Chapter 131: The Evil God?
The members of the evil god cult generally had a combat power equivalent to that of a Chunin. For the three youngsters, who had received prior information from Yue Yan, it was quite easy to deal with them.
Shisui held a Tantō in his hand. He used the Body Flicker Technique to rush forward while simultaneously casting illusion and Clone Jutsu to confuse the enemies.
When the evil god cult members attacked the clones, Shisui took advantage of this moment and coated his Tantō with Fire Releasechakra. With two consecutive strikes, he chopped off the heads of two cult members.
Looking at the motionless cult members who seemed to be dead, Shisui couldn't help but frown. This was different from what Yue Yan had said before. Weren't they supposed to be alive even if they only had a head left?
Although he was very confused, Shisui still remembered what Yue Yan had said. To be on the safe side, Shisui created two kage clones. One on the left and the other on the right, they hacked the two enemies into eight pieces. In this way, even if they had been pretending to be dead before, there was no need to worry about any tricks.
On the other side, Itachi and Hayate Gekkō were also very fast. Basically, they just swung their blades three times.
If we had to say who was the most powerful, it would be Xiaolan. Under the perception of Aura Power, the members of the evil god cult couldn't even touch Xiaolan. Then Xiaolan would always find a sneaky angle to bash their skulls in with a bone club.
On Zabuza's end, after Haku bandaged his wounds, he was helped to the building where Yue Yan was sitting.
Although Zabuza and Haku had many Mondai to ask, seeing Yue Yan in deep thought, they didn't interrupt him.
From Yue Yan's perspective, each member of the evil god cult was wrapped in a purplish - black energy that ordinary people couldn't see. The nature of this energy was very special, making these people exist in a state between the living and the dead.
Based on Yue Yan's observation of the previous battle, the thicker this energy was on a person, the stronger their immortal body was. However, it was far from reaching the level of Hidan in the original work.
Hidan could indeed remain alive even after being dismembered, while these people would die after their heads were chopped off.
"Quite an interesting ability. I'd like to see what this so - called evil god is all about," Yue Yan murmured to himself.
Looking at Xiaolan, Yue Yan said, "Xiaolan, leave one of them alive. I'll see if I can find the source."
Hearing this, Xiaolan silently nodded. Then, grabbing a bone club in each paw, she rushed towards the last member of the evil god cult.
Although most of the members of the evil god cult were crazy, there were still a few who were afraid of death. And Xiaolan's target was one of them.
When he saw his comrades dying one by one, he didn't care about anything and just ran away.
However, with a whistling sound of a bone club cutting through the air, a bone club thrown spinning by Xiaolan broke his leg bones.
Looking at the cult member who had fallen to the ground, there was no trace of pity in Xiaolan's eyes. She raised the other bone club and smashed the bones of his hands and feet.
After Xiaolan finished all these actions, she grabbed the leg of this evil god cult member and dragged him to Yue Yan.
Hearing the moans that sounded like both pain and pleasure constantly in their ears, everyone present had black lines on their foreheads.
"I don't know if it's just my illusion, but I always feel these guys are a bit nuts."
Hearing Hayate Gekkō's complaint, the others also nodded in agreement.
Yue Yan came in front of this evil god cult member and raised his hand to gather a layer of gray death qi.
From the perspective only Yue Yan could see, the gray death qi instantly clung to the purple - black energy and began to devour it.
After the gray death qi had devoured most of the purple - black energy, it seemed to have discovered something and floated around as if looking for the source of this purple - black energy.
However, just at this moment, the energy attached to this evil god cult member suddenly dissipated and disappeared without a trace.
And in Yue Yan's mind, a voice appeared.
"Damn bastard, don't let me find you, or the great evil god will surely devour your soul entirely."
The voice was neither clearly male nor female, old nor young. It was more like a mix of a beast's and a human's voice.
Hearing this threatening words with quite a lack of confidence, Yue Yan disdainfully curled his lips. The owner of that voice was either the evil god or one of the high - ups of the evil god cult.
However, it doesn't matter anymore. It's okay if they don't meet. But if they do, Yue Yan will kill them all and scatter their ashes.
Seeing that everything was settled, Zabuza planned to let Haku support him and leave.
Seeing this, Yue Yan stopped him.
"Something up?"
"Hey, we're at least friends after all this. Let's find a place to have a chat and by the way, I can help you with your injuries."
Hearing this, Zabuza rolled his eyes in annoyance. If it weren't for Yue Yan's words that distracted him at that time, he wouldn't have let those members of the evil god cult get his blood to perform that jutsu. He wouldn't have been injured either.
Although he thought so, Zabuza didn't refuse. After all, if the Golden Thunder Beast in the ninja world wanted to kill him, there was no need for such trouble, especially when he was a missing - nin.
Yue Yan took Zabuza and the others back to the previous inn. When Yue Yan was treating Zabuza, Haku sensibly poured a glass of water for everyone.
"No wonder Haku is getting more and more beautiful."
Hearing Yue Yan's praise, Haku gave a gentle smile.
"Thank you for your praise, Lord Yue Yan."
Hearing this, Zabuza, who had just moved his body after being treated, couldn't help but frown.
"You know Haku? How did you get to know each other?"
Although Zabuza's tone was normal, for some reason related to the original story, Yue Yan always felt there was a strong hint of jealousy in his words.
"Mr. Zabuza, it's like this."
Haku and Zabuza briefly told Yue Yan how they got to know each other. After listening, Zabuza seemed to let out a sigh of relief and looked at Yue Yan.
"What do you want from me? It can't be just for a catch - up, right?"
Hearing this, Yue Yan shrugged and took a sip of water.
"I heard before that you failed to assassinate the Fourth Mizukage and became a missing - nin."
Yue Yan's gaze fell on the Forehead Protector Zabuza was wearing. Normally, a missing - nin would use a Kunai to scratch a mark on the emblem of their village's Forehead Protector to show their identity, but the one Zabuza was wearing didn't have such a mark.
Noticing Yue Yan's gaze on his Forehead Protector, Zabuza let out a cold snort.
"Although I attempted to assassinate the Fourth Mizukage and was listed as a missing - nin by the village, it doesn't mean I'm really one."
Hearing this, the three youngsters behind Yue Yan blinked their eyes, seemingly not understanding.
"Heh, I didn't expect that the great Demon Man still has his heart towards his own village even after being listed as a missing - nin."
"Are you mocking me?"
Zabuza narrowed his eyes. Although he couldn't beat Yue Yan, he wouldn't mind splashing him with blood.
"No no no, you've got the wrong idea." Yue Yan shrugged and continued, "You should have noticed the abnormality of the Fourth Mizukage. It's as if he's being controlled by someone."
