Chapter 609 Sea Witch, Mermaid Princess?

Upon full contact, Tang San immediately felt his soul power rapidly draining away at dozens of times the previous rate. In the blink of an eye, he felt a drop in his overall soul power. But a smile appeared on Tang San's face; the real gift was just beginning.

A sudden burst of blue-gold light spread out, and an immense life force instantly expanded, enveloping not only the Starfish Sacred Pillar and the sea within the sea before it, but also the vast forest along the shore. This immense life force, like a vast ocean surging forth, poured in. Everything around them transformed into a myriad of illusory images.

Eight golden spears were released behind Tang San, and countless golden threads fused lightly with the numerous Blue Silver Emperors. This was the simultaneous appearance of the Blue Silver Domain's evolved skill, Myriad Manifestations, and the fusion skill of the Eight Spider Spears and the Blue Silver Domain, Devouring Golden Threads.

The Blue Silver Domain, the innate domain of the Blue Silver Emperor, suddenly grew larger under the amplification of the martial soul's own innate domain. The previously rapidly flowing soul power abruptly halted, each strand of Blue Silver Emperor acting like a stingy nobleman, blocking the flow of soul power. And when the golden threads attached themselves to the Blue Silver Emperor, all the flow of soul power stopped completely. A tug-of-war ensued.

The Devouring Golden Thread cannot devour the opponent's energy, and the Starfish Douluo cannot use it to devour Tang San's soul power.

Never underestimate the Starfish Douluo's devouring ability. Although it's only his third soul skill, it's actually the innate skill of his starfish spirit. Furthermore, he possesses a soul bone with the same effect. This devouring ability, when unleashed, is absolutely no less powerful than his eighth soul skill. Even the previous Sea Illusion Douluo and Sea Spear Douluo, if they were firmly enveloped by him like this, would undoubtedly be defeated.

While Tang San's Devouring Golden Threads possessed a decent devouring effect, they were still somewhat inferior to those of Sea Star Douluo, whose primary skill was devouring. However, the amplification and weakening effects of the Blue Silver Domain compensated for this difference. Under the pressure of the domain and the might of the Sea God's Light, the Devouring Golden Threads, attached to the Blue Silver Emperor, barely managed to hold their own against their opponent. However, as Sea Star Douluo unleashed his full power in devouring, this stalemate began to shift, and the balance gradually tilted in Sea Star Douluo's favor.

Even so, Starfish Douluo was extremely surprised. He never imagined that this young man, who had received the glory of the Nine Trials of the Sea God, would possess such a strong devouring ability. Moreover, he dared to compete with him in devouring using this method.

The massive body writhed violently, and the ninth spirit ring on Starfish Douluo finally shone. Although the Blue Silver Emperor spirit ring wrapped around its body, it couldn't cover every part of it. The spirit rings that weren't covered and joined the devouring process were now completely blue. Within and outside the sea, streams of seawater surged out like arrows, flowing into Starfish Douluo's suction cups. Tang San discovered that Starfish Douluo could actually filter seawater through its suction cups, infusing the energy within into itself. Moreover, its body began to become slippery, and all its suction cups began to pulsate irregularly. The devouring continued, but Tang San's Devouring Golden Threads could no longer easily grasp Starfish Douluo's body, while Starfish Douluo's devouring power continued to increase.

Rings of blue light emanated from Starfish Douluo's body. As more and more of his suction cups turned blue, his body became increasingly resilient. Tentacles emerged from the sea, covering the entire inner sea. Each tentacle's suction cups emitted a dazzling blue light. Not only were the suction cups touching Tang San's Blue Silver Emperor absorbing energy, but the suction cups on the tentacles standing in the air were also absorbing it—absorbing the energy of Tang San's Blue Silver Domain.

This is Starfish Douluo's ninth soul skill, Thousand Tentacles, Ten Thousand Absorptions. It devours energy of any form within the reach of its tentacles, including domain energy. It then infuses this energy into itself, replenishing its own consumed power. Seawater is undoubtedly its best amplification source; in areas with seawater, the skill's power increases by thirty percent. An absolutely terrifying ninth soul skill.

The best way to deal with his ninth soul skill is to escape from afar, avoiding direct contact and attacking him from a distance. The main body should not enter the area of ​​his absorption. Wait until his ninth soul skill's power is exhausted before striking him down. Starfish Douluo was well aware of the weakness of this soul skill; therefore, whenever he used it, the prerequisite was that the opponent was already within his absorption range and being absorbed by him. Under these circumstances, his ninth soul skill could unleash its strongest power, making it a close-range killing move. Facing Tang San's Blue Silver Domain of Myriad Manifestations and Devouring Golden Silk, the cautious Starfish Douluo didn't hesitate to use his strongest skill, lest things get complicated.

Even the usually composed Tang San hadn't expected the Starfish Douluo's ninth soul skill to be so monstrous, completely abandoning offensive power and instead focusing on devouring. It was safe to say that any non-flying soul master entering his attack range would find it extremely difficult to escape unscathed. Any attack would have its energy devoured by his countless tentacles; even if it hit his body, a large portion of the attack power would be absorbed first. Add to that his thick skin and powerful regenerative abilities, and even if one's strength surpassed his, being entangled and killed by him wouldn't be surprising.

There was no other way. Tang San made a judgment in an instant: even if he unleashed his strongest attack now, he would absolutely not be able to break free. Using instant teleportation to escape the battlefield wasn't impossible, but that would mean abandoning all the Blue Silver Emperors he had already released. The loss of soul power and the impact on his physical body would be enormous, making defeat inevitable in the upcoming battle. Therefore, he now had only one choice: to continue devouring against devouring.

After consuming the stimulating pink sausage, the Blue Silver Emperor shone brightly under the intense stimulation. Simultaneously, Tang San swallowed a firm golden fly. Faced with such a monstrous opponent, he had to add an extra layer of protection to his upcoming actions.

The eighth spirit ring shone brightly, and dark red ripples surged out like waves, instantly spreading to every part of the Starfish Douluo Martial Soul True Body. The enormous creature that had been desperately writhing earlier immediately stopped. But his ninth spirit skill showed no sign of disappearing.

The first skill of Tang San's Blue Silver Emperor, the eighth soul skill, Blue Silver Orca Demonic Capture, was activated. A preemptive, guaranteed-to-work skill. The three-second stun had already landed on Starfish Douluo, halting his movement. However, Tang San's Blue Silver Emperor was now intertwined with Starfish Douluo's tentacles and was also being held captive by suction cups, making it impossible to break free in those three seconds.

Tang San had no intention of breaking free anyway. He lunged forward, like a shooting star chasing the moon, towards the Starfish Douluo. Xiao Wu's figure emerged from behind him. For this attack, Tang San could no longer use the Vast Ocean Protective Shield to help Xiao Wu remain invisible. At the same time, the Blue Silver Emperor wrapped around Xiao Wu's waist also released, flinging her body into the air through the gaps in the Starfish Douluo's tentacles. At this moment, the Starfish Douluo was in a dazed state and naturally could not stop him.

With a soft "plop," Tang San's body collapsed onto the center of the Starfish Douluo's true form. His body didn't actually touch the Starfish Douluo's, but even so, he could feel the pressure from the massive suction cup below. The Eight Spider Lances pierced fiercely into the Starfish Douluo's body, and a burst of intense golden light erupted.

Just as Starfish Douluo possessed a ninth spirit skill for devouring, Tang San also had his own Eight Spider Lances. The Eight Spider Lances were his true, powerful spirit bone for devouring. As an external spirit bone, so far, aside from devouring golden threads and using it directly as a spear, the Eight Spider Lances essentially only had one devouring skill. The toxins it carried were largely derived from the two extreme immortal herbs Tang San had consumed.

This was Tang San's desperate gamble. With the help of the resilient Golden Fly, the absorption power of the Eight Spider Lances was directly increased to 150%.

A terrifying wave of devouring energy erupted in an instant. Three seconds was a short time, but it was enough for Tang San. In the first second, he pounced on Starfish Douluo; in the next two seconds, under the terrifying devouring force of the Eight Spider Lances, Starfish Douluo's body could be clearly seen rapidly shrunken. Tang San had used all his energy in the devouring process before him. Moreover, the potent poison attached to the Eight Spider Lances was also mercilessly injected into Starfish Douluo's Martial Soul True Body.

Back then, when facing the Deep Sea Demon Whale, Tang San inflicted considerable damage on it using his Eight Spider Lances. Now, his strength has increased by two spirit rings, and he has also consumed the Resilient Golden Fly. The devouring ability of the Eight Spider Lances is therefore unimaginable.

In terms of area absorption, the Eight Spider Lances are naturally no match for Starfish Douluo, but in terms of small-area single-target absorption, unless Starfish Douluo's suction cups can be stacked, it is impossible for it to compare with it.

In just two brief seconds, Tang San absorbed the equivalent of the soul power consumed by his eighth soul skill, Blue Silver Orca's Demonic Absorption, from the dazed Starfish Douluo. Moreover, the potent poison successfully entered Starfish Douluo's body. He knew that Starfish Douluo possessed the ability to use poison and had considerable resistance to it, and as a Title Douluo, even the poison attached to the Eight Spider Lances couldn't kill him instantly. That's why he unleashed his attack so recklessly.

Centered on the points where the eight spider spears pierced, the giant starfish rapidly shrank in the center during violent spasms. When Starfish Douluo awoke from his dazed state, he was immediately horrified. Soul power and life force were rapidly draining away from the eight wounds. At the same time, two maddening pains, extreme cold and extreme heat, spread rapidly throughout his body, causing his "five limbs" to become numb. Not only was the mobilization of soul power sluggish, but even maintaining his ninth soul skill became difficult.

Hai Xing Douluo was terrified when he realized that the eight spears that had been releasing the Devouring Golden Silk had pierced his body were actually causing such a terrifying sensation. He struggled desperately, trying to wriggle his body and push Tang San away. However, Tang San clung to him like a maggot, and his limbs were tightly bound by the Blue Silver Emperor. The more he struggled, the faster his soul power and life force drained away.

In stark contrast to his situation, as the absorption time lengthened, the blue-gold light emanating from Tang San's body grew increasingly bright. With the massive influx of energy, his previous depletion was rapidly recovering. Even the Devouring Golden Silk was gradually suppressing the starfish tentacles, which were running out of steam. Facing an opponent who could counter him to some extent, Tang San chose the most effective fighting style, finally gaining the upper hand with his repeatedly evolved external spirit bone, the Eight Spider Lances, firmly seizing control of the situation.

Hai Xing Douluo's body gradually became half scorching hot and half icy cold. Although his defense and self-repair abilities were strong, he was helpless against the terrifying poison within. He could only try to slow its spread, but he couldn't stop his energy from being rapidly devoured. The challenge was now a foregone conclusion. Xiao Wu slowly descended from mid-air, and Tang San even had time to cast a Blue Silver Emperor sword around her waist, supporting her body and keeping her suspended in mid-air. This time, he didn't even allow Xiao Wu's soul to possess him. There were still two challenges ahead; it was always good to have some backup plans.

The Eight Spider Lances, supported by the steadfast Golden Fly, were truly terrifying. Starfish Douluo's ninth soul skill collapsed, and the tentacles that had risen from the sea began to fall back rapidly. The blue color on the suction cups also faded quickly, and even his main body was rapidly shrinking, relying on energy gathering to block Tang San's devouring and the spread of poison as much as possible.

"Senior, admit defeat." Just then, Tang San suddenly stopped devouring, refusing to continue. He had clearly sensed the heartbeat of the Starfish Douluo. Finding his opponent's heartbeat meant the Starfish Douluo no longer had the strength to protect himself. Continuing would inflict irreparable damage.

"I lost." A weak voice came through. Although Starfish Douluo was unwilling, he wasn't too sad. After all, four of his companions had suffered the same fate before him.

The Eight Spider Lances didn't immediately leave Starfish Douluo's body. Instead, they quickly withdrew the ice and fire poison they had injected into him and returned the life force they had absorbed to him. Of course, Tang San wouldn't return the soul power that had been absorbed, since Starfish Douluo could recover through cultivation anyway, and Tang San, who needed to continue his assessment, required that soul power as a supplement.

With a soft hissing sound, the Eight Spider Lances detached from Starfish Douluo's body, and the enormous starfish rapidly wriggled and contracted, regaining its human form. It transformed into the strange figure Tang San had first encountered.

"Was the power you used to attack me last time an external soul bone?" Starfish Douluo's voice was very hoarse, sounding somewhat uncomfortable.

Tang San put his arm around Xiao Wu, nodded, and said, "It's my external soul bone, the Eight Spider Lances."

With a sigh, Starfish Douluo murmured, "As expected of an external soul bone! My most prized Devouring Skill lost to you, and I accept it wholeheartedly. You win." Tang San had already shown him mercy, not inflicting any real harm, so he naturally wouldn't make things difficult for him further. As he spoke, he flicked out his left hand, which quickly lengthened and struck the Starfish Sacred Pillar. Instantly, star-shaped rays of light floated out and landed on Tang San and Xiao Wu. The Fifth Sacred Pillar Trial was finally over.

After thanking Starfish Douluo, Tang San carried Xiao Wu back to the shore. Without resting, he reunited with his companions and immediately headed to the next stop. The final two challenges they faced were undoubtedly the most difficult of all seven. Tang San would ultimately face the most powerful of the seven guardian Douluos of the Sea God, the Sea Dragon Douluo. Zhu Zhuqing, undergoing her fifth Black-level trial, would also face her final test. It was easy to imagine that, as the final test, the difficulty she faced was significantly greater than the other Black-level trials. Passing this test would essentially grant her the Sea God's approval, allowing her to become a part of Sea God Island, and with the same Black-level authority as the guardian Douluos of the Sea God's Seven Sacred Pillars.

As they traversed the forest, Tang San said to Zhu Zhuqing, "Zhuqing, don't push yourself too hard during the challenge later. If things become unbearable, conserve your energy and admit defeat. After I defeat the Sea Witch, you can challenge her again and succeed in one battle."

Zhu Zhuqing, of course, understood Tang San's good intentions. Looking at Dai Mubai, who was nodding repeatedly beside her, a slight smile appeared on her cold, beautiful face. "Thank you, Third Brother. But I believe I can succeed. You've done so much for us in the previous tests. This time, it's my turn to repay you. Don't forget, besides you and Mubai, my soul power is the highest."

Zhu Zhuqing currently possesses a Soul Power level of 78. With Dai Mubai successfully breaking through to level 80, she is the next one preparing to break through to the Soul Douluo realm. As the team's true agility-based Soul Master, she will never easily admit defeat. Perhaps she doesn't have Dai Mubai's formidable physique or Ma Hongjun's terrifying explosive power. But she possesses a speed that none of them have.

Tang San, of course, wouldn't discourage Zhu Zhuqing. He turned his gaze to Ning Rongrong, "Rongrong, how are you? Can you still hold on?"

Ning Rongrong had already participated in three challenges. Although it appeared she was merely providing support from behind, in reality, she consumed more soul power than anyone else except Tang San. For her companions' victory, she had to exert herself to the fullest. While Oscar's sausages provided a safety net, and Tang San could rest for a while during his solo challenges, she wasn't like Tang San, who had opened his eight extraordinary meridians and could replenish his soul power at any time. Her current condition was far from what it used to be. Nevertheless, she nodded. After all, only one final battle remained. After assisting Zhu Zhuqing in completing the challenge, she would have finished her fifth trial.

Tang San didn't say much. The group moved forward swiftly. Dai Mubai, having rested after the previous two battles and benefiting from Oscar's recovery sausage, had regained some of his soul power. He once again unleashed his White Tiger True Form, leading Ning Rongrong, Oscar, and Zhu Zhuqing on their journey. When they reached the sixth of the Seven Sacred Pillars of the Sea God, the Sea Witch's Sacred Pillar, the golden light in the sky indicated that eight hours had passed. Judging from the time available, they still had plenty of time; Tang San had twenty-eight hours left to complete the remaining challenges.

Tang San couldn't rest. This battle was of paramount importance, determining whether Zhu Zhuqing could pass all her tests, and Tang San had to guide her. Although his soul power had recovered to over 80% after the previous battle's absorption, the energy he had expended in the first five battles was far from recovered. Each battle had been against a Title Douluo-level powerhouse, and the battle against Hai Huan Douluo had drained him immensely. Even with his vast spiritual power, he was now feeling fatigued. Fortunately, there was still plenty of time left. After this sixth battle, he would have ample time to rest.

The Sea Witch's Sacred Pillar Altar is quite simple in design, merely a square platform. However, the sacred pillar at its center is anything but ordinary. Rather than a pillar, it's more like a statue. The pillar is entirely white, like jade, and depicts a young girl kneeling on the altar, her hands clasped in prayer before her chest, bowing towards the Temple of the Sea God. Though merely a sculpture, the devout expression on her face is so clear and lifelike.

At the edge of the Sea Witch's sacred pillar, a young girl sat, remarkably possessing a massive fishtail that gracefully curved down to her waist. At that moment, her fishtail gently slapped the surface of the sea. She wore a small black top that didn't even cover her navel. She had large, sky-blue eyes, more like the sky than the ocean, and her exquisitely beautiful face always held a faint smile. She played with the water, her fishtail splashing with delight.

Seemingly sensing the arrival of the Shrek Seven Devils, she raised her head and looked towards the shore. "Are you here to challenge me?" Her silvery voice, tinged with laughter, rang out. The melodious voice made it impossible for anyone to feel any hostility.

Although the girl before them appeared young, everyone understood that as the guardian Douluo of the Sea Witch Sacred Pillar, the Sea Maiden Douluo, her actual age was no less than that of the other guardian Douluos of the Sea God.

Tang San bowed slightly and said, "I have come to seek your guidance, senior. Please show mercy."

"Okay. I'll go easy on you." To everyone's surprise, the Sea Witch Douluo actually nodded in agreement, her innocent face showing no sign of pretense. The Shrek Seven Devils all had the same thought: Could she really be that young?

"Are you all wondering? Don't be. I'm not human, but a mermaid, a half-human, half-sea spirit beast. We mermaid women never age. I'm not a monster, you know. Hehe." The sea witch explained to everyone with a smile.

While others didn't react much to her words, Tang San's expression changed drastically. "Mind reading?"

The Sea Witch also looked at him in surprise. "Ah! You can actually see through my talent. You seem very strong! Oh no, oh no, I'm afraid I'm going to lose today. Why can't I see through your heart?" Her beautiful eyes were full of curiosity, and she quickly noticed the golden trident mark on Tang San's forehead. Then she suddenly realized, "So that's it, you're the human who received the glory of the Nine Trials of the Sea God! With the protection of the Sea God's light, no wonder I can't see through you. You guys are so mean, you actually want to use a war of attrition against me, how can you be so heartless?"

Seeing the Sea Witch's charming smile, the Shrek Seven Devils were speechless. Dai Mubai was the most deeply affected; the Sea Witch undoubtedly possessed immense allure. He would rather fight the Sea Spear Douluo head-on than face such an opponent. Fortunately, this time, her challenger was Zhu Zhuqing, a woman.

"This is our test, it has nothing to do with whether you can bear it or not." Zhu Zhuqing's cold voice interrupted the sea witch's voice. She pulled Ning Rongrong up and floated up, using the sea surface for leverage. After a few leaps, they landed in front of the sea witch's holy pillar.

The sea witch showed no intention of attacking them, instead curiously widening her eyes to look at them. "Sisters, you're both so beautiful. This is the first time I've ever seen girls as beautiful as me." She wasn't boasting; in terms of looks, she was indeed on par with Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong. She also possessed a captivating charm from the sea that the two women lacked.

Zhu Zhuqing shielded Ning Rongrong behind her and immediately unleashed her martial spirit. Ning Rongrong couldn't help but ask, "Sister? Senior, may I ask how old you are?"

The Sea Witch Douluo innocently counted on her fingers, her long fishtail rising from the seawater and landing on the sacred pillar, transforming into legs, a long black dress covering them. "I can't remember exactly, was it ninety-six or ninety-seven? Wow, sister, why do you look so pale! I'm not saying you're old, our mermaid race has a lifespan five times that of you humans. By your human proportions, I'm not even twenty years old yet. Calling you 'sister' isn't wrong, is it? Look, this statue is my ancestor. When we leave the sea, we transform into human form, but only for a short time, otherwise we'll die. My grandfather is the current patriarch of the mermaid race. He said I have extraordinary talent, a genius that appears only once every ten thousand years in the mermaid race, so he sent me to guard the sacred pillar. But, it's so boring here. I don't like this monotonous life, but I can't leave. Sisters, you're both so beautiful, let's not fight and kill each other, okay? I'll play a tune for you, and after you finish, you'll pass, how about that?"

As she spoke, she moved her left hand slightly in front of her, and a black flute appeared in her grasp. She spun it around and brought it to her lips under the control of both hands.

"Don't let her blow! Attack immediately! Rongrong, don't release your domain! Attack with all your might!" Tang San shouted directly instead of using telepathy.

Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong's hostility towards the Sea Witch lessened after hearing her words, but Tang San's voice was like a command to them. Almost reflexively, Zhu Zhuqing darted forward, her body transforming into a series of afterimages as she attacked the Sea Witch. Ning Rongrong's Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda appeared at the same time, its first strike aimed at Zhu Zhuqing, amplifying her agility. Zhu Zhuqing's body instantly became ethereal. Sharp cat claws reached for the Sea Witch's wrist and the black flute.

The sea witch frowned slightly, and the light around her body suddenly became illusory. Nine neat soul rings quietly appeared on the black flute. The second soul ring lit up, and in that illusory state, her figure swayed. Although she could not completely dodge Zhu Zhuqing's rapid attacks, she tapped the black flute in her hand three times, all of which hit Zhu Zhuqing's cat paws and repelled her.

She rolled her eyes at Tang San on the shore. "You're so mean. You have no chivalry at all. How annoying. She plays the flute very well."

Although she said this, Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong's expressions had already become serious. From the nine spirit rings that appeared on the black flute, they realized they had been tricked. If this sea witch really played a tune, who knows what would happen?

The sea witch seemed completely oblivious to being exposed. She darted and dodged Zhu Zhuqing's attacks while anxiously pleading, "Sisters, don't listen to that bad person. Let me play a tune for you. It's really beautiful."

Zhu Zhuqing ignored her, but she was secretly alarmed. This sea witch hadn't used any skills to withstand her rapid attacks, and she seemed to be a weapon spirit master. This challenge was probably very difficult.

Amidst Zhu Zhuqing's relentless onslaught, the Sea Witch seemed somewhat displeased, pouting and saying, "Sister, how can you be like this? You're a girl, why are you being so rude like those men? However, I still won't blame you. Let me play you a tune."

As she spoke, the sea witch nimbly dodged Zhu Zhuqing's cat claws, then leaped backward and plunged into the sea.

Zhu Zhuqing, of course, wouldn't let her succeed so easily. She suddenly gave chase, unleashing her third soul skill, Netherworld Slash. Thanks to Ning Rongrong's speed and attack amplification, even though this was only her third soul skill, for an agility-type soul master, such speed naturally led to a significant increase in attack power.

The black shadow caught up with the sea witch's tumbling figure in the air, but the people on the shore heard a string of silvery laughter, "Sister, you've been tricked."

A strange ripple spread from the sea witch's body, enveloping her and Zhu Zhuqing. It forcibly severed the light amplification of Ning Rongrong's Nine Treasures Glazed Pagoda. The sea witch's body shifted three feet in the air, just in time to dodge Zhu Zhuqing's pounce. Her toes lightly touched the water's surface, and her two long legs returned to their fishtail shape. With a turn of her body, her huge fishtail lashed out at the attacking Zhu Zhuqing.

Seeing this, Dai Mubai on the shore couldn't help but feel anxious. He could tell that this sea witch's attack power and explosive force might not be that strong, but she had a lot of versatile skills. Combined with her mind-reading ability and her deceptively charming appearance, she had firmly suppressed Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong.

Just then, Zhu Zhuqing's body suddenly vanished, and the sea witch's massive tail lashed out in the air, creating a series of distorted ripples. A look of bewilderment crossed her clear eyes; she clearly didn't understand why things had turned out this way. She could clearly sense Zhu Zhuqing's thoughts through her mind-reading ability, yet everything before her seemed to have changed.

Zhu Zhuqing certainly wouldn't truly disappear. Just as the fishtail struck, her body suddenly split apart—yes, split apart. She transformed into dozens of figures scattering in the air. Each phantom seemed real, using the sea's surface for leverage before simultaneously converging on the Sea Witch. She was using her fourth soul skill, Netherworld Shadow Clone. Meanwhile, Ning Rongrong on the shore didn't rush to amplify her power again. Instead, she flashed and hid behind the Sea Witch's sacred pillar.

The situation changed, but the sea witch reacted very quickly. Facing attacks from all directions, her body suddenly accelerated, not to dodge, but to sink. With a splash, she disappeared into the sea.

Zhu Zhuqing's thoughts were certainly sensed by the Sea Witch's mind-reading ability, but Tang San's guidance through telepathy enabled her to make a change. From the moment Tang San's voice appeared to the moment Zhu Zhuqing used the Netherworld Shadow Clone Technique, only a blink of an eye had passed. In such a short time, the Sea Witch naturally couldn't sense anything.

"Rongrong, be careful!" Zhu Zhuqing screamed as she lunged towards the Sea Witch's Holy Pillar while still in mid-air.
