Just as Jin An was about to continue forward, a familiar and cold laugh came from his ear.
His brow furrowed slightly, and a sense of foreboding suddenly arose in his heart.
Turning to look, a blurry figure slowly solidified in the smoke and dust.
Jaygarcia Saturn, who had already turned to ashes, reappeared before him with a strange smile.
The ashes gradually gathered as if reborn, reconstructing his body, his eyes filled with a chillingly vicious look.
His face was as sinister as if he had returned from the depths of hell, and the smile on his lips was even more mocking and contemptuous.
"No one can kill us," Jaygarcia Saturn enunciated each word like a knife, his voice carrying a cold distortion, "especially us, who have been blessed with the power of Lord Imu!"
He raised his hand, the bloodstains remaining on his fingertips drawing a strange arc in the air, as if still bearing the traces of the last fatal blow.
Yet, he stood here unscathed.
Jin An stared at the opponent before him, his brow furrowed.
He really hadn't expected that this guy could be resurrected after such a thorough and devastating blow.
Even with his past experience and composure, this scene still made his heart tremble slightly.
"He's still not dead after all that?"
Jin An muttered to himself, a hint of undisguised disgust and coldness in his eyes.
This kind of enemy was like a poisonous snake that kept regenerating even after being cut countless times, giving rise to a lingering sense of nausea.
Jaygarcia Saturn's smile became more and more hideous, as if Jin An's shock and disgust were exactly the expressions he had hoped to see.
He slowly took a step forward, his figure shrouded in an ominous black mist, with the eerie power bestowed by Imu vaguely emerging behind him, as if it contained the wails of countless vengeful spirits.
With each step, a circle of cold ripples spread across the ground, sending chills down one's spine.
"Jin An, your strength is indeed not to be underestimated."
He sneered, his tone full of mockery, "But so what if you're strong? Under the protection of Lord Imu, I am eternal—no matter how many times you try to defeat me, I will stand up again, until you despair!"
Jin An took a deep breath, suppressed the irritability in his heart, and gradually regained his composure in his eyes.
His eyes became cold and sharp, and the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a hint of disdain.
"Eternal?" His voice was low, but it carried an undeniable force, "What is your self-righteous 'eternity' worth, relying on the power bestowed by others?"
Before he finished speaking, Jin An suddenly clenched his fist, and the surrounding air instantly shook.
A faint layer of golden light slowly condensed on his fist, as if it contained some kind of invincible power.
He knew that the enemy in front of him was not only cunning and tenacious, but also possessed a near-immortal ability—this time, he had to go all out and strike at the root of the opponent.
The grin on Jaygarcia Saturn's face instantly froze, and he seemed to feel the pressure in Jin An's aura.
However, he still snorted disdainfully, and his figure suddenly soared, with a surge of violent power spreading around him.
Accompanied by the cold black mist, his body was once again strengthened by Imu's power, his eyes flashing with the madness of revenge.
"Since you refuse to accept your fate, then I will let you truly experience what it means to be 'invincible'!" He shouted sharply, his hands surging with dark energy, and pounced towards Jin An with death-like oppression.
Jin An did not retreat, his eyes becoming more and more stern. The opponent's arrogance and this disgusting power seemed to ignite some kind of will deep in his heart.
He smiled coldly, and suddenly exerted his strength. His blade-like attack collided fiercely with Jaygarcia Saturn's dark power, setting off a violent wave of air.
On the battlefield, the air was like boiling water, and the oscillating energy swept around.
The eyes of the two intertwined in the air, as if this moment's confrontation was not only a contest of strength, but also an ultimate showdown of will and belief.
Jin An's pupils contracted slightly, his eyes fixed on the magic circle behind Jaygarcia Saturn.
Several huge dark magic circles slowly rotated, outlining complex and strange runes, each exuding an icy chill, as if to devour all living beings.
A suppressed atmosphere gradually filled the air, like an invisible hand choking everyone's throats.
Jaygarcia Saturn's wild laughter echoed in the air, with twisted madness and endless arrogance.
"Despair?"
His tone revealed incomparable coldness and malice, and his eyes stared at Jin An as if looking down at ants, "Today, I will let you know what true powerlessness is, what the abyss of despair is!"
As his voice fell, the dark power in the magic circle gradually condensed into blurry figures.
Those figures seemed to come from the depths of hell, with a terrifying and ominous aura.
Twisted and scarlet eyes opened in the darkness, like hungry beasts, greedily staring at Jin An and his party.
Their forms were blurred, but they exuded unfathomable power.
"This is the dark legion bestowed upon me by Lord Imu—one of the most terrifying existences in the world, specializing in devouring stubborn people like you!"
Jaygarcia Saturn's tone was full of madness, his eyes flashing with excitement.
He raised his arms high, as if to completely release these dark monsters into reality.
Jin An felt the oppressive power, but his heart did not waver, but became more and more calm.
He knew that this battle would be extremely difficult, but he still stood there steadily, his posture straight, and a trace of firm light in his eyes.
Without any hesitation, he assumed a defensive posture, and a brilliant golden light gradually condensed around him, forming a sharp contrast with Jaygarcia's darkness.
Jaygarcia Saturn looked at Jin An triumphantly, with a crazy grin on his face.
"Come on, Jin An! Let me see how you struggle in this abyss! Let you clearly see that your so-called resistance is just a futile joke!"
Jin An gently exhaled, his face still stern, seemingly completely ignoring the opponent's threat.
The dark legion in front of him was approaching step by step, and the surrounding air seemed to freeze.
He did not respond, but his eyes were sharper, as if sharp blades pierced the opponent's heart.
"Since you want me to see despair," Jin An said in a low voice, his voice carrying an unshakable power, "then I will also let you see the truly unyielding power."
With that said, Jin An suddenly crossed his arms, and golden light shot out from his body, like the radiance of the rising sun, instantly dispelling the surrounding darkness.
Wherever the golden light went, the dark monsters condensed from the magic circle let out a shrill wail, their bodies dissipating like ashes, like purified souls.
Jaygarcia Saturn's eyes widened, a trace of unease flowing in his eyes, but he still wore a bluffing sneer on his face.
"Don't think that these little tricks can change anything!"
He roared, and once again urged the magic circle behind him, trying to summon more monsters.
However, the light around Jin An became more and more dazzling, and he approached step by step, his eyes revealing unwavering determination.
The golden light was like burning fire, gradually suppressing the darkness, and he instantly tore a crack of hope on the battlefield.
"Your despair is just a paper-thin disguise." Jin An's voice was low and powerful, his eyes cold and incomparable, "True power is not in these borrowed external objects, but in perseverance and faith."
As his voice fell, the golden light turned into a long rainbow, rushing straight towards Jaygarcia Saturn.
The madness on Jaygarcia's face gradually turned into fear, but it was too late to retreat.
Light and darkness intertwined, and a earth-shattering roar erupted in an instant, and the entire battlefield shook.
