374: Saints

"Heh, based on just you?"

Shi Jingmo chuckled, "Do you know what kind of team you are facing?"

Sisyphus smiled, "Of course I do. The Great Leader showed us your files!"

"You?"

Shi Jingmo narrowed his eyes, "It seems you really didn't come alone! Come out, I can already smell the vicious scent of a Leo!"

"Heh, Mr. Shi Jingmo is still so powerful... Hmm, I should say, even stronger than before!"

A young man wearing a golden saint cloth appeared before him; the Saint Cloth on his body was the legendary Leo.

"Regulus?"

Shi Jingmo looked at the young man in front of him in shock, "So you actually inherited the Leo Saint Cloth from your father, Ilias?"

"Yes, since I was a child, my father was training me with the goal of becoming a Golden Saint!" Regulus said with a wry smile, "Uncle Shi Jingmo, I don't want to fight you, but if you attempt to make any moves, we might end up as enemies!"

Shi Jingmo was silent for a moment, then said, "Your father was my best friend; I will not attack you!"

"That's why it's me who is blocking you!"

Regulus hovered in front of Shi Jingmo and said in a deep voice, "Uncle Sisyphus can just handle stopping them; I only need to take care of you!"

"So, Darwin has already calculated everything?"

Shi Jingmo said in a deep voice, "However, just based on you two, you might not really be able to stop us!"

Regulus said, "Then you are welcome to try. Anyway, this isn't Greece, so even if the city is destroyed, it's none of my business!"

Shi Jingmo fell silent. Although he didn't fear either of them, once the war started, a three-way melee would inevitably cause huge chaos, and it might even destroy Chang'an City.

"Heh, Shi Jingmo, you were so glorious when you fought me back then. How come you are being handled by a Junior now?"

A hearty voice came from the ground. Regulus and Sisyphus looked down and saw a tall, burly figure wearing a gray cloak standing behind the Disciples of Tang Ku, looking up at them with a playful smile.

"You are..."

Regulus couldn't help but frown slightly, "Why does your voice sound so familiar? Who are you?"

"Heh, good nephew, can't you even recognize my voice?"

This person took off the cloak, and the three figures in the sky instantly gasped. Sisyphus couldn't help but say, "Hasgard? You... we thought you were dead!"

"Hahaha, I'm not that easy to kill... Heh, kid, you've really made something of yourself now, daring to raise your fists against your uncles. It doesn't matter; Shi Jingmo is too embarrassed to attack, but I'm not. Anyway, the thing I love to bully most is useless Juniors like you!"

Bang!

Even when flying, his momentum was grand enough; his whole body was like a cannonball shot up, quickly hovering in front of the two people opposite him.

"Hey, monk, I'll help you take care of this kid. You just go and stop that show-off with the bow and arrow!"

Hasgard said bluntly.

"Has, what are you saying..." Sisyphus's mouth twitched, "When did I become the show-off you speak of?"

"Heh, you're not a show-off?"

Hasgard said disdainfully, "Wearing a golden outfit, holding a golden bow and arrow, looking handsome and cool—isn't that called showing off?"

Sisyphus suddenly turned his head away and curled his lips, "You're just jealous, aren't you!"

"Although I'm not as handsome as you, this burly figure is now the dream lover of countless pretty girls, unlike you, you pretty boy!" Hasgard retorted mercilessly.

"Hiss, long time no see, this guy has actually honed such a sharp tongue!"

Sisyphus couldn't help but say in a deep voice, "So you have also defected and joined the enemy?"

"Heh, not really. I just went to travel the world to hone my martial arts. It just so happens that I know a few friends who live in Chang'an City, and I can't bear to let you destroy this place!"

Hasgard laughed loudly.

Shi Jingmo curled his lips, "Why does this glibness of yours feel so familiar?"

"Heh, I learned it from your Master. Otherwise, everyone always loses out in verbal battles. So, I learned from the pain and decided to strike first. That's why this specialty of mine, this 'verbal cannon,' is called the First Move!" Hasgard said.

"This isn't a damn chess game!"

Veins popped on Sisyphus's forehead, "You appeared now just to oppose us?"

"Otherwise, what? Did you think I came for a vacation?"

Hasgard laughed, "To tell you the truth, I have mastered the true essence of martial arts. Now, none of you are my match... Hmm, except for this Virgo guy in front of me!"

With that one sentence, the situation instantly deadlocked. Upon hearing this, the people on the ground understood that this battle would not happen, so, led by Ksitigarbha, they quickly flew towards the imperial palace.

However, just halfway there, a huge sword light slashed across the sky. This sword light seemed to come from the Void Realm without any warning. Even Ksitigarbha, caught off guard, was taken by surprise. He barely managed to open his Dharma Image using his own reflexes, but unexpectedly, it only lasted for three seconds before the Dharma Image was shattered into fragments filling the sky.

Of course, the person who made the move was not simple either; he was able to stand there unscathed despite the backlash of the power.

"Capricorn Eldred?"

Shi Jingmo suddenly frowned, "No, that's not right. His consciousness is not in his body, but he can use the power of the Holy Sword just like usual... Could it be that he..."

"Heh, you guessed right!"

Sisyphus smiled, "He is currently controlling the dream of the entire city... Well, actually, he isn't the one controlling it; he himself is also being controlled by someone. To put it bluntly, his body is just a medium! Hmm, do you have any other questions? If not, then please come with us!"

"I do!"

Shi Jingmo suddenly laughed, "Why are you so sure I don't have any questions? That's right, because you are afraid... afraid that I might still have a way to counterattack, isn't that the logic?"

"Heh, even if you have a way, we are not afraid!"

Sisyphus chuckled, "You might not know, our mission is actually not to intercept and kill you, but just to block your path until the experiment ends! Actually, we can completely avoid conflict, right? Moreover, this time, we have mobilized our entire force. The Great Leader has summoned all the Saint Seiya under his command just to intercept you... So, you just need to watch quietly, no need to create extra complications!"

"Heh, what if I insist on creating some complications?"
