In the square, a slender woman was standing against the wind. She was wearing a black and green tight-fitting intergalactic fashion, which made her look both spirited and attractive. This person was Dai Yi, whom he had not seen for a long time.
"Ding Meng, you're finally back. I've been waiting for you for seven years." Dai Yi looked very excited.
Ding Meng did not dare to be careless at all. He did not know whether this Dai Yi was real or fake. He spread out his psychic vision. The waves on Dai Yi's body were not obvious. She was only an intermediate War Venerable, which was reasonable. After all, when Ding Meng left the Holy Grail Federation, Dai Yi was only an intermediate Warrior. It was reasonable for her to become a War Venerable after seven years.
Dai Yi ran over cheerfully and said in an even more excited tone, "Ding Meng, I knew you wouldn't die. They all said that your survival rate in the space jump was less than 1%, but I knew you wouldn't die so easily. I've been waiting for you to come back..."
"Stop!" Ding Meng said decisively and stared at her coldly. "Who are you?"
Dai Yi was stunned. "Ding Meng, don't you recognize me?"
Ding Meng said coldly, "I know you're Dai Yi, but you're definitely not the real Dai Yi."
Dai Yi's eyes turned red. "Ding Meng, have you forgotten me?"
Ding Meng did not bother to talk nonsense. The Catoptric Deflection sword at his waist flew out and turned into a long sword in the air, slashing at Dai Yi's head.
Dai Yi jumped in fright and quickly retreated.
However, the long sword did not chase after her. Even if Ding Meng knew that this Dai Yi was a fake, he could not bear to attack the mirror image of Dai Yi. In his past experience, Miss Dai had been a great help to him.
Dai Yi's expression changed as expected. She became cold and gloomy. "You are indeed ruthless. You even dare to kill your own woman."
Ding Meng raised his long sword and said coldly, "Stop pretending. Who are you?"
"Hehehehehe!"
Dai Yi suddenly lowered his head and let out a burst of strange laughter. This sinister laughter made people tremble.
In the next moment, Dai Yi's appearance began to change. After a series of contortions, the beautiful and moving Dai Yi turned into a hale and hearty white-haired old man. He had an imposing appearance, his eyes were spirited, his expensive suit was well-tailored, and his shiny leather shoes were spotless.
Ding Meng's heart sank. This person turned out to be Chu Ming Liang. This time, he had truly met a formidable opponent.
Chu Ming Liang's demeanor was still calm and steady. "Long time no see, Ding Meng."
Ding Meng didn't answer. He wasn't sure if this was Chu Ming Liang or the Water Droplet from before because his telekinesis vision could no longer detect the depth of this person's cultivation. Chu Ming Liang's body exuded an extremely strong wave of energy. This was not the aura of a warlord.
However, Chu Ming Liang seemed to know what Ding Meng was thinking. He took the initiative to say, "If you think that I am a duplicate energy body, then you are wrong."
Ding Meng stared at him. "Are you not?"
Chu Ming Liang smiled. His smile was terrifying. "I am Chu Ming Liang."
Ding Meng flatly denied. "Impossible!"
Chu Ming Liang said, "I was indeed swallowed by the Water Droplet, but I exist in your memory."
Ding Meng said, "So what?"
Chu Ming Liang said, "The people who exist in your memory can be perfectly resurrected here."
Ding Meng sneered. "Are you saying that Chu Yifeng, Julie, and the others that I just killed were all real people?"
Chu Ming Liang said, "I know it is hard for you to believe, but this is the truth."
Ding Meng sneered. "I will never believe such nonsense."
Chu Ming Liang sighed. "Do you know how many people have died in this place?
It doesn't matter if you don't know. Let me tell you, the number of spirits that have died here and then been trapped here is uncountable. Any one of these spirits can become an identical person after being injected with their memory. "
Ding Meng really couldn't understand this explanation, but he didn't intend to ask. He could already tell that even if this Chu Ming Liang in front of him wasn't the real Chu Ming Liang, there wasn't much difference between him and the real Chu Ming Liang.
Chu Ming Liang continued, "This is a forbidden area. Outsiders are not allowed to enter."
Ding Meng said, "But I still came in."
Chu Ming Liang said proudly, "You were able to come in because of the weapon in your hand and the mark on your forehead. Otherwise, your memory would have been erased at the entrance and sent back to your starship."
Ding Meng said, "It seems that you know everything."
Chu Ming Liang said, "I will give you a chance now."
Ding Meng said, "Oh?
A chance? "
Chu Ming Liang said, "Give me your weapon and your mark, and let me erase your memory of us. I guarantee that your starship will return safely."
Ding Meng sneered again. "You're dreaming!"
Chu Ming Liang's face sank. "You don't understand how dangerous the Miao Xing's spirit mark and the weapon of divine light are. These things don't belong to your human world. They will only bring disaster to your human race."
Ding Meng said expressionlessly, "You mean to say that you want me to surrender?"
Chu Ming Liang said seriously, "Yes!"
Ding Meng said, "When have you ever seen me surrender?"
Chu Ming Liang's face changed. "It seems that I will have to teach you what it means to surrender."
Ding Meng had already been on high alert. Since he had been sent to this place, it wouldn't be easy to get out of here.
Even though he was mentally prepared, he was still caught off guard. Chu Ming Liang's figure was still in the same place, but his palm landed solidly on Ding Meng's chest.
This strike was like the fall of heaven and earth. Ding Meng was sent flying, blood spewing from his mouth. This strike was too fast and too sudden. There was no time to react. The six origin points in his body almost stopped spinning.
With a bang, Ding Meng fell to the ground.
Chu Ming Liang rubbed the edge of his palm and said, "You should know that in the face of absolute strength, you don't even have the right to resist."
Ding Meng didn't answer. He secretly spread out his telekinesis vision, narrowing his field of vision to a range of thirty meters and forming a translucent force field. This was an anti-gravity force field. There was no other purpose. His speed was not on the same level as Chu Ming Liang's, so he had to slow down the flow of time to see Chu Ming Liang's movements.
After getting up, Ding Meng stabilized the first six origin points, then secretly rotated the remaining eight origin points.
"Hmm?"
Chu Ming Liang obviously felt it too. He raised his head slightly in surprise. "I didn't expect your strength to improve so much in the past few years."
As he spoke, his whole body moved again. However, this time, under the effect of the anti-gravity force field, Ding Meng could see his movements clearly.
Chu Ming Liang used the Holy Tiger Sun Palm. There was no source energy release, no form change, and not even a trace of fluctuation. It felt like an ordinary palm. However, it was precisely because there was no such thing that Ding Meng felt scared. He didn't believe that Chu Ming Liang's attack was child's play. He was afraid that this was the Returning to True Realm of martial arts. The Returning to True Realm meant returning to the original state. You might think it was ordinary, but in fact, it was unfathomable. It was just that you couldn't see it.
Sure enough, in the face of Chu Ming Liang's attack, Ding Meng used all his strength to attack with both palms. A straight man would always fight head-on. I won't play tricks with you.
Boom! Bang!
A large crater appeared in the center of the plaza. Countless rocks and sand flew into the air. These rocks and sand were actually ignited by the shockwaves from the collision of the two palms. Fire rained down from the sky like a tide.
Ding Meng and Chu Ming Liang both retreated a large distance. Both sides had been forced back.
Chu Ming Liang's eyes were filled with surprise. Wasn't this kid an intermediate warlord?
How was he able to withstand my palm?
Ding Meng was also shocked. Back on Planet Bramble, Chu Ming Liang had been an intermediate Battle-Saint. It was only because he had swallowed a water droplet that he had used a backlash to reduce his strength by half. Thus, at that time, Chu Ming Liang had only been a pure Battle-Saint. Others couldn't sense his true strength.
But now, Ding Meng could feel it. Although this palm strike seemed to be evenly matched, he had actually suffered a great loss. Chu Ming Liang's Origin Energy was obviously stronger than his, and the residual power of his palm was completely above his own.
Both of them were Thermodynamics users, so a clash of Origin Energy would not produce a suppressive effect. However, Chu Ming Liang's Origin Energy had stimulated the Origin Energy in his body to circulate wildly. This was not a healthy circulation because it was extremely chaotic and violent.
Ding Meng clenched his fists. After circulating his Origin Energy to its limit eight times, this violent energy was finally suppressed.
Chu Ming Liang said in surprise, "I've been away for three days, but I'm really looking at you in a new light. You're not bad, kid."
Ding Meng would not sit and wait for his death this time. He changed from being passive to active. He flew out and directly struck out with a Flame Rushing Punch. He knew that when facing an expert, he had to use simple martial arts because they required the most proficiency.
"The ignorant are truly fearless." Chu Ming Liang did not dodge. Instead, he raised his fist and met the attack head-on.
There was an earth-shattering explosion. For experts of their level, the surrounding environment could not withstand the destruction of such power. With Ding Meng as the epicenter, the ground was completely torn apart, and a large crater was formed as soon as his fist struck out.
This time, the one who suffered was Chu Ming Liang. This was Ding Meng's old trick. When the Rushing Punch was used, it would penetrate the opponent and force them back. However, when Chu Ming Liang slid back, Ding Meng would use a backhand punch, and the explosive force landed solidly on Chu Ming Liang's chest.
The power of this combination punch would have turned Ge Ping, Fu Zhonghui, and the others into a bloody mist on the spot. However, Chu Ming Liang's chest was pulled back, and his entire body slid back across the ground until he was more than forty meters away. Only then did his right heel fiercely stomp on the ground.
"Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
Boom! "
Several explosions occurred in the plaza behind him. Countless flaming raindrops once again sprayed into the air. This guy was actually able to guide Ding Meng's power into the ground.
Of course, this kind of guiding technique naturally had its flaws. By the time he steadied himself, a blazing, sharp sword Qi had already enveloped him from above.
Ding Meng leapt high into the air, and the sword form of Catoptric Deflection slashed furiously at Chu Ming Liang.
The sword had not yet arrived, but the sword had already slashed out with a fiery, crescent-shaped sword light. This was definitely not a real sword light. It was definitely Origin Energy that had been released.
Ding Meng could even use his weapon to release Origin Energy. He really could not underestimate him. Chu Ming Liang also rapidly increased his Origin Energy, and his arms pushed out to meet the sword light.
