Chapter 341: Chapter 172: Shion vs. Mu, Titan’s Nova vs. Great Horn! (Part 1)

Mu kept his eyes tightly shut, his long pink hair dancing in the win. He slowly knelt on one knee and bowed his head before Shion.

"Teacher, I dare not raise my hand against you, but if the others wish to pass through here, they will have to step over my dead body!"

By saying this, Mu clearly harbored the resolve to die. Previously, due to his pacifist nature, he had almost never fought formally.

However, Shion was well aware of his strength. Among this generation of Gold Saints, although Mu was a bit behind the top tier consisting of Saga, Shaka, and Alex, he definitely ranked in the top three of the second tier.

But for Mu to want to block the group of resurrected former-generation Gold Saints behind Shion all by himself was no different from throwing his life away!

Shion’s expression remained unchanged as he spoke indifferently.

"Mu, there is no need for you to do this. This is a battle between the previous generation of Gold Saints and the current generation. Since you insist on stopping us, then I will exchange a few blows with you!"

Shion waved his hand and said flatly, "You all go on ahead. Mu is my student; leave this place to me!"

The remaining eleven former Gold Saints remained silent as they walked past the teacher and student.

Mu clenched his fists tightly, fine beads of sweat seeping from his face. It wasn’t until everyone had disappeared from sight that he slowly opened his eyes.

A gentle breeze swept through the Sanctuary, leaving only the teacher and student standing there.

Shion took a deep breath, a look of nostalgia in his eyes. For so many nights, he had stood just like this at the peak of the sacred mountain, silently watching over the mortal realm.

Mu was not in a hurry to attack either. The Shion before him shared an extraordinary bond with him. Both being of the Jamirian race, Mu had been raised by Shion since childhood, and Shion had always showered him with care and affection.

In Mu’s heart, Shion was both a teacher and a father figure.

Now, his father figure was standing right in front of him, claiming that he would kill Athena, the Goddess Mu protected with his life. How could he possibly accept this!

Mu made one final effort.

"Teacher, I refuse to believe that you would betray Athena. You must have your own difficulties. Now that it is just the two of us, you can speak plainly if there is anything you need to say."

Shion’s expression shifted slightly. He noticed four cold, gloomy auras suddenly appearing around the Sanctuary, and he immediately chuckled.

"I gave everything for Athena, yet after death, I was condemned to fall eternally into Cocytus. Now, the King of the Underworld has given me a chance. As long as I can take Athena’s head, he will grant me eternal life. If you were in my place, what would you choose?"

Mu’s expression darkened, but he did not answer.

Shion waved his hand.

"Step down, Mu. My opponent is Dohko. Although your strength is commendable, your heart is too soft. You are not suited for battle!"

Mu’s expression gradually grew resolute. He spread his arms wide, blocking Shion’s path forward.

"Teacher, please stay here with me until the sun rises tomorrow!"

Shion’s expression gradually turned freezing cold.

"Do you insist on stopping me?"

No further words were needed. In an instant, invisible telekinetic barriers clashed violently between the two, annihilating and regenerating continuously.

Space collided violently like glass, emitting teeth-aching creaks.

Shining crystal fragments acted as both shields of defense and spears of offense. They traced lethal trajectories in the air, mutually canceling out and piercing through each other, slicing everything in their surroundings beyond recognition!

Aries Ultimate Secret: Crystal Wall!

Without realizing it, both of them had already made their moves!

Shion burned his Cosmo, and then a torrent of psychokinesis capable of shattering stars crashed into Mu’s Crystal Wall!

Aries Ultimate Secret: Stardust Revolution!

The dazzling stardust particles smashed to pieces against the Crystal Wall, while the Crystal Wall itself developed numerous cracks...

Shion showed absolutely no intention of stopping.

"Use your full strength; otherwise, you will die by my hands!"

Mu’s eyes caught sight of Kiki hiding in the shadows of the Aries Temple. The child’s tender face was filled with confusion and fear!

’Grandmaster and teacher are fighting each other... What in the world is happening to this world?’

Young as he was, he could not yet understand exactly what the Gold Saints were sacrificing their lives to protect!

Mu let out a long sigh and said flatly.

"Teacher, forgive my offense!"

Boom!
