At Last... It Was Over...

At that moment, Im felt the predatory stares of the two men and frowned slightly.

Her icy gaze swept over Jin An and Blackbeard, and a faint sneer curled across her lips:

"Pressing your advantage?

How laughable... Do you think this is enough to drive me into a corner?"

Though her tone was disdainful, her clenched fingers and trembling body exposed her exhaustion.

The successive battles and the sneak attack just now had already drained a tremendous amount of her strength.

Her mind raced through countermeasures as she adjusted her breathing, trying to regain control of the situation.

"Don't give her time!"

Jin An roared. He knew that every second Im had to catch her breath was a dangerous gamble.

He lunged forward, his long blade slicing through the air as it cleaved straight toward Im's chest with thunderbolt force.

The blade was like lightning tearing through the sky, carrying killing intent powerful enough to shake heaven and earth as it targeted her vital point.

"Boom!"

Im swiftly raised her hand. Black energy gathered in her palm, forming a barrier before Jin An's blade.

The instant the blade struck the barrier, sparks flew everywhere, and a massive shockwave swept across the entire battlefield once more.

But this time, Jin An did not retreat. His feet drove hard into the ground, both hands gripping his long blade as he pushed forward with all his strength.

The overwhelming force sent Im staggering back several steps, plowing two deep grooves beneath her feet.

"You...!"

Im's gaze turned cold, and a flash of anger crossed her face.

She quickly steadied herself, energy erupting from her hand again as she struck toward Jin An's chest with a backhanded palm.

Jin An swiftly twisted aside, but the aftershock of the palm strike still grazed his shoulder.
