He appeared before Tianyi with the Body Flicker Technique, and Tianyi escaped with Flying Thunder God.
The Third Raikage stopped without pursuing him. He stood at the edge of the deep crater, arcs of his Lightning Release Armor flickering slowly around him as he watched Tianyi hundreds of meters away.
