After checking the attributes of the Demon Scythe, a smile appeared on Su Xiao’s face. There was one particular attribute he liked, and as for the effect of the gemstone embedded in the scythe, he wasn’t able to check it and wasn’t interested either. Detaching gemstones involved some risk, and if he tried to detach it, the Demon Scythe · Habo Diya would definitely notice something was wrong.

"What are you planning... to do?"

The voice of the Spirit of the Demon Scythe came through.

"What am I planning to do? Of course, I am going to ’use’ you."

Su Xiao picked up the Demon Scythe, but was he really going to use these two scythes? The answer is, of course, he would ’use’ them, but not for combat.

"Are you really going to... use me?"

The Spirit of the Demon Scythe felt rather insecure. She had a way to drag Su Xiao down with her, but no, it would only be self-destruction.

Su Xiao wouldn’t let this happen; it would be quite a loss.

"Of course, although I have growth-type weapons, the cost of upgrading them is too high. To upgrade to golden quality, I would need about 30 Soul Crystals (Medium) and many precious materials, which would cost at least nearly a million Paradise coins if converted."

Su Xiao began to make things up. After seeing the upgrade conditions for the Demon Scythe · Habo Diya, he was quite surprised. He hadn’t expected other growth weapons to require such a high price for upgrades.

"So it’s a lower-tier weapon. Human, I’ll make this clear first, to use me, you need to pay a considerable price. Of course, this would be less than what it would take to enhance that weapon of yours. First, you have to..."

The Demon Scythe · Habo Diya began to describe how to use her, or rather, how to slightly alter her traits to the extent that Su Xiao could use her.

"You’re skilled in sword techniques, so even if you switch to using a battle scythe, it shouldn’t be a big problem."

The Demon Scythe · Habo Diya talked for several minutes, and Su Xiao listened patiently. When it got too complicated, he would even take notes.

Seeing this, Bubu Wang, who was by the side, secretly admired him. It suddenly realized that Su Xiao’s acting seemed to be better than its own.

"The price is a bit high."

Su Xiao seemed to ’hesitate.’

"It’s not that high. Just imagine the combat strength of Rose using me, the Blood Demon Doll would definitely be your best assistant."

"I’ll think about it."

Su Xiao feigned an action to store the Demon Scythe · Habo Diya into the storage space.

"Wait, don’t put me in your space."

"Hmm?"

Su Xiao looked at the Demon Scythe in his hand, slightly puzzled.

"I still... don’t quite trust you."

"..."

Su Xiao directly threw the Demon Scythe · Habo Diya into the storage space. He had already successfully stabilized the situation. Now throwing her into a sealed environment was the most secure course of action.

The Demon Scythe · Habo Diya was just a consciousness incapable of moving on its own, which meant without controlling the user, it was conscious but essentially ’dead.’

As for the methods provided by the Demon Scythe · Habo Diya, Su Xiao had never even considered them. Who knows if it wasn’t some sacrificial ritual? After all, when he first bound this Demon Scythe, it tried to invade his body, its trajectory clearly heading straight for his brain.

In Su Xiao’s view, the only correct way to use the Demon Scythe · Habo Diya was to feed it to Dragon Slash. As for the consciousness within the scythe, Su Xiao wasn’t worried at all. Supreme Blade was extremely ferocious when devouring other weapons. A mere Spirit of Demon Scythe wouldn’t be a problem. Even if it couldn’t shatter it, Su Xiao could annihilate it with Blue Steel Shadow Energy. There would be no risk when Dragon Slash devoured the Demon Scythe.

Moreover, Su Xiao planned to do this after returning to Reincarnation Paradise, where the exclusive room was the most secure environment. In that place, not to mention a Spirit of a Demon Scythe, even some Demon Gods would be annihilated within minutes.

There was no way Su Xiao would use a Demon Scythe that devours its master; after all, he has been using a long knife for a long time.

Su Xiao stood up and said something to Bubu Wang, who quickly ran outside the base.

A few minutes later, Bubu Wang returned to the underground base with Shinfuru.

Shinfuru felt somewhat apprehensive. She had slipped away earlier and was worried about whether Su Xiao would blame her.

In truth, Shinfuru was overthinking it. Su Xiao hadn’t expected her to stay. The personal favorability between them was evident, and the fact that Shinfuru didn’t take the chance to leave the Akatsuki Organization already showed a lot of loyalty.

Su Xiao only trusted Bubu Wang and A Mu, so he never expected Shinfuru to be very loyal to him.

In the slightly dim underground base, large pieces of rubble were scattered on the ground, as if the base had been swept by a typhoon. The slash marks and dents on the walls were strikingly alarming, with a faint scent of blood lingering in the air.

The first thing that caught Shinfuru’s eye was a female corpse. She immediately recognized who it was.

In the corner, a figure stood up. One of its arms seemed fractured and hung down limply.

Su Xiao walked out from the dark corner, blood dripping from his fingertips.

Upon seeing Su Xiao in this state, Shinfuru instinctively took a few steps back. Her instinct told her to run!

From the shadows, another large figure rose, blocking the exit.

Shinfuru forced a smile, swallowing hard.

"Could it be done in stages for healing?"

Su Xiao was seriously injured, and with his constitution, if he were to bite Shinfuru for healing while gravely wounded, too much healing might kill Shinfuru.

Su Xiao ignored Shinfuru. He pulled back the clothing on Shinfuru’s shoulder and bit into her fair back.

"Ah~"

Shinfuru let out a high-pitched scream, and about five seconds later, her body began to soften. Ten seconds later, she collapsed to the ground with a thud.

Just ten seconds ago, Shinfuru was full of vigor, but after giving Su Xiao a ’boost,’ she almost fainted.

Crack, crack...

Su Xiao began to realign his fractured ribs, a process he was already quite familiar with. Even though it still hurt a lot, at least the realignment was precise.

Su Xiao looked at his left arm. Although Shinfuru could heal his injuries, his shoulder was severely fractured, and that couldn’t be healed merely with Shinfuru’s life energy.

The bone fractures in the upper arm had healed, but the shoulder bones were dislocated, which required manual adjustment.

Su Xiao grabbed his left arm.

Crack.

Cold sweat dripped from Su Xiao’s forehead as he attempted to lift his left arm with no response...

Shinfuru, who was drowsy, became much more alert, startled by Su Xiao.

Crack, crack...

Su Xiao continued trying to realign his left arm, much like scenes from martial arts films. After about five minutes of ’meticulous treatment,’ Su Xiao made an important decision to ask Obito and others whether they might be proficient in aligning arm bones, as he wasn’t particularly skilled in this—a task more complex than dealing with rib bones.

An hour later, in the Akatsuki Organization’s underground base, Su Xiao, Obito, Kisame Hoshigaki, Sasuke, and Deidara sat around the stone table again.

This stone table, known for enduring torment, now had only about a third of its space left intact.

"Kisame, about this incident..."

Obito’s voice was low, and he was in a foul mood. An hour ago, someone told him to roll out, and he actually did roll out; it was quite a disgraceful affair.

"It was my negligence."

Kisame remained calm and looked at Su Xiao.

"Let’s leave the matter as it is, that woman came looking for me. She would find ways to infiltrate my surroundings."

There was little point in holding Kisame accountable now, as the event had concluded. Either he should let it go, or he should clean it up altogether—fighting Kisame to the death or ending it here.

At this moment, Su Xiao was using bandages to fix his left arm, wrapping them around his arm and neck. The fact was, these rough men in the Akatsuki Organization didn’t know how to set armbones; a professional Medical Ninja was needed.

Shinfuru could handle it, but after providing Su Xiao with a ’boost,’ she couldn’t even stand. And adjusting before healing wasn’t feasible either, as Su Xiao’s left arm was severely fractured, making it worse otherwise.

"There is a famous Medical Ninja in Grass Country. I’ll find a way to bring him over; it shouldn’t take more than two days."

Kisame nodded at Su Xiao before getting up and walking out of the base.
