Chapter 755: You're Really Hard to Kill
After Zhang Yi instantly killed Shinguuji Seiichiro, his gaze turned toward the two separate battlefields in the distance.
The fight between Baili Changqing and Daiku Kai Enzu was brutal and bloody. The two power-type close combat experts were locked in a deadly melee. After taking Compound-5, Baili Changqing's strength had been greatly enhanced, allowing him to suppress Daiku Kai Enzu throughout the battle.
However, Daiku Kai Enzu's defensive capabilities were equally astonishing. Despite being beaten into a miserable state, he hadn't suffered any fatal injuries. Even when slashed by the Fangtian Halberd, only layers of greasy fat were revealed without any ruptured blood vessels. If this continued, even if Baili Changqing could win, he would likely die from overexertion.
Zhang Yi took out his enormous sniper rifle Thunderbolt and locked onto Daiku Kai Enzu several kilometers away. Already on the brink of life and death, Daiku Kai Enzu suddenly felt overwhelming danger signals screaming in his mind - a premonition of death!
Escape! His mind screamed only this thought - he had to flee or he would certainly die! But Baili Changqing gave him no opportunity. Covered in crimson aura, Baili Changqing gripped the Fangtian Halberd with a face twisted into a demonic visage by the drugs, relentlessly attacking without giving Daiku Kai Enzu any breathing room.
And then Thunderbolt fired.
The earth-shaking roar of Thunderbolt sent a silver bullet infused with tremendous spatial power streaking across kilometers in an instant! Daiku Kai Enzu's face turned deathly pale before he released a blood-curdling scream that echoed for kilometers. The onlookers had no idea what could make the powerful Japanese sumo wrestler scream like that.
"However strong your defense is," Zhang Yi said coldly from the air, "you can't possibly train that area."
Though momentarily stunned, the battle-hardened Baili Changqing wouldn't miss this opportunity. He charged forward with the Fangtian Halberd and brought it down with thunderous force!
The halberd blade bit deep into Daiku Kai Enzu's thick neck but failed to completely decapitate him. White fat mixed with blood oozed out. Even with his neck half-severed, Daiku Kai Enzu desperately clenched his muscles to trap the blade before shoving the halberd away and attempting to flee.
"Really hard to kill!" Zhang Yi frowned. High-level body cultivators had absurd defenses that made them incredibly difficult to finish off.
He swiftly reloaded and fired again.
This shot targeted the back of Daiku Kai Enzu's knee, blasting a huge hole that sent him crashing to the ground. Baili Changqing pursued like a determined butcher chasing a dying hog.
"Die already!" He leaped up and drove the halberd straight through Daiku Kai Enzu's back with both hands!
The weapon sank deep into Daiku Kai Enzu's body, yet he still struggled. A dying man's strength became limitless - he nearly threw Baili Changqing off. Zhang Yi quickly reloaded and shot his other leg.
With both legs ruined and covered in wounds, Daiku Kai Enzu actually began crawling away using only his arms.
"Captain! Where are you? Why won't you help me?" Daiku Kai Enzu roared. Zhang Yi's appearance had dashed any hope of turning this battle around.
"Finish it quickly. I can't trap Phoenixin Ren much longer!" Zhang Yi warned. He could feel his dimensional space weakening.
Baili Changqing grew anxious. Why was this fat bastard so hard to kill? Then inspiration struck as he looked at the crawling man. Gripping the Fangtian Halberd, he charged like lightning.
The halberd streaked through the air, its tip glinting coldly. Catching up, Baili Changqing thrust it deep into Daiku Kai Enzu from behind.
As the old saying goes - no matter how tough a man is, his intestines remain soft.
The Fangtian Halberd penetrated completely until half the shaft had disappeared inside. Baili Changqing used all his strength to lift Daiku Kai Enzu into the air like a skewered kebab.
An inhuman shriek tore from Daiku Kai Enzu's throat as he weakly thrashed in the air before going limp. His vitality was terrifying - even this didn't kill him immediately. Baili Changqing proceeded to stab repeatedly into existing wounds, turning every orifice into mush.
Only after hundreds of stabs did life finally leave Daiku Kai Enzu's body. Breathing heavily, Baili Changqing thought: Zhang Yi's methods really are effective. He planted the Fangtian Halberd into the ground, Daiku Kai Enzu's corpse hanging from it like butchered meat, blood soaking the snow beneath.
Meanwhile, Yang Xinxin pondered Zhang Yi's words. While they currently held the advantage, the situation wasn't completely in their favor. Once Phoenixin Ren broke free, they'd have to face a captain-level opponent without Zhang Yi's dimensional abilities.
"We need to find that shrine maiden!" She understood much of Phoenixin Ren's power came from the shrine maiden's abilities.
Meng Siyu approached. "Leave that to me." She activated her [Omniscient View] domain, instantly scanning everything within three kilometers. Soon she located Takeuchi Mayumi's hiding place - a container area at Chaoyu Harbor.
"She's hiding there with another Moon of Corrosion superhuman!"
"Let me capture her!"
Xue Miao and Ye He volunteered. As assassination-type superhumans, this was their specialty.
Feeling his dimensional space nearing collapse, Zhang Yi turned his attention to the final battlefield - Liang Yue's decisive battle against Tsukamoto Nobunaga.
