Chapter 669: Facing the Sword Head-on
Chapter 669: Facing the Sword Head-on
The storm has stopped.
Im hangs above the broken ice field.
He gripped the black sword of the Codex tightly.
The smell of death filled my nostrils.
The sword tip was pointed directly at Luffy below.
Ancient curse runes on the sword lit up one by one.
The dark red light illuminated half of Im's expressionless face.
That light carried a deadly attraction.
The remaining demonic energy from the battlefield crouched low towards the sword.
Black water churns on the ice surface.
The energy from the monster's corpse flew into the air.
They are waiting for the final command.
This sword is the absolute core of heaven and earth.
Luffy looked up.
His feet were firmly planted on the cracked ice.
The turbulent energy flow made his white hair dance wildly.
He did not back down an inch.
The white flames on his fists burned at their brightest.
Heatwaves and extreme cold clash fiercely.
He used pure white light to fight against the darkness above.
Im gripped the hilt of his sword tightly.
The pressure at the tip of the sword tore through the air.
A black ripple spread from the blade.
His gaze pierced through the wind and snow.
His gaze was fixed on Luffy's brow.
There was not a trace of warmth in his voice.
"The one who can force me to use the Sword of the Codex."
Im spoke in a cold voice.
"You're the first after Joy Boy."
These words resonated throughout the battlefield.
The evaluation from the King of the World.
An ancient and terrifying certification.
The Sword of the Codex was a nightmare of the highest wars eight hundred years ago.
It severed the brightest hopes of the old era.
Im placed Luffy in a position of threat equal to Joy Boy.
The probing is over.
He intends to end this battle with the highest level of carnage.
He wanted to personally eliminate this anomaly of the new era.
Joy Boy.
The name echoes across the ice field.
Luffy's expression remained unchanged.
He raised his right hand.
Hold the straw hat firmly on your head.
He doesn't care about eight hundred years ago.
They didn't even ask about the grudges of the old era.
His gaze passed over Im.
Look at the destroyed ice field.
Loki collapsed in the ice pit, severely injured.
Tie Lei clutched his chest, panting.
Chopper lay sprawled in a pool of blood in the distance.
Zoro was covered in blood but gripped his sword tightly.
And then there are those allies who are desperately retreating.
All the horrific scenes.
It was the purest form of anger in his eyes.
He is not bound by fate.
Not for ghosts from hundreds of years ago.
For the sake of my current partners.
Luffy suddenly raised his right fist.
White flames shot into the sky.
"I'll send you flying!"
Luffy roared.
The sound shattered the deathly silence of the icy plain.
Im's eyes grew even colder.
His wrist jerked violently.
The Sword of the Codex emitted an eerie buzzing sound.
Several thin, dark red chains shot out from the sword.
It sliced through the air like a venomous snake.
The goal is not to inflict damage.
It's to block Luffy's jumping route.
The chains rolled in from the left, right, and top.
Chains of black water condensed from the ice beneath our feet.
Luffy's domineering aura sensed danger.
He turned the ice beneath his feet into rubber.
Use your legs to exert force.
His body shot to the side like a cannonball.
A white afterimage.
The first two dark red chains missed their mark, grazing the afterimages.
But Im's combat instincts are terrifying.
The third chain had already magically sealed off Luffy's landing spot.
Chains intertwined into a net.
The landing point was completely blocked.
Luffy twisted his waist forcefully in mid-air.
Extend your left palm.
He slammed his fist into the air in front of him.
Armament Haki and Nika's power erupted simultaneously.
The air in front was blasted into a tough rubber ball.
Luffy slammed his foot onto the surface of the air blast.
Using the rebound force.
His body forcibly changed its trajectory.
He slipped through the tiny gap between the intersecting chains.
It was extremely dangerous.
A few wisps of dark red demonic energy brushed against his right shoulder.
The demonic energy was ignited by white flames the moment it touched the skin.
Black smoke billowed out.
This proves that Im's blockade can reach him.
It could pose a threat to him.
But these dark chains cannot bind the free sun god.
Im's reaction was surprisingly fast.
He seized the brief opening after Luffy changed direction.
The sword of the law is swung.
The true first sword.
A black sword light sliced across the sky.
The speed is extremely fast.
The warriors below did not see the sword-drawing motion clearly.
All they saw was a dark, straight line in the sky.
This straight line cuts space in two.
A dangerous intuition pierced Luffy's mind.
He instinctively leaned back.
We were still a step too late.
A black sword flash grazed his left shoulder.
A large portion of the white flame was corroded away.
Black liquid splattered on the skin.
The excruciating pain spread throughout my body.
A small black mark remained on his shoulder.
The black mark is only the size of a coin.
However, it contains extremely dangerous laws and power.
The white flames on Luffy's shoulder were forcibly suppressed by the black marks.
The piercing, corrosive sensation spread along the skin to the arm.
The white light began to dim.
Luffy gritted his teeth.
He mobilized all of his Armament Haki.
The dark purple aura transformed into a torrent of steel.
It was pressed firmly against the edge of the wound.
This cut off the path for the expansion of the blackwater.
He ignited Nika's life force.
Pure white flames burned fiercely from the inside of the muscles.
The black water toxins were burning outwards.
The two forces, one black and one white, clashed fiercely on their shoulders.
A hissing sound, like teeth pricking, filled the air.
The intense pain caused cold sweat to bead on Luffy's forehead.
He managed to keep the black mark in place.
The injured Luffy did not create distance.
He took advantage of the moment when Im retracted his arm after drawing his sword.
He stomped his feet hard, crushing the elastic air beneath his feet.
The enormous recoil force exploded into a cloud of white mist.
Luffy transformed into a sharp arrow.
He rushed to Im's side in an instant.
His right hand clenched into a fist.
The muscles expand to their maximum extent in the Nika form.
White flames and dark purple Armament Haki erupted simultaneously.
He punched the layer of demonic energy in front of Im's chest.
Its power is immense.
A violent impact force poured out.
The newly formed dark red protective shield.
A large section of it was shattered by that punch.
Black water splashed in all directions.
Im's pupils contracted.
He was forced to retract the Sword of the Codex.
He held the black sword horizontally in front of his chest to block.
A loud bang erupted.
White flames burned through the churning demonic energy.
The jet-black sword of the codex tore through the dazzling light.
Two extreme forces intersected in mid-air.
The air was filled with glaring black and white cracks.
The aftershocks of the raging storm transformed into a hurricane.
It swept across the ice field below.
Whitebeard used the Murakumogiri to pierce the ice and stabilize his body.
Rocks covered his entire body with Armament Haki.
Loki and Tigre clung tightly to the surrounding rocks.
Everyone was forced to retreat by the aftershocks.
The wind and snow lashed against their faces.
Everyone's eyes were fixed on the sky.
They saw it.
Luffy was grazed by the Sword of the Law.
Facing corruption at the level of laws.
He continued to advance instead of retreating.
He continued to fight back, staying close to the godlike Im.
Im's face was extremely gloomy.
He raised his black sword to block Luffy's heavy punch.
The two were pulling each other frantically within a few inches.
A cruel glint flashed in Im's eyes.
The ancient runes on the Sword of the Codex suddenly reversed.
An even stronger corrosive force surged from the sword.
He wanted to force this power into Luffy's arm along Luffy's fist.
Once compromised.
Luffy's arm will be completely useless.
Luffy's overwhelming power is about to explode!
He didn't try to tough it out.
Immediately loosen your fist.
The giant fist transformed into a palm.
His palms trembled like waves.
This relieved some of the terrifying pressure from the black sword.
At the same time, he concentrated the purest white flame into his palm.
The dazzling white light transformed into a wall.
He forcefully blocked the corrosive black water that was trying to flow back onto his skin.
The force backfired violently.
The two took advantage of the impact of the explosion.
It suddenly bounced backward in mid-air.
They increased the distance by tens of meters.
Luffy stood in the void.
He was panting heavily.
The black marks on his shoulder rose and fell, emitting black smoke.
Fresh blood dripped down his arm.
Im's situation is not easy either.
A gap was burned into the layer of demonic energy on his chest by the white flames.
White flames burned at the edge of the gap.
It cannot heal in a short period of time.
Both sides have seen it clearly.
The other party has the ability to kill them.
The atmosphere on the ice field has completely changed.
The probing is over.
The air was thick with the atmosphere of a deadly battle.
Chen Ye stood at an altitude of 10,000 meters.
He withdrew his senses from their spread.
Looking down at the two people below.
The next round of confrontation will be the most deadly.
This will determine whether Luffy can adapt to the attack rhythm of the Codex Sword.
The wind has stopped.
Im raised his arm.
The black sword of the Codex was raised once more.
The sword tip firmly locked onto Luffy's brow.
A deadly chill once again enveloped the entire venue.
His voice was devoid of emotional fluctuation.
"Be proud of it."
"Im said coldly."
"Then go die."
Luffy ignored the verdict.
His fists clenched again.
An even more intense white flame erupted from within his body.
The flames dispelled the surrounding cold.
Luffy stomped hard on the ice beneath his feet.
The immense force stomped a deep crater into the ice field.
Ice shards flew in all directions.
He didn't wait for Im to unleash that fatal blow.
His entire body transformed into a dazzling white light.
Facing the sword tip that symbolizes absolute destruction.
He rushed forward.
