High in the sky, the wind rises and the clouds surge, layers of dark clouds swirl, and two figures, one in black and one in blue, collide and stand there.
With a whooshing sound, a dazzling blue light crashed heavily to the ground.
As he plummeted to the ground, Ye Chen was enveloped in smoke and sparks flew intermittently, leaving behind a long tail feather before stomping heavily on the ground.
In a sorry state, blood dripping from Marco's mouth, enveloped in blue flames, he was thrown back by the shockwave.
Dust covered the ground, and pebbles flew through the air, hitting the ground and creating a crack. The surrounding jungle even formed a plain.
Ye Chen pulled his right foot out of the pit, his eyes cold. A large ripple of afterimages behind him gradually dissipated, and his true form had already appeared in front of Marco.
With a swift kick, the air in front of him began to groan. Marco's fur stood on end, and his hands transformed into wings, protecting him.
With immense force, like a flash flood, Marco was sent flying backward, piercing through two barren mountains and leaving a huge ravine. After tumbling through the air, he finally crashed at the end.
Unable to catch his breath, Marco retreated without a second thought. The next second, the earth shook and the ground churned, creating a storm.
Ye Chen's feet sank deep into the dust, and he charged at Marco again.
Enraged, Marco swung his leg out, but Ye Chen blocked it with his hand, causing the surrounding air pressure to explode.
Marco thought his kick would force Ye Chen back, but to his surprise, Ye Chen not only wasn't forced back, but instead withstood his attack.
A chilling aura swept over him as Ye Chen's left hand, billowing with black smoke, slammed down on Marco.
In an instant, light and sparks flew, accompanied by flames and a burst of smoke.
"Puff"
Marco was forcefully knocked away, spitting blood and losing most of his body. However, he was completely restored as blue flames enveloped him.
But at that moment, Ye Chen appeared beside him. Smoke and fire were still gathering in his left hand, but his right hand slammed down like Meteorite. The boiling dark golden Armament Haki on it made Marco's scalp tingle.
Spitting blood again, Marco, like an arrow with a broken bow, darted across a large patch of jungle, and with a tremendous explosion, pierced through a mountain.
Amidst the billowing smoke, Ye Chen vanished from his spot. Passing through the jungle, he grabbed a tree branch, which transformed into a spear covered in dark gold Armament Haki. He appeared beside Marco and thrust it down.
Blood splattered everywhere; Marco's left chest was pierced, and his face contorted in pain.
With a sideways kick, a tremor was felt, Marco's eyes bulged, and he coughed up a mouthful of blood, transforming into a blue rainbow as he flew out once more.
The earth shook violently, and amidst the falling rubble and dust, Marco, lying in a pile of debris, swayed as he got up. With a wince, he pulled the spear from his chest and threw it to the ground. Blue flames engulfed the wound, and it vanished instantly, restoring him to normal.
But Marco's face was very pale.
The blood-stained spear on the ground returned to its original form, turning into a tree branch.
In mid-air, Ye Chen slowly landed on the ground. Looking at the disheveled Marco, who had no wounds on his body but was pale, Ye Chen's sharp eyes were filled with determination.
On the other side, Marco was breathing heavily, staring at Ye Chen with murderous intent in his eyes.
He didn't know why this guy attacked right away, and in such a violent way; it was clearly an attempt to kill him.
Whatever the reason, all he knew was that the man before him was the enemy.
Even with his terrifying regenerative abilities, Marco was injured by Ye Chen's violent attack.
He is not Logia- type user; he possesses a physical form. Naturally, he would be wounded when attacked, but the blue flames healed him, achieving a different kind of attack nullification.
However, both healing and regeneration have their limits, and all of this depends on physical strength. The more severe the injury, the more physical strength is required for recovery. If Marco recovery speed will only slow down until it becomes impossible to recover.
There was no need for either side to speak, because Ye Chen's actions had already made everything clear: it was either you die or I live.
The ground exploded, a blue light flashed, and the two appeared in mid-air. Marco's hands transformed into wings, his right foot was covered in Armament Haki, and he kicked directly at Ye Chen.
Ye Chen also kicked out, and with a huge, muffled sound, the air pressure dropped, forcefully pressing the ground down.
The dazzling wings tore through the air like scratches, slashing down towards Ye Chen's neck.
With his eyes gleaming and billowing black smoke flowing around him, Ye Chen moved to the side first, his wings brushing past him, and with a powerful kick, he created a whistling sound.
The wings blocked his path, and the immense force caused Marco to plummet violently.
Hills rose abruptly from the ground, Marco coughed up blood, and his figure disappeared into the giant crater. At the same time, mountains collapsed and tsunamis surged, the giant crater expanded, and a dark shadow flashed by.
"Boom"
A dark golden foot collided with a blue claw. The immense force caused continuous destruction, and Marco simply couldn't withstand it. Clearly, in the contest of strength, he had fallen to a lower level.
Both were top-tier experts, but Ye Chen was undoubtedly stronger in terms of raw power.
In terms of attack power, Ye Chen is far superior to Marco, but in terms of regenerative ability, Marco is far superior to Ye Chen.
Moreover, Ye Chen has now Observation Haki Control, allowing him to anticipate every subtle movement. Even if Marco were to retaliate, it would be to no avail, leaving him only able to passively take the beating.
Debris tumbled and a massive cloud of dust billowed as Marco crashed to the ground, leveling the surrounding hills.
Immediately following, a blinding light appeared, and a terrifying mushroom cloud followed, causing the entire island to overturn and begin to collapse.
Amidst the billowing smoke, a dazzling blue light shot into the sky, followed closely by a plume of black smoke, and the entire landscape began to darken.
A chaotic, dark red lightning bolt snaked and twisted as Ye Chen unleashed his Conqueror's Haki, completely assaulting Marco's mind.
Marco was no ordinary man either; Conqueror's Haki couldn't shake his resolve in the slightest.
Visible to the naked eye, amidst the raging chaos, countless blue flames shattered and then merged, transforming into a magnificent, divine bird that flew continuously.
Amidst smoke and flames, Ye Chen appeared in the sky and stomped down on Marco. The entire space immediately became unbalanced, and a powerful force of gravity condensed at a single point, forcibly pressing down on Marco, causing half of Marco's body to shatter.
Regenerating in an instant, completely intact, Marco ascended before Ye Chen, a sharp claw reaching out to grab him.
Raising his hand to block Marco's face, Ye Chen shifted his body slightly, his large hand grabbing Marco's transformed claws, while his other hand reached for the wings and tore them apart with a fierce rip.
Accompanied by mournful cries, beautiful feathers drifted down, and blood splattered.
Half of his body was severed, Marco's face was covered in blood, and his other wing tore through the air from top to bottom.
With a cold glint in his eyes, Ye Chen dodged in advance, but at that moment, he paused, his face turning slightly pale. Observation Haki Control; the time was up.
However, the smoke and flames surrounding Ye Chen grew increasingly intense.
"Boom boom boom"
Having lost their hearing, amidst the interplay of light and shadow, everything was in chaos and torn apart. Two halos of light intertwined, and a massive, pitch-black mushroom cloud surged forth, gradually expanding and sweeping across everything.
A thousand years passed in an instant; the void was torn apart and appeared, as if being pulled by a giant hand.
As a surge of pressure descended upon the island, it began to collapse, and the surrounding seas were engulfed in towering waves.
