In Julie's field of vision, she could clearly see Ding Meng's leap, lunge, and reverse slash. However, when he slashed back at her, his arm seemed to be slightly distorted.
She knew that it wasn't a true distortion, but rather a visual error caused by his speed. Ding Meng's strength had improved by leaps and bounds during this period of time.
Julie also knew that she wouldn't be able to dodge, so she used both of her palms to block.
Another "pa" sound rang out. This time, it was her turn to take a few steps back. The force behind Ding Meng's palm had also caused her to feel the Origin Energy in her body stagnate. Moreover, her body wouldn't lie. Her right wrist already showed signs of a slight fracture.
Was this really a beginner Origin ability user?
Julie's bewilderment had already turned into shock. "You're not a beginner Origin ability user?"
Ding Meng completely ignored her. Seeing that his attack hadn't hit, he stepped forward and switched to using his left hand as a chop to his right. This sort of attack was a bit monotonous, as monotonous as a child's fight. However, to Julie, this child's technique was extremely threatening. This time, she didn't dare take it head on. She crossed her palms and used her arms to clamp down on Ding Meng's wrists and forcefully pulled them back. This borrowed force directly caused Ding Meng to fall backwards.
Julie quickly turned around and raised both of her arms. Her entire body seemed to be enveloped by a layer of light blue energy. Then, she waved her palms in front of her, and an invisible stream of energy surged out.
"Careful, something's strange," Little Rascal cried out in alarm.
Ding Meng had already felt it when he landed. His entire body was enveloped by an incomparably cold energy. When he raised his head again, he saw that Julie had already flown into the air. As she flew, she used the same technique twice in a row, the standard "Yangtze River's Three Layered Waves" technique.
The three streams of Qi superimposed on each other and converged into a bubble of blue energy, trapping Ding Meng in an instant. Earlier, he had felt that the cold energy had slowed his movements, but now, he felt that his entire body was so cold that he couldn't move at all. It was as if he had been completely imprisoned.
Not good!
Ding Meng saw that Julie's palms had turned blue. It was obvious that she was going all out. At this moment, he had no choice but to take it head-on.
Ding Meng forcefully activated the Mirror of Origin in his body. He straightened his chest and took the palm head-on. This was the smartest move out of all the clumsy methods. Taking a hit to the chest was much less risky than taking a hit to the head.
With a boom, Julie's Palm of Extinction landed squarely on Ding Meng's chest. Dust, broken arms, and broken limbs flew into the air as if they had been blown apart.
Ding Meng finally bent over in pain, but Julie was sent flying back instead.
With Ding Meng's chest as the center, a triangular white prism appeared and enveloped Ding Meng's body. The exquisite diamond mirror in the center flickered faintly for a moment before disappearing. Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that this was an extremely advanced defensive technique.
Julie half-knelt on the ground. Her eyes were filled with shock. "What kind of technique is this?"
Little Rascal was already proudly explaining, "Hmph, our Diamond Star Technique isn't some cheap trick. It's a divine technique that combines attack, defense, strengthening, purification, and many other uses. How could her cheap techniques compare to it?
Ding Meng, the more you practice it in the future, the more … "
Ding Meng's attention wasn't on Little Rascal at all. In fact, he was also suffering from Julie's palm strike. Through his telekinetic vision, he could clearly see that the three origin points of his heart had dimmed and their rotation speed had slowed down.
The two of them had only exchanged a few blows, but the enormous consumption of energy was far beyond what an ordinary person could imagine. Now that both of them were squatting on the ground and gasping for breath, whoever recovered first would undoubtedly have the upper hand.
Ding Meng also stared at Julie. "You said that as long as I give you the memory chip, you'll agree to my conditions?"
Julie's eyes lit up. "That's right. Tell me what you want. It's still not too late."
Ding Meng gritted his teeth and said, "Give me an Ion Flyer. I'll give it to you immediately."
Julie panted. "You want it now?"
Ding Meng said, "Yes!
Now! "
"Okay, I'll contact you right away."
Julie reached out her hand to press the wristwatch on her wrist. A light flashed and the communication interface immediately appeared …
The moment she reached out her hand, she knew she was wrong. Ding Meng's cunning was completely beyond her expectations.
Taking advantage of this fleeting moment, Ding Meng suddenly got up and rushed forward. His signature "Carp Leaping Over the Dragon Gate, Backhand Chop" was finally unleashed. Julie's hand had just pressed the wristwatch, so she could only raise her hand subconsciously to block.
"Kacha!" The chop was aimed at her right wrist again. This was a weak point that Ding Meng had never overlooked.
Julie could clearly feel that her wrist bones were completely shattered. The intense pain from her wrist instantly numbed her entire arm.
It was only now that she realized that she had made a mistake that most people would make, which was to underestimate the enemy too much.
Sometimes, the simpler the mistake, the more fatal the consequences. Under the intense pain, Julie gritted her teeth and fought back. She used all the strength in her body to kick towards the sky.
This kick also caught Ding Meng off guard. Ding Meng had sensed her movement and forcefully flipped his body to the right in midair. The high heels originally wouldn't have hit him, but with a clang, a sharp blade shot out from the tip of the shoe and stabbed into Ding Meng's lower abdomen.
This was the reason why she had been wearing high heels all this time. It wasn't for the sake of dressing up or looking good, but because the shoes hid her last resort. Whether or not she could save his life depended on this attack.
After Ding Meng rolled on the ground a few times, he felt as if a poisonous snake had drilled into his stomach. His internal organs were in pain from the bite, but fortunately, the Origin Energy in his body was circulating normally, so the wound wasn't a problem.
However, this wasn't the case in Julie's eyes. Her short spike was coated with a special poison that would quickly paralyze the victim and make them lose their ability to fight. Even the blood of a beginner origin energy warrior wouldn't be able to cure it.
When an Origin Energy user cultivated, their blood would be modified. Ordinary poisons and diseases wouldn't be able to penetrate their blood. From this perspective, Origin Energy users had a much longer lifespan than ordinary people.
However, not only had Ding Meng not fallen, he had even stood up. Little Rascal hadn't spouted nonsense. The strength of the Diamond Star Technique was far beyond what others could imagine. Even Ding Meng himself didn't know about it.
However, Ding Meng knew one thing: the woman in front of him was too dangerous. If she didn't die, he would die. Ding Meng endured the pain and pounced again.
Julie pushed off the ground with one hand and also flew up. Her leg swept out like a bamboo pole. Even an arrow at the end of its flight was still a strong arrow. The remaining power of a high-level Origin Energy user couldn't be underestimated.
Unfortunately, her trump card had already been exposed. Ding Meng couldn't fall for her trick again. When the short spike on her high heels swept over, Ding Meng's hand blade arrived first, cutting into her ankle like lightning.
This attack was out of Julie's expectations, because she didn't even feel any pain. When she fell, she found that Ding Meng had used the momentum to spin horizontally a few times in the air, accompanied by a dark golden light that was spinning along with her.
It wasn't until Ding Meng fell that she saw clearly what that light was.
At this moment, Julie's pupils contracted.
