Qin Siyang sprinted toward Yamamoto Taro.
He seemed to be taking the initiative, but in truth, he was cautiously testing his opponent.
Though he had declared that he would kill Yamamoto Taro, judging by the man's tone, he seemed to be a veteran Sequence Level Five who had taken plenty of Sequence Potions, just like Yamamoto Jiro.
Qin Siyang did not know how much prolonged use of Sequence Potions could change someone's strength.

But Yamamoto Taro flipped backward in midair and landed
