Lucas took on the six men that attacked him, and although he wasn't quickly defeated, the presence of the two second level stellar practitioners made the battle more difficult than it should have been.
Since they were ordered to arrest Lucas, the agents couldn't use their guns and had resorted to hand-to-hand combat.
One of the four first level stellar practitioners was the quickest to arrive with range. He threw a punch at Lucas, expecting to force the latter into a retreat. However, Lucas could see that the very second he did so, he would be one step closer to defeat.
