Ice Age Apocalypse: I Hoard Billions of Supplies Chapter 1409: Liu Ruyan Said

Zhang Yi was engaged in a fierce battle with the Lord of the Charnel Ground.

Zhang Yi knew this battle would come sooner or later, but he hadn't expected the Lord of the Charnel Ground to initiate it first.

Everything seemed accidental, but in reality, it was inevitable.

Zhang Yi had already realized that all of this was deliberately arranged by that Guardian.

First, they were scattered to different directions of the Holy Spirit Hall, then lured into fighting each other through the aura of the Divine Source.

But even knowing all this, things wouldn't bend to his will.

However, the current situation was still within Zhang Yi's control.

The Lord of the Charnel Ground's power was indeed formidable. The [Six Senses Dharma Gate] could enhance his body in every aspect, bringing his sight, hearing, smell, taste, touch, and mind to a state of perfection with almost no flaws to exploit.

Zhang Yi had used his advance preparations to break his Buddha Heart, but he still had to face that incredibly powerful physique.

He fired while retreating, trying his best to create distance from the Lord of the Charnel Ground.

Because if he got closed in, he couldn't guarantee that the Dimensional Gate could block the Lord of the Charnel Ground.

"Boom!"

The Lord of the Charnel Ground punched again, colliding with the Nuclear Bullet. The tremendous force directly collapsed all the display stands in the room, scattering the precious exhibits, including the Divine Source, across the floor.

Zhang Yi wrapped himself with Manifold Phenomena, used All Things Follow Traces to lock onto every move of the Lord of the Charnel Ground, and then began precise shooting.

This was the first time Zhang Yi had faced this level of opponent, and this battle was indeed extremely difficult.

Even without the Sangha Monastery's enhancement, the Lord of the Charnel Ground was not someone Zhang Yi could easily defeat at this point.

"As expected of the Lord of the Charnel Ground. If I hadn't prepared multiple backup plans for you, I might still lose to you even now."

Zhang Yi said as he unbuttoned the collar of his armor.

A round head popped out with a "boop."

Hua Hua had been on Zhang Yi the whole time. Zhang Yi gave it a look and smiled, "You can destroy without any restraint now!"

A flash of excited light gleamed in Hua Hua's eyes.

It lifted its head and let out a roar toward the sky.

"ROAR!!"

Like the roar of the king of beasts, it caused the entire palace to tremble.

Hua Hua's body grew with the wind, rapidly expanding into a beast over a dozen meters long!

Its entire body was pitch black, every strand of hair as hard and sharp as steel needles. Two massive wings grew from its waist and abdomen, also resembling two long swords.

On its pitch-black forehead, horizontal white stripes formed the shape of a cloud, very much like the character for "king."

With one furious roar, its formidable power erupted outward!

The Lord of the Charnel Ground's pupils sharply contracted.

On this massive beast, he could feel Epsilon-level power!

Zhang Yi stroked Hua Hua's head and said casually, "After so much training, and feeding you a large amount of Ground Centipede origin, you've finally managed to break through to the Epsilon level!"

That's right, Hua Hua was now an Epsilon-level mutated beast!

Back when they were under the Qinling Mountains, it was only one step away from this realm.

During the half-year at home, Zhang Yi had continuously fed and trained it, finally allowing it to achieve a breakthrough.

"Let me reintroduce you. This is my battle beast, Hua Hua, codename [Qiongqi], superhuman ability index 13,000 points!"

Zhang Yi looked at the Lord of the Charnel Ground and said with a smile.

As a feline, Hua Hua was a natural-born hunter, possessing formidable combat power from the start.

So after breaking through to the Epsilon level, its overall attributes directly reached 13,000 points, no less than Zhang Yi's when he first broke through.

A powerful physique, agile reflexes, and top-tier hunting instincts were its proudest assets.

"Now, it's the two of us against you!"

Zhang Yi said leisurely to the Lord of the Charnel Ground.

One-on-one, even Zhang Yi would find it somewhat tricky to defeat the Lord of the Charnel Ground as he was now.

But two-on-one was a completely different story.

A battle that was originally fairly evenly matched, with the addition of a 13,000-point Hua Hua, instantly caused the scales to tip entirely in Zhang Yi's favor.

"Go!"

The moment Zhang Yi finished speaking, he and Hua Hua split up in perfect tacit understanding, attacking the Lord of the Charnel Ground from left and right.

This feeling brought Zhang Yi back to when he first met Hua Hua, when one man and one cat had also faced the people of West Mountain Base like this.

Hua Hua flew through the air, its claws viciously swiping at the Lord of the Charnel Ground's left side.

Zhang Yi was on the right, his two White Owls firing Nuclear Bullets to attack.

The coordination between man and cat was perfect. Instead of symmetric strikes that might cause friendly fire, they maintained a 30-degree angle of attack.

For a moment, the Lord of the Charnel Ground was suppressed on both sides, unable to focus fully on dealing with either one alone.

He blocked Hua Hua's attack with his left hand and deflected Zhang Yi's assault with his right fist, instantly feeling the strain.

"Whoosh!"

He quickly dodged into the distance, then pressed his back against the wall so he wouldn't be caught in a pincer attack.

Unexpectedly, this guy was quite smart, figuring out a good way to face both attackers simultaneously so quickly.

Zhang Yi and Hua Hua grinned.

Hua Hua opened its massive maw and directly sprayed a high-energy particle beam at the Lord of the Charnel Ground!

And Zhang Yi combined his dual pistols, activating the Spear of Annihilation ability.

The room had limited space. After the Lord of the Charnel Ground retreated to the corner position, it became even harder for him to evade their long-range attacks.

His expression changed as he clasped his hands together. The power of the Indestructible Golden Body formed a massive halo around him, as if warding off all attacks.

"BOOM!!!"

Zhang Yi and Hua Hua's combined strike slammed heavily into the golden halo.

The entire palace seemed to shake violently. The halo bore the immense pressure, gradually being ground down inch by inch.

The Lord of the Charnel Ground steadied himself, trying to think of a strategy to deal with both opponents.

Just then, Zhang Yi's sly voice sounded in his ear again.

"Lord of the Charnel Ground, your woman is really wet."

With one sentence, the Lord of the Charnel Ground's inner demon seized the upper hand again!

"DAMN IT!!!"

He roared, his mental balance shattered, and his defenses cracked.

"Boom!"

His protective halo was broken, and a large gush of blood sprayed from his mouth.

Zhang Yi and Hua Hua didn't pause for a moment, already charging to close range.

Their combined man-cat assault was seamless. They had known each other for two years, regularly practicing coordination tactics.

Now they attacked the Lord of the Charnel Ground from left and right.

The Lord of the Charnel Ground took a deep breath and began to counterattack against the two.

His strength was indeed remarkable, especially in physical refinement. Years of kowtowing practice on the Great Snow Mountain had made his physique even more terrifying than that of reinforcement-type superhumans!

But how do you defend against mental attacks?

With a helper now, Zhang Yi's mouth never stopped running, various words spilling out and infuriating the Lord of the Charnel Ground to the point of jumping in rage.

"Liu Ruyan said you were short and weak, making her very uncomfortable."

"The pleasure on her face was all fake. She never experienced a woman's joy with you."

"Liu Ruyan said..."
