Chapter 640: Once Again at a Disadvantage
Even though he was seriously injured, Jin An's pace did not slow down at all.
With an almost light step, he quickly distanced himself from Blackbeard, his eyes burning as if telling him:
"Whatever you do, I can handle it."
He took a deep breath, raised the long sword in his hand slightly, and the potential of his body was quietly stimulated at this moment.
Blackbeard's pupils shrank slightly, and a sense of uneasiness rose in his heart.
His judgment of Jinan had never been so inaccurate.
He had always thought that Jin An was just an opponent who relied on a combination of luck and strength, but now he realized that Jin An was much more difficult to deal with than he had imagined.
Jin'an suddenly dodged and rushed quickly to Blackbeard's flank.
Blackbeard quickly released a dark vortex with his hands, sucking the surrounding air into it, forming a powerful gravitational force, trying to drag Jin An in.
But Jin An had already anticipated this move. He squatted down instantly and swept the blade across like thunder.
Blackbeard only had time to hold his sword horizontally to block, but Jin'an's strength was far beyond his expectations, and the strong impact made Blackbeard feel a little tired.
"You kid..."
Blackbeard roared angrily and increased the output of gravity with both hands. The all-consuming force in the darkness became even more terrifying.
Jin An's pace was obviously slowed down, but he did not panic. With the pulling of the force, his body jumped slightly due to the effect of gravity, and he held the long sword tightly in his right hand and slashed at Blackbeard's chest.
The attack was fierce and swift, and all the anger seemed to be condensed on the blade.
A hint of surprise flashed in Blackbeard's eyes. He reacted quickly and instantly transformed the power of darkness into a solid shield to block Jin'an's blade.
Despite this, he could still feel the tremendous power contained in the blade, the power made his arms numb and his vision blurred.
Jin An showed a sneer on his face.
"Your Dark-Dark Fruit is powerful, but that's all it is."
His blade had already slid across Blackbeard's shield, breaking through Blackbeard's defense and pointing directly at Blackbeard's chest.
Although he was forcibly pushed back by the power of darkness, the breakthrough at that moment was enough to make Blackbeard feel extremely threatened.
At this moment, a hint of astonishment flashed across Blackbeard's mouth, but then his face was replaced by a sneer.
He fought back fiercely, and the dark vortex in his hand once again burst out with strong energy fluctuations, trying to pull Jin An into the center of the vortex again.
At the moment he made his move, Jin'an's eyes became even more fierce. He suddenly stomped on the ground hard, used the force to leap forward, and attacked like a tiger, with a momentum like a hurricane, and pounced fiercely at Blackbeard.
"Do you think you can defeat me like this?!"
Blackbeard roared, his eyes filled with ferocity and anger.
The dark vortex expanded rapidly, swallowing up the surrounding space in an instant.
But at this moment, Jin An's figure disappeared from his sight again, as if he suddenly turned into a shadow, leaving only the sound of wind blowing in his face.
The next second, Jin An was standing behind Blackbeard, with the blade raised high.
Blackbeard felt the breath behind him, and a strong sense of danger immediately surged in his heart. He turned around desperately and tried to defend himself again through the darkness.
But it was too late.
Jin'an didn't give Blackbeard any chance to react. He slashed down with the blade fiercely, and the force like thunder directly hit the protective shield behind Blackbeard.
Although Blackbeard's dark power is strong, Jinan at this moment is no longer the same as before.
That one blow seemed to have shattered all of Blackbeard's defenses.
A trace of unwillingness and anger flashed in Blackbeard's eyes. He knew that he was suppressed and fell into Jin'an's continuous offensive. His momentum gradually declined.
Although Jin An was seriously injured, there was a determined light in his eyes.
He knew that he could not give in at all, because if he did, Blackbeard would use the darkness to devour him again, or even turn the tide of the battle.
Now, Jin An is not afraid of Blackbeard. He knows that no matter how strong Blackbeard is, he is just a beast struggling in the dark, and he can already see the fragility of the beast.
The battlefield was still filled with smoke and rubble. Jin An stood with a knife in his hand, staring at the black beard opposite him.
His aura was calm and steady, but not to be underestimated. Even though his body was covered with scars, he showed no intention of retreating.
Blackbeard stood not far away, the smile on his face had long disappeared, replaced by a gloomy cunning.
His hands were shaking slightly and sweat was dripping down his forehead. Although he tried his best to hide it, his panic was already exposed.
"Jin'an..."
Blackbeard gnashed his teeth and shouted the other person's name, with a hint of anger and unwillingness in his tone.
He took a deep breath, and the gloom on his face eased a little. Then he raised a threatening sneer and spoke in a low and dangerous voice:
"Imu is locked in my dark space.
You don't want to face that guy again, do you?"
As soon as the words fell, the air seemed to become heavier.
Blackbeard's words were like a knife, piercing Jin'an's heart.
His eyes became more cunning, like a beast cornered, trying to use this last trump card to reverse the situation.
Jin An's brows slightly frowned, and a hint of coldness flashed in his silver pupils.
He did not respond immediately, but stared at Blackbeard coldly, as if his eyes could see through everything about him.
At this moment, Blackbeard felt an invisible pressure coming towards him, causing him to involuntarily take half a step back.
He gritted his teeth, trying not to show his fear, and continued in a cold tone:
“You know her strength, we almost got defeated by her just now even though we joined forces.
If I let her out, how long do you think you can hold out?"
Jin An still didn't speak, his hand tightly grasped the long sword, the blade still bore traces of battle, the sharp cold light made one dare not look at it closely.
His silence made Blackbeard feel uneasy. He didn't know what Jin'an was thinking, but this silence made him feel more uncomfortable than any counterattack.
Blackbeard tried to break the silence, his voice became even more gloomy:
“Jin’an, you should know that the fight between us can end.
As long as you lay down your weapons and agree to cooperate with me, I can seal Yim in darkness forever...
Otherwise, hehe, I won’t show mercy.”
Hearing this, Jin An finally moved.
He slowly raised his head, his eyes so cold that they seemed to freeze the air.
A faint sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth, and that smile was full of mockery and contempt.
"Blackbeard, do you really think that this kind of threat will work on me?"
His voice was low and calm, but every word was like a hammer, hitting Blackbeard's heart.
Blackbeard's expression changed, and he suppressed his uneasiness and managed a smile:
"Humph, I'm not threatening you, this is the truth!
Do you really want to face that monster and be in dire straits again?"
