Of course.
Unlike Shanks and the others who felt relieved, the mood of the Five Elders, no, now the Four Elders, was much more complex.
On one hand, they were grateful for Kong Tai saving them. On the other, they were shocked by Im's true form and terrified that they would be annihilated along with them.
However, shock or not, the battle would not stop.
Seeing Shanks and the others attack again, the four old men, along with the CP organization and the Divine Knights behind them, proudly mustered their spirits and engaged once more.
There was no luck here, nor any begging for mercy. From the beginning, this war was destined to continue until one side completely fell.
Therefore, even though they knew they were at a disadvantage, an absolute disadvantage, the four old men had no intention of stopping.
After all, both sides had set out with the intention of killing the other.
This sentiment would not end because of the two figures above; it would only grow stronger.
Currently, the Five Elders were at a disadvantage, and Shanks and the others would not stop.
When the Five Elders had the advantage, they would not stop either.
This was the cruelty of this war.
"Control space."
Im, looking at the constantly shrinking sun above Kong Tai, racked her brain on how to attack.
Why did she attack the ground instead of Kong Tai himself? Of course, it was because even she had no way to deal with Kong Tai's teleportation!
Only by attacking the planet below could she force the young man to care about the people of the world below and truly attack him.
But now...
The giant dragon shrunk, instantly becoming a small dot. Instead of a black robe, she wore red.
Her red hair fluttered in the wind like a roll of silk. Coupled with a face of otherworldly beauty, Im exuded a stunning charm at this moment.
But on this battlefield in the sky, no matter how beautiful she was, no one could appreciate it.
Her massive body brought an innate pressure of strength, but it also had the disadvantage of slow reaction, making her a target.
Therefore, after a moment of contemplation, Im reverted to the form her mental body displayed.
She extended her right hand from her red robes and gently grasped the void. A long sword burning with pure white flames appeared out of thin air in her hand.
Without giving the young man and the world below a chance to react, Im held the sword with both hands and raised it above her head.
With a bang, the long sword suddenly expanded, erupting with towering flames that shot straight into the sky, like a line of fire extending all the way to outer space above the atmosphere.
"The attack range is still not large enough for you to block. Let's see how you block this sword of mine."
Looking at the young man, Im's eyes were always cold.
"World Annihilation!"
With a roar, the giant sword fiercely slashed downwards.
As it descended, the giant sword became a crescent, trailing a long fiery tail and shattered silver light, transforming into a scythe of death meant to cleave the world below.
The fiery blade instantly shattered the clouds, and an orange glow replaced the sun, making everyone near the Red Line Continent feel the world-ending might from the heavens above at that very moment.
Beneath this might, the silver-haired youth looked up with a solemn expression, his azure pupils swirling with nebulae, and a special fluctuation instantly spread outwards from him.
"Does this guy really want to destroy this world?"
Looking at Im, Kong Tai's eyes were filled with killing intent.
"The attack is indeed powerful, and the range is indeed vast, but it hasn't exceeded the limits of my domain."
At this time, the diameter of his domain could cover an area of several hundred kilometers.
Within this circular domain, he could block any attack, even if it was a full-powered assault from a star realm expert who surpassed this world, surpassed him, and could destroy the world below.
*Pfft!*
It was like a watermelon knife slicing a watermelon. Kong Tai's expanding domain was easily cut by the giant blade, but it didn't matter. His domain was an infinite overlap of space.
Moreover, the cutting of space did not necessarily mean the void within was also cut.
Therefore, the moment the giant blade landed on Kong Tai's domain, the situation of the sun falling earlier reappeared. From rapid descent to being frozen in the sky, it only took an instant.
"Open up for me!"
Im gripped the sword hilt, pressing down with both hands.
She could feel the sword still descending, but outwardly, it seemed frozen in place. No matter how hard she pushed, the blade did not move down even an inch.
Looking at the silver-haired youth beneath the blade's light, Im's heart felt a frozen coldness, just like the sword in her hand.
"No way, no way, am I going to be sealed again just after coming out!"
She was confident that the young man could not kill her, but this strange space could seal her. She even considered another possibility.
The young man's attack might not kill her, but the void behind it could!
With the young man's control over space, it would be a matter of minutes to throw her into the dark world beyond the void.
The more Im thought about it, the heavier her heart became.
"No, I need to leave."
Shaking her head, a hint of retreat appeared in Im's cold eyes for the first time.
"Want to leave?"
As if sensing Im's thoughts, Kong Tai retracted his gaze from the sword and fell upon Im.
At this moment, a mocking smile curved the young man's lips, mocking Im's ignorance and overconfidence in her own strength.
"You want to leave now, don't you think it's too late?"
Kong Tai took a step forward, and his figure instantly appeared in the middle section of the giant blade.
He reached out and lightly touched the blade, which, despite burning with flames, was exceptionally cold. His eyes suddenly narrowed.
The surrounding space began to contract rapidly. Along with it, the giant blade that spanned the entire sky also contracted, and so did Im's body.
Feeling the pulling force of space around her body, Im didn't think twice. She let go of the sword hilt, turned, and punched hard, shattering the void behind her, intending to escape through this broken void.
With her speed, as long as she left this strange space, she would reach the moon in no time.
There was the void wormhole that brought her to this world. Once she entered it, she could quickly return to the starry sky she originally belonged to.
Once she returned home, she believed that no matter how bizarre the silver-haired youth was, he could do nothing to her.
"Hmm!"
Passing through the shattered space, Im suddenly lowered her head and looked down in confusion. Her dark red pupils, at this moment, seemed to have seen something terrifying, instantly shrinking to a dot.
"Not advancing, but retreating..."
Then she punched through the void in front of her again and walked through without hesitation. "Still the same, still the same, no progress at all."
"Impossible, impossible. How can there be such a monster in this world?"
Shaking her head, Im seemed to recall something and suddenly looked up, her gaze sweeping around, her face showing extreme shock.
"This, this, this, this is not just one layer of space, but an overlap of countless spaces."
At this moment, she understood why the young man could easily block her attack.
