Chapter 622: A Vicious Battle is Coming

"How's it going?" Di Jun looked at Lu Pressure, who had brought the information, and asked, "Did those guys who appeared cause any damage to that Wandering Saint Monarch?" ”

"From the point of view of intelligence. ," Lu Jian raised his head and looked at Di Jun and said, "Father." It seems that our analysis is correct, those people did not cause any substantial harm to the Joyful Saint Monarch! Except for the destruction in a few places, Shen Han's children were not harmed much! ”

"How is this possible?" Di Jun snatched the information from Lu Quan's hand, looked at it himself, and said as he looked at it, "Could it be that those children of Shen Han are really so powerful?!" Although everyone has a good magic weapon, they shouldn't be able to integrate it so quickly! Those ancient demons also have their own means, don't they take advantage of it at all? ”

"Because they treat Shen Han as a soft persimmon." At this time, Kong Xuan walked in, looked at Di Jun and said, "You know it too." Those ancient demons, all of them are unruly guys. Not to mention joining forces, it's already good if there is no infighting! It is impossible for them to concentrate on attacking various targets, they will only do their own things and scatter to deal with Shen Han's children. ”

"That's right!" Di Jun nodded, "Those guys are simply a bunch of guys who don't have enough success and more than enough to lose!" It's already good that you didn't fight yourself first! ”

"But who is Shen Han? Is he so easy to mess with? Kong Xuan said lightly, "Let's not talk about him first, just take a look at the people around him, right?" Chang'e, Bixiao, Qiongxiao, and the well-known Athena and Mei Jia in the void, all of them have extraordinary strength! In addition, Yunxiao also intervened in this matter. I think you should know her strength! Coupled with the huge hidden combat power and strict organization of the entire Loose Legion, how could those people bargain? ”

"Joyful Saint Monarch......" Emperor Jun muttered the name, and his face became more and more gloomy.

Qin Xiang was very surprised, she didn't expect that she would encounter such a troublesome guy when she came out behind her father's back this time. Although she didn't know why this guy stopped in front of her, she directly told her that this guy in front of her was not easy to mess with!

"Uncle Blame, what are you doing in front of me?" Qin Xiang's eyes rolled and said in a playful voice.

If Shen Han heard his precious daughter's words here, he would deliberately squirt immediately. But the person on the other side didn't say anything at all.

The man was dressed in a red robe with a bull's nose, one foot on the ground, the other hanging from his waist, and an iron fan stuck in his waist. really deserves the title of "strange uncle", he is a waste of legends!

Waste, one of the mythical beasts, wastefulness is an evil ghost that brings disaster to people. Legend has it that he wore a red robe with a bull's nose, one foot on the ground, the other hanging from his waist, and an iron fan stuck in his waist. It is a divine beast of the same grade as the Green Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, Xuanwu and Qilin. It's just that he has a fierce and vicious temperament, and he can't get along with others, so he only hides in the Three Realms.

I don't know why he fell in love with Qin Xiang's purple jade gourd, this time he went out of the mountain to snatch the purple jade gourd in his hand and become his magic weapon!

"Miss!" Just when Wasted wanted to strike first, five men in bronze armor stopped in front of them, "Miss, let's go!" Let's stop him! ”

Among the five people in bronze armor, Qin Xiang knew the person he was. It seems that the previous name was very long, as if it was called Arisandro? Merrill? What do you think? Guario. Qin Xiang seemed to remember that his father had already changed his name for him, what was his name? Oh yes! It's called Seiya!

"Seiya, why are you here?" Qin Xiang looked at him and asked with a smile.

"Miss." Seiya respectfully knelt in front of Qin Xiang with four other bronze armor men and said, "We are Athena's Bronze Saint Seiya, and we have come out on the orders of the goddess and the god lord to clear out the enemies who have entered our territory!" ”

"Oh?" Qin Xiang nodded and looked at the other four Dao, "All up, right?" What's the name of the four of you? ”

"Purple Dragon!" The man with the long black color was the first to speak.

"Binghe!" The man next to him who was exuding cold air continued.

"Ikki!" The man in the back, who was full of arrogance, said next.

"My name is instant!" The last man, who looked very much like a woman, said softly.

"Huh?" Qin Xiang tilted his head and said, "I remember that Athena's mother's subordinates have very long names, why are your names so short?" Also, you seem to have learned the techniques of my Pangu clan, not those of the Saint Seiya! ”

"That's right, Miss!" Seiya hurriedly explained, "The five of us were personally selected and trained by the Divine Lord, and the original name was also very long, but we were given a new name by the Divine Lord!" The previous name, we have discarded! ”

"Oh." Qin Xiang nodded. She knew that except for the Pangu clan, other races were not very interested in names. You can change your name at any time, and if someone like your father helps to change it personally, they will use it unconditionally. And it will not be like the Pangu family, who always adhere to the "line does not change the name, and does not change the surname!" ”

And their skills were also taught by Shen Han himself, when he found the bronze saint warriors of these five constellations, Shen Han's funny personality made him have an idea, and he wanted to create a new myth by himself. To this end, he personally helped the five Saint Seiyas change their names and taught them some methods that they could not learn in the Saint Seiya Group. has become the most powerful Saint Seiya under Athena, and the most powerful Saint Seiya in the entire Void!

What Shen Han taught Pegasus Seiya was to improve the two moves of the Pangu clan, one was called "Pegasus Meteor Fist" and the other was called "Pegasus Comet Fist". The former is about speed, and the latter is about power. It was created by Shen Han after referring to Sun Wukong's attack method, and the power has also reached the realm of quasi-saints, and the general characters are really not their opponents!

The purple dragon of the Celestial Dragon, Shen Han created two moves for him according to the exercises of Xuankong. One is called "Lushan Shenglong Ba", which pays attention to the concentrated attack of instantaneous power; A move called "Lushan Hundred Dragons" pays attention to attacking a target at the same time with continuous force attacks, resulting in the hierarchy of attacks. It is also the power of the quasi-holy realm!

Cygnus's glacier, Shen Han is completely in Bi Xiao to find a changed method, one move is called "Diamond Star Fist" is to attack the enemy's part with frozen power, and the other is called "Goddess's Forgiveness", which is an improved version of Bi Xiao's magic method, attacking the enemy with extreme freezing, is a powerful and terrifying method!

Yihui in the Phoenix Constellation, Shen Han found a trick from Mei Jia to teach him, called "Phoenix Wing Tianxiang", and set off a high wind with fist pressure, causing a very strong destructive fighting skill; Another move is a fighting skill created by Shen Han based on the exercises he understands called "Phoenix Phantom Demon Fist", which strikes at the nervous system, makes the opponent hallucinate and loses his combat effectiveness!

Andromeda's Ah Xuan also teaches two tricks, one is an improved version of the exercise obtained from Dao Ji, called "Nebula Airflow", which is to produce cutting air convection and attack people! There is also a modified version of Qiongxiao's supernatural power called "Thunder and Lightning Wave", which is to use a thunderbolt-like attack to attack the enemy in a wide area!

Although what the five of them have learned is only an improved version. But Shen Han underestimated their perseverance and determination, and with their continuous hard work, all five of them were able to reach the cultivation of the Quasi-Saint Sixth Heaven! And the five of them completely controlled the "Five-Star Formation" that Shen Han specially helped them create, once they used their full strength, even ordinary saint-level figures would have to retreat!

"Have you talked enough?!" Wasted said viciously, "I met you today, and none of you can escape!" With my waste, none of you can protect anyone! ”

Qin Xiang just wanted to refute, but saw Seiya and the five of them all stopped between the waste and himself, and said resolutely: "Miss! Go back! Let's clean up this guy! ”

"Look for death!" The five people who were wearing bronze armor before meeting them didn't take themselves seriously at all, they roared angrily, raised their right hands and attacked with a straight fist.

"Smack!" He heard a crisp sound, and saw Seiya standing in front of him, grabbing the punch he threw with his palm. After being stunned for a moment, he became even more angry, and his other hand was clenched into a fist again, but it was easily taken by Seiya!

"Get out!" How can a wasted person stand an unknown junior who despises himself so much, and immediately mobilizes the true yuan of his whole body, and he drinks and speaks of Seiya and pops it out.

"Poof!" After all, Seiya was far less wasteful in terms of individual strength, and he only felt a stuffiness in his chest, and a fishy breath gushed into his throat, and he couldn't help but spurt out a mouthful of blood.

"How?" Zilong stepped forward and probed Seiya's body with his hand, and asked immediately without any external injuries.

"A little bit of a wound." Seiya waved his hand, stood up, and said, "It's no big deal. ”

"You ......" wasted to see that they completely ignored their own existence, and the anger can be imagined. Pointing to everyone in front of him, "You're all going to die!" All to die! ”

"Don't bother!" Yihui hurriedly said to a few people on his side, "Hurry up and form a 'five-star formation', we can't win this person alone!" ”

"Good!" The other four immediately took their positions and nodded in response.

And Qin Xiang just stood outside their attack range and watched, and was not prepared to make a move or escape. Although Seiya and the others really didn't want Qin Xiang to stay in this dangerous place, they were servants and couldn't command Qin Xiang. Second, the current situation does not allow for more nonsense on their part.

"Come on." I saw Seiya and the others standing in a fixed position, each holding a different seal on their hands. Immediately, a golden wire-like substance separated from the bronze armor on their bodies, connecting the five of them. And the composition is just like the pattern of the pentagram.

In fact, if it was a Saint Seiya who was Athena before, he would never have been able to form such a formation. Athena once ordered that if her subordinate Saint Seiya joined forces to deal with others in battle, even if she won, she would be expelled from the Saint Seiya team.

However, Athena's rule was known to Shen Han, and Athena was criticized in large numbers. After giving countless reasons and giving countless examples, Athena finally stopped asking her subordinate Saint Seiya to unite against the enemy. After Shen Han's personal teaching and countless drills, the five of them became the first group in the entire Saint Seiya team to adapt to the formation against the enemy, and also became the most powerful group in the entire Saint Seiya Legion.

"No wonder Daddy wants them to unite against the enemy." Qin Xiang, who was on the side, looked at the formation of the two sides in front of him, and muttered, "These five Saint Seiyas, no matter which one of them is taken out alone, will not be this wasteful opponent. But after the alliance, it was able to generate such a great force, at least it was not inferior to the other party. If you work well together, you have a good chance of winning! ”

"Interesting!" After looking at the posture of the five people, he smiled coldly, and released all his true yuan. Now the waste has regarded the five people on the opposite side as his real opponents, and it is worth using all his strength.

"Combo!" Seiya and the other five shouted in unison, their hands spread out from top to left and bottom, their wrists approaching, and the positions of all the objects in their palms were wasted.

Different energy balls appeared in each of the five people's hands, Seiya was golden, Purple Dragon was cyan, Binghe was white, Ikki was red, and Instant was purple! I saw that the five energy seekers were completely fused together in front of the waste, turning into a five-colored energy ball and rushing straight towards the waste.

Don't look at this seems to be very slow, in fact, it is only a matter of a moment, and the five-colored energy begged to bombard the wasted chest and left. And the waste didn't dare to be careless, and hurriedly raised the true yuan with both hands and blasted towards the energy ball.

But upon contact, Wasted immediately felt a huge destructive force coming from his hand. Wasted knew that he must not be careless, once he was not careful, he was very likely to be wiped out by this terrifying energy ball.

"Damn it!" Wasted scolded in his heart, "What is this? It's so powerful?! ”

For a while, Seiya and the other five people were in a stalemate with the waste, but the true element of the waste was much stronger, so the waste could wait for the five people to consume all their energy and be bounced back and destroyed by their own energy balls.

It's a pity that he completely forgot about Qin Xiang's existence, and saw that Miss Qin Xiang was walking towards him with a smile.

"Uncle Blame, you seem to have forgotten me!" Qin Xiang smiled and pointed to the waste.

"You ......" wasted and didn't dare to talk much, for fear that a distraction would make you go up in smoke.

"My dad always tells me." Qin Xiang ignored him, and only shook his head and said on the side, "To deal with the enemy, you must use unscrupulous means, there is no morality or morality, and there is no fairness or unfairness!" Any recorded legend is written by the victors, and the losers have no sympathy for them! ”

Wasted felt the coldness from the bottom of his heart, in his eyes, Qin Xiang was no longer a beautiful flower, naughty and cute little girl; Completely transformed into a femme fatale with a knife in her smile!

"I haven't used this sword much." Qin Xiang didn't care what he was thinking now, and a sword that exuded a monstrous murderous aura appeared in his hand, "I always feel that it is too murderous and not suitable for my girl's family." However, Daddy is right, a good baby is a baby who can make himself strong, and he doesn't care if he is too murderous! So, I decided to use it against you! ”

"What is this?" Wasted glanced at it from the corner of his eye, and immediately felt that he was in the middle of an ice cave, and a strong chill rushed from the soles of his feet to the top of his head, "Killing Immortal Sword!?" ”

"Break through the air with a sword!" Qin Xiang didn't plan to continue talking nonsense with him, and directly threw out a sword qi and rushed straight towards the wasted back.

"Ahh Wasted only felt a sharp pain in his back, and then the true element in his whole body leaked out of the damage to his back like a deflated balloon. Immediately after, the hands that had been blocking the five-colored energy ball could no longer gather any true element. The ball of energy began to slowly approach itself.

"I'm not reconciled!" The waste finally didn't resist the attack of the energy ball, and I saw that the five-color energy ball was quickly wrapped up in waste, and it seemed that the rolling five-color light was the five sharp blades, which wiped out all the wasted ** and souls.

"Whew!" Seiya and the others, after seeing that the waste disappeared, all collapsed to the ground, without any strength.

"It's amazing!" At this time, a golden-eyed, with a pair of wings, and a toned figure, seemed to wander down from the sky, draped in one-arm clothes, revealing one, and the clothes were fluttering. , looked at Seiya and the other five and said. She is Niki, the goddess of victory of the gods!

"Who are you?!" Qin Xiang looked at this woman vigilantly, although from her appearance, it was very likely that this woman was from the same clan of gods as Athena, but it was difficult to guarantee that she was their friend.

After all, although Shen Han was nominally Zeus's son-in-law, and the Pangu clan and the gods clan were also allies, Shen Han had opposed them several times. Even Athena was called a traitor by the gods, which shows that the relationship between the two sides is not good!

"Little girl." Nikki looked at Qin Xiang with a smile and said, "If you say that I am your elder by seniority!" You should call me Auntie! I'm very good friends with your mother Athena! ”

"Oh?" Qin Xiang's eyes rolled, and she immediately changed her smile and said, "I don't know what Auntie is called?" ”

"My name is Nikki!" Nikki smiled and said, "Don't worry, I won't do anything to you for Athena's sake!" You don't have to be so wary of me, if I were going to do you badly, you would have been taken down by me a long time ago!" ”

"Huh." Qin Xiang smiled, but the sword in his hand was always held tightly, "I don't know what happened to Aunt Niki?!" When did you get here? ”

"Just a moment." Niki glanced at the sword path in Qin Xiang's hand, "Okay, okay!" Your strength is not good, you can't do anything to me! I'm not going to deal with you, I'm just trying to catch these five little guys or go. ”

"They?!" Qin Xiang glanced at Seiya and the other five people on the ground, shook his head resolutely and said, "No!" They're Aunt Athena's men, you can't take them away! Besides, they saved me, and I can't just hand them over to you! ”

"What do you mean by giving it to me?!" Nikki smiled and said, "I'm Nikki, the goddess of victory. I'm just interested in these five little guys and won't hurt them! ”

"No way!" Qin Xiang's face turned pale, and he raised his Killing Immortal Sword and said coldly to Niki, "I can't let you take them away!" ”

"Can you stop me?" Nikki said with a smile.

"If you can't stop it, you have to stop it!" Qin Xiang said firmly.

"Little girl!" Nikki no longer had a smile on her face, and said with a cold face, "Don't think I really dare to do anything to you!" If it weren't for your father and mother, I would have killed you!" ”

"I know!" Qin Xiang said without giving in at all, "I'll bet you don't dare to do anything to me!" Otherwise, my father and mother will not let you go! ”

"You ......" Nikki killed together, but immediately calmed down again, and said with a smile, "Little girl, I just think these five little guys are good." I want to bring it back and help Athena teach them slowly! ”

"My Athena's subordinate......" a very crisp female voice came to me, "when do you need someone to help teach you?" ”

"Auntie!" Qin Xiang was immediately overjoyed when she heard the voice, and shouted happily to the place where the voice came from.

"Humph!" As soon as Nikki heard the voice, she knew something was wrong, and rushed to the five people who wanted to fall to the ground. In his opinion, Athena could take at least one Saint Seiya with him even if she came over immediately. It's just that I didn't expect that when I was about to rush to the side of the five saint warriors, a woman in white suddenly appeared in front of me. And the energy fluctuations that emanated from her body were not inferior to herself, and the killing intent that was completely inconsistent with her beautiful face surged towards Niki, making her stand still with a cold snort!

"Aunt May!?" Qin Xiang saw the person clearly, and shouted happily. Yes, this woman is none other than Meja, who came out with Athena. had long foreseen Nikki's move, and Meijia rushed to stop Nikki.

"Nikki." At this time, Athena also walked out, but she did not appear in the direction from which the voice came. Instead, he suddenly appeared beside Qin Xiang, and protected Qin Xiang behind him while talking, "You're embarrassed!" Bullying my five subordinates and my daughter! ”

"Sister Athena." Niki's face changed slightly, but she immediately calmed down, "You know, I'm here for our gods!" ”

"Alright, alright!" Athena smiled and said, "I know what you mean! But I'm here, and I'm sure you know the result, so let's go back! ”

"Who is this?" Nikki looked at Mejia and asked Athena with a smile, "Who is this sister?" So powerful? Looks like I'm so much better than Nikki! ”

"Huh." Athena was still smiling, and pulled Qin Xiang to Mei Jia's side and said, "She is my sister and my husband's wife!" ”

"Oh!" Nikki nodded and stopped talking.

"Your father called you this time, right?" Athena knew that Niki was a smart person and would not gamble when she had no chance at all, so she also asked with relief.

"Yes." Nikki nodded, "Come and see your new Saint Seiya!" Not to mention, it's really amazing! ”

"Of course!" Athena nodded proudly.

"However, doesn't my sister have any nostalgia for the gods at all?" Nikki stared at Athena and said, "Why don't you tell me about this new training method and let me take it back." Wouldn't it make our gods stronger? ”

"There is a proverb among the Pangu people." Athena shook her head with a smile and said, "The daughter who marries out, the water that spills out!" What's more, you know where the conflict between me and my father is! The most important thing is that this method was taught to them by my husband, not me! ”

"Oh!" Nikki didn't speak, and the words came to Shen Han, and she knew that there would be no result. "Then I'll go back!"

"Walk slowly!" Athena nodded, and watched Niki leave.

"Goddess!" At this time, Seiya and the others finally regained some strength and immediately knelt behind Athena.

"That's it!" Athena turned her head and looked at the five of them with a smile, "You guys are very good! Worthy of my Athena's Saint Seiya! ”

In the middle of her words, Athena suddenly felt a huge energy fluctuation in the distance, and immediately said, "You guys take the young lady back immediately!" ”

"Yes!"

"Auntie!" Qin Xianggang wanted to be coquettish, but when she saw the equally serious eyes of Athena and Mei Jia, she could only stomp her feet and stop talking.

After Athena and Mei Jia saw Qin Xiang obediently go back, the two glanced at each other and flew towards the place where the energy fluctuated. After all, although Shen Han was nominally Zeus's son-in-law, and the Pangu clan and the gods clan were also allies, Shen Han had opposed them several times. Even Athena was called a traitor by the gods, which shows that the relationship between the two sides is not good!

"Little girl." Nikki looked at Qin Xiang with a smile and said, "If you say that I am your elder by seniority!" You should call me Auntie! I'm very good friends with your mother Athena! ”

"If you can't stop it, you have to stop it!" Qin Xiang said firmly.
