The Bet Between Two Men

"Are you in such a hurry?"

Long pressed down harder with his foot, squeezing down on Beyond's arm.

Upon hearing this, the latter slowly raised his arm, resisting the force exerted by Oboro.

This made Long narrow his eyes. The other party's physical strength... seemed to surpass his own, and also surpassed Netero's.

Bang! Beyond's arm was lifted a foot off the ground, a surge of energy rushed down and into Long's foot, causing the old man's hand to be stomped down again and sink deep into the mud.

"Oh?"

Beyond's eyebrows twitched, as if he was particularly interested in Oboro's power.

The Thousand-Kilogram Drop! One of the techniques that Oboro learned in his early years.

"He's just one of your men, you didn't need to show yourself... You're in such a hurry to make a move, aren't you just impatient?" Beyond said with a smile.

Fishing.

Long thought to herself.

King Nasubi Hui Guo Rou indeed no ordinary man... He is willing to sacrifice a prince to let him face off against Beyond.

It seems... they discovered the Fills Family's spies within the royal family long ago, including that Honey Pot.

This action serves two purposes: firstly, it eliminates the threat posed by the Fills Family; secondly, it serves as a warning to Beyond through his actions. For Hui Guo Rou, a fight between him and Beyond would be entirely harmless, resulting only in the loss of one of his sons.

Anyway, he has many sons.

If it's gone... it can be regenerated.

By Beyond has won... From now on, at least for the foreseeable future, the Fills Family will have to think twice before trying to gain any influence in the royal family.

If Oboro wins... then it means that Oboro is a better partner Beyond.

The Fills Family also has the power to force V5 to submit and achieve their plan to travel to the Dark Continent.

Nasubi Hui Guo Rou is screening his partners.

And... Oboro couldn't refuse.

As for Beyond ... he just wanted to use this opportunity to lure Lone into appearing. Beyond was well aware of the king's thoughts... but he didn't care.

His goal was simpler... to force Oboro to join his camp.

Or rather... it's about submitting to him.

It's clear that he has that confidence.

Otherwise, neither Beyond nor Hui Guo Rou need to get involved in the disputes between the princes.

To them, it was just a trivial matter.

What Pariston wanted to do was to change Beyond recruiting Oboro, exacerbate the conflict and contradiction between the two, and make it so that only one of them could survive in the end.

Once he sensed that Beyond had appeared, Long, who was hiding in the shadows, already understood.

He was nearby to guard against this possibility.

Smack

Long stepped on Beyond with one foot and simultaneously lashed out with his whip.

The air exploded, and the Eighth Prince, who was nearby, along with the Queen on one side, were instantly torn to pieces, their bodies mangled beyond recognition.

"Let's go... there's nothing for you to do here," Long said calmly.

Upon hearing this, the private soldiers hurriedly escorted the eldest prince away.

At this moment, due to the struggle between Oboro and Beyond, cracks began to appear all over the ground beneath their feet, centered on the deep pit, as if a dark spider web was growing on the earth... Moreover, the clash of Nen released by the two caused the air pressure in the surrounding space to drop to an appalling low, making it impossible to breathe.

Everyone realized something was wrong; if they stayed any longer... none of them would survive.

This is a battle between two monsters that do not belong to the human realm.

"Now I understand why my old man thinks so highly of you..." Although Beyond's posture was awkward, his laughter was incredibly hearty.

He was also intentionally giving Benjamin and his private army time to withdraw.

Only after hearing the car drive away did Beyond suddenly raise his hand. Long's thighs couldn't hold on for a moment, and he was thrown out, flipping and landing in mid-air.

By Beyond slowly stood up, stretched his shoulders, and stared at Long, who had tucked his sunglasses into his pocket and looked serious. "Are you really coming?"

"..."

His face was expressionless.

The other party was referring to a serious battle between the two.

"Oboro, you are a qualified partner. And I admire you very much... Join me and explore the Dark Continent together. The human world can no longer satisfy us, and that land is our home... Don't worry about your gang anymore. What power, what status, compared to that land, they are all bullshit!" By Beyond looked excited and stretched out a large hand to Oboro, making an invitation.

At the same time, he patted his chest with his other hand. "I have been to the Dark Continent and know how terrible it is. Without reliable partners, it is difficult to come back alive... There are some strong people in the human world who are qualified to go to the Dark Continent, but they are too worried or too foolish. They have become accustomed to comfort... This will only make them complacent and lose all possibilities!"

"Netero is the same way!"

"I see the same thing in your eyes as I do... And those who have the strength to establish themselves on that continent are few and far between in the entire human world. What V5, what Hunter Association ... Don't bother recruiting those small fry. Even if you carefully select a team, they won't be of any use there... They'll only become a burden. A partner you can truly rely on is very precious... So, come with me!"

Yang De's words were more impassioned and inspiring than Yang De's.

In particular, his gaze was incredibly sincere.

No wonder... Kakin later announced his departure for the Dark Continent.

He will be the one to deliver the speech to the world.

It must be admitted that although Oboro disliked Beyond, he did have outstanding personal charm.

"You..."

Oboro spoke.

He stared indifferently at Beyond, "Not worthy!"

Hahahaha...

He gave a rougher laugh Beyond, but without any anger.

He simply lowered his shoulders and assumed a fighting stance. "I won. I won't kill you... We'll make a pact. From now on, you must listen to me."

"What if you lose?"

"I lost... I'll give you my life! How about that? Pretty good deal, right..."

"It seems... you have quite a bit of confidence in yourself."

Long murmured, and as the sound faded, a large swath of dark mist rolled in, engulfing his figure and disappearing from Beyond's sight.

At the same time, countless ghosts, like locusts, flew towards Beyond, emitting sharp roars that shook the mind.

The battle has begun!

The agitation of the ghosts can affect the target's mental state, but Beyond, the little ghosts controlled by Oboro cannot shake his mind at all.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh...

Dense spirits flew around in front of him, along with drifting mist, making it impossible for Beyond to sense Oboro's location. Moreover, he found that his thoughts were also difficult to spread in the sea of mist, and were greatly hindered.

He remained remarkably calm, standing firm as a mountain.

Suddenly, the air was torn apart by several sharp beams, which fell on him from a distance.

It struck the Nen power on his body, causing a violent tremor.

His resolve has been broken!

"Um?"

Beyond's eyes flashed, and he was surprised.

The power of the Nen contained in the Oboro technique exceeded his expectations.

Furthermore, without needing to gather strength to get close, the attack seems to transcend time and space, ignoring distance and automatically landing on the body.

The massive 'blade-like aura' slashed down, leaving several bloody marks on Beyond's body.

"A finger technique!"

By Beyond, he saw through the clues.

The next second, an endless barrage of sharp light enveloped him like a tidal wave.

From a distance, he looked as if he were engulfed by a storm.

It was Oboro... In the blink of an eye, he unleashed hundreds of combat techniques at him. Each flick of his fingers was like a sharp knife, slashing violently at Beyond's body.

Oboro's attack range has now reached ten meters!

Every attack is a guaranteed critical hit, dealing tons of damage.

This is also why Beyond misjudged the power of his moves.

Hahahaha!

"Ha!"

A thick current of air enveloped Beyond. He crossed his arms over his chest to protect his head, his muscles bulged, and his Nen power surged... Although his entire body was being brutally ravaged, his clothes exploded in an instant, splattering countless bloodstains... he was laughing.

"You haven't been to the Dark Continent ...you don't understand that humanity...has its limits."

"Even predictable and identifiable attacks have their limits... so they're not scary."

"What's truly terrifying... is always the unknown."

Beyond muttered to himself, he slowly opened his blocking arm, letting Long's finger techniques cut through his skin on his face. He withstood the force, and a large knife appeared in his outstretched palm.

The knife has a very exaggerated design.

Similar to some kind of ancient weapon.

It is a long-handled knife, heavy and black in texture, and several meters long.

It looks like a type of halberd.

The moment the blade appeared, Oboro's heart skipped a beat.

A feeling he hadn't experienced in many years emerged.

The threat of death!
