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

Chapter 241 Hero vs. Demon! This is a huge mistake!

Boom! Boom—

On the rooftop, the sounds of cannon fire continued incessantly.

It's hard to imagine how much ammunition expert Z's rocket launcher has to support it firing continuously for so long.

Each shell was incredibly powerful, seemingly shaking the entire Sky Arena Tower. The rooftop was shattered and left in ruins, and even the floor below was affected.

Unfortunately, the next floor is his 251st floor —

Lynn shook his head, looking helpless. It seemed that the 251st floor would need to be renovated, and it would be a while before they could live there.

However, he was already mentally prepared, so he had Capone take away all the useful things, and there were no valuables in the room.

After all, it was a battle between top-tier experts, and their every move could cause considerable damage. It would be too difficult for the impact not to reach the floors below.

It was thanks to the protective effect of the cross-shaped seal of resentment that Netero was able to escape unharmed.

However, it's not very aesthetically pleasing.

The seal only blocks external energy, but it can't stop dust and smoke, which is why the old man is now covered in soot, and his once clean white robes and beard have turned gray.

The audience's shock was palpable.

They truly couldn't imagine that a toy-like little guy could possess such formidable combat power, launching rockets with a mere wave of his hand.

No wonder he's the world's strongest Lynn!

You can crush your enemy even with just a random toy!

"Enough!!"

A moment later, a roar suddenly erupted from the sea of ​​fire, clearly filled with rage.

Immediately, resentment erupted, engulfing the sea of ​​fire and revealing a slightly disheveled Jade.

Despite Jade's formidable strength, he was still hit by the relentless bombardment, his clothes were slightly damaged, and his resentment was gradually diminishing due to his defenses.

Jade is in a very bad mood right now.

He originally made a pact with the Demon King with extreme determination, sacrificing his soul to be resurrected and becoming even stronger than before.

Logically, his revenge plan should have proceeded smoothly.

First, capture Netero, then force him to release his dark records, and finally settle scores with his old enemies one by one—that's how it should have been.

However, the current situation is far from what he expected.

What does it mean that I, the pinnacle of the six continents, am being crushed by a toy?

It was broadcast live in front of people from all six continents!

Too shameful!

Jade stared intently at Lynn. If looks could kill, Lynn would have been killed by him a thousand times over.

Since it's a Nen artifact, killing Lynn will make it disappear.

But Jade thought about Lynn's defensive ability and the still-attacking Falling Expert Z, and changed his mind.

Destroy that artifact first, then finish off Lynn in one fell swoop!

A person's mental abilities can often reflect many aspects of their personality.

He hadn't witnessed the swordsmanship he'd heard about, but based on his current abilities, he thought Lynn was relatively weak in combat!

Because of his lack of combat power, he puts more effort into protecting himself and relying on external objects, such as using a barrier to protect himself and using the toy to attack the enemy.

As for swordsmanship, he hadn't seen it yet, so he couldn't analyze it, but it was most likely a means of self-defense and not necessarily very strong.

After Jade's analysis, he never expected that these were just a few of Lynn's many cards. He had no weaknesses and was an almost omnipotent being.

"drink!"

With a roar, Jade raised his hand and fired several resentment bullets straight at the Fall Expert Z, confident that he could shatter the toy.

But he didn't expect that the expert in falling down, Z, not only had offensive methods, but also defensive methods.

With a casual flick of his wrist, the expert in falling down pulled out a small ball, which appeared in his hand. At the same time, he was surrounded by an invisible barrier that left no blind spots.

【The Softball】is also one of Doraemon's gadgets. In the original story, it can be carried around to form an invisible spherical shield two meters away from the body, defending against any attack.

boom!

One by one, the resentment projectiles fell, but were blocked by the protective shield, causing no harm to the fall expert Z.

Jade's pupils contracted as he witnessed something unbelievable.

Lynn is one thing, but this little thing actually has defensive capabilities?

What should we do now? Go all out and see who can wear down their health faster?

Just when Jade was feeling overwhelmed, a turning point appeared.

The [Shield Ball] just now depleted the energy of Falling Expert Z, so it disappeared and was automatically recycled.

Overall, Lynn thought it was pretty good, even though the time was a bit short, considering that the expert in falling down, Z, was only rated A+.

Moreover, he didn't use much Nen, so it's quite impressive that he could fight Jade to this extent.

Furthermore, Fall Expert Z is essentially an "assassination expert," capable of assassinating targets across space with a higher success rate.

Disappeared?

Jade blinked, then beamed, "Okay!"

"I see. Your Nen energy consumption must be quite high, right?"

"You must have been under a lot of pressure maintaining that for so long!"

Jade subconsciously assumed that Lynn couldn't afford the Nen supply from the Fall Expert Z, which was why he removed the Nen device.

This is a very reasonable explanation.

After all, Nen abilities are very fair. The toy attack was very powerful, which means that it consumed a lot of Nen energy.

Besides, the toy performed very well, and Lynn had no other reason to put it away except for the fact that it was being used up too much.

Could it be that he would perform better if he did it himself?

Jade doesn't think so.

So now it's his turn!

Although his performance just now was not good, it doesn't matter. As long as he kills Lynn in front of everyone, he can save face!

Seeing this, the audience couldn't help but worry about Lynn.

It seems that even the strongest Lynn is at a disadvantage, and that toy can no longer be used—so can Lynn still defeat the enemy?

"Oh?"

"Do you think I did this because I lacked the necessary spiritual energy?"

Lynn raised an eyebrow and said in a disdainful tone.

"That's a huge mistake."

"That was just a little toy of mine; the real battle is about to begin."

As soon as he finished speaking, a terrifying aura shot into the sky!

Lynn's body emanated an extremely pure spiritual energy.

Buzz—

Ripples spread through the air, waves of air surged and churned, and a buzzing sound rang out. The ground creaked and cracked.

The fluctuations of spiritual energy created strong wind pressure, producing whistling sounds in the darkness.

Feeling the aura released by Lynn, Jade's expression changed immediately.

Wasn't that Lynn's full power just now?

Damn it, he actually held back, only revealing it now.

Feeling Lynn's imposing aura, Jade's scalp tingled. This aura had already surpassed his own—how could this be?

He's so young, how could he possibly possess such strength?

This talent far surpasses that of Netero, and even across the six continents throughout history, he has a chance to compete for the top spot!

His revenge plan—but it just so happened to encounter such a fierce obstacle!

The next moment, Lynn casually drew Ryujin Jakka from his waist.

A flash of light appeared, followed by a sea of ​​blazing fire. With just one strike, a wall of fire, like a waterfall, was formed!

The air temperature soared dramatically, and the sea of ​​fire stood out starkly against the darkness, as if illuminating the night sky.

Even from a considerable distance, others could see the eye-catching flame atop the Sky Arena tower.

In a moment of haste, Jade waved his hands, and a large amount of resentment gathered in front of him, forming a protective shield to resist the attack.

However, the power of this strike exceeded his expectations.

The flames were secondary; the power of that slash was immense!

Upon touching the barrier of resentment, the strike paused only briefly before breaking through the defense and creating a gaping hole.

If he hadn't reacted quickly, he might have actually been injured.

This guy—I didn't expect him to actually be skilled in swordsmanship. He wasn't lying; his actual combat strength is stronger than that toy!

Jade gritted his teeth, feeling that Lynn was quite difficult to deal with.

In comparison, Netero is much easier to deal with.

If he had known this would happen, he should have let Purgatory use its power on Lynn to seal him away. He would have preferred to fight Netero, who was not only weaker but also whose abilities he knew all too well.

But now that things have come to this, all he can do is fight desperately!

Once Lynn is defeated, no one can stand in his way!

If circumstances allow, he might even be able to use his resentment to control Lynn and add a powerful general to his ranks!

Immediately, Jade's emotions fluctuated even more, and he unleashed even more resentment, engaging in a fierce battle with Lynn.

On the rooftop, swords flashed, flames roared, and resentment lingered.

The battle between the two sides not only destroyed the rooftop, but also breached the 251st floor, and initially the cameras were also destroyed.

Later, Mechanical Maru used drones to fly in the sky and broadcast the situation live to countless viewers.

That's why the audience was startled by the exaggerated noise.

The two fought as if they were going to destroy everything in the world, and every move they made could cause astonishing destruction.

This is the battle of true powerhouses!

Hunter Association, meeting room.

Given the urgency of the situation, Xu Gou Qi Duo quickly brought the topic back on track.

"Although the president has run into trouble, Mr. Lynn has stepped in and temporarily stabilized the situation."

"Now it's confirmed, that man is indeed Jade, the leader of the Shadow Squad from back then, who should have been dead!"

"Our primary concern right now remains controlling the situation."

"We need to take down Jade first before we can talk about anything else."

"Although Mr. Lynn is helping, I'm worried that he alone won't be enough—"

Kido likes to consider things more comprehensively, and ideally, to come up with a near-perfect solution.

"Only Porter and Gold among us are qualified to provide support."

Kido subconsciously ignored Pariston.

Putting aside his actual abilities, given his personality of enjoying watching a spectacle and making others dislike him, it's already a good thing if he doesn't stir up trouble, let alone solve any problems.

"I'm on my way, but it will take at least two hours," Chen Longbo said, speaking through a device.

As soon as he sensed something was wrong, he set off.

But no matter how fast you react, you still have to spend time getting there.

"Thank you for your hard work." Qi Duo nodded slightly, then said helplessly, "As for Jin, it's still the same, we can't contact him at all."

"That bastard, I knew he couldn't be trusted!" Kang Jae roared like a tiger with its fur standing on end, his anger blazing.

What time is it? The president's life is hanging by a thread.

Lynn is also facing the enemy head-on.

At crucial moments, the element of metal in the twelve earthly branches is of no use whatsoever.

What kind of support does V5 provide?

The composed Ugly Bull Mizzuston changed the subject, inquiring about other factions.

This matter concerns all the major and minor powers across the six continents, so it can't be just the Hunter Association that's concerned. V5 also needs to make a statement.

"Let me explain this."

Pariston, still sporting that annoying smile, rested his chin on his hand and said...

"Our V5 is quite responsible; not only did they dispatch an airship full of elite soldiers, but they also strongly condemned the criminal acts of Jade and his men."

Upon hearing this, the others didn't react much.

Pariston then continued, "But they were a bunch of soldiers who couldn't even read aloud."

"Wow, that's really courageous."

quiet----

They didn't even send out a single Nen user, and with just a single airship of soldiers, how much of a threat could they pose to Jade?

If we don't use the weapon ban, Jade could probably wipe them all out with a flick of his wrist!

That's indeed the case. In the original story, Jade blasted the airship and the man together with a single claw attack, essentially just throwing his life away.

"We can't count on V5 for now. They'll probably shift most of the blame to the Hunter Association. We can only rely on ourselves."

"We must be prepared for any outcome."

Qi Duo said with a solemn expression.

"The best outcome would be for Mr. Lynn to defeat Jade and successfully resolve this disaster."

"At the same time, we can also use Mr. Lynn's three-star hunter status to reverse the association's reputation and turn misfortune into blessing."

"However, we must also be prepared for a bad outcome."

"The worst-case scenario is that Mr. Lynn is defeated, and then Jade, blinded by hatred, launches a brutal act of revenge, slaughtering even innocent people."

Upon hearing this, the atmosphere in the meeting room became even more tense.

What Qiduo said was not an exaggeration at all.

If Chairman Netero, the strongest in the Old World, and Lynn, the strongest in the New World, were to die at the hands of Jade, the situation would become extremely dire.

Public opinion is secondary; what's more important is how to deal with the incredibly powerful Jade.

If necessary, special forbidden weapons may have to be used.

But reaching that point means humanity has run out of options, and given Jade's ability to be resurrected, it's unclear whether human weapons can truly kill him; many mysteries remain unsolved.

Now that things have come to this, all they can do is support Lynn as much as possible and try to get rid of Jade tonight, otherwise it will only cause endless trouble.

Meanwhile, the battle continued in the live stream from inside the conference room.

Time was of the essence, and Lynn had to fight alone.

Can he defeat Jade?

This is a shared thought in the hearts of countless people across the six continents.

At this very moment, a scene straight out of a fairy tale is unfolding in reality: Jed is the devil, and Lynn is the hero who defeats the devil.
