Chapter 130: Reunion with Zabuza and Haku
The hot springs at this inn are in private areas with their own courtyards and come with an additional charge. Therefore, there are no outsiders. After perceiving the commotion, Yue Yan and the others immediately climbed out of the hot spring, got dressed as quickly as possible, and warily stared at the person who had just fallen into the hot spring.
Since this person was covered in blood when they fell in, the hot spring had now turned red. With such a large amount of blood loss, in the eyes of Yue Yan, who was studying medicine, this person simply couldn't survive. However, this person stood up from the hot spring not long after.
"Damn! So fucking hot! Where the hell did they drag me to? Why the hell is there a hot spring?"
This guy seems to be out of his mind and didn't notice Yue Yan and the others at all. As soon as he climbed out of the hot spring, he ran towards the place where he had been knocked flying, howling as he ran.
"Heh heh heh! They are two perfect sacrifices. I can't let any other bastards get to them first."
Watching the retreating back of this guy, Shisui and the others looked at Yue Yan and asked what they should do next.
Hearing this, Yue Yan activated his [perception]. He sensed that several people were besieging two others, and the battle location was gradually approaching them. If they did nothing, the fight would reach here, and then Yue Yan and the others would have nowhere to rest.
"Go back and dry off first, then grab our gear. We'll go check it out later."
As he said this, [Lightning Bolt] surged all over Yue Yan's body, evaporating the remaining water on his body. Then he walked towards the changing room to get dressed.
On the other side, there were two figures, one tall and one short, being besieged by several people.
The tall one was holding a large sword as wide as a door panel. He swung the large sword powerfully and widely, forcing back the people surrounding them.
Judging from the bandages covering the lower half of his face and this large sword, it was clearly Zabuza, whom they had seen before. And the other person, well, a very handsome young boy with a charming smile, should be Haku.
"Haku, you leave first. If those mad dogs notice your abilities, it'll cause even more trouble."
Hearing this, Haku threw out several [Senbon], forcing back a person who was trying to sneak up on Zabuza, then shook his head.
"I can't leave. Otherwise, Mr. Zabuza will be in danger."
Hearing this, Zabuza glanced sideways at the few people who were eager to make a move and disdainfully snorted.
"Pfft, them? Come on!"
The moment he finished speaking, Zabuza teleported forward, and his Beheading Prison Chop came down vertically in a fierce strike.
Seeing this, the man raised his sword to block, but Zabuza's terrifying strength split both the long sword and most of his chest in one go.
The man who was sent flying covered his chest where his internal organs were clearly visible. After falling to the ground, he showed an expression of complete ecstasy.
"So painful, so good! Kakinouchi-sama (a person's name, original Chinese: 夹心撒嘛)!!!"
"Tsk, is he still alive?"
Zabuza clicked his tongue in irritation. Previously, to avoid the pursuit of the Mist Ninjas Anbu, he and Haku had specifically hidden in the Land of Hot Water, thinking they could have some peace for a while. But somehow, they got targeted by these members of the evil god cult. They insisted that he and Haku were rare sacrifices and wanted to offer them to some stupid evil god.
What annoyed Zabuza most was that he had currently found that these people were almost immortal unless their heads were cut off. They were like rabid dogs, chasing him and Haku all the way here.
Watching that guy just now crawling on the ground sinisterly and making those perverted, groaning sounds, Zabuza's mouth under the bandages couldn't help twitching.
Just as he was about to take action to deal with the others and then leave this eerie place with Haku, a flippant voice reached his ears.
"Yo, isn't this Zabuza? It's been a few years. Why have you become such a loser?"
Looking in the direction of the voice, Zabuza also noticed Yue Yan, who was sitting on the roof of a building nearby, looking at them with great interest.
"It's you! The Golden Thunder Beast of Konoha!"
Hearing this, Yue Yan shrugged.
"We've at least had a fight. You wouldn't have forgotten my name, would you? I still remember yours, though."
"Damn bastard, are you here to mock me?"
"Mr. Zabuza, be careful."
Before the words were fully spoken, Zabuza heard a whistling sound beside his ear.
A flying sickle came whizzing at high speed. Even though Zabuza moved extremely fast, a wisp of his hair and his ear were still scratched.
Normally, for an ordinary person, such a minor injury would heal within a few minutes. The evil god cult member who threw the flying sickle looked extremely excited, as if he had already won.
As the cult member yanked the chains in his hand, the flying sickle returned to his hand. He stuck out his tongue and licked Zabuza's blood off the sickle blade into his mouth. Then he cut his own wrist, drew a circle with his foot, and drew a triangle in the center of the circle.
After finishing the pattern, the cult member grinned. Amid the cheers of the other cult members, his body instantly turned jet - black, and several white marks appeared on his body.
"Kakushisama!!!"
After he raised the sickle and stabbed his own thigh, an identical wound appeared on Zabuza's Sukune.
"Mr. Zabuza!"
Haku rushed over anxiously and was going to bandage Zabuza's wound, but was stopped by Zabuza. He glared at Yue Yan, then, disregarding the injury on his Sukune, rushed at the cult member.
Seeing this, the cult member showed an evil smile and was about to stab the other leg.
However, how could his speed be faster than Zabuza's? With a swing of his hand, Zabuza wielded the Beheading Prison Chop like a fly - swatter and swatted the cult member away.
Crack!
As two crisp sounds of broken bones rang out, Zabuza clutched his left ribs and staggered back two steps.
Zabuza, a tough guy, endured the excruciating pain and once again waved the Beheading Prison Chop to destroy the marks on the ground.
Although Zabuza didn't know why he had suffered the same injuries as the members of the evil god cult just now, his intuition told him that it must be related to this thing. Destroying it first must be the right move.
Seeing this, the members of the evil god cult who had just gotten up burst into crazy laughter with distorted expressions.
"Hahaha, it's useless even if you destroy the marks."
He pointed to the bloodline limit (Sukune) on the ground left by Zabuza's thigh when he moved just now.
"With this blood, it's useless even if you flee to the ends of the earth."
Upon hearing this, Zabuza pulled down his facial bandage, showing his mouthful of sharp teeth, and disdainfully turned his head and spat out a bloody spittle.
"Well, then I'll just kill you all before you draw these marks, simple as that."
After saying that, Zabuza was about to rush up with the Beheading Prison Chop, but was stopped by Haku.
"Mr. Zabuza, you're injured. Please don't act anymore."
After saying that, Haku turned to look at Yue Yan, who had been watching the show.
"My lord Yue Yan, please help us."
Hearing this, Yue Yan shrugged. His eyes were covered by a layer of black - red mist that outsiders couldn't see at all, and a bird's illusory shadow (kage) appeared behind him.
"Xiaolan, Shisui, leave one alive and take care of the rest. Be careful they don't get hold of the blood. And when you're dealing with them, make sure to cut them into eight pieces to ensure they're completely dead."
"Understood."
