"A mantis trying to stop a chariot!"
Although she noticed the peculiarity of the sword in Wyatt Barnes's hand, Eliel Howard still didn't take Wyatt's strike to heart.
In her view, it was just the attack of a Martial Artist at the peak of the Great Saint Realm. Even if he were given the mighty famous sword 'Nine Heavens Sword' from the Top Ten Sacred Artifact List, there was no way he could block her strike!
This was her confidence as a Demon Cultivator at the late stage of the Human Saint Realm!
If it weren't for her fear of the Demon Sealing Monument in Wyatt's hand, she wouldn't have remained hidden, waiting for the right moment to strike.
As soon as Tommy Dunn appeared, temporarily distracting the Demon Sealing Monument, she realized this was her best chance to act.
Therefore, upon seeing her probing strike's reaction from the Demon Sealing Monument, and once it did not abandon Tommy Dunn, she seized the opportunity to act with speed!
