Twiing!
As Aldrian plucked the string, a piercing sound erupted, causing Elis's ears to ring with such intensity that her eardrums began to tear and bleed. Desperately, she placed one hand on the string to halt its vibration while stretching her other hand toward Aldrian's face in a swift palm strike.
This man was using her own guqin against her! Had he also comprehended the sound element and mastered sound laws?
Noticing the incoming palm strike, Aldrian calmly grabbed her wrist. Anticipating his reaction, Elis swiftly snapped her fingers right in front of his face.
Snap!
The snapping sound reverberated in Aldrian's ears, but his expression remained calm and unmoved. Without hesitation, his other hand reached out and gripped Elis's neck firmly.
