The Lone Sword of Zhao had always been a thorn in Ding Meng's side. Why did he say so?
Back then, when Zhao Yue taught Ji Hao the moves of the mysterious man, there were only a few lines of explanations left in Ji Hao's memory. Without Zhao Yue's personal guidance, it would be extremely difficult for others to understand the real skills, secrets, essence, and charm of the mysterious man.
It could not be helped. The culture of Huaxia emphasized that it could only be understood but not explained. Sometimes, for those with mediocre talent, no matter how much you taught them, they would not be able to understand the profound martial arts. However, for those with extraordinary talent, they would be able to understand by analogy even without being taught.
In fact, along the way, most of the time, Ding Meng would feel dizzy looking at this martial arts technique. The Lone Sword of Zhao was really too difficult to understand. When he was on Planet V4, he suddenly had an idea. Since he did not understand it, he might as well practice it according to his understanding.
He pointed his long sword, leaped into the air, and turned around to stab out a light curtain of sword rain. This was the essence of a line of explanation in the 《Lone Sword of Zhao》: the body flies, the sword soars into the sky, the body turns into a flying eagle, the blade turns into the ground, the sword reflects the void, the body and the enemy vanishes.
This was based on the full force release of the seven origins of the Diamond Star Technique. The light and shadow produced by the sword was controlled by the telekinesis vision. As for why the Hercules armor was repelled, it was because the Overlord's Mountain Crushing Force was attached to it.
The scene of tens of thousands of swords shooting out at the same time was colorful and magnificent. This was the ultimate beauty of a martial artist's path of cultivation.
The rain of swords was still going on, but the inside of the armor was constantly sounding alarms. "Warning, warning, the matrix capacity is 76.33%, 70.09%, 61.28%, 56.45% …"
Bai Le was so angry that he smashed the control panel. "Damn it, why can't I continue to charge it?"
The system's voice said, "The current capacity has reached the limit. Forcible charging will damage the body. It is recommended that the body be hit directly."
Bai Le was so angry that his scalp went numb. He did not expect Ding Meng's nonsense to be right. This Hercules armor was indeed flawed. Its design should not have had such a low load capacity. If it could only withstand the attack of an advanced warlord, wouldn't it be a suicide mission for those combat masters and warlords?
Ding Meng was not talking nonsense. The research and development department of Shenghao Group did not treat Bai Yue as a human being. They made an immature defective product for him to equip. They wanted to see what problems there were that needed to be improved. They did not want him to follow Hu Chengzhi to Cypress Grove Planet to show off.
But it was meaningless to think about this now. Under the fierce rain of swords, the light shield finally let out a long whooshing sound. It sounded like a tire leaking air. The energy had finally been exhausted, and the matrix slowly disappeared.
At this moment, Ding Meng's body suddenly straightened. The human-shaped light pupil flew into the rain with a sword in hand. He seemed to have completely merged with the rain. In the rainstorm, a miraculous scene appeared again. A huge golden-yellow divine eagle image faintly appeared. With a whoosh, it crashed down with a whistling sound. It was like an eagle soaring in the sky. Even though it knew that there was thunder and lightning in front of it, it still charged forward bravely without hesitation.
With a whoosh, the mirror image of the Divine Eagle seemed to pass through the armor. Countless steel plates fell off. The armor was originally a majestic-looking strange bird, but now it looked like a plucked chicken. The metal fibers on the surface of the armor were all damaged.
However, its body was still intact. This showed that the defense of the Hercules armor was really tough.
The rain of swords finally disappeared, and the Divine Eagle was destroyed. The open space returned to darkness.
In the darkness, Bai Yue's crazy laughter rang out. "Hahahahaha, idiot Ding Meng, do you think you are so great just because you have a high-level martial art?
The Hercules armor is the most advanced defense product in the entire Holy Grail Federation and the Norse Empire. You want to challenge it with a broken sword?
Hahahaha, show me what you have. "
Ding Meng was standing on the side of the armor. He maintained a backhand backstab posture, and the long sword pierced through the waist of the armor.
Ding Meng had always been meticulous. Previously, he had succeeded twice in the same position on the Nemesis armor. The "wound" on the steel plate was very obvious. Besides, there was nothing that the Khorium metal sword could not pierce through.
However, with the size of the Hercules armor, the tip of the sword would not be able to pierce through Bai Yue, who was in the core cabin. That was why Bai Yue laughed so arrogantly.
Ding Meng also laughed. His smile was very disdainful. "Yes, this is the best defensive armor. I admit it. But to defeat you, I don't need to break the armor. Last time, you robbed me of a whole bag of things and left me on the carrier. This time, I will leave you in this armor."
He paused, and his tone became cold again. "Captain Bai, we are even."
Bai Yue suddenly coughed violently inside the armor. The sound of his coughing was abnormal, like that of a tuberculosis patient. His voice became panicked and frightened. "You … What did you do to me?
You … You bastard, you poisoned me … Cough, cough, cough … "
Like what Ding Meng had said, this battle armor was really hard to be destroyed. His last strike was not meant to kill Bai Yue. His real purpose was to send the longsword into the core module of the battle armor and inject the toxic energy that he had refined during his cultivation on Planet V4 into the core module. As long as a tiny bit of the toxin entered the internal air circulation system of the battle armor, it would be the end of the doughnut, pearl milk tea and instant noodles...
He did not believe that Bai Yue's origin energy was stronger than his.
If he could not kill Bai Yue, he would poison Bai Yue. If he could not fight Bai Yue head-on, he would play dirty. Ding Meng felt more and more that Meng Yan's poison skills were good. She could always sneak into the enemy's weakness without anyone noticing.
"Cough … Cough, cough, cough …" Bai Yue was obviously deeply poisoned. Ding Meng's origin energy was much higher than his, so naturally, Bai Yue's origin energy could not resist the refined poison.
Inside the armor, Bai Yue's skin was withering, turning green, and rotting at a speed visible to the naked eye. He gritted his teeth and used the last of his strength to press on the control panel a few times. Only then did he laugh viciously. "Hehehehehe, you think this is the end?
Dream on, even if I die, I will drag you down with me … "
At this moment, a black shadow flashed in the distance. The black shadow was obviously a light speed origin ability user. He used Transient Steps continuously and arrived beside Ding Meng in a few leaps. Without saying anything, he grabbed Ding Meng's arm and used Transient Steps. Then, he used Divine Steps. The two of them floated into the lake outside the beach like ghosts.
The voice of the armor system said, "Equipment removal command received. Execution approved. Countdown: 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 …"
A blue-white light spot suddenly appeared in the energy chamber of the Hercules armor. The light spot was expanding at an exponential rate.
Looking from the highest point of the small island in the middle of the lake, with the Hercules armor as the center, a rotating blue-white hemispherical force field was generated in the central open space. In the blink of an eye, it expanded to the edge of the entire island.
This was the self-destruction program of the armor. It was not an explosion, but a collapse of everything around it using the energy of the silver core stone.
With a whoosh, the force field suddenly shrank until it disappeared. The small island in the middle of the lake turned into a huge pit. The pit was full of fiery red magma, and the lake water immediately surged in. Large clouds of white mist rose in this space, and the whole starship trembled slightly.
The nest of the Extreme Bandits was reduced to ashes in the blink of an eye. There was nothing left. All the people, objects, buildings, corpses, vehicles, facilities … everything was gone. They were all melted into slag, and there was not even a slag left.
After about five minutes, two people finally emerged from the lake. Ding Meng was helping Du Mo stumble to the shore. Both of them were covered in wounds and gasping for breath …
Du Mo had been cooperating with Ding Meng from the beginning. He was also the one who set up the underground control room. First, he killed the mercenaries below, then he shut down the energy supply system of the entire island and cut off the connection with the outside world.
It was also Du Mo who equipped the Nemesis. At the critical moment, it was Du Mo who helped Ding Meng kill Guan Bai, interfere with the man in the suit, and sneak attack on Bai Yue. At the last moment, it was also Du Mo who teleported Ding Meng into the water with martial arts.
Of course, Ding Meng would not leave him alone. Now the two of them were barely standing. Du Mo's arm was seriously injured, and Ding Meng was also exhausted after running the armor to the extreme.
"This guy is really ruthless. He even thought of blowing himself up." In Ding Meng's mind, Bai Yue should not be the kind of fierce person who was not afraid of death.
Du Mo gasped and said, "I thought of this a long time ago. Once he is no match for you, he is likely to die together with you. If I get this specimen armor, Shenghao Group will probably make him suffer."
Ding Meng looked at him gratefully. If Du Mo had not risked his life to save him, he would have been melted into this terrible rock pit.
Du Mo seemed to know what he was thinking. He said with a wry smile, "You don't have to thank me. I should thank you."
Ding Meng said, "Oh?"
Du Mo said, "I was still too naive. I thought I could do whatever I wanted with just one armor. I was really wrong. The teacher was right. There will always be someone stronger."
His Nemesis armor was indeed incomparable to the Hercules armor in terms of comprehensive performance, but Nemesis also had its advantages: swiftness, speed, and sharpness. It was an assassin-like armor. Even if he fought with products like Hercules and Tyrael, he should not have been so embarrassed. In the end, it was because he was not proficient enough that he was beaten to death by Bai Yue. If it were his teacher, it would be a completely different scene.
However, the armor of Shenghao Group was still a defective product. The real mature products had not yet appeared. He dared not imagine how powerful the complete version of the Hercules armor would be once it appeared.
In short, during this trip to Cypress Grove, Du Mo realized his immaturity and shortcomings.
Ding Meng looked at his young face and said sincerely, "But I still want to thank you."
Du Mo asked, "Why?"
Ding Meng said meaningfully, "I am not thanking you. I am thanking you on behalf of the people on Planet KV303. Finally, they have avenged their loved ones."
Du Mo was silent for a long time. Finally, a gentle and friendly smile appeared on his face. "This is my original intention of coming here. Perhaps this is also your original intention."
