Ice Age Apocalypse: I Hoard Billions of Supplies Chapter 1520: Infinite Sword Domain
Previously on Ice Age Apocalypse: I Hoard Billions of Supplies...
The frozen world was a paradise for ice-type Transcendents.
Because everywhere around them, there was a geographical environment where they could easily unleash their abilities.
The surging storm swept outward, instantly disrupting the formation of the Demon-Sealing Court Transcendents.
"Capture the leader first to defeat the enemy!"
Around Liang Yue, blue psionic mist began to swirl. Now, as she neared the Epsilon-class domain, her strength was growing more formidable by the moment.
In an instant, she leaped high into the air, charging straight at Narumi Soji and Maeda Uichiro!
"Leave one opponent for me!"
Deng Shentong refused to be left behind either. Now that he and Liang Yue were the two main combatants in the team, it was only natural for them to take on the two enemy executives.
Almost instinctively, Liang Yue's chosen target was the swordsman wielding the katana—Narumi Soji.
Top-tier martial artists were always drawn to each other; that all-consuming devotion to the way of the blade could be communicated with just a single glance.The moment their eyes met, Narumi Soji first showed a flash of astonishment, then his eyes erupted with ecstatic delight!
"Someone like this actually exists in the world?"
Liang Yue's lips curled slightly upward. Her right hand gripped the Dragon's Roar as she prepared to draw her blade!
Before the blade was even out, Narumi Soji took the lead and retreated backward.
He whispered, "Infinite Blade Domain!"
In the next instant, the surrounding scene changed abruptly!
No longer was it the snow-covered Undying Mountain; instead, it had become a desolate and ruined ancient battlefield.
A colossal red moon hung across the sky, casting chaotic blood-red light across the entire battlefield.
Countless swords and blades were embedded in the ground, some stained with blood, others long broken, and some gleaming brightly, awaiting the return of their wielders.
Liang Yue frowned and looked ahead.
She saw Narumi Soji standing on a hilltop, his katana already drawn and angled diagonally toward the ground.
"Welcome to my domain! Once the Infinite Blade Domain is activated, leaving here requires meeting only one condition."
He pointed his sword at Liang Yue, "One person must die!"
"Isn't this beautiful? No one will interfere with a samurai's honorable duel!"
A cold sneer spread across Liang Yue's face.
"Exactly what I wanted!"
Blue psionic energy flowed out from every limb of her body, forming a layer of mist around her.
But in Narumi Soji's eyes, it was an extremely dangerous thing.
"How interesting, so incredibly interesting! This is my first time dueling a Chinese martial artist!"
The First Squad Captain of the Demon-Sealing Court, Narumi Soji, codename [Ibaraki Doji], was a Strengthening-type ability user.
His ability index was 9900 points.
As soon as he finished speaking, his body shot toward Liang Yue like lightning, his swift form stirring up a fierce gale. The blades within the sword domain rose with the wind, carried along and stabbed at Liang Yue!
Liang Yue's expression remained impassive. She swung her blade and slashed straight ahead!
A storm of swords and blades came crashing down, with Narumi Soji's famous blade, Kikuichimonji Norimune, at the eye of the storm. Surrounding it were countless other swords!
Liang Yue had only one blade, but the speed at which she struck was like a fleeting flash of light and shadow.
"Clang! Clang! Clang!"
Blades clashed violently. With one strike, Liang Yue shattered countless swords.
Yet Narumi Soji's blade was equally fast. For martial artists who became Transcendents, the first thing they always prioritized was their own physical fitness.
This allowed them to draw their swords at the fastest possible speed.
In a sense, they were the most dangerous existences.
Because as long as these guys got close enough, they could instantly kill beings with ability indices far higher than their own!
Thrusts, torso cuts, and diagonal slashes—Narumi Soji's sword momentum was incredibly fast. Once their blades clashed, his assault was unrelenting.
Liang Yue's Dragon's Roar was a Tang-style straight sword, with a thick and heavy blade that gave her an advantage during clashes.
Against Narumi Soji, Liang Yue's offensive wasn't as fast, but her defense remained airtight.
No matter how quickly Narumi Soji struck, she was able to neutralize it in time, and would counter with a slash that made even Narumi Soji's heart race!
The oppressive force of a straight sword was above that of a katana. Speed alone wasn't enough; the key was landing a fatal blow!
In terms of raw power, Narumi Soji was clearly no match for Liang Yue's brute strength.
As blades clashed, every exchange was incredibly perilous. Liang Yue gradually adapted to Narumi Soji's rapid attacks and began to suppress him with counterattacks.
"Clang!"
Narumi Soji twisted his body to dodge Liang Yue's long blade attack, but behind him, the battlefield was split open with a gorge stretching over a kilometer long!
He quickly sheathed his sword, gathered his strength, and bent low.
A single flash!
Kikuichimonji transformed into a dazzling blade of light, shooting straight for Liang Yue's neck!
The speed of this slash was even greater than before!
Liang Yue's sword momentum was already spent, and blocking was no longer possible. She could only lean back, arching her body like a steel bridge to dodge the blow.
"Shrrrk!"
A few strands of hair were severed by the katana. Liang Yue flipped back upright and brought her straight sword down in a heavy overhead slash!
Having already tasted Liang Yue's strength, Narumi Soji dared not take this attack head-on. He spun in midair and dodged as well.
The moment he landed, his left hand pulled a blade from the ground.
Liang Yue gripped her Dragon's Roar, poised and ready.
She had thought Narumi Soji would switch to dual-wielding, but instead, he rushed forward with both swords, plucking up one katana after another along the way. He flicked the tsuba of each sword, sending them flying toward Liang Yue!
In the blink of an eye, countless katanas soared into the air.
Liang Yue swung her blade in a backhanded strike, sending the katana flying toward her crashing away. In the next moment, Narumi Soji charged right up to her with both swords.
"Thousand-Blade Style!"
He growled low, unleashing a thrown sword at close range!
The katana flew straight at her face, and he impossibly caught another blade midair, spinning his body to gain momentum before slashing at Liang Yue's shoulder!
Seeing the countless katanas dancing through the air, Liang Yue finally understood the true function of this guy's sword domain.
The Narumi Soji before her was nothing short of a weapon master!
...
Liang Yue and Narumi Soji, dragged into a different space, were locked in a fierce battle. Yet fights between martial artists were the most dangerous, and also the hardest to resolve quickly.
Because Strengthening-types were simply the most resilient existences in terms of vitality.
Deng Shentong had no time to worry about that. Still, he believed that the strongest Transcendent by Zhang Yi's side wouldn't fall so easily.
Right now, he had already charged right up to Maeda Uichiro.
Without any unnecessary words, Deng Shentong opened with a killing move!
One after another, sword runes were inscribed in the void. In the next instant, multiple transparent mirrors completely surrounded Maeda Uichiro.
He thrust out a sword, and Maeda Uichiro instinctively dodged.
But suddenly, a sharp stabbing pain shot through his back!
He turned back in shock, only to see a hole punctured in his lower back, with blood flowing out in a steady stream!
Deng Shentong's ability, [Heavenly Etching]!
"Where did that attack come from? I didn't even sense it at all."
A flicker of shock crossed Maeda Uichiro's face.
But soon, a cold, cruel smile curled at the corners of his lips.
"Excellent, now this is getting interesting! You have earned the right to see my other form!"
