I survived by drawing cards after being transported to One-Punch Man.

"This awful place is freezing cold, when will we be able to go back?"

"I don't know. I have a wife and children waiting for me. These damned aliens."

Two soldiers leaned against the city wall, embracing each other in sorrow.

"Stop chatting, hurry up and finish your patrol so we can go back to camp and warm up. This awful weather is killing us."

A soldier walked up and spoke, followed by a ten-man squad.

"Wait, Captain, look, isn't there someone under the city wall?"

One of the soldiers in the squad spotted Lin Yu at the foot of the city wall.

"Is someone... a member of another race?"

"It's a bit hard to see clearly, it doesn't look like it, the clothes they're wearing are very thin."

"Thin clothes? They're still alive despite the cold. They might be experts sent by the alien race. Go and call the other teams over."

The squad leader beckoned to the soldiers behind him to call for reinforcements. He had seen experts from other races before, and ordinary soldiers were like lambs to the slaughter.

On the city wall, a dozen soldiers holding longbows aimed at Lin Yu.

"You aliens, stop here!" the squad leader roared.

"Huh? Shouldn't you be asking about my identity? Why are you treating me like an alien right away?" Lin Yu had a demon-possessed figure hanging on his back, which looked completely out of place with his thin clothes.

The squad leader remained silent for a few seconds.

"The war is now critical. Anyone without a proper identity shall be treated as a foreigner. Fire!"

With a furious shout from the squad leader, the soldiers around him released their fully drawn bows, and more than a dozen arrows shot towards Lin Yu.

Seeing the arrow flying towards him, Lin Yu raised an eyebrow, his body remaining completely still as the arrow shot towards him.

"Ding! Ding! Ding!..."

The arrow only struck Lin Yu, making a sound, but there wasn't a single wound on Lin Yu's body, not even a white mark.

An attack from an ordinary person wouldn't even be considered a tickle.

"You are all very capable and excellent in the Imperial Army. You are indeed worthy of being her subordinates, but I am not happy."

As Lin Yu's words echoed in the air, the soldiers on the city wall felt a sense of fear.

To block their arrows with their bodies without sustaining any injury, they must be either Teigu users or non-human beings from the Imperial Fist Temple or something similar. No matter which one, they were no match for them.

Lin Yu reached out and touched the ancient city wall. The wall was very high and imposing, a symbol of the empire's indestructibility.

Lin Yu took a deep breath, stepped back slightly, clenched his fist, and struck the city wall.

"boom!!!"

With a deafening roar, the city wall began to shake, and cracks spread rapidly.

The soldiers' faces showed horror; they couldn't believe what they were seeing—someone had actually broken down the city wall with their bare hands.

The city wall, unable to withstand Lin Yu's force, collapsed with a deafening roar, sending dust and bricks flying everywhere. Lin Yu stood amidst the ruins, watching the soldiers running down from the city wall.

"Go call for backup? Go call for backup! Hurry up!"

The squad leader roared and, along with other squad members who had just arrived, surrounded Lin Yu with long weapons.

Watching these soldiers' legs tremble uncontrollably, their weapons wobbling precariously in their hands.

"Is it really a good thing to serve a corrupt empire like this?"

Lin Yu drew his Demon-Binding Technique, intending to clash with the soldiers.

"Stop it all!"

A clear female voice rang out, and the soldiers surrounding Lin Yu immediately put away their weapons and straightened their backs.

A figure pierced through the howling wind. She wore a distinctive white military uniform that accentuated her tall figure, and her blue hair cascaded down to her waist like a waterfall, dancing wildly in the wind.

The ultimate sadistic queen, Esdeath, makes her debut.

"What happened? Even the city walls have collapsed." Esdeath's tone was somewhat cold.

"Report! General Esdeath, we have discovered a suspected alien expert. It was he who broke through the city wall with a single punch."

The squad leader immediately bowed and replied in a respectful tone.

"An expert from another race?" Esdeath looked Lin Yu up and down; his thin clothes revealed his perfect physique.

"Yes, this guy not only broke through the city wall with one punch, but even our arrows couldn't do any damage."

The squad leader recounted the entire situation from the moment Lin Yu was discovered until now, including Lin Yu's complaint.

"You did a great job. You have such awareness. Go to the quartermaster department to receive your award."

"Thank you for the reward, General."

The squad leader, who had received Esdeath's reward, immediately beamed and respectfully stepped aside.

"Alright, now, how should I deal with you, this 'expert from another race'?"

Esdeath stared intently at Lin Yu with sharp eyes, then swiftly drew her slender sword from her waist.

“Going against me is not a wise choice.”

"An interesting enemy."

Esdeath moved swiftly and agilely, charging towards Lin Yu with her sword drawn.

Lin Yu reached out and created a telekinetic barrier in front of him.

Ding!

The rapier struck the telekinetic barrier, but it couldn't break through. However, the impact dispersed the snowflakes around them.

"Interesting, it's impossible to break through."

"Pretty impressive, better than Fubuki's little pebbles."

Seeing Lin Yu's nonchalant, "Come on, if you dare" expression, Esdeath's lips curled up, and a blue icy light flashed in her eyes. A powerful opponent was truly exciting for her.

"Then, take this move."

A large number of ice spikes instantly condensed in front of Esdeath, and the ice spikes condensed and grew larger, attacking Lin Yu from all directions.

Lin Yu remained unhurried, extending his hands to form a circular telekinetic barrier that enveloped him.

"Clap!"

The ice spikes slammed into the barrier and shattered, sending ice shards flying everywhere.

Lin Yu then kicked Esdeath in the waist.

boom!

Lin Yu felt a jolt in his calf; he hadn't kicked anything soft, but rather felt like he'd kicked a wall.

Click.

The ice wall that appeared in front of Esdeath shattered instantly.

“This power…”

Esdeath's face darkened, but a flush appeared on her cheeks the next second. This was the excitement of encountering a strong person, someone who could rival her.

At this moment, Lin Yu's demonic possession slashed towards Esdeath. Esdeath took a step back, and instantly a meter-thick ice wall rose from the ground.

An ice wall formed instantly, and Lin Yu's sword came flying straight at him.

"Zheng!"

The meter-thick ice wall was cleaved in two, and Esdeath also distanced herself from Lin Yu.

Esdeath then brought her hands together, and a flash of white light appeared at her fingertips.

Esdeath clasped her hands together, and white light shone from her fingertips.

"Ice Crystal Instant Kill"

Several times larger than before, ice spikes appeared around Esdeath, not only larger in size but also several times more numerous.

"Although I don't know where you come from, you are definitely not from the northern alien race. The northern alien race is not worthy of having a strong person like you."

Esdeath swung her arm, and a barrage of ice spikes shot forward.

Facing the ice spikes shooting towards him, Lin Yu wielded the Demon Embrace sword with the ferocity of a storm, each swing precisely striking the incoming ice spikes.

The sword tip struck the ice spikes with a crisp sound, and the ice spikes shattered under his sword, turning into countless ice shards that scattered all around.

Lin Yu knew that Esdeath had more than just this one trick up her sleeve. She hadn't even used any of her techniques yet, such as Mahapadma, Ice Knight, Ice Storm General, summoning ice balls that blotted out the sky, or the move that wiped out tens of thousands of enemy soldiers. Lin Yu wanted to test whether the Imperial Arms could harm him first, rather than directly taking Esdeath's ultimate move. He didn't want to fail miserably.
