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

Chapter 174 Three Thousand Worlds! Feitan, Die!

At this moment, there was utter silence.

The members of the Phantom Troupe were all surprised by the number of Nen beasts Lynn displayed, and at the same time realized that the information was wrong.

Today's revenge won't go as smoothly as expected!

Of all these, Machi's feelings were the most profound.

Sure enough, the bad premonition came true—Machi's cold face turned pale, her gaze fell on Tsunade who was drinking heavily, and her hands unconsciously clenched into fists.

Unexpectedly, that person was actually Lynn's Nen beast!

She naturally recognized Tsunade as the person she had fought in the casino that day. She had always thought she was a hidden expert from the Reges royal family, but she never expected that she was one of Lynn's Nen beasts!

While shocked, Machi also had to think about something else.

If even a Nen Beast possesses such immense power, then what about Lynn himself?

Thinking of this, Machi's heart sank to the bottom. Her intuition was frantically warning her that a great disaster was about to befall her!

They, like a spider with three missing legs, had somehow fallen into the web that Lynn had laid.

"I can't escape directly—I need to find an opportunity," Kuroro thought to himself.

At this point, others also realized the seriousness of the problem.

Lynn's strength exceeded expectations, and they were now in a state of being "surrounded." Judging from Lynn's appearance, he seemed to have them cornered and would not be willing to let them escape.

A battle is unavoidable; we have to fight one!

Kuroro immediately made a decision: after testing Lynn, he would look for a suitable opportunity to leave.

At the same time, Kuroro was also quite curious about the specific strength of Lynn and his Nen beast. Whether they were truly powerful or just bluffing, all the questions would have to be answered in the battle.

If Lynn really persists, then we'll have no choice but to fight to the death!

It's not that it's invincible.

Lynn released so many Nen beasts at once, the consumption of Nen energy will definitely be a big problem, and he probably won't be able to fight a prolonged battle.

Secondly, in the final analysis, these "people" are just mind beasts. As long as we capture the leader first and focus on Lynn, we will succeed in dealing with Lynn.

Overall, the situation was not much different from what was expected, the only deviation being that Lynn concealed his strength.

However, the exact amount concealed is still unknown.

Therefore, we need to test the waters.

Before that, we need to figure out where the information was leaked from.

If there really is a spy, they must be identified immediately, otherwise it will be very disadvantageous for them if the spy makes a move in the chaos later.

He personally leans towards the idea that Hisoka was behind it all.

Hisoka himself was always somewhat detached from the Phantom Troupe, never truly integrating into it, and he also knew Lynn.

Unbeknownst to anyone, Kuroro's left hand, hidden behind his back, had materialized into the [Thief's Ultimate] technique. At the same time, he calmly said, "I didn't realize you knew so much about us."

"They even know exactly what we did tonight."

"Can I interpret this as someone among us who knows you well secretly passing you information?"

Or am I being manipulated by you?

As soon as he finished speaking, Pakunoda, Feitan, Kuwa, and the others instinctively looked at Hisoka, who was smiling at the edge of the group.

No matter how you look at it, this guy seems like a complete traitor.

"We've been targeted—but I clearly didn't tell Lynn that the Phantom Troupe would make a move tonight. Did I judge from the chaos in the capital that the Phantom Troupe wouldn't miss this opportunity tonight?" Hisoka wondered to himself.

There's no way around it; stereotypes are too deeply ingrained. Whenever something happens, everyone will immediately think of him.

Although he did send Lynn a message~

Lynn glanced at Hisoka, who appeared calm on the surface but was actually a little flustered, and then held up two fingers: "You've said it wrong again."

"There are indeed spies among you, but not just one, but two."

two?!

Upon hearing this, the members of the tour group were shocked and their hearts were filled with turmoil.

"How is this possible! Bastard!" Feitan, whose face was half-covered by his collar, was like a volcano that had been holding back for a long time. His emotions had reached their peak and he could no longer hold back.

The next moment, a figure flashed past and headed straight for Lynn.

Feitan was the first to charge out, drawing a deep red umbrella sword with a skull pattern on it. He moved like a ghost, rapidly approaching Lynn, so fast that he left afterimages.

He was one of the brigade's combatants, specializing in fast attacks.

Similar to Nobunaga, but also different.

Nobunaga's speed comes from rapidly unleashing Iaijutsu slashes within the "circle" area; his own movement speed is not particularly fast.

Feitan, on the other hand, is fast in every way. He has a fast attack speed and a fast movement speed, and even his weapon is a unique, light and convenient umbrella sword.

He wasn't stupid. The situation on the field was already clear: a battle was inevitable. So instead of following Lynn's lead, he might as well take the initiative.

So what if there are many Nian beasts?

Generally speaking, a person's Nen ability can reflect various aspects of that person. The more someone likes to create Nen beasts for battle, the more likely they are to overlook their own power.

If he's fast enough, he can kill Lynn, and all the Nen Beasts will vanish!

However, Feitan's idea was destined to fail.

Halfway there, a green figure blocked his way.

Peng!

The two swords clashed, generating a terrifying shockwave that visibly rippled outwards from beneath their feet.

"The speed is not bad, but the strength is lacking." Zoro, holding the Sandai Kitetsu to block the umbrella sword, commented with a smirk.

"Damn it!"

Feitan's gaze sharpened further; if looks could kill, Zoro would probably have been annihilated several times over in his eyes.

What angered him even more was that Zoro was right. Just from that one exchange of blows, he could tell that he was no match for Zoro in strength!

Although I'm very reluctant to admit it, this guy is indeed a formidable opponent!

Feitan, who was extremely fast, was intercepted in an instant.

Seeing this, the members of the Phantom Troupe frowned and looked Zoro over again.

That guy clearly has a swordsman style; he even carries three swords. I wonder what kind of swords he's using.

However, it's probably no weaker than Feitan.

Just as Pedrolev stepped forward, he was stopped by Phinks' outstretched arm. Phinks said coldly, "Feitan doesn't want anyone else interfering in his battle, and—"

Finks didn't say the second half of his sentence, but the others could understand what he meant to some extent.

Right now it's just a one-on-one fight between Feitan and Zoro, and the situation is under control. But once they make their move, it will instantly turn into a massive free-for-all.

They still don't know what Lynn meant by the two spies, so acting rashly is not the best option.

Moreover, Feitan's performance can be used to judge Zoro's, and even Lynn's, strength, and this one-on-one duel can be used as a test.

"Don't get too cocky!"

"Just a mere Nen beast!"

Feitan's face was contorted with rage as he swung his umbrella sword with incredible speed, instantly creating a series of sword flowers in mid-air.

Unwilling to admit defeat, he was only focused on defeating Zoro as quickly as possible.

If he can't even handle a mere spirit beast, doesn't that mean he's not even a tenth as good as Lynn?

Zoro's gaze sharpened, and a look of delight crossed his face. He enjoyed sparring with swordsmen, and although Feitan was a bit weak, he was still passable.

"One-Sword Style: Three Hundred and Sixty Troubles of Wind!"

In an instant, Zoro flicked his wrist, and several sharp sword energies whistled past, colliding violently with Feitan's umbrella sword.

A cloud of smoke billowed out, then was blown in all directions by the sounds of the battle. Two swordsmen engaged in a fierce battle in the middle, with countless flashes of swords and blades.

The commotion was quite significant.

As Feitan fought, he became increasingly panicked, because he could clearly sense that Zoro's strength and even his swordsmanship were superior to his own.

Zoro could see through every one of his sword strikes, and sometimes he couldn't handle it, so much so that not long after, a cut appeared on his body.

"Dual Sword Style: Rashomon!"

Before long, Feitan was sent flying by Zoro's sword.

Peng!

The Feitan flew backward like a cannonball, crashing violently into the wall behind it. With a thunderous roar, the wall collapsed, sending countless pebbles and dust flying out.

After a few rounds, Feitan—was directly blasted away?!

Finks frowned, his eyebrowless brow furrowed, finding it hard to believe what he was seeing.

He gets along best with Feitan, so they usually operate in pairs. He is the person in the Phantom Troupe who knows Feitan best, including Feitan's strength.

It's no exaggeration to say that if he were to fight Feitan one-on-one, Feitan would most likely win, because Feitan not only has a fast attack speed but also a fast movement speed. If you get entangled with Feitan, it's difficult to unleash your full potential.

Even with such strength, Feitan was sent flying after only a few rounds of fighting Lynn's Nen beast—which shows that Lynn's Nen beast was quite powerful!

Peng!

A large rock was pushed aside, and the short-statured Feitan stepped out.

Feitan had completely gone mad, muttering incomprehensible words to himself, his clothes covered in dust, looking utterly disheveled.

His small body emitted a sharp Nen aura, making him resemble a drawn sword, solely for the purpose of killing Zoro.

"Shall we continue?"

"You shouldn't have continued when you realized you couldn't beat me."

"I'm not interested in my defeated opponents."

"But have you ever seen a wild beast that would never bite?"

"I've never seen anything like it before!"

'

Zoro narrowed his eyes, his body radiating an astonishing aura, his entire being like a drawn blade. At the same time, he drew Wado Ichimonji and placed it in his mouth, holding Sandai Kitetsu and Shusui in both hands, preparing to deliver the final blow to Feitan.

In an instant, Feitan's Nen energy began to swirl and change, and the surrounding temperature suddenly soared, as if it were about to ignite him and turn him into a blazing sun!

A blazing fireball suddenly erupted, the dust on the ground stirred restlessly, and even the air began to fluctuate.

In contrast, Feitan was wearing clothing formed from his Nen abilities to protect himself from the scorching sun.

This is Feitan's Nen ability.

[Scorching sun] and [An unforgivable sinner]!

He can create fireballs as bright as the sun to attack enemies, while also making a set of protective clothing to prevent himself from being harmed.

He's been forced by Zoro to the point where he has to use his Nen ability!

The dazzling fireball was exceptionally eye-catching. In a short period of time, it expanded by a large circle, stirring up waves of heat. The air began to distort, and the ground was scorched black.

Feitan was now completely absorbed in his Nen ability, wearing armor-like clothing and muttering to himself in a language that no one else could understand.

Seeing this, Zoro's voice was deep and steady as he recited a Buddhist verse: "Nine mountains and eight seas make one world; a thousand worlds together make a small chiliocosm!"

"The three realms multiply by three, and there is no self that is not interrupted!"

There it is! A user of the Naming Fruit!

The next moment, the muscles in his arms bulged, and a terrifying aura spread out, with black mist-like ghostly energy swirling around the three knives.

At the same time, the fireball began to move.

Like the sun falling, it was accompanied by raging flames, as if it wanted to purify everything in the world, with astonishing power.

Not far from the palace, others could also see the light from this place, as if a small sun had appeared here.

Seeing that things were not going well, Machi was the first to try to stop it, but just as she was about to make a move, an inexplicable aura locked onto her, causing her to stop in her tracks.

Machi's usually icy expression showed a rare look of surprise as she glanced at Tsunade, who was drinking with her head down not far away, and her pupils contracted.

Her intuition told her that if she hadn't stopped, she would have collapsed in an instant, and even if she hadn't died, she would have been seriously injured!

Not only that, the other members were also being watched.

If you even have the slightest thought of making a move, you'll be snatched away in an instant.

Considering Feitan's past performance, they still had enough confidence in him. Only Machi, with her extraordinary sixth sense, felt that things were very bad.

Three swords crossed in front of him, Zoro's power converged at the tips of the blades, condensing into a blinding light. He pushed off with his feet, charging straight towards Feitan, who had transformed into a blazing sun, and roared, "Three-Sword Style Secret Technique—"

'

"One Great Thousand Worlds, Three Thousand Universes!!"

boom!!

A deafening sound emanated from mid-air, spreading outwards, creating visible sound waves and shockwaves in the air, accompanied by bursts of flame, and even reaching places far away.

In this night, the setting sun fell like a bomb.

Feitan didn't even have time to react.

As the slash pierced through the center of the crimson sun, the fireball let out a final mournful cry, its light dimming abruptly like a candle being extinguished.

The entire blazing sun was cleaved in two, and the surging spiritual energy lost its cohesion, turning into countless dissipating sparks.

Before the explosions had even subsided, Zoro landed cleanly and decisively.

The next moment, Feitan, who had been cut in two, landed behind him.

Feitan, die!

Without the support of psychic energy, countless flames vanished rapidly, leaving only scorched earth and scorching air.

Even when he used his ultimate move, Feitan was still just a slowdown for Zoro. From beginning to end, Zoro only treated Feitan as a pastime in his spare time.

Feitan—is he dead?!

The members of the troupe stared at the 0.5 Feitan on the ground, which looked like a charred corpse. Since Feitan was already short, the charred corpse, cut in half, was even less recognizable as human.

Witnessing their companions die tragically before their eyes was such a powerful shock that everyone wore different expressions.

Although I knew beforehand that Uvogin and his two companions were dead, I hadn't witnessed it firsthand, so my subjective feelings were different.

This time, they witnessed Feitan die right before their eyes!

And this is just the beginning!
