"What!", instead of anger or sadness towards the brutal death of one of her fellow clan members, Mariana was at disbelief at the previous scene, she had clashed with Alexandra many times and thus she was sure that the light gray-haired girl didn't have the strength to instantly kill the peak stage male elder, with a random attack like that one.
She could still somewhat come to terms when Alexandra killed one of the early-stage elders, as he was taken by surprise and was also attacked on an area where the defense wasn't exactly the highest, the head.
However, the peak stage male elder, did use his shield to block the attack and unlike her who was more on the balanced side having both defense and offense capacities, the vice-leader of her team was a pure defense-oriented cultivator.
