Qian Renxue Wants to Take On Four Alone
High in the sky, Tang San tightened his grip on the Asura Demon Sword, a chill running through him.
The warning that came from my intuition came from the three figures that suddenly appeared in front of me.
He naturally recognized Zhu Zhuqing among them.
With astonishing talent and formidable strength, the Netherworld White Tiger Martial Soul was exceptionally powerful. Back when he was studying at the Shrek Academy, he was the only one who could consistently outclass him in combat power.
However, ever since he passed the God-level trial on Sea God Island, he no longer takes the other party seriously, especially now that he has the Asura Godhood.
But for some reason, Zhu Zhuqing in front of me seemed somewhat unfamiliar.
In particular, the aura emanating from the pair of long, hurricane-formed wings behind the other party gave him an extremely sharp and swift feeling, making them unpredictable and elusive.
Moreover, it wasn't just a fluctuation in the level of power; there was also a significant change in temperament.
While Zhu Zhuqing was indeed aloof in the past, he didn't possess the indifference he has today. He seemed unconcerned with anything external, and his transcendent demeanor made him even more like a deity than he is now.
On the opposite right side was a stunningly beautiful woman with silver hair and purple eyes, who was quite eye-catching.
There are many beauties in the Douluo Continent. Xiao Wu, Zhu Zhuqing, and even Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue, whom I fought against before, all have flawless appearances and their faces are as perfect and moving as if created by nature.
However, compared to the woman in front of them, the others all lacked a certain elegance.
Perhaps it was her unique eyebrows, eyes, and hair color that made her look like a dream, almost otherworldly, like a phantom that had stepped out of a painting.
However, what truly made Tang San feel like he was facing a formidable enemy was the young man standing between the two.
Judging by appearance alone, this man could be described as handsome and dashing, but he was by no means outstanding. At least compared to the two women beside him, there were some flaws in his appearance.
At first glance, it appears gentle and peaceful, nothing special, but upon closer inspection, one feels its remarkable grandeur, as if it could encompass the vast green mountains and the pure, bright moon within its embrace.
But beneath its weight lies a profound sharpness, like a divine sword in its sheath, gathering its strength.
Looking at the three people in front of him, Tang San felt a slight sense of doubt.
Aside from Zhu Zhuqing, he had never seen the other two before. More importantly, they did not have any divine power fluctuations, yet their auras were unfathomable.
It seems that the brief confinement I was just subjected to was the work of this person.
Thinking of this, Tang San frowned, glanced at Zhu Zhuqing, then at Su Yue with her silver hair and purple eyes, and finally looked at Su Cheng before speaking, "You—"
He stopped abruptly before he could finish speaking, and then looked down in disbelief.
A sword wound cut across his chest, leaving a faint bloodstain that stood out even against the backdrop of his crimson armor.
The next moment, the Asura Divine Power receded like a tide, and Xiao Wu's body appeared behind him, with an identical scar on her chest.
The fusion of their divine powers was directly broken.
Life was quickly extinguished, and the two, their eyes filled with despair, could not utter a single word.
Su Cheng didn't look at Tang San again. His lips parted slightly, and then all the members of the Spirit Hall heard the same voice. "The Sea God is dead. Full attack!"
As he spoke, Su Cheng's senses had already silently spread downwards, secretly observing the situation on Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue's side.
Tang San's death did not stir up the slightest ripple in his heart.
Strategic planning emphasizes formation and seizing opportunities, so Su Cheng had not been in a hurry before this, but instead focused all his efforts on preparing for today.
It didn't matter how much Tang San grew; he collected intelligence from various channels, always keeping his sights on the Divine Realm, and using his spare energy to plan other things.
For example, the awakening of the Spirit Core, and even laying the groundwork for improving the relationships between the group after the Simulation ends, are the issues that the scumbag Cheng painstakingly considers.
Of the women, Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue are the most difficult to deal with. Besides the relationship and estrangement between them, Qian Renxue's personality is also the most extreme.
Breaking the long-standing resentment between the two is not difficult.
After this battle, the mother and daughter, who were willing to give their lives for each other in critical moments, could no longer deceive themselves about the bond of blood, even if they were unwilling to admit it in the short term.
The problem lies in Qian Renxue's attitude towards Su Cheng's feelings.
In a relationship, both men and women hope that the other will be loyal to them, which is a perfectly reasonable and normal desire.
However, compared to her, the others tolerated Su Cheng's scumbag behavior for various reasons.
But Qian Renxue is different.
In her view, she was the first person to meet Su Cheng, and she had the deepest feelings for Su Cheng. The two of them could be considered the true "original couple." Moreover, in terms of strength and ability, no one else was as good as her, so there was no reason for her to back down.
Based on this, Su Cheng came up with a solution.
In this world, I choose to be with Bibi Dong first.
Neither Qian Renxue nor Bibi Dong knew that the existence of this world was related to Su Cheng.
Zhu Zhuqing was able to detect this because Su Cheng started his scheme at a very young age in the Star Luo Empire's Simulated World, which was clearly problematic.
However, in both the first and third Simulation, he was already an adult when he appeared before the two of them. At most, he could be described as having remarkable talent and deep cunning, but he was not considered strange, at least not enough to arouse suspicion.
In a virtual space infinitely far away from the Douluo Plane, a mesmerizing array of colors shimmered.
Two figures, one blue and one red, floated silently in the scene, displaying a huge picture that showed everything that was happening in Jialing Pass.
"Asura, do you think our actions count as cheating? You are the enforcer of the law in our Divine Realm; this is a case of knowingly breaking the law."
What evidence do you have that I knowingly broke the law?
"Not yet? You used Xiao Wu's body as a wedding dress, and when Tang San inherited the Sea God, you hid your Asura God power in his second martial soul."
"This is just some convenience I made for my successor, just like how you appeared in front of Tang San when he was inheriting the Sea God Inheritance. Compared to your actions, what is this? I didn't even help him with the inheritance."
These two figures were none other than the Sea God and the Asura God from the Divine Realm.
The two of them looked unusually relaxed at this moment.
With the defeat of the successors of the Angel God and the Rakshasa God, it can be said that their chosen successor's ascension to the Divine Realm is a foregone conclusion.
Until Su Cheng and his two companions appeared at Jialing Pass.
The Asura God's gaze sharpened, and the Sea God also seemed puzzled. His eyes then locked onto Su Yue among the three, and he hesitated, saying, "She is..."
"The Silver Dragon King." The Asura God frowned deeply. "She—"
Before he could finish speaking, his voice abruptly stopped, his gaze shifting and instantly locking onto the young man standing in the center, whom he hadn't initially paid much attention to. The sheer power of Su Cheng's True Power couldn't be discerned from the visuals alone; Tang San's perception was even less acute than Tang San's, who was directly facing Su Cheng.
At the same time, Tang San and Xiao Wu were instantly annihilated.
"Who is he?! Asura, you..."
As soon as the Sea God finished speaking, he immediately realized something was wrong.
Turning around, they discovered that the figure of the Asura God had disappeared at some point.
On the top of Jialing Pass, the atmosphere between Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue was somewhat strange, and carried a strange awkwardness.
At this moment, Bibi Dong's previous fatal injuries were no longer visible.
With Tang San's death and the two surviving, their fates were reversed, and the Spirit Core hidden in their sea of consciousness were awakened.
Qian Renxue lowered her eyes, her gaze flickering with countless chaotic lights and shadows...
No wonder...
No wonder I felt a strange sense of familiarity from the first time I met him.
No wonder he found it so hard to accept after learning about his relationship with Bibi Dong.
It turns out that the subtle, intense emotions in my subconscious were not an illusion...
If I had to describe it, it's probably like a dream. The preferences and perceptions in a dream are naturally based on the evolution of one's real self.
However, people in a dream often find it difficult to realize that they are dreaming.
The only difference between the two is that dreams are chaotic and blurry, lacking such a strong sense of realism...
"Ahem, sorry, I suddenly remembered something while I was cultivating, so I'm late."
Su Cheng landed beside the two, coughed lightly to assert his presence, and at the same time unintentionally expressed his innocence.
Zhu Zhuqing gave him a mocking look, but didn't say anything more.
Bibi Dong pursed her lips slightly, glanced at Su Cheng, then looked at Qian Renxue beside her, seemingly wanting to say something but holding back.
Qian Renxue remained silent with her head bowed.
The blazing white flames on his body burned silently, and the blazing white flames in his lowered eyes also flickered uncertainly, indicating that his state was extremely unstable.
Su Yue also sensed the strange atmosphere here. She turned her gaze around and scanned the people present, finally fixing her gaze on Qian Renxue.
This girl has such a powerful aura...
Her so-called strength does not refer to the energy fluctuations that Qian Renxue exudes.
In terms of sheer power, he's probably at the peak of Third-Level God, which is about the same as Su Yue's current strength.
What's frightening is its energy nature.
The feeling of burning everything and illuminating all things was like an inextinguishable sun, which even made her feel a little terrified.
Before this, Su Yue could never have imagined that someone could control the power of the sun.
This is not the so-called Sun True Fire used by the Angel God, but the real Blazing Sun Power.
The sun is one of the energy sources for all things in the world, a realm that even the gods of the Divine Realm cannot reach.
Almost all the myriad planes in this world live and thrive under the sun's radiance, and most of them only enjoy the afterglow of the Sun Star's projection.
Even at the height of the Dragon God's power, the Sun Star was a rare and powerful entity that he feared, revered, and found difficult to reach.
"... Xiao Xue?"
Su Cheng had no time to consider Su Yue's thoughts, and looked at the restless Qian Renxue, calling out softly.
"..."
Qian Renxue remained silent.
She actually understands the current situation.
After all, I had a similar experience before.
However, the difference is that back then she only understood everything after returning to reality.
This time, however, she woke up ahead of schedule in this world.
Above the vast, blazing white sea of consciousness, a long-unseen confrontation scene unfolded once again.
Dressed in black, Qian Renxue's eyes were gloomy as she hissed, "He's here. Have you made up your mind yet?"
Faced with her questioning, the white-clad figure opposite remained silent.
"And it's not just Bibi Dong and Zhu Zhuqing, there's also a white-haired one... no, there's another aura inside Su Cheng's body. Damn it, I can't take it anymore!"
"...Wait." Qian Renxue, dressed in white, raised her head, her eyes dim and confused. "This time, I'm too late."
"What does it have to do with sooner or later? Is this something you can just give up?"
"..."
Seeing her fall silent again, the figure in black's eyes flickered, and a thought quickly crossed his mind.
The two were twins, sharing the same will. She understood that what the other was struggling with was not just the principle behind the existence of this world, nor was it merely a trivial matter of who came first.
The most crucial conflict is with Bibi Dong.
What are you planning to do?
"...have no idea."
"Fine, then I'll kill all those guys. Anyway, this is just a fake world."
After saying that, she didn't wait for the other party's response and her consciousness directly withdrew from this space.
In reality, the blazing white flame in Qian Renxue's eyes went out, and then her white clothes turned pitch black, and her long golden hair shone with a dark silver-gray luster.
Su Yue's eyes flickered slightly as she noticed that with this strange change in the other party, the nature of their aura seemed to have changed as well. Although it was still powerful, it was no longer as terrifying as before.
At least, with her current strength, she is 90% confident that she can defeat her opponent.
Bibi Dong took a deep breath and whispered, "Xiao Xue..."
"Don't call me that so affectionately, I don't know you at all," Qian Renxue said coldly.
Upon hearing this, Bibi Dong was taken aback at first, but then noticed the other person's gaze and immediately realized what was going on.
This is the abnormal Xiao Xue.
She knew that Qian Renxue's second soul originated from the negative emotions that had accumulated in the other person's heart over the years. It could be said that she herself was one of the culprits that brought about the emergence of this personality.
Given this, it's impossible for the other party to be like the normal Xiao Xue, still retaining feelings like "family affection." It would be good enough if they didn't treat her as an enemy.
After Qian Renxue finished speaking, she completely ignored Bibi Dong's meaning and slowly walked to Su Cheng.
She glanced at Zhu Zhuqing, who was standing right next to Su Cheng, and said indifferently, "Get out of here."
Zhu Zhuqing raised an eyebrow, a flash of bloodlust in her eyes, and suddenly spread her Wind God Wings, revealing White Tiger phantom behind her.
She wasn't actually afraid unless the other party was in an extremely bizarre fusion state.
Who is stronger and who is weaker will only be known after the fight.
Seeing that things were not going well, Su Cheng quickly stepped in front of the two and said seriously, "Xiao Xue, you may not be aware of the current situation. Even if the successor of the Asura God is dead, the real former Asura God is still in the Divine Realm. That guy is much more powerful and could descend at any time. Now is not the time for internal strife."
"Ha, internal strife? Who's 'internal' with her! Besides, I've always been like this, and you're only just realizing that?" Qian Renxue stared intently at him and sneered, "Su Cheng, I thought you understood my personality well. What does the big picture have to do with me?"
Su Cheng felt a headache coming on upon hearing this.
However, he was not entirely unprepared for the current situation.
In fact, Qian Renxue's attitude at this moment was not much worse than he had expected.
At least with her memories restored and Bibi Dong also involved with her, only her second personality clearly showed a tough attitude, which proves that her previous strategy was meaningful.
It seems that the less extreme main personality is already hesitant about Bibi Dong's existence and even about their relationship, but it will just take some time for them to accept it.
"Su Cheng, what's wrong with her?"
At this moment, Su Yue, who had been ignored by everyone for a long time, suddenly asked calmly.
However, although she appeared calm on the surface, she was actually extremely unhappy inside.
For some reason, Su Yue suddenly felt ostracized, as if she had become an outsider.
There seemed to be some strange tacit understanding among these people.
But this makes no sense.
I've known Su Cheng for over a decade, and no one knows him better than I do about his social circle, the people he knows, or even his background.
She was clearly the first person in the world to meet him, so how did things inexplicably turn out like this...?
"None of your business?"
Before Su Cheng could answer, Qian Renxue sneered first.
A flash of anger crossed Su Yue's eyes. She abruptly turned to look directly at her. "I'm his sister!"
"Sister? Haha." Qian Renxue suddenly threw her head back and laughed.
The laughter contained no kindness whatsoever, but was instead filled with sarcasm.
"One minute she's calling me 'little sister,' the next she's calling me 'older sister.' In a while, will she start calling me 'lover' or 'baby'? You can get lost too. This isn't your place to speak." After saying that, she looked at Su Cheng again, "Where's that Blue Silver Emperor? What's she hiding for? Let her come out."
Su Cheng: "..."
Xiao Xue's attack power after awakening is a bit too strong.
First, he made Bibi Dong depressed, then he argued with Zhu Zhuqing, then he angrily berated Su Yue, and finally he's about to give Ah Yin a piece of his mind.
Thankfully, this is just a second personality. If it were like the time in real life, where the two souls merged and went berserk, the situation would probably have spiraled out of control again.
Su Cheng sighed, not intending to let Ah Yin out, and said, "Xiao Xue, we entered this world against our will; we didn't know what was going on at first. Dong'er and I—"
"Dong'er?!" Qian Renxue suddenly grabbed Su Cheng's collar and growled, "That's my mother!"
"..."
Didn't you say before that you weren't familiar with her?
Su Cheng hesitated for a moment, and was about to say something more when Ah Yin suddenly appeared beside him.
As she appeared, a tranquil and gentle aura spread out, and the unusually restless atmosphere here seemed to calm down considerably.
Ah Yin glanced at the people present, then said softly, "Qian Renxue, can I talk to you?"
It's a bit long, so I'm posting it late. I'll correct any typos later.
