Chapter 639

Night Blade was hit directly by Locke's sword aura and fell to the ground, motionless.

Locke and Usopp breathed a sigh of relief, but they didn't have time to celebrate the victory because Arlong was still in the middle of the battle.

"Still not powerful enough!" Arlong's voice came from the battlefield, "I won't let you get your way easily!"

Locke and Arlong's sword moves were still intertwining, and neither side gave way. But a cunning look flashed in Locke's eyes; he suddenly leaped up, slashing toward Arlong's head.

Arlong did not expect Locke to do this; he raised the sword in his hand to block, but Locke changed his attack direction in mid-air, slashing Arlong on the shoulder.

Arlong shouted, lost his balance, and fell to the ground. Locke took the opportunity to step forward without hesitation and stabbed Arlong in the throat with his sword.

However, just as Locke's sword was about to pierce Arlong's throat, Arlong suddenly moved; his body turned slightly, avoiding Locke's attack, and at the same time, he stabbed toward Locke's back with his sword.

"Careful!" Usopp shouted a reminder.

Hearing Usopp's reminder, Locke turned around quickly and blocked Arlong's attack with his sword. The two's swords intertwined again, and the surrounding atmosphere became even more tense.

At this moment, Arlong suddenly launched a series of attacks, keeping Locke busy. Locke knew he had to find an opportunity to counterattack, otherwise he would be defeated by Arlong.

A thought flashed through his mind; he suddenly gave up resisting Arlong's attacks and slashed violently toward Arlong's chest.

Arlong did not expect Locke to do this; his body shook, and he was hit squarely by Locke's attack. At this moment, Locke seized the opportunity and stabbed Arlong in the throat with his sword.

Arlong wanted to dodge, but it was already too late; he was stabbed in the throat by Locke's attack, spat out a mouthful of blood, fell to the ground, and was motionless.

Locke took a deep breath; he felt physically and mentally exhausted. This battle was truly too arduous; he was very glad that he and Usopp had finally achieved victory. He put away the double-edged sword in his hand and panted heavily.

Usopp also breathed a sigh of relief; he looked at Locke and felt very admiring. "That was great, you are really strong."

"Huff... huff... I just had good luck," Locke said, his face full of exhaustion.

"No, you are really strong!" Usopp said excitedly, "Without your help, I might not have been able to win this battle."

Locke smiled slightly and patted Usopp on the shoulder, "We are good partners."
