Yet to make a move, Mei Siren softly stated:
"I shall only make one move, so don't dodge. I still need to teach."
"Teach?" Number Two felt a sense of absurdity.
Only a madman would entertain the idea of using Number Two as a teaching subject.
He wanted to strike pre-emptively, obliterating everything that might happen after Mei Siren's move.
But gazing into Mei Siren's calm eyes, Number Two restrained this impulse and saw the bigger picture:
Mei Siren had not made his move earlier because the countdown to exile had restricted him. Now, having cleared the countdown, he had reached the peak of his combat strength.
Then, would this ancient swordsman, who had defied death, possess a battle consciousness inferior to that of Dao Qiongcang, the creator of Divine Oracle?
No, he would not!
Thus, Number Two could strike first, but it would inevitably trigger Mei Siren's early reaction and attack.
