Seeing that things were getting out of hand, Zhu Lang could no longer sit still. He stood up and walked over to Ding Meng. He cautiously reminded him, "Senior, this is General Xie Feixi, a famous general of the Federation."
Why did this name sound so familiar?
Ding Meng frowned. "What's his relationship with Xie Feili?"
Zhu Lang didn't expect Ding Meng to know Xie Feili. "He's Senior Xie's senior. He has a very high reputation in the Federation."
The conversation between the two couldn't escape the ears of the crowd. Xie Feixi said proudly, "I advise you to behave yourself. Take the initiative to reveal your identity and allow yourself to be inspected. Don't think that you can do whatever you want just because you have some ability."
Ding Meng glanced at him. "I won't argue with you for Xie Feili's sake. But if you insist on spouting nonsense, I can shut you up at any time."
Xie Feixi was furious. "You dare speak to me like that?"
Ding Meng said, "I'm giving you face by talking to you. I don't usually like to talk with my mouth."
Another old man in a black robe sneered. "You don't like to talk with your mouth?
What?
Do you like to talk with your mouth? "
The crowd burst into laughter. Ding Meng's expression darkened. He didn't expect that the new president's cabinet members would be of such quality.
Ding Meng stared at the old man in black and asked, "And who are you?"
The old man in black also had a proud expression. "I'm afraid you don't have the right to know!"
Ding Meng was expressionless. "That's fine too!
It doesn't matter whether I know or not! "
The atmosphere suddenly fell silent, and a chill spread through the air. Although Ding Meng didn't use any Origin Energy, everyone could feel a strong killing intent. This was definitely coming from Ding Meng.
The old man in black looked at Ding Meng with contempt. "What?
You want to attack me? "
"You're wrong!"
Ding Meng locked his gaze on him like a knife. "Even if God himself were here today, you'd still have to die. I don't kill nameless people, but since you don't want to talk about it, then don't blame me!"
"Ha!" The black-clothed old man raised his head and laughed. "Are you angry?
Bring it on! Show me what you're made of! "
"You're courting death!"
Ding Meng had already activated the first three Origin Points, and a powerful aura was released. Just the activation of these three Origin Points was not something an ordinary warrior could withstand. Many people from the Apocalypse Group felt their vision go dark, and they fell backwards. These Battle Sage level Origin Ability users were unable to withstand such a terrifying aura.
"Swish —"
Ding Meng immediately disappeared from the chair.
In the eyes of the few experts from the Federation, not only was Ding Meng's body covered in white flames, but he had also turned into a light form.
It was still the standard Ding Style Hand Blade, but it was no longer the "Carp Leaping Over the Dragon Gate". It was completely a light beam, so fast that it caught everyone off guard.
The old man in black was originally very disdainful, but now he was truly shocked. He quickly raised his hand to block it.
He was not the only one who blocked it. Xie Feixi and the other two old men beside him raised their hands at the same time. A seven-colored shield-shaped layer was erected in front of the four of them. The layer was not thick, but runes flowed and patterns appeared. It was as dazzling as a formation. It was clearly a very powerful defensive technique.
Ding Meng immediately sensed the uniqueness of this four-man defensive formation. The layer seemed to be cast from the essence of the hard system. It did not clash with force in the traditional sense. Instead, it invisibly produced a distorted suction force, just like a vortex. Ding Meng had a premonition that the energy and strength of this attack would be greatly weakened. It was like punching a sponge.
These old monsters from the Holy Grail Federation were indeed very powerful. They had at least three to four hundred years of hard work behind them.
But so what?
They were just peak wargods who had yet to break through. Fighting against interstellar warriors was simply courting death!
Ding Meng raised his other hand and formed the shape of a hand blade. Origin flames spurted out from his fingertips. Not only did the hand blade lengthen, but its aura also increased by ten times.
The other party immediately sensed this fluctuation. Xie Feixi shouted, "General Lu, be careful!"
Lu Xiaobing was not weak either. She quickly dodged to the side.
Ding Meng's left hand blade slashed horizontally at the shield. The layer of plating shattered with a "ding ling" sound. Then, the blade in his right hand slashed at the old man's head.
This slash was so fast that the old man in black did not even have time to activate his shield. His forehead was hit on the spot. His entire body was smashed to the ground and rolled backward. Everywhere he passed, the steel plates of the steel bridge were lifted up. They flew into the air with white flames and scattered. The cliff was lit up again.
Although the old man in black was severely injured, he was very experienced in battle. He half-knelt on the ground and propped up a light blue spherical shield. The surface of the shield was still crackling with electricity.
When he stood up shakily, he did not see Ding Meng. Instead, he heard Xie Feixi's exclamation. "Old Saber, be careful!"
However, it was too late. A gust of wind blew in front of him. There seemed to be a shadow floating in the wind. Its speed was extremely fast, and this shadow was Ding Meng's real body.
There was another "ping" sound. Ding Meng's Merciless Iron Hand passed through the shield and accurately grabbed the old man's neck. The shield could not stop Ding Meng, nor could it cause any damage to Ding Meng.
"You!
How is this possible? "
The old man in black was extremely shocked. He still wanted to say something, but a large amount of energy suddenly poured into his throat. He realized that all the origin points in his body had been sealed. Breathing became difficult, and even his vision became blurry.
"What are you doing?
Stop! "Xie Feixi roared.
In fact, only he knew that this seemingly angry roar was far less terrifying than the fear in his heart.
His opponent had broken the shield with a single palm strike, then sent Old Saber flying with a single palm strike. Now, he had directly lifted Old Saber up. It looked like he was ready to crush Old Saber to death.
Previously, if someone had said that they could crush Old Saber with one hand, he would have thought that this person was crazy. Now, he did not dare to think this way. This was because this was really possible, and the possibility was very high.
"Stop!"
The old man in the suit next to Xie Feixi also shouted angrily. "How dare you lay your hands on the Federation's three-star general, Old Saber. Aren't you afraid of being hunted down by the higher-ups of the military?
Hurry up and put him down, do you hear me? "
Ding Meng turned his head and stared at him. "Are you threatening me?"
This look was even more terrifying than a direct attack. Xie Feixi and the others all saw this pair of deep and lifeless eyes. Only an expert who had killed people like scything flax could have such a sharp gaze.
"If you dare lay your hands on Old Saber, you will definitely be hunted down by the Combined Fleet and even the entire Federal Empire!
Hurry up and put him down! "Another person roared crazily.
Ding Meng was most annoyed by these people. He sneered and said, "And who are you?"
The man quickly replied, "I am the highest-ranking executive officer of the Holy Grail Federation's MI3. I order you to put him down, immediately!
Hurry up — "
Ding Meng suddenly slashed out with his right hand. This hand chop hit the old man in black's right temple. However, the huge force and energy caused the left temple to explode with a bang. Thick black blood spurted out from the inside like a sharp arrow.
The old man in black's head hung limply. Looking at his injuries, even if he could be saved, he would be in a vegetative state.
Ding Meng threw the old man onto the bridge and stared at the crowd coldly.
At this moment, the entire manor was dead silent. Everyone spontaneously stepped back. The fear in their hearts was far greater than the shock. Not only was the other party ridiculously strong, but he also dared to kill.
Perhaps only Zhang Feng, Zhu Lang, and Gu Cheng were secretly rejoicing. This senior even dared to kill the top officials and dignitaries of the Federation. What did he not dare to do?
Ding Meng said calmly, "Who was the one who ordered me to let him go just now?
I didn't hear you clearly. Please repeat yourself! "
The crowd was still dead silent. If they dared to respond at a time like this, it would be purely because they were tired of living.
Seeing that the crowd was silent, Ding Meng laughed disdainfully. "You bunch of arrogant trash. You haven't even reached the level of interstellar martial artists, yet you dare to put on airs in front of me. You're simply ignorant!"
Perhaps for most of the people present, this was the first time they had heard of the concept of interstellar martial artists. Of course, even the stupidest person should know that interstellar martial artists were far stronger than wargod level origin ability users. Ding Meng himself was probably a strong person who was even stronger than interstellar martial artists.
Seeing Ding Meng slowly walk toward the bridge, Xie Feixi suddenly became nervous. He didn't dare to raise his hands up or put them down. This gesture fully exposed his state of mind: he was completely afraid!
There was absolutely no way he could win. He was very clear on this point. The higher one's strength was, the easier it was to see the difference between oneself and others. However, he didn't dare to admit defeat. He couldn't just let himself be killed, right?
"Protect General Lu!" Xie Feixi decisively ordered.
A group of people once again gathered around Lu Xiaobing.
Lu Xiaobing had long been shocked to the extreme by the opponent's strength. She was forcing herself to remain calm.
Ding Meng glanced at Xie Feixi. "Where's that arrogance of yours just now?
Where did it go now? "
Xie Feixi swallowed hard. "At worst, we'll fight it out with you. I don't believe it!"
Ding Meng laughed. "If you say something like that again, your heart has already collapsed. You're not worth my time at all. I really don't know how the president's cabinet was chosen this time. You people want to open the forbidden area of the Demons? You think you're worthy?"
Even though Xie Feixi had lived for a long time, he couldn't help but blush. Although he was shouting "fight it out", he was obviously scared. Only the weak would shout such a slogan. The real strong always spoke with their strength.
Ding Meng suddenly waved his hand. Someone in the crowd automatically flew up and floated towards the steel bridge. He was fixed in the air and couldn't move.
It was a young officer. He was also the one who had shouted at Ding Meng to let him go. At this moment, he no longer had any official airs. He stared at the opponent in horror.
Ding Meng looked at him coldly. "I heard that you can order the Combined Fleet and even the entire Federal Empire to hunt me down. Show me."
How could the officer dare to reply?
Lu Xiaobing couldn't stand it anymore. She braced herself and said, "Enough. You've already killed so many people. What else do you want?"
Ding Meng glanced at her sharply. "The more you talk, the more miserable his death will be. I'm asking you if you believe it. If you dare to say no, he'll die immediately!"
Lu Xiaobing's heart trembled. She didn't dare to say another word. The other party's aura was even more tyrannical than hers.
Zhang Feng, Gu Cheng, and the others stared blankly. Damn, he could make the vice president of the Federation retreat with just one sentence. That was really f * cking awesome!
