"Haha! Where's Ethan? Does he even have the guts to face me?" Kai shouted, his laughter echoing across the skies. The sound carried his arrogance like a wave, sharp enough to agitate the protective barriers around the Azure Origin Dao Sect.
Althea's cold gaze cut through his boasting like a blade. Her fingers twitched in restraint; were it not for her position controlling the defensive formation, that boy's arrogance would have been silenced permanently.
She simply frowned, saying nothing, though her suppressed spiritual energy surged faintly—the air shivered around her like a drawn bow ready to release.
Kai sneered, mistaking her silence for fear. "Haha, look at that! Even the great Althea is terrified! Your precious Ethan must be a coward if he won't show his face. I'm not even at the Void Amalgamation Realm yet, and he dares not challenge me?"
He spread his arms wide, voice dripping with disdain. "Where is he? Or is he still licking his wounds from fighting Bram yesterday?"
