Chapter 449: Battle Until Daybreak

The entire place fell silent.
This was especially true for the members of the feathered snake clan in the town.
The generals of the Heaven Suppressing Army were on par with the elders of the feathered snake clan on average. However, the reason why the snakeman was called a genius was naturally because he could rely on his own potential to make up for the difference in cultivation duration.
From the short exchange in front of them, it could be seen that the intruder was not an ordinary general of the Heaven Suppressing Army, but the strongest among them.
“I’ll take over,” the silver-winged woman said softly.
Her speed talent allowed her to be almost invincible.
In reality, that was indeed the case. The silver-winged clan could rely on their speed to dominate the entire abandoned world. All kinds of people would have a headache when they encountered the silver-winged clan.
If they could defeat them, they would still not be able to catch up to them. If they could not, they would be chased to their deaths. Therefore, they were not willing to provoke them easily.
A pair of silver wings spread out, and it was as if a divine bird was about to spread its wings and soar into the sky. In the next moment, when the divine light descended, one could only see a silver line flash past before it charged out as if it had teleported.
Chen Yiming narrowed his eyes under his helmet. He held the halberd in one hand and clenched his other hand into a fist. He threw a punch in the opposite direction from the silver line.
“Boom!”
It was a punch that was almost completely unexpected.
The air instantly exploded at the moment he threw a punch. It was as if a spiderweb of cracks had appeared on a piece of glass, and the aura of a space-travel distortion appeared.
In everyone’s eyes, the silver line formed by the silver-winged woman had appeared in the range of the spiderweb-like explosion and was stopped by Chen Yiming’s punch.
It turned out that it was not that the silver line had yet to arrive, but that the gazes of the others could not keep up with the speed of the silver-winged woman at all. The scene they watched involved a huge time delay.
In the next moment, Chen Yiming punched the silver-winged woman in the chest. A white light pierced through her chest and shot into the sky.
“Oof!”
As the silver-winged woman spat out a mouthful of blood. The clouds in the sky were blown apart by a violent force, creating a vacuum and emitting a thunderous sound.
Next, the silver-winged woman let out a miserable cry. A large hole had been blown out from her chest, and she was flung away like a falling fighter jet. She was still in midair, and her entire body was trembling from the remaining impact.
Blood seeped out onto her fair skin, and her silver wings exploded, causing feathers to fly everywhere. Chen Yiming had beaten up the person who was considered a silver-winged goddess in the eyes of countless people.
“What!”
The snakeman and the members of the feathered snake clan behind him fell silent.
If the first time was a coincidence, then if it happened twice in a row, it could no longer be explained as a coincidence. The snake man and the silver-winged woman took turns to fight, but they were each actually defeated in one move?
Clearly, the current situation was a little out of control. It was just a small resupplying stronghold, and there were no gods or powerful elders of the feathered snake clan stationed here. The other members of the feathered snake clan would be sending themselves to their deaths if they went up against the intruder.
The two geniuses were in danger!
The feathered snake clan fell silent, and Chen Yiming left the Heaven Suppressing Army. He dragged the halberd behind him with one hand as he approached the town.
“The Seven Stars Source Ore Workshop and the Golden Sword Source Ore Workshop are working together. Seeing that their schemes are about to be exposed, they took advantage of the thunderstorm to escape.”
Chen Yiming made up an excuse and continued, “Hand over the source ores in your hands. The Heaven Suppressing Army will consider dealing with you lightly after finding out the truth.”
His righteous voice echoed in front of the town.
The feathered snake clan and the silver-winged clan were close allies with the Seven Stars Group and had been working together for a long time.
The snakeman and the silver-winged woman were also among the geniuses from the younger generation of the two clans. They knew very well about the relationship between their clans and the factions behind the source ore shops.
After hearing Chen Yiming’s excuse, the people might really believe him and suspect that there was something wrong with the Seven Stars Source Ore Workshop and that it wasn’t a problem with the city ruler’s faction.
“Hand them over? Or refuse?”
The snakeman’s expression darkened.
Every time the general of the Heaven Suppressing Army took a step forward, his aura would increase exponentially, increasing the pressure on everyone. No tricks or excuses were needed.
What was important was the other party’s true intentions.
Was he only after the source ores that the two of them had taken away, or would he also kill all the members of the feathered snake clan in the stronghold?
“This man.”
Unlike the snakeman, the silver-winged woman could still maintain her composure and etched his aura into her heart.
She firmly believed that with her speed talent, since they were all at the level of the star condensation realm, she would at most be defeated and could still escape.
There was still a long path ahead. There was plenty of time for her to settle the score later.
Before Chen Yiming knew it, the silver-winged woman had already held a grudge against him.
“Boom!”
At this moment, Chen Yiming suddenly took the initiative to attack.
He had only been testing the waters earlier. Could the two of them take the initiative to hand over the source ores? However, as expected, he still had to rely on his fists to resolve the problem.
He did not use the space anchor to teleport. Instead, he relied on his powerful body to break through the layers of air barriers. With his current strength, such obstacles were like nothing to him.
Chen Yiming’s figure flashed and appeared in front of the snakeman. He raised his halberd and smashed it down.
“Die!”
The snakeman’s expression changed. This was probably choosing him as the first target, but he was not a complete pushover. It was impossible for him to be at the mercy of others.
The shadow of a huge creature appeared behind him. It was a three-headed feathered snake. Then, his figure disappeared and fused with it.
The three-headed feathered snake roared and opened its bloody mouths, displaying its innate ability to devour everything in its path. It wanted to swallow Chen Yiming whole.
At this moment, even the surrounding members of the feathered snake clan were shocked. This genius from their clan was actually hiding such a trump card.
It had to be known that the Heaven Devouring Earth Talent was extremely powerful. It was so powerful that it could devour an entire galaxy.
In a battle at the level of a god, this talent represented a powerful recovery ability. The power of the inner world would almost never be exhausted.
However, how could Chen Yiming’s physique, which was formed by his top physical talent, be comparable to such a talent? He didn’t care about it at all and was swallowed by the bloody mouth.
Immediately after, fist marks appeared all over the three-headed feathered snake’s body. The snakeman became like an expanding balloon, suddenly exploding like a ball of flesh and blood.
Chen Yiming’s figure appeared in the rain of blood. The aftershock of the impact spread out, causing the ground to crack open. A sandstorm formed and swept in all directions, creating a terrifying scene.
“He’s dead!”
“The genius of the feathered snake clan is dead!”
Everyone present, from the members of the feathered snake clan and the silver-winged woman, to the silent soldiers of the Heaven Suppressing Army, realized this terrible outcome after sensing the dense power of the world suddenly spreading out.
This was especially true for the soldiers of the Heaven Suppressing Army. When their general was reduced to ashes by a single palm strike, the situation was almost the same. They were both instantly crushed without any chance of putting up any resistance.
“Swish!”
The silver-winged woman was the first to come back to her senses. With a kick from her jade-like feet, her silver wings flapped and she shot away in a silver flash.
There was definitely something fishy about this general from the Heaven Suppressing Army. Even if a genius from a galactic-level faction appeared, he would not have such high combat strength.
However, at this moment, it was clearly not the time to dwell on this question. Escaping was more important.
What she didn’t notice was that Chen Yiming had left a space anchor on her and wasn’t in a hurry to chase after her.
“500,000 Skill Points,” Chen Yiming muttered in the Daxia Kingdom’s language.
At the same time that he defeated the snakeman, he also destroyed the source ore he was carrying. Fortunately, the system was able to absorb the essence energy, so there was no wastage. All the essence energy was converted into Skill Points.
He turned around and saw that the members of the feathered snake clan had all fallen to the ground in fear.
Even ordinary gods at the jade star realm could not crush the genius of the feathered snake clan. How could the members of the feathered snake clan escape from such a terrifying existence?
In other words, the outcome would be the same whether they tried to escape or not.
…
10 minutes later, the silver-winged woman had fled more than 100,000 kilometers away.
She did not move at her maximum speed the entire time. Instead, after escaping more than 1,000 kilometers away, she changed to a slower speed that allowed her to move silently. Furthermore, she kept changing directions and moving forward. This speed was less than 10% of her maximum speed.
In a forest shrouded in thick mist, the silver-winged woman leaned against a huge tree and forcefully calmed her pounding heart.
From time to time, strange birds chirped in the sky. Behind the thick fog, there was a hidden killing intent. Multiple gazes were secretly watching this unfamiliar intruder.
This was a dangerous place. The thick fog came from a spatial rift. It could be said that a wrong step might lead to terrible danger.
However, at this moment, the silver-winged woman could not care less. A dangerous place was the best place to hide.
“Damn it! Ever since people like Gao Shuai who are involved in the fight for the true dragon’s corpse appeared in the south mountain range, someone with the twin pupils bloodline and the strange general from the Heaven Suppressing Army also appeared out of nowhere.”
The silver-winged woman took a deep breath and recounted the various incidents that had happened in the south mountain range during this short period of time.
At the same time, she secretly hated herself for being only a small genius. The difference between her and a true genius was obvious. For example, not long ago, she had been defeated in one move and ended up fleeing in panic.
This was similar to the situation when she faced the person with the twin pupils bloodline at the city ruler’s banquet. She was equally powerless then.
“The only good news is that Gao Shuai is on the side of the source ore shops. Elder Huang and the others should be able to reach the floating canyon successfully.”
Thinking of this, the silver-winged woman heaved a sigh of relief.
If there were people with stronger abilities who took on the responsibility of escorting the team from the source ore shops, she would naturally not try to outdo them. However, she had originally wanted to use this opportunity to train herself, but now, it seemed to be going badly.
If she was not lucky, she would end up like the snakeman.
“Uh… why did I forget to throw out the source ores I have with me?”
Suddenly, the silver-winged woman thought of this and was extremely frustrated.
It was too late to discard them now. She could only pray that the traces left behind along the way were not enough for the strange general of the Heaven Suppressing Army to track her down.
However, what she was afraid of came true.
A faint spatial fluctuation appeared, and Chen Yiming’s figure appeared in front of the silver-winged woman.
“You ran quite far. I almost lost you.”
Chen Yiming smiled.
This voice made the silver-winged woman’s body tense up, and her eyes turned red.
She did not expect the second time they met to be like this. She could not escape even with her speed talent. She was doomed, and the death of the snakeman was still fresh in her mind.
“These are all the source ores I have on me.”
On second thought, the silver-winged woman grabbed onto the source ores in her pocket as if they were life-saving equipment. She was afraid that the ferocious person in front of her would kill her to silence her.
Chen Yiming nodded and thought to himself, “I’m not a murderer. It would have been good for both of us if you had handed it over earlier. We might even have a chance to work together.”
The silver-winged clan relied on speed to establish themselves. It would naturally be best if they could work together, and it was not impossible for them to become friends.
After all, Chen Yiming couldn’t trust Gao Shuai completely. Just like the female spirit in the ring, he might be tricked at any moment.
At this moment, the source ores were revealed and many people were secretly watching.
The silver-winged woman’s heart was in her mouth. Seeing that Chen Yiming had no intention of killing her to silence her, she heaved a sigh of relief and rejoiced in her good luck.
However, at the critical moment, before Chen Yiming could take the source ore from the silver-winged woman, a black light shot over, aiming straight for it.
“Boom!”
A large vacuum was created in this dangerous place that was covered in thick fog.
How could Chen Yiming tolerate the source ores being snatched from him? His punch had pierced through the black light and a large patch of fog. No one had even seen clearly what the black light was.
“Tap, tap, tap…”
The silver-winged woman was shocked and the source ores in her hand fell to the ground.
This was a dangerous place! A large number of spatial rifts were present, which meant that they could easily be swept into the space-travel distortion. Making such big moves was simply courting death.
Chen Yiming couldn’t be bothered to look at the dumbfounded silver-winged woman. With a thought, all the source ores flew into his hand and he put them away.
With the silver-winged woman by his side, he did not directly break open the source ores and let the system absorb the essence energy inside. This was to hide his secret as much as possible.
After obtaining the source ores, he wanted to turn around and leave, but he accidentally caught a glimpse of her fair legs and the silver wings of the silver-winged woman.
“Last time, Gao Shuai said that he would bring me along to see the winged elves. I wonder if they are more stunning than this silver-winged woman?”
The winged elves were only putting on a performance. No matter how much he looked like elves, they were still half-human. As for the silver-winged woman, she was a genius of the silver-winged clan. In reality, there was no comparison. The difference was like that between heaven and earth.
“This is bad.”
Seeing this, the silver-winged woman took a small step with one of her jade-like feet, causing her legs to close up. It was naturally not possible for her not to sense such an invasive gaze. In reality, she was only too familiar with it.
She was the goddess among many geniuses. There had even been a true genius who had come to the silver-winged clan to get to know her.
Little did she know that this action had aroused the man’s desire to conquer her.
Chen Yiming automatically recalled the countless gazes on the silver-winged woman when she appeared at the city ruler’s banquet.
“You can only fantasize about the goddess you can’t get. Next time, if she appears in my arms…”
The imagery was too beautiful. The time and place were all right. What was there for him to hesitate about?
Chen Yiming’s heart was pounding uncontrollably. He didn’t care about finding a deserted place and letting the system convert the essence energy into Skill Points first.
He reached out to grab the silver-winged woman’s hand and pulled on it, accompanied by a cry of surprise…
…
The news that the snakeman and a stronghold of the feathered snake clan had been destroyed by the Heaven Suppressing Army spread like wildfire.
At the same time, Chen Yiming was laying with the silver-winged woman in a man-made cave all the way until dawn broke. He couldn’t bear to let go of her silver wings.
This was a sensation that he could not get from human women on the blue planet.
