Xu Shu's powers made his fighting style a vicious one, even if his own temperament was exactly the opposite. He had long since lost the ability to feel any guilt for harming the U-Men - they were the one who had come to invade them, and thus must be repaid in kind.

He doesn't have the attention to spare to see how Rinka was doing, but the yelp of pain from the mage tells him all he needs to know. There is blood on his blade as well as his overcoat, and a shower of it had coated the grass as well. However, the U-Man is still standing despite the flurry of slices that had effectively torn his back open, and is currently flailing about in an attempt to smack Xu Shu out of the air. His hands do in fact catch on to Windtail's chain, and a sharp tug manages to throw its wielder completely off course.

The youth lands roughly onto the ground, rolling a little to absorb the impact. And then his sword is abruptly yanked out of his hand.

Shit.

He dives forward, teleporting a short distance to avoid the U-Man's fist and backflipping through the air so that he could get to his sword. It definitely isn't damaged, but their opponent now has the grapple firmly in his grip. Getting it out won't be easy.
