Ice Age Apocalypse: I Hoard Billions of Supplies

Deng Shentong’s face immediately turned somewhat pale.

”What... the hell are these things?”

Liang Yue furrowed her brow, quickly piecing things together.

”Since we can’t leave for now, I’ll go kill them all!”

Without another word, she gripped her blade and charged to the left.

Deng Shentong shouted, ”Hey, that ninja is tough to deal with, you need to be careful!”

A trace of contempt curled at the corner of Liang Yue’s mouth.

”I may not have trained in the Five Elements Escape Techniques, but that doesn’t mean I don’t understand them.”

So-called ninjutsu was nothing more than a shoddy adaptation of the Chinese Five Elements Escape Techniques. It could fool outsiders, sure, but when facing a true expert in the Five Elements techniques, it was laughably crude.

For example, ninjutsu had a stealth technique.

After completing a mission, a ninja would flee into a forest and suddenly vanish, as if they had disappeared into thin air.

In reality, they had simply dug a hole in the forest beforehand and covered it with a grass lid.

Once they escaped to that spot, they would jump into the hole. If the operation happened at night, it would naturally be impossible to spot.

In short, most of it was just smoke and mirrors.

If the martial world still existed in modern times, Liang Yue would be the undisputed martial arts leader, a veteran of the highest order.

How could she be fooled by a ninja like Purgatory Star?

Her invisibility might distort light, but to a top-tier Strengthening-type martial artist, her footsteps and breathing were blindingly obvious.

Deng Shentong glanced back at Tenshu Palace behind him. There were still plenty of treasures inside.

However, most of them were just cultural relics. After thinking it over, he decided to join Liang Yue in slaughtering the Transcendents of Demon-Sealing Court!

”If you don’t pull out the roots, the weeds will grow back when spring comes! Last time, you bastards caused chaos in Jiangnan Region, killing tens of thousands of innocent people! This time, it’s our turn for revenge!”

Deng Shentong drew his sword, Griffith, and chose the opposite path from Liang Yue, cutting his way down!

...

At the foot of Undying Mountain.

The battlefield had become utterly twisted. For the first time in his life, Zhang Yi had encountered such a deranged Transcendent.

No wonder he was from Neon—so twisted it was suffocating.

If his mind wasn’t strong enough, who could face a sea of maggots and keep their sanity intact?

And on top of that, within that sea of maggots, a hideous, nauseating monster was slowly rising into the air and charging at him.

At this point, Zhang Yi had no better options.

He had used too much of his thermal weapons to mount a full-scale assault.

But at the same time, the enemy couldn’t break through his defenses either.

So he chose the simplest, most brutal method—physical combat!

Zhang Yi’s close-combat skills weren’t particularly strong, but now, with the Hidden Dragon Armor and the Sword in the Tree backing him up, he could even spar with an Epsilon-class at the White Chariot level in melee.

Time Acceleration and Time Swamp vastly boosted his speed, the Hidden Dragon Armor amplified his strength and speed, and the Sword in the Tree was incredibly sharp and could change form at will.

Dealing with these maggots wasn’t that troublesome.

Zhang Yi plunged straight into the sea of maggots, turning the Sword in the Tree into a forty-meter-long blade. The gears of the Hidden Dragon Armor spun, power maxed out!

”Pfft!”

He slashed down at the sea of maggots, and the creatures were instantly cut apart, spraying fluids everywhere!

White ichor splattered all around, even falling into Zhang Yi’s dimensional space, where it began to corrode severely.

Fortunately, Zhang Yi had his helmet sealing off the outside air. Otherwise, just imagining the stench from the rotting maggot corpses would make anyone vomit.

”Pfft!”

...

Zhang Yi, with his sword, rampaged through the sea of maggots.

You have to understand, at this moment, Zhang Yi’s greatest enemy wasn’t the sea of maggots, not the Ultimate Evil Boy, but himself.

Imagine falling into a cesspool—would you drown first, or die from disgust first?

Especially when his massive blade swept through the maggots, sending foul, stinking white fluids flying everywhere. The picture was too vivid to bear.

”Kill!”

Zhang Yi had to suppress any stray thoughts with overwhelming bloodlust. Otherwise, even a slight imagination would shatter his will.

In the vast sea of maggots, each slash from Zhang Yi killed dozens of giant maggots!

Yet, more maggots kept flooding in from the periphery. This place had truly become an ocean of maggots, and the area he occupied was a black hole within it.

The Ultimate Evil Boy soared through the air, spotting Zhang Yi fighting with his sword. He let out a sinister laugh and dove down!

His elongated mouthpart was like a steel pipe, stabbing straight at Zhang Yi’s head!

Zhang Yi whipped his sword back at the air, but the Ultimate Evil Boy caught it with his sharp claws!

”Huh?”

Zhang Yi’s brow furrowed deeply.

In close combat, it was still too difficult for him to go toe-to-toe with the Ultimate Evil Boy.

The Ultimate Evil Boy cackled, gripping the Sword in the Tree and suddenly yanking. He flung Zhang Yi into the air, then hurled him violently toward the distant sea of maggots!

At the critical moment, Zhang Yi severed the connection with the Sword in the Tree and leaped back.

”Manifold Phenomena!”

Countless Dimensional Gates materialized in front of him, and a flood of maggots writhed up into the sky, disappearing into his dimensional space.

Zhang Yi felt a pounding in his head.

If all these maggots—raised by the five hundred thousand people of Edo City—poured into his dimensional space, they would absolutely destroy it completely!

When that happened, his combat power would plummet, and he would never escape this place alive!

”If only I had more people!”

Zhang Yi’s brow was tightly knit as the Sword in the Tree swelled with a roar, extending countless vines to block the advancing maggots.

A green sphere appeared in midair—Zhang Yi, encased by the Sword in the Tree.

But the next moment, the Ultimate Evil Boy crashed directly into the wooden sphere.

He cackled with a grating, ”Hehehe,” his voice like a cheap toy.

Then, using his sharp, massive limbs, he violently tore through the thick vines, sticking his head inside and staring straight at Zhang Yi.

”Got you!”

The moment his words fell, sharp spikes shot straight at the Dimensional Gates!

A surge of immense energy tore through dozens of Dimensional Gates in an instant, shattering them into pieces!

Zhang Yi’s pupils contracted sharply.

If there was anyone left who could pose such a threat to him, it was probably only those terrifying entities in the underground world.

But how was the Ultimate Evil Boy pulling this off?

Soon, he figured it all out.

As the maggots flooded into his dimensional space, they absorbed his energy and fed it back to the Ultimate Evil Boy.

In other words, the longer their battle dragged on, the worse it was for him.

”Brother, can you find a way to trap him?”

Seeing Zhang Yi in a bad spot, Yang Xinxin’s voice came through.

Zhang Yi understood. She planned to use the Desire Angel to control the Ultimate Evil Boy and make him take his own life.

Yang Xinxin’s ability was indeed formidable, but this rule-based power had a very strict prerequisite: her slow-moving arrow had to hit its target.

Right now, though, Zhang Yi couldn’t think of any way to trap the Ultimate Evil Boy.

He couldn’t even risk using Void Force to attack the Ultimate Evil Boy and the sea of maggots.
