"Let's begin," the cult leader said softly.
Walking into another secret room, two unfortunate souls with terrified expressions were tied to crosses, their wrists already slit, blood gushing into the bowls placed beside them, quickly filling them up.
Faced with this scene, everyone in the room remained indifferent, including Akagi Shinji, who had grown accustomed to this situation over the past few days.
Then, Hidan walked directly to one of the unfortunate souls, and under everyone's watchful eyes, he unceremoniously picked up one of the bowls of blood, tilted his head back, and drank it all in one go as a sign of respect!
Glug, glug...
Smash! The bowl shattered on the ground, and the remaining blood flowed out.
Then, Hidan grinned hideously and stepped on it, beginning to draw some kind of special pattern.
Soon, a circular pattern enclosing a triangle was completed on the ground with the blood.
After doing all of this, Hidan, who was now standing inside the pattern, was extremely excited.
He could feel that at this moment, the chakra in his body was rapidly transforming into a special power, and then it rushed up and completely enveloped all the blood he had swallowed earlier!
"That's right, that's how it is, that's how it is, hahaha!"
Hidan couldn't help but laugh wildly, covering his forehead with one hand while bending over.
When he straightened up again, his entire appearance had undergone a huge change!
Hidan's skin first turned directly black, and then white lines quickly appeared on it, evenly and characteristically distributed on various parts of his body, looking extremely terrifying and horrifying!
Then, amidst laughter, Hidan once again took out a short spear from his arms and curiously and excitedly lightly ran it across his chest.
Instantly, a long bloodstain appeared.
Was he simply indulging in self-torture?
No!
Hidan's eyes became even more excited and agitated!
Because the unfortunate soul whose blood he had just drunk suddenly had an identical wound appear on his chest!
Puff!
While staring intently at the other party, Hidan inserted the short spear in his hand into his right leg.
"Ugh..."
The unfortunate soul, whose mouth was blocked, instantly spurted a stream of blood from his right leg, but could only make a muffled sound.
"It hurts... but it's really... it's really too comfortable!!!"
"Hahaha, let's die together!"
Amidst the wild laughter, Hidan kept waving the sharp short spear in his hand, opening one bloody hole after another on his body, blood splattering everywhere, while Hidan's expression was one of pleasure in pain, as if he was about to ascend to heaven!
Thump!
Hidan, whose cursed technique suddenly deactivated automatically, fell backwards onto the ground in a sprawling posture, with a look of satisfaction on his face, probably not even needing a cigarette afterward.
At some point, that unfortunate guy widened his eyes and was actually scared to death!
Seeing this scene, all the members of the Jashin Cult who were observing and recording all of this in the distance showed extremely excited expressions.
They had succeeded once again!
Even the cult leader couldn't help but show a gratified smile. Hidan was indeed the most precious treasure that Lord Jashin had sent him.
In just one month, he had actually cultivated this cursed technique to this extent.
Although the duration was still very short, it was already enough to be encouraging.
In comparison, the other one was more like a castrated version of Hidan in all aspects...
The cult leader's gaze flickered slightly as he looked at Akagi Shinji and said, "It's your turn, Shinji."
Akagi Shinji immediately took a few steps forward, and the excited and admiring gazes around him immediately turned into scrutiny and suspicion, falling on him.
This was only because compared to Hidan, who could use [Death Possession Blood] to this extent after only one month, his current progress was a resounding... zero!
In fact, even Akagi Shinji himself didn't expect that he would be unable to cultivate [Cursed Technique - Death Possession Blood]!
Although he had overcome his own 'mental cleanliness' and convinced himself with the nonsensical reason that 'drinking human blood at least doesn't have as many parasites', thus forcing himself to drink it once...
But it seemed that his very existence was an accident.
A person who shouldn't have come back to life inexplicably came back to life, and then luckily obtained a castrated version of [Immortality].
So, it seemed reasonable that he couldn't complete the cultivation of [Death Possession Blood].
Moreover, he himself wasn't particularly willing to drink blood.
For no other reason than that he found it disgusting!
God knows if the other party had any blood-borne diseases, such as AIDS!
If he were to get infected, he wouldn't even be able to die if he wanted to...
How unlucky!
Therefore, Akagi Shinji wasn't particularly disappointed, except for not knowing how to deal with these guys from the Jashin Cult.
After all, he was a man with a cheat ability!
And the reward he received this time could completely allow him to get through the difficulties smoothly.
Akagi Shinji, who had walked forward, didn't follow Hidan's example and drink that bowl of blood that might contain some infectious diseases, but suddenly took out a sharp kunai and forcefully slashed it across his left wrist!
Drip, drip, drip, drip...
In the silent secret room, Akagi Shinji held his left hand flat with the wound facing down, allowing the blood, which formed a continuous line, to drip onto the ground.
Seeing this, the Jashin Sect's cult leader, Takiki, first frowned slightly, a trace of displeasure flashing in his eyes, and then asked, "What are you doi... huh!?"
Akagi Shinji didn't try to explain anything, but closed his eyes to feel the power within his body.
Chakra suddenly accelerated and traveled through specific meridians, and then, under his strong emotions, it quickly transformed into another kind of power, which was the cursed power used to cast cursed techniques!
Then, Akagi Shinji suddenly opened his eyes and formed an unfinished hand seal with one hand.
Blood Manipulation!
Under everyone's surprised gaze, the large amount of blood that had previously flowed out of Akagi Shinji's body suddenly seemed to come to life, turning into blood threads that flowed rapidly around him in an irregular manner.
The dimly lit secret room, the corpse nailed to the cross, the eerie religious patterns, and the blood that suddenly came to life and began to move...
This scene was strangely beautiful!
The question that cult leader Takiki had failed to fully ask seemed to no longer need an answer, but in order to completely fool these people, Akagi Shinji still said, "This is the new cursed technique that Lord Jashin specially bestowed upon me - Blood Manipulation!"
A new cursed technique?
Blood Manipulation?!!
Cult leader Takiki came back to his senses from his surprise, and then took a deep look at the other party, before changing back to his original kind appearance and praising, "Very good, since Lord Jashin has bestowed upon you a new cursed technique, then you should focus on this. Praise Lord Jashin~"
