Chapter 344 Two Choices?

Hisoka is once again faced with a choice.

But he didn't retreat. Holding a playing card between his fingers, he ignored the concerns from behind and charged straight at Moses.

The distance between the two people was rapidly shrinking.

At ten meters, Hisoka suddenly threw the playing card.

Whoosh--!

The playing card, wrapped in Aura, spun at high speed and shot towards Moses.

Moses's eyes, which were filled with Aura, quickly scanned the playing card. Using Gyo, he found nothing detected no abnormalities. He then sidestepped to avoid the card.

The playing card flew past him and turned into an arc, slanting onto the stone slab at the edge of the arena.

Hisoka naturally didn't expect that a playing card could slow down Moses's charge, but at least, it could force Moses to use Gyo to check for threats, thereby slowing down the efficiency of Moses's Aura Mobilization.

Just as Hisoka needed to be wary of Moses's shadow abilities that could activate at any moment, Moses also had to guard against the Bungee Gum that may stick to the playing cards at any time.

This mutual vigilance was sufficient for now.

As the distance between them reached a critical point, Hisoka, like a magician, produced a few more playing cards between his fingers with the flip of his palm.

At this moment, Moses stepped into striking range, leaning slightly forward and swinging his black sword horizontally towards Hisoka.

Hisoka leapt backward to dodge the slash, his eyes reflecting the sharp blade slicing through the air in front of him.

The horizontal slash missed, and Moses immediately flipped his wrist and took a step forward. The black sword turned vertical and slashed towards Hisoka's head.

No matter how many times the slashes missed, as long as he kept pushing Hisoka to turn his back on the shadow's location, he could drive Hisoka further into the quagmire.

However-

In this battle, Moses had no intention of using his shadow clone ability, nor did he plan to use the newly acquired Super Speed Ability, let alone his trump card, the 100-Type Guanyin Bodhisattva: First Hand.

If he played all his cards at once, the battle will definitely come to an end in a very short time.

But if that were the case, how could there be any fun in cutting the leeks?

Faced with Moses' aggressive offensive, Hisoka remained calm, his toes touching the ground as he retreated, dodging Moses' downward slash.

Immediately-

Taking advantage of the distance created by the two evasive maneuvers, Hisoka suddenly crossed his arms inward, hiding his hands holding the playing cards under his armpits, and his entire body instantly tensed like a spring.

At next moment-

Hisoka's body snapped open, and the hands hidden under his armpits swung forward, throwing out the five playing cards between his fingers.

Through this concealed throwing technique, the five playing cards cut through the air at lightning speed, tracing spoon-like arcs as they shot towards Moses from various directions.

However, Moses suddenly accelerated, and when the playing cards were approaching him, he took the initiative and broke through the attack created by the playing cards and came directly in front of Hisoka.

Straight thrust!

Moses drove the black blade straight towards Hisoka's chest.

The timing was perfect—Hisoka had just thrown the cards and had not yet adjusted his posture, making it difficult for him to suddenly exert force to avoid the attack.

But Hisoka was prepared.

When attacking, leaving a fallback plan to mitigate risks was a good combat habit.

Bungee Gum!

At the critical moment, Hisoka activated his ability again.

The sticky threads attached to the back of his neck and the floor behind him suddenly contracted.

The resulting pulling force caused Hisoka's upper body to lean back, and he avoided Moses's black sword in a rather bizarre bridge-like posture.

Then, Hisoka quickly deactivated his ability, and with his hands on the ground, he turned them like a steering wheel, twisting his waist to transfer the force to his legs, which then kicked upwards towards Moses's arm.

Moses didn't expect Hisoka to use Bungee Gum to execute such an unconventional evasive action.

Seeing Hisoka's feet kicking towards him, Moses immediately halted his advance, drew back his sword, turned the blade sideways, and pointed the sharp blade at Hisoka's kicking feet.

But Hisoka seemed to have sensed the threat and quickly adjusted the angle of his kick.

Clang!

Hisoka's adjusted kick struck the flat side of the sword.

Accompanied by a metallic clang, a heavy force was transmitted through the blade, which pushed Moses back several steps.

Seizing the opportunity, Hisoka somersaulted and landed upright, making a pulling gesture with his hand.

A small blob of pink adhesive on the back of his hand extended a line towards the ground ten meters behind Moses.

With the pulling gesture, the contracting force of the adhesive line yanked a stone slab from the ground, hurling it through the air towards Moses's back.

Moses stabilized his stance, and as if he had eyes on the back of his head, without even looking back, he casually swung an Aura Blade behind him.

The stone slab hurled by Hisoka collided with the Aura Blade and instantly split in half, crashing down on either side of the ground.

At this time, Hisoka charged forward, swiftly appearing in front of Moses. The playing card in Hisoka's right hand sliced towards Moses' neck like a sharp blade.

At the same time-

Hisoka's left foot made a semi-circular motion towards the ground.

As he made this movement, a pink sticky thread whipped to the side, and the other end of the sticky thread was stuck to the blade of Moses's black sword.

During the previous upward kick, Hisoka had not only pushed Moses back, but also attached his Bungee Gum to the blade.

'Contract!'

Sticking the Nen Thread on his left foot to the ground, Hisoka instantly activated his ability.

In an instant, the pink sticky thread on the ground suddenly generated a strong pulling force, which pulled the black sword in Moses's hand, and dragged his arm to the side, leaving him wide open.

This seamless chain of attacks created a clear path, allowing Hisoka's playing card to smoothly and swiftly aim for Moses's exposed vital points.

At this moment--

Moses appeared to face two choices in Hisoka's eyes.

Either use the ability to swap positions with the shadow to avoid this Either use the ability to swap positions with the shadow to avoid this highly threatening strike, but the price was to abandon the black sword in his hand.

Or he could follow the pulling force of Bungee Gum and let his body tilt to avoid the attack, thereby temporarily retaining the black sword, but the price was falling into a passive position.

However, Hisoka didn't know that-

Moses had a third option.

Moses, with a composed expression, dismissed the black sword.

In an instant, the black blade dispersed into glittering Nen particles.

'Huh?'

'A conjured sword...!?'

Hisoka's pupils constricted sharply.

As Moses raised his hand, accompanied by a burst of Nen, the black sword appeared in his hand again and he slashed through the playing card aimed at his neck.

The sharp blade light flashed.

The playing card split into two.

The blade's force remained unabated, almost chopping off Hisoka's arm.

Swoosh!

A fountain-like blood spurted out from Hisoka's body!

The result of their battle was laid bare at this moment.
