#623 - Chapter 623 Yim's Surprise
Im stood in the air, her gaze coldly locked onto Jin An.
She could feel Jin An's aura becoming exceptionally powerful in a mere instant, a force that made her intuition uneasy.
She frowned slightly, but did not cease her actions, her eyes flashing with killing intent.
"Somewhat troublesome."
She muttered to herself, a cold smile tugging at the corner of her lips, as if she had everything under control.
"But you're just an ant, how could you possibly threaten me?"
Her figure suddenly vanished, appearing before Jin An in the blink of an eye.
The air behind her twisted violently, as if the entire space was collapsing.
Her speed was so fast it was impossible to fathom, her figure appearing like a ghost as she unleashed a stream of black energy with both hands, instantly enveloping Jin An.
Jin An's pupils constricted violently as the energy within him rapidly mobilized, his body reacting almost instinctively.
Just as Im's attack was about to reach him, he forcibly positioned his long blade in front of him, the blade flashing with a silver light, like a bolt of lightning cutting through the void.
"Boom—"
A deafening collision echoed throughout the battlefield, the air vibrating as if about to be torn apart.
Jin An felt the concussive force transmitted from the blade, the immense power nearly shattering the bones in his arms.
His footsteps retreated uncontrollably, each step leaving deep cracks in the earth, but he did not stop.
Instead, his eyes grew even more resolute, staring intently at Im before him.
"I am not afraid of you!"
Jin An gritted his teeth, enduring the excruciating pain throughout his body, and immediately launched a counterattack.
The newly surging energy surged within him like a volcanic eruption, his entire body enveloped in a layer of silver radiance, the blade flashing as his figure rapidly lunged towards Im.
His movements were swift and precise, each swing of the long blade like tearing through the void, carrying a destructive momentum.
However, Im's reaction was equally swift; she snorted coldly, her figure instantly disappearing from Jin An's sight.
Her speed surpassed even what it was before, seemingly beyond the range that the naked eye could track.
Jin An's eyes suddenly sharpened, his focus absolute, his nerves highly strung, and all his senses amplified.
He instantly sidestepped, avoiding Im's attack, the long blade slicing through the air, creating a suffocating storm.
Then, he abruptly turned, slashing his blade towards Im's back.
However, Im's figure vanished once again the instant the blade approached, like an intangible current of air, easily evading Jin An's attack.
She reappeared before him, her eyes carrying a hint of amusement and contempt.
"You do have some skill, but it's nothing more than that."
There was no fluctuation in her words, but the confident tone was like an absolute disdain for Jin An, as if she regarded victory as a matter of course.
However, a trace of determination flashed in Jin An's eyes, and suddenly, his figure vanished from the spot.
Im's expression shifted slightly, her senses quickly locking onto Jin An's location, but just as her gaze shifted slightly, Jin An's figure had already appeared on her right side.
"You want to run?"
Jin An sneered, a silver light rising in his eyes.
Im only felt a chill assail her as Jin An before her didn't pause in the slightest, his long blade already slashing towards her neck.
She hastily dodged sideways, the long blade brushing past her shoulder, creating a burst of sparks, but she was still forced back several steps by the power of the blade.
"You're starting to interest me."
Im tilted her head slightly, a cold smile tugging at the corner of her lips.
She clearly didn't take Jin An to heart, but her expression was a bit more serious than before.
Warning bells went off in Jin An's heart, he knew that Im wasn't truly giving her all.
Her power was far greater than what she was showing, and he couldn't help but feel an intense pressure coming from Im's aura.
Regardless, Jin An understood that this battle was not a simple exchange; whether he could survive depended entirely on whether he could break through himself and transcend his limits.
"I will make you understand that I am not as simple as you think!"
Jin An roared, the light in his eyes growing increasingly dazzling. The energy in his body had reached a peak, and he once again swung his long blade, launching an even more intense attack towards Im.
Im sensed Jin An's determination and power, and a trace of surprise flashed in her eyes.
However, she sneered the next moment:
"Not bad, your power is indeed much stronger than before, but it's far from enough to defeat me!"
She waved both hands, and the air surged like a storm, the space seemingly distorted by her power.
That energy carried an endless sense of oppression, instantly locking onto Jin An's entire body.
Each of her movements seemed to be weakening Jin An's resistance, and her attacks became increasingly frantic.
Two different forces collided like the sky collapsing and the earth splitting, the entire battlefield violently shaking, everything around them seemingly swallowed by this battle, smoke and dust filling the air, and mountains trembling.
Every undulation in the air made the surrounding space seem to be constantly tearing apart.
The battle was entering a fever pitch, the balance of victory still swaying, the two's power clashing against the order of the entire world, as if to completely tear this world apart.
Im's eyes flickered slightly, as if sensing an unusual aura, her intuition telling her that Jin An before her seemed to be brewing some unusual attack.
Her gaze was sharp as she stared coldly at him, wanting to find the source of this aura.
However, just as she was slightly distracted, Jin An's movements had already begun.
Jin An's long blade suddenly swung, a silver light flashing across the air like lightning, heading straight for Im with a piercing screech.
Immediately afterward, the surrounding air vibrated, Jin An's body disappearing in an instant, reappearing behind Im.
At the same time, accompanied by the swing of Jin An's long blade, the sky suddenly darkened, and a huge meteorite rapidly fell with world-destroying momentum, like a broken star, crashing down towards the area where Im was located.
A sharp glint flashed in Im's eyes, her figure almost disappearing in an instant, avoiding Jin An's blade, but her expression did not relax her vigilance.
She felt a strong threat, knowing that Jin An would not rely solely on this one blade, but had already prepared a perfect set of attacks.
Suddenly, the sonic boom of the meteorite crashing down was deafening, Im's gaze abruptly shifting, immediately noticing the enormous threat from the sky.
Her pupils constricted, wanting to dodge, but it was already too late.
"Boom—!"
The instant the meteorite collided with the ground, the huge explosion shook the entire battlefield, the surrounding air seemingly compressed to the point of being unbreathable in that instant, the intense shockwave sweeping out with dust and rubble.
The entire battlefield trembled incessantly, the void seeming to tremble, everything around them being covered by this roar.
However, Im was not completely hit. Her figure flickered, quickly rising into the air, dodging the direct impact of the meteorite, but the huge explosive wave still sent her flying, the surrounding rocks and dust mixed with the shockwave attacking her.
Just as Im had just stabilized her figure, Jin An reappeared before her.
At this time, his aura had become even more powerful, as if the entire world was shaking for him.
The long blade cut across the sky, carrying the momentum to destroy everything, slashing down fiercely towards Im.
"You can't escape!"
Jin An's eyes were burning with raging flames, his heart had long been ignited by the desire for revenge, all reason and calculation had turned into the purest killing intent.
With each swing of the blade, he poured all his strength into it, as if to split this world in two, breaking through Im's defenses.
A hint of sarcasm flashed in Im's eyes, although her figure was still in the air, her aura began to grow even stronger.
She looked up at the approaching blade, a cold smile tugging at the corner of her lips.
"You think, with just this little attack you can threaten me?"
She murmured softly, then raised both hands high, the surrounding space seemingly completely distorted by her aura.
Her figure disappeared again, Jin An's blade swinging through the air, cutting through the void, but failing to hit her in the slightest.
