The Martial Unity

It wasn't that Rui wasn't aware of this shortcoming, he was shrewd enough to realize that a dynamic defense that relies on palm interception is held back by the fact that he has only two palms. Arms were part of the upper body, which meant intercepting powerful torque-empowered strikes to the body below the waist took a greater amount of time and energy, and had a larger margin for error.

Furthermore, if the one launching the attacks was someone with as much of a relentless dynamic and flexible offense as that of his opponent, there was no doubt going to be several opportunities that his opponent could probably exploit to land strikes against him.

This was one of those instances.

"Heh," A wild grin covered his mouth as he launched himself toward Rui, oozing an aggressive savage aura. The success had given him great confidence that he could eventually completely crack Rui's strangely effective defense. He threw a wild attack at Rui, yet to his surprise

BAM!!

"ARGH!" The man grimaced in pain as Rui's elbow dug deep into his gut. Rui had evaded the attack cleanly before launching a powerful attack deep into his gut as he charged forward. The sheer power of the impact flung him hundreds of meters away!

"Rgh!" The man stopped his momentum midair, furious.

Yet Rui didn't intend to give him any leeway. Yet, this time, he didn't close the distance between them to launch attacks. Instead, he opened his mouth slightly.

THWOOM!

POW!

The man grimaced as an expression of pain and fury enveloped his face. The long-range attack had caught him off-guard, he did not expect that his opponent possessed such a capability given that he fought close range from the very get-go.

What surprised him more was that the ability had struck him right in the face.

Was that a fluke?

He didn't think so, only Martial Artists specialized in long-range combat could achieve such accuracy in the middle of combat.
