If it were an enemy or an unrelated person, it would be understandable. But these believers worshipped him so much, even to the point of reverence. Yet, this is the outcome they received, which is truly hard to accept.
“The term ‘captive’ is inappropriate,” the young man in the straw hat said, shrugging. “I think ‘cooperation’ is a better word. They gave up their lives and souls. And our God rewarded them with eternal peace.”
"This is truly a fair collaboration," Wuyue sneered.
Damn, he'd seen plenty of shameless people, but never anyone this shameless. To openly treat people like pigs—a mutually beneficial arrangement—how utterly shameless could they be? Are all so-called clergy this thick-skinned?
"Konoha Celestial Dragon, I admire your actions. And, as one of the lucky ones who witnessed this, I can give you a chance." The young man in the straw hat showed no embarrassment or awkwardness, maintaining his professional smile. "As long as you and your companions swear allegiance to my god, I can promise you a position no less than mine."
Ha ha.
Wu Yue's lips curled into a mocking smile. She was about to refuse with cold words when a system notification suddenly sounded in her mind.
Make your choice, dear host.
First, I agree, but I want to be the father of your evil god.
Second, I refuse, because your butt isn't round enough.
Third, before that, let me see if your gold is strong enough.
Tsk.
Smacking her lips, Wuyue didn't comment on or complain about the mission this time, but simply rubbed her face lightly. "Okay, I agree. But I want to be your evil god's father. Is that alright?"
"Congratulations, host, for completing the selection. Reward: Bloodline Evolution Fluid. All cultivation levels will increase by fifty days, while the dragon race's growth cycle is five years."
Pfft. Here we go again, here we go again...
The first half of his sentence startled the women present. The second half nearly made them spit out their soda. This guy, he's up to his old tricks again. Come on, could you please be more considerate of the occasion?
Even they were stunned by Wuyue's words, let alone the young man in the straw hat who was at the forefront. Even the most good-tempered among them were now filled with anger, their eyes turning icy cold. "So, you intend to be our enemy?" Before the words had even finished, the cultists within a radius of several dozen meters had already surrounded them. A battle was imminent.
328 Terrifying Power
"Hmm? Enemies?" Wuyue blinked, her gaze sweeping over the group of cultists opposite her. "Your words seem rather strange. You think you're worthy of being my enemies?" As soon as she finished speaking, she stomped her foot heavily on the ground.
Boom!
A huge explosion was heard.
In an instant, a crater more than two meters in diameter appeared on the ground, with spiderweb-like cracks crisscrossing around it. Then, an incomparably powerful impact rolled towards the opposite side.
Knock knock knock knock.
Under this terrifying impact, the front-row cultists were utterly unable to resist. Their feet left the ground, and they were all sent flying backward.
Before their bodies even hit the ground, Wuyue had already raised her hands and quickly formed hand seals. A wide, fan-shaped flame burst forth.
Fire Release: Great Fire Annihilation!
The crimson flames surged forth like a tidal wave, crashing down on the opposite side. Everyone around felt a wave of scorching heat wash over them.
"Ah ah ah ah..."
Meanwhile, the cultists on the other side who were hit by this move were charred to death amidst screams, and fell to the ground.
Glug, glug.
In the past, if a human were to suffer this level of injury, death would be certain! However, right before Wuyue's eyes, the four cultists who had been standing next to the young man in the straw hat stood up again as if nothing had happened.
No, it's not fair to say they were unharmed. These guys were charred beyond recognition. You could even see their exposed, blackened bones. But what would be fatal injuries to an ordinary person didn't hinder their movements at all. Like evil spirits crawling out of the abyss, they roared and charged towards Wuyue.
"Is this what immortality is?" With a slight smirk, Wuyue raised her fist and threw a punch.
Dragon Fist!
Bang.
The immense explosive force created a powerful sonic boom in mid-air. The illusory fist materialized and charged towards the cultists with a speed imperceptible to the naked eye.
°::。 ≯
Boom!
A deafening thud.
{卜
The four cult members were like plastic bottles struck by a massive sledgehammer. In an instant, they lost hands or feet, their bodies shattered and scattered across the ground. Yet, even in this state, their scattered torsos could still move independently, making the whole scene exceptionally eerie.
"These guys are unkillable?" Rina was stunned by what she saw. This bizarre situation sent chills down her spine.
"They...they are really still human?" Saori asked in disbelief. Such vitality completely overturned her understanding.
"Is this the power of the evil god?" Ye Cang pondered, glancing at the straw-hatted youth who remained motionless not far away. "This is troublesome."
"Don't think about that now." At this moment, Kushina suddenly spoke up to remind us: "Dealing with the enemy in front of us is the most important thing."
At this moment, the cultists who hadn't been hit by Wuyue's ninjutsu and were still remaining in the vicinity launched a full-scale attack on them. Dozens of people surged towards them like a tidal wave.
Wu Yue glanced at them briefly and then ignored them. He trusted the women's strength; those ordinary cultists shouldn't pose any threat to them. His priority now was to deal with these troublesome individuals.
With that thought in mind, he moved his hands in quick succession, forming a hand seal once more.
Hu Chi.
Suddenly, layers of steam rose from the ground. Then, a crimson color covered the entire area. Bubbles formed abruptly, and the surface was covered by magma.
Lava Release: Lava Hell!
Hula la.
The crimson lava flowed out like a tidal wave, quickly engulfing and swallowing the cultists. Under the extremely high temperature, their bodies couldn't even struggle and became part of the lava.
"So this is what they call immortality is all there is to it." Turning her gaze to the young man in the bamboo hat who hadn't moved an inch from beginning to end, Wu Yue sneered, "Well, aren't you surprised?"
“That’s right, I am indeed very surprised.” The young man in the straw hat nodded seriously and said, “I knew long ago that the legendary Konoha Heavenly Dragon was not an easy opponent. But I didn’t expect your strength to exceed my expectations.”
"Oh? So you're planning to back down?" Wuyue's lips curled into a smile. "That won't do. Your fate is already sealed."
"Give in?"
The young man in the straw hat chuckled and slowly removed the hat from his forehead, revealing a head of smooth black hair. "You're mistaken, Konoha's Celestial Dragon. I just feel it's a pity. Originally, we could have cooperated well. Unfortunately, you insisted on courting death. But it's all for the best... to offer someone as powerful as you as an offering to the Evil God, it will surely be happy."
As his voice rang out, a powerful aura erupted from his body. A palpable sense of oppression rippled wildly outwards from his entire being.
"This is chakra energy?" Wuyue frowned slightly, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes. "No. Compared to chakra, this should be something far more evil and powerful."
"Did you feel it?" The long-haired youth curled his lips into a sneer. "This is the divine power of my god. Under the power of the god, you... are nothing but ants!"
329 Fierce Battle
The power of God?!
Hearing the other party's words, Wuyue wanted to laugh, but couldn't. The sheer power the other party exuded truly transcended the realm of ninjas and chakra; it had entered a completely different realm of power. From the perspective of the Naruto worldview alone, it could indeed be called "the power of a god!"
This is something that was never mentioned in the original work. Even Hidan of Akatsuki never displayed such a terrifying ability.
But thinking about it, it makes sense. Although Hidan is also immortal and possesses unconventional attack methods like curse-based attacks, he has always referred to himself as a "follower" rather than a "messenger of God."
Based on this calculation, it's not unreasonable for this so-called "agent of God" to possess such terrifying power.
Seeing Wuyue fall silent, the long-haired youth seemed quite pleased with himself, raising his head high and saying, "Afraid? The Celestial Dragon of Konoha. Savor this fear, for this is... a gift from my god!" As soon as he finished speaking, he vanished from the spot like a streak of light.
That speed!
Wuyue's pupils contracted, and her body instinctively veered to the right.
Swish.
A streak of light grazed his arm and flew backward. With a deafening roar, the light struck a nearly five-meter-high boulder behind him, instantly splitting it in two.
A long-haired youth wielding a silver scimitar emerged from the rock, a wicked smile on his face. "Not bad. I thought this strike would cut off one of your arms."
"Is that so?" Wuyue gripped the hilt of her sword behind her back with her right hand and drew it from its sheath. "Then I'm truly honored that you didn't strike me." With a clang, she drew her sword.
“Of course, you should feel honored.” The long-haired youth brandished his curved sword and charged toward Wuyue once more.
Swish.
In mid-air, a flash of blade light appeared, leaving behind a trail of afterimages. Then, all the afterimages converged into one, and the blade light slashed down towards Wuyue.
Ding.
The crisp sound of swords clashing rang out, sparks flying everywhere.
This time, Wuyue seemed to have seen through the opponent's movements, and the blade in her hand blocked the opponent's attack.
√>.:/>≯
But at that moment, the long-haired youth's body twisted strangely to the side. His right hand, still holding the knife, remained in that position, while a short knife emerged from the sleeve of his left hand, thrusting straight towards Wuyue's brow.
Wuyue seemed surprised that her opponent had such a move. She swung her right arm holding the knife forcefully, using the recoil to fly backward.
"Oh? You managed to dodge that?" The long-haired youth exclaimed in surprise, then lunged forward again. The two blades in his hands moved like autumn leaves dancing in the wind, creating a whirlwind of death as they crushed towards Wuyue.
Ding-ding-ding-ding.
In the blink of an eye, the two had already fought more than a dozen rounds, and their figures once again passed each other.
Wuyue's right hand, holding the sword, trembled slightly, and a hint of caution appeared on her face.
This guy's swordsmanship seems to be different from any other school in the ninja world. But both his technique and the way he exerts force are enough to be called "master" level, and the material of these two swords is obviously not ordinary. Even when they clashed with his Zanpakuto, there were no nicks or marks.
"Konoha Tenryu, it seems I need to reassess your fighting strength." The long-haired youth also abandoned his earlier contempt. He possessed swordsmanship and a divine weapon personally bestowed by the Evil God, yet he had been outmatched in the previous battle? This was beyond his comprehension! "In this state, it seems I cannot inflict fatal damage on you."
What do you mean?
Wu Yue raised an eyebrow. Could it be that this guy can transform?
The facts largely matched his expectations.
The long-haired man clasped his hands together in front of his chest. Suddenly, the strange mark on his cheek emitted a dark red light. And that blood-red light quickly spread to his entire body.
……
Visibly, the long-haired youth's body underwent an astonishing transformation. His nose and mouth gradually lengthened, and his limbs and torso rapidly thickened, bursting through the purplish-gray robe he wore.
Surprisingly... there was also a huge cult symbol on his chest. However, in the very center of the triangle, there was a strange creature with two horns on its head, resembling a deer or a winged horse, but with snake eyes.
Before Wuyue could examine the creature's appearance closely, the long-haired youth had already moved. As if teleporting, he vanished from the spot.
Ok?
Wu Yue's eyes narrowed, and just as she was about to make a move, she was struck in the chest by a tremendous force, and her feet left the ground as she flew backward.
Bang bang bang.
