In his heart, he refused to admit defeat. He hadn't even counterattacked. If he truly fought back, this so-called expert would surely fall.
After all, he was a one-star Exalt.
"You're nothing but a firefly," Liu Tao declared arrogantly. "And I am the bright moon. How can a firefly compete with the moon?"
With that, he struck.
"No-Phase Azure Lotus Claw!"
A red glow erupted from his five fingers as fierce wind surged forward, his attack sharp and vicious.
Ryan didn't even bother to step back.
He stood where he was, sneered faintly, and lifted one hand. No martial art. No aura explosion. Just a casual wave.
In the next instant, Liu Tao's claw was brushed aside, his own momentum betraying him. His body flew backward uncontrollably.
"Ah!"
He crashed to the ground, rolled twice, and spat out a mouthful of blood.
Ryan had already withdrawn his hand.
