He's in the Marvel universe, and his first step is marrying Scarlet Witch.

Chapter 353 The Powerful Dark Saint (Fourth Update)

"It seems Ikki and his Dark Saints are about to make their appearance!"

Li Chuan, who was sitting in the stands, quietly got up, walked to a deserted corner, and disappeared instantly.

Six years ago, out of concern for his younger brother who was chosen to retrieve the Cloth from Death Queen Island, Ikki volunteered to go to Death Queen Island in place of Shun, an island where no one had ever come out alive.

Despite enduring excruciating pain and rigorous training, Ikki, outwardly cold but inwardly passionate, was never able to comprehend the power of the Phoenix's hatred.

Finally, after his respected master killed his beloved girl, Ashley, he was enraged and finally comprehended the Phoenix Force, killing his master with his own hands and falling into darkness.

This time, he will lead the unique Dark Saints of Death Queen Island back to take revenge, sever all ties, seize the Gold Cloth, and thus unify the world.

Dark Saints generally refer to evil Saints who betrayed Athena for personal gain after learning the Cosmo training method. They wear dark armor modeled after the Saints of Athena.

As for his strength, in Li Chuan's impression, he shouldn't have reached the Silver level. He might be stronger than Seiya and the others at present, but he's not a threat to him.

In fact, apart from a few Silver Saints and Gold Saints, he didn't take the other Bronze and Silver Saints in the Athena series too seriously.

Because the punching speed of most Silver Saints is only around Mach 2 or 3, which is far from the light-speed punches that are standard for Gold Saints.

"It's the Phoenix Saint!"

When the arena lights dimmed and then came back on, Ikki, wearing the Phoenix Cloth, was already standing high above the box containing the Sagittarius Cloth.

Sensing the powerful and resentful cosmos within Ikki, Shun's Nebula Chains launched an attack uncontrollably, but were easily caught by the powerful Ikki.

The unicorn Jabu, who had just fought Shun, stepped forward, only to be easily knocked to the ground by Ikki, who had come to the arena.

"I'm not here to participate in this boring competition. I'm back for revenge. Kido Mitsumasa, Kido Saori, and you, Tatsumi, you old dog, you who sent me to hell, now it's my turn to send you there."

"The Gold Cloth belongs to me, and if you, Shiryu and Seiya, dare to stop me, I'll kill you both. I've seen your strength these past two days; even combined, you're no match for me!"

Ikki first shouted towards the upper-level private room, then arrogantly looked at Seiya and the others.

Li Chuan, who had already teleported and become invisible above the Sagittarius Gold Cloth, shook his head as he looked down at Ikki.

He could understand Ikki quite well. If he had Ikki's experience, he probably would have become even more ruthless than Ikki.

What he couldn't understand the most was Mitsumasa Kido. You're so rich, it wouldn't be difficult to find people who volunteer to go to the various holy sites, but you insisted on forcing orphans from orphanages.

Anyone would have something to say about this.

To be honest, if it weren't for Saori Kido's immense charm and ability to win people over, probably very few people would have been willing to listen to her after returning.

"Phoenix Ikki, don't be so presumptuous. Every place we train in is hell. Your opponent is me!"

At this moment, Nachi of the Jackal, who was originally scheduled to fight Ikki tomorrow, put on his Saint Cloth and came to the arena.

Clearly, he wanted to finish tomorrow's battle ahead of time and advance to the next round.

Unfortunately, his strength was far inferior to Ikki's.

"Hell, the place you're going to is also called hell. Let me show you what real hell is like."

Ikki raised his hand and punched Nachi.

"Phoenix Illusion Demon Fist!"

The fist missed Nachi, but Nachi's body jolted, and his expression turned to extreme terror. A few seconds later, he clutched his head and collapsed to the ground in pain.

"What a powerful mental attack."

Li Chuan touched his chin, a look of surprise on his face.

Ikki's punch was a pure mental attack, which made Nachi see a terrifying scene of hell, causing his nerves to rupture and his mind to collapse.

"Lord Ikki, leave those nameless nobodies to us!"

Just as everyone was amazed by Ikki's strength, more than a dozen Saints dressed in black armor suddenly jumped out of the arena and surrounded Seiya and the others.

The four leaders were wearing the same Saint Cloths as Shiryu, Seiya, Hyoga, and Shun, except that they were pure black.

The other soldiers were all wearing black Phoenix Cloths.

"Who are you all?"

Seiya, Hyoga, and the others immediately assumed defensive stances and loudly questioned him.

And those Dark Saints didn't hide it either:

"We are the Dark Four Heavenly Kings and the Dark Phoenix Legion under Lord Ikki!"

"Forget it, Seiya without his Cloth, the weak Shun, and the insignificant Hyoga, it would be a waste to kill you all. Let's take the Gold Cloths back to Death Queen Island and kill you all together next time."

Ikki gave a signal, and immediately four Dark Saints jumped onto the platform where the Sagittarius Gold Cloth was displayed.

Everyone was shocked to see this, but due to the number of the enemy and the strength that Ikki had just displayed, they dared not easily make a move to intercept him, for fear of revealing a weakness and being killed in one blow.

However, just as the four Dark Saints were about to open the box and take the Gold Cloth, a huge water dragon appeared out of nowhere and swept all four Dark Saints off the platform.

"You promised that only the first-place winner would receive the Gold Cloth. Isn't this blatant theft incredibly disrespectful?"

The water dragon dissipated, and Li Chuan, with a smile on his face, calmly appeared next to the box containing the Gold Cloth.

"Brother Chuan!"

When Seiya saw Li Chuan protect the Gold Cloth, a look of surprise and delight appeared on his face.

Although he disliked Saori Kido and the Kido Foundation, as a true Saint, he could not allow something as sacred as the Gold Cloth to fall into the hands of evil people.

Meanwhile, Binghe revealed an expression of "I knew it," knowing that Li Chuan was no weakling.

"I advise you to mind your own business, or there might be another corpse here today."

When Yihui saw Li Chuan, his expression became slightly serious.

Yesterday, while hiding in the audience, he saw Li Chuan treating Seiya and Shiryu, and he felt that the other party was not simple. So last night, he specially summoned the Dark Four Heavenly Kings as well.

As expected, he defeated four Dark Saints with a single move, and these were Hidden Saints who were not weak either.

"Then I can only advise you that the sea of ​​suffering is boundless, but there is always a shore to turn back to. Lay down your butcher's knife and become a Buddha on the spot."

Li Chuan shrugged indifferently.

Knowing that Li Chuan had no intention of giving up, Ikki's eyes turned cold.

"I was originally thinking of letting you live a little longer, but since that's the case, let's just take care of everything at once!"

Turning to look at the Dark Four Heavenly Kings and the Dark Phoenix Legion:

"Dark Swan will take care of Hyoga, Dark Pegasus will take care of Seiya, Dark Andromeda will take care of Shun, Dark Dragon will lead the others to take care of Li Chuan and seize the Gold Cloth, and I'll personally take care of that young lady and that old dog!"
