The figure moved back and forth, and the 'line gun' adjusted its aim, firing again after striking the air.
In a short time, the open space on the coast resembled a hornet's nest, pockmarked with numerous holes.
Hisoka's reflexes and speed were indeed remarkable, preventing the 'line gun' from hitting him directly. However, Ethan's relentless 'line gun' attacks kept Hisoka too occupied to counterattack.
Moreover, during these continuous attacks, Ethan quietly set up additional strategies.
"Spider's Nest!"
Tsk tsk tsk! ! !
As Hisoka dodged within the compressed movement range of the 'line guns,' numerous threads shot up from the ground, quickly forming an enormous encasing spider web.
Once the giant web appeared, it shot upward, then closed like a tightened sack to form a ball, rapidly shrinking inward.
The space within the spider web shrank quickly, trapping Hisoka inside while reducing his range of motion.
Throughout this process, Hisoka couldn't help but react.
In fact, he attempted to escape when the 'Spider's Nest' deployed, but was thwarted by the simultaneous 'line gun' assault.
By the time the 'line guns' stopped and the 'Spider's Nest' began shrinking, Hisoka was trapped inside, on the verge of being wrapped up.
"I must break free!"
Hisoka's heart raced, and he rushed toward one direction. A playing card appeared in his right hand, which he infused with Nen, striking at the web where the opening was barely larger than his fist.
The situation was clear.
If Hisoka didn't want to become trapped, he had to break out before the 'Spider's Nest' fully enveloped him.
Shing!
The playing card, charged with powerful Nen, was indeed sharp. With a single blow, it sliced a long gash in the tough 'Spider's Nest.'
Hisoka used the cut to slip through the opening like a serpent, escaping the 'Spider's Nest' blockade.
But as he broke free, a figure appeared beside him with ghostly speed.
"The Art of War: Move Like Thunder!"
The figure was Ethan. He had attacked at top speed using "Unknowable as Darkness," raising his right fist. On his muscular arm, a spiral of intense Nen energy swirled.
There are six forms in the 'Killing Fist of the Art of War,' corresponding to the six elements—wind, forest, fire, mountain, darkness, and thunder—in the Art of War.
Among these forms, 'Unknowable as Darkness' and 'Immovable as Mountain' are movement and defensive techniques, while the other four are offensive.
Each form has unique attributes.
Some pursue the speed of the punch, like 'Swift as the Wind,' others balance offense and defense, like 'Swift as the Forest,' and some seek explosive power.
'Move Like Thunder' is a form that aims for ultimate attack power.
The spiral Nen energy on the fist arm spun at high speed, creating friction with the air and producing thunderous sparks.
This punch was earth-shattering, turning Ethan's fist into a drill, capable of penetrating and tearing through Hisoka's entire body.
Danger! ! !
Hisoka's extraordinary instincts and keen reactions immediately sensed Ethan's attack and the immense danger of 'Move Like Thunder.'
"Aaah!!!"
A strange scream escaped his throat. With incredible speed and reflexes, Hisoka twisted his body mid-air and raised his left knee to block Ethan's punch.
Nen flowed freely, gathering on his knee. As it accumulated, Ethan's fist struck.
Boom! ! !
The surrounding air exploded with force, creating a roaring shockwave.
Blood, flesh, and bone fragments from Hisoka's left knee scattered as it shattered under Ethan's powerful blow.
Pain surged through him, but Hisoka endured the agony of his broken leg. At the cost of his left leg, he used a brief reprieve to shoot a [Bungee Gum] from his hand, pulling himself away from the ground to safety.
Ethan's fist, having destroyed the knee, continued its trajectory, but Hisoka had already escaped the attack range, dodging a potentially fatal blow.
"If that wasn't enough, let's try another strike!"
The follow-up attack missed, and Ethan's eyes locked onto Hisoka, who had landed nearby, his gaze steely.
Whoosh! !
A bolt of white lightning appeared from the forest far from the coast, flashing over the trees and striking Hisoka with astonishing speed.
Normally, even with this 'white lightning' appearing suddenly and moving swiftly, Hisoka's reflexes and skills would suffice to evade.
But circumstances were different now.
The broken leg and rushed evasion hampered his movements.
Despite detecting the distant attack with his acute reflexes, Hisoka barely managed to shift away, unable to fully escape the attack's range.
Shing!
Tsk tsk tsk! ! !
A terrible tearing sound echoed as an arm spun through the air, blood spraying. The 'white lightning' struck Hisoka's right shoulder, severing his right arm at the root.
Even after cutting off Hisoka's arm, the 'white lightning' continued. Like a whip, it struck the coastal ground, extending all the way to the sea.
Dust rose, and seawater poured in...
A deep fissure appeared from the coast to the sea, nearly a hundred meters long.
The 'White Lightning' dissipated after the strike. Following the direction it came from, one would find a tall figure standing on a hill several kilometers away from the coast.
Importantly, this figure was another 'Ethan.'
