The rain of flowers in the sky, the romantic void, the sacred stairs of light, and the peerless experts. All of these indicated that everything in front of him was the peak of the universe. This was the place with the highest power and force in the world. Therefore, no matter what choice or decision one made here, it was supreme and could not be changed.
Ming Yan was still looking at Ding Meng. Her tone became gentle. "Do you want to see my true face?"
Ding Meng replied decisively, "No!"
Ming Yan was a little surprised. "Why?"
Ding Meng gritted his teeth and said, "Because I want to be a human, not a dog!"
Ming Yan nodded slightly. "Everyone else wants to see my true face, but you're the only one who refuses so firmly. Others can't see it even if they want to, but since you don't want to, I want you to see it …"
After she finished speaking, she raised her hand and gently took off the veil on her head. At this moment.
Ding Meng's breathing almost stopped.
He was unable to describe what kind of peerless appearance this was. Her facial features were so exquisite that it seemed as if they had been meticulously sculpted by countless master artisans throughout their lifetime. She had bright eyes, white teeth, a supple complexion, and not the slightest flaw could be found on every inch of her skin. She was like a goddess that had walked out from a dream, causing one to simply not dare believe that a person could actually be beautiful to such an extent …
Strictly speaking, she had already surpassed the category of "beauty". This was because in Ding Meng's eyes, she was the comprehensive incarnation of many people. Ji Chenxue, Ling Xingqi, Lu Xiaobing, Nanxun, Lan Bing, Dai Yi, Lu Qing … She would immediately transform into the appearance of whoever you thought of in your mind. They were exactly the same, not the slightest bit different. She might even be better than them.
She stood in front of him, like an orchid quietly blooming in an empty valley. She was aloof, aloof, and otherworldly. If she was not a goddess who was like a fairy, then who was?
If she was not the most beautiful woman in the universe, then who was worthy?
Such a face was enough to make it hard for anyone to shift their gaze away. It was enough to make all ambitious people go crazy. It was no wonder that supreme experts like Ling Tian Jun and Demon Lord Xie Yu were so infatuated with her.
If one were to say that her appearance was shocking, then Queen Ming Yan was just a fake person. But at this moment, she leaned forward and smiled at Ding Meng. This smile was truly lively, charming, and charming. It was like a mountain full of blooming flowers, like a spring breeze brushing the earth, like the sun dispersing the clouds, and like the holiness of all the beauty in the world.
Perhaps this wasn't enough to shake Ding Meng's mind. What truly made Ding Meng dumbstruck was that in the center of Ming Yan's forehead, there was also a golden butterfly imprint flickering with light. Whether or not it was the imprint of a monarch wasn't important. What was important was that Ding Meng suddenly realized that this peerlessly beautiful monarch of the Night Luan Country was also a person chosen by the heavens.
Because of the divine light necklace that Ji Chenxue had left on his chest, he had a strange feeling in an instant. He and Ming Yan were actually of the same origin. She was definitely a person chosen by the heavens. There was no mistaking it.
This feeling was just like every time he saw Little Rascal Xiao 'ai, Ji Chenxue, Ling Xingqi, Ding Wenhe, and Big Brother Haoran. He felt a sense of belonging, as if they were related by blood and flesh.
It turned out that Ming Yan had never let anyone see her true face because she was a person chosen by the heavens. This secret was too shocking. Ding Meng was so shocked that even his brain felt a little dizzy.
At this time, Ming Yan reached out a slender, jade-like hand to him. She said emotionally and solemnly, "I, Ming Yan, swear in the name of the ruler of the Night Luan Empire that I want you, Mr. Ding Meng, to be my husband. Together, we will receive the Holy Butterfly and unify this universe. I promise that I will never betray my husband. I am willing to help my husband become a peerless powerhouse. Ding Meng, are you willing?"
Ding Meng suddenly fell silent. From his expression, one could tell that he was in a state of great hesitation.
Before entering the holy palace, he had thought of all the possible endings, but he never thought that Ming Yan would be another person chosen by the heavens.
If he stretched out his hand now, he would have everything. The supreme operating law of the universe, unparalleled martial arts cultivation, authority that could overturn the world, a peerless wife, and countless experts who would submit to him. He would be the undisputed number one person in the universe.
This kind of temptation was difficult for anyone to resist, regardless of gender or age. This was the dream that all warriors yearned for. Now, it was within his reach.
Looking at Ding Meng's absent-minded expression, Ming Yan smiled again and said emotionally, "Husband, get up. Hold my hand, and we will walk into the future together. Ming Yan will always be by your side."
Ding Meng was now like Xie Yu. He stood up shakily and nodded like an idiot. At the same time, he reached out to Ming Yan and said, "Okay!"
Ming Yan's mouth flashed with an imperceptible smugness. She knew how to deal with men too well. Even Lingtian King, a powerhouse with a heart of steel, had submitted to her, let alone Ding Meng, who had only been tempered for a few decades.
However, at this moment, Ding Meng's outstretched palm suddenly turned into a bright hand knife. At such a close distance, the sudden flash of killing intent caught people off guard. Looking up again, Ding Meng's eyes did not have the slightest hint of confusion. There was only the usual determination and brilliance. He did not speak, because his eyes had already represented his roar. "Go forward bravely, never back down!"
This was the spirit that Hero's Knife had always given him. He had never forgotten it, and at this last moment, he used his most iconic and classic Ding Style Hand Knife.
Because this was the martial technique he was most proud of, and also the move he was most familiar with. This represented confidence, represented bravery. Even though he knew that he might not be a match for the other party, he still had to charge forward bravely without hesitation.
In fact, Ding Meng himself also knew that fighting Ming Yan would not be like fighting Xie Yu. He could still fight back and forth and turn the world upside down. Facing such a powerhouse, he only had one chance. It could even be said that he only had a tiny chance. Once he lost it, he would be doomed eternally.
Therefore, when he used this knife, it was the strongest knife in the truest sense. It was the true meaning of "Carp Leaping Over Dragon Gate, Backhand Knife", and it was also the only chance.
Time seemed to stop at this moment. Ding Meng's arm in the air not only turned into a light knife, but his entire body also turned into a strange, pure white and bright light knife. That was the form of Hero's Knife, which represented his will and spirit along the way.
"What fortune is there in gathering? What sorrow is there in parting? What joy is there in life? What bitterness is there in death?"
The man was the knife, and the knife was the man. It was either you die, or I die!
There were three thousand ways to the Great Dao. Choose one to follow. Sacrifice one's life for righteousness. Seek benevolence and obtain benevolence!
The speed of the light knife was indescribable. Ding Meng grasped the best opportunity at the most correct time. His hand knife hit Ming Yan's forehead in the blink of an eye.
"Boom!" With an earth-shattering bang, the curtain of flower rain around the light stage was shattered into pieces. Countless flower rain splashed in all directions and fluttered down. This was the real flower rain that filled the sky. The final battle was not only wonderful, but also romantic.
Ming Yan still maintained her moving posture of smiling and reaching out with her hand. The next moment, her figure slowly dimmed and gradually disappeared like a shadow. Finally, with a "bang", she exploded into countless flower petals.
Only then did Ding Meng return to his original form from the form of the light knife. He had used all his strength in this attack. There was no extra energy in his body that could be used. The origin of the galaxy had been extinguished.
"Plop!" Ding Meng knelt on the ground. He was too weak. He had never been so weak before. Fortunately, he had defeated the strong enemy. Everything was finally over.
The flower petals were still falling from the sky. The exquisite flower petals were like elegant and graceful butterflies. They danced up and down around him, as if comforting his lonely soul. He stared at the light stage in a daze. His mind drifted to a distant time and space. They had agreed to go out together, but in the end, he was still the only one left …
He thought of Little Four, Mr. Yu, Ji Chenxue and Ling Xingqi. He thought of many of his friends. They had all left him. They were no longer in the same time and space as him. This feeling of loneliness was indescribable …
Suddenly, Ding Meng raised his head. There was a trace of fear in his eyes.
Because these butterflies did not dissipate for a moment, they gradually gathered in front of him. A familiar and powerful aura appeared again. The butterflies merged and transformed. Queen Ming Yan, who had disappeared, once again turned from nothingness into a real person.
"You didn't expect this, did you?"
The real person spoke with a smile. "I've created a surprise for you. I'll let you experience the taste of victory."
Ding Meng stared at the real person in shock. He did not know what kind of high-level secret manual this was. He only knew that Ming Yan was not lying. You have no chance in front of me!
Looking at Ding Meng's horrified expression, Ming Yan smiled even more happily. She liked to see the expressions of men as strong as Ding Meng and Ling Tian in the end.
Ming Yan smiled and said, "I know that your Smelting Space is your biggest trump card. In the previous battle, you didn't use the energy in the Smelting Space. I knew that you were keeping it to deal with me, so you pretended to be evenly matched with Xie Yu, making me mistakenly think that you had done your best. Of course, I also played along with your act, making you mistakenly think that I had relaxed my vigilance and wanted to recruit you. Then, I took the opportunity to sneak attack. Hehe, in terms of acting, I can be considered your ancestor. How can you hide your little skill from me?"
Ding Meng's face became as ugly as death. "How did you know?"
Ming Yan smiled even more happily. "When Ling Tian and I were husband and wife, I knew that the Black Dragon King was the guardian of the Temple. I also knew that he was reluctant to use the True Essence Godly Crystal for himself, and even more reluctant to give it away. We planned for such a long time, waiting for our strength to surpass the Black Dragon King. Only after we killed him would he give the True Essence Godly Crystal to the other chosen ones. Only then would he open the Holy Staircase for you to avenge him. Otherwise, you and I would never find this place even if we spent our entire lives."
Ding Meng's face turned green with anger. Virtue was one foot tall, and the devil was ten feet tall. In terms of calculation, he had underestimated Queen Ming Yan. The cost of underestimating an opponent may not be great, but the cost of underestimating a god-level opponent was not something that anyone could bear. He, Ding Meng, was no exception.
Ming Yan said proudly, "When I said that you had not lost, it was because you had not shown your trump card. Now, you have truly lost."
"Yes!" Ding Meng lowered his head sadly.
Ming Yan said, "What else do you have to say?"
Ding Meng was expressionless. "I have nothing to say!"
Ming Yan's lips curled into a smile. "That's right. The winner takes all, and the loser takes all. The winner has everything, and the loser has nothing. You're too young, and it's not unjust that you lost to me. Since you're still young, I'll let you live.
