That said, it doesn't mean it's impossible. I mean, if Hisoka is to survive at this point, it's almost guaranteed that it will be the result of some deus ex machina factor -- a new ability from Hisoka we haven't seen before, some trap that Hisoka set during the fight that wasn't shown, a change of heart from Chrollo, or a third party who intervenes.
The good thing about HxH is that Togashi rarely employs deus ex machina sloppily. There are always major consequences, or at least well-conceived explanations. For example, Gon's miraculous defeat of Pitou required an entire arc to resolve. In any other shonen, that power-up would've cost him absolutely nothing.
If there is some third party who comes to the rescue, my guess is... Gon! Why?
Gon has a decent rapport with both Chrollo and Hisoka. He's also extremely charismatic and effective at causing people to have a change of heart. If anyone is in a position to convince Chrollo to spare Hisoka, it's Gon. Furthermore, he probably likes Hisoka, because Hisoka has helped him out several times in the past and taught him a lot about fighting, so he has every motivation to save him. On top of that, we know that Gon knows about Heaven's Arena, and is good enough by now to be a floor master himself. Finally, we haven't seen Gon in quite a while, and what more dramatic way would there be to bring him back into the picture?
My second guess would be someone from the Dark Continent arc. Perhaps one (or two) of the princes seeking body guards would want to recruit Chrollo and/or Hisoka? I could see both of these characters wanting to visit the Dark Continent, Hisoka for the challenge and Chrollo for the treasures.
That said, this is all pure speculation...

I think Hisoka will live!
1st: The author made the storyline so inclined to Hisoka ultimately fighting Gon, i mean it is his choice to change the storyline whenever, but given the preexposed hints and whatnot, I believe Hisoka will live somehow.
2nd: As for his torn off hand and leg, I think if anything, since Machi favours and follows Chrollo, she will definitely NOT cure him with her needles (but i believe his limbs were exploded anyways)
3rd: I think if anything this would be how the author would bring Hisoka back with Killua/Gon, where he would eventually get Alluka to heal him again, thus bringing the three back together. Nah Killua will not use Alluka for Hisoka he will only do that for Gon no one else she's too dangerous

I completely forgot about that.That pretty much sum up how little interest I have in this drag out uninteresting fight. My point still stands though, the series is visually PG 13 at best.
And also with that realization, this fight is even less interesting, the tone itself in this fight is now PG 13 at best. Lol
I don't really care about your opinion on the fight, I was just trying to explain to you why there is no blood. Also another tip, age doesn't have to do anything with something being good or bad.

Damn, this fight really dragging. Hisoka taking a loss at his leg as well...
Dragging? Really? C'mon now. It's only been like 3-4 chapters. That hardly qualifies as "dragging."
Different perspectives, not many people are able to keep up with the powers, so they're reading through something alien. I can understand them being overwhelmed.
This is why you go back and reread chapters.
No time, and it might not help them. I mean I'm pretty sure many here have no idea what happened during the DC build-up and decided to skip it altogether, may not be surprised if they did the same with this fight.
then they have no rights to complain
They do. Each fan has his own expectation of the fight, and some don't like how this fight being psychological or bizarre and prefer a more direct face-to-face brawl.
