Ice Age Apocalypse: I Hoard Billions of Supplies

The duel between Liang Yue and Tsukamoto Nobunaga grew increasingly fierce.

In terms of defense, they were no match for tank-type fighters like Baili Changqing and Daiku Kai Enzu.

Therefore, any cut could result in anything from serious injury to death.

After exchanging arm-for-arm blows, both had a clear understanding of each other’s strength, and neither dared to let their guard down even slightly.

The following battles all unfolded in the blink of an eye.

To win, they had to cast aside fear, even their lives, just to seize a sliver of opportunity.

Zhang Yi instinctively raised his Thunderbolt rifle, but hesitated and did not shoot.

This was a martial artist’s duel. Zhang Yi had no so-called noble ideals and naturally did not care about fairness.

But to Liang Yue, fairness mattered deeply.

If Zhang Yi fired a shot behind Nobunaga’s back, it would indeed create an excellent opening for Liang Yue.

However, that could form a psychological barrier for her, striking at her pride as a martial artist.

Yet now, Zhang Yi could not miss such a good opportunity either.

After a moment, a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth as he came up with a brilliant idea.

He did not shoot but activated his Precision Shooting ability, locking onto the back of Nobunaga’s head.

“How does it feel to have an expert watching your back?”

Being locked on by a team leader-level figure sent a chill through anyone’s heart and mind.

Especially for a powerful warrior like Nobunaga, his senses were even sharper. The moment the gun aimed at the back of his head, he sensed it.

No one could remain calm in such a moment.

His brief distraction was instantly seized upon by Liang Yue.

Martial arts masters settle fights with a single move; any mistake would determine life or death.

Liang Yue’s blade was swift, like a gale sweeping across a snowy plain, vanishing in an instant.

Her strikes were both fast and ruthless.

Nobunaga’s blade was also fast, but his mind was chaotic.

Though he swung his sword to block Liang Yue’s, the momentum was no longer as confident or powerful as before.

“Crack!”

Liang Yue seized the moment to exert strength, gripping Dragon’s Roar with both hands and slashing fiercely at his body.

The two famous swords, Daihannya Nagamitsu and Ayanokouji Tantou, shattered simultaneously beneath that strike!

“Whoosh!”

Dragon’s Roar sliced from his left shoulder to his right abdomen, blood spraying from his strong body.

Nobunaga stared at the splattering blood in disbelief. He even heard the sound of blood spraying, like the wind from his hometown.

“Thunk!”

He slowly knelt to the ground. Liang Yue passed by him and, with a backhanded strike, severed his head.

Looking at his once-prized twin swords, Liang Yue said coldly, “So-called ancient famous swords are already outdated. Those immersed in history hesitate to move forward, forgetting to look ahead. How can they be called experts?”

At the command center, cheers erupted.

The Celestial Hound Squad kept slaughtering Moon of Corrosion members, how could they not be thrilled?

“Next, only their leader remains!”

Zhu Zheng said gravely, “Kill him, and this mission will be complete!”

Secretary Lan Xincheng approached and complimented, “Commander Zhu has a keen eye for talent; he discovered Zhang Yi!”

Zhu Zheng smiled and nodded, “I didn’t expect it either. This kid exploded with incredible power when pushed to the brink!”

“He has the strength of a team leader level! And as an outsider from the Outer City, his talent is unimaginable!”

Sun Luxuan reminded, “However, Phoenix Ren isn’t dead yet! According to our intelligence, Zhang Yi’s dimensional space cannot hold excessive energy.”

“Trying to trap a team leader level may be difficult. If he breaks free, it will be extremely dangerous.”

Zhu Zheng’s smile faded.

He folded his hands beneath his chin.

“Believe first, then doubt! I trust Zhang Yi has made arrangements.”

Meanwhile, the battle in Tianhai City was being relayed in real time to Tu Yunlie and Gao Changkong.

Tu Yunlie, codenamed Zhurong, showed a shocked expression upon hearing the news.

“Zhang Yi, is this guy really that strong?”

After speaking, he turned silently to look at the leader of the Extreme Path Demons.

This ronin organization from the surrounding islands of Neon was not to be underestimated.

Especially their three leaders—Yamada Henei, Ebinakawase, and Noyarayoda—all possessed upper-level Delta mutant strength.

“I have to speed up!”

At the Reincarnation Squad, Gao Changkong listened to Blizzard City’s intelligence and, surprised, smiled with admiration.

“Unexpectedly strong! Zhang Yi.”

At the Tianhai battlefield, Zhang Yi quietly put away Thunderbolt, then acted as if nothing had happened and called out over the comms, “Everyone, assemble!”

He joined the Celestial Hound Squad members.

Everyone’s faces were filled with joy; they believed the victory was certain and truly admired Zhang Yi like a god descended.

Zhang Yi, however, said coldly, “The real fierce battle is just beginning! I can no longer suppress Phoenix Ren. Get ready!”

After Liang Yue and Baili Changqing arrived on the scene,

Zhang Yi did not hesitate and first opened the dimensional space, releasing Phoenix Ren, whom he had imprisoned for several minutes.

Then he used spatial traversal to instantly leave the battlefield.

His dimensional space was on the verge of collapse, so instead of waiting for Phoenix Ren to completely destroy it, it was better to release him early.

Zhang Yi decided to leave the subsequent battle to others.

He knew clearly that Phoenix Ren’s first target would be him, so he had to run far away.

Phoenix Ren appeared surrounded by the Celestial Hound Squad members.

His body was bare, muscular lines distinct on his sturdy physique.

Yet his eyes were filled with confusion.

The flow of time inside the dimensional space was completely different from reality.

Though externally it seemed he was trapped only a few minutes, his spirit endured decades of torment in that world!

He was in a state where his body could barely move, but his nervous system and thoughts remained normal.

It was an unimaginable torture, the world’s most brutal spiritual prison.

Decades passed unchanged, with only the endless whiteness of dimensional space before his eyes.

After decades, Phoenix Ren had forgotten many things.

However, his will was extraordinary.

The process of adapting to phoenix flames had subjected him to thousands of deaths, forging his will into steel.

“I am Phoenix Ren, leader of Moon of Corrosion.”

“I conquered the central plains of the Huaxu Kingdom, securing fertile ground for the Doomsday faction’s survival.”

Gradually, the confusion in his eyes faded.

“I want to kill a man named Zhang Yi!”

Phoenix Ren’s consciousness returned to the present, which for him was decades ago.

He had forgotten much but not his mission.

“Kill him!”

Baili Changqing roared and charged ahead.

Liang Yue followed closely, wielding her long saber.

Beside Yang Xinxin, a huge Blue Shark floated obediently on the ground, its eyes full of adoration for her.

“Go, Kanute, kill him!”

Yang Xinxin ordered.

“Yes, Xinxin! You are my light of hope, my fire of desire, my original sin, my soul! For you, I would give everything, including my life.”

Kanute said devoutly.
