Ryu didn't react to these words. Though, in action, it looked like he was much too slow to react. The words of the Luminara Clan Dao God were acted upon so swiftly that it seemed almost too obvious that all of this was planned in advance.
However, what they had underestimated was Ryu's thinking speed. He might have been weak, but between his innate strengths thanks to the unique combination of talents he was born with, not to mention his Internal Matrix, the movements of these Dao Lords and Dao Sovereigns were well within his purview. If not, he would have never been able to act with enough precision and ferocity to deal a dead blow to a Dao Sovereign.
So, just when it seemed that the Dao Lords were about to reach him, he spoke calmly.
"Sure, you can have a go. We'll see who's faster, the pitiful Dao Lords and Sovereigns of your Clan, or me. And if you think taking my eyes is so easy… I have quite the rude awakening for you."
