Kokushibo's voice was exceptionally clear in the silent night.
He could sense that the seemingly ordinary human before him contained a boundless power, vast as the cosmos, which he completely failed to comprehend.
This feeling was countless times more intense than what he had felt four hundred years ago when facing his younger brother, Yoriichi Tsugikuni, who shone like the sun!
This brought him a long-lost... excitement.
"Oh? Have they finally arrived?"
Hansen slowly opened his eyes on the rock.
He stood up and stretched, his joints popping with a series of crisp cracks.
"Hmm, all three came at once. Not bad. Saves me the trouble of looking for them individually."
His gaze swept over Kokushibo, Doma, and Akaza, as if he were looking at three pieces of trash waiting to be disposed of.
Then, he crooked a finger at the three Upper Rank Demons.
"Don't waste time on those small fry."
"The three of you, come at me together."
Silence fell across the field the moment he spoke.
The Pillars all widened their eyes, wondering if they had misheard.
Have them come at him together?
These were the Upper Ranks Top Three!
Any one of them possessed the terrifying strength to easily wipe out every swordsman below the rank of Pillar!
This man actually intended to fight three against one?
Was he confident, or simply arrogant?
"Ah ha ha ha ha! Interesting! This is too interesting!" Doma was the first to burst out laughing. He covered his mouth with his fan, shaking with mirth. "Sir, you certainly know how to joke. But I like your guts."
He looked toward Shinobu Kocho and licked his lips: "Before that, can you let me play with this lovely young lady for a while?"
"Shut up, Doma." Akaza interrupted him coldly. He shot Doma a look of disgust, then turned his attention to Hansen, his eyes filled with the fury of being disrespected. "Human, don't be so arrogant! The strong should be respected!"
"Destructive Kill: Disorder!"
Before his words even finished, Akaza stomped hard, and the ground instantly cracked!
He transformed into a blue afterimage, instantly crossing dozens of meters, and punched toward Hansen!
This punch was incredibly fast, creating a sonic boom in the air!
Facing an attack powerful enough to level a small hill, Hansen didn't even bother to dodge.
He simply stood still, his expression completely unchanged.
The violent punch wind vanished instantly, as if it had hit an invisible wall, about a foot away from his body.
Akaza's unstoppable fist also halted mid-air, unable to advance even an inch further.
Myriad Phenomenon Force Field.
"What?!"
Akaza's pupils contracted sharply. He felt his power dissipate, as if a clay ox had sunk into the sea, neutralized by an incomprehensible force of law!
"Too slow."
Hansen shook his head and casually waved his hand.
"Bang!"
Akaza felt an irresistible force strike him from the side. He flew horizontally like a kite with its string cut, crashing violently into the distant forest, snapping over a dozen large trees before finally stopping.
"Huh?" For the first time, the smile vanished from Doma's face.
He hadn't even clearly seen how Hansen had attacked.
"Blood Demon Art: Crystalized Princesses!"
He dared not be careless anymore. He immediately waved his golden fans, creating five ice crystal dolls identical to himself, which simultaneously rushed toward Hansen.
These ice dolls could not only use Blood Demon Arts of equal power to his own, but they were also extremely difficult to destroy.
However, Hansen merely glanced at them indifferently.
The lifelike ice dolls, radiating bone-chilling cold, melted without warning halfway through their rush.
