As expected, Ding Meng's rhetorical question angered the crowd. Although the goddess was still expressionless, everyone could feel that there was a hint of anger between her brows.
Speaking of which, it was strange. Under normal circumstances, even if a beautiful woman was expressionless, the men around her would always be able to sense the change in her mood and try to curry favor with her.
The Bald Head said decisively, "This person is definitely not Zhong Yu from Gauss. Zhong Yu does not have the ability to kill Longquan and Long Yan from Chuang Yu. General Lu, please uphold justice for the sake of the Combined Fleet."
General Lu?
Ding Meng suddenly realized who this woman was. She was Lu Xiaobing, the daughter of Lu Ting, and also the current acting Vice President of the Holy Grail Federation. She was known as the second most beautiful woman in the Federation and was known as the "Goddess of a Thousand Faces". No wonder there was such a big scene.
Lu Xiaobing's face was dark as water. "I don't care who you are. Since you are here, you should understand that the Federal Empire is currently in a cooperative situation. The people of Apocalypse and Chuang Yu are also members of our Combined Fleet. Since you killed people in the Wacao System for no reason, you should be bound by the rules of the fleet. It is best that you voluntarily reveal your identity and cooperate with the investigation. Otherwise …"
Ding Meng immediately interrupted her. "Otherwise, we will solve the problem by force, right?"
Lu Xiaobing's face had a hint of anger this time. "If you still have doubts about my words, then perhaps we will use the method you are most unwilling to accept to deal with you."
Ding Meng's face also darkened. "Deal with me?"
The Bald Head began to clamor again. "Does the Vice President of the Federation have no right to deal with you?"
Ding Meng suddenly smiled again. Zhang Feng, Gu Cheng, and Zhu Lang were most afraid of Ding Meng's strange smile. Every time he smiled, something bad would happen.
Lu Xiaobing said, "What are you laughing at?
What's so funny about that? "
Ding Meng said meaningfully, "You are only the acting president. You have not become the official president yet. Moreover, the person you should thank the most is me. If it were not for me, the Star Rainbow Group would not have let you go, and you would not have become the president."
Lu Xiaobing didn't say anything this time. It was obvious that she was trying to guess Ding Meng's true identity.
At this time, the five burly men who had climbed down the cliff climbed back onto the steel bridge and came to the Bald Head's side. They exchanged glances and secretly nodded. It seemed that Longquan's spirit had been caught.
The bald man gently waved his hand in front of him. Immediately, three strong men stepped out from the ranks and stared at Ding Meng like tigers eyeing their prey.
Ding Meng smiled again. "Vice President Lu, I want to ask you a question. Since when did the great Holy Grail Federation collude with the warriors of the Demons?"
This question actually had a deeper meaning. The former president, Bai Xingfei, was a warrior of the Divine Light. With Bai Xingfei's position and character, it was impossible for him to collude with the Demons. However, now that the higher-ups of the Federation and the Empire were working together, there was no doubt that they were colluding with the Demons. Ding Meng didn't agree with this point. He mainly admired President Bai Xingfei's magnanimity. Moreover, at the Temple, Bai Xingfei's death was too unjust. As a legitimate warrior of the Divine Light, he had to stand up and uphold justice.
However, Lu Xiaobing didn't listen to his opinion at all. She replied coldly, "You don't have the right to ask me questions."
Ding Meng nodded. "So you're letting these three good-for-nothings deal with me?"
The Bald Head decisively ordered, "Kill!"
The three burly men flashed and surrounded Ding Meng almost instantly. Three pairs of palms struck at Ding Meng's head, chest, and back. Because the courtyard was small, everyone controlled their strength precisely. The three pairs of palms looked like six light knives in the night sky. No one doubted their sharpness.
However, from the beginning until now, Ding Meng had been sitting firmly in the commander's chair. The three pairs of palms had clearly hit him, but he was unharmed. Upon closer inspection, one would realize that the palms of the three men had frozen in the air less than two inches away from Ding Meng's body. It was as if there was an invisible barrier around Ding Meng's body, firmly stopping their attacks.
After their first attack failed, the three men immediately retreated. Another person from Chuang Yu's team flew out. This time, five burly men attacked in mid-air at the same time. Five ferocious-looking Black Dragons swam directly toward Ding Meng. However, they looked more like a terrifying curtain of Demons trying to wrap Ding Meng up. Their momentum was quite shocking. A strong wind blew across the entire cliff.
This wasn't just wind in the ordinary sense. It was infused with Demon Energy. It made one's heart palpitate and feel very uncomfortable.
"Black Dragon Wave?"
Ding Meng's expression changed slightly. Ever since Wen Yang and An Ugly Woman entered the temple, the Demons' power had indeed increased greatly. It was usually difficult to see even one Demon Warrior, but today, five had appeared at once.
At this moment, it was unrealistic for Ding Meng to sit still. He leaped into the air with Pulling Onions from the Dry Land, and the five black dragons missed their target. However, the five dragons instantly merged into one huge dragon and bit down from the top.
"Bang!"
Ding Meng opened one of his palms and allowed the Black Dragon to enter his body.
In the past, he wouldn't have dared to do this. Demon Energy had the miraculous effect of freezing the origin. However, now that he had Ai Ji's techniques and the Astral Ocean Codex, absorbing this little bit of Demon Energy was child's play.
However, when Ding Meng inhaled, the three burly men who had retreated suddenly descended from the sky. The three of them still surrounded him. First, three huge Walls of Holy Brilliance formed a triangular pillar to trap Ding Meng. At the same time, sixteen Blazing Sun Battle Tattoos, flashing a pale yellow light, pierced in from all directions.
"Boom!" There was a loud explosion. A mass of colorful light in the sky exploded violently, like a circle of beautiful ripples spreading in the night sky. It gave people the impression that the Blazing Sun Battle Tattoos had ignited the Black Dragon Wave. If one was caught in this kind of explosion, they would be seriously injured even if they didn't die.
Sure enough, after the circle of light dispersed, Ding Meng disappeared.
The Bald Head sneered. "You can't even withstand a single blow!"
Lu Xiaobing's expression also eased a little. The Bald Head walked over and said respectfully, "Thank you, General Lu, for upholding justice!"
It was clearly Chuang Yu's people who had attacked, but he still wanted to thank Lu Xiaobing. His flattery was too obvious. Many people in Apocalypse immediately regretted their actions. Why didn't they attack earlier?
They could have left a good impression in front of their goddess.
This was a common problem for men. If they managed to get a woman like Lu Xiaobing, they would have everything. Fame, wealth, and beauty.
"Don't you think you're thanking me a little too early?" Ding Meng's lazy voice rang out.
Everyone was shocked. Only then did they realize that Ding Meng had returned to the commander's chair. He wasn't injured, and there weren't any marks on his clothes.
"Your aura clearly disappeared!"
The Bald Head wanted to say this, but he realized that Ding Meng hadn't emitted any aura from him since the beginning. Now, there was still no aura. There was only one possibility. Ding Meng's strength had exceeded the upper limit of his understanding.
Ding Meng sat in his chair. "Chuangyu has some foundation. What's your name?"
The Bald Head's eyes flashed fiercely. He said fiercely, "Kneel down and beg me, and I'll tell you!"
Ding Meng laughed. "Do you think I'm interested in you?
Let me tell you, I asked casually because I think these good-for-nothings have some skill in teamwork. "
This was the truth. These people from Chuangyu were obviously experienced in teamwork. Their teamwork was even better than the well-trained martial artists in the military. It made sense that Chuangyu had been able to cultivate experts like Guan Wuming and the others in recent years. To be precise, these people were all "members of the Long family"!
The Bald Head gestured again, and the eight burly men surrounded Ding Meng again.
Ding Meng sneered and said, "I was being polite to you. You're really pushing your luck!"
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone saw that Ding Meng suddenly flashed and appeared in front of one of the burly men. Moreover, everyone could see Ding Meng's movements with their naked eyes. It was obvious that Ding Meng's speed wasn't fast, but the burly man couldn't stop him.
Ding Meng's hand chopped down on the burly man's neck, and the man fell down like a pile of mud.
"Pa, pa, pa, pa, pa …"
This sound sounded like firecrackers. The eight burly men all fell to the ground halfway. From the beginning to the end, Ding Meng had only used this move. Everyone saw it clearly, but no one was able to withstand it. Now, the eight burly men on the ground were like eight gunny sacks, falling heavily to the ground.
Tan Long was still sitting on the ground silently. Originally, many people behind him were still unconvinced, but when they saw this scene, they all kept quiet out of fear. Eight warlord level experts were defeated by such a primitive move. It didn't look like he was chopping people at all. It looked like he was chopping firewood.
The people from Apocalypse couldn't help but admire Tan Long. Fortunately, Director Tan was experienced and calm. Otherwise, they would be the ones on the ground now.
When Ding Meng made his move, the Bald Head was also stunned. This didn't make any sense. When did warlord level experts become so weak that they couldn't even fight back?
Lu Xiaobing raised her eyebrows and shouted, "Stop! It's fine if you killed people before, but now you think the situation isn't serious enough? Do you want to continue hurting people?"
Hearing this, Ding Meng was too lazy to explain. He pulled back with one hand, and the five burly men who had used the Black Dragon Wave were immediately pulled up into the air.
Ding Meng's other hand silently pushed out from under his ribs. A pure white and bright energy flow surged out, like the brilliant Milky Way in the night sky. Wherever the Milky Way passed, the darkness and haze would be dispelled.
One could clearly see that the bodies of the five Demon Race martial artists were immediately washed away, revealing their skeletons. These skeletons were quickly burned to ashes, leaving behind only human-shaped spirit bodies. These spirit bodies were clearly desperately struggling, but it was of no use as they were directly washed away by the torrent of water.
This scene shocked everyone present. Most people were stunned. So this was what it meant to have one's soul destroyed.
Ding Meng withdrew his hand and said expressionlessly, "They wanted to kill me, so you just shut up and watched. Now I've only injured a few people, and you jumped out and shouted. How did you become the Vice President?"
This was the reason why he was dissatisfied. Are you on the side of the Holy Grail Federation?
Or are you on the side of the Demons?
"How dare you!"
An old man with a white beard next to Lu Xiaobing glared and said, "You don't have the right to judge General Lu's actions."
Ding Meng smiled. "It seems that there are still many people who aren't afraid of death today!"
As soon as these words came out, even a person like Tan Long who was able to keep his cool couldn't help but reveal a look of surprise. It's fine if you killed a few of the Creative Universe Corporation's servants, but don't tell me you dare to make a move on a high-ranking official of the Federation?
The old man with the white beard was so angry that he laughed. "Do you know who I am?"
