Hunter x Hunter: From Obtaining the World to Beyond Heaven

Just then, a loud bang suddenly came from outside the palace gate—

Boom!!

'What!?'

The people in the hall were stunned. What was that huge explosion?

Without time to think, Que Long realized in an instant that the loud noise would surely attract the guards outside the door!

The mission to silently resolve the issues between the princess and the prime minister has failed!

His eyes immediately sharpened, and he suppressed his eagerness to hunt, saying:

“Under normal circumstances, I would fight you to the death, but today I have a mission…”

Que Longyi then suddenly pointed his right hand at the ground—

puff!

A wisp of smoke rose out of nowhere from the ground, and Que Long swiftly reached out and ripped the smoke over himself as if it were clothing.

Hechigo frowned, rushed to the smoke like a blood-red whirlwind, and threw a punch that blew the smoke away with a whoosh!

"Ali Baba's second secret: the forty thieves are actually just one person, and that one person is the forty thieves!"

As the smoke cleared, countless tiny figures leaped out of the smoke, excitedly shouting in unison.

Those little people have strange and ugly appearances; they grow larger when exposed to light and bigger when exposed to the wind!

In no time at all, they grew into ugly monsters the size of ordinary dwarfs, emitting sharp and piercing laughter in unison.

As soon as the forty little figures landed, they instantly split into two groups. Ten of them rushed towards the sage on the throne, while the rest rushed towards Hechigo!

'Clone...'

Hechigo was taken aback, then decisively swung his old legs and charged towards—the cattail!

This is a delaying tactic by the enemy to divide their forces!

Fighting those dwarfs at this point would be the worst option; the only optimal solution is to quickly merge with the cattails.

Seeing this, the cattail on the throne decisively lifted her leg and leaped to the top of the high throne, and kicked away the little man who was rushing towards her!

However, the numerical advantage of those smaller people was too obvious.

Hechigo's steps were slow and he couldn't break through the dense human wall formed by those little people even though he forced his way through despite his injuries!

Xiangpu was on the throne, unable to defend himself on either side. He could only use the terrain to barely knock away the small figures that rushed at him with his fists and kicks, and could not cause any damage at all.

'It will take at least half a minute for the guards to arrive...'

A look of urgency flashed in Hechigo's eyes. Under these circumstances, Xiangpu couldn't possibly last ten seconds!

Where would I get half a minute for her?

Using the Demon Egg would be too costly.

Damn it, I was too optimistic about Sly's health back then. I should have just sent Cattail out of Carlo City, or hidden him in the Snake Cave...

But it's no use saying all this now; it's just hindsight.

"Hahaha--"

The little creatures burst into sharp laughter in unison, as if they had witnessed their victory.

Upon hearing this sound, Hechigo gritted his teeth.

It's too late. Even if the price is high, it's better than dying or being maimed!

"Your Majesty! Use that..."

"What are you laughing at! It's awful!"

An impatient voice suddenly came from the doorway.

As soon as the sound appeared, a fine drizzle began to fall in the hall without warning, lasting less than a second!

Rumble—!

Countless flashes of green lightning streaked across the sky, and thunderbolts rained down, instantly charring dozens of tiny figures to a crisp and leaving them motionless.

The pressure on the field immediately eased.

Xiangpu and Hechige stopped what they were doing, staring blankly at the palace entrance—

Dia's tall figure stood against the torrential rain, shouting angrily:

"You're that useless caterpillar's accomplice, aren't you? Tell him to spit out my phone!"

Chapter 329 Past Events × Kenzaki

What happened before their eyes was clearly beyond everyone's expectations.

But Que Longyi and Hechige's extensive experience led them to react simultaneously—

About 30 small, still-moving figures suddenly gathered together, screaming. Their scarlet eyes shone like red candles in the rain.

The tiny beings nimbly formed a tall tower, placing the tiny beings who had already been electrocuted by Dia's lightning on their heads, attempting to forcibly withstand the greenish-blue lightning strikes!

Meanwhile, they continued their march towards the cattails!

Even though he was at a disadvantage, he still refused to give up the assassination attempt.

"Drink!"

Upon seeing this, Hechigo roared and, without hesitation, strode forward, raising his arms to charge straight at the human tower formed by the little men.

He was entangled just now, but nothing can stop him now!

But the moment he rushed out, he sensed something was wrong—

My body movements have slowed down!

Hechigo's heart skipped a beat.

The appearance of Dia means that he was the one who created this rain, and the changes in him only appeared some time after the rain started falling.

Hechigo then decisively concluded that his body stiffness was due to being accidentally injured by Dia's ability!

The specific mechanism is not yet understood, but rainwater is certainly the main medium.

Most area-of-effect attacks don't distinguish between friend and foe, so Hechigo didn't care about being caught in the crossfire; at least he had actually gotten out of trouble.

Moreover, he can also use his psychic energy to move his muscles, and his enormous psychic energy can temporarily offset this inconvenience.

However, there is a problem—Xiangpu's Nen cultivation is far from sufficient!

As I recall, the cattail also got wet from the rain!

Hechigo quickly looked toward the throne.

However, contrary to expectations, a faint breeze was blowing down from the top of the cattail.

The airflow over the body surface forms a thin protective shield, barely keeping the cattail from the rainwater outside.

The cattail was huddled up inside the thin airflow, cautiously observing everything around it.

This airflow is not very strong; even a slight, large movement can disrupt it.

She didn't know why there was such an airflow shield to keep the rain out, but it obviously didn't do any harm.

Although Xiangpu is a bit impatient, she's not brainless.

The battle in front of her was completely beyond her control; it was like a primary school student accidentally wandering into the college entrance examination venue. At this time, not causing trouble was the greatest help she could offer.

Seeing this, Hechigo breathed a sigh of relief; Dia was clearly prepared.

Not far away, the human wall formed by the little people quickly stopped in its tracks.

Because they discovered that even though all the lightning strikes were blocked by the corpses of their comrades, their bodies were already irreversibly stiffening.

Before long, they were all frozen in place, completely unable to move!

Diya watched their every move without surprise, her heart unmoved.

The large head's [green ripple energy] could only be blocked temporarily; the microcurrent dissolved in the rainwater around the lightning strike could also play a role.

The next moment, a blood-red figure swept past, and a barrage of fist shadows erupted!

Hechigo's fists struck like thunder, turning most of the still-breathing little people into minced meat in the blink of an eye.

When they finally got to the last little figure, it suddenly trembled, pain flashed in its eyes, and it opened its mouth and exhaled a large cloud of smoke!

The smoke quickly enveloped the last remaining little figure.

When the smoke cleared, Que Longyi was revealed, panting heavily.

His life force had weakened to the extreme, his skin had dried out, and he had almost lost the ability to stand up.

Seeing this, Hechigo stopped throwing his fist.

What Dia just said seemed to be asking him to do something, and Hechigo also wanted to use this assassin to further investigate those who were disloyal.

Diya waved her hand to disperse the clouds and mist, and the drizzle inside the hall immediately stopped.

He stepped up to the assassin, and heard the man suddenly laugh and say:

"Heh... The royal family is indeed well-established. Are you some kind of 'protection' that old man Sly hid away for the new king?"

Upon hearing this, Xiangpu tightened her grip on the stone.

Sure enough, those people knew Sly had a trump card up his sleeve, but they didn't know what it was.

"Stop guessing. If you can't guess correctly, you should have your accomplice spit out my phone."

Diya reached out and grabbed the defenseless Que Longyi, intending to rush him out.

Suddenly, I noticed his strange expression, his face flushed, and he said:

"It's a pity we can't kill that new king..."

But even if he can take away these two experts, the new king will probably be unable to hold on alone.

Thinking this, he suddenly opened his mouth, and a thick slug crawled out and opened its eyes!
