The stage scaffolding collapsed, and most of the large lights were destroyed, resulting in limited lighting in the theater.
With his plan failing, Saiyu calmed his mind and did not summon the ear Nen Monkey from the second-floor VIP balcony, suddenly attacking Luo.
Although the micro bomb didn’t hurt Luo, it also didn’t harm the kid. So before Luo could move the kid, Saiyu had to seize the opportunity to attack.
"To ensure Killua’s safety, we must focus on defense before Black Cat arrives. Also, the other gun-wielding Nen Beast is nowhere to be seen."
Seeing Saiyu attacking directly, Luo remained standing still, intending to respond to changes without changing his stance. He also noticed that the Nen Beast on the VIP balcony had disappeared.
Saiyu sprinted a short distance, kicking up eight chairs scattered around, sending them flying toward Luo.
"A usual trick."
Luo’s expression remained calm as he flicked his hand eight times in the air, and marble-sized Nen balls knocked down the incoming chairs mid-air.
By this time, Saiyu had already sprinted to the bottom of the stage. Luo slightly lowered his head, coldly watching Saiyu without attacking, taking a purely defensive stance.
Suddenly, Saiyu raised his hand, pulling out a silver handgun from who knows where, and immediately emptied the magazine.
Accompanied by deafening gunshots and a burst of fire, seven bullets flew precisely towards Luo’s vital points across a distance of less than ten meters.
At such a close range, Luo activated his Domain, stopping the seven rapidly spinning bullets. After removing the bullets' momentum, he almost simultaneously withdrew his Domain, as Saiyu had already circled behind him.
Using modern firearms can sometimes be more effective than dispersing attention with emitted Nen bullets because a handgun only requires pulling the trigger without affecting the distribution of Nen on the body. Moreover, as long as a large-caliber handgun is chosen, the power is guaranteed.
Saiyu first closed the distance, forcing Luo to use Nen abilities for defense with close-range gunfire. Then, he circled behind, creating the best attack opportunity.
Luo wouldn’t be so easily caught. While blocking the bullets, he predicted Saiyu’s next move and swiftly withdrew his Domain.
Instantly!
Luo, holding Killua, suddenly teleported thirty meters forward to the chaotic audience seats.
"A teleportation ability of the Emitter type."
Saiyu swung his hand in vain, his eyes narrowing slightly as he looked at Luo, who had teleported to the audience seats, and silently discarded the empty handgun magazine.
From shooting to the sneak attack from behind, he didn’t even have time to drop the gun, truly putting all his effort into relocating. However, Luo’s quick response thwarted his sneak attack, not even harming the kid.
In a round of confrontation, both sides switched positions.
At this moment, Saiyu hadn’t realized that Luo was a step ahead in rhythm. If Luo hadn’t prioritized Killua’s safety, he could have counterattacked instead of avoiding it.
"With Killua’s body strength, even a gust of wind could injure his internal organs. Black Cat will arrive in about ten seconds. Until then, I must keep my distance."
Luo crouched down, pressing his hand on the ground. With a muffled thud, hundreds of seats around him were lifted into the air.
Without rising, Luo kept his hand on the ground, his gaze piercing through the gaps between the chairs, landing on the expressionless Saiyu.
His Nen Circle burst out, scattering Nen power onto the airborne chairs, like lighting nearly a hundred stars with a single finger in a second.
Conductor’s Baton!
Hundreds of chairs in mid-air formed a tornado shape, striking towards Saiyu on the stage.
"Compressing the range to increase single-target power, but also making it easier to dodge."
Saiyu snorted, moving sideways to the right, easily avoiding the swirling chair tornado. However, just as he dodged, the chair tornado suddenly dispersed.
"Mixing Manipulator abilities into the Emission type, the power is likely limited, no need to pay attention."
Saiyu quickly judged and decided not to dodge the scattered chairs, instead activating Ken and charging towards Luo, who was crouching thirty meters away.
Bang bang bang!
The chairs crashed beside Saiyu, not even affecting his posture or speed.
"Correct judgment and decision."
Watching this, Luo thought silently.
Saiyu broke through the chair obstacle, leaping from the stage, covering thirty meters in an instant, descending with a forceful attack towards Luo.
Seeing this, Luo quickly stood up, leaping backward to widen the distance again.
Saiyu's attack missed as he descended from the sky. He looked up at Luo, mocking, "All you do is run, scum."
Luo ignored Saiyu’s taunts. After retreating and standing firm, he raised his free arm, making a gun gesture, aiming upward. His index finger began gathering Nen.
This inexplicable action made Saiyu wary. The next second, his expression changed as a shockwave suddenly generated under his feet, pushing him into the air unprepared.
"Is it In? No, it’s God’s Hand! He can also use God’s Hand!"
Saiyu, unaware of any anomalies, was pushed into the air, his heart pounding as he looked at Luo. He saw that Luo’s index finger had already formed a marble-sized Nen ball.
This shockwave posed no threat to Nen users, but if they didn’t deliberately concentrate some Nen at their feet to increase traction, they would be pushed into the air and lose balance.
Luo aimed at Saiyu’s heart. At this moment, a click sounded, and all the lighting equipment above the audience seats suddenly turned on, illuminating the entire theater.
Saiyu was above, Luo below. The sudden light only affected Luo’s eyes.
As his eyes were blinded by the light, Luo decisively fired the fully compressed Nen bullet at Saiyu in mid-air.
The light appeared too suddenly, causing Luo’s aim to deviate.
"What perfect timing!"
Saiyu’s tense heart relaxed at this moment.
Leaving only the stage lights on earlier was to enhance the concealment of God’s Hand. Before the fight, he ordered the ear Nen Monkey to turn on the lights, enhancing the effect of another trump card. Unexpectedly, this measure saved him at the critical moment.
"Even if the trajectory isn’t hitting a vital point, I must use Ken for defense."
Saiyu’s thoughts raced. Judging that the Nen bullet would hit his right abdomen, he immediately concentrated Nen on his right abdomen.
"Oh? A skilled Ryu."
Luo murmured, but the Nen bullet showed no mercy, piercing through Ken and Saiyu’s right abdomen.
"Impossible!"
Saiyu’s expression shook.
