Ice Age Apocalypse: I Hoard Billions of Supplies-Chapter 669: You’re Already Dead
Chapter 669: You’re Already Dead
Liao Honglei swiftly took down Kinmaru, eliminating one of the five major Shikigami guarding Shinguuji Seiichiro.
This development made everyone at the Operations Command Center sit up in excitement.
An Onmyoji’s combat strength comes from their Shikigami and Curse Techniques.
As long as all the Shikigami are taken out, Shinguuji Seiichiro would be nothing more than a lamb waiting to be slaughtered, and Liao Honglei could wipe him out effortlessly!
A smile tugged at the corner of Liao Honglei’s lips as he stared hard at Shinguuji Seiichiro in the distance. The murderous intent in his eyes was utterly unrestrained.
Yet Shinguuji Seiichiro remained expressionless as he pushed up his gold-rimmed glasses.
Then, casually reaching into his pocket, he pulled out another talisman folded in the shape of a monkey.
“Go.”
He murmured a chant and tossed the talisman into the air.
Golden light enveloped the charm, and in an instant, another identical Kinmaru materialized.
Liao Honglei’s pupils contracted sharply at the sight.
Even the smiles on the faces at the Operations Command Center froze. fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com
They had just killed a Shikigami, and the guy summoned another one like it was nothing?
But Tu Yunlie said to Liao Honglei, “It’s not that simple! The talisman is the core of a Shikigami. Destroying the talisman does indeed kill it.”
“But if the guy prepared enough talismans, there’s no way you can wipe out all the Shikigami in one go.”
“Still, the energy cost of his ability is very real. If you keep killing his Shikigami, he won’t be able to keep up with the drain.”
“Maintaining five Shikigami at once takes a ridiculous amount of energy.”
Liao Honglei nodded.
“I get that. But this kind of energy drain isn’t exactly a good deal for me.”
His expression grew heavier.
He was a close-combat Enhancement-type Superhuman by nature, while Shinguuji Seiichiro was an Onmyoji skilled in special techniques.
Different paths, different strengths.
Liao Honglei relied on hand-to-hand combat.
So in terms of total energy reserves, he was at a disadvantage against Shinguuji Seiichiro.
A battle of attrition like this? Odds were, he’d lose.
If taking out the Shikigami didn’t work, there was only one option left—kill the Onmyoji himself!
That thought crystallized in Liao Honglei’s mind.
He realized he couldn’t waste any more time on the Shikigami!
He quickly drew a large-caliber pistol with his left hand and aimed at Shinguuji Seiichiro several hundred meters away—then fired!
As a battle-hardened warrior from the military, even shooting left-handed, he was deadly accurate.
Black Origin Bullets shot out from the barrel in rapid succession.
If Shinguuji Seiichiro represented arcane arts, then Origin Bullets were his natural nemesis!
Shinguuji Seiichiro’s brows furrowed. The Blue Bird guarding him flapped its wings violently, whipping up a massive tornado-like gust around him.
The Origin Bullets could break through magic, but the ferocious wind threw their trajectories off.
A hint of caution flickered in Shinguuji Seiichiro’s eyes.
Someone from the Jiangnan District had warned him about these Origin Bullets.
If he got careless, they could kill him instantly!
Even as a Delta-level Superhuman, he wouldn’t survive.
“Keep attacking—kill him!”
Shinguuji Seiichiro raised his right hand, extended his index and middle fingers, and began channeling Shikigami power!
The aura around the Shikigami glowed even brighter in five colors. Kinmaru and Akamaru lunged toward Liao Honglei again.
Liao Honglei kept a cold expression as he tried to use Origin Bullets to strike them.
They did have an effect—but not enough to destroy the Shikigami cores. At best, they drained some of their energy.
That approach wouldn’t yield any real result.
Worse, Ginmaru was still eyeing him like a hawk—and out of nowhere, it fired an energy cannon blast at him!
If things kept going like this, Liao Honglei would be stuck on the defensive.
One wrong move, and he had no doubt these terrifying Shikigami would tear him apart!
Even in such dire straits, Liao Honglei remained calm.
He’d been through countless life-and-death missions.
His unshakable will, forged in the military, let him stay level-headed under pressure.
He fought on, entangling with the Shikigami while silently calculating the distance between himself and Shinguuji Seiichiro.
“About 350 meters. If I want to get close enough to kill him, I’ll need 3 seconds.”
“But first, I need to get rid of these two Shikigami.”
“Then there’s that wind-controlling one—that’s going to be a pain.”
A plan was already forming in his mind.
Clatter!
He holstered the pistol, then with a sweep of his left hand, scattered over a dozen bombs across the battlefield!
Shinguuji Seiichiro’s gaze sharpened, and the Blue Bird whipped up a gale to prevent the explosives from reaching him.
But the moment those bombs hit the ground—they activated!
To his surprise, there were no chain explosions. Instead, blinding white light burst forth, so bright it made his eyes water.
They were high-intensity flashbangs.
The entire battlefield lit up like daylight—so bright that no one could see a thing.
And Shinguuji Seiichiro couldn’t see where Liao Honglei had gone.
But Liao Honglei was wearing a tactical scope—one of the latest from Deng Technology. It allowed him to see in pitch black and even maintain vision under intense light.
The effect of the flashbangs? Shinguuji Seiichiro was temporarily blinded and immobilized—he couldn’t even locate his attacker.
The moment those lights went off, Liao Honglei moved!
His legs swelled with strength, and his speed shot through the roof!
Three seconds—that’s all he needed to close the distance.
Against an Onmyoji, if Liao Honglei could get up close, he didn’t even need his powers. His fists alone would be enough to pound the guy into meat paste!
Shinguuji Seiichiro sensed the danger and realized exactly what Liao Honglei intended to do.
“B*stard!”
He cursed and immediately turned to flee deeper into Jiangning Plaza.
But how could an Onmyoji possibly outrun an Enhancement-type Superhuman?
In the blink of an eye, Liao Honglei appeared right in front of him, wearing a cruel smile.
“You’re already dead.”
Liao Honglei said coldly.
But just then, the fear on Shinguuji Seiichiro’s face vanished.
He looked at Liao Honglei with a twisted smile, eerie and unnatural.
That grin kept stretching—until it reached all the way past his ears.
A chill shot down Liao Honglei’s spine. In that instant, he realized—he’d been had.
But it was too late to retreat. Shinguuji Seiichiro had already grabbed hold of his arm!
