The Martial Unity Chapter 2164 Resurfacing Memories

Rui's presence grew chilling as a dark glare fixated on her na.

Of all the nas that he possibly had run into, he did not expect to see Master Uma on the list.

A painful sensation erged within his body. Within his heart.

Suppressed mories of one of the worst periods of his life flooded back.

He hadn't forgotten her, but he had certainly subconsciously tried to.

Until relatively recently in his life, he was too weak to personally do anything about her. After all, she was a Martial Master.

However, seeing her na on the list of Martial Artists unearthed a forgotten oath.

The darkness in his eyes swirled as he recalled what he swore to himself.

"One day, I will kill her with my own two hands."

Nearly fifteen years had passed.

And today, he had finally amassed enough power to do justice to his own oath. He clenched his fist as his eyes narrowed.

Bloodlust flickered in their depths.

He didn't know what she was doing serving as an evaluator in the Panamic Martial Federation. However, the commission for the information blackout that he had gotten from the Beggar's Sect regarding his identity to her had long expired, and he was too busy with far too many things to pay any mind to seek information about her.

However, the very thought of that crazy religious fanatic serving as his combat threat evaluator was a sick joke that wasn't funny. There weren't many things that could inspire true rage from him.

This was one of them.

A single whisper escaped him.

"I should kill her." He hadn't forgotten the frustration that he felt at his own weakness when he escaped from her in fear while Master Deivon fought with all his might to protect Rui from her. If not for the fact that he had confird that Master Deivon was still alive in the Virodhabhasa Theocracy in isolated training under Sage Sariawar's oversight, he would be a lot more furious.

However, he knew that he needed to put an end to his grudge against her and the threat that she represented to him. She couldn't reveal her crazy delusions regarding his capabilities and shallow resemblance to the Antithesis due to Master Deivon threatening to reveal her own mutiny committed when Rui left the Virodhabhasa Theocracy after winning the Martial Contest. However, she still represented a threat to his freedom.

However, she still represented a threat to his freedom.

She needed to die.

There was no question of that.

However, what was a question that he needed to answer was whether he could do so at this point in ti, or not.

After all, unauthorized killing in the Panamic Martial Federation was a serious matter.

The worst punishnt was enslavent.

Despite being for, of, and by Martial Artists, he knew that the Panamic Martial Federation permitted the enslavent of Martial Artists that had proven to be a liability to the Panamic Martial Federation or had egregiously violated the rules. The best punishnt was permanent exile.

In other words, he could not kill her inside the Panamic Martial Federation without consequences.

Yet, when would he ever get the chance to kill her if not now?

Would he need to wait years and decades more to kill her?

However, was his vendetta against her truly worth incurring a harsh sentence from the Panamic Martial Federation?

Killing one of their officers, especially a Martial Master, was not sothing that could be forgiven lightly. Perhaps he wouldn't suffer lifelong enslavent since the Panamic Martial Federation was extrely reluctant to spoil its relationship with the Martial Union and the Emperor of Harmony due to its greed for mass Apprentice breakthroughs. However, it certainly wouldn't go unpunished.

Furthermore, it could screw with the mission that his father had entrusted him with.

It was one thing if he violated a more technical, albeit important, law, but it was an entirely separate matter altogether to murder an 'innocent' Master who had graciously made use of her ti to evaluate him.

While he was still confident that what he was offering was too juicy to Sage Kole for it to not be in her serious consideration, he would not be able to be certain that she would accept his offer if the context of their eting was sothing as severe as this.

"Damn!"

He closed his eyes as his expression crumpled with a hint of frustration.

The most rational thing to do was to kill her another day. The most logical option, when his powerful intellect processed all possible scenarios, was one where he simply pretended that he hadn't the faintest clue who she was.

Otherwise, he would end up incurring the consequences of acting on his bloodlust.

He considered killing her in secret with Greater Phantomind Void, a technique that used his mories of her. However, there was no way that he would be able to do that without adequate intelligence on her and all the security asures of the Panamic Martial Federation.

Even though he was a powerful Martial Artists with powerful, especially potent ntal techniques that could allow him to achieve extraordinary misdirection-driven stealth, he had no idea whether he could penetrate all the security asures of the Panamic Martial Federation.

This was especially the case when he didn't have the ti for extensive intelligence-gathering and planning for her assassination.

No matter how much he deployed his powerful thought, he was unable to co to a compromise that could allow him have his cake and eat it.

"…Damn!" He cursed. "I should have killed her as soon as I'd taken care of all of the important matters after returning ho from the Beast Domain."

He deeply regretted not having killed her soon after he broke through to Master Realm, even if he wasn't sure about whether he could beat her at the ti due to the fact that he was rely at the cusp of high-grade power while she was a full-fledged high-grade Master.

Master Deivon had needed to risk his life to stall her long enough for Rui to escape.
