As he reached a secluded alley, he knew someone still followed him. He couldn't get away from her. No matter what he did and wherever he went, her aura kept following him. That person didn't even try to hide her holy aura.
"I'm here. Come out." Liu Kang stopped, and his hand instinctively tightened around his hidden daggers.
