Chapter 105: Encounter with Hantengou
---
Kanae, Shinobu, Kanao , and Mitsuri went home to visit their families.
After arranging to meet them in the jungle later, Aoki wandered around the streets alone.
Familiar streets, familiar shops, and even familiar people.
Unconsciously, he found himself at the location of the Yehime society. However, the once-luxurious building was now gone, leaving only an empty lot.
"Has it been demolished?" Aoki muttered to himself. Mitsuri had not mentioned this, so it must have happened after she left.
An old man passing by interrupted, "Young man, are you talking about the Yehime society?"
Aoki nodded, "Yes, I remember it was still here when I came last year."
The old man looked disgusted. "That Yehime society was not a good thing. On the surface, it was an art club, but it was actually a den of abuse built by the Fujita family, which killed countless girls. It was dirtier than my toilet!"
What an apt analogy!
Aoki praised inwardly and asked, "What happened next? Why was the Yehime society demolished?"
"More than half a year ago, the Yehime society was destroyed and the Fujita family was ruined. However, those crimes were not the main reason for the demolition."
The old man said mysteriously, "It is said that the Yehime society was destroyed by a person. That person was a messenger sent by God. The Yehime society was hated by the gods. No one wanted to take over, so it had to be demolished in the end."
"God's messenger?"
Aoki's expression was subtle.
Given the situation with Muzan, even if there are gods, demons are probably despised by them.
The old man changed the subject and said with a smile, "By the way, young man, how old are you this year? Are you married? I have a granddaughter who is 28 years old. Her beauty is well-known in all of Azabu. She is currently looking for a suitable marriage. I think you have a good appearance and temperament. Do you want to meet my granddaughter?"
Aoki: "?"
Good grief.
You're here for a blind date.
However, looking at your appearance, it's hard to believe you have a granddaughter as beautiful as a fairy.
"Sorry, uncle, I already have a fiancée."
Aoki said perfunctorily and left in a hurry. When facing the siege of Muzan and the Upper Moons, the pressure was not this great.
"Where to go next? Should I go to the Fujita family?"
Aoki was pondering when a figure appeared in his vision.
It was a hunched old man, walking slowly against the wall. There was a huge tumor on his forehead. His face was aged, his posture cautious, and his body trembling.
At first glance, this was a weak and inconspicuous ordinary old man.
"Hantengu?"
Aoki almost blurted out.
This image was too familiar. Moreover, the breath of this hunched old man seemed weak, but in reality, it was complex, elusive, and very strange.
He happened to run into one of the only two remaining Upper Moons by chance.
This was definitely the best luck in his demon-hunting career.
Hantengu was keenly aware of two different gazes. He turned his head and shuddered.
"Defector?!"
Bang!
Without any hesitation, his body broke apart.
This was not suicide.
Hantengu's broken body quickly regenerated into four younger demons who looked very similar but had completely different temperaments.
In their eyes, the words "Upper Moon" and "Four" were engraved. In fact, the four words "joy, anger, sorrow, and pleasure" were engraved on the tongues hidden in their mouths.
"Huh, you want to escape?"
Aoki had already opened the "transparent world" and clearly captured all the changes in Hantengu's body.
His figure flashed and appeared in front of a piece of Hantengu's exploded flesh, suddenly reaching out to grab it.
The rotten flesh suddenly turned into an old man the size of a mouse, very similar to Hantengu before the split.
Hantengu's blood demon art is complex and powerful.
Including the main body, he has a total of eight bodies. Usually, he is a timid old man with a tumor on his head and no words in his eyes. After splitting, he can transform into five demons: four demons of joy, anger, sorrow, and pleasure, and the true body, a timid demon with a body like a mouse.
The timid demon can mimic and transform into a tall and strong hate demon. After the angry demon devours the joyful, sorrowful, and pleasurable demons, he can transform into the most powerful hateful demon.
Hantengu's different clones can also use various types of attacks such as lightning and sound waves. In terms of the richness of blood demon art functions, Hantengu is definitely one of the best.
However, among the Upper Moons, his weaknesses are also the most obvious.
His clones are not afraid of beheading and have rich abilities that can cope with various environments, but the original body, the timid demon, has no combat ability.
Gyutaro has weak hard power and the burden of Daki. They practice both combat methods, but neither is proficient enough. Hantengu has rich abilities but has a huge weakness in the original body.
Although they are all Upper Moons, there is still a relatively obvious gap between the lower three and the upper three among them.
"Ahhh!"
Hantengu let out a cry of shock and anger as his body was caught in Aoki's hand. His body swelled and turned into a tall hate demon. He clenched his fists and smashed toward Aoki.
Aoki's face was calm as he swept his arm.
Puff!
The upper body of the hate demon was torn off directly.
Although powerful, how could he compare with Aoki at this moment?
The four demons of joy, anger, sorrow, and pleasure also changed their faces.
They didn't understand why the defector locked onto the main body so quickly.
The last time they fought, they appeared directly in the form of Hateful Amber. Logically, the secret should not be exposed.
The angry demon did not hesitate and immediately began to devour the other three demons to transform into Hateful Amber. Only Hateful Amber could possibly fight against the defector.
Aoki didn't even look at them and pulled his arm back.
Puff!
The remaining half of the hate demon's chest was torn open directly, and an old man the size of a palm was forcibly pulled out by him.
"I caught you!"
"Let me go! Let me go!"
The timid demon screamed, "Why do you bully me? I am so pitiful, and you still want to hurt me. Do you have a conscience? Don't you feel guilty?"
"Guilty?"
Aoki showed a faint mockery on his face.
Hantengu stole, robbed, and killed people when he was alive. He did all kinds of evil and pretended to be a victim. After becoming a demon, there was still no change.
Everything was always someone else's fault. He would always be a victim.
The personalities of the Upper Moons are more twisted than the others, with the most serious ones being Doma, Upper Moon Two; Gyokko, Upper Moon Five; and Hantengu, Upper Moon Four!
Whether the other three are good or bad is not mentioned, but at least they were normal people before they became demons. These three were mentally twisted perverts even when they were alive.
The angry demon finally swallowed the other three demons and quickly beat the drum behind him. The huge wooden dragon broke out of the ground and bit Aoki.
"Too late"
Aoki ignored it, tightened his palm, and thought, " Devouring demon, Devour it for me!"
"No!"
Hantengu struggled.
However, his body was too weak to break free from the shackles of the " Devouring Demon," and his body was Devoured bit by bit.
The wooden Dragon opened its mouth and bit Aoki. But the next moment, it instantly turned into black smoke.
