The gunfire in the command center gradually died down, because all the mercenaries who had come to support them had fallen.
Jia Mao and Ren Tu leaned against the steel plates and gasped for breath. They couldn't believe what had just happened.
Although it didn't take much effort for an advanced warrior to deal with mercenaries, how long had it been?
The two groups of mercenaries had a total of more than a hundred people, and there was no lack of origin ability users and beginner warriors among them. They had actually been wiped out by Ding Meng in such an unimaginable way.
In fact, the two of them were most shocked by Ding Meng's strength, especially Jia Mao. Before he left, he had specifically searched for information about Ding Meng in the Extreme Heaven Corporation's database. It said that "Ding Meng's strength is above that of a beginner warrior, and he already has a strong foundation." This additional comment had been made by Miss Bing herself.
But now, it seemed that Ding Meng wasn't just a beginner warrior. He was a solid advanced warrior, and this advanced warrior already had a strong foundation. He was definitely much stronger than the average advanced warrior.
Jia Mao was still in shock. Suddenly, a white ball of light appeared in the pile of corpses at the door. After a few seconds, the light disappeared, and a black Hercules Predator armor appeared. It had the body of a standard mantis, and it waved six mechanical arms that were baring fangs and brandishing claws.
This wasn't reinforcements. Ren Zhan had taken advantage of the chaos to open the armor box he had brought with him and quickly equipped himself in the midst of the large-scale gunfire.
Although he had equipped the armor, he was actually secretly regretting it. He should have equipped it when he saw Ding Meng appear.
In the end, underestimating the enemy was the natural enemy of every warrior. He had always thought that with the combined strength of himself, Ren Tu, and Jia Mao, no matter how strong Ding Meng was, he wouldn't be able to turn the tables.
In the end, when Ding Meng showed his true strength, it was too late. Ding Meng's "Overlord's Mountain Crushing Force" had injured him quite badly. Now, even though he had equipped the armor, through the transmission of the power core, the main interface showed that his combat value was 87,882 points.
If it was during normal times, this battle value would increase to: 114399 points. This is the strength of a beginner war elder. No matter how strong you, Ding Meng, are, I don't believe that you can surpass this value.
But it was too late to say anything now. Ren Zhan didn't waste his breath and simply raised his left arm.
Herak's mechanical arm immediately changed shape, and a blue metal ball extended from the inside. Energy arcs jumped around it, and then a string of fiery red laser particles poured out with a "xiu xiu xiu" sound.
This was the miniature particle cannon on the armor. Ding Meng also knew that this thing was not an ordinary energy gun and could not be taken head-on.
It wasn't that they couldn't handle it at all. It was still the same principle. It was best to fight a battle of attrition less and quickly kill the enemy.
Surprisingly, Ding Meng did not choose to dodge or roll. Instead, he retreated to a corner and ran along the wall towards the north of the hall.
Herak's armor was worthy of being a mainstream sixth-generation product. The red electric particles did not shoot in a straight line, but in a strange arc. It was like a chain of lightning that constantly twisted and changed. If he dodged or rolled, he would definitely be hit.
Moreover, the fiery red electric particles did not explode when they hit the steel plate. Half a second later, there was a puff of smoke, and then the alloy steel plate turned into molten steel.
At first, Ding Meng was still running on the ground, but as his speed increased, his boots stepped on the wall, and he actually ran along the wall in a half arc before landing. When Ren Zhan's second round of shots came, Ding Meng actually miraculously dodged, leaving behind a trail of fiery red molten steel along the way.
This was a light speed martial arts technique that he had learned from Xing Yi — "Gale". It used constant stacking of speed to adjust the steps to achieve the effect of using the terrain to dodge. Of course, this martial arts technique was only similar in appearance.
If a light speed origin ability user were to use "Gale" here, they would have disappeared in a few ups and downs.
However, even if it was not, the electric particle laser cannon still could not hit Ding Meng. On the contrary, after a few rounds of shooting, the hall was set ablaze. Ren Zhan did not dare to shoot anymore, because the sound of the system rang out in the hall.
"Warning, warning, the communication system is under attack. The damage is 42.33%. The communication system is malfunctioning. The estimated time to repair is 3 minutes and 30 seconds …"
Ren Zhan really could not take this lying down. This Ding Meng was really too cunning. He purposely lured the firepower towards the main control area in the north. His goal was very sinister. Shoot as much as you want. I can't wait for you to turn the control center into ashes. Then, I'll make you guys risk your lives to fix it. After all, Meteor City is currently floating towards outer space.
Herak's armor quickly retracted its cannon. The mechanical arm transformed again, and two laser knives appeared.
This six-leaf rotating laser blade looked like a willow leaf from afar, but in fact, it was like a long rotating wheel. When the armor rushed over, the laser blades were like two super drills that rolled up on the ground. Countless alloy steel plates and unconscious mercenaries were twisted into powder.
Ding Meng still did not seem to dare to take the attack head-on. He kept retreating.
He tiptoed lightly and retreated more than ten meters.
Ren Zhan simply took out four laser knives and used the armor's four forelimbs to chop at Ding Meng as if he was cutting vegetables.
Many people knew the characteristics of mantises. Their forearms were unusually strong and sharp, and their attacking style was also quite fierce. It had to be said that Ren Zhan had made full use of this characteristic and forced Ding Meng to keep retreating. He had no time to fight back at all.
He chopped faster and faster, and the chase became more and more urgent. Because the crystal eyes kept feeding back the real-time data, the main interface reminded him that the enemy's combat value was constantly increasing. Originally, Ding Meng's combat value was 61,203 points. When he was dodging the electric particles, it was 68,022 points. Now, it had soared to 75,666 points. The trend did not show any signs of stopping. It seemed that it was still going to rise.
Ren Zhan could not hold it any longer. The four knives slashed down at the same time.
After a series of cracking sounds, a square pit appeared in the center of the hall.
Unfortunately, Ding Meng was not in the pit. Ding Meng seemed to have expected this move. When the laser knives were chopping down, he did not retreat. Instead, he moved forward. His body suddenly shrank and slid out from under the mantis' stomach like a slippery fish.
"You're going to die!"
Ren Zhan roared. He controlled the armor to turn around quickly. The mantis' chest suddenly spat out a white crystal-like cylinder.
This thing flew into the air and split into a dazzling hexagonal net of light. The net of light covered Ding Meng, who was still sliding, at lightning speed. This was the energy hunting net on Herc's armor. It had an automatic tracking function. After being locked on by the system, it was very difficult to avoid.
Ding Meng jumped up while sliding and landed on the ground with a somersault. A golden diamond mirror image appeared on her body with a "zheng" sound. The light net bound the mirror image with a "pa" sound and quickly tightened. The surface of the mirror image was smoking with a "chi chi chi" sound. It was obvious that the energy of the hunting net was not weak.
"Let's see if you can still run away."
Ren Zhan did not hesitate this time. He waved the laser knives and rushed out again. At the same time, the armor's firepower was fully activated. The chest on the mantis' shoulder opened, and four Stinger missiles flew up at lightning speed.
"Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
Boom! "
This level of explosion was not the least bit inferior to the previous Light Pupil. The energy generated by the huge explosion shook all the crystal plates and facilities on the nineteenth floor into pieces. Even Jia Mao and Butcher, who were in the distance, were swept up by the huge debris. The two of them could not help but cover their eyes.
However, the diamond mirror image still did not shatter.
Ding Meng, who was inside the shield, closed his eyes and put his palms together. He was motionless like an old monk in meditation.
Not good!
Ren Zhan finally realized what was truly terrifying about Ding Meng.
As he rushed out, the main interface suddenly flashed red. This was a high-risk warning signal. He only glanced at it and his heart skipped a beat.
Ding Meng's combat value was originally 80230 points, but it suddenly increased by a large margin. The interface showed that it was now 94559 points. Ren Zhan thought he was seeing things, but the system did not have four eyes. It could not be seeing things. When he looked again, he found that Ding Meng's combat value had exploded to a terrifying 116666 points. It was even higher than his own combat value, even if he equipped the armor. It was too late for Ren Zhan to change his mind now. There was no way he could do something like emergency braking.
Ding Meng suddenly opened his eyes. He pushed his palms together to the sides. His whole body stretched out, and then he let out a shocking roar.
"Ah — — —"
With a swoosh, a visible but immaterial airwave burst forth like a halo spreading out. Together with the Diamond Mirror Image, it was blasted out. This was the Overlord's Mountain-Crushing Force that he had displayed with his true strength.
The huge battle armor was sent flying into the air, and the laser knife was immediately thrown out of his hand. The mantis' limbs were flailing in the air, and it had obviously lost its center of gravity. As a result, there was no suspense as it fell back into the big hole it had created.
This roar was so powerful that it could swallow mountains and rivers. Not only did it shatter all the crystal glass on the 19th floor's outer wall, it also knocked out Tu Jiamao in the distance and made him collapse into a ball.
Looking from the square outside, an unprecedentedly violent explosion occurred on the 19th floor of the building. Countless glass shards fell from the sky with fire raining down on the heads of the crowd. Along with the rain of fire, there were also pieces of sharp steel plates. Many people couldn't dodge in time and were scraped by the steel plates. Some were smashed to death, some were cut to death, some were scratched, some were fanned away, and some were set ablaze, screaming for help. The number of casualties was truly innumerable.
In the distance, beside a hidden entrance gate, a small shuttle car that was flying at high speed suddenly stopped. Looking back through the window, Dai Yi clenched her hands and frowned into a line. She secretly prayed in her heart, "Ding Meng, Cousin Ding Meng, you must not die. You must come back alive. I really don't want you to die in a place like this …"
Seeing her so worried that she was about to cry, the King of Nightmares on the main seat sighed and said, "Miss Dai, Mr Ting will be fine. We just have to wait for him as we agreed."
Seeing such a shocking scene outside the perimeter of the battle, the marshal also sighed. "I'm the one who's blind. Thinking back to how I treated Ding Meng in the past, I didn't expect him to save me in the end. Don't worry, Miss Dai. I'll send you to the ship even if it costs me my life."
