Bai Mei, You Picked the Wrong Person! I Am Your Inner Demon!

In that suddenly appearing forest, Hidan fled desperately through the tangled trees like a startled bird.

Behind him, Uchiha Yu followed close behind like a ghost. His Mangekyō Sharingan gave off a faint red glow, taking in Hidan’s every move.

Hidan’s heart was filled with fear. He had never encountered such a troublesome opponent!

As he ran, he kept looking back from time to time, wildly waving the Bloody Scythe in his hand in an attempt to bolster his courage.

"What kind of monster is this guy?!" Hidan cursed under his breath, his voice trembling slightly.

Hidan was a follower of the Immortal Evil God. That was common knowledge.

Aside from Main God Fang Yu, the other Fang Yus were not truly pure humans by nature.

In other words.

When Uchiha Yu, the One-Eyed Ghoul, saw the immortal Hidan, his long-dormant sense of taste was awakened once more.

Ordinary meat was nothing special.

You said you could not die, and your flesh was firm?

Then he absolutely had to have a taste!

Suddenly, Hidan felt the presence behind him drawing ever closer. He gritted his teeth, spun around, and used all his strength to sweep the Bloody Scythe horizontally at Uchiha Yu.

The blade tore through the air with a shrill howl, kicking up a fierce gust.

Yet there was not the slightest fear in Uchiha Yu’s eyes. His Observation Haki had long sensed Hidan’s attack trajectory. Just as the scythe blade was about to touch his body, he lightly shifted aside, as weightless as a feather, effortlessly evading the fierce strike.

Having missed, Hidan stumbled several steps forward from inertia.

Before he could steady himself, Uchiha Yu had already closed in.

His right hand rose high, veins bulging along his arm as an eerie black power faintly seeped through the skin!

Hidan widened his eyes in terror, but it was already too late to dodge.

Uchiha Yu’s hand was like a sharp blade as it viciously clawed toward Hidan’s shoulder.

With a tearing sound, Hidan’s clothes ripped apart, revealing a deep bloody wound across his shoulder. Blood instantly gushed out, dyeing his clothes red.

"Ah!" Hidan screamed in pain!

It was not as though Hidan could not feel pain. On the contrary, his pain receptors were rather sensitive. Every time he sacrificed a life, the pain nearly killed him.

It was only because he possessed an S-rank Attribute that pain usually brought him pleasure.

But now, he could not feel any pleasure at all.

Hidan endured the pain and swung the Bloody Scythe at Uchiha Yu again.

This time, his attacks were even more frenzied, without any form or pattern.

In Uchiha Yu’s eyes, those attacks were riddled with openings.

While accurately predicting Hidan’s movements with the Mangekyō Sharingan, Uchiha Yu also used Observation Haki to sense the subtle changes around him. Each time, he effortlessly dodged through the gaps in Hidan’s attacks.

Hidan’s stamina was gradually drained by his mad attacks and flight. His movements grew slower and slower, while his breathing became heavy and labored.

Uchiha Yu, meanwhile, remained relaxed, having expended almost nothing.

Once again, Hidan swung his scythe down. Uchiha Yu calmly took a step back and reached out with his left hand, grabbing Hidan by the wrist.

Hidan felt a powerful force clamp down on him. His wrist felt as though it were caught in iron pincers, utterly unable to move.

"You! You bastard! If you’ve got the guts, let me hit you once! Just once!" Hidan panted, his eyes full of rage.

The corner of Uchiha Yu’s mouth lifted into a cold smile. "Didn’t you claim to be immortal? Then let me test you properly and see just how much pain your immortal body can withstand." As he spoke, he suddenly twisted Hidan’s arm and drove his right fist viciously into Hidan’s abdomen.

With a dull bang, Hidan’s body flew backward like a kite with its string cut, crashing heavily into a large tree.

Hidan struggled to climb to his feet. His face was full of pain, his body covered in wounds, blood staining his clothes red.

He looked at Uchiha Yu, his heart filled with fear. Yet as a follower of the evil god, there was still a trace of madness left within him.

"I won’t die! Lord Jashin will protect me!"

"Evil god?" Uchiha Yu’s smile grew even more unhinged. "What would that taste like? Salty? Sour?"

Ten minutes passed.

Hidan had completely lost his initial arrogance.

He lay sprawled on the ground, his limbs cruelly severed by Uchiha Yu. Blood continuously flowed from the stumps, pooling into a vivid red puddle beneath him.

His body twitched faintly from severe pain, but his head remained stubbornly raised as he continued to curse. "You bastard! If you’ve got the guts, stop using these underhanded tricks and fight me fair and square!"

His voice was filled with fury and unwillingness, but those curses sounded so powerless in the empty forest.

Uchiha Yu stood nearby, looking coldly at Hidan with a trace of pity in his eyes. "Pathetic."

"Your taijutsu is nothing more than a child’s game in my eyes. You have brute courage, but no skill whatsoever."

Hidan felt a stab in his heart upon hearing those words. Only now did he bitterly regret that if he had diligently studied taijutsu instead of relying solely on Curse Technique: Death Possession Blood, he would never have ended up like this.

Now, even though he possessed such a powerful curse technique, he could not get close to his enemy and had no way to use it. It was like a clever housewife unable to cook without rice.

Uchiha Yu found Hidan’s unconvinced yet helpless expression rather amusing.

He reached into his clothes and took out a Flying Thunder God kunai, slowly spinning it before Hidan.

Hidan looked at him in confusion, unable to understand what he intended to do.

A mysterious curve appeared on Uchiha Yu’s lips as he suddenly hurled the Flying Thunder God kunai into the distance.

Just as Hidan’s gaze followed the kunai’s flight, Uchiha Yu’s figure abruptly vanished.

Hidan’s eyes widened as he frantically looked around. "Where is he? Where did he go?"

Before his words had faded, Uchiha Yu flashed through the air and precisely caught the Flying Thunder God kunai. Then, another spatial fluctuation appeared, and he instantly used Flying Thunder God to return to his original spot!

The entire sequence flowed without interruption, taking only two blinks of an eye!

Hidan stared in stunned disbelief, his face filled with shock!

"Y-you, you, you!"

At that moment, Hidan finally understood that Uchiha Yu had been going easy on him!

With Uchiha Yu’s speed and his elusive Space-Time Ninjutsu, forget hitting him—even touching the edge of his clothes was nearly impossible!

Having displayed his ability, Uchiha Yu gave a wicked grin and began forming Hand Seals with both hands.

"You! What are you going to do?" Hidan was genuinely a little afraid now.

"Nothing. Stop making noise. Your body is perfect experimental material. I’m returning a favor to Orochimaru."

As he spoke, he completed the final seal and murmured, "Wood Release: Four-Pillar Prison!"

Thud, thud, thud, thud, thud!

Several wooden pillars rose from the ground, enclosing Hidan within them.

Uchiha Yu placed one hand on the Four-Pillar Prison and activated Flying Thunder God.

The surroundings shifted. Through a tiny gap, Hidan saw the scene outside.

That alluringly shaped person was…

That was right! It was Orochimaru, who had previously defected from the organization!

"Hey! Let me out!"

Uchiha Yu smiled helplessly at Orochimaru. "See? Even with only a head left, this guy is still so noisy."

Orochimaru looked at Hidan as though he had found a treasure. "By pledging allegiance to the Immortal Evil God, you can gain immortality? Eternal life?"

Hidan had no desire to respond to Orochimaru. He looked instead at Uchiha Yu. "Hey! If you’ve got the guts, put my body back together and fight me again! I’ll definitely be able to kill you!"

Orochimaru suddenly smiled and placed a hand on Hidan’s head. "Kill Yu-kun? A magnificent ambition. But from the looks of it, no one in the entire shinobi world should be capable of killing him."

Uchiha Yu shrugged. "See? Your knowledge is still too limited! If that were really the case, I wouldn’t need to urge the Second Hokage to improve Impure World Reincarnation or learn the First Hokage’s ninjutsu."

As he said that, Orochimaru suddenly reminded him, "Oh, right. I forgot to tell you. Tobirama Senju has just finished improving Impure World Reincarnation. Very soon, you’ll be able to witness the power of Hashirama Senju at nearly his peak."

"At his peak?!"

At the thought of learning top-tier ninjutsu such as Sage Art Wood Release: True Several Thousand Hands and Summit Buddha Transformation in the future, Uchiha Yu was so excited that even the soles of his feet were cheering!

He could not wait to see Pirate World Fang Yu using Summit Buddha Transformation to pound Marine Headquarters into the ground!

He had no idea that after learning Sage Art Wood Release: True Several Thousand Hands, the first person to benefit would be Main God Fang Yu.

At the mountaintop, Main God Fang Yu hovered in the air using Asgardian Magic’s power of flight, coldly locking onto the Emei Sect ruins in the night!

He had accumulated nearly enough Sage Mode Chakra! The energy throughout his body needed an outlet to vent itself!

And that outlet was naturally the Emei Sect that Bai Mei cared about most!

"Sage Art: Welcoming Approach: Thousand-Hand Kill!"

The Guanyin Phantom had only just appeared when a bolt of lightning struck down from the horizon!

"You audacious fiend! How dare you!"

The moment Fang Yu heard that disgusting voice, he knew who the newcomer was.

However, he did not care at all how Bai Mei attacked him.

Under the protection of the Divine Protection Barrier, he could at least throw several dozen punches!

Rumble—

The last remaining structures of Emei were reduced to dust beneath Fang Yu’s attacks. Bai Mei’s attack had only just reached Fang Yu when it was blocked by the Divine Protection Barrier!

Bai Mei was so furious that his beard bristled and his eyes bulged. With a wave of his hand, he shouted, "Vast Heaven Mirror!"

Before the Vast Heaven Mirror could shine upon Fang Yu, Fang Yu used Flying Thunder God and slipped back into the underground world!

"Huff, huff." Bai Mei’s large belly quivered with rage!

Only then did he realize that this brat was an even more unreasonable, enhanced version of the Nether Spring Blood Demon!

He could not be caught, and he could not be killed.

It was utterly tormenting!

Several people wielding flying swords arrived from the horizon after hearing the commotion.

Changkong Wuji, the Heavenly Thunder Sword Successor, knelt in the ruins and kowtowed to Bai Mei in the sky. "master! We arrived too late!"

Bai Mei waved a hand. "Say no more! From this day onward, the Emei Sect…"

"Will relocate!"

Though unwilling, everyone still nodded. "Yes!"

Just as they finalized the plan, space rippled, and Main God Fang Yu appeared!

Bai Mei moved quickly, flinging his whisk directly at him. Yet no matter how fast he was, he was not faster than Fang Yu, who had activated the Divine Protection Barrier in advance. Fang Yu smiled at Bai Mei. "Moving? Just wait! The moment you lay the foundations, I’ll tear them down!"

Bai Mei nearly vomited blood from rage!

Now, he could neither advance nor retreat!

Thinking that this was all caused by those alien races from the Atlantis Team, Bai Mei took a deep breath. He actually ignored Fang Yu and flew toward the horizon.

Fang Yu frowned. "Could this guy have come up with some rotten scheme? Hmph, whatever. Emei has been destroyed. It’s time to go cause trouble for the Atlantis Team!"

Before the Shushan Disciples, his figure vanished once again, leaving them all staring blankly in stunned silence.
