Azhar casted [Bowman's Stand] to have even just a chance at harming Old Thane before he darted around, his eagle tattoos granting him speed. With his naturally quick build and trained movements, he darted around Old Thane with a speed that would have left an ordinary men unable to even track him.
Old Thane stood still; his fists relaxed at his side. After all, he had no pressure to do anything. If Azhar did not attack, then he would just tire himself out with these movements.
Sure enough, Azhar did attack, striking from the old man's back, right where his blindspot was.
Old Thane swiveled around at the last second and grabbed Azhar's fist in his hand. The action was simple, but Li recognized the significance of it. With his eagle tattoos boosting his already formidable agility, Azhar moved at nearly the pinnacle of human speed to the point where Launcelot, a trained fighter of merit, could not at all react, winning only through prediction.
