Chapter 412: Battle!


    “Let’s begin!” Zhang Yi said calmly.


    He wasn’t surprised that the defensive line was breached. After all, it was merely an ice wall, incapable of withstanding every attack. What did catch him off guard was the sheer strength of the Ice Element Superhuman, who had ripped through the wall like tearing paper.


    But Zhang Yi had contingencies. Behind the breached line was the secondyer of defense: Uncle You, Liang Yue, and the others.


    Wei Dinghaiughed as he effortlessly shattered the ice wall, tearing a massive gap into it. Yet, in that moment, a chilling killing intent locked onto him.


    Wei Dinghai’s pupils narrowed as a sharp, icy gleam shed past his neck.


    “Crack!”


    The thick ice armor protecting his neck shattered, scattering blue ice crystals. Wei Dinghai awkwardly rolled on the ground to dodge the fatal blow. When he looked up, he saw a woman wielding a long, narrow de, her eyes brimming with murderous intent.


    “She broke through my ice armor?” Wei Dinghai muttered, now on high alert. His armor, forged of solid ice crystals, had a defensive strengthparable to high-grade synthetic metals. Yet this woman had nearly severed his neck in a single strike!“Not bad!”


    Wei Dinghai had no intention of continuing the duel. He immediately melded into the snow beneath him, where his power was at its peak.


    Liang Yue frowned and shouted, “Fatty Xu!”


    Fatty Xu arrived just in time to see another Ice Element Superhuman, clearly stronger than him. He sighed in relief—this was a fight he didn’t need to take on himself.


    Without hesitation, Fatty Xu ripped up arge patch of the snowy ground. The thin snowyer surrounding the Shelter, a result of both terrain and prior battles, made it easy to expose the earth beneath.


    Realizing the danger, Wei Dinghai had no choice but to surface from the snow. Liang Yue, prepared for this moment, struck with a de full of killing intent.


    “Crack!”


    Her de, over a meter long, released an arc of energy three meters wide, slicing through the pale blue ice armor on Wei Dinghai’s chest.


    He gasped in pain as a thin red line of blood appeared, seeping through the broken armor.


    Gritting his teeth, Wei Dinghai used his powers to quickly regenerate the iceyer over his wound, staunching the bleeding. He hadn’t expected the Shelter to harbor someone so skilled in closebat.


    Despite being injured, Wei Dinghai had achieved his objective: breaching the defensive line. He retreated through the gap, avoiding further confrontation with Liang Yue.


    As Liang Yue prepared to pursue him, a wave of enemy soldiers, armed and charging, surged through the gap. Bullets rained down like a storm.


    Taking a deep breath, Liang Yue drew her de and charged straight into the mass of enemies.


    Fatty Xu shouted in rm, “Teacher Liang, don’t be reckless!”


    But Zhang Yi’s calm voice cut through. “Just hold the gap. Let her go.”


    Liang Yue needed to vent her rage. Allowing her to ughter the enemy would help release her inner turmoil. It was her choice, and Zhang Yi wouldn’t stop her.


    “Stay alert! The big yers are about to join the fight!” he warned.


    At this stage of the battle, ordinary soldiers were bing less relevant. Superhumans would now determine the oue.


    As expected, with the breach in the defensive line, the firepower faltered, relieving much of the pressure on the allied forces.


    Xiao Honglian leaped onto the hood of an armored vehicle, took a swig from her sk of high-proof alcohol, and spat out a long stream of fire that coiled into a zing dragon.


    The remaining ice walls melted instantly, and the weapons concealed within were rendered ineffective.


    The allied forces cheered and surged forward, exhrated by the open path ahead. The expanse before them was clear, with the Shelter standing alone in the distance.


    “Victory is ours! Charge!”


    Mad Dog Liu Xian howled in excitement, dropping to all fours and racing toward the breach at breakneck speed.


    But just as the soldiers approached, a sudden blizzard swept through. Fatty Xu summoned the snow, creating obstacles at the breach.


    Standing guard was the now-erged Hua Hua, who roared so thunderously that it caused hundreds of soldiers to clutch their ears in pain, some bleeding, and others copsing in disorientation.


    “Boom!” “Boom!” “Boom!”


    Heavy footsteps approached as Uncle You transformed into a two-meter-tall giant. Bare-chested and draped in ammunition belts, he carried two Gatling guns, positioning himself at the breach.


    “RAAARGH!”


    Uncle You roared, pulling the triggers. zing streams of bullets tore through the snowstorm, striking and dismembering soldiers caught in their path.


    “Thud!” “Thud!” “Thud!”


    Blood mist filled the air as high-powered bullets shattered bodies. Soldiers, despite their bulletproof gear, fell like wheat under a scythe.


    Meanwhile, Liang Yue was in a frenzy on another battlefield. Her Strength Enhancement ability amplified her speed, power, reflexes, and even her senses. Coupled with her expertise as a Martial Arts Master, she was unstoppable.


    Each swing of her de imed another life.


    Her eyes locked on Xiao Honglian, standing ame atop an armored vehicle.


    Rage surged as Liang Yue charged, de aimed at her foe. But a sharp glint of steel suddenly streaked toward her neck.


    “ng!”


    Liang Yue’s de deflected the strike, revealing Mad Dog Liu Xian ring at her with predatory intent.


    “You can’t just cut my men down like they’re nothing,” he growled.


    Xiao Honglian spared Liang Yue a fleeting nce before dismissing her. As amander, she had bigger concerns than an enemy soldier.


    But Liang Yue’s eyes glowed a sinister red, her aura exuding an eerie malevolence unfamiliar even to her allies.


    Liu Xian smirked, sensing her growing ferocity. “Interesting,” he hissed, his tongue flicking out as he crouched. His body began to erge, ws and fangs extending like des.


    Liang Yue calmly sheathed her de and lowered her stance. Her mastery of martial arts included techniques from around the world, and her Iaido strike was among her deadliest.


    Liu Xian, beast-like and bloodthirsty, lunged at her with inhuman speed, leaving afterimages in his wake. His gray wolf mutation granted him unparalleled agility and power, able to block even sniper bullets.


    But as he closed in, Liang Yue closed her eyes.


    The battlefield stilled.


    In a sh, Liu Xian’s ws shed toward her neck. But her de struck first, severing both his arms and shing through his throat in a fluid motion.


    Liu Xian’s body continued to rush forward, his head and limbs finally tumbling to the ground some distance away.n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om


    ...


    Back at the breach, Uncle You, Hua Hua, and Fatty Xu held the line, ughtering countless soldiers.


    But the arrival of allied Superhumans turned the tide. Chaoyu and Yangsheng Bases had plenty of skilled fighters, and with the defensive line breached, their abilities came to the forefront.


    Although injured, Wei Dinghai retreated. But five more Superhumans joined the fray.


    Uncle You was still firing his Gatling guns when a white blur zipped past his side.


    A momentter, Chen Jingguan, Wei Dinghai’s lieutenant, wrapped himself around Uncle You like a boneless serpent, constricting him tightly.


    “My body can’t even be pierced by sniper bullets. You think you can break free?” Chen Jingguan sneered, his Rubber Man abilities making him the perfect counter to Uncle You’s brute strength.


    Just then, Hua Hua roared, stunning Chen Jingguan long enough for Uncle You to pry him off and toss him aside.


    But more Superhumans were closing in.


    Realizing the futility of holding the line, Zhang Yi issued amand.


    “Everyone, fall back to the Shelter!”


    “Liang Yue, that includes you. Vengeance won’t help now. Be rational!”


    Hearing the order, the team began a tactical retreat.


    Liang Yue nced at the wolf’s head in her hand, a strange light flickering in her eyes. With blood sttered across her face, she wiped it clean and silently obeyed, retreating to the Shelter.


    Her abilities were nearly drained, and without Yang Siyah’s prepared provisions, she wouldn’t havested this long.


    Despite the bitter fight, Liang Yue’s gains were significant. But continuing the battle was pointless; she couldn’t reach Xiao Honglian, her ultimate target.
