"Imperial Arms User?"
The four demons' expressions changed, but they weren't afraid.
They all had the record of defeating Imperial Arms Users with their bare hands.
"I didn't expect that an unfamiliar Imperial Arms User would infiltrate the Imperial Guard. That old stubborn guy is going to be in trouble now, hehehe, the minister will definitely like this news!"
The black-skinned, white-haired girl with a horse-headed figure laughed.
Zhu Tian, a burly man with a thick beard, slowly walked out, his fists clenched so tightly they cracked: "Let me weigh him first!"
"Be careful! This guy is a bit strange, he's very strong!"
Thorn looked at his deformed hand; if he hadn't been able to control his body, his fist would have been crushed by now.
"Strong? Hahaha, I like strong opponents the most!"
Zhu Tian grinned, a hint of excitement on his face.
The four demons were the pinnacle of humanity, and he was the strongest among them in terms of strength.
Boom!
Zhu Tian pushed off with his foot, his body shooting out like a cannonball, instantly reaching Aoki. He unleashed a flurry of punches, filling the field of vision with a blur of motion.
"Imperial Fist Temple Hundred-Fist!"
"Impressive physique indeed." Aoki's eyes gleamed with admiration.
In the transparent world, Zhu Tian's muscles and veins were clearly visible.
In terms of physical strength alone, these four were even stronger than the Pillars.
As demons, they might even possess Upper Moon-level power.
Speaking of which , he had been racking his brains trying to find enough strong individuals to fuel his own power-ups.
Now, thinking about it, the Imperial Fist Temple seemed like a good option.
The Imperial Fist Temple had long been colluding with the Ministers.
They worked together, with the Imperial Fist Temple training henchmen and private soldiers for the Ministers in exchange for benefits and privileges.
And those trained by the Imperial Fist Temple were all martial arts masters, possessing exceptional physiques and fighting skills.
As resources for upgrading, a master from the Imperial Fist Temple might be more suitable than a Teigu user.
Suppressing these thoughts, Aoki mentally visualized Zhu Tian's next move. His figure flashed, directly passing through the barrage of punches, his palm piercing out like lightning.
*Thud!*
The palm pierced through Zhu Tian's chest, exiting his body, covered in blood, dripping and splattering onto the ground.
Zhu Tian's movements abruptly stopped, his face filled with disbelief as he stared at Aoki. His lips moved, but his breath rapidly weakened.
Aoki withdrew his hand, casually injecting a wisp of blood into Zhu Tian's body, then tossed him into the alternate dimension, thinking to himself,
"Humans are easier to deal with.
Look at what he's faced since coming to this world.
First Esdeath, then one terrifyingly powerful Super Dangerous Species after another.
He's been fighting the highest level of combat in the world."
The three demons watching the spectacle were all stunned, their faces turning extremely grim.
They had considered the possibility of Zhu Tian losing.
His opponent was a Teigu user.
Although they had defeated Teigu users before, they were well aware of how difficult they were to deal with.
However, Zhu Tian's defeat was so quick and so brutal, even costing him his life, which completely exceeded their expectations.
In terms of physical strength and power alone, Zhu Tian was the strongest among them, yet he was punched through the body and had his heart crushed.
Most importantly, the enemy didn't use a Teigu, there wasn't even any physical contact; he simply took a step forward, threw a punch, and killed Zhu Tian.
Their combat experience was incredibly rich, and they knew very well that this was the most terrifying aspect.
Zhu Tian's moves had been completely seen through!
The opponent wasn't just a Teigu user; his own strength was equally terrifying!
"Attack together!"
Thorn no longer hesitated.
He had sensed something was wrong from their first exchange.
They had intended for Zhu Tian to test them further, but instead, it directly cost him his life.
Both Ma Tou and Suzuka were slightly startled.
The Four Demon Rakshasa joined forces against a common enemy?
How long had it been since such a thing had happened?
However, recalling the scene of Zhu Tian being punched through the chest, they weren't surprised.
This man was indeed the most dangerous opponent they had encountered in recent years.
The three immediately sprang into action, forming a triangle around Aoki.
Thorn swung his arms, which seemed made of rubber, suddenly extending. Suzuka spread her fingers and swung them down at Aoki from a distance, her nails growing rapidly into five sharp blades.
Ma Tou's wheat-colored skin was drenched in sweat, which he flung towards Aoki.
The three held nothing back, unleashing their full power from the outset, their eyes fixed on Aoki.
The next moment.
*Thud!
* Three sharp whips pierced the foreheads of all three simultaneously.
Before they could even show fear, their consciousness sank into darkness.
Strands of blood flowed from the whips into their bodies, causing the three to convulse unconsciously, their faint life force reviving.
Dragging the corpses to his feet, Aoki picked them up one by one and tossed them into the alternate dimension.
The stronger a person is, the longer it takes to become a demon.
It took Kokushibo, Tsugikuni Mikatsu, three whole days to transform into a demon.
Judging by physique alone, the Four Demon Kings of the Rakshasa were even stronger than Mikatsubo back then; they wouldn't wake up anytime soon.
As for the three dying so quickly
, Aoki wasn't surprised at all.
First, his strength far surpassed that of the Four Demon Kings.
He had basically figured out that among humans in this world, only Esdeath was stronger than him.
Second, he had the advantage of being caught off guard.
He knew everything about the Four Demon Kings, while they knew nothing about him, especially about the whips—an attack method completely inhuman.
Combined, the instant kill of the three was not unexpected.
The infamous Four Demon Rakshasa vanished from the world in the blink of an eye, leaving only traces of blood on the ground—an ending no one had anticipated.
Aoki looked up.
Ahead stood a magnificent palace.
Similar palaces were numerous within the imperial palace complex; he hadn't noticed anything unusual about them before.
However,
with the Four Demon Rakshasa here, could Ernest be in this palace?
Without much thought, Aoki walked directly towards the palace.
Boom!
He kicked out, and the palace doors instantly swung open.
Instantly, everyone looked over, their faces displaying a mixture of anger, fear, and curiosity.
Aoki ignored their reactions, his gaze sweeping across the room.
He didn't see Ernest.
A middle-aged man with a effeminate air stormed towards Aoki, shouting, "Who are you? How dare you force your way into the palace! This is…"
Aoki reached out, grabbed the man by the neck, and lifted him up.
"Is the minister here?"
The middle-aged man's anger vanished instantly, and he stammered, "No! The minister isn't here. I was just being rude. I apologize to Your Excellency. Please, have mercy and spare my life."
Aoki casually tossed him aside.
This man's muscles were flabby, his steps unsteady, and his physique was worse than an ordinary person's; he wasn't even qualified to be upgrade material.
