He could feel it.
That tiny bead was thirsting for blood!
Even the wind across the rooftop seemed to stall as their presences clashed.
Hisoka's aura pressure, thick as a swamp, collided and surged silently against Lin Yan's sword intent, sharp as a divine weapon.
A sense of deathly stillness hung in the air.
"Is that... the little thing you used in the ring?"
Hisoka stared at the Gengjin Sword Pellet, his eyes burning. "It looks pretty ordinary."
Before he finished speaking, he moved.
There was no warning whatsoever.
He simply waved a hand.
"Bungee Gum!"
Countless strands of invisible, supremely sticky Nen aura spread like a spiderweb appearing out of thin air, closing in on Lin Yan from every direction!
This was Hisoka's signature technique.
Once caught, Lin Yan would end up just like Gon had earlier, entirely at Hisoka's mercy.
Facing this invisible attack, Lin Yan did not even blink.
Dodge?
No need.
He merely willed it.
Bzz!
The Gengjin Sword Pellet hovering beside his shoulder became a brilliant streak of reddish-gold light and shot through the air!
That golden streak was blindingly fast.
It charged straight at the vast, invisible net of Nen aura!
Seeing this, Hisoka smiled as though everything was going exactly as expected.
Too naive.
That was what he thought.
My Bungee Gum has both the elasticity of rubber and the stickiness of chewing gum.
It isn't a solid object, but a form of energy.
Conventional physical attacks, whether cutting blades or burning flames, can't do any meaningful damage to it.
No matter how sharp your little metal bead is, once it hits my Nen aura, it'll be stuck fast-and become my trophy.
He could almost see the golden bead wrapped in layer upon layer of his purple Nen aura, unable to move.
But
