nian slowly approached her, looking down at her from above as she revealed the secret hidden in her heart.

"You don't know yet, do you? I already obtained your power over ten years ago, it just wasn't quite complete that time. It definitely won't be this time; everything of yours will belong to me!"

This scene was exactly what she had dreamed of.

Using the last of her strength, Su Yan angrily grabbed Kong Nian's clothes.

"What did you say? Say it again!"

But Kong Nian was already too lazy to waste time with her. Her slender fingers gently brushed against the black silk ribbon on Su Yan's face, wishing she could just dig it out immediately.

She had already asked Kong Xiang about the method of transferring supernatural abilities. To completely claim someone else's energy as one's own, only the Feng family's secret technique could do it. And over ten years ago, the Kong family had already made a deal with the Feng family; Kong Xiang happened to know a portion of the incantation for that secret technique.

This incantation could temporarily allow her to possess Su Yan's eyes and the energy hidden within them. Although it wouldn't last long, it would be enough for her to leave this place and head to the Feng family.

As long as she found the Feng family and made another deal with them to completely finish the secret technique, everything of Su Yan's would belong to her entirely!

"Su Yan, from now on, there will be no more 'Su Yan' in this world. There will only be the future head of the Kong family, Kong Nian! Just watch me from hell as I become the most powerful exorcist!"

Realizing the murderous intent, Su Yan began to struggle violently, but even though Kong Nian lacked much spiritual power, dealing with someone in a dying state was effortless.

With a twisted expression, Kong Nian cast the necessary formation, trapping both herself and Su Yan firmly within it.

Su Yan spat out blood, no longer able to resist.

As Kong Nian chanted the incantation, blood slowly began to seep through the black cloth over Su Yan's eyes.

A moment later, the black cloth turned to ash. Accompanied by Su Yan's agonized wails, her eyes were violently torn from her sockets.

Despite the horrific scene, Kong Nian was excited to the extreme.

Those were not just bloody eyes; they were her one-of-a-kind treasures!

Su Yan's eyes had been extracted; the next step was to dig out her own eyeballs and replace them with Su Yan's.

At this moment, she didn't hesitate for a second, letting out a low growl as she dug her own eyes out.

Pain had been replaced by excitement; the mere thought that she would soon possess boundless, massive energy made her impatient.

The speed of her incantation quickened, and Su Yan's eyes flew toward her.

She opened her arms devoutly, welcoming her own glorious future.
