Chapter 589: Background X Strong X Injured

This member of the secret force living in the darkness is a dead soldier that King Hui Guoru of the Cajin Kingdom has been training since he succeeded to the throne.

Ten years, twenty years, thirty years...

At the same time, supplemented by national strength, it created a terrifying army that can only walk in the dark.

This is the essence of a superpower.

One of Huiguorou's purposes in cultivating this secret mobile force is to secretly protect the legitimate sons who have inherited his bloodline many years later.

He started planning this matter from the day he succeeded to the throne, and he devoted his time, effort, and even national strength without hesitation...

Such fatherly love is not because Hui Guorou's heart is filled with the glory of being a father, but because he has to do this because of the "Egg in the Pot" ritual passed down from generation to generation in the Cajin Kingdom.

"In the egg-in-a-pot ceremony, the princes who are qualified to inherit the throne rely on the power of the 'Gu Pot' to give birth to guardian spirit beasts that strongly reflect their own will. After that, the princes kill each other at all costs, and the last one who survives is Be the next King of Cajin.”

Kajin was able to rise in the war-torn ancient times and step by step become the superpower it is today, relying on the "egg in the pot" ritual passed down from generation to generation.

This ceremony will determine Kajin's next successor to the throne.

Before the ceremony begins, every bloodline of the Cajun royal family is particularly precious.

Because these bloodlines are the essential nutrients to create the next King of Cajin!

Gray Pot Rou is the one who values ​​"bloodline" the most among the Cajun kings in the past, so the image of his "guardian spirit beast" shows an extremely strong "nurturing" feature.

The secret troops sent to secretly protect the royal bloodline are the manifestation of his strong will.

in other words--

This secret force, which has never been seen under the sun, possesses a powerful force that is not known to outsiders.

Even the protected princes had no idea of ​​the existence of these secret force members.

The members of the secret force have no names, and have always been numbered with numbers throughout the generations.

The members of the secret force responsible for protecting the fourth prince Cheli Donich are code-named "Four".

Under normal circumstances, Code Four will judge whether to take action based on real-time conditions.

The control of this degree will be related to the growth of the princes.

Don’t overprotect, don’t protect improperly…

After Codename Four noticed Hisoka and Kurapika, relying on his keen sense of smell, he immediately made the judgment that "the other party should not be allowed to get close to the Fourth Prince."

then--

Codename Four doesn't care at all about Hisoka and Kurapika's true intentions, as well as the relationship between the two of them and the Fourth Prince.

He came to the conclusion that "it needs to be strangled" and decided to strangle the opponent before he entered the territory of the Fourth Prince.

This can be called a rough and unreasonable judgment, which was later confirmed.

After disguising themselves, Kurapika and Hisoka did not resort to infiltration.

Because in a high-rise building with cameras everywhere, there is no point in sneaking into it.

So Kurapika and Hisoka attacked from the front and killed all the bodyguards in black guarding the outside before going to the top floor where Cheridonich was.

"What a weak defense..."

There were quite a few bodyguards in black killed along the way, but none of them had telekinesis.

Therefore, this level of defense was useless in front of Kurapika and Hisoka.

However, such thoughts only lasted until reaching the top.

Two flying knives lingering with the power of concentrated thought flew out from the corner, pointing directly in front of Kurapika and Hisoka who had just arrived on the top floor.

The speed of the flying knife is extremely high, and the angle is particularly tricky.

And before the flying knife struck, Kurapika and Hisoka didn't sense any aura at all.

This shows that the person who throws the throwing knife has at least mastered the extremely high level of "zetsu".

Facing the flying knife that came in front of him in an instant, Hisoka reflexively activated the "flexible love" he had reserved in advance.

With the sudden contraction of the pink sticky thread, Hisoka's upper body suddenly leaned back, making an extremely standard iron bridge movement.

The flying knife flew away from directly above him and penetrated the wall behind him, leaving a delicate hole with a slight sound.

Kurapika doesn't have Hisoka's ability, but he often wears the materialized chains on his hands in advance due to tactical needs.

This habit allowed him to save the step of materializing the chain when facing a throwing knife attack.

And the less than one second contained in this step gave Kurapika the capital to defend himself against the enemy.

He hurriedly raised his hand, and the chain he wore thickened from his fingers, blocking the trajectory of the flying knife.

clang!

But the moment the flying knife touched the chain, the powerful force it contained directly shattered the chain.

"Um!?"

Kurapika's pupils shrank sharply.

But he saw the flying knife flying past his cheek like a rainbow piercing the sun.

laugh--

A blood streak quickly appeared on Kurapika's face, and then blood dripped down, half of his cheeks instantly dyed red.

Although the chain was shattered just now, it still managed to change the direction of the flying knife.

Otherwise, the impact point of the flying knife would not be on the cheek...

Ignoring the bleeding wound on his cheek, Kurapika looked solemnly at a figure in front of the corridor who was wrapped tightly.

"Strengthening system."

In just one face-to-face confrontation, Kurapika determined that the opponent was someone with enhanced telekinesis abilities.

Hisoka suddenly raised his upper body and glanced at the wound on Kurapika's cheek from the corner of his eye.

If he hadn't been used to having a back-up ready at all times, he might have suffered at least some superficial injuries like Kurapika.

Speaking of which——

This habit of always having a backup plan was "taught" to him by Moyu.

From this point of view, being tricked by Mo You so many times is not without its benefits.

"He's a master."

Hisoka put the back of his right hand on his waist and squinted at the figure that seemed to be invisible.

Not to mention the power of the flying knife in his hand, just the aura lingering around his body is enough to show that the opponent is very strong.

I originally thought that Cheli Donich, as the fourth prince of the Cajun Kingdom, really lacked quality in defense...

But the appearance of this figure undoubtedly proved the weight of Chelidonich's identity as a prince.

"Don't catch the throwing knife forcefully."

Kurapika did not respond to Hisoka's comment about the figure, but gave a reminder.

Hisoka snorted.

He just dodged the flying knife, so he couldn't collect combat information through "contact".

However, he believed in Kurapika's ability and judgment.

Since Kurapika thinks that the opponent is an enhancement type, they are basically inseparable.

"Compared to the enhanced type, which focuses on melee combat, this type of opponent... is sometimes more difficult."

Hisoka muttered to himself.

Recognizing the strength of the other party and the feelings generated by it are——

Long lost excitement!

The corners of Hisoka's mouth suddenly grinned in an exaggerated arc, and the pupils in his eyes began to jump with excitement.

After all, I held it in for too long——

During the period when he was parasitized by the "disaster", he could only hide in a place with few human traces.

But I have been waiting for several months just to have a heart-warming fight with Moyu.

The result was that he was crushed unilaterally...

This kind of development is like a pervert who has been in prison for an unknown length of time and finally makes it to the day he is released from prison. Then he wants to freely release his desires, but what happens is that he is met by a tough man.

Instead of releasing his desire, Sisofei became even more depressed.

Those guys who couldn't even be called "combat units" couldn't satisfy him now.

But this person who suddenly appeared and had the ability to use flying knives with enhanced telekinesis was undoubtedly the prey that could best meet his requirements.

Swish——

Unable to suppress the almost pure fighting spirit in his heart, Hisoka suddenly rushed straight towards the unknown figure in front of him.

Maybe you should feel lucky.

The top floors of this building seem to belong to the fourth prince of Cajin Kingdom.

So much so that there is no sense of being stingy in terms of area. Take corridors as an example. Usually in a city like this where land is at a premium, one square meter would be eager to cut it open and use it.

But the corridors of this place—

No,

Rather than a corridor, it is actually more like a wide entrance lobby.

The open space virtually gives more evasion possibilities, so in terms of location, Hisoka and Kurapika still have a slight advantage.

It was precisely because this place was spacious enough that Hisoka dared to rush towards the flying knife-wielding figure from the front.

The person who attacked Hisoka and Kurapika was naturally the codename four who was responsible for protecting Cheli Donish.

"Change system and materialization system..."

Codenamed Four One, he wears a black combat uniform with a closed mask on his face, leaving only a pair of eyes.

His eyes without any emotion quickly glanced at Kurapika who was further away, and then moved to Hisoka who was charging straight towards him.

The two flying knives just now were intended to kill the intruder.

Although unsuccessful, it also provided some intelligence for Code Four.

Compared to Hisoka's ability to turn telekinesis into something similar to glue, Codename Four focuses more on Kurapika's ability to manifest chains.

Because materialized objects usually have some special abilities, they often have to guard against them.

And when he saw the chains flying into fragments of mental energy, Code Four was keenly aware that Kurapika was the type who was good at using tactics.

The basis that proves this inference is Kurapika's practice of disguising the embodied chains as normal chains before entering the battle.

"If there is a chance..."

Codename Four's thoughts turned around, and Kurapika was regarded as a priority target to kill.

But before that, the threat from Hisoka must be dealt with.

Faced with Hisoka's aura that exuded a deformed aura, Code Four was not affected at all. As soon as he raised his hand, a ray of silver light piercing the sun was directed towards Hisoka's face.

The flying knife is extremely fast.

At this distance, it is basically difficult to react.

However, Hisoka was mentally prepared and could predict the approximate trajectory of the flying knife in advance by observing the body movements of code number four.

"Stretchable love"

Before the flying knife struck, Hisoka opened a pink veil on his upper body.

The flying knife that flew from the sky pierced the pink veil, like an iron ball falling vertically on the suspended rubber skin. In the blink of an eye, it poked a long pointed cone on the rubber skin.

But the iron ball couldn't pierce the rubber, and the same was true for the flying knife code-named four.

This is the characteristic of flexible love.

The speed of the flying knife, which was hindered to a certain extent, was naturally affected.

Hisso took advantage of this opportunity and slightly turned his body, letting the flying knife keep moving forward against the pink film.

Code Four saw this and immediately realized that Hisoka wanted to use the rubber-like mental energy to bounce the flying knife back.

But he obviously underestimated the force he exerted on the flying knife, so that it would take at least two or three seconds in the process of "bouncing back".

This time, which can be considered a long time in a battle, was enough for Code Four to take Hisoka's life in one fell swoop.

"It seems that you don't trust the judgment of your "companion."

Code Four said to himself in his heart, and a sharp light flashed in his eyes.

If he was assumed to be a reinforcement type, he would definitely not be able to make such a stupid counterattack.

Code Four touched his waist with his hands, and two flying knives appeared in his hands.

But just as he was about to raise his hand to throw the flying knife at Hisoka, a shiny sharp object broke through the air.

The sharp object looked like thorns, with a chain at the end.

It was Kurapika's thorn chain.

Why did Hisoka make such a risky counterattack? Of course, it was because he knew Kurapika would attack at the right time.

From a personal point of view, Hisoka would rather fight Code Four one-on-one.

But he knew very well what Kurapika would do.

So since it was impossible to fight one-on-one, he simply took Kurapika's "effect" into account in the battle.

The thorn chain attacked Code Four's side like a snake, and then suddenly split into chains with spikes in the air, wrapping Code Four in the form of a cage.

"Monotonous."

Seeing the ability of the thorn chain, Code Four quickly gave an evaluation, and at the same time suppressed the idea of ​​attacking Hisoka, and instead waved the flying knife in his hand.

Suddenly, two sharp rays intertwined in front of Code Four to form an airtight barrier.

The thorn chain flying in the air was shattered the moment it touched the sharp barrier.

The advantage of the reinforcement system was clearly revealed at this moment.

This slash also showed Code Four's accomplishment in "swordsmanship".

However, Kurapika's move did buy time for Hisoka.

The flying knife that was deeply trapped in the pink film was finally bounced out by him.

Swish——!

The flying knife flew towards Code Four at a faster and more fierce speed.

Facing this attack, Code Four threw the two flying knives in his hand unmoved.

The flying knife turned into a sharp light, passed through the spots of light that the thorn chain became after it was broken, and died in mid-air with the rebounding flying knife.

The other flying knife was still pointing directly at Hisoka.

But at this moment, Hisoka had barely adapted to the speed of the flying knife, and he dodged the flying knife by turning sideways.

But just as he and the flying knife crossed each other, the flying knife exploded without any warning.

Accompanied by a sharp sound, the fragments of the blade bombarded Hisoka like rain, hitting tiny blood flowers.

Hisoka was suddenly hit, and his forward momentum suddenly collapsed.

"Is there explosives in the knife...?"

Hisoka, who was tricked, narrowed his eyes as he looked at Code Four.

This guy...

is not an ordinary reinforcement system.
