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

Lynn remained expressionless, but a series of thoughts flashed through his mind.

The base has most likely been attacked. He currently knows nothing about the enemy—their numbers, strength, distribution, etc.—so he needs to be even more cautious in his actions.

He first recalled Capone and Chopper and Gengar who were outside, ensuring his own safety was the top priority, and then used the [Snake Charm] to enter stealth mode and go out to investigate the situation.

He chose to head towards the dojo, rather than where Amy was. If they were attacked, Amy would be the enemy's target, so that would be the most dangerous place.

The dojo is relatively safe, and there is a chance of encountering Bisji and others. If they can meet up successfully, the safety will be improved.

Soon after, Lynn heard a very loud noise nearby. He got up and went to investigate, only to find people fighting in a hall. Among them, the weaker party was none other than his acquaintances, Lei Guang and Man Niu.

Peng!

Lightning was blasted away by a surging torrent of water, leaving a long, straight trail on the ground.

Then his head lolled to the side and he fainted.

Because of their different abilities, the bulls are tough and resilient, so they held out for a while longer, but it was clear that they were struggling.

The next moment, the air flashed with the light of blades.

The bull gritted its teeth, its eyes bloodshot, and crossed its thick, hairy arms in front of it, attempting to block the powerful attack.

However, his opponent was clearly stronger than him. In just an instant, his arms and torso were covered with countless knife marks, as if he had been slowly tortured to death. A moment later, blood gushed out like arrows.

The bull let out a muffled groan, a trickle of blood spilling from the corner of its mouth, but it remained standing firm, like a rock that stood tall against the raging storm waves.

"Not bad willpower, but how many of my blows can you withstand?" Inugami was dressed in a long robe, stroking his bushy beard with his left hand, while holding an extremely sharp samurai sword in his right.

He appeared expressionless, but his eyes held an intense arrogance.

With his strength, Bull could easily take down several of them. The only reason he's been able to hold on until now is because he's thick-skinned.

"Can you hurry up? If you're not going, then I'm going." The person next to Inugami, dressed in uniform and wearing a black veil, couldn't help but speak up.

His attire clearly indicates that he is a ninja, and it was he who used Water Release ninjutsu to knock out Lightning.

"Talking to me like that... Mizunashi, do you want to die?" Inugami turned and pointed the tip of his sword at the ninja named "Mizunashi," his eyes narrowing, his aura menacing.

"You think I'm afraid of you? You dog of a hundred demons!" Mizunashi gripped his kunai in the back of his hand, ready to strike.

Suddenly, the atmosphere on the field became subtle.

Despite belonging to the same Yingren Kingdom and participating in this mission together, the relationship between the [Hyakki] and [Ninja] is actually quite bad, with each wanting to outdo the other.

Inugami is a second-tier demon among the "Hyakki" (Hundred Demons), while Mizunashi is a Jonin (High Ninja) among the "Ninja," of the same rank as Inugami, and their strength is roughly the same.

Therefore, neither of them was willing to admit that they were inferior to the other.

This is no longer just a matter of personal dignity; it has risen to the level of the organization's reputation.

The enemy is fighting amongst themselves? The bull blinked, then took a few steps back, intending to secretly take Lightning with him and escape.

But with such a large physique, how could the enemy possibly miss him?

Mizunashi enveloped his kunai in Nen and prepared to hurl it at the bull, an attack that could take its life instantly!

However, a sudden fluctuation of spiritual energy came from his side, and a strange light appeared.

His pupils contracted, and the quick reflexes honed by years of ninja training prompted him to instinctively dodge to the side.

Suddenly, Chopper appeared in his Jujutsu form, punched but missed, and landed on the ground, instantly creating a shocking crack and a crater. Thick smoke and dust, along with scattered rocks, shot into the sky.

It's Chopper! The bull was stunned for a moment, then his face lit up with wild joy.

He knew perfectly well how strong Chopper was!

And since Chopper is here, Lynn must be nearby too.

Are there enemies?

Suddenly it appeared... Is this a Nen Beast?

But where are the Nen users?

Inugami suddenly became alert, his triangular eyes scanning his surroundings intently, his right hand gripping the hilt of his sword tightly, ready to unleash a rapid barrage of sword strikes at any moment... The "Inugami-ryu swordsmanship" he used focused on fast swordsmanship, capable of unleashing thirty-six strikes per second, leaving his enemies covered in wounds before they could even react.

Suddenly, the dog god looked up in astonishment.

Suddenly, an unfamiliar Nen user appeared above him and fell like a meteor.

How can this be?

Why did he suddenly appear above?

Teleport?

The dog was puzzled, but instinctively raised the blade to block above its head. Since there was no time to dodge, it had no choice but to take the hit head-on!

Peng!

Lynn's fist landed on the katana, and the tremendous force of the impact instantly traveled along the blade to Inugami's arms, causing them to bend uncontrollably.

That force!

Inugami's pupils contracted; just from this power alone, he could tell that this was a formidable enemy!

Wait, this person looks familiar...

Isn't that the exorcist? Are exorcists that powerful?

Chapter 106 Illumi's Sneak Attack! Safety is the most important thing!

"Damn it!" Inugami roared, unleashing a massive amount of Nen energy. The Nen energy continuously gathered on his sword and arms, intending to forcefully push the enemy away.

But the enemy seemed to have a premonition, twisting his body and landing first, then using his left hand to deflect his katana and thrusting his right fist straight in.

As the fist, enveloped in a blinding ball of light, was about to strike his chest, Inugami's eyelids twitched wildly, and his heart raced.

What about Mizunashi?

Out of the corner of his eye, Inugami saw that Mizunashi was currently engaged in a fierce battle with the Nen beast that had appeared out of nowhere. Helpless, he disregarded the consumption of Nen energy and wrapped a considerable amount of Nen energy around his left fist to counterattack.

boom!

Visible to the naked eye, an astonishing shockwave formed at the point where the two fists met, blowing outwards in all directions.

Using the recoil force, both sides were pushed back a distance, creating some distance between them.

Their strength and reflexes are both good... A glint flashed in Lynn's eyes. He estimated that these two "dog gods" and "Mizuna" were both A-level.

Just from their names and appearances, he could tell that the two were clearly from the [Hyakki] and [Ninja] organizations of Yingren Kingdom.

The whole story is now obvious.

Gail's earlier warning came true. Yingren Kingdom discovered the underground base where Amy was located and sent many powerful people to eliminate future troubles. These two were probably just among them.

In just that short time, he had already heard noises coming from other parts of the base, and even heard several astonishing auras spreading out...

Hopefully, Bissie and the Reges royal family have enough backup plans to handle the situation, otherwise he might have to run away.

Of all things under heaven, safety is paramount.

While Lynn and Inugami were locked in a standoff, Chopper's side was also fighting fiercely, maintaining a considerable distance from the former.

Chopper flashed forward and quickly approached the ninja Mizunashi.

Shui Wu narrowed his eyes slightly, made a gesture, and then his Nen surged. Centered on his body, a large amount of water vapor appeared, and the next moment his figure disappeared from the spot.

Gone?

Chopper stopped and stared intently at the surrounding activity.

The rising water vapor created a foggy environment with reduced visibility, but it should still be able to see clearly even at this level, so it shouldn't be unable to see people. It is probably due to its ability to hide in this kind of environment.

If the enemy doesn't move, I won't move either.

Chopper understood this principle well, so he quietly waited for the enemy to jump out on his own.

A few breaths later, the water vapor at its eight o'clock position fluctuated slightly, and then the figure of Mizuki suddenly appeared, with a stream of water gathering in front of him that looked like a dragon's head, and it blasted towards Chopper.

"Finally out!" Chopper's eyes flashed with excitement. Instead of dodging, he charged straight into the water, enduring the powerful attack head-on.

"Madman!" Mizunashi cursed, quickly entering stealth mode, but she was still a step too slow, and Chopper seized the opportunity.

"You were having a lot of fun hiding just now!" Chopper said angrily, sending Mizuna flying with a spinning kick.

Mizuki crashed heavily to the ground, feeling a sharp pain in his chest. He was a high-attack, low-defense type of player, usually relying on surprise attacks, and Chopper's kick had indeed caused him considerable damage.

Chopper pressed his advantage and gradually gained the upper hand.

Lynn and Inugami then began a new round of confrontation.

"Don't underestimate me, you mere exorcist!" Inugami's gaze was icy, his eyes like an invisible knife, as if he wanted to tear Lynn to pieces.

To be able to fight a mind-removing master to such a state is a great disgrace to him.

The moment Inugami stepped onto the ground, he appeared in front of Lynn almost instantly, unleashing a flurry of fast and powerful slashes with his katana.

This time he's serious, there's no way he can escape!

However, Inugami was once again proven wrong. Despite Lynn's close-range and rapid attacks, the latter always managed to dodge them precisely, leaving Inugami astonished as if he were witnessing something unbelievable.

In contrast, Lynn got into the zone, dodging and looking for opportunities to counterattack while honing his Observation Haki by using Inugami's attacks.

Undeniably, Inugami is quite skilled; such a person would definitely be quite famous in the outside world.

With A- level strength, becoming a high-level player in the Sky Arena wouldn't be a problem.

But unfortunately, it still fell short.

Inugami is an explosive type of attacker, capable of unleashing multiple slashes in a very short time, but since it is explosive, there will be times when it slows down.

A few breaths later, Lynn seized the dog god's brief pause, a flash of red light in his eyes, and taking advantage of the close distance, a large amount of cold air suddenly burst forth from his body!

In an instant, the dog god's movements became even slower, and at the same time, incredibly hard ice thorns spread out from under his feet, tightly binding his legs and making it difficult for him to dodge.

Immediately afterwards, Lynn's lips curled slightly, and he threw out a powerful right punch.

He simultaneously stacked Armament Haki and Iron Body Shattering in this punch. Although it consumed a lot of stamina, it was well worth it!

Yes... kill two birds with one stone!

In an instant, several Nen nails shot out from the large ventilation opening in the ceiling, their target being Lynn in front of Inugami!

Lynn turned his body to the side, as if he had expected it, withdrew his fist, and kicked the dog god away. At the same time, he bent his body in an amazing way to dodge the fierce Nen nail. The powerful Nen nail went straight into the ground.

As the nimble nails were fired, Illumi quickly jumped down from the ventilation shaft, just as Lynn had successfully dodged them.

Illumi was not surprised. During his earlier observation in the shadows, he had already discovered that Lynn, the exorcist, was not as simple as the intelligence indicated.

His ability to anticipate attacks is particularly troublesome.

Therefore, Lynn's successful evasion of the Nail was also part of his calculations. At that time, he only needed to make a quick move to catch the enemy off guard.

Ilmi paused abruptly, his pupils contracting involuntarily.

Something is wrong!

Something is definitely wrong!

His long-cultivated assassin skills had given him an astonishing intuition. Although he hadn't discovered the root of the problem, his intuition told him that he had to dodge quickly.

But we were still a step too late.

Peng!

The next moment, something invisible to him seemed to throw a punch and land hard on his cheek.

Although he managed to use his inner energy to defend his vital points, it was done in a hurry, so he was unable to completely defend himself.

Illumi's face was contorted for a moment after being hit, then his body flew backward, tumbling several times in the air before he regained his footing. His cold, slightly swollen face revealed a thoughtful expression as he quickly analyzed the situation.

The combat units on the field included not only the Nen Master and the Nen Beast, but also another entity that was currently invisible, and it was unclear whether it was a Nen Beast or a Nen user.

He overlooked the existence of this "person," so his sneak attack failed, and he was instead successfully ambushed.

Soon, Illumi noticed something amiss: why was there such a person on the field instead of helping his teammates?

Did they already know someone was lying in ambush, so they turned the tables on them?

On the other side, Lynn had already turned around, looking at Illumi not far away, her eyes slightly narrowed... It really was you~
