Rui wasn't stupid.
He knew there wasn't anything he could do against a Martial Master even if that Martial Master was implicitly threatening his family just by mentioning the effect of their disappearance on Rui.
Still, he couldn't help it. Perhaps it was because of the impact of the late Deacon on him, he was far more sensitive to that threat than he was before.
That's why he knew that accepting this little challenge was objectively not the best choice he could have made.
Still, he didn't care.
The battle began sooner than even he expected.
WHOOSH!
He inhaled powerfully, activating Gale Force Breathing, launching himself forward at incredible speeds.
POW POW POW!
An onslaught of blows crashed onto Master Krakule's guard.
BAM!!!
A powerful kick surged toward the Master's head with immense force.
WHOOSH!
Master Krakule evaded it, straightening his palms as several palm jabs curled forward towards Rui.
SPLAT SPLAT SPLAT!
Rui's eyes widened as many light gashes appeared across his entire body as Master Krakule's palms flew back, stained with Rui's blood at the finger tips.
Yet the elder Master wasn't done, his attacks curled in all kinds of trajectories at absurdly high speeds, rushing forward towards Rui.
Yet, something had changed.
