Kapitel 126: Bittersweet Victory

Aksai believed in overpowering his enemies using all the advantages he possessed. He preferred to avoid prolonged battles unless absolutely necessary.

Moreover, Spirit cultivators were notorious for their arsenal of tricks and techniques. Aksai understood that while he could gauge his opponents' combat skills, he couldn't underestimate the hidden trump cards they might possess.

Deciding to change the dynamics of the encounter, Aksai smiled at Aria and Darius before speaking calmly.
