"Five-Colored Thread!"

As soon as it closed in, the Shadow Rider's right hand formed a claw, slashing out with a flurry of razor-sharp threads toward Reid.

Seeing that the Shadow Rider could use the same techniques as Feng Yu, Reid was stunned. He quickly leapt to the side to dodge.

Chi-chi-chi…

The sharp threads sliced into the earth where Reid had been standing, carving deep gouges into the ground with terrifying precision.

Without pausing, the Shadow Rider charged again. Lifting a leg, it executed the "Shaving Line Kick", aiming directly at Reid, giving him no time to breathe.

A fierce battle erupted between Reid and the Shadow Rider.

The same was happening on the other side with Nolan.

When he saw the Shadow Rider coming for him, Nolan didn't retreat. Instead, like a cheetah, he lunged forward. As he closed the distance, his eyes filled with killing intent, he slashed with his sword like a bolt of lightning.

"Spider Thread!"

The Shadow Rider's gaze sharpened. With a flick of the wrist, it fired a thread that anchored nearby. Using the elastic force of the spider thread, its entire trajectory shifted instantly.

The slash missed.

Not only did the Shadow Rider narrowly avoid Nolan's lightning-fast attack, it rebounded from the spider thread's tension and instantly formed a thick thread whip in its hand.

"Thread Whip Barrage!"

The whip lashed out in a blur, leaving dozens of afterimages. Each strike cut through the air with a hiss, aiming straight at Nolan.

Nolan spotted the attack just in time and dove aside.

CRACK!

The whip struck the ground, carving long, jagged trenches into the earth. Nolan's pupils shrank at the sight.

If that whip had landed on him, even with his Nen defense, it would've taken a heavy toll.

"Damn it! Just a clone has this much power?!"

Clenching his teeth, Nolan gritted through the shock and locked onto the Shadow Rider again.

Sword light clashed with thread whip.

After the brief exchange, the battle between Nolan and the Shadow Rider exploded into a vicious melee.

Feng Yu, meanwhile, was no longer focused on simply winning. After eliminating three enemies, his goal was now total annihilation.

He had released his Thread Armor, converting it into two Shadow Riders.

The reason was simple: contain Nolan and Reid, prevent them from interfering—so he could finish off Carter next.

"Water Dragon Dance!"

As the two Shadow Riders fought Nolan and Reid, Feng Yu closed in on Carter with incredible speed.

Seeing Feng Yu rushing toward him, Carter's face paled. He immediately retreated while summoning a massive surge of Nen.

BOOM!

A roaring ten-meter-long water dragon burst forth and surged toward Feng Yu, ready to crush him head-on.

"The art of war: Unknowable as shadow!"

Feng Yu's body blurred.

BOOM!!

The water dragon crashed down, swallowing Feng Yu and shaking the earth violently. The impact tore open a massive crater, which quickly filled with water, forming a shallow lake.

But Carter didn't feel victorious.

Just as the water dragon slammed into the ground, Feng Yu appeared behind him—like a ghost emerging from the shadows.

"So fast!"

Carter was horrified.

Even without his Thread Armor, Feng Yu's speed when using "Unknowable as Shadow" was terrifying.

"The art of war: Swift as the wind!"

With a thundering step, Feng Yu closed the gap like a predator pouncing down a mountain. His arms blurred from view as he struck with lightning-fast punches.

To Carter, all he could see were fist shadows filling his vision. He had no time to counter, only to retreat.

"Water Curtain Wall!"

Death loomed close. Carter poured all his strength into a desperate defense, unleashing waves of water that rose and layered in front of him like a solid, flexible shield.

BOOM BOOM BOOM!

Feng Yu's punches crashed against the wall like a hurricane. The water shield trembled violently, rippling from the force of the blows.

Even though the Water Curtain Wall was as strong as steel and more flexible than most defenses, it couldn't hold up under the barrage. The wall started to collapse inward.

It was only a matter of time before it shattered.

But Carter wasn't standing still. While the water shield bought him time, he retreated as fast as possible, trying to escape range.

"Thread Field!"

"Spiral Gun!"

While his fists hammered away, Feng Yu activated a backup trap.

Underfoot, thousands of silk threads burrowed into the ground and spread behind Carter—right into his path.

Suddenly—

A Spiral Gun burst from the ground, angled upward, striking Carter directly in the back.

BOOM!

"AAAGH!!"

The unexpected strike sent Carter flying forward, blood gushing from a massive, gaping wound in his back.

His Nen had barely softened the blow. The Spiral Gun had punched clean through.

He collapsed in a heap, blood spraying across the ground.

His Water Curtain Wall instantly shattered from the loss of focus.

Feng Yu rushed through the collapsing water like a storm, fists blazing, ready to finish it.
