Gu Yu's landing posture was also quite strange. It was the most primitive left foot kicking back and right fist punching downwards.
To be honest, this posture was very ancient. Even the students in the academy would not use this posture when practicing martial arts, but Gu Yu had used it to attack.
His landing was very slow, and the speed of his punch was not fast, but Ding Meng could not dodge it.
"Boom — —"
Ding Meng's left shoulder was hit, and he could no longer see his entire body. All that could be seen was a large wave of red and yellow energy surging in all directions.
The power of this punch was not to be underestimated. Even Sheng Tianming and the others were sent flying and fell far away like dead dogs.
Lu Qing, Jun Ling, Liang Yi, and the others were still fine. They were only forced back a few steps, but they were also very surprised. If the aftermath of a punch was like this, they did not dare to imagine what it would be like to take a punch head-on.
When they turned their heads again, they saw that Ding Meng's body had only tilted slightly. His injured left shoulder fiercely shook forward, and an invisible wave of energy was also sent flying back.
"Ding!" A crisp sound rang out.
Gu Yu's reaction was very fast. He quickly raised his right arm, and a butterfly-shaped layer of plating appeared on his forearm. This was obviously the "Origin Steel Shield", and it was in front of him in time to block Ding Meng's "Overlord's Mountain Crushing Force". Even so, he was still forced back a few steps, and the butterfly shield was full of cracks.
Gu Yu stood still, looked at Ding Meng, and then lowered his head to look at the steel shield on his arm. He finally showed an expression of disbelief. This was an attack from an origin ability user who was not even 25 years old?
Even five minutes ago, he thought this was a fantasy, but now, he was really looking at Ding Meng.
Actually, he wasn't the most shocked. The ones who were the most shocked were Xi Wen and the others. Right now, the steel plates beneath Ding Meng and Gu Yu's feet had caved in slightly. It was clearly caused by the force of their punches and vibrations.
This was made of nano-chrome-porcelain mixed with 256 yuan super alloy. Even the starship's neutron beams could not penetrate it, but they were actually able to deform it.
Xi Wen and Dong Yi suddenly exchanged glances secretly. Their meaning was obvious: I'm afraid the command center has to give up. This place will definitely be affected. There are too many examples of gods fighting affecting mortals.
Little Rascal suddenly said, "Ding Meng, you have to be careful. You've run into a real tough nut this time."
Ding Meng nodded slightly. How could he not know?
Gu Yu's earlier actions of floating, pushing, and punching seemed as childish and laughable as a fight between elementary school students. However, it had already revealed a lot of information to Ding Meng. This Gu Yu was a Battle Monarch who had combined the Thermodynamic and Toughness Systems into one. His actions seemed simple, but the effects of confinement, high temperature, and sturdy shield were truly rare. Ding Meng dared to say that this person was far above Chu Ming Liang.
Xiao Ai said, "There's one more thing you can't overlook. Although he's one of Sheng Hao's people, based on his techniques, he should be from the Empire, a human true martial artist."
Ding Meng actually understood this point. During his time in the Norse Empire, as well as after he obtained the Blue Spirit Technique, he clearly understood that the experts of the Empire were very different from the experts of the Federation. The Origin Ability users of the Federation paid particular attention to martial arts and level of cultivation. In layman's terms, they were very entertaining when they fought, and there were all kinds of dazzling effects.
Meanwhile, the Origin Ability users of the Empire paid more attention to the cultivation of raw strength. Simply put, their foundations were very solid, and they had a very deep foundation. Any casual move they made would have earth-shattering effects.
Thinking of this, Ding Meng came up with a strategy: I can't let this guy drag things out. The longer I drag things out, the more dangerous it will be.
"You're at least two hundred years old this year, right?" Ding Meng suddenly asked out of nowhere.
Gu Yu's eyes revealed a look of praise. "Good eyesight!"
Ding Meng said seriously, "I can go with you!"
Gu Yu frowned but didn't reply.
Ding Meng pointed at the main hallway. Su Yalun was standing at the entrance, her figure somewhat stooped. She had been injured quite badly by Ding Meng's hand chop.
"I want this woman!" Ding Meng said.
"No problem!" Gu Yu stared at him closely. "She's yours now. You can use her however you want."
Ding Meng said, "Okay, let's go now …"
Actually, he didn't even say the word 'go' because this was one of his old tricks. He would purposely distract you and wait for an opportunity to strike.
This time, he didn't choose a backhand chop. Instead, he charged straight at Gu Yu. He raised his hand and unleashed a Rushing Punch. Due to the Origin Energy in his entire body, from a distance, it looked like a thick red light was flying straight at Gu Yu's face.
"Flame Energy Rushing Punch" was one of the Norse Empire's most commonly used and classic techniques. When he saw Ding Meng use it, Gu Yu didn't underestimate him. Instead, the look in his eyes grew even more serious.
BOOM — — —
Another explosion rang out. Many of the steel plates on the ground were lifted up by the force of the explosion, flying in all directions.
At this moment, casualties began to occur. Many of the workers in the back didn't have time to dodge, and many of them were caught off guard. They were either smashed into meat paste by the steel plates or sliced in half. The crowd was thrown into chaos.
A layer of Origin Substance had already appeared on Gu Yu's body, while Ding Meng's body began to emit a formless wave of heat. The two of them were engaged in a fierce battle in the main hall. Only sounds could be heard, but no one could be seen. All that could be seen were countless steel plates being lifted up, the walls being destroyed, and the light screens being extinguished one by one. The control system had obviously been damaged.
Not long after, most of the people in the command center had retreated. Apart from Ding Meng and Gu Yu, who were still engaged in a fierce battle, only Jun Ling and Lu Qing remained. Their concerns were reasonable. Even though Su Yalun and the burly man at the entrance were injured, they were still capable of fighting. In addition, from the looks on their faces, it felt like they were about to pounce at any moment.
Suddenly, a bolt of electricity as thick as an arm struck the ground. The electricity also flipped over the steel plates and exploded vertically towards Su Yalun at the entrance.
Su Yalun naturally reacted. She immediately activated her Dark Ice power to create a massive wall of ice in front of her. Unexpectedly, this bolt of electricity split into several smaller bolts of lightning. The bolts of lightning seemed to have grown eyes as they attacked together, shattering the wall of ice like a tornado.
At this moment, the bolts of lightning merged back into one and once again shot towards Su Yalun.
To be able to cultivate an electromagnetic-type technique to such a level, there was no doubt that this person was a Warrior-level expert. Su Yalun turned her head and saw that Liang Yi was grabbing at the air with one hand. It was obvious that he was controlling this bolt of lightning from a distance.
"Careful!" Ding Meng's voice suddenly rang out.
The bolt of lightning had clearly struck Su Yalun, but for some reason, it was bounced back at her at a much faster speed. Upon closer inspection, it turned out that a butterfly-shaped shield of Origin Substance had caught the bolt of lightning and guided it back towards Su Yalun.
While Gu Yu was engaged in a fierce battle with Ding Meng, he was still able to find the time to help his subordinate.
The tough-type technique was originally focused on defense, so when the bolt of lightning struck the shield, the small shield shattered in a few hits. However, the Origin Energy fragments produced by the explosion shot towards Liang Yi like flying daggers.
Liang Yi had never seen such a miraculous use of Origin Energy before. For a moment, he was stunned in place.
At this critical moment, a figure pounced on him from the side and pushed him to the ground. However, the Origin Energy flying daggers didn't stop there. They continued to fly towards Jun Ling's face.
Jun Ling subconsciously used the dagger close to her body to block. With a loud "boom", the dagger shattered into pieces. The flying daggers exploded, and Jun Ling was sent flying.
Liang Yi fell to the ground, still in a state of shock. The person who had just caught her was Su Lingyue. Su Lingyue's calf had been cut by the flying daggers, and the wound was so deep that the bone was visible. At this moment, she was curled up on the ground.
"Xiao Yue!" Liang Yi turned pale with fright. She had never imagined that Gu Yu would be this strong.
On the other side, Jun Ling's situation was even worse. The explosion had obviously injured her internal organs. When she was sent flying, she spat out a mouthful of blood. Fortunately, Lu Qing had reacted quickly and rushed forward to catch her.
However, Ding Meng was enraged when he saw this scene. He quickly activated his eighth origin and clasped his hands together to form a fist, smashing it towards Gu Yu's head.
"Boom — — —"
This time, it wasn't as simple as an explosion. The steel plates on the ground were all deformed. Moreover, with Ding Meng as the center, a ring of Origin Energy and the Overlord's Mountain Crumbling Energy vibrated. Half of the hologram in the command center was directly extinguished.
Amidst the sandstorm, Gu Yu's entire body was completely shattered. Even though he had caught Ding Meng's fist with his palm, he was smashed to the point where he was forced to kneel on one knee. Furthermore, he was even sliding backwards. Ding Meng's explosive fighting strength had caused his internal organs to tremble.
"Pu — —"
Gu Yu, who was kneeling on the ground, also spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Officer!
Officer Gu! "
Su Yalun and the burly man both exclaimed as they ran over. One had to know that Gu Yu was an intermediate Battle-Monarch, ranked 198th on the Holy Grail Federation's Martial Artist Ranking. He was an all-powerful expert, yet he was actually injured by a brat like Ding Meng.
The detection system on Su Yalun's low-light glasses was activated once again. A series of conspicuous Arabic numbers were constantly changing. Finally, the string of numbers stopped at: 135,500,000 points!
"Si — —" Su Yalun couldn't help but suck in a breath of cold air. She was really shocked to the point that she was numb. The system showed that Ding Meng's origin ability index was 135,000,000 points. This was the strength of a beginner Battle-Monarch.
This 25 year old brat was actually a Battle-Monarch. No matter if it was in the Federation or the Empire, there was definitely only one such person. There had never been such a terrifying character in history.
Gu Yu waved his hand, indicating for the two to step back. He stared at Ding Meng and wiped the blood from his mouth. He slowly stood up. Just now, he had already underestimated Ding Meng. Now, he had underestimated him again. Everything should be done thrice. If he made the same mistake a third time, then it wouldn't be as simple as just being injured.
In Ding Meng's telekinesis vision, Gu Yu's entire body was also emitting an invisible flame. The raging fire wrapped around his entire body. This time, he didn't use the 《Source Steel Shield》 because the ground was completely melted and turned into a light yellow color. This was the result of the metal system's source energy completely spreading out.
The entire command center was completely lit up. It was like a golden world, dazzling everyone.
Everyone was still curious, but Ding Meng suddenly shouted, "Let's go, let's get out of here!"
