No choice left.
Hou Niao frustratingly realized that while he indeed achieved his purpose of controlling the stage, he also lost any room for choice.
He hoped to compete with Yue Duo, just as Yue Duo wanted to find him.
When he saw the twelve visitors from outer space, his keen sense for swords immediately identified the woman as his kind, just as Yue Duo pinpointed him from the Constellation True Inheritors.
This was why he did not enter the battlefield—he was waiting for this woman.
Unfortunately, Gou Du failed to see this, paying a tragic price.
While he had interest in other cosmic visitors, they paled in comparison to witnessing the outer space sword skill.
The sword Yue Duo wielded was a textbook example of Sword Light Division. He saw clearly how it divided into sixty-four streams of sword light, but the true essence was in the final Unify Sword.
