Elena frowned at the sudden change in Aldrian. His bearing and aura had become much stronger, exuding a pressure that should not belong to someone at the Marquess stage. She felt shaken—why would a cultivator at his level emit such an overwhelming and stifling presence? It was beyond her comprehension.
What she didn't know was that she was already inside one of Aldrian's domains—one he had established upon arriving in this city, days before he attacked the Larson family. As a precaution, he had created several domains, and one of them happened to be here, just outside the city walls, where few people ever passed.
Aldrian lured her here not only because this was his domain, but also because he was curious about Elena and wanted to face her personally.
Aldrian suddenly disappeared from Elena's sight, making her eyes widen in shock. However, she quickly lifted her peak Heaven-grade sword and blocked the sudden attack coming from her left.
Tang! Whoosh!
