Ice Age Apocalypse: I Hoard Billions of Supplies Chapter 1614: Silver Armor's Fear
Previously on Ice Age Apocalypse: I Hoard Billions of Supplies...
Silver Armor slowly raised both arms, thunder rumbling from within his body as white electric currents surged down his arms, instantly transforming into two silver thunder serpents stretching hundreds of meters long!
【Thunder Whip】!
Silver Armor swung his right arm, the thick thunder whip crackling as it lashed viciously toward Zhang Yi!
Lightning moved at incredible speed, and the thunder whip brimming with immense power could easily incinerate carbon-based lifeforms into charred crisps.
However, Zhang Yi wasn't falling for that trick!
A Dimensional Gate stood blocking in front of him, and when the thunder whip struck the Dimensional Gate, it vanished like a mud cow entering the sea—no reaction whatsoever.
Physical attacks, as well as any attack power that couldn't exceed the threshold, could hardly harm Zhang Yi in the slightest.
Zhang Yi raised his right hand, and the silver bracelet 【Babu】 on his wrist instantly transformed into a massive Sword in the Tree, appearing in the palm of his hand.
"Go, Sword in the Tree! Dehydrate!"
"Bang!" With a loud crack, the Sword in the Tree rapidly extended outward, transforming from a single sword into sky-covering trees and vines—except this time, the trees were no longer deep green, but gray and withered yellow.Zhang Yi controlled the Sword in the Tree to shed its moisture after growing, turning the branches into dried-out wooden stakes that wove together into a massive cage mid-air, surrounding Silver Armor!
Dry wood could insulate against electrical attacks—Zhang Yi understood basic physics well enough.
Seeing the enormous wooden cage sweeping toward him like an unfurled net, Silver Armor immediately swung his thunder whip, viciously lashing at those branches!
"Crack!" "Crack!" "Crack!"
Thick vines were shattered into pieces by the thunder whip, tumbling into the sea below.
But the Sword in the Tree in Zhang Yi's hands continued growing and spreading at an even faster rate, then dehydrating.
Silver Armor slowly began to realize that although he kept destroying the encroaching trees, the cage before him only grew larger, nearly enveloping every direction around him.
He immediately sensed something was wrong, understanding that Zhang Yi's Sword in the Tree could grow endlessly—destroying it was utterly meaningless.
He made a split-second decision to change direction, attempting to escape through another route.
But Zhang Yi's 【Tracking of All Things】 was no pushover either. It directly locked onto his escape direction, allowing Zhang Yi to 【Spatial Shift】 ahead of time and weave another net with the Sword in the Tree!
Silver Armor's heart sank. He had already figured out Zhang Yi's plan.
It was to use the insulating properties of dried wood against lightning, grinding him down in a war of attrition.
There was no way he could outrun Zhang Yi's Spatial Shifting, and his attacks couldn't penetrate the defenses of Manifold Phenomena.
Of course, Zhang Yi's attacks couldn't inflict fatal wounds on him either.
But the longer time dragged on, the greater his disadvantage became.
Unfortunately, Zhang Yi gave him no time to think, because the Sword in the Tree cage was already taking shape, closing in around him!
Silver Armor gritted his teeth, suddenly erupting with powerful lightning as he charged directly at a weak spot in the Sword in the Tree cage!
His body transformed into a bolt of lightning—"Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!"—smashing through thousands of meters of vine cage.
But after escaping the cage, he found Zhang Yi waiting above him, wearing a faint, enigmatic smile.
"I told you before, Tianshui City isn't a place you can come and go as you please!"
A black pearl of condensed energy gathered at Zhang Yi's fingertip, aimed directly at Silver Armor's forehead and unleashed!
Star-Piercing Cannon!
Silver Armor's heart clenched. He erupted with overwhelming supernatural power, electric light surging outward from his body, forming a massive spherical barrier ten meters in diameter around him!
In that instant, the Star-Piercing Cannon tore through space itself, slamming viciously into the lightning barrier!
"BOOM!!!"
The Sword in the Tree cage mid-air was violently shaken by the immense force, shattering more than half of it as wooden debris rained down into the ocean.
The clash of their powers was so evenly matched that neither could gain the upper hand for the moment.
After all, 27,000 ability index points were nothing to scoff at—purely in terms of attack power, Zhang Yi held no advantage.
But as long as he could stall the enemy, that was enough!
Because Zhang Yi wasn't fighting alone!
After breaking through the Sword in the Tree cage repeatedly and clashing head-on with Zhang Yi, Silver Armor's blood churned within him, and his supernatural power showed signs of depletion.
Following Zhang Yi's command, Lu Keran fired a Tianshui City Cannon from within the Tianshui fortress!
Zhang Yi continued to drive the Sword in the Tree, more vines spreading outward around Silver Armor.
Even if Silver Armor could block or dodge the Tianshui City Cannon's strike, his defenses would inevitably show a gap, giving Zhang Yi an opening!
So, whether to be trapped by the Sword in the Tree, or struck from behind by the Tianshui City Cannon—Silver Armor had to make his choice right now!
He didn't have much time. After a brief weighing of pros and cons, Silver Armor decided to dodge the Tianshui City Cannon's strike.
After all, he had already experienced what it felt like to be hit by that thing, and it wasn't pleasant.
Electric light coursed over Silver Armor's body. In an instant, he erupted with astonishing power, his form turning into a bolt of lightning to evade the Tianshui City Cannon's terrifying bombardment!
His body dove downward, that horrifying beam of light passing through the space above him, sending chills down his spine.
But the next moment, from below, a mass of vines coiled around him like serpents.
At the very moment his power was at its most depleted, they latched onto his arms!
Silver Armor gritted his teeth, abruptly exerting force as electric light flashed, snapping the vines apart!
But suddenly, his waist tightened—an even thicker, longer vine had wrapped tightly around his torso, then abruptly constricted with crushing force!
The pressure was so immense that it nearly crushed his broken armor into his flesh!
A creeping sense of unease gradually rose in Silver Armor's heart.
It took him less than a second to snap the vines off his body again, but when he looked up, his pupils violently contracted in shock.
Surrounding him in every direction—no dead angles whatsoever—the Sword in the Tree had formed a colossal cage!
Zhang Yi stood just a few hundred meters away, staring at him coldly as tens of thousands of vines, like venomous serpents, aimed their tips directly at him.
Could it be... I'm going to die? Die here?
For the first time, this thought crossed Silver Armor's mind.
It was utterly absurd. He was the Grand General of the Wuluan Empire, with incomparably formidable strength!
All humans were nothing but weak little vermin in his eyes.
Meanwhile, on other battlefields, reports of victory were pouring in—they had already exacted punishment upon the humans who dared offend the Wuluan Empire.
So why, here, had he fallen to such a miserable state?
He had no time to ponder, because at that moment, the countless vines had locked onto him and came stabbing toward him at tremendous speed!
Terrifying electric light surged across Silver Armor's body, shattering vine after vine!
Even though dried wood had excellent insulating properties against electric current, overwhelming energy could still punch through their defenses and pulverize them.
But that meant his power consumption would be significantly higher.
