I really can't control myself.

Chapter 3641 Old Friend
"Stop it." A voice suddenly sounded, and unexpectedly it actually stopped the fighting on the battlefield.

Of course, it was not because this man's voice had any magical power. The main reason was that the people fighting on both sides seemed to be hesitant.

Benkei said at the beginning that his purpose was just to stop Linton and his group from crossing the bridge, and he never said that he would take their lives. It was just that the people here were uncooperative and insisted on forcing their way through that led to the fight.

In fact, the people in the elite team here are similar. It is just the name of Benkei that makes them hesitant to take the other party's life.

For example, if one day you encounter a famous general like Qi Jiguang or Yue Fei who suddenly resurrects and seems to become a villain and is hostile to you, would you hesitate when fighting them?

Hasegawa Horihiro and others are experiencing similar psychological activities now. Simply put, although they are fighting, the killing intent of both sides is not very strong.

People on both sides looked in the direction of the sound, and this time they saw a man in a black robe... or rather, they were not sure whether it was a human or not.

The main reason is that the opponent’s body is really small.

Benkei here is about 2 meters tall, while the guy in black robe opposite him looks about 5 meter tall, which feels like the height of a halfling. The contrast is particularly obvious. Of course, it is not too rare for species such as dwarves and halflings to appear in this world.

Because you can tell from the other person's voice that it is definitely not the voice of a child. It sounds quite hoarse and old, so even if the other person is wearing a black robe that almost covers his entire body, no one would think that this is a child.

"Who are you?" Benkei pointed his naginata at the other party and asked first.

This also made the elite team stunned. They thought that the man in black robe was from Benkei's side, but it turned out that Benkei didn't recognize him?

"Haha, have you forgotten me, old friend?" The black-robed man here even had a bitter smile in his voice, "Yes, after all, so many years have passed, even I am almost forgetting your face."

"You... who are you?" Benkei on this side seemed to recognize the other party's voice and suddenly became a little confused.

The man in black robe here did not play mysterious all the time. After hearing Benkei's words, he directly took off the black hood and mask on his face. The revealed face made everyone stunned.

This is a face that looks very, very old. Yes, the whole face is wrinkled, the eye sockets are deeply sunken, and the whole person is skinny and looks like a dried corpse.

Moreover, the other person's eyebrows and beard were quite long, but they were not well-groomed. They were curled up and looked very sloppy.

Everyone also understood why this guy was so small. He was hunched over and his back was severely hunched, so he looked so small.

In short, no matter how you look at him, he looks like a... centenarian, and he looks like he is about to die at any time.

But he didn't come in a wheelchair, he looked like he walked here. It can only be said that for an old man of his age to come to such a place, especially when there are strange crows chasing people everywhere, this old man is obviously a bit abnormal.

"It's a human..." None of the people present could sense the demonic aura on the other person. This guy who looked like a 100-year-old man was actually a human. From what he said just now, did he know Benkei?
This is unlikely. Benkei lived eight or nine hundred years ago. Although this old man looks really old, he can't be eight or nine hundred years old.

Everyone looked at Benkei, wanting to see his reaction. After all, he took off his hood because he obviously wanted Benkei to recognize him, right?

However, Benkei looked at him for a long time with an expression of "I don't know him". But he didn't say anything directly, maybe he felt a little familiar with him?
"Sure enough, I'm so old that you can't recognize me anymore?" The old man here sighed.

"You... who are you? I always feel that you are a little familiar, but I have never seen you before." Benkei asked again.

"Old friend, it's me, Hai Zun." The old man sighed and spoke.

"What?" Benkei shuddered. The people around him were also stunned when they heard the name, and they obviously knew who this old man was.

"Who is it?" Soma Yukihira asked in a low voice to Erina Nakiri beside him.

Obviously, although he knew Benkei, he had never heard of the name Kaizun.

Nakiri Erina rolled her eyes at him and whispered, "Hitachibo Kaizun, another general under Minamoto no Yoshitsune, was his right-hand man like Benkei. But it is said that he suddenly fled the battlefield in the last battle and retired to the mountains. Then he gained immortality..."

"Immortal?" Yukihira Soma looked at the old man in front of him in surprise, "So he really has lived from the time of Benkei to the present?"

"This... is possible..." Erina Nakiri looked at the old man who looked like a mummy and said.

"Haizun? Is that you?" At this moment, Benkei seemed to recognize the old man in front of him. Although the old man's appearance and voice had changed, he still felt a little familiar. Now that he thought about it, it might be because of the other party's eyes. After all, he was a comrade who had fought side by side with him. He had just been resurrected, so he obviously still remembered him.

"It's me." Hitachibo Kaizun nodded, "Nice to see you again, old friend."

"You...how come..." Benkei still couldn't accept Hitachibo Kaizun's current state. After all, in his memory, Hitachibo Kaizun was a brave warrior just like him, only slightly smaller than him, but definitely sturdy. But the man in front of him...

"During the Battle of Ikawa-kan, I escaped from the battlefield. By chance, or maybe it was a curse, I gained an immortal body. Now, more than 800 years have passed." Hitachibo Kaizun said simply.

"You escaped from the battlefield? How is that possible? Wasn't that time..." Benkei obviously didn't believe it. Just when he was about to ask for details, he was suddenly interrupted by Hitachibo Kaizun.

"Now is not the time to talk about this, old friend." Hitachibo Kaizun said, "The lord is in danger, we have to go save him."

"What do you mean? The lord asked me to stay here and not let anyone else pass." Benkei said immediately.

"This is a trap." Hitachibo Kaizun said, "The master of the lord has been controlled by an evil spirit. He summoned the lord here to harm the lord."
