Ice Age Apocalypse: I Hoard Billions of Supplies-Chapter 1160: The Fall of Stars

Chapter 1160: The Fall of Stars

Penguins are social animals.

In the frigid Antarctic, they always move in groups, whether migrating, hunting, or raising their young.

But at a certain special moment, within a penguin colony, occasionally, there will be one individual that suddenly stops following the group's advance as it gazes towards distant mountains.

It looks at the distant snowy peaks and, after a long silence, abruptly leaves its colony.

It abandons the path leading to a more suitable living area and instead races towards the remote snowy mountains.

The distant snowy peaks are faintly visible, seemingly close, but in reality, they are far away.

And the penguin heading for the mountains cannot obtain food there; this behavior is tantamount to suicide.

Yet every penguin that chooses to leave the colony and head for the mountains does so resolutely, never looking back.

Until it dies on the way.

People always have a sudden moment of self-awareness.

At that time, they might not be mature or rational enough, acting for a simple ideal.

But at the very least, they live freely and unrestrained.

Just like Zhang Yi at this moment.

He was rarely impulsive this once, willingly giving up the chance to obtain a large amount of supplies, willingly incurring a grudge with the King of the Northwest, Li Changgong, that would be difficult to resolve—all just to slap Li Changgong hard in the face, to let Li Changgong know that his proud background and his conceited face were insignificant, utterly worthless, in Zhang Yi's eyes!

Zhang Yi closed the communication channel with Li Changgong; there was nothing more to discuss.

Li Changgong's plea for peace had already proven one thing: he was on the verge of giving up.

Zhang Yi finally raised the two guns in his hands, aiming at the figure on the ground below—Li Changgong, his face full of shock but still stubbornly upholding his laughable dignity.

"Stellar Descent!"

From his gun barrels, a torrent of black bullets surged forth, like one dazzling black meteor after another, streaking straight towards Li Changgong!

Zhang Yi didn't need to aim at all; every single bullet locked onto Li Changgong's location! 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞

In an instant, thousands, tens of thousands of bullets formed from Void energy assaulted the earth!

Li Changgong's pupils contracted sharply. He knew Zhang Yi was about to finish this!

However, he, Li Changgong, was not someone who would admit defeat so easily!

"Zhang Yi!!! You think you're worthy of beating me?!"

Li Changgong roared, raising his twin blades. Streaks of blade light soared into the air, slashing down star after star.

But the slashed stars did not vanish; instead, they crashed down to the ground.

Each dark star formed an incredibly massive crater upon impact!

In a very short time, the area within nearly ten thousand meters around Li Changgong had transformed into a gigantic, deep valley.

Torrential rain poured down without a moment's pause. The high sky was not lacking in dark clouds; natural phenomena had become weapons in Zhang Yi's hands.

Li Changgong charged left and right, struggling to withstand Zhang Yi's relentless, endless attacks.

He suddenly noticed something.

While fighting him, Zhang Yi could still stuff things into his mouth.

That was Yang Siya's upgraded Ability-Boosting Food. Zhang Yi's expended abilities could recover at the fastest speed.

But what kind of treatment did Li Changgong have?

Even if he carried some medicine on him, such things couldn't be used continuously, or they would overdraw his body.

He struggled to defend himself amidst the rainstorm and the dark stellar swarm. Even his tempered body showed signs of muscular fatigue from constantly swinging his blades.

His arms felt as heavy as a thousand jun; he could barely hold onto those two long blades.

Once the stimulant's effect wore off, that sore, heavy feeling made his arms and legs feel like they were filled with lead.

*Thud* *Thud* *Thud*

The sound of bullets striking his combat suit was heavy, like drumbeats pounding against Li Changgong's body.

His heart sank. His long blades could finally no longer block all the bullets.

Hesitation arose in Li Changgong's heart. He knew he had reached his limit.

Hesitation in his heart would slow his blade swings.

And the number of bullets hitting him increased even more.

"Could it be... I'm really going to lose?"

A chill ran through Li Changgong's blood. For the first time in his life, he felt immense terror.

It was the regret and shame of having his dignity utterly trampled, of being slapped hard in the face.

Recalling how he had repeatedly pressured Zhang Yi with an imposing manner to duel him, he wished he could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

But Zhang Yi would not show him any mercy.

When you're down, finish you off!

More large-caliber artillery began to target Li Changgong and open fire!

If these things hit him, even the top-tier combat suit would be shattered quickly!

Jiang Han watched with a face full of anxiety. "Marshal Qin, please make them stop now!"

Qin Qigong said leisurely, "But the outcome hasn't been decided yet. Unless Gouchen admits defeat himself."

Hearing this, Jiang Han immediately used the communication device to send a message to Li Changgong.

"Big Brother, admit defeat! Don't fight anymore!"

Li Changgong's heart was already in despair, but Jiang Han's words were like rubbing salt in his wound, causing a sharp pain in his heart.

Jiang Han was his childhood sweetheart, the younger sister who had always admired him since they were kids.

What had he said to Jiang Han back then?

At that time, he was full of confidence, telling Jiang Han with an air of assured victory that he would definitely teach Zhang Yi a harsh lesson and avenge her and Baihu.

And now?

His ugly, miserable state had been completely witnessed by Jiang Han.

Li Changgong gritted his teeth. He suddenly felt his throat tighten; he simply couldn't utter the three words, "I admit defeat."

A mocking smile played on Zhang Yi's lips. The rain of bullets around him did not lessen in the slightest; his attacks became even more ferocious.

Just as Li Changgong was about to give up, Zhang Yi initiated communication with him.

"Li Changgong, beg for mercy! Just obediently beg for mercy and admit defeat, and I won't bully you anymore."

"Hopefully, you'll learn a lesson from today's events. Stop thinking you're so amazing. Without a good family background, you're actually nothing."

"Come on, admit defeat quickly. Kneel down and say you were wrong. I really want to see that stubborn face of yours show an expression of defiance yet forced submission right now!"

Zhang Yi's series of taunts made Li Changgong's eyes turn red with rage.

He suddenly raised his head and let out a furious roar: "Zhang Yi!! I'll kill you!!"

*Whoosh!*

He charged skyward once more, braving the storm of bullets. At this moment, he had lost all reason and was determined to fight Zhang Yi to the death!

But what awaited him was only an even more violent assault from Zhang Yi.

"You seem to have misunderstood something."

"You're not a character in a comic book. Rage doesn't make you stronger. Maybe you should try a flashback sequence; that might boost your combat power a bit!"

Zhang Yi's mocking voice continued to ring in Li Changgong's ears.

And he merged his two guns together, aiming them at Li Changgong who was soaring into the air.

"It's about time to end this!"

An incredibly powerful force emanated from Zhang Yi's body. This aura was also something no one had ever felt from Zhang Yi before.

This was the most powerful attack Zhang Yi could unleash now. A massive vortex appeared behind him. The power of the Void spread out from within, as if a huge Abyssal Gate had opened in the sky.

Infinite power converged upon Zhang Yi, like a surging, massive undersea tide, flowing along his arms and then pouring into his two dark silver White Owls.

The next moment, a gigantic dark war spear emerged from the two guns.

"Spear of Annihilation!"
