Ice Age Apocalypse: I Hoard Billions of Supplies Chapter 1625: Avoiding the Blade's Edge

Truly top-tier Transcendents were never easy opponents. All of them had survived the apocalypse's brutal selection and lived to this day.

Any oversight, no matter how small, could become the fuse that led to his death.

That was why Li Changgong had found a way to compensate for his own weakness.

The Sirius armor was forged precisely on this principle, utilizing high-energy particle pulse technology to counter those wide-area energy attacks.

Whether it was plasma-state flames, storms or tidal waves triggered by supernatural powers, or even the smoke clouds and toxic miasma similar to Silver Armor's,

the armor could forcibly disperse these attacks by releasing high-energy particle pulses.

Silver Armor had never expected Li Changgong to have such a trick up his sleeve. His body, hidden within the smoke, began to grow unstable, showing signs of collapse!

"What?"

He stared at his own palm in shock as the smoke scattered.

Transforming into smoke was not without its limits, after all. When one reduced their body to particles, their defensive capabilities could not remain as formidable.

This was also why he had been severely injured when Li Changgong detonated the Command Center.

Becoming smoke particles was not invincible either. It merely meant the body scattered into countless fragments, making him difficult to kill.

Around Li Changgong, the smoke dissipated. Hovering in mid-air with the Sirius armor's flight system, he stood in distant confrontation with Silver Armor, who had now revealed his physical form.

"Heh, now, your ability is useless, isn't it?"

Li Changgong raised the long blade in his hand and pointed it at Silver Armor.

Silver Armor calmly gazed at Li Changgong, then let out a soft laugh of his own, speaking to him in Chinese: "Interesting. You truly are a fascinating human being."

As he said this, a hint of wistfulness flickered in his eyes.

"Being too clever is not always a good thing."

"This might very well become the beginning of your downfall."

Li Changgong furrowed his brow: "What nonsense are you spouting? I don't understand a word of it! But right now, it's my turn to chop you up!"

"Shing-"

Boundless Across the Six Realms activated instantly. Li Changgong pierced through space toward Silver Armor, his long blade carving out a distant slash through the air!

An attack that ignored all physical laws forced Silver Armor to set aside his reminiscences.

His form flickered through the air at lightning speed, dodging the lethal strike.

Li Changgong was somewhat stunned. He hadn't expected that even without his smoke form, Silver Armor's speed could be so tremendous, allowing him to evade the attack!

"The gap between you and me is not something your little tricks can bridge!"

Silver Armor's voice came through, cold as ice.

He raised his right hand and traced a cross in the air with his fingertip.

His hand moved like a pencil, and fine black mist trailed like charcoal dust etching into the sky, forming a black cross.

"Shk!"

The cross shot through the air in an instant, rapidly expanding as if it intended to swallow Li Changgong whole!

Li Changgong drew his blade and slashed out fiercely. The black cross of unimaginable power was split clean in two!

"No matter how ferocious your offense, before me, it will always be broken apart!"

Li Changgong stared intently at Silver Armor and activated Boundless Across the Six Realms once more, closing in for a melee assault!

But Silver Armor spoke: "What you can affect are only those scattered, floating wisps of smoke. The smoke within my body, however, is not so easily shattered by you!"

He opened his mouth and spewed forth a dense plume of black smoke from within his being, rapidly spreading across the sky.

Li Changgong's gleaming blade light slashed across the heavens, yet once again, it was deftly evaded by the smoke.

"As long as I avoid the direction your blade points, your threat is practically reduced to zero!"

Silver Armor's tone was calm, but Li Changgong could feel the thick mockery dripping from his words.

He gritted his teeth. "Then let's see whether you're faster, or I am!"

Black smoke coalesced behind Silver Armor into six massive wings. Like a dark angel fallen to the mortal world, he laughed uproariously as he streaked through the air at breakneck speed.

Li Changgong gripped his long blade, teleporting over and raising his weapon to strike!

The black smoke dodged his attack, then manipulated the smoke surrounding its body into countless spikes, blades, and spiral edges to assault him.

He no longer existed in smoke form, but if Li Changgong continued using the Sirius armor's pulses to counter the dispersed smoke, it could at best only delay the rhythm of his attacks.

This was because Sirius could only disperse the smoke and prevent Silver Armor's smoke-based body from maintaining a stable state. It possessed no significant killing power.

Li Changgong and Silver Armor clashed violently in mid-air. Every attack between them was lethal; whoever got struck by the other would face the brink of death.

The black smoke was highly versatile and extremely difficult to deal with, yet Li Changgong's pair of swift blades, backed by an unstoppable ability, forcibly carved through every incoming assault!

He laughed with unbridled exhilaration, using Boundless Across the Six Realms to rapidly close the distance with Silver Armor.

As long as he reached striking range, a single slash would be enough to cut down everything!

Forget Black Chariot-tier Transcendents, even Bishop Level fighters could not withstand the slash of his I Am the Decree of Heaven!

Silver Armor could sense the terrifying power of that blade edge, his eyes filled with shock.

"Such a high-level ability! A pure attack-type superpower that ignores everything! If this human is allowed to grow, he will definitely become a fearsome threat!"

A mass of black mist surged forth in his right hand.

"But fortunately, you are not yet my match!"

The smoke that filled the sky gradually descended upon Chang'an City.

Though it could not pose much of a threat to Li Changgong, to every living creature surviving within the entire city, it was lethal!

Even those Delta-level elite soldiers were nearly helpless against it!

The black smoke moved as if alive, covering their bodies, turning them into mummified gray wooden stakes.

From those withered trunks, resplendent and eerie flowers bloomed.

Every blossom that unfurled marked the fall of a life.

And Silver Armor's presence grew even stronger.

Those gray mists were also part of his body. The life force they absorbed would be converted into Silver Armor's own power.

Thus, with hundreds of thousands of surface troops serving as nourishment within Chang'an City, he could scarcely run out of energy!

Silver Armor's form flitted through the air like a fleeting shadow, vast amounts of smoke swirling around him. His speed was immense. Even with Li Changgong tracking him via Boundless Across the Six Realms, his twin blades still struggled to land a hit on Silver Armor's body.

"A blade that cannot strike its target is useless no matter how sharp it is!"

Silver Armor said calmly.

"All I need to do is avoid the edge of your weapon!"

His speed could not outpace Li Changgong's teleportation.

But that did not mean Li Changgong's sword swings could be faster than him.

As a subject of the Wuluan Empire, his physical qualities were inherently far superior to ordinary humans by a massive margin.

And a Black Chariot-tier individual was among the Wuluan Empire's most elite warriors, possessing incomparably rich combat experience.

With merely two long blades, how could he possibly land a hit?
