Hidan catapulted forward at his maximum speed. The pitch-black spear in his hand stabbed ruthlessly toward that familiar face.
He would never allow anyone to insult that damn bastard! Even if someone were to do it, that person could only be him!
The Leader stepped back. The Koukaku(Mantis) on his body struck out rapidly, blocking the strike at the final moment. The collision between the spear and the crossed scythe-like Kagune immediately sent brilliant sparks flying.
A deep sense of joy surfaced in the Leader's eyes.
This is the power bestowed by Lord Jashin!
Although he couldn't fully control it yet, he could already feel the immense strength within this power.
A massive dark purple shadow swept in from the side. The enraged Hidan was swatted away, smashing a large crater into the wall.
However, this level of injury meant nothing to Hidan and his Immortal Body. He scrambled up from the ground instantly. Without a word, he launched another assault on the Leader with even greater speed.
The Leader narrowed his eyes. The Koukaku(Mantis) shot out like red lightning.
This time, Hidan did not bother to defend. He allowed the blades to sever his head completely.
Is this the pleasure of decapitation?
An indescribable joy rose in the Leader's heart.
No wonder that fellow Simu enjoyed cutting off heads so much.
Next, he just needed to secure Hidan's head.
Just as the Leader thought the matter was easily settled, a large amount of spider silk suddenly shot out from Hidan's neck. It reconnected his body and head.
Immediately after, his body moved again. The spear boomed out like a clap of thunder.
A terrifying sense of crisis rose in the Leader's heart. He desperately lunged to the side, but the sharp spear still pierced through his shoulder.
"Damn it!"
He cursed through gritted teeth. He controlled the Bikaku once more to sweep Hidan away.
Clutching his bleeding shoulder, his expression turned quite ugly.
"Why is it that even though I've mastered his abilities, I still—"
He was interrupted by Hidan before he could finish.
"His power isn't something that any random stray dog can control."
As Hidan spoke, he twisted his neck. In just a second, the severed gap from moments ago vanished completely.
He gripped his spear, his eyes full of murderous intent. "Where exactly did you hide that guy, Simu?"
The Leader let out a frantic laugh at the question.
"Simu? I am Simu right now. If you dare use Death-Controlling Blood, that fellow Simu will die right along with me!"
Hearing the threat, Hidan closed his eyes and whispered, "Kamizuki Simu, you really are a piece of trash."
He slowly raised his spear and licked it. His entire body shifted into its black-and-white patterned state. He said coldly:
"Since he is already dead, the entire Jashin Religion can be buried with him."
A large amount of blood flowed from Hidan, drawing a circular Jashin symbol on the floor.
Death-Controlling Blood, activate!
Seeing this, the Leader immediately grew nervous. He knew the specifics of Hidan's ability. If Hidan successfully destroyed his own body, the Leader's soul would be annihilated as well!
"Hidan, what are you doing?"
"Do you really not want to save Simu anymore?"
The Leader was panicked. Since his blood had already been taken by Hidan, he had no way to stop him if Death-Controlling Blood was used!
Hidan let out a cold laugh.
"I think that guy wouldn't want his body to be controlled by trash like you, let alone be used for threats."
Hidan raised the spear without hesitation.
Since it was that guy's body, he would be quick about it and just pierce the heart with full force.
Seeing that Hidan was serious, the Bikaku behind the Leader flew out.
His target wasn't Hidan, but the floor beneath his feet.
There are two conditions to activate Death-Controlling Blood. One is to consume the blood of the cursed. The other is to stand within the Jashin symbol.
What the Leader needed to do now was destroy the pattern on the ground or force Hidan out of its range.
Unfortunately, with his current mastery of this body, there was no way his speed could match Hidan's.
In a mere instant, the spear in Hidan's hand had already transfixed his own chest.
Correspondingly, a hole abruptly appeared in Simu's chest. A spray of blood erupted.
The Leader collapsed straight onto the floor.
He never imagined that after obtaining such powerful strength, he would still be no match for Hidan.
Why? Why is Lord Jashin so biased!
Regrettably, all his resentment vanished as his heart was pierced.
However, Hidan's revenge clearly didn't end there.
He gently closed Simu's eyes. After staring for a long while, he slowly turned and walked out the door.
"Since you are dead, there is no need for the Jashin Religion to exist."
The next second, Hidan kicked open the main doors.
Before the two cultists outside could react, they were skewered by Hidan's spear!
Double kill.
An intimidating chill radiated from Hidan. This was a true, raw murderous intent rarely seen in his usually cynical self!
Relying on his Immortal Body, Hidan feared no attack. The strikes from these cultists posed no threat to him.
Furthermore, over the last three months, Hidan's Taijutsu had improved rapidly under Simu's tutelage. Combined with this suicidal fighting style, Hidan tore through the entire Jashin Religion alone.
Wails, screams, sobs, and pleas for mercy rose like a discordant grand symphony.
Blood gathered into a long river, resembling the slowly flowing Yellow Springs carrying restless souls.
Crows greedily feasted on the carnage. The faceless statue in the temple silently watched the mortal world. The entire headquarters had become a vision of hell.
Hidan was covered in blood.
After eliminating everyone in the Jashin Religion, he dragged his exhausted body into the temple, leaving bloody footprints with every step of his crimson eyes.
Suddenly, Hidan bared his teeth and smiled at the statue that had been worshiped for thousands of days.
"So the great Lord Jashin cannot even protect his own Divine Son?"
"In that case, I might as well..."
A terrifying thought emerged in Hidan's mind. Veins bulged on his arm as he gripped the spear.
After losing Simu, this world has no meaning to me anymore...
Hidan approached the statue step by step. Just as he was descending into madness, the Blood Pool suddenly surged.
A figure emerged from within, waving an arm at Hidan.
"Ohayou, Hidan-kun!"
