Hunter x Hunter: The Strongest Zoldyck

On the ring, the distance between Roy and Hisoka widened again.

The two men stood at opposite ends of the ring, twenty paces apart, but neither moved.

Light poured down from the dome, casting the shadows of the two people on the floor, long and drawn out like two black swords, silently confronting each other.

Hisoka tilted his head, his red hair slipping off his shoulder and falling to the side of his face.

His lips curved into a deeper smile, and his tongue darted out from the corner of his mouth to lick his upper lip.

"Are you... suppressing yourself?"

His voice was very soft, so soft it sounded like he was coaxing a child.

"Why? Are you afraid you'll beat me to death? Or... are you afraid I'll beat you to death?"

Roy did not answer.

He merely adjusted his posture slightly, keeping himself aligned with Hisoka at all times. His dark red pupils reflected Hisoka's alluring face. His breathing became light and steady, and his heartbeat gradually calmed down.

bass!......

Bisky jumped up from her seat.

Her blonde twin ponytails swung behind her, and her skirt swayed gently.

She stood at the edge of the stands, her hands resting on the railing. Her emerald green pupils reflected the figure on the ring, and her pupils unconsciously tightened, as if she had discovered a rare gem.

"Yun Gu".

Her voice sounded a little strained.

"exist."

"That child...can you hear his heartbeat?"

Yun Gu closed his eyes and listened intently for two seconds.

Then his eyes snapped open, his brown pupils filled with shock.

"...less than forty times."

His voice was somewhat hoarse and strained, like water squeezed from sand.

His heart rate... was less than forty beats per minute.

"Yes..." Bisky's voice was very soft, so soft that it sounded like she was talking to herself.

"His heart rate was less than forty beats per minute. Standing in front of a powerful expert who was several times stronger than him, his heart rate was still less than forty beats per minute."

Bisky's lips curved slightly, not in a smile, but in a way that said "it's very interesting."

"This kid... is more interesting than I thought."

Sitting back down, arms crossed, and leaning against the chair, Bisky silently made a decision:

"Yun Gu".

"exist."

"After they've finished fighting, go and talk to that child."

Yun Gu was stunned for a moment.

"Master, I..."

"Haven't you always wanted to take on a good apprentice?"

Bisky interrupted him, her voice carrying an undeniable certainty.

"That kid, and those two with him... the red-haired one and the one with the knife... they're all good prospects."

"Especially himself."

Her gaze fell on Roy, on his dark red eyes, calm as a stagnant pool.

"He reminds me of what Chairman Netero looked like when he was young."

Yun Gu's pupils contracted slightly.

He opened his mouth as if to say something, but in the end he said nothing.

On the ring, the distance between Roy and Hisoka began to shrink again.

It's not walking, it's not running... it's flowing.

The two bodies were like two rivers blown by the wind, flowing towards each other from their respective directions, silently and unstoppably.

Light poured down from the dome, casting the shadows of the two people onto the floor. The gaps between the shadows grew narrower and narrower until they disappeared completely.

step.

The distance between the two people has become just one step.

Hisoka raised his left hand, the movement was very slow, so slow that it looked like a slow-motion video.

He slowly raised the fingers of his right hand from his side, holding a playing card with the Ace of Hearts between his fingers.

Then he slashed forward with his right hand...

A flash of red light, sharp as a blade, appeared and stopped millimeters from Roy's dark red pupils.

Seeing the playing cards reflected in his eyes, Roy neither flinched nor blinked.

He silently raised his right hand from his waist... and the pale, dragon-like palm blade pierced towards Hisoka's throat.

No, no, it's not a thorn, it's a dot...

His fingertips stopped less than a millimeter from Hisoka's throat.

He could even feel the tiny blue vein throbbing beneath Hisoka's throat skin—one throbbing, two throbbing, three throbbing...

Faced with this situation, Hisoka's expression remained unchanged, his eyes still filled with aggression.

He stood there, ignoring the throat that Roy was pointing at, a half-smile playing on his lips.

His long, narrow, golden pupils slowly gazed at the white-haired boy before him, and he said:

"you……."

"...Why didn't you stab him?"

"Because... I didn't come here to kill anyone..."

Roy withdrew his right hand, letting it hang at his side, his fingers slightly curled with the fingertips pointing downwards. He then looked up at the strange-looking man in front of him and said:

"Let's begin the second round..."

"Haha... Haha... That's really interesting, that's great... You're so good..."

At this point, Hisoka paused, and a chilling tone returned:

"Okay, I'm starting to feel an irresistible urge to...destroy you today!"

As soon as Hisoka finished uttering the last syllable, his entire demeanor changed.

Press down on the collarbone, and the shoulder blades retract toward the spine, causing the spine to change from a straight line to an arch shape;

His head also lowered.

But it's not the kind of bowing down and admitting defeat; rather than bowing down, it's more like looking up or down.

It resembles the posture of a wild beast that bends down, squints its eyes, and is about to pounce on its prey.

That's not the posture of a human... it's that of a hunter.

They are the hunters of creatures that survive the natural selection process in the environment... natural hunters of creatures...

In the stands, Bissie's smile deepened.

She pulled her right hand back from the railing and let it hang down at her side, her five fingers naturally spread.

Her emerald green pupils slowly replayed the process of the two fighting, frame by frame, judging from her near-three-star hunter strength.

It was obvious that the red-haired man was holding back significantly, neither using Nen nor displaying his normal strength...

All they have is a love for a certain toy.

Bisky also had this passion, but she channeled it into her fervent pursuit of gemstones.

And... that red-haired man was clearly taking pleasure in fighting, seeking the ultimate thrill on the edge of life and death.

"Interesting...really interesting..."

"A fanatical combat enthusiast, a calm and restrained killer..."

"These two are really quite unique..."

"If it weren't for the fact that the red-haired guy is a bit too old to join our Shingen-ryu, I really would like to..."

Bisky blinked her two large, bright eyes, and finally gave up on the idea of ​​recruiting Hisoka into the group.

She only has one thing on her mind right now: how to "lure" the Zoldyck family's child into Shingen-ryu...

After all, this is indeed a rare and top-quality raw stone. Just as jade cannot become a work of art without being carved, people cannot know anything without learning.

"Boy, I am your path."

In the blink of an eye, Bisky stared intently at the ring, waiting for the second half of the match.
