Zhi Yan said, "It seems like I have no choice but to admit that it was provided by the Alliance."
Ding Meng said, "You're wrong. It wasn't provided by the Alliance, but by you. After they took it, they secretly poisoned the king. Only the two of them had the chance to get close to the king because he trusted them too much."
Zhi Yan said in a low voice, "And then?"
Ding Meng said, "Once you took over King City, the two priests naturally had to go to the mining area. I'm guessing that the king didn't know at first, but when he realized that you were attacking the Tree of God, he naturally followed. Other things aside, the mining area was heavily guarded. Without your permission, how could the king have walked to the pool area? He happened to be in the middle of the pool, and he died from the poison. All of this is too much of a coincidence."
Zhi Yan said, "You can say whatever you want."
Ding Meng sneered, "Of course. Now that almost everyone is dead, you've basically achieved your goal. If I provide you with energy, I'm afraid I'll die even faster."
Zhi Yan sighed. "Sometimes, it's not a good thing to be too smart. Do you know that if a person can be a little more muddle-headed, they can live longer?"
As he said this, Ding Meng was already on full alert. As expected, the other five suits of armor shot out five white energy beams at almost the same time, heading straight for his head.
Ding Meng quickly raised his hand and used the Diamond Starfusing Art. He opened his palm and caught the five energy beams.
In the eyes of the five soldiers, Ding Meng was definitely going to die. It could be said that he would be reduced to ashes in two seconds at most. However, five seconds had passed, and Ding Meng was standing there perfectly fine. Instead, the five soldiers felt like Ding Meng's palm was like a bottomless pit that was constantly devouring their technology.
Ding Meng looked at Zhi Yan and sneered. "Unfortunately, I'm not the two priests, and I don't want to end up like them."
Zhi Yan was also a little surprised. He immediately said in the channel, "I didn't expect this kid to be so good. Increase the attack."
"Boom!"
The five energy beams immediately became thicker, and the light became brighter.
"Chi chi chi —"
"Chi, chi, chi …"
The increase in attack power also meant that the energy input would increase exponentially. It was not that the Diamond Starfusing Art could not absorb such a huge amount of energy. The main reason was that Ding Meng's current smelting energy came from Shenguang Biotechnology's energy. Crystal energy was relatively low-end, so absorbing too much would not benefit him.
Thus, Ding Meng's palm instantly formed a pupil of light that kept on expanding. It was just like the pupil of light that had killed the high priest. When it expanded to a certain extent, it would spontaneously explode. Anyone who was in the middle of it would definitely die.
"I'll let you have a taste of your own power!" Ding Meng held the Luminous Pupil with his left hand while punching it with his right fist.
The [Flame Penetrating Force] hit the surface of the pupil and stopped. The penetrating force vibrated inside, and at this moment, the energy inside the pupil was activated. The pupil shot out countless "energy raindrops" in the opposite direction. The situation was like a particle laser cannon sweeping wildly at the battle armor.
Clink clink clink clink — — —
"Chi chi chi chi chi — —"
The five soldiers did not expect Ding Meng to be able to control the energy of their attacks. They were all caught off guard and were shot in the chest.
Ding Meng was not burned. Instead, there were many scorched marks on the battle armor. The five soldiers immediately stopped shooting and raised their shields to block.
It would have been fine if they hadn't raised their shields, but as soon as they did, Ding Meng flew up and swept out with her foot. The 30-meter-diameter light pupil quickly flew into the sky and exploded with a boom. The five warframes were immediately sent flying.
At this moment, the four crystal balls of the Toad Battle Armor were once again fully charged. The scimitars once again flew out like a torrential rain, disorderly and chaotic as they hurtled towards Ding Meng.
Ding Meng was already prepared. The Catoptric Deflection sword on his belt automatically popped out and turned into a sharp cross-shaped blade that spun rapidly to form a disk in front of him. This time, the scimitars were not blue with the explosive effect, nor were they red with the cutting effect. Instead, they were a strange dark green.
The moment the scimitars hit the disk, they exploded into a cloud of green with a hint of black mist. This was clearly a poison gas bomb. Unfortunately, Zhi Yan had the wrong idea this time. Ding Meng had the gene body of the K-Virus that was immune to all poisons. Therefore, even though the cloud of black smoke was slowly growing larger, Ding Meng's aura did not weaken at all.
Zhi Yan fired for a full minute before stopping. It was probably because of the two consecutive rounds of bombardment that caused the energy to be unable to keep up with the pace. This time, the firing time was shorter. Even so, the explosion produced a large cloud of poisonous gas.
The poisonous gas did not dissipate. Instead, it slowly faded until it disappeared.
Seeing that Ding Meng was still standing there unscathed, Zhi Yan and the others were quite surprised. From the moment Ding Meng entered the square, he had not even moved a single step.
With a swoosh, the sharp cross-shaped blade transformed back into a greatsword and returned to Ding Meng's hand. Ding Meng said expressionlessly, "Is that it?"
The five Mechs that had been sent flying regrouped. Three alloy greatswords, one energy sword, and one vibration blade slashed towards Ding Meng in unison.
Ding Meng waved his hand and the first three greatswords were broken in half. Energy swords could not cut through anything, so when Ding Meng swung his greatsword, he twisted his body and staggered. With a Thomas Roundhouse Kick, he swept the wrist of the Mechs. The energy sword immediately changed direction and stabbed towards the vibration blade on the side.
The two Mechs obviously did not expect Ding Meng to be so strong. In a panic, they quickly retreated. Taking advantage of this opening, Ding Meng used Transient Steps and suddenly flashed behind one of the Mechs. He then swung his greatsword backhandedly.
The greatsword directly pierced through the Mech's shoulder and almost removed the entire mechanical arm. The Mech Warrior's reaction was not slow at all. After being ambushed, he quickly turned around and punched back. There seemed to be a layer of electromagnetism on his fist.
This punch was definitely not going to hit, because Ding Meng immediately retreated. When his fist hit the ground, a thick electric current swam on the ground like a snake and exploded towards Ding Meng.
Both sides were competing in speed. Before the electric current hit, Ding Meng had already leaped into the air and performed his signature "Fish Leaping Over the Dragon Gate, Backhand Chop" in mid-air. His chop was not only ferocious, but also quite tricky. It would not cut anywhere else but the shoulder that had just been injured.
With a muffled sound, the Mech Warrior fell to the ground.
Seeing their comrade fall to the ground, the remaining four Mechs once again swarmed up. This time, Catoptric Deflection turned into four short swords. Under the effect of telekinesis, the swords flew towards the four people in a circle, making "ding ding ding" sounds.
This kind of long-distance sword manipulation was much more difficult to deal with than ordinary opponents. This was because the swordsmanship was completely out of the ordinary. There was no pattern to it, so it was very difficult to judge its momentum. The principle was the same as Seven Star Ghost Kick. Moreover, the Mechs were obviously at a disadvantage when fighting against each other. Catoptric Deflection was incomparably sharp. With just a few swings, the alloy shield was cut in half. As the swordsmanship was fully unleashed, the steel plates on the Mechs were constantly falling off.
At this moment, Zhi Yan had to make a move even if he did not want to. He had already seen that the kid in front of him was many times stronger than the dwarf priest. If he did not get rid of this big trouble, there would be endless trouble in the future. Therefore, he decisively jumped up and attacked Ding Meng with the most standard punch.
The power of this punch was also extremely strong. Not only was the sound of the punch sharp, but there seemed to be a layer of light yellow plating on the glove. It was probably something like the "Source Steel Shield" of the Steel System. Before the punch arrived, the force of the punch arrived first.
"Bang!"
Ding Meng met the punch with a punch. Similarly, he used the "Penetrating Flame" technique first. The air instantly exploded, and the airflow that was stirred up was so strong that it was faintly blowing up people's faces.
Then, the two fists collided. "Bang!" There was an explosion. This time, the air did not explode. Instead, it twisted like a vortex before fiercely exploding.
"Pa! Pa! Pa!"
The two of them both took a few steps back.
Xiao Ai said in a low voice, "His Mech's conversion rate has already exceeded five times. It is not recommended to fight a battle of attrition."
Ding Meng secretly nodded. This Zhi Yan was just as Kadiga had described. He really did have some strength.
He did not dare to underestimate Zhi Yan, but Zhi Yan did not dare to underestimate him either. Just now, it seemed that they were evenly matched, but in reality, he had secretly suffered a great loss. The reason was very simple. The protective plating on the glove had already shattered without a trace. If he did not have the Mech's armor, that punch would have been enough to seriously injure him.
Ding Meng waved his hand again. The Catoptric Deflection merged back into a large sword and flew back as if it had grown eyes. If he wanted to deal with Zhi Yan, he had to first destroy his Mech.
Once the Catoptric Deflection returned, the other four people were freed. However, the four Mechs were already covered in wounds. There were small cuts all over their bodies. The damage was estimated to be more than 65%. They basically had no combat power left.
However, the four of them were not satisfied. They did not retreat even after being forced to retreat. Instead, they surrounded Ding Meng again.
Ding Meng did not move. Seeing that the four of them were about to reach him, Ding Meng suddenly opened his mouth and spat out a thick black fog. This was the poisonous gas that Zhi Yan had used to attack him. He had secretly absorbed the poisonous gas and had been holding it in his throat. He had been waiting for this opportunity.
Because there were many cuts in the Mech's armor, it was very easy for air to enter. Even if there were emergency measures in place, they would not be able to stop it in time. Thus, as soon as the black fog was spat out, all four Mechs were hit without exception. They collapsed one after another in just three seconds.
His telekinesis vision could clearly see that the moment the Origin Ability users inside the Mech's armor came into contact with the poison, their throats began to crack. They did not even have time to scream before their facial muscles began to fester and rot. In the blink of an eye, they were reduced to a pile of white bones. The poison took effect even faster than the Treants. After all, the Treants had lived in the Divine Forest for many years, so they could more or less resist the poison. However, the Origin Ability users in the Divine Wars Star Field had almost no resistance to poison.
The four Mechs lay on the ground. They were now completely empty shells. Ding Meng said calmly, "I told you to have a taste of your own medicine. I didn't expect your poison to be so powerful!"
Zhi Yan stared coldly at Ding Meng. He had lost four of his six subordinates in an instant, and the other two Mechs were heavily damaged. He was now the only one left. This kid in front of him could not be defeated by technological weapons or melee weapons. He was also not afraid of facing him head-on, and he was also immune to poison. This was a classic example of a decathlete. If he did not use his ultimate skill, he would have been defeated today.
Xiao Ai decisively said, "Be careful. I detected that his Mech has gathered a very strong energy source. He's probably charging the weapon system again."
