Hunter: I became stronger even after I died.

Chapter 388 The Possibility of Victory

Using the information gap to lure out Netero's attack, and then using the predictive "flash teleport" to dodge the Hundred Style Guanyin's attack.

The integration and utilization of intelligence information, Niterói's response and actions.

All of this was calculated in advance.

However, the excellent offensive opportunities created by this strategy are...

"Was it completely blocked by 'flow'... No, judging from the feel of the energies colliding, it should have had some effect, but not enough to establish an advantage."

After blasting Netero away with a close-range air blast, Moro's expression suddenly turned serious.

To counter the terrifying attack speed of the Hundred-Style Guanyin, he has exhausted all the plans he can devise at this stage.

However, after succeeding, they did not achieve the expected results.

This is because Netero's Hundred Styles of Kannon has no so-called closing interval.

Or,

When Netero launched his attack, he was able to use his superior "flow" technique to build a defense at the last moment with his extraordinary reaction and speed.

In terms of technique, it must have been superb.

"Is this the level of 'the strongest in the world'...?"

Moro maintained the position of extending his arm forward, and once again gathered highly compressed Nen in his palm.

For a long time, influenced by preconceived notions, I have subconsciously regarded Netero's "Hundred Style Guanyin" as the most unsolvable direct offensive ability.

Therefore, the understanding of Netero's strength was anchored on this Hundred Styles of Kannon.

In fact, Netero's power extends far beyond the Hundred Styles of Kannon.

There are also the top-notch chanting techniques honed through countless trials, whose brilliance has been completely overshadowed by the Hundred Forms of Guanyin.

Netero's body slid slowly down the smooth wall of the dimensional room.

As Nobu said, this dimensional space, which exists outside of reality, is almost impossible to destroy under the constraints of Nen abilities and the effect of the oath system; even transformation is extremely difficult.

Even attacks using telekinesis cannot stir up smoke or dust here.

But precisely because the wall was so hard, when Netero was blasted by the psychic wave and crashed into it, he experienced an even more intense impact.

"Wow, I really didn't expect that..."

Netero paid no attention to the blood seeping from the corner of his mouth, and slightly raised his eyes to look at Moro, who was gathering his strength for the next attack.

At the last moment, he did manage to build a defense using "flow," but he couldn't completely block the attack.

Because Morrow's offensive strategy was indeed beyond his expectations.

The reason I was able to react in such a critical moment was mainly due to my body's almost instinctive fighting instincts.

That's a skill honed through countless real battles.

Thanks to the continuous battles during this period, he gradually regained his physical condition.

Otherwise, there might not be enough time to react.

"Flying Star - Split Bow"

Regardless of Netero's thoughts, Moro suddenly transformed the ball of energy he had gathered in his palm into a rain of light arrows, which covered Netero.

In order to reduce the threat of the Hundred Style Kannon, he could only make use of the advantages of the emission type and launch a continuous barrage of Nen bullets.

The stream of light arrows was as dense as a swarm of bees in this dimensional room with its limited height.

The impact of terrain conditions is unavoidable.

But for Niterlo, there is no need to avoid it.

"Hundred Styles of Guanyin - Lu Zhang"

A sharp golden light suddenly shone from Netero's side, revealing a bamboo-like arm that thrust forward like a spear, propelling his broad palm forward as if to crush all obstacles in his path.

This is the forward push of the palm in the Hundred Forms of Guanyin.

The rain of light arrows hurtling towards Nitro shattered like tiny mosquitoes the moment they touched the giant golden hand.

However, the length of Guanyin's palm is ultimately limited.

Although it could easily destroy this highly skilled emission attack, it could not reach Moro, who was further away.

This is also a result of Moro deliberately keeping his distance.

However, it was impossible to see the speed of the Hundred Style Guanyin's palm strikes, or even the trajectory between the strike and the recovery.

Therefore, it is difficult to accurately determine its specific attack range.

Perhaps if Netero keeps attacking, he can gradually record more specific data based on his combat awareness.

But can they hold on until that moment?

Moro didn't know.

At least in the current confrontation, he still has the advantage of long reach due to his release ability.

That is, the simultaneous use of "Flying Star - Split Bow" and "Flying Star Leap".

With his current skill level, he can maintain the power of his ranged attacks while using both his hands and feet.

"Flying Star Leap"

A cross-shaped star suddenly appeared on the wall behind Netero, and a shooting star shot out from the star.

however,
Nitero always had his back to the wall, yet he seemed to be able to sense the slightest movement of the wind and grass around him.

As the flying star struck his back, he leaped forward, letting it fly past him, while simultaneously closing the distance between himself and Moro.

Once the distance closes, he can use his Hundred Forms of Guanyin to pin Moro against the wall, leaving him helplessly waiting for his defeat.

"..."

Moro's pupils reflected Nitro's figure as he soared into the air, almost touching the ceiling.

Although he didn't use the "circle" technique or use his vision to detect the attack location of the flying star leap, he was able to easily launch evasive maneuvers.

It's as if they have eyes on the back of their heads...

Moreover, this sensory response is synchronized with the Hundred Styles of Guanyin's attacks.

Just like the initial offensive and defensive exchange, after the Hundred Styles of Guanyin made her move, she was still able to mobilize the flow of spiritual energy in her body with astonishing concentration.

Moro had no time to ponder how Netero had done it; in a flash, he swung his right arm, using the rings tattoo on the back of his hand to meet the flying star that Netero had dodged.

Ding!
The back of my hand struck the shooting star like a tennis racket.

With the angle deliberately adjusted, the shooting star bounced off and shot obliquely towards Netero, who was in the air.

The offensive didn't stop there.

As long as Morrow is on the ground, he can use his feet to channel his telekinesis into the earth to activate his "Star Leap" ability.

At the same moment he deflected the flying star towards Netero, he also released the flying star's leaping power with his foot.

In an instant,
A cross-shaped star appeared out of thin air on the ceiling.

This is how Moro reorganized the Flying Star attack in a very short time after the initial attack failed.

but--

Meaningless.

That golden light, which seemed to appear from the void at any moment, could always combine offense and defense with unparalleled speed.

Netero lowered his eyelids slightly, his gaze falling on Moro in front of him.

He clasped his hands together.

Amidst the flowing golden light, the giant hand of Guanyin in a hundred forms manifested in accordance with the mind's desire, lightly patting the cross-shaped star on the ceiling.

The shooting stars that should have emanated from the starlight were extinguished before they could fully take shape by that broad palm.

Almost simultaneously, Jin Guangzhong's other bamboo-like arm pushed out horizontally, precisely slashing at the flying star that was shooting diagonally towards him with the side of his palm.

boom!
The flying star shattered instantly.

Everything happened in the blink of an eye.

The Hundred Forms of Guanyin used offense as defense, easily dismantling the fierce offensive that Moro had woven based on his combat awareness.

As Netero closes the gap again, Morrow's reliance on his long-range advantage is being further squeezed.

"As expected... it's still too unreasonable."

Having witnessed firsthand the absolute dominance displayed by the Hundred Styles of Guanyin on both offense and defense, Moro came to a conclusion.

Unless an offensive tactic is developed around "Blitzkrieg", there is no way to see any possibility that "Flying Star" can break through the Hundred Style Guanyin's defense.

But the cooldown time of "Blitz"...

Even with a surge in level and further mastery of "casting," the time may be shortened to 30 seconds.

However, in this confined space with nowhere to retreat, gaining 30 seconds from the onslaught of the Hundred-Style Guanyin is virtually impossible. "Let's give it a try."

Seeing that Netero was about to enter within range of his attack, Moro's eyes flashed with an indomitable sharpness.

"By narrowing the range of 'Starlight Condensation,' we can improve the accuracy and effect, while also leaving more visible aura on the body surface."

The pressure from Niterlo loomed like a shadow, but Moro's spirit remained unaffected.

To activate the ability of starlight condensation, one must maintain a calm and undisturbed state of mind.

This is Moro's forte.

This is also the fundamental reason why he can always calmly formulate tactics in battles where he is weaker than his opponent.

"Starlight Convergence"

Brilliant starlight burst forth from Moro's body, like a densely star-studded galaxy surrounding him.

If there were any bystanders present at this moment, they would have noticed that there was no starlight behind Moro.

His ability is similar to Neferpitou's "circle," both of which allow for free transformation like an amoeba.

Netero descended slowly from the sky, gazing intently at the dazzling starlight surrounding Moro.

He truly felt it...

Morrow's will to create an advantage in battle.

Even after experiencing the overwhelming power of the Hundred-Style Guanyin, her will remained unshaken.

Nitero was very moved.

Therefore, we cannot hold back.

"One Palm of Guanyin in a Hundred Styles"

Amidst the surging golden light, a palm strike came crashing down on Moro.

The dense starlight was suddenly torn apart, revealing a hideous crack.

At this moment, time seemed to be compressed to its limit by consciousness.

Before each shattered star disappeared completely, it fed back subtle information to Moreo's consciousness.

Perhaps it was the impending crisis that caused Morrow's "information processing ability" to reach an unprecedented peak at this moment.

Those fragments of information from the stars, like millions of jigsaw puzzle pieces, were rapidly pieced together in his overclocked consciousness.

Ultimately, they coalesce into a complete picture.

Through this image that had clearly taken shape in his mind, Moreau finally "saw" the trajectory of the slap.

And that broad, calm hand, yet devoid of any compassion.

"By using the ankle twisting technique of the 'gazelle,' you can achieve the fastest side dodge with instantaneous explosive power."

The moment he saw the Hundred Forms of Guanyin's Palm Strike clearly, the method of response instinctively surfaced in Moro's mind.

This feeling is incredibly wonderful.

It's like being in a rapidly flashing slideshow, yet you can clearly capture every frame.

Time seemed to stretch out, and everything slowed down.

That is precisely why he has the leeway to formulate a response strategy.

however,
Consciousness was clearly flowing, but the body was petrified and unable to respond.

This is……

Different flow rates over time.

Consciousness can use its ability to see the attack trajectory of the Hundred-Style Guanyin while the flow of time slows down.

What the body faces is the normal flow of time.

They are simply not on the same wavelength.

The conclusion is that

Even if one could see the trajectory of the Hundred Forms of Guanyin, there wouldn't be enough time for the body to respond.

Therefore, the result remains unchanged.

This is still an attack that cannot be avoided.

Unless one can be like the Ant King, who, through countless beatings, imprints every move of the Hundred Styles of Kannon into their body through combat awareness.

But how could Moro be as resilient as the Ant King?

In the instant when his body could no longer keep up with his consciousness, the only thing he could do was desperately channel more of his spiritual energy towards the location where he was about to be attacked.

next moment.

The palm strike arrived as expected, landing on Moro's body.

bang

Moro was sent flying backward and crashed heavily into the wall behind him.

The wall remained unmoved, yet the impact penetrated entirely into his body.

A metallic, metallic taste surged up my throat, and my mouth was instantly filled with the smell of blood.

But that's about it.

Moro remained conscious, tilting his head to spit out a mouthful of thick blood, without retracting his ability to condense starlight.

"There are 20 seconds left. As long as we can hold out until 'Blitzkrieg' cooldown is over, we'll still have a chance to counterattack..."

With a thought in mind, Moro moved away from the wall, attempting to take a roundabout route to get out of Netero's Hundred Style Guanyin attack range.

After all, if they are blocked in front of the wall, even if they can hold out until the Blitzkrieg cooldown is over, they will not be able to organize a counterattack.

In that situation, the only option is to use a blitzkrieg to move to a safe area.

But that would put us back in the passive position of having to wait for the Flash Strike to cool down.

Moreover, once you're hit by the Hundred Styles of Guanyin's attack, you probably can't even last 10 seconds, let alone 20.

If it weren't for the fact that the manifested energy level has now been increased to Lv.90...

Most of them couldn't even withstand a single blow.

Netero saw through Moro's intentions with just one glance.

Join your palms in prayer.

A golden palm appeared and, with the force of a thousand pounds, deflected it horizontally, striking Moro's side.

There was a muffled sound.

Moro was sent flying without any resistance, crashing heavily into the wall once again.

This time, he didn't vomit blood.

However, his left arm hung limply, indicating a severe fracture.

The ability to read and warn based on the convergence of starlight has indeed been greatly improved in terms of accuracy and effectiveness after the range was narrowed.

However, Moro's physical strength was insufficient to make an effective evasive maneuver in such a fleeting moment.

He could only barely reinforce the local defenses at the point of impact to reduce the lethality of the Hundred Styles Guanyin Palm Strike.

In fact, it wasn't that Morrow lacked physical strength.

Rather, faced with the almost unsolvable offensive of the Hundred-Style Guanyin, humans simply cannot contend with or evade it using only their physical strength.

Unless you also need the blessing of multiple thought abilities.

Moro steadied himself as quickly as possible, and a thought suddenly flashed through his mind.

He seemed to have glimpsed a way to deal with the Hundred Styles of Guanyin, and the possibility of defeating her.

However, this method cannot be implemented at the moment.

Nitro stood still, having already cornered Moro.

however--

A subtle ripple appeared in his eyes as he looked at Moro.

Only a few attacks.

Moro, however, was already able to react to the attack routes of the Hundred Style Guanyin and even manage to defend against it.

"Have you already reached the threshold of 'Heart Drop Kenkyo'...?"

Nitro whispered to himself.
