Father and Daughter

The cultivators gained control back over their qi. They then quickly jumped back, putting distance between them. 

But just as this happened, the dark domain on the ground started spreading, following them. From it, many eyes opened up; it then shot shadow spears toward them.

The spike that hit the strong cultivator also started to contort and grow in size.

It began transforming into a humanoid shadow that looked exactly the same as the cultivator they faced.

"You wretched creature," one of the cultivators yelled. He blasted out, creating a huge flame in the form of a tiger.
