Chapter 1366: Everyone's Cheating, Right?
Chapter 1366: Everyone's Cheating, Right?
Hearing this, Im paused slightly, then said indifferently, "I was indeed an architect before, but this is the All-Knowing Omnipotent All-Seeing Eye. It allows me to see everything in the world."
"Give me a break."
Kuro unraveled the chaotic disorderly space, his figure flashing like streaks of afterimage. In an instant, he appeared beside Im. Autumn Water slashed out like moonlight.
"Crescent Moon Slash!"
Clang!
The Black Light, resembling a crescent moon, was blocked by an ordinary sword blade.
Im gripped the blade, parrying the swift strike. As the sword clashed with the Black Blade, his nearly omniscient Spiral Eyes gazed at Kuro. "Just a quick draw slash."
Swoosh!
Kuro's figure vanished, reappearing on the other side. Autumn Water sheathed itself, then unsheathed again in a flash, transforming into hundreds of bladeafterimages that slashed toward him simultaneously.
"Hundred Shadows Slash!"
"A quick draw slash, no matter how fast, is still just a single blade. A blade will always remain a single blade."
Im tilted his head slightly upward, this time not even raising his sword. He simply extended his hand, pinching forward with two fingers. The hundreds of bladeafterimages scattered, leaving only a wisp of Black Blade, which he held effortlessly between two fingers as if it weren't a blade brimming with immense force but rather a plastic toy.
"Slash Wave!"
Kuro rotated his blade, releasing circular slashes from Autumn Water that repelled Im's fingers. He soared upward, swinging his blade to summon countless slashes.
"Lion!"
The slashes, mixed with Killing Intent and Haki, fell like a rainstorm.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The slashes struck the ground like violent explosions, slicing through the earth and kicking up a massive dust mist.
Yet from the dust mist emerged a figure wearing a conical hat, swaying leisurely as he stepped forward.
"Slash? A fine technique, but every trajectory is predictable. No matter how many you throw, you can never slash simultaneously."
Im tilted his head upward, his Spiral Eyes locking onto Kuro. "Under my eyes, nothing can hide."
"Oh?"
Kuro exhaled smoke from his cigar. "But you dodged earlier, didn't you? Haki does work on you, right?"
Not only did he see it, but Kuro himself confirmed it. If Im truly had an ability to ignore all damage, he wouldn't have dodged within that confined space.
Even calling it an ability might be generous. Abilities affected him, but those eyes...
"An eye that sees essence?" Kuro murmured.
An ability?
Or something innate?
He preferred to believe it was an ability. After all, this guy might look impressive now, but eight hundred years ago, he might have been just a "companion" of Joy Boy—a mere ordinary person.
"Try again!"
Kuro dove downward, sheathing Autumn Water before gripping the hilt. As he neared Im, he unsheathed it, splitting the blade into three to seal Im's escape routes, aiming directly for vital points.
"A divine slash, a magnificent sword technique, but—"
Im raised his sword mid-air, blocking Autumn Water's descent before the blade fully struck.
Clang!
Autumn Water halted halfway, caught by Im's blade, its downward momentum forcibly stopped.
"Still nothing special."
After blocking Autumn Water, Im loosened his grip, letting Kuro continue his dive before swinging his blade upward to slash Kuro's body.
Buzz!
The blade pierced through Kuro's body, but it rippled like water waves, dissolving into a phantom image.
Kuro reappeared in the sky, twisting his neck as he pulled a smear of blood from his nape.
"Experience?" Kuro narrowed his eyes.
Eight hundred years of experience, combined with eyes that seemed to see all—truly troublesome.
Even a pig living eight hundred years would become a spirit. Let alone a person.
"You think you can intimidate Old Man that easily?"
Kuro tightened his grip on Autumn Water, spitting out the cigar in his mouth as he inhaled deeply. "I don't believe I can't land a single hit on you!"
Swoosh!
His figure transformed into afterimages again, radiating black light as he appeared above Im, slashing downward.
Im sidestepped, letting Autumn Water pass before raising his blade to counterattack. Suddenly, a ribbon shot from Kuro's body, racing toward Im.
"Hm?"
Im uttered a surprised sound, stepping back. His all-seeing eyes flicked toward the blood-colored ribbon.
"Interesting. Abilities, sword techniques, Killing Intent, Haki—all your strengths combined? A fine move, but strength is still strength. Fundamental strength can always be countered with the same."
He reached out, gripping Wu Sheng Kong Sha's ribbon. The immense force even pulled Kuro forward as Im spun the ribbon twice, hurling Kuro away.
Kuro halted mid-air, frowning as six ribbons unfurled around him.
"Like a butterfly, or a flying spider?"
Im's tone carried amusement. "But no matter what, under my eyes, you're still just an insect."
"Begin."
Kuro's free hand raised two fingers, summoning Absolute Domain around Im. One ribbon imprinted itself on Autumn Water as he swiftly dragged his fingers across the blade. Gripping the hilt, he swung forward.
The blade entered Absolute Domain, warping the air into a single razor-edged wave slicing downward through space.
"Unenlightened Divine Wind Murderous Sword · Bone Whistle!"
The slash cleaved even the air itself, carving a massive gash in the ground, as if a chunk had been torn away.
Yet within that gash, Im simply raised his sword high. The severed air flowed upward along the blade, leaving only a wisp of residual energy in the shape of a sharp cone untouched.
It pierced through.
"I told you—any strength can be countered. No matter what strength, nothing escapes my eyes."
Im turned toward Kuro. As his figure moved, Kuro's pupils constricted. Several Wu Sheng Kong Sha ribbons shot forward, but Im appeared before them, grabbing them with one hand while thrusting his sword with the other.
Clang!
Autumn Water met the sword blade, but Im pushed forward, sending Kuro flying backward.
The captured Wu Sheng Kong Sha ribbons dissipated.
Im lightly landed on the ground. "If this is all you've got, don't bother waking me. I'm already tired. Just die quietly, and everything will return to normal."
"You're quite arrogant", Kuro clicked his tongue. This guy's strength wasn't overwhelming, yet he managed to push him back—remarkable.
Those eyes—could they truly detect everything, then analyze and counter its essence?
"Is there truly nothing in this world that can escape your eyes?"
Kuro swiftly dragged his fingers across Autumn Water, sparking golden light. "Let's see, Old Man doesn't believe it!"
"Shinmeiryu Style Mystic Art · White Tiger!"
As he swung his blade, a phantom White Tiger emerged behind Kuro. The beast extended its massive claws, roaring toward Im.
Im's eyes widened instantly, as if witnessing something impossible. The claw forced him to move, dodging swiftly.
"Why'd you dodge?!"
A gruesome grin spread across Kuro's face. "Because your eyes have never seen this technique before, right?"
If you claim to know everything, seeing through history and strength alike—then here's something you haven't seen.
After all, if others can cheat, why can't I?
