Ice Age Apocalypse: I Hoard Billions of Supplies

On another battlefield, Deng Shentong encountered the second squad captain of the Demon-Sealing Court, the ”Ox-Demon” Maeda Uichiro.

His gigantic body was like a small mountain, brimming with oppressive power!

He looked down at Deng Shentong, his massive fist slamming straight down at him with deadly force!

”Boom!!”

The fist smashed a huge crater into the ground, but Maeda Uichiro didn’t feel the sensation of hitting flesh.

The next moment, a voice rang out from his side and rear.

”What are you hitting?”

Maeda Uichiro’s pupils sharply contracted as he twisted his head to look behind him.

What he had just struck was not Deng Shentong’s real body—only an illusion created from light.

Deng Shentong’s sword was already drawn, a bright white radiance enveloping his entire form, making him shine like a deity.

The surrounding space dissolved into pure white, and Maeda Uichiro could no longer see anything.

But a searing pain on his back enveloped his entire being!

Deng Shentong’s sword light had nearly pierced straight through his body!

Yet just as the blade tip touched bone, it was suddenly clamped tight by muscle!

Unable to see, Maeda Uichiro swung a backhanded fist viciously at Deng Shentong behind him! That thick, dark-crimson arm was like a massive pillar—if it landed squarely, Deng Shentong’s slender frame would surely be crushed.

Deng Shentong was unflappable. He pressed a switch on the sword’s hilt.

A stream of venom surged out from the blood groove of the blade, flowing into Maeda Uichiro’s body.

Then he pulled his sword free with effort, braced his foot against Maeda Uichiro’s body, and leaped back forcefully.

Maeda Uichiro could see nothing. He could only rage madly, stomping the ground with all eight legs and swinging his fists by instinct.

Deng Shentong wasn’t in a hurry. He calmly waited for the toxin to take effect.

With such a colossal body, it took longer for the venom to travel through the bloodstream and reach the heart.

Soon, Maeda Uichiro felt dizzy and nauseous, a violent wave of sickness washing over him.

”Boom!”

His massive body nearly toppled over, making him realize that Deng Shentong’s sword was poisoned.

But that didn’t faze him at all. His large hand reached back, grabbed the wounded flesh, and tore it clean off!

His powerful physique and regenerative abilities gave him excellent resistance to such venom attacks.

Deng Shentong remained utterly calm. Now, after years of experience, he was a seasoned combat expert.

He had the patience to slowly kill his opponent.

Against a huge creature like this that couldn’t counter his ability, it would fall into a disadvantage from the very start of the fight.

”Great Sumeru Illusion!”

A piercing white light shone in every direction, enveloping the mountain peak and forming a massive white sphere.

Maeda Uichiro could suddenly see again.

He saw the night fade away as Undying Mountain returned to broad daylight.

And it was spring—the mountain’s cherry blossoms were in full bloom, pink petals drifting gently in the wind.

On the sacred path of Undying Mountain, women in kimonos led children, carrying lunch boxes to enjoy the cherry blossoms.

Those familiar faces were none other than Maeda Uichiro’s long-deceased family.

”Illusion?”

Maeda Uichiro immediately realized he was caught in an illusion.

But everything he saw, and even the sensations on his skin, felt utterly real.

Even the temperature was no longer cold, but warm and pleasant like a spring day.

”It can affect all five of my senses?” Maeda Uichiro muttered to himself.

”Then, all I have to do is close my eyes!”

The condition for falling under the illusion was seeing the light released by Deng Shentong. So, to counter his ability, one just had to not see it, and everything could be neutralized.

Deng Shentong didn’t care.

Unless someone was born blind, anyone unable to see—no matter how strong—would be severely hindered.

Especially this massive war machine of an Ox-Demon!

”Now, aren’t you just a toy in my hands?”

Deng Shentong waved his hand casually, tossing out over a dozen blue crystal bombs, scattering them around Maeda Uichiro.

When the blue crystal bombs detonated, they released astonishing energy, carrying potent venom that clung to Maeda Uichiro’s body.

Boom, boom, boom!!

The earth quaked, sending dirt flying. Even the Ox-Demon’s formidable frame was violently shaken, nearly causing him to tip over.

But this attack also let Maeda Uichiro sense Deng Shentong’s position.

He spun around and slammed a fist down toward Deng Shentong’s location!

Deng Shentong leaped high into the air. Maeda Uichiro’s thick arm swept through the forest, leveling countless trees like trash.

”Pretty sharp instincts!”

Deng Shentong’s jetpack activated. Hovering mid-air, he drew a pistol with his left hand and opened fire at Maeda Uichiro.

The weapons he used—aside from the bullet material not being as good as Yi Metal—were not far off in power.

”Bang!” ”Bang!” ”Bang!” ”Bang!”

The large-caliber pistol fired dozens of bullets in rapid succession. This gun, capable of holding 40 rounds at once, was essentially a compact single-handed submachine gun.

The Origin Bullets pierced Maeda Uichiro’s flesh, spraying a torrent of blood.

Even his tempered body couldn’t withstand the Deng Corporation’s newest weaponry.

But compared to Maeda Uichiro’s enormous frame, these wounds were nothing more than pinpricks.

The Ox-Demon grew even more enraged. Blindness had stripped him of his sense of security, making him more desperate to kill his enemy.

He punched toward the sky, and Deng Shentong dodged nimbly.

But soon, the Ox-Demon grabbed a massive rock from the ground and hurled it at Deng Shentong with all his might!

The boulder, the size of a truck, shot through the air like a high-speed cannonball. Deng Shentong barely avoided it—it grazed his body as it flew past.

Deng Shentong furrowed his brow.

”His senses are that sharp? Even the slightest movement doesn’t escape his perception.”

The Ox-Demon seemed to have found a counter. He plunged his hands into Undying Mountain’s slope, tearing out massive chunks of earth and stone. Soon, boulders rained down on Deng Shentong like a meteor shower!

This crude, straightforward attack was the hardest for Deng Shentong to handle. He didn’t have Zhang Yi’s defensive measures against physical strikes.

”Whoosh!”

...

Boulders kept hurtling toward him in the air, making Deng Shentong struggle to keep up.

He had to draw his sword, gathering his white supernatural power into a dazzling light along the blade, then thrust forward, shattering a boulder head-on!

But right after, even more rocks flew at his body.
