It made sense for Lu Ming to choose to walk forward slowly. Ding Meng had caught the laser with his bare hands, which completely dispelled his previous idea of stealing the chicken.
Sometimes, when an origin ability user's strength reached a certain level, they would know in their heart that if they met an opponent of the same level, victory or defeat would be decided by a few moves. Playing those fancy tricks or unorthodox tricks was not creating opportunities, but digging one's own grave.
Now, the two of them were less than three meters apart. Ding Meng was still standing there coldly, without even moving his feet. However, the heat radiating from the two of them stirred up the lake water under the bridge.
Without any warning, Lu Ming suddenly swung out a palm.
This palm was a bit like Ding Meng's hand knife, but Lu Ming didn't cut out. Instead, he slashed at Ding Meng's face.
At this moment, his body seemed to be shrouded by the mirror image of a golden ancient warrior. The warrior held two flat, rectangular swords. Lu Ming's palm was in front, and the two swords followed closely behind. They also slashed at Ding Meng's forehead.
This martial technique, Blazing Battle Pattern, was almost the standard martial technique of the Holy Grail Federation. It was the release of origin energy from the body of the origin ability user. It was different from Source Steel Shield, which was purely for strong defense and close combat. However, once the Blazing Battle Pattern was used, it would expand a field of origin energy in the nearby area, creating the effects of various types of origin energy. For someone like Lu Ming, who was a thermodynamic user, not only did it have a strong oppressive effect, but when the two swords were raised, even the corpses around were vaporized.
For a moment, the square was filled with a strong light, and the shuttle cars parked around were overturned. The force of this palm was as turbulent as a flood passing through.
Ding Meng also knew that Lu Ming was an intermediate War Venerable. His strength was not to be underestimated, and the method he used to deal with Mao Zhan and Hu Biao would not work. Therefore, when Lu Ming's palm came, Ding Meng's six origin points were operating at full force, and he slashed out with a backhand knife.
This time, he did not meet force with force. Instead, he greeted Lu Ming's shoulder. Because his speed was obviously faster, he could reach Lu Ming first.
Lu Ming's reaction was not slow either. He abruptly stopped his palm blade and quickly changed his posture to use his right elbow to catch Ding Meng's palm blade.
With a muffled bang, the two sources of energy collided, and the surrounding air suddenly exploded. The stone slabs on the ground were shaken into the air, and countless gravel splattered in all directions. The shuttle cars in the square were all shaken into the lake, and even the lampposts by the roadside were blown away.
In the huge shock, Lu Ming was knocked back more than ten meters by Ding Meng.
Although he was knocked back, the Burning Sun Battle Pattern was not affected. The two sabers were launched in the blink of an eye.
In Lu Ming's vision, the saber had clearly cut into Ding Meng's head. For some reason, it turned into countless golden powder with a "ding ling" sound, scattering like stars in the sky.
There were probably only a few people present who saw it clearly. Ding Meng's entire body was shrouded by a diamond mirror that was even more golden in color. It only flashed slightly and then quickly disappeared. When the saber hit the diamond, it was like a jade hitting an alloy. It couldn't shake it at all.
The male bodyguard suddenly turned around. "Miss Xu, let's go!"
Xu Mengqing was enjoying watching. She could not help but wonder, "Are we just going to leave like this?"
The male bodyguard said, "No need to watch. Lu Ming can't escape. If we don't leave now, it will be even harder to leave later."
He did not make any rash judgments, because the moment his saber shattered, Ding Meng's hand suddenly turned into a fist, and he charged forward. He was so fast that before Lu Ming could regain his footing, Fire Energy Rushing Fist was already right in front of him.
Lu Ming's pupils suddenly shrank. He knew that his opponent was powerful, but he did not expect him to be so powerful. In terms of speed alone, he was not at the same level as Ding Meng. But now he had no time to think about it. He quickly closed his palms to take the punch.
With a crisp "bang", his closed palms were quickly shaken away. The Flame Energy Penetrating Force hit his chest. This time, he did not slide back, but was completely shaken away.
Just like Mao Zhan, before he landed on the ground, Ding Meng punched out again. Lu Ming, who was in mid-air, was hit hard by the blast again. A row of coconut tree trunks by the flower bed were broken by his back.
From the moment Lu Ming attacked to the moment he fell to the ground, it was a total of five seconds. It was so fast that it was shocking.
This pirate leader in outer space, who was feared by many forces, could not even fight back in front of Ding Meng. The main reason was that Ding Meng had made great progress in his cultivation on Planet V4 in the past few months. The Diamond Star Technique was a technique that would become stronger as one progressed. It was the kind of technique that was completely unreasonable.
When Lu Ming crawled out from the pile of fallen branches, he was shocked to find that Ding Meng was standing in front of him, staring coldly at him. It was only at this time that he suddenly realized that the other party was not an opponent of equal strength, but far stronger than him. When did Fang Zhenghao manage to hire such a fighter?
Lu Ming gritted his teeth and said, "You … Do you know who I am?"
Ding Meng said indifferently, "It doesn't matter who you are."
Lu Ming hissed, "My old man is Lu Zhenfeng, the former deputy commander of the Federation's fleet …"
"I know." Ding Meng was the scariest when he was expressionless. "You want me to let you go."
Seeing that his tone had eased, Lu Ming hurriedly said, "I just said that everyone values harmony, and harmony brings wealth. Brother, if you have anything to tell me in the future, I will definitely do it immediately. I promise."
Ding Meng was still expressionless, but his tone was a little emotional. "Your old man is Lu Zhenfeng. The tens of thousands of people on Planet KV303 don't have an old man like him. So you can live, but they deserve to die?"
Lu Ming thought quickly and waved his hand. "No, definitely not. Brother, I am willing to donate ten billion star credits to Fang Zhenghao to rebuild the base for the refugees. What do you think?"
Ding Meng snorted disdainfully. "I gave you a chance just now, but you didn't cherish it. It's too late to say anything now."
Before Lu Ming could answer, a strong dark golden light suddenly rose. He screamed and fell to the ground. His right arm had been cut off from the shoulder. Blood quickly dyed the green flower bed red. Ding Meng still had the ancient sword on his belt, as if it had never been pulled out at all.
Lu Ming had to beg for mercy this time. His voice was worse than crying. "Wait, it was Hu Biao who did this. I didn't know it beforehand …"
What he meant was that if Lu Ming wanted revenge, he should look for the real culprit. Why did he look for him?
"I know!"
Ding Meng said unhurriedly. "When those women and children were killed, I didn't know either. I only know that it was your Extreme Pirate Troop who did it."
This meant that no matter who did it, this account would be on Lu Ming's head.
In fact, Ding Meng had considered this problem on his way here. Whether it was Hu Biao or Lu Ming, the pirate leaders of the Extreme Pirate Troop had to die anyway. If these people were not completely eliminated, he was afraid that they would bring endless trouble to the Green Arrow Troop. To cut the weeds, he had to dig up the roots. Only by killing Lu Ming could he intimidate the entire Cypress Tree.
"You!"
Lu Ming believed that he was also a person of status, but he did not expect that this young boy would be so stubborn and ignore his explanation. At this moment, he did not care about the sharp pain of his broken arm. He struggled to get up and pounced on Ding Meng.
Unfortunately, it was all in vain. There was another flash of sword light, and Lu Ming fell down again. This time, he could not stand up again, and he would never be able to stand up again, because Ding Meng had directly cut off his left ankle.
This time, the sword was not sheathed. Ding Meng slowly walked forward with the long sword. The tip of the sword was still dripping with blood.
Lu Ming struggled to crawl forward on the ground. After crawling for five meters, his head suddenly left his body and was thrown into the air. Ding Meng's wrist shook, and the sword light flashed rapidly in the air. Lu Ming's head turned into countless pieces of flesh and blood that scattered in all directions.
Ding Meng turned his hand again. With a click, the sword was finally sheathed.
Then he slowly turned and faced the people on the bridge of Building No.1.
Chu Zhongyu and the other six people did not leave. Instead, they watched him torture the leaders of the Extreme Pirate Troop.
Chu Zhongyu even looked at Ding Meng with interest. "Brother Ding, I didn't expect you to be so skillful at such a young age. Come and work for our Haitian Group. A small place like Green Arrow can't accommodate you. Haitian Group can give you a bigger platform to show your skills. What do you think?
Are you interested? "
Ding Meng sneered. "I'm only interested in this person."
His eyes fell on Jia Mao. Jia Mao was supported by two other bodyguards. After taking the healing agent, his injuries were temporarily stabilized. However, Ding Meng would not let him go so easily.
Chu Zhongyu's face darkened. "Haven't you heard of the Haitian Group?"
Ding Meng had more than heard of it. Since the Black Gold Base, he had been dealing with this force. This time was no exception. Killing Lu Ming and the other pirates was just an appetizer. The real difficult ones were the people in front of him.
"Do you know why I want to kill the Extreme Pirate Troop?" Ding Meng suddenly asked.
Chu Zhongyu obviously knew the whole story in the fight just now, but so what?
It was just a group of alien refugees who died. He could not hand Jia Mao over to die now, could he?
Chu Zhongyu said proudly, "Brother Ding, there are only a few people in the Federation who can make me hand over my men. You'd better think carefully. Do you really want Brother Jia?"
"I don't expect you to give in."
Ding Meng walked onto the bridge. "You bastards with the surname Chu. This time, I'll settle all my old and new grudges."
Seeing Ding Meng coming forward with bad intentions, a male bodyguard behind Chu Zhongyu quickly stood up and said in a low voice, "Huimao, Little Gu, protect Fourth Young Master and Brother Jia. Haofeng, stay here. We'll take care of this."
Seeing Chu Zhongyu and the other three leave, Ding Meng did not chase after them. The two men in suits in front of him were the two men who had surrounded Chu Zhongyu when he came to the venue in Building 1. Even with telekinetic vision, it was difficult to see through them.
Chu Yifeng and Lan Binger had made trouble for him time and time again. This time, it was time for him to take the initiative to make them bleed. Ding Meng had already made up his mind. This time, he would not be kind on Cypress Planet. Since he met the Haitian Group again, it was time to settle the previous score.
Of course, the score of a man of steel was not settled with money, but with life!
