Ice Age Apocalypse: I Hoard Billions of Supplies Chapter 1617: A Desperate Battlefield

At this moment, the Silver Armor leader was already forced to exert every ounce of his strength just to block Zhang Yi's strike.

No sooner had he deflected that attack than Huahua's assault came crashing down upon him once again.

He fiercely clenched his right fist and slammed it toward his left side, like a sponge that had already been wrung dry of every last drop of moisture, forcibly squeezing strength from the very marrow of his bones to hold the line!

Although Huahua's attack packed tremendous force, after all, there remained a gap of over ten thousand points in ability index between her and the Silver Armor leader.

And so, this strike was still intercepted by the Silver Armor leader!

But at that moment, the distant Tianshui City Cannons fired another shot!

This time, it struck the Silver Armor leader's body directly, sending him hurtling backward over ten thousand meters!

"Crack!"

His bones shattered, his flesh split open, and blood streamed down along the contours of his muscles.

But by now, having endured blow after blow, he was nearly spent.

Just as his body was about to plunge into the sea, Zhang Yi opened a Dimensional Gate and delivered Liang Yue directly beneath him.

Liang Yue's right hand tightened around the hilt of Dragon's Roar. The distance between her and the Silver Armor leader was less than five hundred meters.

This was now within the range of her [Ten'yuan] domain.

Centered on herself, it formed a relatively small absolute domain—anything that appeared within it would be severed in an instant!

"Clang!"

The long blade in Liang Yue's hand was drawn from its sheath. She slashed upward toward the sky. The black sword light was sharp and slender, forming a pitch-black curtain of darkness that ran from the Silver Armor leader's skull all the way down to his crotch—clean and precise, like a dividing line carved by a surgeon's scalpel.

"Pfft!"

The Silver Armor leader's body was sliced cleanly in half from the middle, and a torrent of blood burst forth.

The combined strike of Zhang Yi's group of four gave him not a single moment to react, all the way until his death.

Zhang Yi shot across the sky and directly stored the Silver Armor leader's corpse into his dimensional space. Naturally, he also collected his Essence along with it.

This battle had finally come to an end.

Peace was restored between heaven and earth. Only then did Zhang Yi open his mouth and gasp for breath, heaving heavily.

The rapid secretion of adrenaline had just plunged him into a state of fierce yet calm battle focus.

But now that the fighting was over, he felt an overwhelming exhaustion deep within his heart.

This battle had been extremely perilous. If not for the fact that months ago he had sensed the coming crisis and made preparations in advance, even if he could have won, it would have been a pyrrhic victory at best!

However, Yang Xinxin was still hiding in his shadow, and he still had killing moves left unused.

"Stay on high alert! The enemy still has forces in other major regions, and they may launch an attack on Tianshui City afterward."

Zhang Yi rubbed the bridge of his nose.

"I need to rest for a bit! You all should rest too—we might be going back into battle at any moment. Don't actually fall asleep."

"Also, notify Deng Shentong to bring the Divine Punishment Squad over for support!"

The members of the Divine Punishment Squad might not be powerful enough to make a difference in combat, but they could still help with patrols and monitoring the situation around Tianshui City.

...

Not everyone was like Zhang Yi, who had managed to repel the Mist Valley Transcendent forces' assault at what appeared to be great peril but actually cost him very little.

After all, only Zhang Yi knew that the Mist Valley would come seeking reckoning with him sooner or later.

As for the other major regions, they had never imagined they would suffer an assault of such scale.

East China Sea Major Region.

Having deployed space-based weapons in conjunction with Heaven-tier weaponry, and with the two Epsilon-class powerhouses Xuanwu and Qinglong joining forces, they finally managed to barely hold back the Mist Valley forces' offensive, preventing East Sea City from being directly steamrolled by the Mist Valley combat units.

And on the frontlines, over a hundred Captain-level Azure Armor warriors also met their match.

Like Liang Yue—or rather, like the Liang Yue of before—she was the quasi-Epsilon-class Transcendent known as the [Ice Prison Vermillion Bird], Jiang Han.

She arrived at the frontlines. The moment she descended, the temperature of the entire heaven and earth dropped by dozens of degrees.

The Mist Valley Transcendents raised their heads only to see a massive ice-blue phoenix descending from the sky, its enormous azure wings both magnificent and dangerous.

Zhuque landed upon this place, plummeting abruptly from the air to the ground. Her hands thrust forward, and ice-blue flames erupted violently from her palms toward the earth!

"Whoosh—"

The raging flames blazed fiercely, surging toward every Mist Valley warrior in all directions!

Those soldiers scrambled to dodge and defend themselves upon seeing this.

But any means of defense, the moment it came into contact with this ice-blue flame, would rapidly have all its power devoured clean away.

The next instant, the flames invaded their bodies and began absorbing every trace of warmth from within them.

Only then did the Mist Valley warriors realize just how terrifying this arrival truly was.

"One of the top powerhouses on the human side? How amusing!"

A Soldier Commander said in a deep voice.

With a wave of his hand, a dozen or so elite warriors slowly advanced to encircle her from the front.

...

The Silver Armor leader stood high in the sky. Before him stretched the roaring, surging sea, along with the colossal Xuanwu.

"A sea beast, is it? Interesting. To have actually modified your own body into a large-scale weapon—that truly is a stroke of genius."

Beneath the Silver Armor leader's feet, countless sea beast corpses bobbed up and down in the ocean. Around his body flowed a massive river of blood, winding like a ribbon as it slowly circled him.

Xuanwu remained silent, quietly sinking his body into the seawater. From a distance, he looked like an island.

His eyes fixed on the Silver Armor leader, and he said in a deep voice, "Invader, leave this place! You cannot take East Sea City!"

The Silver Armor leader crossed his arms over his chest, looking down at Xuanwu from on high.

"Your power is indeed somewhat beyond my expectations. But compared to my Wuluan Empire, you are nothing more than a lowly, primitive civilization!"

As he spoke, he extended his right index finger and pointed at Xuanwu.

"To annihilate you would be all too easy!"

The moment those words fell, the river of blood suddenly churned violently. Tens of thousands of arrows erupted from the blood river, shooting toward Xuanwu's massive body at incredible speed!

"Swish!" "Swish!" "Swish!"

...

Crimson arrows filled every inch of space around them. Xuanwu's colossal frame made it nearly impossible to dodge such rapid, concentrated attacks. Yet he remained as still as a mountain, quietly floating in the seawater, allowing those blood arrows to strike his shell.

The blood arrows pierced into his carapace, quickly turning him into a red porcupine.

No matter how sharp those blood arrows were, none could fully penetrate his defenses.

"Interesting. So even the inside of your shell has been reinforced with metal to form a fortress, has it?"

The Silver Armor leader saw through the truth at a glance, but he let out a cold laugh. He extended his right hand forward and clenched his fist in the empty air!

In an instant, all the blood arrows exploded into fragments!

A terrifying force trembled through the void. The next moment, Xuanwu felt the blood within his body churning violently, as if it had been brought to a boil, threatening to burst forth from every pore!
