Chrollo unleashed Skill Hunter in full, sending countless Nen Abilities sweeping toward Lin Yan on the roof like a furious storm from every direction. Phinks's Ripper Cyclotron whipped up terrifying currents of air, while Nobunaga's intangible En sealed off every escape route. Franklin's Double Machine Gun fired a dense barrage of Nen bullets, Machi's Nen Threads wound toward him without a sound, and Shalnark's Hacker-Style Phone tried to control his movements. Shizuku's Blinky opened its enormous mouth as though to suck everything away, while Bonolenov's Battle Cantabile gathered energy for a lethal strike.
Facing this overwhelming, unpredictable assault, Lin Yan remained standing with his hands behind his back, his white robes snapping in the gale. He did not move. He did not even release any Nen Aura.
"Is this your Skill Hunter?" Lin Yan asked calmly. His voice was quiet, yet every member of the Phantom Troupe heard him clearly. "Nothing special."
His words stirred anger among the Phantom Troupe members.
"Arrogant bastard!" Phinks roared. His Ripper Cyclotron was already upon Lin Yan, the wind pressure it generated powerful enough to tear through steel.
Yet just as Ripper Cyclotron was about to touch Lin Yan's body, an invisible barrier appeared before him. It was not made of Nen Aura, but of condensed, pure Geng Metal Sword Intent, shimmering with an almost imperceptible golden light.
Boom!
Phinks's Ripper Cyclotron struck as though it had hit an impregnable wall and collapsed instantly. The immense recoil jolted his body, forcing him several steps backward before he regained his footing. He stared at Lin Yan in disbelief.
Impossible! Phinks thought. His Ripper Cyclotron could destroy anything, yet now it could not even break through Lin Yan's defenses.
Nobunaga's En also sensed that invisible barrier. His En was an extreme extension of his Nen Aura,
