377: One against four, or five

Well, it was no wonder Hasgard was surprised; the Sagittarius, Leo, Pisces, and Cancer... four great Golden Saints were fighting for their lives to besiege the Virgo Golden Saint. This was rarely seen in any anime or manga, let alone in reality!

Moreover, although the battle between these five people looked like they were giving it their all, they consistently kept their power within a certain range, seemingly afraid of destroying the surrounding residential buildings, and this made their combat appear even more ruthless and dangerous.

"Boom, boom, boom, boom..."

The sky was filled with golden light, sweeping around Shi Jingmo like lasers; this was one of the ultimate Moves of Leo Regulus, the Lightning Plasma.

Shi Jingmo was agile; it was as if he could see the opponent's attack trajectory and angle in advance, actually predicting it and dodging these multiple attacks. Then, his right palm would transform into a giant Buddha palm, directly blasting Regulus away. However, just as he had knocked back his opponent, the Pisces's bloody roses attacked again, with highly toxic blood flying everywhere, seemingly trying to invade his body through his skin.

Unfortunately for them, Shi Jingmo was already a different person from the past. After becoming a Disciple of Tang Ku, his cultivation of Buddha Dharma had reached its peak, and the Buddha light on his body was already enough to make him immune to all poisons.

He took Albafica's attack head-on, wanting to throw his opponent out of the battlefield, but unexpectedly, the temperature around him suddenly dropped, and thick Death Qi burst out around him. Countless pale Soul fires suddenly hovered beside him—roughly estimated, there were at least dozens—and immediately, these flames violently exploded, submerging Shi Jingmo in the explosive firelight.

This was the special ability of Cancer Manigoldo, the Praesepe Soul Burial Waves!

However, a Buddha statue glowing with a faint light suddenly stood up behind Shi Jingmo, its face actually ninety percent similar to Tang Ku's. These corpse gases suddenly lost their effect, turning into fly ash and disappearing into the air.

"Hum!"

A shadow flashed by; it turned out to be countless golden arrows shot over, but they were grabbed by the Buddha statue behind Shi Jingmo and crushed into powder.

"Light Pulse!"

Sisyphus's figure was like a bolt of lightning, cutting directly into the Dharma image, and he attacked Shi Jingmo with a punch.

"Kanmu..."

A syllable of unknown meaning was uttered from Shi Jingmo's mouth. He held the Fudo Myoo seal with both hands, divine light erupting from his eyes. That pulse-like light attack was instantly bounced back. Sisyphus was shocked and, before he could react, was already blasted away by his own attack.

However, here, another golden figure suddenly appeared beside Shi Jingmo, continuing to launch attacks with a series of sharp strikes; it was none other than Regulus, who had been blasted away at the beginning.

As the legendary strongest Leo Saint, his combat power could absolutely be described as unparalleled. After all, he was too young, a full generation lower than Shi Jingmo and the others, but he was the one most skilled at fighting among these people!

This kid was a combat Genius, even able to imitate the enemy's Moves during the battle and counterattack with them, sometimes even more powerfully than the original Move.

Radamanthys and Violet of Hell had both been defeated by him because of this.

And what was even more impressive about this guy was that he could, with the strength of one person, execute the Move once banned by the Goddess Athena, the legendary "Athena Exclamation"!

That's right, a Move that originally required three Golden Saints to complete, he finished by himself, and the power was no worse than when three people combined.

Of course, there was an even more outrageous feat... this guy had once created an ultimate technique called the Roar of the Twelve Zodiacs!

Listen to this name, how arrogant and domineering it was!

Once this Move was unleashed, it would possess the essence of humanity's strongest body, strength, spirit, and senses, combining the constellation ultimate techniques of the twelve Golden Saints into one to create the strongest killing Move!

In other words, this Move was comparable to the attack power that could only be achieved by the Twelve Palaces Saints joining forces and raising their Cosmo to the limit!

Who could imagine that a guy less than twenty years old actually possessed such powerful strength.

However, this power, in front of Shi Jingmo, actually became devoid of any advantage.

From Lightning Plasma to Plasma Speed Fist, and then to Athena Exclamation, all were steadily received by Shi Jingmo, and quite easily and comfortably at that.

This made Regulus almost break down, because the Move "Roar of the Twelve Zodiacs" was too powerful and could easily cause larger-scale destruction in the surroundings, so he dared not use it now. However, if he didn't use this Move, it was completely impossible for him to take down the opponent in front of him.

"Uncle Shi Jingmo is the real combat Genius... I'm starting to doubt my own life!"

The battle was in full swing; the four Golden Saints took turns, fighting Shi Jingmo in an inextricable struggle. The terrifying power was compressed into a street less than five hundred meters long. The bricks and stones on the ground, wherever they passed, turned into countless gravel, then into countless sand, and finally into soil, being trampled harder and harder... Looking closely, one would find that the ground had sunk by a full half meter.

Hasgard smacked his lips and thought to himself: "Good heavens, even if I wanted to help, I couldn't get a hand in... In just a few short months, I didn't expect Shi Jingmo's progress to be even greater than mine... No, he's much stronger than me, and he still hasn't used any ultimate Move until now... This guy has been fighting so leisurely for so long and still hasn't used his full strength... Is he a monster? Hmm, speaking of which, should I really join the Buddhist sect and try to study the Buddha Dharma?"

Shi Jingmo, who was at the center of the storm, was calm and composed throughout, maneuvering against them.

In fact, he was now completely a bit absent-minded, constantly thinking about the battle between Erlang Shen and the Ghost King earlier. At the same time, he went over the actions and Moves of all the Saints fighting him in his mind, and his train of thought was gradually becoming clear. However, it always felt like there was a transparent film, making it visible but not clear; he could see it almost clearly, but he couldn't touch it...

"Hmm... what is it? What is the... Dao that belongs solely to me!"

As this thought flashed through his mind, Regulus, who was constantly attacking, suddenly leaped into the sky like a giant flea, seemingly trying to dodge something, appearing very hurried. Immediately after, a bright blue beam of light blasted towards him from the end of the street, and countless ice crystals seemed to appear in the air. This beam of light refracted countless times on the ice crystals, and the extreme freezing air, like Lightning Plasma, fiercely enveloped Shi Jingmo.

"Diamond Dust... Zero Light!"
