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

Chapter 277 Double Bankai Attack! Who is stronger?

boom!

Another round of clashes ensued, with both sides using the recoil to widen the distance between them.

Amidst the billowing dust, the Ant King remained calm, exuding an air of absolute confidence, and spoke in a measured yet forceful tone: "You no longer have a chance."

It spread its hands, then clenched them into fists, adopting the starting stance of the Flowing Water Rock Shattering Fist, and continued, "See that? This is the move you used."

"I don't know how long it took you to learn, but I only learned it in the short time I sparred with you."

"Indeed, my skill level is not as good as yours right now, but if you give me a little more time, I will be able to catch up with you."

"That will be your death day."

The Ant King stared intently at Lynn, his usually indifferent eyes now revealing an undisguised longing and excitement.

Like a starving ghost that hadn't eaten for days seeing a feast, the thought of devouring Lynn lingered in its mind and had grown into a towering tree!

"There is a huge talent gap between us, and that's not your fault, but a limitation of the human species."

"It has been proven that our race is stronger than humans, and the moment they lifted me up as their king, this world was destined to be ruled by me."

"Because I not only have a strong body, but also a learning ability that far surpasses that of humans."

"You've been able to fight me for so long, you truly deserve to be called the strongest among humans, you can be proud of that."

"But that also shows that you were just talking big."

"I will not lose to you; on the contrary, you will die by my hand, and then—I will devour you completely!"

At this point, the Ant King revealed that twisted, hungry expression again, like a demon crawling out of hell.

It'll be soon—it will soon be able to taste Lynn!

There's no doubt that Lynn is incredibly delicious; it will be an unforgettable experience for her, and she will cherish that moment!

Upon hearing this, Lynn remained unfazed, his handsome face showing no emotion. His deep eyes were fixed on the Ant King, and the corners of his mouth slightly turned up: "It seems you didn't listen to a word I said, Ant King."

"Never mind, I knew this would happen anyway."

"With your innate arrogance, no matter what others say, it won't make a difference."

"Only when you experience the harsh reality firsthand will you understand whether what I just said was just empty talk."

Lynn patted his waist, and a flash of light appeared. Yaodaoji instantly transformed into Hyōrinmaru and Ryūjin Jakka, which were in his left and right hands respectively.

Then, he gave the same look as the Ant King: "You consider yourself the hunter, and I am the prey."

"But in my eyes, you're the prey!"

"You want to eat me up, and I want to eat you up just as much!"

Compared to him, the ant king's eating habits are insignificant.

He intends to completely devour the Ant King, squeezing out every last drop of value, leaving nothing behind.

The next moment, Lynn's gaze sharpened, and he slashed down with the Flowing Blade of Fire in his right hand.

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, making the inferno particularly striking in the underground space.

The terrifying wall of fire advanced towards the ant king, seemingly intent on engulfing him in flames, turning him from a high and mighty ant king into a roasted ant.

[Chengguo Yanshang]!

Knife?

Moreover, they are two completely different blades—one of ice and one of fire.

A wave of heat hit him head-on. The Ant King, his face cold, quickly dodged the flames while pondering to himself.

Lynn is not only skilled in boxing, but also in swordsmanship. It's clear that those two knives are not ordinary; we need to be careful.

Thoughts flashed through my mind like lightning.

This was also the first time the Ant King had fought a serious battle, even worthy of its brainpower to think about the enemy's abilities and weaknesses.

Taking games as an example, in the past it was just playing invincible mode, relying on its basic attributes to crush everything and never encounter any "opponents".

But now it has entered hard mode, and basic attributes alone are no longer enough.

Therefore, it needs to analyze the enemy's attributes and abilities, come up with a strategy, and act like a normal player to defeat the enemy whose difficulty level is suitable for it.

Learning swordsmanship was naturally out of the question.

Leaving aside whether it could learn it, it didn't even have any swords, so how could it practice swordsmanship? Therefore, it took this opportunity to imitate the enemy's...

The strategy failed.

It can only rely on its existing strength and the newly learned Flowing Rock Shattering Fist to fight its enemies—generally speaking, this is not a problem.

Even so, it still has enough confidence to defeat Lynn, it just takes a little more time.

To savor the finest cuisine, it doesn't care about waiting a little longer.

The Ant King appeared in front of Lynn with astonishing speed, and using the techniques he had just learned, he quickly launched a fierce and relentless attack.

It has no special Nen abilities, nor any ranged attack capabilities. All it can rely on, and all it needs, is its own body, which it is proud of, so it can just keep moving forward.

It will knock Lynn down with its own fists!

boom!

In an instant, the Ant King's fist, enveloped in terrifying Nen energy, collided with the blue and red twin blades, creating a loud bang. A wave of energy surged outwards in all directions.

good chance!

Lynn's eyes flashed, and he displayed even greater speed than before, rapidly wielding his twin swords, first Hyōrinmaru and then Ryūjinwaka.

The two swords alternated their attacks, sometimes striking at the same time, unleashing several strikes in an instant. He continued to advance, just like the Starburst Stream Slash from Sword Art Online.

【One-Sword Style: Hundred Flowers in Full Bloom】!

This is a move he created long ago; with each strike, the power of the next strike will be even greater.

Originally, it was just Hyōrinmaru, a single sword. At that time, Yōtōhime couldn't transform into two swords at the same time, so the effect was relatively weak.

But now, with Hyōrinmaru in his left hand and Ryūjin Jakka in his right, he can fully unleash the power of this technique.

One after another, ice-blue and fiery-red sword beams streaked across the sky, all heading straight for the Ant King.

Faced with this increasingly fierce attack, the Ant King could only temporarily avoid the fray and focus on defense, not daring to be careless.

But in the end, Lynn seized the opportunity.

boom!

As the Hundred Flowers Bloomed into its later stages, and Lynn himself began to lose control, Hyōrinmaru finally struck the Ant King's torso, forcing the latter to retreat a considerable distance due to the force of the blow.

Once the ant king had come to a stop, a gruesome knife mark, visible to the naked eye, appeared on its dark green body.

The wound was not shallow, and it was injured by the icy properties of Hyōrinmaru. The entire wound was covered with translucent and crystal-clear frost, so there was no bleeding.

This will effectively prevent the wound from healing on its own.

The Ant King covered the wound on his torso with his left hand, his face drooping and turning gloomy.

I was careless; I never expected to get hurt by Lynn.

It must be admitted that Lynn is indeed skilled; his swordsmanship is just as good as his fist skills—no, his swordsmanship is even better.

The two knives in his hands seemed less like external objects and more like arms growing from his own body. He wielded them with remarkable ease, allowing him to perform both offensive and defensive maneuvers with effortless skill.

It also tried to destroy the sword, but its hardness exceeded expectations, so it eventually gave up the idea and decided that it would be more appropriate to find an opportunity to attack Lynn's main body.

"They're really tough."

"That's fine, it's been a long time since I've really taken a serious stance."

"You can be proud of that."

Lynn smiled and repeated the Ant King's words, returning them to him in kind.

The Ant King's forehead veins bulged, its tail thrashed restlessly behind it, and it slammed its tail into the ground, creating a crater. Its body was covered in black and purple Nen energy, which was baring its fangs and claws.

Having been provoked by Lynn time and time again, its patience had reached its limit.

It was just a lucky accident that it was injured, yet it's so arrogant.

This minor injury is nothing to it.

Lynn took in the Ant King's behavior and sneered, "Very unhappy?"

"This is just the beginning."

"I hope you can maintain this mindset going forward."

Lynn's gaze sharpened, and his Nen energy became even more frenzied and turbulent. A large amount of Nen energy rushed into the twin swords, and the appearance of the twin swords changed rapidly.

He raised Hyōrinmaru and Ryūjin Jakka at the same time, his expression resolute.

"Swastika! Daiguren Hyōrinmaru!"

"Swastika! The residual fire sword!"

Then an unbelievable scene unfolded.

A terrifying pressure instantly descended upon the field, and a powerful aura formed around Lynn.

Centered on his feet, a strong wind blew in all directions, sweeping up thick dust and expanding in circles. His whole body radiated a dazzling aura of energy, like the blazing sun.

Behind him appeared a pair of ice wings and a dragon tail made of ice crystals, and lotus petals appeared behind him.

To the left, a pillar of light composed of ice and cold air, mixed with terrifying pressure, shot into the sky, reaching an unknown height.

On the right, the flames spread rapidly and shot straight into the sky, looking at first glance like an unusually sunny day with the temperature rising rapidly.

Then the weather became very strange. Centered on Lynn, the left half of the sky became covered with dark clouds, and snow and hail began to fall, while the humidity in the air increased.

The right half of the sky was extremely clear, flames rose like a high wall, the air was distorted by the scorching heat, and waves of heat rolled in.

He can now use Bankai Ryujin Jakka, and when he opens the Sixth Gate, he can even use Bankai on both swords at the same time.

Of course, doing so will cause your Nen to dissipate at an alarming rate, so it can only be used at critical moments and cannot be used frequently.

not good!

We can't let him continue like this!

The ant king's expression changed drastically.

He was standing in a relaxed and natural posture, but after feeling Lynn's aura, he quickly assumed a fighting stance.

Muscles tensed, preparing for any possible attack.

The ant king's alarm bells rang loudly. Looking at Lynn, who was caught between ice and fire, only one thought remained in his mind.

This is the perfect time! Seize this opportunity to deliver a fatal blow to Lynn!

In the blink of an eye, the Ant King vanished from its spot and reappeared in front of Lynn in an extremely brief instant.

A large amount of dark purple Nen energy was gathered in his fists, and the Ant King revealed a ferocious smile, determined to hit Lynn with this opportunity!

The next moment, the Ant King's smile froze on his face.

boom!

Lynn didn't move an inch. The Ant King's fist struck the thin green barrier that suddenly appeared in front of him and was blocked.

Hold on!

He is currently fusing with an A+ rank Dragonite, thus enabling him to use this defensive move, which is considered one of the best defensive moves among all Pokémon.

Originally, "holding" meant completely blocking the attack, but now the level of defense depends on the amount of Nen he consumes, allowing him to exert a defensive effect many times over with just one unit of Nen.

Therefore, he also consumed a lot of his spiritual energy.

But all of this was worth it.

On the other hand, the ant king seemed somewhat incredulous.

So it was accepted just like that?

Is this green barrier also part of this guy's Nen ability?!

It possesses extremely strong defensive capabilities?

How could it be that even this one blow couldn't shatter it!

The Ant King's expression changed drastically, but it had no time to be stunned. Lynn raised his twin swords after Bankai and was about to attack it!

"There's no other way, we have to fight!" The Ant King roared hoarsely, his eyes filled with ferocity, and his dark green body erupted with power.

An even more terrifying dark purple aura, breathtaking and awe-inspiring.

In that instant, the black-purple Nen representing the Ant King, and the ice-blue and crimson Nen representing Lynn, collided, forming a clear dividing line.

Immediately afterwards, Lynn gritted his teeth, his hands feeling as heavy as lead, and under the pressure, he unleashed an extremely powerful ice and fire slash!

A large amount of spiritual energy suddenly surged from his body, and the results of his long-term hard training were fully displayed at this moment.

hum! !

A beam of icy blue sword energy and a beam of crimson red sword energy shot into the sky.

They kept their distance from each other, but inevitably friction occurred in the middle, forming extremely high-temperature steam, like a giant meteorite with distinct blue and red colors falling!

boom!!

In a flash, the ice and fire sword energy collided with the Ant King, unleashing a deafening sound that sent ripples through the air.

The horrific collision triggered unimaginable reactions, especially causing devastating damage to the environment.

The ground beneath their feet, already suffering greatly, emitted the loudest cracking sound in history, instantly splitting open with huge spiderweb-like cracks before collapsing completely.

Smoke and dust billowed into the sky, mingling with the auras of both sides, but were then dispersed by the terrifying shockwave.

For a moment, everyone behind the screen held their breath, watching the two people on the screen with excitement and trepidation.

This was the most exciting and thrilling crucial moment of the entire battle.

Who knows, this one strike might just decide the outcome.

Is it the Ant King, with its unique natural advantages and monstrous talents, that gives it the edge?

Or is it that Lynn, fighting as the strongest human, can defeat the monster ant king with his twin swords?!

They dared not miss a single glance, for fear of missing some crucial moment, so they all held their breath and concentrated, almost at the most focused moment of their lives.
