At this moment, Imu felt the two pairs of eyes staring at her like tigers eyeing their prey, and her brow furrowed slightly.
Her gaze swept coldly over Jin and Blackbeard, and a faint sneer appeared on the corner of her lips:
"Pressing your advantage?
How laughable... Do you think you can push me into a corner like this?"
Although her tone was contemptuous, her clenched fingers and slightly trembling body betrayed her fatigue.
The successive battles and the sneak attack just now had greatly depleted her strength.
Her mind raced, considering countermeasures while adjusting her breathing, trying to regain control of the situation.
"Don't give her time!"
Jin roared, knowing that every second Imu had to breathe was a dangerous gamble.
He charged out, his long sword slicing through the air, carrying a thunderous momentum straight towards Imu's chest.
The blade was like lightning tearing through the sky, carrying a earth-shattering killing intent, aimed directly at her vital point.
"Boom!"
Imu quickly raised her hand, and dark energy condensed in her palm, transforming into a barrier in front of Jin's blade.
The moment the blade collided with the barrier, sparks flew everywhere, and a huge shockwave swept across the entire battlefield once again.
But this time, Jin did not retreat. His feet were firmly planted on the ground, his hands gripped his long sword, and he pushed forward with all his strength.
That powerful force directly forced Imu back several steps, and two deep marks were plowed into the ground beneath her feet.
"You...!"
A cold glint flashed in Imu's eyes, and a hint of anger flashed across her face.
She quickly steadied herself, and the energy in her hand exploded again, striking Jin's chest with a backhand.
Seeing this, Jin quickly dodged to the side, but the aftermath of that palm still swept across his shoulder.
His body swayed slightly, and blood oozed from his shoulder, but his eyes remained as sharp as a blade.
Just as Imu counterattacked, Blackbeard's figure rapidly approached from the other side.
His hands were shrouded in darkness and elastic power, and the powerful dual-fruit ability was displayed to the fullest at this moment.
His fist slammed towards Imu's back like a meteor, carrying a world-destroying aura.
"Zehahaha! Woman, your end has come!"
Blackbeard laughed wildly, and his fist slammed down.
Imu sensed the killing intent behind her, her eyes suddenly turned cold, and her figure quickly disappeared from the spot.
Blackbeard's fist slammed into the ground, directly blasting a huge pit in the earth, with rubble and dust flying everywhere.
However, just as Imu dodged Blackbeard's attack, Jin's blade came at her once again.
That slash was as fast as lightning, directly cutting towards her waist.
"Clang!"
Imu hurriedly waved her palm to block the blade, but the powerful force still shook her back several steps.
Her face was slightly pale, and her breathing began to become rapid.
"Damn it..."
Imu cursed in a low voice, a hint of undisguised annoyance flashing in her eyes.
She had never been forced into such a situation like today, and the feeling of being continuously suppressed made her feel a strange sense of anger.
Jin did not stop. He stepped forward suddenly, and the long sword in his hand turned into a shadow of blades, launching a series of fierce attacks on Imu.
Each of his slashes carried an incomparably sharp killing intent, as if to completely force Imu into a dead end.
At the same time, Blackbeard did not stop either. His hands waved wildly, and the power of the Dark-Dark Fruit and the Nika Fruit intertwined in his hands into a violent dark storm.
Although his attack was not as precise as Jin's, the unreasonable suppressing force made it difficult for Imu to ignore.
The two of them flanked Imu from different directions, and each attack was perfectly coordinated. The offensive pressed towards her like a storm, completely suppressing her counterattack to a minimum.
"Boom boom boom!"
Each collision was accompanied by a huge explosion, and the entire battlefield was almost completely destroyed.
Imu's figure constantly dodged in the storm of attacks, her face becoming paler and paler, and her movements began to appear sluggish.
Although she was still trying to maintain her composure, her body was already faintly swaying.
Jin seized an opening and slashed down with his long sword, cutting Imu's shoulder.
Blood splattered again, Imu's body staggered backward, and the composure on her face was completely replaced by anger.
"Jin... Blackbeard..."
She whispered the names of the two, her voice filled with a strong killing intent,
"You will pay the price for your stupidity today!"
However, Jin and Blackbeard did not give her a chance to counterattack. Their offensive became more and more fierce, directly approaching Imu's limit.
The balance of victory seemed to be quietly tilting.
The entire battlefield was filled with a deathly silence, the air seemed to be frozen, and all the light was shrouded in darkness.
Jin and Blackbeard stood in the chaotic ruins, breathing rapidly and covered in wounds. They did not exchange any words, but just stared at Imu in front of them.
Imu's eyes became more and more gloomy, her body kept swaying, and her fatigue was evident.
The deep wound on her chest was still bleeding, making it almost impossible to maintain that cold and ruthless exterior.
She gritted her teeth, her heart filled with regret and anger - she had not expected that her power of hundreds of years would be forced to this point by the two of them working together.
She waved her hands violently, and black energy surged like a tide, devouring everything around her.
Her face gradually turned pale, and the emotion of anger and despair almost suffocated her.
"Impossible... I won't lose..."
She muttered to herself, her eyes filled with unwillingness and determination.
However, there were no loopholes in the cooperation between Jin and Blackbeard. They had already anticipated Imu's reaction and prepared to meet her final struggle.
Jin's eyes were cold, and he slowly raised the long sword in his hand, his clenched hands trembling slightly.
Although he still had deep wounds on his body, the burning determination made him fearless.
He looked at Blackbeard, his eyes solemn and firm.
Blackbeard was no longer laughing at this time, and his face was full of fighting spirit.
His body was bent, his hands stretched out like the claws of a beast, and dark energy surged again, forming a huge dark vortex behind him.
The vortex swallowed all the light, like a never-ending night.
"Die, Imu."
Blackbeard sneered in a low voice, and pushed his hands forward suddenly.
With his movements, the dark power in the vortex rushed towards Imu like a torrent.
The overwhelming force surrounded Imu, and under the spread of darkness, her figure was quickly swallowed, and the whole person was dragged into the vortex.
Imu struggled desperately, but her strength was no longer at its peak. The power of darkness was like an endless abyss, quickly tearing and devouring her body.
Her struggle became weaker and weaker until she was completely swallowed by the darkness.
"No! I can't lose!"
She opened her eyes wide, as if trying to break free from the vortex, but it was too late.
Blackbeard's darkness swallowed her last trace of resistance, and Imu's figure completely disappeared into the darkness.
After a moment, the battlefield returned to silence.
The air was filled with the smell of blood and destruction, deep scars were left on the ground, and the whole world seemed to be silent because of this battle.
Blackbeard breathed a long sigh of relief, but his eyes flashed with excitement.
"Zehahaha! Finally... it's finally over!"
He laughed loudly, his laughter resounding through the sky, like a gust of wind sweeping across the entire battlefield, shaking the surrounding rubble.
Jin leaned on his blade, his eyes were calm, as if he was slowly recovering his strength.
Although his heartbeat was steady, his eyes still flashed with vigilance.
The battle just now made him realize that although Imu had been defeated, this world was still full of too many dangers.
