"Blood Demon Art: Raging Blood!!"
Within Shinichi body, invisible to the naked eye, every single blood vessel that once flowed peacefully now boiled violently.
The seething blood radiated astonishingly high temperatures like molten lava.
This terrifying heat activated every muscle, nerve and cell in Shinichi body, dramatically enhancing his speed and strength to their utmost limits.
Facing the Hand Demon putrid green arm hurtling toward him, Shinichi didn't evade.
Instead, he raised his fist and struck head-on. His slightly reddened knuckles collided violently with the palm—large enough to engulf Shinichi's entire head—in a brutal clash.
BAM!! CRACK!!
"ARGHHH!!"
After the dull thud of fist meeting palm came the distinct sound of shattering bone, followed by the Hand Demon agonized scream.
The putrid green arm that had clashed with Shinichi fist now twisted at a grotesque 180-degree angle, its pale bone fragments piercing through torn flesh as blood gushed freely from the wound.
Shinichi bared his fangs in a smirk.
This was only the beginning—he hoped this ugly demon would prove entertaining enough.
BAM! BAM! BAM! BAM!...
Shinichi stood firm as an unyielding cliff against the tide, his reddened fists striking relentlessly, leaving afterimages in the air as the Hand Demon countless arms lashed out in vain.
The Hand Demon now understood true torment.
Its opponent treated it like nothing more than a punching bag—each devastating blow shattered bones and splattered the ground with its dismembered limbs and black blood.
"DAMN YOU!! EAT THIS!" The Hand Demon shrieked.
Its last intact arm abandoned brute force, coiling like a serpent around Shinichi legs the instant he threw another punch.
Caught off guard mid-strike, Shinichi realized too late—his legs were already ensnared by the revolting green limb.
"The hell? Get this disgusting thing off me!!"
Disgust twisted his expression, the mere thought of that vile appendage touching him turned his stomach.
The Hand Demon only cackled in triumph, its bulbous yellow eyes narrowing into slits above its sickly green head—a sight so repulsive it sent chills down Shinichi spine.
"Kehhehheh! No way I'm letting you go, brat! Dunno how you survived this long on Fujikasane Mountain or learned human Breathing Styles, but remember—I'm the strongest demon here! Keh heh heh!!" it jeered.
Seizing the moment as Shinichi struggled, a dozen more putrid arms swarmed over him, layer upon layer, until his entire body disappeared beneath their suffocating grasp.
"Take this, arrogant runt! Keh heh heh!" The Hand Demon laughter turned manic as every muscle in its arms tensed to crush its prey.
Shinichi, trapped by countless arms, immediately felt the terrifying force pressing in from all directions, a force that sought to crush him alive.
At this moment, he had no space left to exert his strength.
Even the mightiest lion, once coiled by a powerful python, would lose all leverage and eventually be strangled to death.
Shinichi current predicament was akin to that of a lion tightly constricted by a python—seemingly cornered with no room to fight back.
Yet, his expression showed no panic.
Instead, a faint trace of excitement flickered across his face.
"Now this is getting interesting! Didn't expect this ugly freak to have some brains. Too bad it's not much." Even as Shinichi resisted the overwhelming pressure from all sides, he still found the time to mock the Hand Demon.
His words clearly reached the demon ears.
Rip!
Countless blood vessels burst across the Hand Demon yellow eyeballs and the filthy green arms bulged with veins.
Clearly, the demon was furious—more enraged than ever before, nearly matching its hatred for Sakonji Urokodaki.
"Arrogant, insolent, conceited, reckless little brat!! You really, really, really deserve to die!! You're just as disgusting, revolting, and hateful as that damned Sakonji Urokodaki!! I'll crush you!!"
The Hand Demon shrieked in a piercing voice, its wrath unprecedented.
Whoosh!!
All the filthy green arms erupted with their most terrifying strength.
Even two lions stuffed inside would have been reduced to a pulp in mere seconds.
But the enraged Hand Demon was horrified to discover that beneath its arms, it felt as though flames were burning.
A terrifying heat scorched its limbs and the temperature kept rising.
As the heat intensified, the fury in the demon eyes gradually faded, replaced by deepening terror and confusion.
"No! This can't be! It shouldn't be! Just some random brat! How can he be this strong?! Impossible! Who the hell are you!?"
BOOM!!
The moment the Hand Demon finished speaking, the mass of tangled green arms exploded.
Sticky flesh and shattered bones splattered in all directions as a bare-chested, muscular figure stood firm.
Between his perfectly defined muscles, crimson blood vessels pulsed, glowing like molten lava beneath his flushed skin.
His once pale complexion had turned fiery red, the veins resembling flowing flame patterns.
His right eye, already blood-red, now gleamed with an orange-red radiance akin to magma.
"Blood Demon Art: Raging Blood—Second Stage!"
His black-clawed fist clenched slightly as he raised his head, locking eyes with the Hand Demon.
Shinichi tongue instinctively flicked over his fangs.
The Hand Demon, meanwhile, looked utterly pitiful.
Its once fearsome, monstrous body was now in tatters, littered with severed limbs and mangled flesh.
Faced with Shinichi ever-growing aura, the demon was afraid—truly afraid. All traces of anger had vanished from its mind, replaced by boundless fear and cowardice.
"L-L-Lord..."
Before the cowering Hand Demon could even beg for mercy, Shinichi stomped the ground violently.
Using the recoil force, his body shot forward like a crimson flash, smashing into the demon with tremendous force.
BOOM!!
The Hand Demon massive frame was sent flying as if struck by a cannonball, crushing several thick trees in its path.
"HAHAHAHA! This is it! This is what I've been craving!" Shinichi roared, his entire body radiating terrifying heat as he stomped on the demon's torso.
His fists rained down in a frenzied barrage, each blow splattering gore in all directions.
Even as he brutally pummeled the demon, Shinichi kept screaming in exhilaration, his manic expression resembling someone high on drugs.
"Ugly freak! Show me what else you've got! Come on! Use your tricks now! Use them now! Or you'll die! You'll really die! HAHAHAHA!" Shinichi laughed hysterically.
