Of course, he wasn't going to let Ding Meng take advantage of him for long. A moment later, Ji Chenxue broke free from Ding Meng's grasp. It looked like he was about to step forward.
"Forget it. Let me handle this!" Ding Meng pulled her back decisively and gave her a meaningful look.
Ji Chenxue knew that Ding Meng wouldn't do something without a reason, so he slowly retreated to the side.
Ding Meng looked at Zheng Long. "Who kidnapped Old Lady Ji?"
Zheng Long didn't answer.
Ding Meng reached out with one hand and sucked the heavily injured Zheng Zhantao back to his feet. "It seems like your boss has given up on you!"
"What … what are you trying to do?" Zheng Zhantao was extremely shocked. He couldn't muster any strength in Ding Meng's hand.
Ding Meng looked at him expressionlessly. "It's very simple. I'm going to treat you the same way you treated the old lady."
After saying this, a strong light appeared in his palm. Zheng Zhantao suddenly spasmed violently. His entire body shook uncontrollably, and he couldn't even make a sound.
In less than ten seconds, Ding Meng tossed him to the side. At this moment, Zheng Zhantao was like a pile of mud on the grass. Jin Yuanquan and Zheng Long both stared at Zheng Zhantao in shock.
Zheng Zhantao had still been breathing before, but now his aura was gone. This didn't mean that he was no longer alive. His life force was still there, but his aura of Origin Energy had completely disappeared.
"You crippled him?" Zheng Long was extremely shocked.
He really couldn't tell what method Ding Meng had used. In fact, this was the Diamond Star Melting Art. He had uprooted all the origin interfaces in Zheng Zhantao's body and directly seized the Origin Energy in Zheng Zhantao's body.
Zheng Zhantao was now an ordinary person. What awaited him was merciless hunger and torture. If you want to starve someone to death, then I'll starve you to death. This was Ding Meng's principle.
Zheng Long was still in a daze. Ding Meng reached out again and sucked Zeng Ping in the distance in front of him. He used the Diamond Star Melting Art again and turned Zeng Ping into a pile of mud.
With a plop, Ding Meng let go. Zeng Ping fell to the ground and stopped breathing.
At this moment, in the eyes of Doulon and Tendu Music, Ding Meng was like the god of death that was about to descend. They also knew that they would soon be next.
Tendu Music was the oldest and had the deepest foundation. Just now, his family jewels had suffered a heavy blow, but the Origin Interfaces in his body hadn't been damaged. Therefore, he struggled to stand still and rushed toward Ding Meng again with a roar.
His movements were still very fast, but Ding Meng was faster. Ding Meng flashed in front of him and raised his hand to cut his forehead. Tendu Music's head immediately tilted, but he didn't fall because his whole body was bound by telekinesis. He was as soft as a strand of noodles hanging in the air.
Ding Meng opened his hand and a kukri knife appeared in his palm. This was the weapon that Little Arrow used when he was alive. Ding Meng directly threw it to Ji Chenxue and said, "You do it!"
Ji Chenxue stepped forward with a cold face. In the past, she rarely fought with her own hands. However, when she thought of how much her mother had suffered during her lifetime, her heart was filled with hatred. She raised her hand and slashed with the knife.
A cold light flashed and Tendu Music's head disappeared. A large amount of blood spurted out from the wound on his neck, and the grassland was immediately filled with a bloody mist.
Perhaps this wasn't the most frightening thing. What was really frightening was the expressions of Ding Meng and Ding Meng. Ding Meng remained cold and expressionless, while Ji Chenxue, who had always been gentle, had a cold expression on her face. Even though Tendu Music's blood splashed on her face, she didn't care at all.
These two people killed people as if they were mowing grass. Strictly speaking, they didn't treat them as humans at all.
Doulon, who was far away, was scared out of his wits on the spot. He immediately knelt on the ground and said, "Ji Zong, I was wrong. I was blinded by lard. I shouldn't have tried to deal with you in the first place. Please be magnanimous and spare me this time!"
Ji Chenxue was unmoved. Ding Meng slowly walked toward Doulon.
"I was wrong. I was really wrong!"
When he saw that it was Ding Meng who was approaching, Doulon actually started crying. "The necklace is with the Head of State. The Head of State just went to Planet 32 of the rainforest system. He said that the necklace can unlock the seal. Ji Zong, please spare my worthless life. I beg you …"
After hearing this explanation, Ding Meng stopped in his tracks.
Ji Chenxue's telepathic thoughts were transmitted to him. "You can consider sparing his life. He's not a bad person, but he can't stay in the sect in the future."
Ding Meng nodded and summoned a kukri knife. He threw it in front of Doulon and said, "Show me your sincerity in begging for mercy!"
Doulon was stunned. This meant that he would be spared, but what did he mean by handing him a knife?
"Get out of Beidou. I don't want to see you again!" Ji Chenxue said coldly. "If you ever see me again, you'll definitely die."
Doulon was stunned. This was going to banish him forever. However, after thinking about it, he gritted his teeth and picked up the kukri knife. He decisively backhanded the knife and cut his own shoulder blade. With a crisp crack, his entire left arm was severed at the shoulder.
The bloody severed limb fell onto the grass. It was very eye-catching. Doulon almost fainted from the pain.
Ding Meng stared at him and coldly spat out two words, "Not enough!"
Doulon's face immediately drained of blood. He knew all too well why Ding Meng was so overbearing.
For Origin Ability users, losing an arm or a leg was a small matter. This was because the medical pod could still regenerate the limb. However, if the limb had its origin, the medical pod couldn't be regenerated. It would have to be regenerated from scratch. This was worse than killing him.
Doulon's true strength was concentrated in his lower body. Ding Meng had seen this long ago.
When he saw Ding Meng's expressionless face, Doulon gritted his teeth and chopped down again.
With another crisp crack, blood splattered everywhere. The Hokuto Sōkai disciples at the gate didn't dare to look.
Ding Meng nodded in satisfaction. "You can leave now!"
Doulon couldn't walk out. He could only crawl on the ground with difficulty. Fortunately, two disciples risked their lives to drag him out.
Ding Meng turned his gaze to Zheng Long. "I asked you, but you didn't answer. It doesn't matter if I ask you or not. You're going to die anyway!"
It would be a lie to say that Zheng Long didn't feel guilty. His strength wasn't much higher than those who had fallen. He didn't even have a chance of winning against Ji Chenxue in a one-on-one fight, let alone against the powerful Ding Meng.
"You dare touch me?" Zheng Long gritted his teeth.
Ding Meng smiled. "Tell me, why wouldn't I dare?"
Zheng Long said angrily, "If you touch me, you'll be making an enemy out of Head of State Wen Yang."
Ding Meng smiled even more happily. "There's something you might not understand. Wen Yang has always been my enemy. He did all these things to avoid me. As for you, you're just a good-for-nothing who plays dirty tricks behind my back. I don't care if you dare or not. If I want you to die, you'll die!"
"That's impossible!" Zheng Long panicked.
"Of course it's impossible. You don't have the final say!" Ding Meng sneered.
Zheng Long turned his head decisively. "Old Jin!"
Jin Yuanquan didn't react. He just replied calmly, "Yeah!"
Zheng Long said, "Let's attack together!"
Jin Yuanquan said, "Okay!"
Even though he said this, he didn't move at all. Unfortunately, Zheng Long didn't know this at all. His figure flickered as he charged forward.
Zheng Long was still slightly stronger than the people in front of him. The disciples at the gate couldn't see his movement technique, but he was only "slightly stronger". He wasn't ridiculously strong. As such, Ding Meng stood there quietly until Zheng Long's palm wind surged toward him like a flood. Ding Meng stretched out his hand and flicked it lightly. A bright star immediately flew into Zheng Long's palm.
Zheng Long felt as if he had been struck by lightning. His entire body was shaken back to his original position.
When he sat up, Zheng Long felt as if his palms were being burned by thousands of soldering irons. The pain was so intense that he couldn't feel the existence of his arms at all. When he raised his hands again, he was shocked to discover that his arms were gone. His originally powerful arms had been reduced to two bare bones. His hands had been completely melted away by high-temperature Origin Energy.
Zheng Long let out a strange cry, then closed his eyes and fainted.
At this moment, there was a surge of commotion at the gate. No one dared to watch the show anymore. All the experts from the three major sects and the Fengyin Group couldn't even last one move in front of Ding Meng. No one thought that the remaining president could resist Ding Meng.
Jin Yuanquan had been watching all this coldly. He had already seen that there was really no room for negotiation.
"You can keep your composure!" Ding Meng was also observing Jin Yuanquan.
Jin Yuanquan said, "Hmph!"
Ding Meng said, "Since you've sided with Wen Yang, you must have gotten some benefits!"
Jin Yuanquan still snorted coldly and didn't answer.
Ding Meng suddenly laughed. "I can tell you responsibly that although you're stronger than these people, you have no chance against me!"
"Is that so?"
Jin Yuanquan suddenly took off his suit and tie. His whole body exuded a ruthless and sharp aura, and his whole body was wrapped in a layer of black fog.
Ji Chenxue said in surprise, "No wonder you want to monopolize the Beidou sects and groups. It turns out that you've already become a warrior of the Demons."
Jin Yuanquan revealed a sinister smile. "Do you know why I spared your life back then?"
Ji Chenxue was a little surprised. "Oh?"
Jin Yuanquan's eyes flashed with greed. "The head of state has already promised me that after he's done, I can use you as I wish!"
Ji Chenxue laughed. "Aren't you being too confident?"
Jin Yuanquan looked at Ding Meng again. "Others are afraid of you, but I'm not!"
Ding Meng said calmly, "Being afraid and dying are two different things. There's no necessary connection. Since you want to die, then bring it on!"
Jin Yuanquan's figure flashed, and his whole body turned into a layer of black fog that immediately surrounded Ding Meng. It was as if a spinning black force field was revolving around Ding Meng. This aura was so sharp that Ji Chenxue felt a faint pain on his face.
As the president of the Congregations, Ji Chenxue was well aware of Jin Yuanquan's strength. Three years ago, Jin Yuanquan was still a wargod-level origin ability user, but now, it seemed that this Demons aura was close to 400 billion points. His progress could not be said to be slow. It seemed that in the past three years, not only had Wen Yang recruited a large number of experts, but he had also transformed them into Demons.
However, Ding Meng laughed. "No matter how much energy you have, it's just an empty shell. You haven't even mastered the most basic Black Dragon Wave. What's the point of doing these deliberately mysterious things?
Is this the benefit that Wen Yang promised you?
You really have the confidence to show it in front of me? "
