378: Even if they join forces, they can't stop a single blow

Crack!

A brand-new ice sculpture appeared before everyone; in less than three seconds, Shi Jingmo had already been sealed inside a massive block of ice.

A man wearing the Aquarius golden saint cloth walked slowly from the end of the street and said in a somewhat cold tone, "Everyone, be careful. My ability can only Seal him for a short while. If you still want to defeat him, you need to use your strongest power and attack with all your might!"

"Degel..."

Sisyphus couldn't help but smile bitterly, "Actually, we didn't intend to kill him!"

"I didn't intend for you to kill him either!"

Degel of Aquarius shrugged and said, "The problem is, if you don't use your full strength, it's very likely that you will be the ones killed!"

Crack!

No sooner had he finished speaking than the massive ice block suddenly cracked, and countless golden rays of light burst forth from the fissures. Subsequently, the huge ice sculpture instantly turned into countless ice crystals and vanished in the blink of an eye.

At this moment, the Golden Saints finally realized that the person before them was simply someone they could not contend with in their current state.

Shi Jingmo looked around calmly and suddenly smiled, "I have a question I would like to ask everyone!"

Everyone exchanged glances, and Sisyphus stepped forward and said, "Ask. As long as we can answer, we certainly will!"

"Heh, this question was actually asked by my Master the first time we met... Hmm, it's actually very simple. Have you few... or rather, have all of you truly seen Athena, Your Highness, with your own eyes?"

Everyone's breath hitched. Sisyphus's breathing became extremely heavy, and he said with some difficulty, "What... what are you trying to say?"

"Heh, nothing!"

Shi Jingmo chuckled, "Your reaction is about what I imagined... Since that's the case, you have your beliefs, and I have my pursuits. I can only tell you that I have not betrayed the Goddess; it's just that I am living in my own way... Hmm, make your move. I will wait for you all to attack with your full strength... That way, I can at least let you lose with some dignity!"

The Saint Seiya looked at each other. Although they didn't know why Shi Jingmo was being so arrogant, Degel had said before that if they didn't use their full strength and join forces, they might be the ones to die!

Immediately, led by Sisyphus, the Saint Seiya unleashed their strongest techniques almost simultaneously.

Sisyphus of Sagittarius did not hesitate; the Arrow of Light in his hand emitted an extremely blinding radiance. The golden feathered arrow trembled continuously as endless power from his Universe was compressed, condensed, and focused on the tip of the arrow... This technique is called Chiron's Light Impulse!

Albafica of Pisces extended his right index finger, and tiny blood vessels suddenly appeared at his fingertip. Subsequently, a thin sword of blood shot out like a laser, blooming in mid-air like a rose. Countless blood-red spikes gushed forth and bloomed, forming an even larger flower... This was his strongest technique, an upgraded version of Crimson Thorn, named Bloody Thorn!

Manigoldo of Cancer also extended his right index finger, gathering specks of black light. A strange, completely invisible wave spread out toward Shi Jingmo. There was no sound, no effect visible to the naked eye, but the eerie power was absolutely chilling. This was the strongest technique of the Cancer Saint Seiya, capable of sending people directly into Reincarnation... Praesepe Underworld Wave!

Degel of Aquarius joined his hands in the shape of a water pitcher and suddenly aimed at Tang Ku. Seven-colored auroral freezing air poured out from the mouth of the pitcher, reaching nearly absolute zero. The cold air could instantly kill any living creature and could even freeze the souls of ordinary people. This was the final Profound Truth of Aquarius... Aurora Execution!

The last person, Regulus of Leo, finally made up his mind to use a technique he hadn't performed in a long time. It was a super-powerful Profound Truth released by combining the sacred power of the Twelve Palaces and concentrating the essence of humanity's strongest bodies, strength, spirit, and senses, merging the constellation techniques of all twelve Golden Saints into one. It was named: Zodiac Clamation!

The five Golden Saints unleashed their strongest techniques in an instant, aiming at Shi Jingmo, aiming at this former comrade-in-arms.

Their power was immense; almost any one of them possessed the ability to destroy a country.

However, facing this opponent of today, this former comrade-in-arms, even such power could not give them the slightest sense of security.

Shi Jingmo sighed helplessly, suddenly formed a mudra with his hands, and said calmly, "Since this matter cannot be settled amicably, I will no longer hold anything back..."

As the five different forms of power with varying attack capabilities descended, he finally made his move.

A massive Heavenly Dance Treasure Wheel appeared behind him, and waves of Buddhist chanting enveloped the entire street. Golden light suddenly appeared, and a gigantic dharma image slowly rose, supporting the Heavenly Dance Treasure Wheel. That scene made one feel a sense of awe spontaneously rise from within their heart. Even the Saint Seiya could not be spared!

"Not good! This chanting contains a spiritual attack!"

Sisyphus couldn't help but tremble slightly. Before he could warn his companions around him, his eyes had already been struck by the golden light, and he could see nothing. Moreover, as the light penetrated deep into his body, his eyes, ears, mouth, nose, tongue... and even his sense of touch—all his senses were completely sealed off.

It wasn't just him; all the Saint Seiya who had attacked suffered the same fate.

However, in their minds, only the words "unbelievable" kept surfacing!

They never dreamed that Shi Jingmo's ability to deprive the five senses would become so strong—strong enough that they had been struck by the technique without having any ability to resist... And now it was no longer just the five senses; even their souls seemed to have been affected by some influence. Aside from still being able to think, they had lost all their senses, and as for what effect their own attacks had, they could neither see, hear, nor feel it!

"You may not be able to hear, you may not be able to see, you may not be able to feel, but I still must say one thing!"

The aura of Buddha Dharma on Shi Jingmo grew increasingly intense. All around him, the techniques unleashed by the several Saint Seiya actually stopped, hovering at a position only about half a meter away from him.

"This is a method I combined with my Master's Equal Straight Punch, integrating it into my Space of No-Thought... That's right, within this space, all power can be eliminated by an equal force and can never reach my side!"

Shi Jingmo waved his hand gently and said calmly, "I do not wish to kill you, but I cannot let you leave so easily... You should think carefully about what I said earlier!"

Bang!

Five figures traced a graceful arc and vanished into the horizon in the blink of an eye, disappearing without a trace.
