"Oh no!"
The moment Killua saw Shadaso move, he understood what he intended to do.
Without a second thought, he pushed off, ready to rush over and help Lin Yan.
But Libedo's whips were faster.
"Your opponent is me, brat!"
Two long whips hissed through the air like venomous snakes come alive, closing off every route forward from either side.
Forced to stop, Killua instantly extended the claws on both hands and met the whips head-on.
Clang! Clang!
The sharp ring of metal clashing echoed through the corridor.
Libedo's whips were clearly products of a Nen Ability as well. They were so tough that even Killua's claws failed to sever them immediately.
Meanwhile, another whip kept Gon occupied.
Though he could dodge by instinct, the whip clung to him relentlessly, leaving him no chance to break away and help Lin Yan.
"Damn it! Get out of the way!" Gon shouted anxiously.
"Heh heh, too late!" Libedo laughed smugly.
He had done it!
He had bought Shadaso those crucial few seconds!
And for an expert like Shadaso, those few seconds were more than enough.
Shadaso had already rushed right up to Lin Yan.
His invisible Nen arm was less than ten centimeters from the dim golden bead.
His lone eye burned with greed and feverish excitement.
He could almost see himself obtaining this peerless treasure, crushing everyone on the 200th Floor, and even challenging a Floor Master.
Victory was within his grasp!
Yet just as he was about to succeed, he saw Lin Yan's expression.
The young man leaning against the wall, so weak he looked ready to breathe his last at any moment, showed not the slightest trace of panic or fear. Instead, the faintest cold smile curled his lips.
He was looking at a dead man.
"Huh?" Shadaso's heart
