In the palace of Ryugu Castle, with the appearance of Yoriichi Tsugakuni, everyone's attention was focused on Yoriichi Tsugakuni.
Saint Satan looked up at the young man who suddenly entered the hall and recognized Yoriichi Tsugikuni at a glance.
Although the marks on Yunyi's face have long disappeared and he looks much younger than before, he has not changed much in other aspects. Neither his appearance nor his temperament is much different from before.
Yoriichi Tsugumi is one of the most formidable enemies of the Celestial Dragons. His existence was once a great concern for the Celestial Dragons. Yoriichi Tsugumi, who had climbed the holy land several times, had already been deeply imprinted in the minds of his enemies.
Although they had not seen each other for several years, when Yoriichi Tsugakuni reappeared in front of the Five Elder Stars, they recognized Yoriichi Tsugakuni at the first moment.
"You... you are Tsugikoku Yoriichi!?"
Satan Saint's pupils suddenly trembled when he recognized the person. Although his tone revealed a strong sense of surprise and doubt, his body's reaction was very real. As soon as he finished speaking, he hurriedly retreated and immediately distanced himself from Ji Guoyuan.
"Tsugikoku Yoriichi?!"
"Aren't you already dead? Why are you here?"
On the platform, the other five elder stars also exclaimed in surprise. In their opinion, Jigokuyuan should have died in Alabasta long ago, and it was impossible for him to reappear in front of them.
But the person in front of them was really no different from the one they remembered.
Even if appearance can be faked, strength and aura cannot be faked.
At this time, Yuichiro Tsuchiya was clearly standing in front of them, but their observation Haki swept through the position where Yuichiro Tsuchiya was standing, but they did not sense any breath.
This is not the first time they have encountered such a situation. In their understanding, the only person who can do this is Yuanyi Jiguo.
Yoshiichi Tsugakuni's aura was integrated with nature and could not be captured by Observation Haki at all. Among all the five Five Elders present, only Satan, who had just taken the deadly medicine, caught Yoshiichi Tsugakuni's figure. The others only realized it belatedly after Yoshiichi Tsugakuni showed up.
Just witnessing such an ability of the enemy was enough to make all the Five Elders be on high alert.
"die?"
"I'm really sorry to disappoint you."
"Unfortunately, I survived."
Ji Guoyuan raised his eyes and glanced at the other Five Elders on the platform, and a smile finally appeared on his originally expressionless face.
The Five Elder Stars have all left the holy land, which is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for Yoriichi Tsugikuni.
If he can grasp the situation well, he will have the opportunity to keep all the Five Elders here.
If Yim loses the protection of the Five Elder Stars, even if Ji Guoyuanyi does not have a comprehensive understanding of Yim's abilities, he is still confident that he can get rid of him.
One-on-one, Yoriichi Tsugikuni was confident that he could kill anyone, even Im.
In order to prevent the Five Elders from escaping, Ji Guoyuan had no intention of continuing to talk nonsense as soon as he finished speaking. His figure flashed and disappeared from everyone's sight.
"careful!"
“He’s coming!”
As Tsugikuni Yoriichi's figure disappeared, several of the Five Elders shouted almost at the same time, trying to remind their other companions in this way.
The shadow left by Yoriichi Tsugakuni on the Five Elder Stars was too great. During their long years, only Yoriichi Tsugakuni had truly posed a real threat to the lives of the Five Elder Stars.
Although no one knows why Yoriichi Tsugakuni was able to survive the annihilation attack on the Kingdom of Alabasta, no one knows why it took so long for him to reappear before the world even though he survived.
However, what the Five Elders can be sure of is that the reason why Tsugikuni Yoriichi chose to lie dormant must be to prepare to kill them, the Five Elders.
And when Tsugikoku Yoshiichi appeared in front of them again, he was probably already prepared to kill them.
At this moment, the Five Elders also thought of the devastating disaster that occurred in the holy land some time ago.
Before today, they didn't know that Yoriichi Tsugakuni was still alive.
But when they realized this again, and thought about the disaster in the holy land at that time, it was easy to associate the culprit with the man in front of them.
In this world, the only person who has the power to create such a big commotion is probably Yuichiro Tsugukuni.
Before the Five Elders had time to think about it, when Tsugikuni Yoshiichi's figure appeared in everyone's sight again, he had already caught up with the retreating Satan Saint and came to Satan Saint's side.
With the help of the deadly medicine, Satan Sheng's reaction speed is extremely fast. With his physical functions greatly improved, he has narrowed the gap in strength between him and Tsugikuni Yoriichi.
Unlike the other Five Elders, even though his Observation Haki could not work on Jigokuen, Satan Sheng was still able to rely on his dynamic vision enhanced by the murderous medicine to barely catch Jigokuen's figure moving at high speed.
Although only a fleeting image was captured, it was enough for Saint Satan to make the next evasive action.
Ji Guoyuan appeared beside Saint Satan and stabbed the long knife in his hand directly at Saint Satan's heart.
Tsugikuni Yoshiichi's fighting skills are still the same as before, with murderous intent in every move.
Although Satan Sheng had already noticed Tsugakuni Yoriichi's attack, with his current physical functions, he was still unable to avoid Tsugakuni Yoriichi's attack at such a critical moment.
But this does not mean that Saint Satan will sit idly by and wait for death.
The moment before Tsugikuni Yoriichi's long sword penetrated Satan's heart, Satan's body began to undergo drastic changes.
In just a blink of an eye, the bull ghost with a human body and spider legs appeared in everyone's sight.
At this moment, Ji Guoyuan's blade suddenly changed its tactics. Several flashes of blade light passed by, directly cutting off all of Satan Saint's spider legs.
"boom!!!!"
Saint Satan, who had lost the support of his limbs, fell directly into the palace, and the strong smell of blood quickly spread in the palace.
No one expected that in just one encounter, Satan Sheng, who had just transformed into a cow demon, had six limbs cut off by Jiguo Yuanyi.
This horrifying scene also frightened the other five elder stars and made them quickly enter combat status.
As terrifying domineering auras burst out in the hall one after another, the originally spacious hall was now tightly packed with the huge demonic bodies of several of the Five Elder Stars.
Realizing that the battle in such a place was too crowded, the Garuda bird, the incarnation of the Saint Marcus Maz, quickly spread its wings and flew up, breaking through the roof of the hall and soaring into the air.
The other five elders followed suit and did not stay in the hall for long. In just a blink of an eye, they had already smashed the walls of the hall and quickly left.
None of the Five Elders thought of helping Satan Saint. Their first reaction when facing Tsugikuni Yoriichi was to keep their distance and prioritize their own safety.
In their eyes, Satan, whose six limbs were cut off by Yoriichi Tsugakuin, has become a burden and the best bait to delay Yoriichi Tsugakuin.
"boom--"
Although his companions have given up on Satan Saint, Satan Saint himself still has a strong desire to survive.
He didn't want to give up resistance. It was true that Tsugikuni Yoriichi was very strong, but that didn't mean that Satan had no chance of survival.
With a slight sound, black flames quickly ignited on the wound of the broken limb. At the same time, new flesh and blood also grew rapidly in the flames.
Super fast regeneration.
Even after taking the deadly drug, the side effects of the drug did not affect Saint Satan at all, and the power of the black flame was still able to take effect.
At this time, Satan Saint also noticed that the other Five Elders had quickly moved away from the battlefield. Although he was angry about this, his attention was completely focused on Yoriichi Tsugikuni.
He understood that whether he could survive from the opponent's hands now depended entirely on himself.
At the same time as the black flames ignited, Saint Satan quickly reached into his arms.
Now he needs to seize every opportunity to increase his chances of survival. The deadly medicine he just got shows its value at such a critical moment.
Although Saint Satan still didn't know what impact the side effects of the drug would have on him, at such a critical moment, he couldn't care less.
In short, we must first find ways to overcome the current crisis.
Soon, Satan Sheng took out the small iron box from his arms. Without even taking a closer look at the amount of medicine in the box, Satan Sheng tilted his head back and poured all the medicine into his mouth.
Just as Saint Satan was waiting for his body functions to undergo further transformation, the figure of Yuichiro Tsugikoro appeared silently behind him.
Satan Sheng, who noticed the breathing sound behind him, hurriedly turned around and looked behind him, and happened to meet the calm gaze of Jigoku Yoshiichi.
Realizing the danger, Saint Satan felt a strong sense of alarm in his heart. However, his six limbs, which had not yet fully recovered, were unable to help him leave the spot.
"Was it helpful?"
Ji Guoyuan opened his lips slightly, and his cold words made Satan Sheng's pupils shrink.
There was no time to wait for the deadly drug to take effect before a dim flash of a knife flashed past Saint Satan's eyes.
This time, Ji Guoyuan attacked without any reservation. A terrifying slash came out horizontally, directly chopping off the huge demon head of Satan Saint.
The sweeping blow was still powerful as it flew directly towards Saint Marcus Maz, who was incarnated as the Garuda bird in the air in the distance.
Yunyi's slash came suddenly. Marcus Maz Saint, who had just taken off into the air, was about to look back at the scene on the battlefield when he was directly hit by the slash.
However, his reaction was quick enough. At the moment when his body was about to be engulfed by Tsugakure Yoshiichi's attack, he quickly withdrew from the demonic state. However, even with his quick reaction, he was still unable to completely avoid Tsugakure Yoshiichi's attack.
Yoshiichirō's slash passed horizontally, and his legs were also cut off at the knees.
The sudden severe pain caused Saint Marcus Maz to lose his balance and fall from mid-air.
This scene happening on the battlefield was also seen by all the Five Elders.
Seeing Saint Satan being beheaded by Jiguo Yuanyi and Saint Marcus Maz having both legs chopped off by Jiguo Yuanyi, the other Five Elders were even more frightened.
He no longer had any thoughts of engaging in a head-on battle with Yuichiro Tsugikoku, and at this moment he actually had the idea of retreating.
The appearance of Yoriichi Tsugakuni was really beyond their expectations, and within just a few minutes after Yoriichi Tsugakuni appeared, he had successfully chopped off Satan's head.
This overwhelming strength immediately shocked all of the Five Elders, making them lose the courage to face the enemy head-on.
In fact, if they could calm down and gather everyone's strength, they might be able to compete with Tsugakuni Yoriichi. Even if they couldn't defeat Tsugakuni Yoriichi, it would not be difficult to maintain their position with the combined efforts of several people.
And when this battle developed into a protracted war, Tsugikuni Yoshiichi might not dare to use all his strength to attack and kill the Five Elders in a place like Fishman Island.
But unfortunately, all the Five Elders are extremely afraid of death.
At the moment when Saint Satan was attacked, the others chose not to help but to flee.
The mentality of "I would rather die than let my friend die" also gave Tsugikoku Yoriichi the opportunity to defeat them one by one.
And now, the various reactions of the other Five Elders when facing the attack were actually within Tsugikuni Yoriichi's expectations.
Black flames appeared at the severed neck of Saint Satan, and the black flames burning from the broken ends of his head and body also rose slowly, as if trying to reconnect his severed head and body.
Although his head had been cut off by Yoshikazu Tsugakuin, his consciousness remained clear.
But Satan Saint himself is also very clear that he is now a shining Death Star. If he does not do something, he will surely die at the hands of Tsugikuni Yoriichi.
“You guys!!!”
"Why don't you come back and save me quickly? If I die, do you think you can get away?"
"Come and save me! The medicine I took is already taking effect. As long as I can survive, we can defeat this guy!"
“Come back soon!!!”
Satan Saint, who was no longer able to move, placed his hopes on several other companions.
The head that rolled to the ground let out bursts of violent roars, and its hysterical look was extremely hideous. It was obvious that at such a critical moment of life and death, even someone like Saint Satan who had lived for countless years could not maintain his usual calmness and composure.
“Snap—”
However, just as Saint Satan was hysterically yelling at his companions to come back for rescue, his head was grabbed by Yoshikazu Tsugakuin.
The hand with the pure gold ring directly grabbed the flesh and blood at the severed head. The golden flame instantly wrapped around the head of Saint Satan, burning the flesh and blood of Saint Satan and corroding the soul of Saint Satan.
"one!"
Jigoku Yoshiichi held the head of Saint Satan in one hand and a knife in the other, glanced around at the other Five Elders who had retreated, and then set his sights on Saint Marcus Maz, who had just fallen to the ground and was struggling to get up.
"You're next."
"If you really could fly, it would be easy for me to catch you."
