The pent-up rage surged to the surface, the death of Tie Liao, the murder of the messenger Bo Tong, and the loss of manpower by the Dawn Society —all the grudges converged at this moment.

Nubia didn't dodge at all. His Enhancement surged wildly around him, his long black coat was blown backward by the air currents, his muscles bulged wildly, and his fists were covered with a thick layer of milky white Nen.

"Kid! You're the one I've been looking for!"

He roared and, instead of retreating, charged forward to meet Jiang Ye.

The Divine Dog: Totality its fangs and pounced first, its sharp claws, imbued with Nen, slashing fiercely at Nubia's head.

"Get out of here!"

Nubia roared and unleashed a powerful punch!

BOOM!!!

A deafening collision!

The two thoughts collided violently, creating a visible shockwave that sent debris and dust flying in all directions.

The massive body of the Divine Dog: Totality was actually slammed backward several steps by this punch, the fur on its shoulders torn by the force of the punch, and dark Shikigami blood seeped out.

As expected of a Enhancement-type Nen user who once served in the Elders' Guard, his physical strength is terrifying.

Taking advantage of the moment when Divine Dog: Totality was repelled, Nubia did not stop and instantly rushed to Jiang Ye's side. His fist, covered with heavy Nen, was filled with immense force and struck Jiang Ye's chest!

If this punch landed, even an ordinary Nen user would have their bones shattered and die on the spot.

Jiang Ye's expression was cold and stern. He had already prepared a plan. With a flick of his feet, his shadow rolled out and his body melted into the darkness.

Shadow Stealth activated instantly, the main body disappeared from the spot, and the fist slammed hard into a piece of abandoned steel plate behind him, scraping through the air.

Clang!!

A half-inch thick steel plate was deeply dented and twisted by a single punch!

Nubia's expression grew even more ferocious after his attack missed.

"You just hide in the shadows?!"

"There's no need to hide from you when dealing with someone like me."

Jiang Ye's voice came from the shadows to the side. The next instant, he stepped out from another shadow and swung his hand downwards.

Shadows surged on the ground, and several sharp, black Shadow Spike burst forth from the earth, simultaneously piercing Nubia's vital points from multiple angles.

The Shadow Spike Strike repeatedly pierced Nubia's thick layer of psychic armor.

Ding ding ding ding!!

A series of ear-piercing metallic clangs rang out as the Shadow Spike repeatedly struck and shattered, finding it difficult to penetrate the defensive shell constructed by the Enhancement.

Nubia's Enhancement Nen defense is simply too powerful.

"These petty tricks are useless against me!"

Nubia burst into wild laughter and charged forward again, unleashing a barrage of punches that sent gusts of wind through the air. Each strike created a shallow crater in the ground.

Jiang Ye used his shadow to dodge and weave, employing all the dodging, deflection, and close-combat techniques he had learned from the Zoldyck Family training system.

After a period of hellish physical tempering, his physical strength is now vastly different from what it used to be; he is no longer the fragile body of a refugee.

Even so, simply taking Nubia's punch head-on with one's bare hands is still tantamount to suicide.

The Divine Dog: Totality regrouped and pounced again, clinging tightly to Nubia. Its sharp claws and fangs constantly harassed and restrained Nubia, forcing her to divert her attention from the Shikigami's attacks.

With one man and one dog working together, they engaged in a fierce battle with Nubia in the center of the smoke-filled battlefield.

The shockwaves from the collision of fists spread outwards in concentric circles, sending surrounding rubble and scrap metal flying everywhere.

On the other side of the sky, Nue had already clashed with Grey Elder's forces.

The Nue's wings danced wildly like thunder, constantly swooping down to bombard the Grey Elder's formation.

The elder guard, an armored Nen user, stepped forward, drew a long sword wreathed in Nen energy, and leaped into the air to meet Nue's attack.

The blade light and purple lightning collided and exploded repeatedly.

Grey Elder himself retreated to the gunners' protective circle, watching with a gloomy expression as Jiang Ye and Nubia fought to the death in the center of the battlefield.

His gunmen continued to pour bullets at the Rust Remains Alliance positions while also diverting some firepower to keep the Nue occupied.

At both ends of the battlefield, two high-intensity battles broke out simultaneously.

At the front lines, Iron Wall, Shattered Eye, and Bago received orders from Gray Beak to cease their desperate fighting and instead retreat while fighting, gradually shrinking their defensive lines and holding their ground behind the shield walls to minimize casualties.

The three flag bearers wanted to give chase, but were fiercely entangled by the three Iron Wall warriors, making it difficult for them to break free and go to support Nubia.

The battlefield was filled with smoke, gunshots, clashing weapons, roars of Shikigami, and screams and wails of people mingled together, turning this wasteland of District 13 into a brutal carnage.

In the center of the battlefield, Jiang Ye and Nubia's fierce battle continues.

After a prolonged battle, Jiang Ye's internal energy was rapidly depleted. The frequent use of Shadow Stealth, summoning Shadow Spike, and maintaining the appearance of the two Shikigami, Divine Dog: Totality and Nue, placed an enormous burden on him, constantly squeezing out every last bit of his potential.

A large amount of cold sweat seeped from his forehead, and his breathing gradually became heavy.

In contrast, Nubia, as a user of enhanced Nen abilities, only grew stronger and more powerful in battle. Despite having several wounds torn by the Jade Dog, his aura showed no signs of weakening.

"Kid, you're almost out of energy!!"

Nubia noticed the change in Jiang Ye's breathing rhythm and a cruel smile appeared on his face.

"Your Nen Beast won't last much longer either!"

"Today, I will crush you here and wash away all the humiliation of the Dawn Society!!"

Before he finished speaking, Nubia unleashed his full Nen energy without reservation, the milky-white Nen energy burning fiercely like white flames.

He ignored the Divine Dog: Totality Divine Dog: Totality bothering him, and withstood a claw attack that tore at his arm. Taking advantage of the injury, he abandoned his defense and rushed towards Jiang Ye at full speed.

This is a ruthless, desperate fighting style of the Enhancement, trading injury for a kill!

Nubia's arm was ripped open by sharp claws, leaving a deep, bone-revealing wound from which blood gushed out. Yet, Nubia seemed oblivious to the pain, his eyes fixed solely on the thought of killing Jiang Ye.

The distance closed rapidly, and a deadly punch carrying all its power slammed down towards Jiang Ye's head!

A close call!

Divine Dog: Totality wanted to rush back to help, but it was too late; they were just half a step too short!

Jiang Ye's pupils suddenly contracted; there was no way to avoid it!

In that life-or-death moment, Jiang Ye did not choose to simply rely on his shadow to dodge. He pushed the Entangling Circulation to its limit, channeling all his spiritual energy into his arms, which he crossed and held horizontally in front of his face!

BOOM!!

A devastating punch slammed down on the crossed arms!

The immense force crashed down like a charging beast!

Jiang Ye flew backward like a kite with a broken string, crashing heavily onto the gravel ground dozens of meters away, leaving a long ditch in the soil.

"Puff!!"

A mouthful of scalding blood gushed violently from Jiang Ye's mouth, and a piercing pain shot through his arm, his bones throbbing with agony.

Despite undergoing rigorous physical training under the Zoldyck Family system, he was still severely injured by this attack.

"Alliance Leader!!"

Behind the fortifications, Gray Beak witnessed this scene, his heart leaped into his throat, and he screamed incoherently.

The Divine Dog: Totality let out a mournful and furious howl, and pounced on Nubia without hesitation, tearing and biting wildly.

Nubia was struck by the Divine Dog: Totality's claw, his arm bleeding profusely, but he didn't care at all. He shook off the entanglement and strode towards Jiang Ye, who had fallen to the ground, his face full of the cruelty of a victor.

"It's over, kid."
