"Are you allowed to slaughter us, but we can't retaliate in kind?"
What?
The faces of those who followed the sound in astonishment, Ah Yin and Xiao Wu's pupils constricted, looking at another figure close to Tang Sui with disbelief.
A black haori draped over a white interlocking skirt, dark red lines outlining the sleeves, and the hem of the skirt disappeared from the knee position, exposing skin that was unnaturally pale with a deathly chill. Unlike the red mist swirling around, wisps of black mist emanated from nowhere, affectionately coiling around her bare snowy feet. Whether it was their illusion or not, for a moment, those unnaturally colored feet seemed to become semi-transparent... Su Dan Novel Network
But this was not what shocked everyone.
What astonished them most was that the girl who appeared out of nowhere had a face identical to Tang Sui's.
Black eyes, a strange aura, fourteen masks, half black and half white, forming a large circle, flying around her, quite spectacular.
Under everyone's gaze, the girl in the black dress extended her slender, pale hand, reaching from behind Tang Sui to cover her eyes, obscuring the unmoving Tang Sui's vision. Her raven-black hair, cascading down like a waterfall, formed arcs in the air, trailing black energy.
The black and white girls were extremely close. Except for the girl who appeared later, her head was not adorned with a golden sun wheel crown, their attire was identical except for the color of the haori.
With the same appearance, the girl clad in the black haori exuded an even more terrifying aura than Tang Sui when she had unleashed her full power in the recent battle.
Tang Xiao, outside the situation, looked at his equally stunned younger brother, Tang Hao, his lips trembling, "You and Ah Yin... have another child?"
Tang Hao suppressed the shock on his face and looked at the suddenly appearing black mask with apprehension, saying in a deep voice, "No... she is Sui Sui's other personality."
"Another personality?" This was beyond Tang Xiao's knowledge.
Ah Yin, having recovered from her surprise, looked at her younger daughter, whose eyes were covered by the girl in the black dress, with no resistance, and her heart was anxious, "Sui Sui suffers from soul departure syndrome. Her martial soul changing from one to seven was also due to this. However, according to Sui Sui, the other personalities can only communicate with her in her mind. How could they... materialize in reality now?"
"Soul departure syndrome?" The Third Elder, who was experienced and had some knowledge of this illness, was startled. Remembering this illness, he looked up at the black-dressed girl who had the same face as Tang Sui, and said hoarsely, "Although soul departure syndrome is said to involve a dual soul, the body cannot split into two physical entities!"
If it were a spirit ability clone or a substitute, it might be possible, but looking at the other party, it didn't seem like a spirit ability was being used at all!
"Perhaps it's because we are all within Sui Sui's domain." Tang San said solemnly, "A domain is precisely about bringing the imagined artistic conception into reality. And now, we are all within Sui Sui's domain, so naturally, she can materialize and appear before us. I have even seen two other materialized personalities within Sui Sui's domain."
"But the personality that has appeared before us... seems to be the strongest one besides Sui Sui herself."
"She is not easy to deal with."
Recalling the troublesome memories within the domain, Tang San glanced at the disheveled elders of the Clear Sky School not far away, his eyes deepening slightly, and said softly, "Five elders, take this opportunity to declare surrender. Besides her, Sui Sui has six other personalities."
At these words, Xiao Wu's expression became somewhat strange.
Tang Hao silently looked at his elder son, who was watching the Clear Sky School elders, whose faces were shifting between green and white, with a poker face.
Within the domain, any slight disturbance was naturally hidden from the black mask.
She glanced at Tang San, who was full of cunning, and with a thought, a viscous black tide appeared cooperatively from the void, encircling Tang San and the others.
The Seventh Elder showed a look of deep apprehension, wanting to raise his Clear Sky Hammer to resist, but was interrupted by the Second Elder's heavy voice, which halted all his actions—
"We surrender!"
The hoarse four words came from the Second Elder.
The restless black tide paused, and the next moment, it disappeared from everyone's sight as silently as it had appeared.
Upon hearing this, the pent-up frustration in Tang San's heart finally dissipated. He smiled and retracted his Sea God Trident and martial soul, cupping his hands towards the five disheveled elders, "We were outmatched."
The Second Elder, who was the most injured, was supported by the Fourth Elder. He glanced at the still-active domain and their suffering disciples, and took a deep breath, "Since this challenge has been decided, shouldn't you also take corresponding actions?"
For example, lifting this domain.
The smile on Tang San's face faded slightly. He looked up at the two figures, one black and one white, overlooking them, and solemnly cupped his hands towards the black mask, "The winner has been decided, and these five elders have personally conceded defeat and will not go back on their word. May I ask you to lift your domain?"
Hearing Tang San's words, which were indirectly a jab at them, the hot-tempered Seventh Elder's face darkened.
This brat!
However, Tang Hao's attention was on his elder son's solemn and, though not like facing an enemy, yet quite apprehensive demeanor.
He frowned, looking at that familiar yet strange face, and for some reason, felt a sense of unease in his heart.
'Do you think, this brat, that if you lift the domain, you will disappear?'
The fox mask, seeing through Tang San's little trick, spoke with mockery in its voice.
The other masks also let out overlapping mocking laughter.
The black mask's lips curved upwards, and the domain covering the real world instantly shattered like a mirage, revealing the snow-capped peak.
However, Tang San and his family's expressions changed in unison. Ah Yin couldn't help but take a step forward, wanting to rush forward, but was stopped by Tang Hao, who had snapped back to his senses.
"Ah Yin, no!"
"But Sui Sui!"
Ah Yin's pupils trembled as she watched their familiar, white-dressed younger daughter's figure become ethereal. Under their gaze, without any resistance, she turned into specks of light from head to toe, and along with half of the jade-white masks among the fourteen, dissipated into the air. The scattered remnants of light merged into the black mask.
The curvature of the black mask's lips deepened. She then slowly descended from mid-air to a position almost parallel to them. Seven black masks with gold patterns circled her. Her bare feet stepped on the cold snow, leaving no footprints, but the hearts of Tang San and his family felt as if they had frozen, frost congealing on their hearts.
How could it be Sui Sui who disappeared?!
The cruel reality sent a dull ache through their chests.
But the black mask did not care about their shock.
"Since you lost, then fulfill the promise of the losers."
The black mask looked at Ah Yin, whose face was full of worry, and Tang Hao, whose expression was solemn, "After you have paid your respects, I will send you to the Slaughter City to be settled."
Tang Hao and Ah Yin's pupils contracted sharply.
What did these words mean? Was it her turn next?
Tang San's breath hitched, his mind racing. He took a step forward and said, "Wait a moment. Since we are going to pay respects to Grandpa, Sui Sui should also come along."
No matter what, he had to find a way to switch her back with Sui Sui first!
