The Martial Unity

"Speed Void."

WHOOSH!

The Gatekeeper's narrowed as Rui cleanly evaded the finishing blow, leaping away as heaven and earth itself seemed to shackle the Gatekeeper in place.

That wasn't all.

"Fuuu…"

Rui activated Neo Godspeed at twenty percent while using Final Breathing at eighty percent, surging forward with much greater speed than before!

WHOOSH!

He evaded a powerful blow from the Gatekeeper, launching a powerful kick at the man's jaw. He threw every single technique into the Flowing Canon.

BAM!

It didn't so much as budge the man's head.

WHOOSH!

He somersaulted away, evading the man's extraordinarily swift and powerful blow. Suddenly, the Gatekeeper's body shifted, as his upper body dimmed while his legs brightened.

WHOOSH!

He appeared before Rui in the tiniest fraction of a millisecond, his legs dimmed as his upper body brightened. The most powerful and fastest blow of the battle was thrown at Rui.

WHOOSH!

Rui barely evaded the blow itself, yet the sheer shockwaves that emerged from it struck him point blank.

BOOOOOM!!!!!!!!!

"Rgh!" He grimaced

The destructive shockwave that emerged from the attack was so extreme that it battered Rui, engulfing him and everything beyond.

RUMBLE!!!

The very lands beneath them shook under the devastating power of the Gatekeeper!

That day, all of North Kandria experienced a small earthquake.
