Uchiha: I Admit, You Are a Bit Extreme

Chapter 35 Uchiha: I Admit, You Are a Bit Extreme

"There are too many paths worth strengthening, which just goes to show that I am still too weak."

"I cannot learn from the Second Pillar, thinking I'm back in the game just because the sky cleared and the rain stopped."

This experience could hardly be called a brutal beating.

However, Fang Xiu still keenly realized that his mindset seemed to have inflated a bit; fortunately, the female Corpse-Dissection Immortal he encountered did not harbor much malice, and their battle remained within a stable range throughout.

"Let's go meet her."

"Even if there are variables, relying on my chakra reserves and the earth-style characteristics in Sage Mode, it won't be difficult to hold out until the return."

Immediately, the decision was made.

On the other side.

Intentionally controlling the scale of the battle, Yanxu Daoji calmly scanned the surrounding forest, her gaze pausing on Huang Huotu—just as Fang Xiu had anticipated, neither side of the battle would do him any harm, and he remained unscathed, protected by the dense canopy of ancient trees.

"That pair of eyes is too special; if they continue to evolve, I fear they will pose a greater threat to spiritual bodies."

"But, what for?"

"Born only for battle, one will eventually lose to time, either forced into corpse-dissection or cultivating the lowest grade of ghost immortal."

"Sigh, never mind. As long as my sister and I can endure forever, perhaps in a few hundred or thousand years, the heavens and earth will reconnect, and we might find a way to advance further."

In a trance, her clear eyes refocused, locking onto the top of a towering tree.

Quietly, Fang Xiu descended.

This time, he came in his true form.

He wore ancient vermilion armor, carried a specially crafted long sword on his back, and his thick black hair was tied at the ends with a red cord, swaying in the wind.

Yanxu Daoji found him quite pleasing to the eye.

She was a Taoist nun from the end of the Song Dynasty.

At that time, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth was already showing signs of depletion, and with the change of dynasties, many cultivators chose to flee to remote or even desolate lands to avoid disaster.

Zhenxian Temple, located in Jiaozhi, was the place where the sisters took refuge. They stayed together, living like that for hundreds of years, until today...

While being scrutinized, Fang Xiu was also re-evaluating her—she had a great temperament, though the double pupils in her eye sockets looked a bit sinister.

Perhaps the Sharingan looked the same to outsiders?

"Greetings, fellow Daoist."

Immortals were ultimately worthy of respect.

At the very least, after their tentative sparring, Fang Xiu had no confidence in taking her down, so he took the initiative to greet her.

Furthermore, he realized that the female immortal before him had a gentle enough personality, quite different from her younger sister Xie Yali, who appeared in the movie and required the Renxiao of the Five Hells.

Perhaps he could actually gain some benefits?

Not long ago, the secret manual gifted by Hermit Caolu only had the Hutian Technique left, which truly made Fang Xiu's heart ache.

After all, having more skills never hurts; even if he couldn't study them all to perfection, having them in his possession might come in handy one day—it is ten thousand times better to have it and not need it than to not know how to use it at a critical moment.

"Greetings, fellow Daoist." Yanxu withdrew her scrutinizing gaze and nodded slightly. "It looks like we can communicate normally this time."

"You won't be asking for immortal artifacts or divine weapons again, will you?"

As she spoke, she added another remark.

"..." Fang Xiu.

Huang Huotu: "..."

The two were speechless.

The former blamed it on the Uchiha ancestral mindset of inflation, combined with the fact that ancients didn't understand jokes and lacked a sense of humor.

The latter was simply too low-level to interject, terrified of witnessing another clash of gods.

Next, the two began to communicate face-to-face, the atmosphere remaining quite harmonious. Some past events were revealed.

It confirmed his conjectures and the plot points from the movie—the younger sister failed to overcome the destiny of the heavens and could not achieve immortality through corpse-dissection before birth, so she had to settle for the next best thing, starting to search for Renxiao and casting them into the Five Hells to achieve the lowest realm of corpse-dissection:

Soldier-Dissection.

And Old Huang was indeed the fated Sword-Wielding Executor.

Hearing this, Huang Huotu, who had been standing silently on the side acting as a background character while listening to the story, was stunned. He had no idea he had been carrying so much on his shoulders in secret.

Moreover, he had unknowingly incurred a massive favor.

If Yanxu Daoji hadn't intervened secretly back then, the bullet fired by his brother-in-law would have followed its trajectory and blown his precious daughter's head off.

"Immortal, thank you very much for your help, but the Five Hells Ascension Method... is it not too cruel? Can one really avoid disaster by achieving immortality through slaughter?"

Gathering his courage, Huang Huotu, not forgetting he was wearing a police uniform, interjected, his gaze darting toward Fang Xiu.

After all, the new identity the Main God had arranged for him was that of a Hong Kong Island police officer, here as a consultant.

"No, the predecessors have already verified it."

"Besides, all Renxiao carry heavy sins. My younger sister possesses Double Vision, allowing her to see the various karmic threads of the mortal world, and she has yet to kill any innocent people..."

The Ice Prison punishes those who acquire ill-gotten wealth. The boss of a chemical group wantonly discharged heavy metal sewage while alive, affecting thousands of households; elderly people and children died indirectly because of it, and their families have yet to receive any compensation to this day.

The Fire Pit Prison punishes those who commit the sin of adultery. A woman named Miao, who served as a mistress to a councilman, not only sought money but, for the sake of status, deliberately called the man's wife to provoke her, causing her to miscarry and leaving the infant dead in the womb, rendering her unable to bear children for life.

The Intestine-Pulling Prison tortures those who commit the sin of treachery. A priest who spoke of benevolence was, in reality, dealing with local gangs and smuggling arms.

The next one, the Heart-Gouging Prison, requires the killing of an unfilial son. The target is a loafer who gambled away his parents' coffin money and, refusing to mend his ways, eventually angered his parents to death.

To be honest, all four of these people deserve to die, and Fang Xiu has no interest in seeking justice for them.

However, the fifth prison—Tongue-Pulling—is quite special. In the plot, the one sacrificed is the FBI detective Kevin.

Possessing a sense of justice and solid professional skills, he doesn't look like a bad person in any way...

Perhaps sensing Fang Xiu's confusion, Yanxu Daoji said nonchalantly, "Regarding the fifth person, those who do not respect ghosts and gods, the Heavenly Mandate does not impose mandatory requirements."

"Just find some foreign barbarian and kill him; I think that detective named Kevin is quite suitable."

Her voice was laced with a chilling coldness.

In an instant, Huang Huotu felt a chill, along with the contempt of a higher-level life form, treating a human life like a chess piece to be manipulated at will.

Discriminating against foreigners?

That is fine.

But killing an excellent police officer with solid professional capabilities and upright values is taking things to the extreme.

Even though Fang Xiu has accepted that he is a member of the Uchiha clan, his mindset is perhaps not yet twisted enough to understand this.

He is, however, in full agreement with sacrificing those who deserve it but cannot be judged by the law, even if the methods are bloody and bizarre.

In the silence, Yanxu suddenly asked:

"What does fellow Daoist think?"

"How about we choose someone else? There are many people who do not respect ghosts and gods nowadays; it shouldn't be difficult to find some scum to cast into the Tongue-Pulling Prison," Fang Xiu voiced his thoughts.

"Very well."

"The opinion of the strong is always worth considering."

--Reverse the death of detective Kevin Wright, obtain one C-rank side quest, and one thousand reward points.

The Main God announced its arrival.

That battle, clearly, was not fought in vain.
