Chapter 2794 Painful Attacks

Chapter 2794 Painful Attacks

A devastatingly powerful wave of destruction emerged from Sage Sekiei, surging towards Rui with the full intention of eviscerating every last trace of his existence.

That was exactly what Sage Sekiei expected to see.

Against his most powerful Sage-level offensive technique, he didn't expect to see anything else.

He didn't want to see anything else.

And that was exactly why Rui's hypnosis worked so well against him. SPLAT SPLAT SPLAT SPLAT SPLAT!!!!

Sage Sekiei's expression lit up with delight as, in his eyes, Rui's body disintegrated upon the destructive force of his attack, splattering into the air as a flood of blood and gore.

For a moment, he was relieved.

And then, reality struck him like a train.

WHOOSH

The image faded away as Rui emerged before him, entirely unharmed shocking the Martial Sage frozen.

Delight turned to frustration.

Happiness turned to anger.

Sage Sekiei had never even imagined that it was possible for Rui to hypnotize him. The fact that a Martial Master had managed to pull it off was something that truly shocked him. Rui, on the other hand, had only made use of his bloodlust against the man.

Hypnosis was most effective when the illusion was what the target wanted to see or expected to see. It experienced far less resistance and impedance from the target in this condition.

Sage Sekiei's desire to end the battle with a domineering victory as soon as possible was palpable.

And yet, he hadn't been able to maintain his calm and his rationality. From the very moment Rui, a mere Martial Master, had been his opponent, he hadn't been able to maintain his composure.

The longer the battle continued, the more it physically hurt him.

That was why he continued hacking away at Rui as much as possible with a ferocious bloodlust in an attempt to end his life then and that. Unfortunately, he failed.

WHOOSH!!

A lateral pirouette allowed Rui to avoid being cleaved across his body. He landed on all fours, wasting absolutely no time to lunge at his opponent with a fiercely aggressive charge.

And yet, it only angered Sage Sekiei even more.

"Rgh!!!" He smoothly swung an earth-shattering blow of extraordinary magnitude at Rui, yet he simply kicked off the blade with a stunning level of precision, leveraging Sage Sekiei's attack to fuel his own momentum.

And thus, he landed his first blow of the entire battle.

BOOOOOOMMM!!!!!

With the power of a partial Soul Retcon, he managed to land a thundering blow that far exceeded what almost any Martial Master could have possibly unleashed.

What was even more shocking was the extraordinarily excruciating pain that surged through Sage Sekiei's body.

"AAARRRGGHHHH!!!" the Martial Sage's body shuddered as he felt more pain than he had in recent times.

It was in moments like these where Phantom Pain shined the brightest: Against opponents who were far beyond his ability to effectively harm.

Sage Sekiei's retaliatory attack converged upon him, interrupting his second attack.

WHOOSH

Rui leaped, narrowly evading the heavenly discharges along the plane of the attack.
