Chapter 386: Becoming a God in a Single Battle

The sinister wind surged violently.

Kong Yueqing's pupils shifted between two different colors, and the miasma permeating her body grew at an exponential rate.

Seeing this, Kong Xiang's expression changed drastically. He shouted toward Su Yan, "Stop her, quickly! Don't let her complete the fusion with the evil spirit!"

At this moment, Kong Yueqing still possessed human thoughts, but once she fully merged with the evil spirit within her body, her original self would be completely overtaken by the spirit, and all its power would be unleashed without restraint.

The Kong Yueqing of this moment was already difficult for them to deal with; if she succeeded, the consequences would be even more terrifying.

Su Yan focused her mind with utmost intensity and launched an attack toward Kong Yueqing.

This woman was truly insane; she was willing to hand over her very body just to obtain power.

"Pfft!" Kong Yueqing did not dodge Su Yan's move, and blood sprayed from her, but even so, her actions did not cease.

Su Yan frowned deeply, her internal alarm bells ringing loudly.

It seemed that the only way to completely eliminate Kong Yueqing now was to utilize the power within her pupils.

However, Kong Yueqing's fusion process was even faster than anyone had imagined. Her eyes suddenly turned entirely black, and the sinister aura grew at a terrifying, multiplying speed.

Simultaneously, the crack in the ground expanded once more, becoming a bottomless black fissure that looked like a passage connecting to hell.

Everyone felt a sense of suffocation; the scene was so overwhelming that it sapped even the slightest will to resist.

They felt like mere ants, liable to be crushed to death at any moment.

"How can there be... an Abyss here?!"

Kong Xiang seemed to realize something. He was shocked beyond belief, his entire body trembling uncontrollably.

"It's over. We're all going to die. We'll all die here..." Zhou Chong continued to hold the unconscious Zhou Li, but his face was now filled with nothing but despair.

"What... what is this?" Panic and fear spread instantly.

Ma Chulan gripped Ma Chulong's sleeve tightly, her face also etched with terror.

Sweat dripped from Ma Chulong's forehead, and his chest heaved violently.

"Hahaha! Today, all of you will die here! All of you!" Kong Yueqing had become a completely different person. The face was the same, but she was no longer human.

Su Yan knew there was no more time. "You beast, you're the one who's going to die!"

As the light of energy released from her pupils, the hair on the arms of Ma Chulong, Ma Chulan, Du Jinsong, and Zhang Ximing stood on end.

Kong Xiang was incredibly excited. He knew that the way Su Yan and Kong Nian released energy was the same, but seeing it with his own eyes now, it felt entirely different.

Kong Nian used her eyes as a container to store energy, so when she released it, it came from the entire eye.

But seeing Su Yan at this moment, he realized they had all been wrong.

Su Yan's energy was completely compressed within her pupils. The released energy was compressed to the absolute limit; even though it was only a slender pillar of light, the power contained within it was breathtaking.

Kong Yueqing had not expected Su Yan to have a trump card, but she showed no fear. Because her fused body was no longer something that ordinary power could destroy.

Therefore, she did not intend to dodge. She wanted to show these ignorant and tiny humans exactly where the gap between them lay!

The moment this thought arose, she even wore an expression of arrogant pride.

However, when the searing heat of that energy surged toward her, she suddenly realized something was wrong.

It was too late.

She didn't even know where she had lost. Under the impact of that terrifying energy, she dissipated instantly, leaving not even a trace of residue behind.

...

The entire world fell silent.

The Kong Yueqing who had been invincible and soul-crushing just a second ago had died completely under everyone's gaze.

It was as if she had never existed at all.

"What happened? What happened?!"

Kong Nian screamed at the top of her lungs. She couldn't see, but her mind had already automatically sketched out a mental image.

She didn't want it to be true.

"Dead... she's dead..." Gan Hua's voice was thin, as he struggled to suppress the emotions surging in his chest. "Kong Yueqing is dead."

Kong Nian was horrified. Hadn't Kong Yueqing become incredibly powerful? Couldn't even Kong Xiang harm her? Why did she die so quickly? Wasn't she supposed to kill everyone here?

Everyone knew Su Yan was strong, but after witnessing her strength firsthand, they could hardly believe it.

Was such power truly something a human could possess?

Su Yan looked coldly at those fanatical faces, understanding that from this moment on, her life might never be peaceful again.

But so what? She was destined to be extraordinary from birth!

"Brother Ma, Brother Du, work together! Re-seal that barrier!"

Su Yan had long since realized that the crack in the ground was the exit suppressing the subterranean evil spirits, and Kong Yueqing's goal had been to let the things below emerge.

However, Kong Yueqing's wish was destined to go unfulfilled.

Du Jinsong and Ma Chulong finally snapped out of it and assisted Su Yan in sealing the ruptured barrier.

The other exorcists did not dare to step forward rashly, fearing that instead of helping, they might ruin everything.

Although Kong Xiang was capable, he made no move.

Watching the crack slowly contract under the output of Su Yan's spiritual power, he knew that if nothing went wrong, the three of them could completely seal it.

He couldn't wait to tell Kong Shan Kui everything Su Yan had displayed here.

The Kong family must obtain Su Yan at any cost!

The moment the last sliver of the crack completely vanished, deafening cheers erupted from all around.

Nothing could be more exhilarating than escaping death.

However, this time, not many people dared to approach Su Yan.

When she was a hero, people worshipped her, and naturally, everyone wanted to curry favor and please her. But when she became an existence akin to a deity, she was high above, something one could only look up to.

For Ma Chulan, none of this mattered, because in her heart, no matter what Su Yan became, she was her best friend.

"Waaaah, Su Yan, I was really scared just now! You saved me and Big Brother again, waaaah..."

She clung to Su Yan like an octopus, truly shedding tears.

Ma Chulong watched from the side, feeling utterly helpless. "Little sister, your snot is about to rub off on Su Yan."

"I don't care! I was really scared to death!" At this moment, Ma Chulan didn't look like an exorcist at all.

However, after her outburst, the atmosphere finally eased significantly.

Zhou Li remained unconscious. Zhou Chong instructed everyone to rest and adjust on the spot, then ordered the disciples of the Zhou family to begin collecting the bodies of the deceased exorcists.
