The Martial Unity

In less than a second, Rui had already made deep gashes across all their bodies, killing them on the spot. He ensured that the length and depth as well as the distance between the gashes was consistent and equal across all bodies.

All of this was to reinforce the idea that a beast had killed them instead of a Martial Artist. If Rui had killed them with his techniques, then it would be quite difficult to believe that a carnivore was responsible for his deaths. Vranil might come to suspect that it was a human.

Suddenly, Rui turned around sharply as Seismic Mapping picked up a powerful seismic signature in the village moving towards his direction at an incredible speed.

('It's time') He grabbed one of the corpses, slit its throat and sprinting away deeper into the forest an incredible speed, dragging the corpse with him by the arm.

The corpse left a large trail of blood as Rui dragged it along, indicating the path Rui had taken.

Just two seconds later, Vranil arrived at the location of the corpses.

As Rui had predicted.

Rui had ensured that all nine men were screaming as loud as possible, screeching to their absolute limits.

There was no way the Ruyloken Gang failed to hear them, the men must have quickly informed Vranil of the screams and he must have dispatched immediately. That was the reason Rui tortured them before killing them.

All to draw Vranil out from the village.
