With his super-fast speed and powerful Nen energy, Hisoka's flying kick was astonishingly potent.
Even if Ethan used 'Immovable as a Mountain' again, such an attack would cause severe damage.
"Danger!"
Ethan was acutely aware of Hisoka's attack. His instincts, honed through countless battles, immediately sensed the formidable threat.
The hairs on his body stood on end, and he activated [Mind's Eye Fist Listening] to compress his perception of time to the extreme.
"The Art of War: Unknowable as Darkness!"
His body swayed and suddenly became a blur. Ethan burst out at a speed much faster than before, fleeing the spot like a ghost.
Boom! ! !
There was almost no time to spare. As Ethan moved away, Hisoka's flying kick passed through the afterimage left by him and landed forcefully on the ground.
For a moment, the ground seemed to be bombarded by artillery shells, with a deafening roar and gravel flying everywhere, leaving a massive crater.
'Unknowable as Darkness' is a footwork and movement technique in [Army Killing Fist]. When executed, it is as fast as a ghost, making it difficult to track.
As the ground exploded, Ethan had already appeared dozens of meters away, immediately observing the massive crater.
"Such a terrifying attack with that power, even many Enhancer Nen users can't achieve it. Hisoka's mastery of Nen is indeed at a high level."
Hisoka's flying kick, in addition to relying on the contraction force of [Bungee Gum], also utilized 'Hard' in the application of Nen.
'Hard' is an advanced technique that combines the five techniques of "Ten," "Zetsu," "Ren," "Hatsu," and "Gyo." It concentrates and compresses Nen energy to a specific point.
The more Nen energy concentrated and the stronger the compression, the more powerful 'Hard' becomes.
It's important to note that Hisoka isn't an Enhancer. Techniques like 'Hard' can only exert 80% of an Enhancer's power.
Yet, the destructive power he displayed proves Hisoka's profound mastery of 'Hard.'
At least Ethan knew he wasn't as proficient as Hisoka in controlling 'Hard.'
Uh-huh!
The dust was still swirling when a figure quickly leapt from the crater and landed on its edge, facing Ethan.
This figure was, of course, Hisoka.
His arms, with flesh cracked and blood flowing, hung limply, and his body was bent awkwardly.
Most strikingly, there was no sign of panic or fear on his face due to the injuries. Instead, a twisted smile spread across his face as he gazed intensely at Ethan.
"This feeling is incredible. Let's continue fighting to our heart's content!!"
What started as a murmur turned into an excited scream. The twisted smile on Hisoka's face widened, and he suddenly burst forth with astonishing speed, rushing towards Ethan like a demon.
The injury on his arm not only failed to deter him but seemed to make him even more menacing.
"I'm not afraid of you!"
Ethan snorted inwardly, unaffected by Hisoka's ferocity. Instead, a wave of defiance surged within him, and his eyes gleamed with intensity.
"The Art of War: Swift as the Wind!"
They met almost in an instant, and as they did, Ethan launched a ferocious offensive without hesitation. His fists flew with the speed of the wind, aiming relentlessly at Hisoka.
Hisoka's body swayed like a reed in the wind, and his seemingly injured arms moved like flexible whips.
Using his unusually agile skills, Hisoka dodged most of Ethan's punches, intercepting or even counterattacking the remaining ones.
Fists and palms collided fiercely, each clash accompanied by visible shockwaves, cracking the ground and stirring up dust and debris.
In a short span, the two exchanged hundreds of blows, with Ethan unable to gain any clear advantage.
"In terms of physical strength, I'm lagging..."
Facing Hisoka head-on, Ethan's attack was intercepted, but his expression remained unchanged, understanding the situation clearly.
The battle wasn't just a confrontation of Nen but also a physical contest.
The relationship between Nen energy and the body is complementary, or one could say Nen acts as an amplifier.
With the same amount of Nen energy and within the same category, the stronger the body, the more power is generated when combined with Nen.
Moreover, the combination is not a simple additive relationship but multiplicative.
10 + 10 equals 20, but 10 × 10 equals 100!
Ethan was a good Enhancer, and even in manifesting energy, he was not inferior to Hisoka.
But in terms of physical fitness, even after using the [Dragon Elephant Body Tempering Pill] and the [Hundred Times Training Card], Hisoka was still much stronger.
But this was expected. Hisoka was akin to a perfect fighter with no obvious weaknesses in Nen or physicality.
Even as a Conjurer, he didn't neglect physical training.
And in Nen application, Hisoka surpassed Ethan.
By using 'Flow' to gather Nen in his hands, Hisoka's offensive and defensive power was enough to make Ethan's swift and fierce punches challenging to penetrate.
Hisoka's arms being injured by 'Swift as the Wind' earlier was merely a result of Ethan catching him off guard, preventing him from concentrating enough Nen on his arms.
Uh-huh!
After a fierce confrontation, Ethan suddenly vanished, and Hisoka seemed to disappear.
No, he didn't vanish; Hisoka suddenly burst out with super speed, moving to Ethan's side.
More precisely, Hisoka had silently used [Bungee Gum] during the fierce battle, extending it and sticking it to the ground beside Ethan, then using the contraction force to move rapidly.
"Not good!"
Ethan's expression shifted the moment Hisoka seemingly 'disappeared,' and he instantly activated [Mind's Eye Fist Listening].
