The Martial Unity

RUMBLE!

A small mountain erupted from within the depths of the land, displaced by the sheer power that Rui exerted.

The Roaring Dragon Blood Potion benefitted his long-range techniques the most, increasing their upper limit significantly.

"Aarggrhrhrgrvhghrgr!" The Suffocator's unintelligible screams echoed through the air.

CRACK CRACK CRACK!

The gear that surrounded his torso, that attached to his mask broke down.

Rui's eyes narrowed as he recognized what the contraption was. "Just as I thought. You avoided your own domains by having breathing cylinders feed your air through your mask."

In other words, he was using a special artifact contraption to mitigate the shortcomings of his own techniques.

Rui's mouth curled with contempt. "You're a disgrace of a Martial Artist. You will never become a Martial Master."

"Kugh!" The man coughed a bout of blood. "Hehehe...you maybe right. But I won't be the one dying here today.

Before Rui could finish him off, he felt a surge of peril behind him.

FLICK!

SPLAT

It was a simple nick, yet Rui's eyes widened with alarm when he saw the color of the woman's skin and nails that drew his blood.

'Poison,' He cursed as he leaped away.

His eyes narrowed with severity as he made a painful decision.

SPLAT!

A piece of the chunk that had been inflicted with the toxin was cleaved off his shoulder with some precise heaven-bending as he immediately activated Weaving Blood, regenerating the missing chunk of his shoulder.

He glanced at the severed piece of his flesh with a grave expression.

SIZZLE

It had already begun rotting at an alarming rate.

"Your regeneration is far better than the intelligence reports indicated," The woman's course voice reached out to him. "Yet it will not save you next time."
