live in leaves and walk among the heavens

There is a saying in the ninja world that fighting is all about intelligence. This can be seen very clearly from the battle between Lao Zi and Hagen. Hagen, who uses scorching lava as a means of training and fighting, can fight against himself. Lao Zi, who was integrated with the lava, couldn't deal any damage at all.

It can be said that as long as Hagen changes his thinking in time and uses the power of ice to fight Lao Zi, I am afraid that Lao Zi will also feel very headache.

But things are not easy to change if you want to change.

Just like Hagen deliberately chose this hot magma as the battlefield to effectively restrain the freezing air of the glaciers, in this environment where the freezing air is obviously suppressed, it will naturally strengthen and weaken the attributes of both sides in the battle. It has also become a key to affecting the battle situation.

And how could Lao Zi, an old fritter with rich experience in one-on-one combat, let go of such a great opportunity to hit his opponent hard?Therefore, even though Hagen, who was unable to take advantage of the strength in mid-air, was quick to cover his arms and chest with ice for protection, the blow that had already been prepared still seriously injured him, making him unable to get up again. .

As for why he didn't kill Hagen with one blow, after all, this kid took possession of the eight-legged horse sacred clothes of Tianxuan Star, and the light that was born in the magma that is naturally resistant to scorching heat is exactly In this way, the buffer of the ice layer and the holy clothes, plus the scorching resistance of the holy clothes to Lao Zi's attack, made Hagen just fainted at this time.

"Boy, this is the Odin sapphire you want, take it and leave quickly."

When Lao Zi attacked Hagen, he naturally picked out the Odin sapphire from his lower abdomen, and seeing the sapphire that Lao Zi threw into his hand like trash, Binghe finally recovered from his surprise. Come on.

"Are you a Dark Saint?! Are you the brother Ikki said?"

No wonder Binghe mistook Lao Zi for Ikki's senior brother. After all, Lao Zi, who also used scorching power, seemed to Ikki not much different from the scorching power used by Phoenix Saints, let alone when they came to this area. Before God's Continent, he also learned from Ikki that his senior brother was the Dark Saint.

"Sorry, I'm not Ikki's senior brother as you said, and the main reason why I appear here is an agreement between our leader of the Dark Saints and Ms. Saori Kido."

The agreement between the Dark Saint and Saori Kido was not intended to be concealed by Seiya and the goddess guards. Of course, the main reason was to dispel the other party's worries when he and others appeared, but more details They would not explain the content so clearly to each other, so Lao Zi simply explained it and then ignored Binghe, but walked slowly to Freya who was already prostrate beside Hagen who had passed out. near.

"What did you say? Promise? ... Also, what are you going to do?"

Seeing Lao Zi, who was wearing the dark centaur holy clothes, walking towards Freya, Binghe nervously wanted to stop her, but saw that Lao Zi stopped three steps away from Freya, he wanted to The pace of catching up also slowly stopped.

"Miss Freya, this god fighter just passed out due to the impact of the fist wind, so his life is not seriously affected."

"And I'm here to escort you back to Athena."

Originally, Lao Zi's sudden sound behind her really startled Freya, but when she heard that Hagen, whom she had been concerned about all along, was not in danger of life, and this seemingly very powerful man who called himself a dark saint was Athena Freya sent her to escort her, and Freya couldn't help but feel relieved.

It has to be said that as Freya, who has been growing up happily under the wings of the older sister Hilda, it can be said that she is so innocent that not only the few words that Binghe said back then, but also put Binghe out of the prison. After he was released, he believed in the other party after only one or two words from Lao Zi.

"This...this um..."

"You can just call me Zi." Hearing that Freya was struggling with how to address herself, Lao Zi naturally gave her own name again.

"Well, Mr. Zi, can I stay here and take care of Hagen first?"

Leaving her childhood playmate here was naturally something Freya didn't want to do, so although her character was naturally weak, she gradually became bolder after experiencing so many things.

"Of course it's possible. After all, my task is to send Miss Freya to Miss Kido Saori. The exact time of departure is naturally up to you to arrange."

For a girl like Freya, it seems that no one is willing to refuse her request, especially Lao Zi, who has experienced the cruelty of the ninja world. When facing a simple and kind girl like Freya, he even answered His voice was much softer.

It's just that Lao Zi's soft voice and gentle face turned stiff and serious when he turned to the glacier.

"The things here are over, Miss Freya is now under my protection until she returns to Miss Kido Saori, so, Shiratori, you can continue to complete your mission."

The treatment between the soft girl and the bad guy is not great, and although Binghe is still very weak at this time, after confirming that Lao Zi is the one who came to protect Freya, he no longer entangled in anything Brother Ikki's business.

At this moment in his heart, at this moment, I am afraid that Lao Zi's identity has already been defined as the role of the so-called four heavenly kings under the leader of the new Dark Saint Warrior after Ikki left Death Queen Island.

But just like what Lao Zi said, at this time he still has his own mission, which is to collect seven Odin sapphires together with Seiya and the others, so as to defeat the Hilda who was blackened by the demon world, And then save the goddess who is still burning her own small universe for the safety of the world at this time.

"Okay, then I'll leave Freya to you." Binghe also has respect for the strong, not to mention that it seems that the other party is still on his side.

So he nodded and said hello to Lao Zi who was already sitting cross-legged on the ground at this time, and the glacier, which had somewhat recovered some strength, left Hagen's lava practice field.

What he didn't realize was that as he left, the shadow clone of Yuhicheng who had been hiding in the corner followed behind him. As for why Yuhicheng exposed Lao Zi in this battle.

In fact, the reason is very simple, that is, not only does he want Lao Zi and You Ji to gradually become familiar with the fighting methods of the saints, but also because this Freya who came suddenly is a person who must survive and has a strong sense of the sanctuary. An existence that is totally convinced by Saori Kido.

"I hope she will continue to maintain this kind of pure kindness after taking over God's Domain and becoming the new queen..."

Looking at the young face in front of him quietly guarding the fainting Hagen, Lao Zi couldn't help but sigh slightly in his heart. After all, compared to Freya's future, he has seen more miserable children life.

But just like now, he was still powerless.
