Chapter 60

In the mountains, extraordinary individuals were abundant.

A small pine tree was vibrantly green, its pinecones on the branches already ripe and split open. Each pine nut was plump, with a purple-gold luster, crystal clear and translucent, as if polished from jade.

Chu Feng held a large bow and slowly approached.

No one was within ten meters of the small pine tree because two top experts were locked in a fierce battle nearby. Earlier, some had tried to forcefully seize the special fruit, but nothing changed except for adding more corpses to the ground.

Chu Feng, filled with killing intent, wanted to draw his bow and shoot down the Silver-Winged God! However, as he got closer, he changed his mind. Since the two were engaged in a decisive battle, why should he interfere? He decided to let them fight to the death. Then, he would pick up the pieces. It would be best if both of them ended up severely wounded; he would be glad to save himself effort and stay out of it.

Once he realized this, Chu Feng felt a sense of calm. He stopped, no longer in a hurry to settle scores with the Silver-Winged God, and even retreated further away. He chose a rock, sat on it, and with a calm expression, remained uninvolved.

Some extraordinary individuals felt uneasy, revealing wary expressions. This was because the Ox God King was too formidable; shooting down an airplane with a primitive bow and arrow seemed like an unbelievable fantasy, still leaving some people bewildered. It was completely incomprehensible.

There were many extraordinary individuals nearby. Those who dared to gather here all had their own intentions, coveting the purple-gold fruit. Chu Feng remained calm, waiting for Yellow Ox to appear. He believed that fellow had a sharp eye and wouldn't miss this opportunity; then they could join forces.

In the distance, the battle intensified.

The Silver-Winged God plunged headfirst from the sky, forming fist seals with both hands, smashing them towards Vajra. His silver hair flew wildly, and his eyes were as cold and sharp as lightning. Vajra’s expression was calm, yet he was incredibly fierce. He formed Vajra fist seals and blasted them directly skyward!

Boom!

Between them, a terrifying explosive roar erupted, like a clap of thunder. Nearby, thorns shattered, ancient trees snapped, and even rocks cracked. Where the two experts clashed, nothing remained intact. The enormous explosive roar was deafening. People's faces changed. What immense power was that?!

On the ground, black cracks appeared, like an earthquake, all caused by the two of them. The two’s fist winds howled, sending sand and stones flying, a terrifying sight. Not long ago, an extraordinary individual was caught in it, resulting in all their bones being broken and instant death.

The Silver-Winged God was surrounded by a sacred radiance, appearing incomparably valiant. Each of his moves was as swift and fierce as lightning. While striking with his fist seals, he also used his pair of silver wings, slashing horizontally and vertically. Silver light gleamed fiercely, and his killing intent soared.

Clang!

With a soft clang, he easily cleaved a ten-thousand-catty boulder, which exploded on the ground. His silver battle suit fluttered, appearing indestructible. However, Vajra was fearless and very calm. His skin, like topaz, glowed with a crystalline luster. His right fist seal was unmatched, allowing him to contend with the Silver-Winged God. At the same time, his left hand held a gleaming Buddhist blade that occasionally flared up with dazzling brilliance!

The two fought, constantly clashing at an incredibly fast speed, as if breaking the sound barrier. Every strike produced a thunderous roar, exceptionally terrifying.

“Let’s go for it!”

Some extraordinary individuals could no longer hold back. The two top experts were fighting more and more fiercely, moving further and further from the small tree – this was their chance! If they missed it, they would regret it for life. To many, simply plucking the fruit and swallowing it would lead to their evolution, making them the fifth extraordinary individual to stand at the top of the pyramid.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh…

Figure after figure rushed forward!

“Ah…”

Screams filled the air as extraordinary individuals killed each other. As they advanced, some fell, covered in blood, and never got up again. This was cruel; they were already attacking each other with malicious intent before even picking the pinecones. Every person’s eyes were red with killing intent, for everyone around them was a competitor.

White Snake Ridge erupted in chaos. The area's tranquility was shattered as bloodshed began, extraordinary individuals grew agitated, and finally, battle cries shook the sky, plunging everyone into a terrifying melee. Even if Vajra and the Silver-Winged God returned now, these people would not retreat. The scent of blood stimulated everyone's nerves; it was a release of primitive wildness. Faced with such temptation, many cast aside all fear, focused solely on competing for the prize. Many extraordinary individuals participated, rushing forward, disregarding life and death.

Within a hundred-meter radius, extraordinary individuals constantly fell. Some extraordinary individuals were very strong and reached near the small tree, seemingly about to succeed, but their faces suddenly turned black, and they collapsed, having been poisoned. However, others were fearless. They threw corpses and bushes onto the ground, paving a path, and continued to rush forward, vowing not to stop until they obtained the special fruit.

Booming!

Suddenly, a booming sound came from mid-air as several armed helicopters flew in, wildly strafing and unleashing terrifying firepower. In an instant, there were many casualties. The ground was splattered with blood, and corpses lay strewn. Many extraordinary individuals were terrified and quickly retreated. Even though they were powerful now, how many could truly be fearless of modern weaponry? They hadn't reached that level yet.

“Let’s fight them!”

Someone shouted, blue wings appearing on their back. They soared into the sky, attacking one of the helicopters.

Bang!

Unfortunately, snipers were secretly deployed. Under the large-caliber weaponry, a string of blood splattered from that person's forehead, and they fell headfirst to the ground. This was a deterrent! Divine Biological revealed its ferocious fangs, dealing killing blows to anyone who dared to contend for the special fruit.

Boom!

Suddenly, an armed helicopter exploded in mid-air, erupting in a huge ball of fire and disintegrating instantly with a deafening roar. People were startled. Who did that?

In the distance, several other aircraft appeared, but they were distinctly different from Divine Biological's.

“People from Bodhi Gene!” someone exclaimed.

Bodhi Gene was also a large conglomerate, similar to Divine Biological. Neither feared the other, and both were well-prepared, having brought deterrent weapons.

Hmph!

From mid-air, a cold snort came. The Silver-Winged God moved, abandoning Vajra and transforming into a silver flash of lightning, moving at extreme speed. Too fast! Many couldn't react in time before he had already reached one of Bodhi Gene's helicopters. At this moment, he spread his wings, and dazzling silver light burst forth, illuminating the area like an exploding sun, incredibly blinding.

With a snap, his silver wings swept through, severing a large armed helicopter. As he shot past, the aircraft broke into two pieces. With a thunderous crash, the helicopter smashed into the ground, erupting in terrifying flames. The explosion shook White Snake Ridge. Everyone was inexplicably shocked. That was an airplane, yet it was cut down like that. Many extraordinary individuals felt their hair stand on end, unable to believe it. Bodhi Gene had shot down an armed helicopter belonging to Divine Biological, and the Silver-Winged God immediately retaliated in kind! Covered in silver radiance, he stood in the air, radiating awe-inspiring power.

On the ground, near the small tree, Vajra arrived, leaping dozens, even hundreds of meters. Without the Silver-Winged God to hold him back, who could stop him?

Thud!

He stomped his foot heavily on the ground, causing it to crack like an earthquake. The surrounding extraordinary individuals were all struck as if by lightning, then sent flying backward. Before him, the many extraordinary individuals were like scarecrows! This was a terrifying power, almost supernatural. With one stomp, he sent a large group of extraordinary individuals on the ground flying.

Vajra reached out a hand towards the purple-gold fruit on the small tree.

Bang!

However, the ground suddenly collapsed, and he nearly fell through. Vajra quickly flipped over, leaped ten meters away, and looked back to stare. The underground had been hollowed out, and the strange small tree, along with its soil and roots, had all fallen into a large iron box. Below were people from Divine Biological, well-prepared and just waiting for the fruit to ripen; otherwise, they would have acted long ago. Of course, they also intended to set an ambush here!

Vajra’s skin glowed yellow, and he let out a low, deafening roar, like a roaring Buddha, making some of the people below dizzy and momentarily dazed. Then, Vajra leaped up and charged into the underground area. Gunshots erupted, and bullets rained down densely, strafing Vajra.

Clang, clang, clang…

At this moment, he swung his Buddhist blade, deflecting many bullets, and some even bounced back, wounding Divine Biological's forces. However, the bullets were too dense. In such a confined space, even with Vajra’s incredibly fast reactions and terrifying instinctive perception, he couldn't dodge them all. A terrifying thing happened: the bullets that struck him did indeed cause him great pain, making him stumble, but ultimately, they did not penetrate his body. Underground, the gunmen were terrified. What kind of monster was this? His skin was as hard as refined steel, unafraid of modern weapon barrages; it was too horrifying. As for the surface, many extraordinary individuals also witnessed this scene firsthand, each dumbfounded. The rumors were true: Vajra possessed an indestructible body and was unafraid of modern weaponry.

After landing, Vajra's body was agile, like a fierce lion. He charged forward, and no one could stop him anymore. Many extraordinary individuals were struck by him, their bones broken and tendons snapped, all sent flying. He grabbed the iron box. Next, like a raptor, he shot up from underground, landing on the surface. He wasn't in a hurry to break open the large iron box. He worried that intense fighting and flying bullets might damage the purple-gold pinecone.

“Vajra, you won’t get away!” The Silver-Winged God was forced to return to the fight.

Boom!

In the distance, artillery roared and planes circled. Divine Biological and Bodhi Gene were in full-scale confrontation, fiercely engaging each other. Others who saw this felt a pang of bitterness. How could they possibly compete?

Only one group was excited: Zhou Yitian and his team. Unafraid of death, they carried camera equipment and ran wildly, recording everything. The battle of extraordinary individuals and the confrontation with modern weapons made them tremble with excitement. Such a grand spectacle was, for them, god-level material.

Chu Feng’s gaze was cold and serene as he observed the battlefield; he was ready to make his move. Yellow Ox did not disappoint him, having indeed snuck over. Looking sneaky and pretending to be an ordinary extraordinary individual, it was approaching the two top experts. They shared a tacit understanding, exchanged a glance, and then made their move!

The Silver-Winged God and Vajra battled, fighting desperately and fiercely, for it was the most crucial moment, and neither wanted to give up the special fruit. Vajra, holding the iron box with one hand and fighting with the other, was clearly at a disadvantage. He suddenly threw the iron box into the air, preparing to cleave it open with one strike, regardless of whether bullets would fly and hit the pinecone.

However, at this very moment, an extraordinary individual nearby suddenly attacked, whose strength far surpassed that of others. Vajra was greatly surprised; it was too late to dodge. This person was clearly no weaker than him or the Silver-Winged God, yet had been lurking nearby. Who exactly was it? In this world, there were only four extraordinary individuals who should possess such skill. Yellow Ox positioned itself perfectly in one step, seizing the initiative and attacking decisively.

Clang, clang!

It delivered two hooves right away: one stomped on Vajra’s arm, and the other struck the back of his head, a successful sneak attack! If it had been anyone else, their body would likely have been in tatters, but Vajra merely stumbled forward, his body unharmed. One could only marvel at how terrifyingly formidable his indestructible body was! It should be noted that Yellow Ox had exerted all its strength for that stomp.

Whoosh!

Yellow Ox ignored these observations, rushed past, bit the handle of the iron box, then dropped to all fours and galloped away. Vajra was furious. He steadied himself, watched the figure disappearing in a cloud of dust, let out a long howl, and pursued relentlessly.

As for mid-air, the Silver-Winged God was also attacked. Chu Feng, coordinating with Yellow Ox, had just now used an arrow to force back the Silver-Winged God, driving him higher into the sky, and the arrowhead, bearing blood, had grazed his arm. The Silver-Winged God, wounded, saw it was Chu Feng. Silver beams of light surged in his pupils; twice wounded, and both times by the same person, his killing intent became boundless! He glanced back, saw Vajra was in pursuit, and thus felt no urgency, for he trusted Vajra’s strength. Incredibly cold, his gaze merciless, he fixed his eyes on Chu Feng.

In fact, Vajra was growing anxious, having a bitter pill to swallow. That strange extraordinary individual was too fast; it had plunged down and was almost out of White Snake Ridge. If this continued, he would surely lose the pursuit.

“Boom!”

In mid-air, the Silver-Winged God’s entire body glowed with blinding radiance, like a silver sun traversing the sky, illuminating the heavens. He unleashed powerful mysterious fluctuations and plunged towards Chu Feng.

Whiz!

Chu Feng drew his bow, his gaze cold, and released an arrow. Instantly, a deafening sound erupted, lightning flashed and thunder rumbled as the arrow streaked across the sky, flying towards the figure in the air. The Silver-Winged God’s gaze was terrifying. He quickly moved sideways, dodging the arrowhead, and at the same time, stretched out a hand to forcefully strike the iron arrow shaft. With a bang, lightning sparks scattered and exploded there. His arm was charred black, but not actually wounded. By now, the Silver-Winged God’s pupils grew even colder. Chu Feng had to admit that this person's strength was terrifying!

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh…

Chu Feng continuously drew his bow. He used his instinctive perception, no longer aiming with his eyes, but accurately estimating where the Silver-Winged God would appear. It was like when he dodged bullets, an early warning. Now, it was sensing the opponent's trajectory in advance. The Silver-Winged God was alarmed. He found he couldn't dodge the opponent's arrows, and his arm and shoulder were successively grazed. In the lightning, his skin was cut open, and blood flowed. This was incredible to him, because he was already unafraid of bullets, yet the arrows shot by the opponent were actually more terrifying than modern weapons!

“It’s the power of lightning!” His gaze grew colder and colder. He plunged forward, vowing to close the distance and slay Chu Feng there.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh…

In the sky, a dense volley of arrows covered the Silver-Winged God. He had no way to dodge them all and could only resist head-on. His opponent had awakened some kind of divine perception, which made him wary. He sustained several arrow wounds, but none were critical. His physique was too powerful; being able to resist bullets, he was naturally boundlessly terrifying. If it weren't for the truly special Great Thunderous Bow, other weapons would find it difficult to harm the Silver-Winged God.

Boom!

This time, the densely flying arrows carried even more electric arcs. Lightning flashed and thunder rumbled, a horrifying sight.

Thud!

A burst of blood erupted, and the Silver-Winged God let out a muffled groan, nearly plummeting headfirst. He realized that this arrow was different: it was a pure white bone arrow that pierced his shoulder, tearing open a large amount of flesh and severely wounding him.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh…

In the sky, arrows flew densely. At the crucial moment, Chu Feng used the Dragon Tooth Arrow to shoot down the Silver-Winged God.

“Ah…”

In the air, the Silver-Winged God roared, his voice shaking White Snake Ridge. Covered in blood, his killing intent monstrous, he stared coldly at Chu Feng, pressing forward. But this time he faced great trouble. Amidst the dense arrows, another bone arrow soared across the sky, piercing his silver wing and exploding there. Drenched in blood, a large piece of his divine silver wing was torn, he lost his balance and almost plummeted.

White Snake Ridge, which had previously been in utter chaos with battle cries shaking the sky, was now silent. Everyone was inexplicably shocked, staring in one direction.

Was that the Ox God King? He was drawing his bow to shoot down a god, severely wounding the extraordinary individual at the very top of the pyramid! Everyone was terrified, shocked beyond belief.

Standing on the mountain peak, Lin Nuoyi saw this scene. The outcome was highly impactful for her; the Silver-Winged God had actually been severely wounded!

“Ah…”

The Silver-Winged God roared loudly, circling in the sky, ready to dive down again, vowing to find an opportunity to kill that person.

“Come back!” Lin Nuoyi spoke. She worried something unexpected might happen to the Silver-Winged God, because that person’s bow and arrow were too terrifying and difficult to resist.

In the distance, the national goddess, Ding Sitong, was also watching. She was very surprised, having never expected that the so-called Ox God King could be so strong, able to intercept the Silver-Winged God. At this moment, everyone was stunned.

After a brief quiet, White Snake Ridge erupted in a clamor.
