The Protagonist's Career Starting From Hunter

"Is it him?!"

Seeing the figure that shattered the ground, Machi's pupils contracted, a trace of astonishment appeared on her face, and her heart became uncertain.

"Machi, nice to meet you. My name is Bailang. If you don't mind, let's be friends!"

Looking at Machi who was approaching, Bailang casually waved away the dust that was stirred up, revealing a self-perceived friendly and handsome smile.

Machi: "...."

She looked at Bailang warily.

Bailang's appearance undoubtedly made her understand why her sixth sense had such a suppressed feeling.

She also knew who was targeting her.

But...

"I don't think I know you, why are you chasing after me?" Machi said coldly.

Bailang smiled and said, "Didn't I say '500' just now? I want to be friends with Miss Machi."

"Do you think I would believe that?" Machi sneered, while preparing for battle.

Regardless of the other party's intentions for approaching her, it was definitely not good.

Although she was extremely wary of the opponent's strength after witnessing their fight with Hisoka, it didn't mean she would surrender.

"Alright, let me rephrase it. I have taken a liking to you, so I am prepared to dig you out of the Phantom Troupe and have you join my team!" Bailang's smile did not diminish, indicating his intentions.

Machi's heart sank.

Although she had anticipated that the other party might know her true identity when they called her by name, she couldn't help but be more cautious when the Phantom Troupe was mentioned explicitly.

As for the other party's recruitment, she naturally couldn't agree.

"It's impossible. Even if you kill me, I will never leave the Troupe!"

Machi said decisively.

Then, she stared at Bailang intently and continued, "Since you know that I am a member of the Phantom Troupe, you should also be aware of how formidable we are. Maybe I am not your match, but once you make a move against me, it means you are going against our Troupe. Are you sure you can withstand the retaliation from our Troupe?"

If it were someone else, Machi wouldn't have said so much and would have already taken action.

But Bailang was different.

In the previous match with Hisoka, Bailang had shown an unimaginable strength, leaving Machi with no chance of winning.

Therefore, when rejecting Bailang's invitation, she had to try to intimidate him with the Troupe.

The intimidation from the Phantom Troupe was naturally useless against Bailang.

"If the members of your Troupe want to die, I don't mind cleaning up a few more." Bailang smiled faintly.

Clang!

The sound of a sword resonated. Not far away, the jet-black heavy sword that had created a deep pit in the ground turned into a streak of sword light and instantly appeared behind Machi, pointing its tip towards her.

"If you want to resist, then resist to your heart's content. If you can escape from my hands, then you have the ability." Bailang took a step forward, lightly laughing as he walked towards her.

His gaze immediately became sharp.

The aura that had already transformed from "entangle" to "firm" also quickly flowed.

Swish!

The intimidation failed, and now it could only be settled with strength.

Seeing Bailang approaching, Machi divided her attention, keeping an eye on the jet-black heavy sword behind her, and decisively rushed towards Bailang.

Capture the ringleader first.

The danger of the Xuantie Heavy Sword is immense, but compared to getting entangled with the Xuantie Heavy Sword, undoubtedly the best method to resolve the battle is to directly attack Bailang.

With incredible speed, Machi's figure once again turned into an afterimage, almost in the blink of an eye, rushing towards Bailang. Then, her right hand transformed into a knife hand, fiercely stabbing towards Bailang's chest.

Hmm... mainly because Machi's height is less than 1.6 meters.

Compared to Bailang, who is close to 1.9 meters, it is difficult for her to attack the more vulnerable and lethal throat, so she can only choose the heart as a secondary target.

"Using the attack of the knife hand as a cover, hiding a cold trick..."

Machi's knife hand attack is fierce, but Bailang has discerned her true intention.

Because he noticed that within her knife hand, there is an invisible Nen thread extending from her thumb.

This Nen thread is the product of her Nen ability, "Nen Stitching."

If one only pays attention to the knife hand attack, it is very likely that they will be entangled by the Nen thread in the next move...

He lifted his foot and kicked.

Machi's speed is indeed fast, but Bailang is faster.

When he keenly noticed the Nen thread descending from her hand, Bailang's expression remained unchanged as he directly kicked towards her.

"So fast, no time to dodge!!"

Machi's perception is quite outstanding, and she caught Bailang's attack, causing her expression to change drastically.

However, Bailang's attack speed was too fast, making it impossible for her body to keep up with her reaction, so she could only gather more aura towards her abdomen using "Flow."

!!!

With a fierce impact, Bailang's right foot solidly kicked Machi's abdomen.

In an instant, feeling the intense pain, Machi let out a muffled groan and flew backward.

Whoosh! Boom!!

Before her body could fly far, the Xuantie Heavy Sword, which was hovering on the other side, immediately shot towards her, like a baseball bat, striking heavily on Machi's back.

"Ah!!!"

Machi, who had originally wanted to suppress her scream, couldn't help but let out a scream under the second wave of attacks, and flew back towards Bailang.

He reached out and grabbed.

Bailang accurately caught the flying Machi, well... if you consider grabbing her neck as catching.

Both feet were off the ground.

With Machi's neck caught, her screams immediately ceased.

The Nen threads danced.

It can only be said that the members of the Phantom Troupe are indeed quite skilled.

Even though she was seriously injured, Machi, while being held by the neck, still didn't forget to counterattack.

I saw her hands swiftly manipulating the Nen threads while extending them, entwining several loops around Bailang's body like a noose.

She pulled with force.

Machi stared fiercely at Bailang, tightening the Nen threads.

Creak!!!

If it were an ordinary person, under the tightening Nen threads, not only would their body be cut open, but they would also undoubtedly be bound hand and foot.

But when it comes to Bailang, the tightened Nen threads not only failed to cause him any damage, but they didn't even make him flinch.
