Summary[]
Gabimaru tells Sagiri and Mei to go search for the elixir while he and Yuzuriha holds Ran off. However, Mei warns him that they are not in the Rentan Palace, shocking Gabimaru. He then dodges a surprise kick from Ran and briefly fights him. Ran reveals that he has restructured the palace before they arrived by controlling the inorganic Tao and controls the ground to restrain Mei. With no choice, Gabimaru decides to fight Ran but is unable to harm him due to not having the right attribute. Yuzuriha sees an opening to attack Ran and throws a Tao imbued kunai. However, the kunai bounces off of Ran's body due to cloaking himself in Tao armor. Gabimaru attacks Ran again but is quickly defeated. Gabimaru then tells Yuzuriha that it was time to begin their next strategy. Seeing as how nothing has changed in his Tao, Ran readies himself to fight Gabimaru, however, Gabimaru manages to land an effective blow to Ran and causes him to bleed, confirming that his strategy works.
