As a veteran Origin Energy General, especially a Body Hardening General, he had experienced countless battles in his life. What kind of opponent had he not seen before?
What kind of attack had he not faced?
But what was happening right now was beyond Quan Jinwei's understanding. In his perception, the three Ding Meng in the sky and on the ground were not mirror images, nor were they illusions. They were real people, and even the movements they emitted were exactly the same. There was not the slightest difference. The key question was, how had Ding Meng teleported outside the wall?
Was this some kind of secret technique?
Quan Jinwei guessed.
His guess was correct. This was indeed Ding Meng's secret technique, the "Single Dance of the Serene Lotus". This was a divine technique that focused on defense and survival, and it was only used in moments of life and death. Unfortunately, Ding Meng had not practiced this technique for long enough, so he had not fully mastered it yet. But at this moment, it was enough for him to create three clones.
The three Ding Meng wielded their swords in three different positions, and their Origin Energy fluctuations instantly increased by a large margin. Quan Jinwei did not have any detection devices, so he could not accurately assess Ding Meng's battle prowess. However, his past experience told him that his opponent's aura posed a great threat to him, even to his own life.
He had no time to think. He pulled back his hand, and the many walls of the "Wall of Holy Splendor" changed directions, once again trapping the three Ding Meng within.
At the same time, however, the three Ding Meng wielded their swords at an even faster speed. Countless thin, sharp, and long-range sword flashes shot out from their swords. These sword flashes did not fly directly toward Quan Jinwei, but instead converged with the sword flashes that Ding Meng had unleashed on the ground. They were like a tornado that had suddenly gathered, like a surging wave, or like a brilliant meteor shower in outer space.
The sword flashed through the air, and the figure followed the sword. The tip of the sword was like an alligator, soaring into the sky. Its strength was like a dragon's, and its form was like the wind. This was the second style of the "Solitary Sword of Zhao", "Prairie Fire Sword". Zhao Yue himself probably did not expect that Ding Meng would be able to practice this technique to such a terrifying degree on his own.
"Kill —"
The three Ding Meng's shouted in unison. The sword light on the ground had already gathered into a fireball. The fireball was no longer restricted by the 'Wall of Holy Brilliance'. It fiercely hit the surface of the 'Wall of Holy Brilliance'. Immediately, the 'Wall of Holy Brilliance' let out a series of 'Bang Bang Bang' sounds, which sounded like a pot of beans being fried.
Quan Jinwei turned pale with fright. He waved his palms in the air again, and more walls flew out and attached themselves to the original gem prism. His intention was obvious. He wanted to strengthen the thickness of the walls to resist Ding Meng's assault.
Unfortunately, it was useless. The fireball was like a boulder rolling down a high slope, crushing everything in its path. No matter how much pressure you put on it, you couldn't stop it. Not long after, there was a crisp "ding ling" sound, and a hole was finally made in the wall. The entire hall was filled with red light, and the fireball's true body was revealed.
It was not a real fireball, but a combination of source energy, sword light, and energy. Due to the suppression effect of the Wall of Holy Brilliance, the confinement effect was now broken. The fireball turned into three magnificent energy streams and swept towards Quan Jinwei, drowning him in almost an instant.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh —"
In the bright red energy flow, countless sword lights swarmed out. It was the scene of the battle against the Hercules armor on Boggol. Tens of thousands of swords shot out at the same time. It was colorful and brilliant, and the power of the swords was overwhelming.
The three Ding Meng once again waved their swords. The swords and the people seemed to have merged into one. The three long white lights instantly merged into one and penetrated Quan Jinwei's body like lightning.
The Wall of Holy Brilliance disappeared, the energy streams disappeared, and the sword light disappeared. Ding Meng knelt on one knee on the edge of the crater, holding the sword in his hand and gasping for breath. After a few seconds of gasping, he opened his mouth and spat out a large cloud of blood.
Behind him, there was no sound, no change, and no body. Quan Jinwei had been reduced to nothingness in the tidal wave of attacks. Not even a strand of his hair was left. He had been melted into nothingness by the immense heat.
Xiao Ai scanned for a long time before she breathed a sigh of relief. "The target has been eliminated. I can't find any information about him in this hall. He should be dead."
Little Rascal cheered, "Wah wah wah, Ding Meng, you defeated a champion! My god, you're amazing!"
Ding Meng had no way to answer the two of them. He was currently in a heavily injured state. Just now, he had used the Solitary Sword of Zhao, the Solitary Dance of the Dark Lotus, the Starry Diamond Sword Technique, and the Origin Smelting Technique. He had long since overdrawn his Origin Energy. Now, all eight of his Origin Points had dimmed. Not only did he need energy to recover, but he also needed time.
In fact, the worst part was that he had attacked without holding back. The Wall of Holy Brilliance had caused him great damage, and there were signs of fractures and lacerations all over his body.
Ding Meng's face was pale. He immediately sat down cross-legged and used the last of the Origin Smelting Technique's Origin Energy to heal himself. He was very clear that if it weren't for the fact that the First Prototype had multiplied his Origin Energy and provided him with the greatest amount of protection, he wouldn't have had any chance of victory against Quan Jinwei. As such, he didn't feel the slightest bit of joy from his victory.
On the contrary, Ding Meng's mood was very heavy. The First Prototype's degree of damage had reached 71%, and it needed to be repaired. However, this kind of high-end bio-mechanical technology could only be done by Yao Manrou herself. In order to prevent the First Prototype from being completely destroyed, Ding Meng could only put the Origin Battle Armor back into his bag.
After taking care of all this, Ding Meng felt that his body was extremely weak compared to his normal state. His top priority was to leave this place and find a relatively safe place to quickly recover.
There were four entrances to the hall, and he didn't know where they led. Ding Meng chose the northern entrance to leave.
Just ten minutes after he left, something he never dreamed of happened. At the bottom of the large pit in the center of the hall, a cloud of fog energy and a pool of dark blue liquid were slowly fusing together. After a long time, the fog dissipated and the liquid took shape. It was the shape of a person.
Quan Jinwei lowered his head and looked at his spread out hands. He then stretched his neck, and his shoulder joints cracked. After confirming that he was fine, he licked his lips and sighed. "Not bad. This person suits my taste."
He looked like he had been resurrected, but this time, his eyes had turned into cinnabar demon eyes that could be seen with the naked eye. If Ding Meng could see this scene, his jaw would probably drop to the ground. He didn't think that the other party could resurrect in such a strange way.
Even stranger things were yet to come. After exiting the northern entrance, he found himself in an identical hall. However, there were no Ghost Eye Demonic Eye teleportation arrays on the walls. After passing through five consecutive entrances, the scene was still the same. Ding Meng realized that this damned place really was like a maze. If he didn't have a complete map, he would be running around like a headless fly.
The fierce battle had caused his strength to drop by more than half, so his perception and telekinesis vision had also weakened. After randomly passing through a few more entrances, Ding Meng decided to sit down in this hall to recover.
There had never been a more dangerous operation than this one. After experiencing several life and death crises in the past, he at least had a clear understanding of his surroundings and the basic information of his enemies. However, this time, he was completely confused. There were too many strange phenomena and unknown factors in this underground world. He couldn't take any more risks. He had to quickly find a way out and ask the military for reinforcements. If he ran into another Warrior-level character, he would undoubtedly die. Even the gods wouldn't be able to save him.
Reconstructing the Origin was something he was familiar with. The first five points could be reconstructed instantly, but the Origin itself needed new Origin Energy to refine. The sixth, seventh, and eighth points needed to be replenished with energy like the Inverse Source Crystal.
After an unknown amount of time, Ding Meng, who was recovering, was woken up by Little Rascal. "Detected slight Origin Energy fluctuations in the vicinity."
Crap!
Ding Meng's heart immediately sank. It definitely wasn't a good thing for someone to come at this time, because the probability of them being allies was very small.
A minute later, Ding Meng stood up. Because the other party was coming from the direction of this hall, it seemed like he couldn't avoid them even if he wanted to.
There were a total of four people, three men and one woman. After seeing these four people clearly, Ding Meng's heart sank completely. No matter how much he thought about it, he still didn't expect it to be like this.
He had seen the person on the leftmost side of the group before. It was Jia Hua, who he had fought against on the Falcon Spacecraft.
In front of Jia Hua was a tall and handsome man. He was calm and had an extraordinary bearing. This person was Chu Yifeng.
Walking side by side with Chu Yifeng was a woman in professional attire. If it weren't for the fact that his eyes were playing tricks on him, Ding Meng would have mistaken her for Julie. However, she clearly wasn't Julie, and the impression she left on Ding Meng was much deeper than Julie's. This person was actually Lan Bing.
Behind Lan Bing was another person. This man was wearing gray clothes and a pair of old-fashioned aviator sunglasses. However, Ding Meng felt that this person was the most dangerous. He was still fifty meters away, but the bone-chilling aura he emitted was very clear. These weren't Origin Energy fluctuations, but a natural aura. It was obvious that the number of lives this man had taken was no less than three digits.
This was the first time Chu Yifeng had seen Ding Meng in real life. After sizing up Ding Meng a few times, he couldn't help but frown. "He doesn't seem to be much."
This question was directed at Lan Bing. What he meant was that Ding Meng, who had killed Julie, escaped from the base, stolen the K virus, killed Haofeng, caused havoc on Baigu Planet in Meteor City, and attracted the attention of the old man, was actually this weak?
Lan Bing's attitude was still as cold as ever. She was like an iceberg that could never be melted. However, this time, she frowned slightly and said in a deep voice, "He's injured!"
These five short words immediately raised Ding Meng's vigilance and alertness. If Lan Bing could see that he was injured, it meant that her strength had improved in the past two years. Perhaps it wasn't just improvement, but a qualitative leap.
The current situation bodes ill for them in the truest sense of the word.
