Chapter 57: Traversing the Taihang Mountains

On a distant mountain peak, the dark muzzles of cannons suddenly emitted dazzling light, unleashing terrifying firepower and bombarding the small hill not far away.

Chu Feng leaped, launching himself down the mountain like a Roc, descending from the steep cliff face, the wind whistling past his ears.

Boom! On the hilltop, six or seven shells landed simultaneously, emitting intense light. The massive explosions shook White Snake Ridge, causing the ground to tremble and rocks to fly, a terrifying sight.

All the mutants were terrified. Celestial Organism was too ruthless, using such thermal weapons against mutants. Who could possibly withstand it?

Rolling heat waves surged, and on that hilltop, ancient trees snapped and turned to ash. The entire mountaintop was obliterated, and many rocks melted!

The scene was chilling; the hilltop was gone, completely blown away, left barren and scorched black!

If Chu Feng had been even a moment later, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

He had to sigh. In this post-civilization era, the power wielded by the major conglomerates was astonishing; they even possessed all sorts of thermal weapons, something ordinary people couldn't even imagine.

In the post-civilization era, when order was being reshaped, early conglomerates became a significant force, participating in the formulation of many rules.

Many years had passed, and they had always remained low-key, not showing their true power. But who would have thought they could be so terrifying at a critical moment?

Chu Feng dove down from the mountain, disappearing into the forest. Artillery fire continued behind him, sending rocks tumbling. The small hill had already become significantly shorter!

A rock fell, striking the Yellow Ox, which let out a low bellow of pain. It wasn't that its reaction was slow, but rather that walking upright while wearing beast hide clothing was too awkward.

The Yellow Ox stumbled, almost falling head over heels. It was fortunate to be thick-skinned and immensely strong; if it had been a human struck by an eight-hundred-jin rock, their bones would have shattered.

Even so, the Yellow Ox grew enraged. With a low roar, golden beams of light shot from its eyes, fixing on the distant mountain peak.

"Those rocket launchers over there are yours!" Chu Feng said.

He knew the Yellow Ox was no pushover; it would likely charge over and destroy those dark muzzles, and some people were about to suffer.

Meanwhile, Chu Feng also moved, rushing to the other side to confront Mu himself. Having escalated to this point, he no longer cared if the opponent was an important member of Celestial Organism.

Anyone who dared to target him like this, to try and kill him, would be killed without hesitation!

Chu Feng's speed was incredible; he could currently cover a hundred meters in just 1.1 seconds. When he took large strides, to many, it seemed as if a single bound carried him dozens of meters.

Bang bang bang... During this process, countless bullets swept across, hitting the ground behind him. It was a veritable downpour of gunfire, breaking many large trees which crashed to the ground.

The bullet density was simply overwhelming!

Boom! Shells also fell, exploding with intense light in the mountainous terrain. The terrifying heat melted rocks, scorched earth, and more.

What was astonishing was that not a single bullet hit Chu Feng. He constantly changed direction, always managing to evade them in advance. The tongues of fire from those thermal weapons always seemed to be chasing him from behind.

Many mutants were dumbfounded, their eyes wide as they watched the bizarre scene. They were shocked, unnerved, and envious all at once, their emotions complex.

This was the ability they dreamed of. In the future, when facing thermal weapons, they would have to overcome this challenge, and this individual had already mastered it!

Chu Feng moved swiftly; a sidestep carried him over a dozen meters, and a single leap placed him dozens of meters away. Such speed was terrifying.

In the battlefield, he was like a phantom, incredibly swift, using his extraordinary perception to avoid all dangers, weaving rapidly through a hail of bullets.

Many were petrified. Was he still human? How could he accomplish this?!

Lin Nuoyi's expression changed; she knew they had encountered serious trouble. Celestial Organism, in its confrontation with Bodhi Gene, should never have provoked such a supreme master.

Mu's face changed. He had already re-evaluated that individual, only to find him even more formidable than imagined. This was an extremely dangerous person.

"We must eliminate him! Concentrate all fire on him and kill him!" Mu said, gritting his teeth.

His eyes were cold. Since they had already provoked him, they had to eradicate him, seize this chance to destroy him, or he would surely become a major threat in the future.

He was a decisive person; once he made a decision, he would act on it immediately.

The explosions grew even more deafening. Even though Chu Feng was hiding in the forest, moving between one small hill and another, he was still subjected to fierce barrages of gunfire.

Anyone else would have already been reduced to a pulp!

"Director, that person is incredible! He's not afraid of bullets, and artillery fire is useless against him. Is he even human? He's like a terrestrial deity!"

Someone exclaimed in amazement, almost dumbfounded.

"What are you standing around for?! Record everything! Full coverage, don't miss a single segment!" Zhou Yitian roared, his eyes red with urgency and excitement.

In his opinion, this Ox God King was truly formidable, unafraid of dense bullet fire or terrifying thermal weapons, rampaging across White Snake Ridge.

Zhou Yitian felt they might capture a significant amount of astonishing footage.

Bang bang bang... Chu Feng counterattacked intermittently. Large-caliber thermal weapons were wielded by him with ease, each bullet claiming the life of a Celestial Organism member.

"A divine being! This is the prototype for the Great Sage Ox Demon that I've been looking for! Record it well, quickly!" Zhou Yitian roared.

"Don't worry, Director, we haven't missed a thing! Our equipment is very advanced; we can film clearly from a long distance. It's all recorded!" someone said excitedly.

"Good, excellent!" Zhou Yitian clenched his fist firmly.

Many people saw them, their expressions odd, utterly unable to comprehend. Were these people tired of living, or were they simply madmen to begin with?!

Regardless of others' gazes, Zhou Yitian and his crew went their own way, nearly perishing several times, yet still shouting and frantically pursuing the action to film.

Moments later, the artillery fire ceased.

Because on that mountain peak, a 'minotaur' with golden horns was unleashing a massacre. After its 'palms' swung open, various muzzles were directly warped, some even shattering.

"My God, is that still a human? He's practically a demon! Did you see that? He crushed a cannon barrel as thick as a thigh with his bare hands! Unbelievable!"

"That's Ox God King's brother! They say his name is Ox Demon King, and it truly fits him! He's savage and powerful, pushing through everything in his path!"

Throughout the mountainous terrain, gasps of astonishment erupted. Even as mutants themselves, their scalps tingled, simply unable to believe that peculiar-looking individual could be so ferocious.

In the distance, the gunfire also ceased.

Because in just a moment, Celestial Organism suffered heavy losses. They hadn't even managed to graze Chu Feng, yet he had killed many of their elite sharpshooters.

This was a significant loss. Originally, thermal weapons were a deterrent, making many mutants wary and unwilling to openly contend with them for the purple-gold pine cones.

Now, with Chu Feng having eliminated over a dozen snipers in one go, how could they not feel heartbroken?

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh... Figures appeared one after another: a team of sixteen mutants belonging to the Mu family, obeying Mu's command. Each was exceptionally strong, and they jointly attacked Chu Feng.

There were sixteen mutants in total, all masters, possessing extraordinary abilities that far surpassed ordinary mutants.

Moreover, as they converged, each of them took out a thumb-sized crystal vial containing blue liquid and, without hesitation, poured it into their mouths.

Boom! A terrifying wave erupted here. The auras of the sixteen mutants surged, and their strength greatly increased.

Even from a great distance, other mutants felt a sense of trepidation, as if facing a group of behemoths.

Each of the sixteen mutants had their strength boosted tenfold. This was an incredibly terrifying outcome; now, any single one of them could easily overwhelm large groups of ordinary mutants.

With so many of them gathered, already possessing extraordinary methods, and now with a tenfold increase in combat power, they were truly a group of invincible monsters!

"Kill him! I don't care about his origins; eradicate him for good!" Mu's face was grim. A blazing fury seethed within him, suppressed.

Today, his decision had been a mistake. In an attempt to justify Lin Ye Yu's actions and impress Lin Nuoyi, he had created this situation.

His orders had led to many gruesome deaths, thermal weapons had been rendered ineffective, and Celestial Organism's prestige had suffered.

"Roar!" Suddenly, a mighty roar shook White Snake Ridge. Many mutants felt dizzy, their vision blurring, almost collapsing to the ground.

Around Chu Feng, sand flew and stones rolled, and plants shattered. With his single roar, the sixteen mutants screamed, bleeding from all seven orifices, then fell to the ground clutching their heads.

Just like last time, Mu had tried to use this tactic against him, unaware that for Chu Feng, it was akin to an offered meal, waiting to be carved.

"My God, what happened?" The mutants were stunned.

The sixteen powerhouses, after consuming the blue elixir, had unleashed terrifying and astonishing auras; each was so powerful that it made hearts tremble.

Yet now, all of them were bleeding from their mouths and noses, knocked to the ground by a single roar from the Ox God King.

Chu Feng was cold and merciless, wielding a black short sword. Without hesitation, he slaughtered them all, even those mutants from the great conglomerate Celestial Organism.

Pffft, pffft, pffft... He swung his sword repeatedly, and in an instant, over a dozen heads rolled to the ground. He had slain them all, leaving none alive.

"Ah..." In the distance, on the mountain peak, Mu's eyes turned red. Calm and collected as he usually was, he could no longer bear it, letting out a beast-like howl.

These were the mutants of his Mu family, under his direct command, controlled by his own hands. Yet in the blink of an eye, they were all annihilated.

Last time, he had already lost one team of mutants; now another had been wiped out, and so effortlessly, slaughtered by a single person in an instant.

Mu's eyes were bloodshot; he was consumed by hatred.

The elixir had a fatal flaw!

He knew now, but it was too late.

That person was ruthless and cold-blooded. Before everyone's eyes, he slaughtered all of Mu's mutants in one fell swoop, utterly merciless.

Everyone in White Snake Ridge was utterly stunned.

"Did you... did you get all that on camera?!" Zhou Yitian stammered, his lips trembling with excitement as he asked the others.

"Don't worry, Director, we've filmed everything!" someone replied. These individuals were also trembling, a mix of shock, awe, and excitement.

Nearby, other mutants looked at them, thinking they were madmen, out of their minds.

"I will kill you with my own hands!" Mu stood on the mountain, gritting his teeth. He had lost his composure, a stark contrast to his usual calm demeanor.

He sent a message, and an armed helicopter rapidly approached, landing there. He boarded it!

However, someone even faster had already arrived.

In the sky, brilliant silver light shone as a figure streaked across, carrying an unconquerable pressure, and dove towards Chu Feng.

"My God, it's the Silver-Winged God! He's coming to kill!"

"Is he going to... uphold Celestial Organism's dignity and not tolerate any offense?!"

Mid-air, that person radiated a sacred glow, his aura terrifying, like a silver sun streaking across the sky. He temporarily abandoned Vajra and charged towards Chu Feng!
