yes he did just like zoro was using acoc vs king and king was still blocking his attacks
if I remember correctly, King parried Zoro's attacks because he feared that he would resort to ACoC, because he couldn't know when Zoro would choose to do it.
But it was still a short exchange and King, like Zoro, was now at his limit and it is likely that his gimmick defense was starting to falter.
In any case, Zoro himself at a certain point was surprised by the fact that King parried his attacks, probably even those without ACoC, but this can be explained simply by the fact that King had begun to fear the latent potential of Zoro's attacks and that he could have activated himself at any moment finding King unprepared.
I believe that even against in Lucci vs Zoro, Zoro resorted to ACoC initially, as we can see from the flames around his swords, but then went back to using lower haki.
Like Luffy, Zoro is also not yet able to manage the ACoC in the long term, and at any moment, this could still be too expensive for them, and this leads both of them to often resort to lower level skills so as not to risk exhausting themselves quickly and even risking defeat.
