Ice Age Apocalypse: I Hoard Billions of Supplies Chapter 1613: The Wuluan Empire
Previously on Ice Age Apocalypse: I Hoard Billions of Supplies...
Relying on her quasi-Epsilon-class strength, Liang Yue carved through the ranks of over a hundred Azure Armor warriors as if they were nothing!
With a single sweep of Dragon's Roar, blue Qi Force cascaded outward like curtains of light, swift, fierce, and utterly domineering as it cleaved through the air!
The razor-sharp blade aura easily sliced through both the armor and flesh of the Azure Armor warriors!
Even Strengthening-type Transcendents found it difficult to withstand more than a few of her strikes.
If not for the presence of over a dozen soldiers ranked above 9900 among these warriors, who could barely hold Liang Yue at bay through coordinated efforts, killing them would hardly have been more difficult for her than slaughtering ordinary mortals.
This, right here, was the pinnacle of pure martial combat, the might of a top-tier martial arts grandmaster of the Huaxu Nation!
As she stood now, Liang Yue was virtually unmatched against anyone below the Epsilon-class!
Add to that the advantage of fighting on home turf, and while other Transcendents hadn't taken the field in the frontline, their support from the rear was absolutely relentless!
Uncle Yu operated the large-caliber cannon, blasting away furiously at them from within the fortress.
Meanwhile, support-type Transcendents like Fatty Xu reinforced Huahua and Liang Yue, creating favorable combat conditions for them.With such ideal circumstances on the battlefield, those hundred-plus Captain-level warriors from Mist Valley were, in her eyes, nothing more than slightly tougher whetstones, all of which would be slain before long!
She stood amidst the formation of enemies, Dragon's Roar in hand, surrounded on all sides by the corpses of Azure Armor warriors.
Feeling the power surging endlessly through her body, she sensed she had never before experienced such exhilarating, overwhelming strength.
"Shhk!"
Liang Yue casually slashed out a few strokes, and azure blade lights like a curtain of heaven descended, striking straight at distant enemies.
Wherever the blade light passed, the bodies of several Azure Armor warriors were sliced clean in half, their weapons neatly severed along with them.
At this moment, Liang Yue was essentially a watered-down version of Li Changgong, with the terrifying attack power of a Grandmaster.
Even Zhang Yi, before he had obtained the ability Tracking of All Things, had been somewhat wary of Liang Yue.
He had deliberately suppressed the rate of her supernatural power advancement, because having a martial arts grandmaster this close at hand meant that with a single careless moment, she could draw her blade and instantly cut down anyone!
On Liang Yue's side, she was practically steamrolling, taking on over a hundred Captain-level Transcendents all by herself!
Her speed was too fast, her strength too great, and wherever she passed, a single slash was enough to sever a head! Clean and decisive, with no unnecessary exchanges, just one strike, one kill!
Even these elite Mist Valley warriors, whose physiques were far larger than humans, felt a sense of overwhelming helplessness when facing this human female whose body was so much smaller than theirs.
Elsewhere, the battle between Huahua and the Black-White Commander was even more brutal.
The combat instincts of a feline, the suppleness and agility of her body, made Huahua a formidable killing machine.
On top of that, Lu Keran had crafted her a suit of armor made from memory metal, further boosting her combat prowess.
She engaged in close-quarters melee with the giant beast the Black-White Commander had transformed into. No matter what, the Black-White Commander was just a giant beast born from a sentient being.
When it came to hunting instincts, how could he possibly compare with a feline?
So after they clashed, while the Black-White Commander still held a slight edge in raw power, when it came to reaction speed and sheer ferocity in battle, he was utterly no match for Huahua, this wild beast!
The more wounded Huahua became, the more terrifying her bestial nature grew, and the more fearsome her combat power became.
Even covered in blood, she recklessly lunged at the Black-White Commander with bloodshot eyes, refusing to back down.
This fearless, death-defying style of fighting had already left the Black-White Commander overwhelmed and frantic.
And just then, Zhang Yi's shout made him realize that their Grand General had actually abandoned his subordinates and fled!
This sudden revelation caused the Black-White Commander, still fighting for his life, to suffer a massive psychological breakdown, and his will to fight rapidly drained away.
They weren't unwilling to die in battle.
But being abandoned by their superiors, thrown onto a doomed battlefield as sacrificial pawns, dying a meaningless death, that they were unwilling to accept!
With their fighting spirit gone, their combat effectiveness plummeted as well.
On Zhang Yi's side, however, seeing their commander seize the advantage on the battlefield, their own fighting grew all the more fierce!
The scales of battle tipped rapidly in Tianshui City's favor.
Meanwhile, inside the fortress built of Barrier Stone, Baili Changqing, Wu Di, and the members of the Shadow Troop, who were responsible for support duties, watched the battle with their blood boiling.
They wished they could charge onto the battlefield themselves and cut down the invaders!
Lu Dahai's eyes burned with longing as he licked his parched lips and quietly clenched his fists.
"One day, among those figures charging into battle to slay enemies, there will be one Lu Dahai!"
Gao Tianwu lowered his head, his gaze blazing with intensity. "I want to be like them too, to possess such powerful strength!"
And a shared conviction grew ever more steadfast in their hearts.
"The Supreme One is a god!"
They too would follow Zhang Yi to the death!
After all, whenever trouble arose, Zhang Yi genuinely protected them. And who knew, maybe one day something good would come along and they'd get a chance to share in the spoils.
High above in the sky, Silver Armor had already accepted the reality that he could not swiftly defeat Zhang Yi.
He had to leave this city, wait for the main army to assemble, and then launch another assault.
But how could Zhang Yi possibly give him a chance to escape?
"Whoosh!"
Silver Armor was incredibly fast, having already flown several kilometers away in the blink of an eye.
Yet ahead of him, a bizarre distortion abruptly appeared out of nowhere.
Silver Armor could sense that the air currents were wrong, and his sixth sense made him halt immediately.
The Dimensional Gate opened, and Zhang Yi stepped out from within.
If Silver Armor had continued flying forward at high speed, he would have entered Zhang Yi's Dimensional Gate.
And with Zhang Yi's current level of power, anyone trying to break through the boundary and return to the real world would need to expend a tremendous amount of energy!
Zhang Yi hovered in the void, gazing at Silver Armor before him, the killing intent in his eyes utterly grave.
This silver-armored monster before him bore a striking resemblance to his nightmare, that black-armored monstrosity, the Gatekeeper of the Underworld.
Silver Armor's attack must definitely be connected to the Gatekeeper of the Underworld.
It was entirely possible that soon, the Gatekeeper of the Underworld would also appear in the world, threatening Zhang Yi's life.
But since they were already locked in an irreconcilable conflict, there was no reason to hold back.
Anyone who dared to attack his fortress must die!
Silver Armor's expression was extremely grim. It wasn't that he feared Zhang Yi, but rather, constrained by some sort of limitation, he couldn't remain above ground for too long.
So once he confirmed he couldn't swiftly defeat Zhang Yi, continuing the fight was pointless.
Moreover, this was Zhang Yi's home turf, and Lu Keran's Tianshui City Cannons could pose a certain threat to him as well.
After weighing the pros and cons, he concluded that disengaging was the best option.
But now, since Zhang Yi clearly wouldn't let him leave, he had no choice but to fight!
"Human, you do have some skill! But having offended my Wuluan Empire, death is the only outcome awaiting you!"
This was the first time Zhang Yi learned the name of the mysterious civilization beneath Mist Valley, the Wuluan Empire.
It was likely an ancient nation just as powerful as the Nash Kingdom.
Zhang Yi curled the corner of his mouth. "Me, dead? You don't actually think you're getting away today, do you?"
