ZOOOOOM!
Zhou Mei felt a strike directed straight towards her neck the next instant, and acting solely on her instincts, she immediately raised her sword to the likely position of contact to block Yi Chen's impending strike.
However, to her surprise, before their swords could even make contact, Yi Chen's sword curved around hers, and the next second the tip of his blade was pointing right at her forehead.
"…"
"How about now? Were you able to tell the direction of my sword this time?"
"I-I wasn't."
Zhou Mei shook her head with a surprise evident on her face. This time she was clearly able to tell that Yi Chen hadn't changed the speed of his sword at all, and despite that, she still wasn't able to block it.
"That's because my mind was empty throughout, and that's the reason why you couldn't see my sword's flow."
Yi Chen retracted his sword the next second.
