"I will absolutely not allow this demonic tree to continue to exist in this world!"

Very well, it seems there's no room for negotiation!

Yang Ming narrowed his eyes slightly and secretly signaled the huge flower buds on the crown of the Ten-Tailed Divine Tree to spray pollen. This pollen was so strong that even Green Bull Wild Shepherd could not withstand it if inhaled, and would easily fall into a coma. Presumably, they would be no exception.

If some of the Red-Haired Pirates' officers could be made to faint, it would greatly reduce Yang Ming's burden, at least the firepower wouldn't be as intense as before.

Under the cover of night, the pollen is dispersed in the air very discreetly. Even someone as strong as Shanks would have a hard time noticing that the tiny pollen particles have such a powerful ability to induce unconsciousness. Even if they did notice it, they wouldn't understand what the Dark Lord Li Qing was up to for the time being, and they wouldn't have the time to pay attention to such minor details.

Red-haired Shanks and Hawkeye D. Mihawk exchanged a glance and smiled:

"I never thought we would one day fight side by side."

"Alright, let's see who can take the head of Li Qing, the Lord of the Night, first!"

In front of his old friends, Hawkeye Jorah Mihawk shed his usual aloof persona, appearing quite enthusiastic, as if he were about to have a sword duel. If his fans were here and saw this, they might be quite surprised.

He thought so and did it.

With a heavy stomp of his right foot, leaving a deep footprint in the ground, Hawkeye Jorah Mihawk charged straight at Yang Ming, almost horizontally close to the ground, his hands gripping the heavy black sword Night.

"One-Sword Style!"

In the instant between dawn and dusk, a pair of hands slowly rose, and in the clasp of the hands, only the hilt of a sword could be glimpsed, but the blade of the Black Blade Night could not be seen. This was because the Black Blade Night cut through the night sky in a semi-circular motion so fast that it did not even leave any afterimage, as if it had suddenly appeared in front of Yang Ming.

The essence of the Ittō-ryū school is that if you have a sword in your hand, you move forward with the sword; if you don't have a sword in your hand, you move forward without the sword.

A swordsman is himself a treasured sword that has been drawn from its sheath!

This strike embodies the peak power of Hawkeye Dracule Mihawk's spirit and energy, representing the highest level of unity between man and sword!

Yang Ming's pupils narrowed. Even with the Rinnegan's incredibly powerful dynamic vision, he could only catch a glimpse of Black Blade Yoru's movements.

"Well done!"

Although Yang Ming is now appearing as Li Qing, the Lord of the Night, and cannot use many of his methods, it does not mean that he is helpless!

"Eight Gates Formation! Open the gates! Open the lotus!"

A "crack" sound seemed to come from his abdomen, as if the genetic locks that limited the human potential had loosened. A continuous stream of power surged from his dantian to his limbs and meridians, giving Yang Ming a feeling of surging power.

"Ten times Kaio Fist!"

Yang Ming's muscles bulged, tearing through the black robe that shrouded his figure, transforming him into a humanoid beast. Every inch of his muscles was flawless, and the golden ratio of his muscle lines revealed his granite-like muscular lines. His biceps bulged high, with veins coiled on the surface of his skin, rising and falling like breathing, supplying his body with a large amount of blood.

A wild and domineering aura suddenly rose up. Yang Ming clenched his fists into fists the size of sandbags, fearless of Black Blade Night's attacks. An incredibly dense Armament Haki and Conqueror's Haki wrapped around his arms, as if he were wearing two gauntlets, allowing him to withstand the attack with a ferocious posture!

His punches were powerful and his movements were as swift as the wind!

As Yang Ming's fists thundered, sharp spikes sprouted from the sea of ​​shadows beneath his feet like bamboo shoots after a spring rain, seemingly intent on wiping everyone out, but in reality, they were disrupting the group's formation and preventing them from ganging up on him.

"Ding ding ding! Ding ding ding! Ding ding ding..."

The fists of flesh and blood collided with the heavy sword forged from steel, producing a resounding sound like the tolling of a morning bell and evening drum. Each strike felt as if it were pounding on someone's chest, causing immense discomfort.

"What a powerful force!"

Every time Hawkeye Jorah Mihawk clashed with Yang Ming, he felt as if his Black Blade Night was not slashing at a human body, but rather at a hard mountain rock. An indestructible toughness emanated from the blade, and a spiraling energy flowed up the blade. Even he felt a numbness in the tiger's mouth of his hands, and he had a faint feeling that he could not hold the blade.

This isn't human!

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call him a giant!

Seeing Hawkeye Dracule Mihawk falter, Shanks glanced at his teammates out of the corner of his eye. They were all busy and flustered under the onslaught of the Shadow Spikes, and the Ten-Tails God Tree was also interfering, constantly stirring up thunder and tornadoes to disrupt them. They couldn't get close to him for the time being.

"watch out!"

Red-haired Shanks leaped into the air, nimble as a flying dragon. A flash of silver light appeared, and the Griffin in his hand bloomed like a snow lotus in the wind, or shone like the bright moon. The terrifying sword strike, brimming with sword intent, made people tremble at the mere mention of it. Even Yang Ming felt a sharp edge behind him, as if he would be pierced through the guts by this famous sword, Griffin, in the next instant.

"Drink!"

Ignoring his entanglement with Hawkeye Dracule Mihawk, Yang Ming roared like a dragon, his body covered in dense dragon scales, transforming him into a humanoid Tyrannosaurus Rex. He unleashed a full-force punch, creating not only a sonic boom but also a powerful shockwave that swept towards Shanks!

This is a technique that can only be used after Armament Haki has been cultivated to a certain level.

The intensity of the shockwave is directly proportional to the strength of the physical body. The stronger the physical body, the greater the range and intensity of the shockwave. With Yang Ming's current physical strength, even Oz of the demon race would shed tears of shame upon seeing him. He has already reached the peak of human strength. This shockwave was as solid as a substance, like a white dragon soaring into the sky.

Chapter 349 Masters compete with each other

The intensity of the shockwave is directly proportional to the strength of the physical body. The stronger the physical body, the greater the range and intensity of the shockwave. With Yang Ming's current physical strength, even Oz of the demon race would shed tears of shame upon seeing him. He has already reached the peak of human strength. This shockwave was as solid as a substance, like a white dragon soaring into the sky.

The ultimate in power and the ultimate in skill collide at this moment.

"boom!!!!!!"

Two opposing Conqueror's Hakis clashed, with red and black lightning swirling between the two.

Spiderweb-like cracks appeared on the ground beneath their feet, and pieces of gravel defied Newton's laws, rising into the air only to be cruelly annihilated into dust by the aftershocks of their battle, scattering in mid-air.

Yang Ming's face turned pale, and he was about to vomit a mouthful of blood, but he managed to stop himself in time and swallow it back down.

First, he clashed head-on with Hawkeye Dracule Mihawk, and then he fought against Red-Haired Shanks. Clearly, this was a huge challenge for Yang Ming.

If you were to separate his muscles and examine them under a microscope, you would be able to see fine cracks in his meridians, clearly internal injuries sustained after fighting the two men.

Fortunately, Yang Ming possessed various passive skills, and after defeating the two, his internal injuries healed completely within just a few breaths.

Otherwise, if it were anyone else, continuing to fight these two would likely result in internal injuries accumulating and eventually turning into a malignant tumor that would take their life.

Yang Ming was surprised by the fighting power of Shanks and Dracule Mihawk, but weren't the two of them equally amazed by the strength of Lee Sin, the Lord of the Night?

Keep in mind, they are all at the royal level!

It's like two of the Four Emperors joining forces, yet they still couldn't quickly gain the upper hand. Just how terrifying is the strength of this Dark Lord Li Qing?

Not to mention, at this moment, only Lee Sin, the Lord of the Night, was present. It is said that all the officers of the Night Pirates were once famous dead on the sea, and even Shiki the Golden Lion was a member of his crew.

Thinking about it this way, the strength of the Dark Night Pirates is truly terrifying. They have been quietly accumulating power and have already reached the point where they could overturn the world order.

"Is it possible..."

Looking back, when Lee Sin, the Night Overlord, was exposed to the world, he declared that he was the successor of the will of Lox d. Gybeck.

"Does he really want to follow in Rocks' footsteps and overthrow the World Government's rule?"

It's no wonder Shanks is suspicious; Lee Sin, the Lord of the Night, has shown so many perplexing signs since his debut.

As one of the Four Emperors who replaced Kaido of the Beasts, Lee Sin, the Lord of the Night, was not as keen on expanding his territory and power as others, nor was he keen on recruiting soldiers. Instead, he would disappear every day, leaving people wondering where he was hiding. However, his Dark Night Pirates were indeed expanding their ranks and constantly accumulating strength. They had even once accomplished the feat of destroying the Holy Land Mary Geoise.

Red-Haired Shanks naturally did not want the order on this sea to be disrupted, not only because he was born into the Celestial Dragon family Figarand, but also because he wanted to fulfill the last wish of Pirate King Roger.

Only the chosen one who travels to the final island of Laugh Drodo can bring laughter and freedom to this long-decayed world!

Shanks's certainty wasn't based on blind idolization of Captain Roger, who raised him, but on the fact that it was true.

Destiny!

No matter how the world changes, it cannot escape the concept of destiny.

Back then, Kozuki Oden was certain that Wano Country would open its borders in 20 years. His wife, Kozuki Toki, traveled from 800 years in the past. After Kozuki Oden was killed, she sent her son Momonosuke and Kin'emon to the future, all so that they could meet and reunite with that chosen one, forge a bond of camaraderie, and help Wano Country open its borders.

These people are all convinced of their destiny!

Right now, Lee Sin, the Lord of the Night, is someone who could potentially disrupt the world order and influence destiny, giving Shanks another reason to eliminate him.

Between masters, there is no need for many words.

Hawkeye Jorakor Mihawk pressed forward once more, his Black Blade Night flashing like a tapestry of sword shadows. The Black Blade Night, which was as tall as a man, seemed weightless in Hawkeye Jorakor Mihawk's hands, and the blade struck Yang Ming's steel-forged body with heavy force, producing bursts of metallic clang.

Amidst the sparks, white knife marks were left on Yang Ming's hard dragon scales.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Yang Ming extended his dragon claw and, in the blink of an eye, grabbed Hawkeye Jorakor Mihawk's wrist. Facing the other party's horrified gaze, Yang Ming moved closer and delivered a powerful backslam into Hawkeye Jorakor Mihawk's chest.

With Yang Ming's current physical strength, this was like a human-shaped giant mountain crashing down on him.

With a crisp "crack," Hawkeye Jorakee Mihawk heard the sound of his sternum breaking. Before he could be thrown away, Yang Ming grabbed his wrist, using him like a human wooden stick, and spun him around like a whirlwind, fiercely attacking Red-Haired Shanks.

Seeing his friend's miserable state, Shanks almost laughed, but he felt that this was not the time to laugh at his friend, so he quickly suppressed his expression and frequently changed his footwork, weaving through the shadows of the sticks like a butterfly, constantly using feints and tricks to seek and create opportunities to attack.

The battlefield situation was changing rapidly, and Shanks' eyes lit up.

With a fleeting flash of silver light, the famous sword Griffin streaked across the sky like a shooting star, striking Yang Ming's hand hard.

A flash of cold light appeared first, then the sword shot out like a dragon!

Griffin's design differed from Black Blade Night's; he specialized in deadly thrusts. Gathering a single point of power, he broke through the dragon scales' defenses, piercing Yang Ming's hand through the back of his hand and exiting from his palm, drawing out a mouthful of hot blood.

Yang Ming, in pain, involuntarily loosened his grip and had no choice but to release Hawkeye Jorah Mihawk, retreating repeatedly.

In the short distance between those few steps, strips of flesh began to appear on the wound in Yang Ming's palm, gradually sealing it and preventing further bleeding.

Hawkeye Joraccoe Mihawk had just been grabbed and swung around by Yang Ming, serving as a human club for a while. The moment he fell to the ground, he lightly touched the ground with both feet, lifted himself into the air, did a somersault in mid-air, and landed firmly on his feet again. His face looked rather ugly, not only because of his broken sternum, but also because he had lost face in public.

Chapter 350 Embrace the shadows or die in the darkness

Hawkeye Joraccoe Mihawk had just been grabbed and swung around by Yang Ming, serving as a human club for a while. The moment he fell to the ground, he lightly touched the ground with both feet, lifted himself into the air, did a somersault in mid-air, and landed firmly on his feet again. His face looked rather ugly, not only because of his broken sternum, but also because he had lost face in public.

Hawkeye Jorah Mihawk rested one hand on his knee and the other on his Black Blade Night. His expensive clothes were tattered and barely held their shape; it was obvious that they would have been torn apart after the intense battle just now.

Black Blade Night was stuck upside down in the ground, and Hawkeye Jorah Mihawk looked up and stared ahead.

In the boundless darkness, the dazzling sword light illuminated the land, making it extremely bright. Whether it was Lee Sin, the Lord of the Night, or Shanks, the Red-Haired One, they were both among the strongest in the world. Their speed had long surpassed the limits of normal humans, reaching a level that ordinary people could not perceive with the naked eye.

Of course, this does not include Hawkeye Jolac Mihawk.

He could see two figures gracefully streaking across the sky, exchanging blows dozens of times in the blink of an eye.

Fist shadows, sword winds.

At this moment, it seemed as if only these two things existed between heaven and earth.

Even the thunderbolts and tornadoes unleashed by the Ten-Tailed Divine Tree could not get close to the two. Often, before they even got close, they were affected by the red and black lightning of the clash of their Conqueror's Haki and were directly annihilated halfway.

It can be said that the area where the two were fighting had long since become a forbidden zone where no living person could enter. Apart from strong individuals of the same level, any more low-level minions would only add to the casualties.

Bathed in the shimmering crimson moonlight cast down from the sky, Li Qing, the Lord of the Night, truly appeared as if a demon lord had descended. The surging shadows on his body seemed to drape him in a suit of shadow armor. From afar, he resembled a humanoid tyrannosaurus, brimming with boundless savagery and killing intent. Every punch and kick he made was filled with an aura of world-destroying destruction.

Even someone as powerful as Shanks, after repeatedly exchanging blows with Yang Ming, glanced with some heartache at the famous sword Griffin in his hand.

However, it was discovered that the famous sword, which was imbued with Armament Haki and Conqueror's Haki, had several small chips on its blade, which would be difficult to notice if one did not look closely.

For an ordinary person, a car is like their wife, but for a swordsman, the sword in their hand is their only companion.

Seeing the famous sword Griffin damaged, Shanks' heart was bleeding.
