Hunter x Hunter: Card Master, the Strongest in the World

Of the last five, only the scarred man survived, and Kurapika wanted to find out the whole story.

"Speak, which faction do you belong to, and what brings you to the capital to cause trouble?"

Kurapika kicked the scarred man to the ground, then stepped on his chest, while his left-hand sword, Commandment, was pressed against his neck, his tone indifferent.

Judging from the conversation between the five people just now, they seem to be a temporary team that was not known to each other before. Therefore, there must be some common interest that brought them together.

Moreover, these individuals all possessed abnormal red spiritual energy, making them highly suspicious.

Sensing the murderous intent in Kurapika's tone, the scarred man's expression changed, and he pleaded, "Don't kill me, don't kill me."

"We are all clients of Lord Greed. We came to King Reges this time because Lord Greed said that something would happen here, and that we would have a chance to make a move."

“We clients have been blessed with the ability to become stronger by killing Nen users.”

Kurapika then understood why the five scarred men were so determined to kill them; it turned out they could become stronger by using the power of killing intent.

The scarred man was probably not lying, because when he answered, the feeling transmitted from the left-handed sword discipline was that he was telling the truth.

Leorio had a look of sudden realization on his face and punched his palm: "I knew it! I felt like I'd seen their Nen before."

Leorio thought of the Mirror Woman he had encountered during the Hunter Exam; that person's Nen was also the same blood red.

According to her, she was also a greedy person, and that greed, along with the others, was known as one of the "Seven Deadly Sins," a mysterious organization.

When asked who his companions were, the scarred man said he didn't know, only that there should be quite a few people who had come.

Upon hearing this, Kurapika frowned and looked up at the distant flames soaring into the sky. At this moment, the entire capital was in chaos.

This night was destined to be turbulent.

The events that occurred in the capital of Reges tonight were no accident, but rather part of a huge conspiracy!

First, there was the rampage of the mind-bending corpses, and then the appearance of the Seven Deadly Sins.

“Let’s go back and report to our master first,” Kurapika decided immediately.

The two took the scarred man back to the South Gate.

Standing beneath the high walls, looking in through the open palace gates.

Behind a spacious stone slab ground are nine steps, at which stands Lynn, like a guardian deity with his arms clasped in repose.

Although he was just one person, Lynn stood there with the confidence of commanding a thousand troops, unmoved.

Lynn wasn't surprised to see his two apprentices return with a prisoner, because they had just given him two B cards, one a pistol and the other food, which clearly didn't come from fighting zombies.

Since the [Employee Badge] requires "salary" based on the cards that are dropped, he knows that any card dropped by his two apprentices comes from them.

Normally, the cards appear directly in your mind, and if you don't ask clearly, you really won't know where they came from.

The employee badges are quite useful. In addition, the boss can sense the employees' status and approximate location.

Later, Lynn learned that Kurapika and Leorio had encountered five Nen users, who were clients of [Greed].

Unexpectedly, the Seven Deadly Sins were also involved in tonight's events.

However, it can be concluded that this incident was man-made, and it may not have been solely the work of the Seven Deadly Sins; perhaps the Kingdom of Ying Shi was also involved.

Oh, and there's also the Phantom Troupe, who's already arrived in the capital. They're not exactly peaceful either; they might have some ideas.

The capital is really lively tonight.

Lynn first informed Galo and the others of the information they already knew. Before he could say much more, he stretched out his right hand to block Leorio and the other two from behind, his gaze fixed on the doorway.

An uninvited guest has arrived.

Swish, swish, swish—

A dozen or so figures appeared, some at the gate and others atop the high wall. Judging from their attire, they belonged to the ninja style of Yingren Kingdom.

As expected, this incident was orchestrated by the Yingren Kingdom!

Lynn's gaze was indifferent as he swept over a dozen figures, most of whom were B-level, with a few A- or A-level.

He had just finished a phone call with Gail, and no enemies had appeared there yet, so his place should be the first to be attacked.

Did they think it would be easy to break through because there were only three people guarding the place?

The fact that Yingren Kingdom has gone to such lengths to cause so much trouble clearly indicates that this is no small matter; they may have mobilized their entire forces. It seems that these people are spies sent to test whether it will be easy for him to pass through.

On the stone floor inside the gate, a ninja knelt on one knee and spoke to the paper figure beside him, who was also in charge of this probing attack:

"My Lord, there are only three opponents. Our chances of winning are very high."

The deity was a genderless person with purple hair, wearing a black robe and mask, whose gender was indiscernible, and whose eyes were unusually cold.

He glanced at his subordinate with aloofness, then said in a clear voice, "Go, inform those two that Lynn is at the South Gate."

Before the words had even faded, his men immediately left the spot.

Just as the divine paper was about to speak, it saw Lynn begin to act.

"You're from Yingren Kingdom, aren't you?"

Lynn walked slowly up the steps, his voice steady.

In the stillness of the night, each step made a clear sound, as if it contained some indescribable power, each step pressing on the hearts of the ninjas, making their hearts beat faster.

"Sorry, this is not an easy place to attack."

Lynn gazed at the crowd not far away, his expression indifferent. His right hand had somehow landed on the hilt of Hyōrinmaru's sword. With a light touch of his thumb, he gently pushed the blade forward, causing it to slide out a bit.

In an instant, the pupils of many ninjas, including Shinji, shrank. In their sight, Lynn, who looked like an ordinary Nen user just a second ago, suddenly burst out with powerful Nen energy!

Its momentum soared to the sky!

An indescribable aura suddenly descended upon the field, like a heavy weight pressing down on their shoulders, making the ninjas feel uncomfortable.

In the darkness, Lynn completely transformed into a ball of light, radiating dazzling Nen energy. Then, Hyōrinmaru drew a huge ice-blue sword aura in mid-air and roared away!

boom!!

With a deafening roar, many weaker ninjas were instantly cleaved in two by the icy sword energy, turning into ice crystals and vanishing into nothingness. Only a few survived the attack.

Suddenly, several meters long knife marks appeared on the originally smooth and ornate stone slabs, causing the ground to tremble.

A no-go line was drawn across the ground, and smoke and dust mixed with gravel billowed out, carrying Lynn's steady and powerful voice.

"No passage allowed here."

Chapter 170 The Paper of God! The Satanic Clan is shocked!

South Gate of the Royal Palace

Dead silence.

boom!

The affected gate swayed precariously before finally collapsing, making a loud noise and kicking up dust as it hit the ground.

Amidst the smoke and dust, scraps of paper scattered about, revealing the figure of the divine paper. His usually indifferent face now showed a rare solemn expression.

If it weren't for the effects of his Nen ability, he would have been seriously injured, if not dead. Although he is not injured now, he has consumed a lot of his Nen energy.

At this moment, only three people remained around him, all of them with varying degrees of injury. This was only because they had been relatively far from the range of the sword energy, and thus were still alive.

The intelligence was seriously flawed!

The god cursed inwardly.

Exorcist Lynn is no ordinary strongman. The strength he displayed in the final battle of the Sky Arena was only the tip of the iceberg... He concealed his true strength!

Take that sword strike just now, for example. He was certain that very few people in the entire Yingren Kingdom could withstand it normally. Only a powerhouse of Lord Ibaraki's caliber would be qualified to fight it head-on.

In other words, Lynn is not only a world-class exorcist, but his own strength is also among the world's top!

No wonder the Reges royal family entrusted the southern border to Lynn to guard. He originally thought that someone was secretly lying in ambush inside, and Lynn was just bait.

Little did they know that Lynn herself was the real "trap".

Indeed, Lynn possesses such strength that he is capable of guarding the area single-handedly.

One of his men looked terrified, glanced at the knife mark on the ground not far away that still seemed to radiate residual power, and lowered his voice to ask, "Lord Divine Paper, what should we do next?"

"Lynn's strength far exceeded our expectations."

As the dust settled, the divine paper remained silent, gazing at Lynn, who still stood firmly on the steps, unmoved.

The group subconsciously ignored Leorio and Kurapika behind them; in their eyes, Lynn was like an insurmountable gatekeeper.

Their mission was to ascertain the defensive strength of the South Gate; returning like this would be difficult to explain to Lord Ibaraki.

The god frowned, and before he could make a decision, he saw his former subordinates arrive with two figures dressed in black robes.

It was Yoken and Theodore, members of the Satanic tribe!

They were not far from here, and as soon as they heard that Lynn was at the South Gate, they rushed over immediately, eager to put Lynn, this blasphemer, to death!

When they saw what was happening on the field, their expressions didn't change at all. The Satanic tribe often left corpses in their wake, so this little bit of destruction was nothing to them.

The commotion must have been caused by Lynn's fight with the people of Yingren Kingdom.

But the men who had left earlier were very surprised, because in the short time he had been gone, the once magnificent and smooth ground had become like this.

Not only that, there were originally thirteen companions, but now only four remain, including the God of Paper.

How long has it been, and nine people have died?

Seeing his subordinates arrive with Yoken and Theodore, the God of Paper's eyes gleamed, intending to use the power of the Satanic race to break through this obstacle!

The Satan race is notoriously powerful. For example, the current turmoil in the entire capital was caused by these two. As people who can wield the power of death, they are destined to be strong.

Their target was Lynn, and he assisted Yoken and the other two, so even if they couldn't defeat him, he could further investigate Lynn's abilities.

Meanwhile, reinforcements arrived on Lynn's side.

"Lynn! Are you alright here?" Kang Zai, dressed as a tiger, ran out from the back passage with several people.

They were one of the reserve squads in the palace, responsible for roaming and providing support on all sides. There was no movement on the other sides yet, but they heard a loud noise from the south, so they rushed over.

When Kang Jae saw the knife mark on the ground, he was stunned. Then he realized that the loud noise just now was caused by Lynn's sword!

Then, Kang Jae and the others also saw the spirit paper and others at the door.

There's no mistake! They're from Yingren Kingdom!

Tonight's turn of events was clearly the despicable act of the Yingren Kingdom.

Doorway.

The paper priest respectfully said, "My lords, Lynn is right there."

Yoken and Theodore saw Lynn, and Lynn saw them too.

It's ugly.

Theodore was alright, but Joken's face was like a withered tree, like a scholar whose life force had been drained. Besides that, there was something else that bothered Lynn.

Something's wrong with his breathing.

Upon first meeting them, Lynn sensed something was off about them. They gave him a dark feeling, as if deathly thoughts had materialized into human form, their bodies emanating an aura of deathly intent.

With a flicker of the shadow, the Gengar hiding inside suddenly became alert.

It smelled incredibly sweet and delicious!

“Finally found him, the blasphemer Lynn!” Johann approached step by step, a cold smile appearing on his ugly face.

"As a blasphemous villain, today we two will execute you to appease the wrath of the supreme god!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a strange and terrifying death intent erupted from both Yoken and Theodore. It was hard to imagine that so much death intent could emerge from one person, and that it could be controlled.

Are they using death wish?

Lynn became interested and examined them closely. Even though they were entangled in death thoughts, the two could still move normally and their aura was surging, showing an aura of about A level.

This was the first time he had ever seen people who could freely use Death Ninja. They used Death Ninja, something that ordinary people would avoid at all costs, just like Nen users use Nen.

The person we saw at the Sares ruins was just using the power of death.

Could it be that the deadly corpses in the capital are related to these two?
