Hunter x Hunter: My Nen Beast is Strong

Chapter 47 The Shadow Beast

On the other side, Eligi and his group chased after them at an astonishing speed, leaving afterimages of the houses along the street as they sped past.

In just one minute, they had already rushed to the entrance of the town.

Residents along the way cast astonished glances at them.

The reason was that the way this group of people ran was too strange—their posture completely violated the common sense of running and gave off an indescribable sense of incongruity.

Several children watching from the roadside were eager to try it themselves, and even tried to imitate them by taking steps. I just hope that these children will be careful with their feet so that they don't stumble and fall to the ground.

At the town entrance, Ailiji had already led his men to intercept the group causing trouble ahead. But when he saw the leader, Aina, and the other three, a look of doubt appeared on his face.

"The Yin Beasts under the command of the Ten Elders? Why are you attacking us?" Eligi asked.

The physical characteristics of the Yin Beasts were already highly distinctive, so it wasn't surprising that Eligi recognized them at a glance.

Aina was surprised that Eligi could identify her so easily. Before she could speak, the sick dog beside her stepped forward, a cold smile playing on its lips: "Perfect timing! Hand over what you stole, and maybe we'll spare your life!"

"Idiot!" Aina cursed inwardly. Now look what happened; what could have been an easy way to get her hands on the item...

But the Yin Beasts chose the most troublesome method.

"Oh? I didn't expect that the gangsters would also have their eyes on what I have." Eligi really didn't expect that now, the two largest underground dark forces in the Hunter world were both eyeing him.

It seems that from now on, Ailiji can only follow the right path!

The good news is that the two forces are competitors.

"Hehehe, how about it, kid? Are you going to hand it over yourself, or will we do it ourselves?" The sick dog walked out with his hands in his pockets. Although he looked sickly, his attitude was extremely arrogant.

Ailiji glanced at the sick dog and could sense from a distance that the dog exuded an aura no weaker than his own, indicating that it was quite powerful.

The "no weaker than Eligi's" aura mentioned here refers to the manifest aura, not the potential total aura.

The potential total amount of energy is generally difficult to see with the naked eye; what the naked eye can usually see is the apparent amount of energy.

"Do you think my companions aren't here?" Eligi asked, his face full of doubt. Hinata, Shino, Kiba, Hidan, and Sasori were with him.

With six against four, it's clear that they have the advantage. Moreover, in terms of momentum, Ailiji's side is not weak at all. I don't understand where the sick dog got the confidence to take on six people at once.

"Companion? Heh heh heh, then let's deal with your companion first." The sick dog had been holding back for too long.

With a "whoosh," he vanished, leaving only a faint afterimage. The next moment, he appeared beside Scorpion and bit down on his shoulder.

The sick dog's teeth, enhanced by its spiritual energy, were sharper than a steel blade, and it bit off a piece of the scorpion's shoulder in one bite.

But when the sick dog bit off the object, it paused, "Wood?"

That's right, the sick dog didn't bite into flesh and blood, but only wood shavings from Hiruko.

In that brief moment of stunned silence, a metal hook, like a scorpion's tail, pierced the sick dog's chest, cleanly and efficiently ending its life.

"How...how is this possible?" The sick dog looked down at his chest in disbelief, unable to believe that he had been killed so easily, even in death.

Eligi was also somewhat surprised when he saw it. He didn't expect that the Yin Beast would be so easily killed by the Scorpion. It was a completely crushing victory.

It should be noted that the sick dog had just reacted to the scorpion's attack and had already gathered its energy in its chest, but it was still easily pierced by the scorpion's tail.

It is clear that the two sides are not even on the same level in terms of the energy they can mobilize.

The scorpion flicked its tail, tossing the sick dog to the ground like it was throwing away trash.

Aina's face darkened when she saw this, but she still took a step forward, threw the sick dog back to the leech, and said, "Treat this guy."

After hearing this, the leech chuckled twice, then stepped forward, lay down, and stuck out its tongue to insert a large number of wriggling white worms into the wound of the sick dog.

Those white worms looked like maggots in rotting flesh; they were nauseating to look at.

Unable to bear it any longer, Eliji clasped his hands together, then made a small opening with one hand and placed it near his mouth, gathering his inner energy: "Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique".

Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique is an offensive ninjutsu borrowed from Kakashi.

Even the Sandstorm Technique requires Gaara to be used, so for now, I can only use Fire Release ninjutsu.

Just then, a fireball as tall as an adult flew towards the leech, and the porcupine standing nearby didn't dare to stand in its way.

The porcupine is a bald elementary school student-like person who can control all his fur to extend freely and block all physical attacks.

However, porcupines cannot block non-physical attacks like the Fireball Technique.

It can be considered a weakness of the porcupine itself!

The leech saw the intense heat emanating from the incoming fireball and hurriedly dodged it. In the end, the fireball exploded upon contact with the sick dog, generating intense heat that instantly set the dog ablaze.

"Ah! It's hot, save me!" the sick dog cried weakly, but unfortunately, no one on the field could save him.

Seeing the sick dog burned alive, Aina's face turned grim, and she stared at Eligi with a hint of resentment: "Are you Meteor City trying to start a war with us Ten Elders?"

After hearing this, Ailiji was full of question marks, not quite understanding the woman's way of thinking, how could she classify him as belonging to Meteor City.

"I don't know what nonsense you're spouting. You should consider your own situation." Eligi had no intention of letting these troublemakers off the hook.

After hearing this, Aina couldn't help but laugh in anger, and she calmed down and said, "What, you know we are Yin Beasts, so you want to get rid of us all? Aren't you afraid that your lover, relatives, friends, and parents will suffer trouble because of this?"

It was a very classic gangster threat. Ailiji was stunned for a moment, and then he thought carefully and realized that he didn't seem to have any relatives or parents.

It's perfectly normal that most people in Meteor City are orphans.

As for friends, it seems that Eriji only knows Killua and his group, so I guess he can be considered a friend.

Now there were no more concerns, because at this moment, Eligi was invincible and would not accept any threats.

"Hmm, I've thought about it seriously, and it seems like I don't have any of the things you mentioned! What a pity!" After saying that, Eligi revealed a row of snow-white teeth.

Sasori then stepped forward from behind and said, "You talk as much nonsense as Hidan."

After saying that, the scorpion's figure disappeared and reappeared behind Aina, its tail stabbing directly at her chest.

"So fast!" Aina could only feel the deadly threat behind her. She made a slight movement to dodge the fatal blow, but the tail spike of the Hiruko had already pierced through her shoulder.

"Ah! How could Sasori-senpai steal the offerings of the evil god!" Hidan exclaimed as he joined the battle.
