"Ugh... What's going on? The moment I step in, it feels like a thousand-pound stone is pressing down on me!"
Hidan felt confused and stepped back. As soon as he exited the range of the gravity field, that overwhelming pressure disappeared instantly!
Huh?
Is this a Kekkei Genkai?
Hidan murmured to himself, a sense of caution rising within him.
He even began to hesitate, unsure whether to enter the field.
Ah~~ Ah~~~
But just as he hesitated, the sound of anguished screams echoed from nearby. The location was about three hundred meters from the Jashin Cult's cave, and Hidan could clearly see what was happening there.
Two people were ruthlessly slaughtering the lives of the sect's followers. The scent of blood was so thick that even from here, he could smell it. His brow furrowed involuntarily.
These... these people are going too far!
To dare kill Jashin Cult's followers right at their doorstep, he couldn't stand for this. These people must die. They must die to quell Jashin-sama's wrath!
With that thought,
Hidan seemed to have made up his mind. He stepped forward and directly entered the range of the gravity field.
He was confident!
With his immortal body, even in such a disadvantageous situation, he could remain calm. After all, he knew... he was immortal.
No one could kill him!
That was Hidan's confidence, which allowed him to step into this gravity field!
After walking a few steps into the field, he smelled an even stronger scent of blood. The field's unique nature caused the blood energy to stagnate in this space!
Hidan's expression darkened.
He quickened his pace, and with the terrifying gravity pressing down on him, he reached the center of the battlefield in just a few breaths.
There, he saw the Jashin Cult's followers lying on the ground, barely alive. Almost all of the sect's elites were sprawled on the floor!
Even Red-clad cultist was lying on the ground, on the verge of death, unable to get up or struggle.
"Boss, what's going on here?" After observing the situation around him, he finally locked his gaze on the only red-clad cultist still standing in place. "Who are they, and why are they attacking my Jashin Cult?"
"Hidan, you shouldn't have come!" The red-clad leader saw Hidan and let out a bitter laugh. His eyes were filled with despair.
"Hurry up and leave here. You're the purest follower of Jashin Cult. Don't stay here. Quickly, leave!"
Since witnessing Genya's methods, the red-clad cultist had already started to break down.
None of the people here were a match for the masked man in front of them. It was he who had ruined the legacy of Jashin Cult.
He was simply terrifying.
This ninja, wearing a monkey mask, was a natural enemy of their Jashin Cult. His Black Flame could devour the cultists' curses, and his Cube Ninjutsu could erase anyone's existence in an instant, leaving no trace behind.
This kind of ninjutsu was something that not even their imperfect, immortal bodies could withstand. Even Hidan couldn't take it!
Hidan's immortality still required some remaining flesh. Even if his limbs were severed and not reattached, it would take a long time for them to regenerate!
When facing Dust Release, if trapped within it, they would be completely defenseless!
"Boss, what are you talking about? You're the one who sent a distress signal asking for my help, and now you're saying this nonsense!" Hidan snorted upon hearing the red-clad cultist's words. "Since I've come, I'll make these people pay!"
With that, Hidan's eyes flashed with coldness. He swung his scythe directly at Genya, who was closest to him. The long chain attached to it rattled loudly!
This strike was aimed at Genya's throat!
However, Genya stood still, not moving, his gaze fixed on the three-bladed scythe flying toward him.
Bang~~
But as the scythe approached him, it was suddenly deflected by an invisible force!
The blade was hurled back towards Hidan!
"Huh? My weapon's coming back at me?" Hidan was momentarily stunned. He quickly moved to catch the long handle of the scythe that was flying back towards him.
But when he confidently reached out to grab it, he missed. The scythe brushed past his fingertips, continuing on its path.
Did I… mess up?
Hidan was taken aback. This had never happened before. This… must be because of the area. It's messing with my judgment.
This damn special field.
"You must be Hidan. It's a bad habit of yours to attack the moment you see someone!" Genya looked at the still-confused Hidan and spoke slowly. "We haven't even had a proper conversation yet!"
"Tch, talk? You dare to attack a member of the Jashin Cult? Then you better be prepared for the consequences!" Hidan pulled the chained scythe back and pointed it straight at Genya. "Today... I'll kill you all!"
Hidan's posture was domineering, the blade of the scythe gleaming coldly.
"Kill us? Then let me see your strength!" At this point, Shisui had already taken care of most of the enemies. At Genya's command, he had restrained the red-clad enemies who were no longer capable of fighting. But Hidan's arrival interrupted his task.
So, he handed the difficult job over to Jiraiya and moved forward to face Hidan.
"Hidan's pretty strong. Be careful!" the leader of the red-clad cultist warned.
His intention was to have Hidan leave quickly, to preserve the perfect immortal legacy of the Jashin Cult. But Hidan was stubborn and still wanted to take on all three of them?
Hidan had no idea how terrifying these three were. If he had witnessed them slaughtering the Jashin Cult's members, he wouldn't be so confident.
While the Jashin Cult's followers might not be a match for Hidan individually, if they all attacked at once, Hidan would definitely be outmatched.
"Hidan, if you stay here any longer, you're really going to die!" the leader of the red-clad cultist shouted again.
"Shut up!" Hidan angrily glared at the leader of the red-robed cultists, then continued, "Watch how I capture these three and make them apologize to Lord Jashin!"
With that said,
Hidan shouted and swung his wrist. The scythe, along with the chain, rushed toward Shisui!
Immediately after,
Hidan's figure followed quickly, aiming to engage Shisui in battle!
Hidan knew how powerful Shisui and the others were, so he used a desperate approach right from the start, intending to deal a fatal blow. Even if it wasn't deadly, he could still take some of Shisui's blood to perform his curse technique!
One has to admit, Hidan was pretty strong. Plus, by using such a life-risking strategy, after getting hit four times, his scythe finally slashed through Shisui's arm!
It drew a bit of blood!
"Hehe, your blood is mine now. Prepare for Lord Jashin's judgment!" Hidan grinned cruelly. Although he was being pressured by Shisui, he knew that once he found the right moment, he could deliver a deadly blow!
In other words,
He had countless chances, but if the opponent slipped up just once, it would be over for them!
While murmuring to himself, he started drawing the curse symbols on the ground with his foot. But he didn't notice that as he began the ritual, black flames were already spreading around his feet!
