#649 - Chapter 649 The sudden sound of drums

Jin An's steps were slow, yet incredibly firm. Each step he took carried a sense of oppression, and Blackbeard felt a heavy weight on his chest, as if with each step, he was drawing closer to death.

He didn't dare to look up at those deep eyes, eyes that held not a trace of emotion, so indifferent that they were suffocating, as if they had already decided his fate.

"Don't you think that someone like you, living, is the greatest irony to the world?"

Jin An's voice rang out again, laced with a hint of sarcasm, his eyes seeming to hold an endless abyss, waiting to devour Blackbeard.

Blackbeard's heart leaped violently, followed by a strange chill that rose from his spine, quickly spreading throughout his body.

His body was as stiff as if bound by cold chains, unable to move.

And the fear in his heart, like a dark vortex, began to rapidly devour his reason.

At this moment, Jin An's footsteps were close, and countless moments of life and death flashed through Blackbeard's mind.

He swallowed hard, his eyes beginning to become confused.

The Blackbeard of the past had been a decisive and resolute man, but now, he finally knew what was meant by "an irreversible fate."

What he faced was not only Jin An before him, but also his life's accumulation, all the betrayals and choices, finally meeting their deserved retribution.

Blackbeard lowered his head, a hoarse sound coming from his throat, carrying a kind of undisguised fear:

"Jin An... I was wrong."

There was not a trace of confidence in his words, only despair and helplessness.

He wanted to continue saying something, but his throat seemed to be stuck, unable to make a sound.

Only constant trembling spread across his body, making him completely feel that he had fallen into the abyss.

He suddenly reached out, wanting to grab Jin An's leg, begging him to let him go. But his movements were too slow, and Jin An's eyes were already as cold as a cold stone, unmoved.

"Beg me?"

Jin An repeated in a low voice, a hint of helplessness in his sneer.

Blackbeard's depraved and pleading appearance made him even more determined in his decision.

The once arrogant Blackbeard was now just a fugitive who had lost his pride in the face of life and death.

Jin An suddenly raised his hand, pointing to Blackbeard's heart, a cold action, full of ruthlessness and determination.

"I'll give you one last chance."

He said.

Blackbeard's heart beat even faster, he opened his mouth, trying to speak again, but no matter what, he could no longer undo his past mistakes.

Just as Jin An's fingertip was about to touch Blackbeard's heart, Blackbeard finally knew that his fate could no longer be changed.

The fear in his heart began to spread, but this time, he did not try to resist again, because he understood that resistance was meaningless.

"咚…咚…咚…"

The whole world seemed to tremble at this moment, the sound like a low rumble of thunder, coming from deep within Blackbeard's chest, heavy, thick, and the uneasy vibration seemed to solidify the air.

Each drumbeat struck Jin An's heart, causing him to pause slightly, as if the flow of time began to slow down.

Jin An's eyes narrowed slightly, watching Blackbeard warily, he knew that this change must mean something unusual.

Blackbeard had been beaten to the point of almost losing his ability to resist, and at this moment, the drumbeat in his chest was like a summons, carrying an unknown power.

Blackbeard's laughter also followed, the laughter initially weak, but as the drumbeat gradually strengthened, the laughter became more and more insane, as if endless dark power was erupting from his body.

"Hahaha... Finally here... Finally here!"

Blackbeard laughed wildly, his voice full of ridicule and disdain, as if Jin An in front of him was just an insignificant opponent.

His hands began to tremble slightly, but this trembling was not fear, but excitement, it seemed that even he himself did not expect that he could recover so quickly.

Jin An's gaze became sharper and sharper, he did not act rashly again, but quietly adjusted his posture, holding the hilt of his knife tightly, ready to respond to possible sudden changes at any time.

His intuition told him that Blackbeard in front of him would never give up so easily, that Blackbeard, who never played by the rules, would always have some unexpected means.

"You bastard..."

Jin An sneered in a low voice, a trace of coldness in his eyes, the hilt of the knife in his hand trembling slightly.

At this time, although he was covered in scars, he did not feel any retreat at any moment, he had already reached this point, and it was impossible to easily let the other party turn the tables.

However, at this moment, Blackbeard's eyes suddenly flashed with a fanatical light.

His pupils seemed to be burned by some powerful energy, the darkness in his eyes like a bottomless ocean, swallowing everything.

The corners of his mouth turned up slightly, revealing a smug smile, as if at this moment he was standing at the peak of the world.

"You think you can kill me?

Jin An, you are too naive!"

Blackbeard's voice was cold, hoarse, but full of some kind of malice, his fingers suddenly clenched into a fist, and immediately after, the drumbeat in his chest suddenly intensified, as if to tear his entire body apart.

"Boom!"

Accompanied by the loud noise, Blackbeard suddenly jumped up, his body leaping up like a beast.

His body became indestructible at this moment, and the originally weakened by serious injuries seemed to be instantly revived by some force, all the fatigue and pain were suppressed in the body.

That force made Blackbeard like a reborn person, like a monster crawling out of hell, not afraid of everything in front of him.

Jin An's face changed suddenly, his body took a slight step back, the change just now made him feel an unprecedented threat, as if Blackbeard's aura instantly filled the entire battlefield.

Blackbeard's laughter became sharper and more insane at this time, echoing in the air:

"It's time to let you know what a real powerhouse is!"

The dark power in his body began to surge, and you could almost feel an invisible energy wave impacting every inch of Jin An's skin.

The dual power of Blackbeard's Dark Fruit and Nika Fruit intertwined at this moment, bringing him power beyond ordinary people, almost making him stand at the peak of invincibility.

Jin An's brows were furrowed, his eyes became extremely sharp, but the vigilance in his heart was surging like a tide, he knew that if he did not take action again, Blackbeard might really be able to escape from his hands, or even counterattack.

But at this time, Blackbeard did not intend to talk nonsense with Jin An anymore.

He suddenly raised his arms, and the dark fruit in his body began to expand wantonly, forming a huge black vortex, devouring all light.

The vortex quickly approached Jin An at an alarming speed, like a monster with its mouth open, ready to devour him completely.

A trace of determination flashed in Jin An's eyes,

"In any case, this battle must end today."

His footsteps suddenly became rapid, and the blade drew a lightning-like trajectory in the air, facing Blackbeard's vortex.

The atmosphere on the battlefield instantly solidified, the auras of the two powerhouses intertwined with each other, and a strong aura of death filled the air.
