Divorced and Dominant Now You Cry novel Chapter 1055

Chapter 1055

In an instant, Eden went from holding the advantage to being pushed on the defensive.

“This guy… Can he really defeat me?” she muttered, swallowing hard.

Her spiritual energy surged, forming layer after layer of ice shields. She tried to block the incoming sword power, but the momentum crashed down like a rising tide and swallowed her whole in an instant.

A series of sonic booms erupted. As the dust and turbulent energy finally settled, she staggered and stumbled backward. The ice shields before her had been shattered under the sword power of Ebon Dragon Slash. Parts of her clothing had been torn apart, exposing patches of her mesmerizing fair skin.

Eden looked disheveled, and her breathing had grown ragged. She was certain now that Ashton’s last strike was enough to threaten even a semi-otherworldly expert. One small mistake and she could lose this fight.

She steadied herself, but before she could fully recover, a terrifying killing intent descended upon her again.

Her eyes widened in shock as she realized he was already right in front of her. His domain had closed around her, and she was completely within his attack range. She couldn’t understand how he had done it.

Eden quickly took a few steps back to put some distance between them. She asked in a low voice, “After attacking, shouldn’t it take time to recover your energy? How are you transitioning between attacks so smoothly?”

“Wait until I defeat you. Then, I’ll slowly explain it to you,” Ashton replied with a chuckle.

His gaze lingered on her figure-on her curves, and her fair skin. The Drakell Technique stirred within him again, and his Drakeborne lineage reacted, pushing him toward another surge of desire.

Hearing that, Eden’s expression turned icy. She couldn’t help wondering if he thought he had her cornered.

“I’m afraid you won’t get that chance. I won’t go down that easily,” she said.

She no longer dared to underestimate him and focused all her attention on the fight. But she avoided meeting Ashton’s gaze because she knew the lust in his eyes would unsettle her and affect her control over her power.

Eden couldn’t lose to Ashton. At least for now, losing this encounter was utterly unacceptable.

“Is that so? You don’t get to decide that.”

Ashton crouched low before lunging at Eden like an arrow released from its bow. He unleashed a barrage of rapid-fire punches, determined to suppress and defeat this semi-otherworldly expert. This was the perfect moment to hone his martial arts skills.

Ashton went berserk again as he entered a state of complete “selfless” focus. His gaze locked intently onto Eden.

Eden’s heart sank. Gritting her teeth, she abandoned all restraint and channeled every ounce of her strength into meeting his charge.

The two became a blur as they locked in a fierce, close-quarters struggle. Whirlwinds of energy tore through the air, followed by a relentless succession of explosions.

The fight had reached a point where neither side could gain the upper hand. This was a battle of pride and glory.

“Eden, you’re my woman. I’m not letting you get away!”

Ashton’s excitement surged. Every cell in his body seemed to ignite with newfound power. The thought of defeating her filled him with an intoxicating sense of achievement.

“You think too highly of yourself. No one has ever defeated me!”

Eden’s body trembled as she poured her entire soul into the fight.
