"Ding!" A crisp sound rang out.
Zheng Lang saw clearly that the war hammer had hit the ice sculpture's heart squarely.
De Sheng was confident that he would not miss. He had trained hard for 14 years to become one with his hammer. He could even smash a hole in a starship, let alone a body of flesh and blood.
The problem was that the sound was a little strange. It did not sound like it had hit a human body, but rather, it sounded like it had hit some kind of alloy steel plate.
De Sheng and De Sheng looked at each other. Their eyes were full of surprise because Ding Meng's aura was still there. Although his aura was neither stronger nor weaker, it proved that Ding Meng was still alive. However, these two moves were already their limit.
Suddenly, the ice sculpture let out a loud crack. All the layers of ice were shattered into pieces. De Sheng, who was in front of Ding Meng, was also thrown into the air by the impact.
An oversized golden diamond appeared. It was a shield created by Ding Meng's Diamond Star Art. It was only a mirror image of the diamond and not the exquisite crown. However, the mirror image completely protected Ding Meng's real body.
Crack! The diamond suddenly separated from Ding Meng's body. After flying a few meters away, it exploded into countless golden specks of light with a bang. Then, without warning, Ding Meng struck at the specks of light with his palm.
"Whoosh —"
Tens of thousands of specks of light instantly turned into a glittering galaxy. Under the violent force of his palm, everything within a hundred meters in front of Ding Meng was drowned. It was like a flood passing through. Nothing was spared.
This move was the "Thousand Ice Tide" that he had learned from the Giant Roc of the God War League. However, the real "Thousand Ice Tide" could only be used by a master of the ice attribute to exert the effect of dispersing everything and freezing the enemy. Ding Meng's "Thousand Ice Tide" was just a facade.
However, this was enough because the heat index contained in each star was in the millions. When such a large torrent gushed out, it was actually equivalent to a magma eruption. Its true power was even more terrifying than magma.
Half a minute later, a hundred-meter-long, five-meter-wide, ten-meter-deep tunnel was carved out of the large open space. The entire tunnel was burning.
De Sheng lay lifelessly in the tunnel. His lower body was completely gone, and his upper body was charred. Zheng Lang was slightly stronger, and his condition was relatively better. At least his four limbs were still intact, and there was still a trace of weak aura on his body. However, his entire body had been blasted open, and his flesh was badly mangled.
"You … What exactly are you …" Zheng Lang was still unable to catch his breath. His body tilted and fell into the tunnel.
Ding Meng gently waved his hand, and the Catoptric Deflection turned back into a belt and attached it to his waist.
At this time, he gently opened his mouth and spat out a golden gas. This was the energy produced by the Origin Energy Battle Hammer.
The moment he was frozen by the dark ice energy, he was not completely unharmed. De Sheng, a beginner Battle-Saint, was still very strong. When the battle hammer smashed into his heart, he felt that his Origin Energy was not circulating smoothly. It was inevitable that he would be injured if he forcefully resisted. At that moment, Ding Meng activated his Diamond Shield and absorbed part of the battle hammer's energy into the Smelting Space. This was the final counterattack.
When all was said and done, De Sheng had been defeated by his own ultimate technique twice.
At this moment, Jin Tai and the other four ran down from the third floor. They had witnessed Ding Meng's entire battle. Of course, they could only see the effects of the explosions. In any case, after a series of earth-shattering explosions, everyone in the base had collapsed.
"Mr. Ding Meng, are we safe?" Tian Guo asked timidly.
Ding Meng realized a problem. If they used the Star Moon to return, the possibility of being exposed was very high. After all, it was a probe ship from Starbow. It would definitely have a special positioning device on the intranet. If they continued to stay here, it would be even more dangerous. Perhaps the higher-ups of Starbow had already been alerted.
Suddenly, a white dot appeared in the middle of the empty space. The white dot shot out many rays of light. A cylindrical force field was forming.
Ding Meng quickly raised his guard. This was a Warp Shadow Transmission. Someone from the outside world had accurately located this place. It looked like someone wanted to activate an instant transmission.
"Everyone, back off!" Ding Meng decisively reminded them.
However, after the Warp Shadow Transmission took shape, there was no one inside. Instead, something familiar appeared — Ghost Eyes!
Divine Light Technology's transmission array!
Ding Meng almost cried out in surprise. This was the Divine Arrow Spaceship that had located this place!
At the same time, the Warp Shadow Transmission Orb in the middle also emitted a dazzling light. It looked like it was about to open up the star orbit and accept a new spaceship.
Ding Meng did not hesitate any longer. He called for everyone to rush into the transmission array.
He immediately realized that the Divine Arrow Spaceship must have located this place from space. Why did they use the Warp Shadow Transmission Orb first? Little Rascal and the others did not want to expose Divine Light Technology. Even if someone checked this place afterward, they would only find traces of the Warp Shadow Transmission Orb.
With a whoosh, the huge force field quickly shrunk into a dot of light. Ding Meng and the others had been transmitted away.
Three minutes later, a new transport spaceship appeared in the bright and dazzling star orbit. The spaceship did not land on the tarmac. Instead, it created a new round of Warp Shadow Transmission Orb and positioned itself on the empty space.
This force field was clearly much larger in scale. A large group of about 20 people surged out of the cylindrical object of light.
The man in the lead rushed out to take a look. He was clearly shocked by the scene of corpses strewn all over the place. He did not think anyone would dare to commit such a massacre in Starbow's territory.
After using his telekinesis to scan the area, the man ordered in a low voice, "Bring down the eighth-generation medical cabin, quickly — —"
He himself quickly rushed into the tunnel and helped Zheng Lang up. First, he poured a few bottles of exquisite medicine that he had brought with him onto Zheng Lang's body. Then, he pressed down on Zheng Lang's chest and poured in Origin Energy.
After struggling for three minutes, Zheng Lang's pale face finally regained a trace of color.
"Old Zheng, what's going on?
We just received your alert! "The man's expression was ugly, but he was more bewildered than anything else.
Zheng Lang was still very weak. "Brother Zhong … … you're here!"
The person who had come was none other than Ling Xingqi's general, Zhong Huazheng. Back in Blue Pole Star City, he had tested Ding Meng's strength by exchanging blows, but he had suffered a loss.
Now that Zheng Lang had spoken, Zhong Huazheng was shocked once again. He used his telekinesis to inspect Zheng Lang's body. Then, his heart sank. This Starbow Corporation's Beginner Battle-Saint had actually been crippled.
It could not be said that Zheng Lang was completely crippled. Zheng Lang's talent was above average, and he had cultivated for two hundred years before he could step into the ranks of Battle-Saints. In the Starbow Corporation, he was considered a highly respected and hardworking individual. However, more than half of Zheng Lang's core origin had been extinguished. Even if he could be saved, he would only be able to reach the Battle-Saint level. The price that he would have to pay to recover his Battle-Saint level was something that could only be imagined.
"Who did it?" Zhong Huazheng was furious.
Zheng Lang panted and said, "Sheng … … Sheng Hao Corporation's Ding Meng!"
"Ding Meng?" Zhong Huazheng's eyes burned with anger. "How dare he touch Young Miss' people?"
Zheng Lang said, "Ding Meng took away the poisoned samples."
Hearing this, Zhong Huazheng's heart sank even more. The children of those doctors were taken away. This seemed to be an insignificant matter, but for the young lady, the overall plan would be greatly affected because of this. It was possible that she would have to redraw the plan.
The reason was simple. If the technology to construct the Poison Hazard Star's core origin could not be mastered, then the base on Planet V10 could not be built. It was fine if it could not be built, but now that Ding Meng had appeared here like a ghost, the base on Planet V9 would be exposed in a week at most. Once it was targeted by the Sheng Hao Corporation, this base would become useless.
It could be said that from the moment Ding Meng appeared, if Zheng Lang and the others could not kill Ding Meng, then this base would have to be prepared to move. How could this damned Ding Meng be so naughty?
He had hit the vital point of their side in an instant.
Zhong Huazheng suddenly felt a headache coming on. He now understood why Young Miss treated Ding Meng so courteously back then, holding a banquet and apologizing to him. This kid did not enter the mainstream of the upper echelons' attention. To be precise, no one in the upper echelons of Star Rainbow would care about the existence of this small fry. However, this guy had caused a big mess for them this time.
This Ding Meng should indeed be taken seriously!
While he was still having a headache, Ding Meng and the others had already been teleported far away. The moment the white light disappeared, although everyone was still in the dark, after seeing their surroundings clearly, Jin Tai and the others cheered. "We're back, we're back!"
This was the dilapidated base on Planet V4. They were now in the open space under the central tree. Jin Tai and the others had grown up here. Although the poisonous fog lingered around, this was their true home.
Especially this super big tree, the wooden house that was originally built here was still there.
While Jin Tai and the others were cheering, Ding Meng's telekinesis immediately detected someone walking over from the forest. He could not help but exclaim in surprise, "Big Sis!"
The person who had come was indeed Ding Wenhe. Ding Wenhe also let out a sigh of relief when he saw him. "Thank God, you're alright!"
Ding Meng could not help but ask, "Where's Little Rascal Xin Jie and the others?"
Ding Wenhe looked at him somewhat reproachfully. "You shouldn't have taken the risk alone."
Ding Meng asked tentatively, "You all know?"
Ding Wenhe said, "As soon as the Star-Moon spaceship entered the Pandora system, it was immediately captured by the Divine Arrow spaceship's surveillance system. Everyone's every move on the spaceship was under our surveillance."
Ding Meng was stunned, but he quickly felt relieved. With the powerful technology of the Divine Arrow spaceship and Xin Jie's hacking skills, it would have been a piece of cake for them to achieve this.
Ding Wenhe said, "We guessed that you were going to the secret base on Planet V9, but unfortunately, we couldn't communicate with you. The spaceship's international space network was cut off, and only Divine Light Technologies could monitor it. Quantum signals couldn't connect, so Little Rascal and the others decided to go there personally."
Ding Meng said, "The Divine Arrow spaceship is currently on Planet V9?"
Ding Wenhe said, "It's too troublesome for me to explain it to you. Come with me. Once we get inside, you'll understand!"
