Sequence Highway Survival: I Upgrade Supplies in the Apocalypse-Chapter 232: The Iron Lion’s Big Bare Butt

Captain Chu made a mark on everyone.

So when Chen Ye was pulled into the spatial domain, Captain Chu sensed it immediately.

Shocked, Captain Chu quickly contacted the pink-haired girl and Iron Lion.

The three of them rushed to the main street where Chen Ye had been stationed.

They practically tore the street apart but still couldn't find any trace of Chen Ye's aura.

Captain Chu's face turned very ugly.

He kept sensing repeatedly, trying to find any clue to Chen Ye's disappearance.

But nothing showed up.

Just a moment ago, when Chen Ye vanished, there had clearly been an anomalous scent wafting out.

Yes, it had wafted out, like a jar left slightly uncapped, a little smell escaping.

But when they got to the scene, there was no trace at all.

Even the elusive Taoist showed up.

The four of them together still found nothing.

The pink-haired girl grew visibly agitated.

Over and over she used sword-control technique to command the Fire Dragon Sword to patrol the main street,

trying to detect where the abnormality was.

It wasn't until Chen Ye used the Eight-Limbed Human Face to break the spatial domain

that the anomalous aura began to spread.

The pink-haired girl directed the fire dragon to strike…

and that produced the scene they had just witnessed.

A black figure became clearer inside the fire dragon vortex.

A gaunt, lanky silhouette stepped out of the flames.

He wore a mask, and the upward-curving crescent moon grin was still painted on it, but the mask had changed.

Before it had gilded theatrical patterns.

Now the mask bore flame motifs.

The masked figure tilted his head slightly and looked at the pink-haired girl.

"Flame? I can do that too!"

After he finished speaking, the masked man seemed to be set alight, his entire body bursting into towering flames many meters high.

The scorching fire almost ignited the air itself. 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

It directly set the houses lining the street on fire, and screams rose from inside.

Several burning figures leapt from the houses into the street, their bodies engulfed in consuming flames, but they collapsed after a few steps and did not move.

Only the flames continued to dance over their charred corpses.

"Retreat!"

Chen Ye exhaled a mouthful of smoke breath, spreading a mist that covered a radius of over a hundred meters,

also concealing everyone's silhouettes.

Under Chen Ye's command, the Human-Faced Scorpion vanished into the smoke.

Although the Human-Faced Scorpion had some self-awareness, it still obeyed Chen Ye's orders—it was far more obedient than the Eight-Limbed Human Face.

Simulating the Death God waving a scythe, it silently slashed toward the masked man,

but the masked man's withered arm blocked it.

Flames exploded across his body, instantly burning the simulated Death God to nothing.

It wasn't that the Death God simulation was weak;the anomaly it faced was simply too powerful.

Chen Ye's Blood Eye stared straight into the two black hollows on the flame mask.

Abyss control!

Whether human, animal, or anomaly,

Abyss control didn't pick and choose its targets.

That's part of what made Abyss control terrifying.

Chen Ye felt an icy, chilling force countering the power of the Blood Eye.

He could clearly sense the terror of that cold energy.

His Blood Eye couldn't resist that energy.

At least not at present.

"Strike!"

The pink-haired girl shot out from the mist, emitting a short exclamation like spring thunder.

The Fire Dragon Sword seemed to awaken with a will of its own, making a slight spiral in the air and landing at the masked man's back.

Credit where it's due: the pink-haired girl had a talent for seizing opportunities.

Only at the instant the Blood Eye tried to take hold of the masked man did the masked man hesitate for a fraction of a second,

and the pink-haired girl seized that opening.

Mind you, the time those two black pits on the masked man's face met the Blood Eye was less than a second.

"Ee-ya!~~"

Iron Lion burst through Chen Ye's smoke veil, his muscles swollen, looking like some muscle-bound monster from myth.

He slammed a savage punch toward the masked man.

At the same time, a faint golden light emanated from Iron Lion's body.

This had to be the Diamond Demon-Subduing Fist he had traded for with the Big Monk earlier.

The punch even produced a shockwave.

A flying sword stabbed through the masked man's entire body.

Centered on the flying sword's penetration, the masked man's body slowly turned into red flames.

Judging from the masked man's reaction, the blade hadn't hurt him.

He grabbed the flying sword with one hand.

Flames roared over his body, seeming to intend to consume the sword.

The pink-haired girl's face changed, and she murmured spells under her breath.

The flying sword struggled wildly but couldn't escape the masked man's flame control.

Iron Lion's massive fist came at him.

That punch carried an explosive force and boundless momentum.

Countless raging flames seemed enraged, roaring to engulf Iron Lion.

In an instant, Iron Lion's hair, clothing, even his eyelashes were burnt into ash.

His skin bubbled, then charred and blackened, emitting a foul roasted-meat smell.

His clothes turned to dust in that moment.

Iron Lion became a stark, naked, blackened man.

Well, save for a tiny patch of bitter tea seed left on him.

Just a little!

Fortunately, when the flames reached that patch, the shockwave from Iron Lion's punch halted them.

Ignoring the flames, Iron Lion roared and landed the punch anyway,

like an angry, stupid bull.

These flames might be lethal to ordinary people,

but for the Titan Sequence, they were hardly a problem.

Under Iron Lion's punch, the sky's fire erupted.

The flying sword circled once and returned to the pink-haired girl's hand.

Is it over?

No way…

Rule-based anomalies don't resolve so simply.

Chen Ye saw a small flame bud slowly growing and taking shape.

The masked man reappeared not far away.

He was—completely unscathed!!!

What the hell…

Iron Lion roared and charged again.

Flame patterns on the mask flared, and the Fire Dragon vortex that the pink-haired girl had used against him reappeared around the masked man.

With a gentle touch, the masked man directed it at Iron Lion.

Suddenly, countless falling fire droplets rained down from the sky,

disrupting Iron Lion's rhythm and scalding the big fool until he howled in pain.

That huge, uncovered butt bounced and flopped in front of everyone, painfully eye-watering.

But no one cared about Iron Lion's bare butt right now.

Chen Ye tightened his grip on Hatred's hilt,

carefully controlling the mist to spread over the battlefield.

Bang!

At that moment, a golden bullet streaked in a straight line before Chen Ye, barreling into the masked man's flame-patterned mask with unstoppable force.

It was that elusive Taoist.

He had finally fired.

That golden bullet didn't just carry overwhelming force.

It was wrapped in pure thunderlight.

The bullet bore familiar runes.

They looked like the Five Thunder Talismans' runes the Taoist had been selling that day!

It was a talisman bullet.

He had used the Hemorrhoid Sniper he'd swapped with Chen Ye.

The Taoist stood not far down the street holding the rifle.

That Hemorrhoid Sniper had been altered into something Chen Ye hardly recognized.

The gun was plastered with talisman papers, resembling a ritual staff more than a firearm.

A faint aura of thunderlight swirled along the barrel.

After this shot,

all the talismans on the gun instantly turned to ash and scattered into the air.

Those talismans expended all their power in that one shot.

Chen Ye's Blood Eye had exceptional vision, and he saw it clearly.

That bullet was the Taoist's recent masterpiece.

He had inscribed Five Thunder Talismans' runes on the bullet itself.

The gun was covered with all sorts of power-enhancing talisman papers.

Even Chen Ye felt a tremor when that golden bullet zipped past his vision.

In that instant, the Hemorrhoid Sniper numbered in the seven-thousands finally lived up to its name, Fatal Sniper.

The bullet struck the flame mask.

The mask was slammed backward, tilting a full ninety degrees.

Silence fell over the scene.

Even the flames stopped burning.

The Taoist breathed hard, leaning on the gun like a crutch, staring at the battlefield with trembling lips.

Chen Ye's Blood Eye clearly saw a small, unnoticed crack appear on the mask.

One had to admit the Taoist's shot packed enough punch.

If the Taoist could have fired one more shot now,

the mask would have shattered for sure.

But…

the Taoist had exhausted himself and couldn't fire again in the short term.

Chen Ye could see the crack on the mask slowly knitting itself back together.

The pink-haired girl looked anxious;the flying sword circled, wanting to strike again,

but it was too far away.

Iron Lion saw it too and, despite being scalded and howling, planned to rush in and finish the job.

Just then,

a scorpion tail made of mist shot out from the smoke like lightning,

piercing precisely where the Taoist's shot had struck.

Under the sudden sting, that small crack seemed to… widen slightly.

Assassins rely on one fatal strike;they strike once regardless of the opponent's life.

But Chen Ye was not an assassin.

At his command, the scorpion tail struck a second time, then a third…

Each jab came as fast as lightning,

driving the mask into the ground.

Dust billowed up.

Strike while he's down!

The crack on the mask kept widening.

Widening and widening…

Crack!~~

Finally, a small hole appeared in the forehead of the mask.
