Because of Drake's sudden acceleration after stepping forward in his Path, Jao had been caught off guard.
It was too late to guard up now, leaving his upper body wide open as he backpedaled.
Taking advantage of his opponent's minor mistake, Drake rashly struck his glowing right fist at Jao's face, dislocating his nose.
Blood violently spurted out of his nose as he attempted to anchor his hand on the ring's floor to avoid falling completely.
For the first time after completing his transformations, Jao felt a blinding pain on his now nearly flattened face after the sucker punch from a martial artist, which was in the middle of transcendence, connected to him.
Drake's battle senses sharpened once again, stomping as hard as he could on Jao's body on the floor.
