Ice Age Apocalypse: I Hoard Billions of Supplies
Chapter 649: Clone

Chapter 649: Clone

On Wu Shifang’s battlefield, the fight was on the verge of erupting.

Sakuraba Yushimitsu and Kurosawa Akira, acting as if none of this concerned them, silently backed away.

To show they wouldn't interfere in the battle, they actually moved dozens of meters away and sat down on a collapsed pillar.

Wu Shifang stared at the towering giant in front of him, calculating inwardly:

These guys really don’t take us seriously, huh?

But that works in our favor. Three-on-one—we might actually have a chance to kill him with our combined abilities!

The thought excited him.

If they managed to take down a core member of the Moon of Corrosion, the headquarters would award them a massive amount of points.

Daiku Kai Enzu fixed his gaze on them and lazily raised one arm, beckoning them with a dismissive wave.

“What are you waiting for? Afraid to fight one-on-three?”

As a Beast-type Superhuman, Daiku Kai Enzu hadn’t even transformed yet.

Everything—from his words to his body language—dripped with contempt.

“B*stard!”

Wu Shifang gritted his teeth. “Fine then—come on!!”

He reached behind him and pulled out a massive weapons case.

It was a black metal box, and at a glance, it could easily be mistaken for a small coffin.

Boom!

The heavy case landed with a thunderous thud.

At the same time, Wu Shifang’s body began to shift and contort in strange ways.

His flesh twisted and rippled, and in no time, it started to split right down the middle!

A large mass of yellowish flesh peeled off one side of his body and dropped to the ground with a plop, like an over-watered lump of dough.

But in the next moment, the sticky mass began to swell and reshape, gradually taking on human form.

Naked, but otherwise identical in appearance to Wu Shifang!

This was Wu Shifang’s ability—Clone Projection.

Although unclothed, the clone’s looks and build were exactly the same as Wu Shifang’s.

After all, it was a part of his body.

Wu Shifang had once been a courier in Jiangning City.

He grew up in an orphanage and was raised in solitude, making him yearn deeply for love and companionship.

That inner loneliness gave birth to his ability—splitting himself to create a dependable partner.

In his mind, for a powerful Enhancement-type Superhuman, what better advantage could there be than having two bodies?

And so now, what stood before Daiku Kai Enzu was no longer just a powerful Enhancement-type fighter—

But two of them!

Wu Shifang opened the weapons case, which had compartments on both sides.

From one side, he pulled out a massive silver oxhorn bow and handed it to his clone.

Then, from the other side, he drew two enormous bronze hammers.

These were Drum-Urn Hammers, weapons said to be used by General Ma Yuan of the Han Dynasty,

And supposedly the favorite weapon of Li Yuanba—the most powerful warrior under the heavens.

Each hammer was larger than an adult’s head, forged from solid alloy, and weighed over a hundred jin (~110 lbs).

It was like swinging two grown men as weapons.

Weapons like this only existed in legends—

But in this mutated era, someone had truly mastered them.

The clone’s silver oxhorn bow radiated just as much menace.

Wu Shifang stood at the front and said in a deep voice,

“I’ll keep him busy head-on. You guys strike however you see fit!”

No one replied, but their eyes were locked dead-on Daiku Kai Enzu.

Even the two Ronin watching from afar didn’t dare let their guard down.

Believing an enemy’s words at face value would just be plain stupid.

“Oh? Looks like you’ve got some guts.”

Daiku Kai Enzu commented casually.

He finished assembling his Dragonfly Cutter, and with a casual swing, the weapon sliced the air with a terrifying whoosh.

“Go!”

The moment Wu Shifang shouted, his body became a blur, storming toward Daiku Kai Enzu like a tornado.

At the same time, his clone drew the bow and fired.

The massive silver oxhorn bow curved like a full moon, and with a loud whoosh, the arrow shrieked through the air like a falcon’s cry!

The arrow's speed was perfectly matched with Wu Shifang’s charge, striking from opposite directions toward Daiku Kai Enzu!

Daiku Kai Enzu’s eyes narrowed.

He casually swept his Dragonfly Cutter sideways and knocked the blurred arrow away.

But from the other side, Wu Shifang’s massive hammer was already slamming toward his waist!

Among experts who use melee weapons, blunt instruments are often the deadliest.

Even a single solid hit to any part of the body could render a person useless in combat.

This two-pronged assault left most people with no time to react.

And Daiku Kai Enzu wasn’t a speed-type superhuman—he couldn’t knock away the arrow and dodge the hammer at the same time.

But as the hammer bore down on him—

He made just one simple move.

A massive palm reached out, steady and fast, and caught Wu Shifang’s thunderous blow!

Thud-thud-thud!

The impact was so strong, even Daiku Kai Enzu staggered back three steps.

He looked at Wu Shifang with a hint of surprise.

“Not bad. You’ve got some power!”

But Wu Shifang broke out in a cold sweat.

That was his all-out attack, and the guy had caught it with one hand?!

Just how terrifying was this man’s body and strength?

Instead of getting angry, Daiku Kai Enzu looked even more excited.

With a grin, he beckoned him forward:

“Come on—again!”

Wu Shifang clenched his teeth and roared.

He charged once more, swinging both hammers down from above like twin thunders crashing toward Daiku Kai Enzu’s skull!

This time, Daiku Kai Enzu planted his legs into the ground like two pillars,

Taking up the classic sumo stance—rooted to the earth, immovable like a mountain.

The hammers came crashing down, and he swung his Dragonfly Cutter again.

Clang!!

The sound of metal-on-metal was deafening.

With just a light deflection, Daiku Kai Enzu sent Wu Shifang flying over ten meters!

Wu Shifang’s spine went numb, and pain shot through his wrists.

Looking down, he saw his hands trembling uncontrollably—blood flowing freely.

How can there be such a huge gap in strength?!

He was stunned.

Ever since the apocalypse began, he had reigned supreme in Jiangning City with raw strength alone.

This was the first time he had ever been completely overpowered in raw force.

Fortunately, he wasn’t fighting alone.

As he took the brunt of the attack from the front, his teammates made their move.

A black crab suddenly appeared on Daiku Kai Enzu’s back.

Its eyes flashed an eerie red light, blinking faster and faster.

By the time Daiku Kai Enzu noticed, a violent explosion erupted behind him!

“We got him!”

Mo Zhongning’s lips curled into a satisfied smile.

His Soul Beast was formed by his ability—not only could it scout, but it could also self-destruct.

That attack just now had been a combined move, executed with help from Li Weihai.

Li Weihai, like Zhang Yi, was a rare Spatial-type Superhuman.

But his ability was different.

Zhang Yi’s power was storage,

Whereas Li Weihai’s power was transfer.

He could shift a certain mass of matter—or even people—within a spatial range.

That last hit?

It was him using his ability to place Mo Zhongning’s explosive Soul Beast directly onto Daiku Kai Enzu.

A perfectly timed combo attack.
