Upon hearing this, Im paused slightly and said calmly, "I was indeed an architect before, but this is the all-knowing, all-powerful, and all-seeing eye that allows me to see everything in the world."

"Come on, don't give me that."

Kuro untangled the chaotic and disordered space, his figure flashed, turning into afterimages, and quickly appeared beside Im, his Autumn Water Strike almost as bright as moonlight.

"Moonlight!"

when!

The moon's dark light was blocked by an ordinary sword blade.

Im gripped the blade, blocking the swift attack. As the blade clashed with the black sword, his almost all-seeing eyes looked at Kuro and said calmly, "Just a quick draw and slash."

Whoosh!

Kuro vanished and reappeared on the other side. Shusui had already sheathed her sword, but quickly drew it again, transforming into hundreds of afterimages of blades that slashed out simultaneously.

"Hundred Shadow Slash!"

"That's just a quick slash when you draw your sword. A sword is always just a sword, no matter how fast it is."

Im tilted his head up, this time without even raising his sword. He simply stretched out his hand, pinched two fingers forward, and the hundreds of afterimages of the blades vanished, leaving only a black blade, which he held firmly with two fingers, as if it were not a knife full of immense power, but a plastic toy.

"Slash Wave!"

Kuro spun his blade, unleashing a circular slash from the Autumn Water, which knocked away Im's two fingers. He then flew upwards again, flicking his blade to unleash countless slashes.

"Lion, True, Thousand-Heart Valley!"

The slashes, imbued with killing intent and domineering power, fell like a curtain of rain.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The strike landed on the ground like a violent explosion, cutting through the earth and kicking up a large cloud of dust.

But amidst the dust and mist, the humanoid figure wearing a cone-shaped hat reappeared and swayed as it walked out.

"A slash, that's a pretty good move, but the trajectories of the attacks are all ordered. No matter how many there are, you can't possibly slash them all at once."

Im looked up, his round eyes fixed on Kuro. "Nothing can hide from my eyes."

"oh?"

Kuro exhaled smoke from his cigar, "So you still dodged it, didn't you? Haki works on you, doesn't it..."

Not only did he see it, but Kuro himself could also see it. If he really had the ability to ignore all damage, then he wouldn't have been dodging in that extremely confined space.

It wouldn't be accurate to say that he was completely ignoring the ability; the ability was effective against him, it was just those eyes...

"Eyes that see the true nature?" Kuro murmured.

ability?

Or is it innate?

He was more inclined to believe it was ability. After all, this guy looked pretty impressive now, but eight hundred years ago, he might have just been a 'partner' of Joey Boy, an ordinary person.

"Try again!"

Kuro lunged downwards, and after Shusui fell into its sheath, he grabbed the hilt and drew the sword as he approached Im. The blade split into three, blocking any possibility of Im's escape, and aimed straight for his vitals.

"A divine strike, magnificent swordsmanship, but..."

Imti raised his sword, blocking Qiushui's trajectory before the blade could fully cleave down.

when!

Autumn Water was halfway down when it was stopped by the sword blade, which blocked Kuro's slashing motion.

"It's nothing special."

After blocking Shusui, Im loosened his grip, allowing Kuro to continue his downward plunge. He then raised his sword and slashed down at Kuro.

Buzz!

The sword pierced through Kuro's body, and his body rippled out like water before dissipating into a phantom.

Kuro appeared in the air, twisted his neck, and reached down to touch the back of his neck, drawing out a little blood.

"Experience?" Kuro squinted.

With eight hundred years of experience and those eyes that seem to see through everything, he is indeed a formidable opponent.

Even if it's just a pig, if you let it live for eight hundred years, it will become a spirit.

Let alone an individual.

"You think you can fool me? Not so easy."

Kuro gripped Shusui tightly, spat out his cigar, and took a deep breath. "I refuse to believe I can't cut you down!"

Whoosh!

His figure once again transformed into a blur, radiating black light, and appeared directly above Im, slashing downwards with his sword.

lingdian.

Im dodged to the side, letting the Autumn Water Blade flash past him, and raised his sword to counterattack. However, at that moment, a ribbon flew out of Kuro's body and headed straight for Im.

"Um?"

Im gasped in surprise, took a step back, and glanced at the blood-red ribbon with his all-seeing eyes.

"Interesting. So all the power—ability, swordsmanship, killing intent, domineering aura—is here? It's a good move, but power is power, essential power. It can be blocked by the same thing."

As he spoke, he reached out and grabbed the ribbon of the Void Killer, using immense force to pull Kuro up, wrap the ribbon around him twice, and then throw Kuro away.

Kuro hovered high in the sky, frowning as he watched the scene unfold. The ribbons around him began to float out, turning into six ribbons.

"Like a butterfly, or like a flying spider?"

Im said with a smile, "But no matter what, in my eyes they are just insects."

"rise."

Kuro raised two fingers of his free hand, and Absolute Void reappeared around Im. A ribbon was imprinted on the water. He quickly smeared the two fingers on the blade, then gripped the hilt with both hands and swiftly swung it forward.

The blade enters the absolute void, causing the air to ripple and transforming into a single, sharp blade that slashes down through space from top to bottom.
