Yu Wenshu continued, "There's something I have to thank you for. Thank you for being merciful and sparing Xiao Jie's life."
Actually, Ding Meng had not planned to let Yu Anjie go in the beginning. However, when he saw how mad Yu Anjie was, his killing intent had mostly dissipated, so he did not make a move in the end.
Ding Meng laughed coldly. "I killed your disciple and stole Yu Anjie's woman, and you're thanking me instead?"
Yu Wenshu waved his hand and said, "You naturally have to pay the price for your lack of skill. Your woman ran away with another man, so you have to reflect on the reason. However, none of this is important."
Ding Meng muttered to himself, "The world is full of people, and everyone is here for the sake of profit."
Yu Wenshu smiled. "Very good. You're a sensible person. No wonder you can live until now."
Ding Meng said, "The reason I can live until now is not entirely because I understand things."
"Understood!"
Yu Wenshu nodded calmly. "Luck is one factor, but personal strength is the deciding factor."
Ding Meng said, "What are you trying to say?"
Yu Wenshu said, "I don't mean anything else. I just want half of what you have."
Ding Meng laughed. "At the end of the day, you're the same as your disciple. You're also after the Holy Light Energy."
Yu Wenshu said seriously, "This request of mine is not unreasonable at all. It's also a good thing for you."
Ding Meng said, "Oh?
Let's hear it! "
Yu Wenshu said meaningfully, "You killed so many people from the Starbow Corporation and stole the energy from Ling Xingqi. Do you think Ling Zhixing will let you go?
You're now a Class A fugitive in the Federation. You can't go back to the Holy Grail Federation anymore. This is just on the surface. The Ling father and daughter's backup plan hasn't arrived yet. Are you sure you can escape unscathed? "
His words were indeed reasonable. It was fine if the Starbow Corporation made a move, but he was afraid that they would not make a move. This was the most worrying thing.
Yu Wenshu continued, "You having an affair with Lan Bing is a trivial matter for an old man like me. But young people are different. Young people are full of vigor, and what they can't tolerate the most is someone stealing their woman. Xiao Jie will definitely be in charge of Shenghao Group in the future. If you insist on having your own way, what awaits you will be endless masters from Shenghao and Xinghong. I also admit that you are excellent enough, at least among the younger generation, you are the best, but it doesn't mean that you can fight against the whole world alone."
Ding Meng said, "Sheng Hao and Xing Hong can't represent the whole world, right?"
Yu Wenshu pointed above his head. "Right now, the patrol fleet above Thousand Sails has already sealed off the planet, and the Devourer Legion is eyeing us covetously. Do you think you can escape?"
There was no need to ask this question. Even if Ding Meng was given a Void Spirit Ray, he might not be able to charge out.
Yu Wenshu said seriously, "But if you give half of the energy to me, the situation will be different."
Ding Meng frowned. "How will it be different?"
Yu Wenshu said, "First of all, you can resolve the grudge between you and Sheng Hao. At the very least, Sheng Hao will withdraw from this situation where so many great powers are surrounding you. Not only will he withdraw, but he will also provide you with help. After I get the energy and go out, I can tell everyone that you have been seriously injured and have gone missing. The crisis you are facing now will be temporarily alleviated. After that, you and Lan Bing can still return to Shenghao Group, or even enter the headquarters and become the focus of training. If you are willing, Shenghao Group is willing to organize your wedding with the highest standards."
Ding Meng sneered. "That depends on whether Young Master Yu agrees or not."
Yu Wenshu smiled. "Not only will he agree, but he will also sincerely give you his blessings!"
Ding Meng said, "Is he that ambitious?"
Yu Wenshu waved his hand and said, "How can a mere Lan Bing be compared to the Divine Light Energy?
I'm afraid he can still tell which is more important. "
This was also reasonable. Not to mention Yu Anjie, even if Ding Meng had to choose between the Divine Light Energy and Lan Bing, he would not hesitate to choose the former.
Ding Meng suddenly smiled. "After talking for so long, I almost believed you!"
Yu Wenshu stared at him. "Do I look insincere?"
Ding Meng smiled and said, "I don't know if you are sincere or not. I only know one thing. If you were me, I wouldn't do anything. I would just use my silver tongue to make you give me half of your energy. Would you be willing to do that?"
Yu Wenshu's face darkened. "I don't want to destroy a good seedling like you because you are young, promising, and talented. But if you don't cherish this opportunity, the Holy Grail Federation will have countless examples of young geniuses like you dying prematurely."
Ding Meng smiled. "An opportunity given by others is not an opportunity. It's called kneeling and begging for mercy."
Yu Wenshu sighed. "I thought you were a smart person. It seems that you are very muddle-headed."
Ding Meng also sighed. "From your tone, you seem to think that I am easy to deal with. Have you ever thought that it might not be difficult for me to deal with you?"
Yu Wenshu sighed softly and looked at the pool in the center. "It is understandable that young people are arrogant and despotic when they have a little bit of capital. But it depends on who they are being arrogant in front of. Sometimes, arrogance comes with a high price …"
Hearing this, Ding Meng was already secretly on guard. Since this Yu Wenshu had heard of him and was planning to make a move, his strength was definitely not weak. Especially since this old man was already a Battle-Saint a hundred years ago, who knew what realm he had reached after a hundred years.
Yu Wenshu was still hunched over with his hands behind his back. The black Tang suit on his body did not seem to fit at all. Suddenly, Yu Wenshu moved. His whole body left behind many afterimages as he floated towards Ding Meng in an extremely strange way.
This speed could not be described simply with the word fast. It was as if he was a black ghost floating in front of you in the blink of an eye. He had not made a move, but the aura on his body was enough to force Ding Meng to retreat.
"Pa, pa, pa, pa." A series of rapid sounds could be heard. Yu Wenshu, with his hands behind his back, gently bounced up. In the air, a pair of cloth shoes continuously kicked at Ding Meng's front dozens of times. His movements were extremely steady and elegant, and he vaguely had the demeanor of a master.
Every time he kicked, Ding Meng was forced to use his palms to block. Every time he blocked, he had to take a step back. Moreover, Ding Meng felt a faint pain in his palms. Other things aside, this person's physical fitness was not inferior to his.
After Yu Wenshu landed, he smiled gently. "Not bad. You are much stronger than my three disciples."
Ding Meng had already retreated dozens of meters. Only then did he carefully size up this legendary figure of Sheng Hao. The origin energy that the old man was using should be both body hardness and heat, but it was mainly the heavy and solid energy of the hardness system. Moreover, his foundation was extremely solid. Even Battle-Saints like Eisendell could not compare to this level of solidity.
This was yet another powerful opponent that he had never encountered before. Ding Meng braced himself and secretly operated the anti-gravity force field. This old man was extremely fast and had already surpassed him.
"It's not too late to repent now!" Yu Wenshu laughed.
The word "repent" did not exist in Ding Meng's dictionary. He waved one hand, and the Catoptric Deflection immediately transformed into a large sword. He rushed forward and slashed diagonally.
This sword light was the same as the light from Loana's wrist blade. It was so fast that it dazzled the eyes. The strong light flashed back and forth, and Yu Wenshu's mirror image was either split in half or cut in half. However, this was only a mirror image and not the real body. The real body still had his hands behind his back, flashing everywhere in the sky and on the ground. There was only the sword light in the palace, but no one could see the real body.
Ding Meng also stopped after slashing more than ten times. Yu Wenshu nodded in satisfaction. "Good warm-up. Show me what you've got. Let me see if you are qualified to keep the Divine Light energy."
Ding Meng withdrew his large sword and secretly operated the first three points of origin. Then, he quickly flew forward. No matter how strong his opponent was, he would let him have a taste of the power of the Ding style hand blade first.
Probably because he sensed Ding Meng's aura suddenly skyrocketing, Yu Wenshu finally stopped smiling. He raised his left hand and extended his index finger. A cold star flashed on the tip of his finger. Then, he casually flicked it forward, and the cold star flew toward Ding Meng's face.
Not good!
Ding Meng felt the terrifying energy contained in the cold star halfway through his flight.
With a clang, the golden diamond shield was instantly activated. The originally ordinary cold star suddenly turned into a golden diamond-shaped electric net halfway through its flight. This was obviously an electromagnetic-type martial arts technique.
"Crack — —"
The electric net wrapped around the shield and quickly tightened. The shield actually shattered in an instant.
Seeing that the electric net was about to strangle his body, Ding Meng suddenly stretched out his limbs and shook his body violently. The "Overlord's Mountain-Crushing Power" formed a spherical force field that swayed in all directions.
Not only was the electric net shaken out of existence, but the entire palace was collapsing again and again.
As the palace collapsed, Ding Meng was surprised to find that Yu Wenshu had disappeared. He had truly disappeared. Even his telekinetic vision could not capture his presence.
What was going on?
Or was this some kind of martial arts technique secret manual?
Suddenly, the mound under his feet split open. Another cold star flew toward him. This time, it was too late to react. The cold star hit Ding Meng's feet and turned into an electric net to strangle him.
Ding Meng suddenly rushed forward. The tip of Yu Wenshu's foot fell from the sky and kicked nothing.
By the time Ding Meng turned around, Yu Wenshu's real body had disappeared with a whoosh. Indeed, he could not sense his aura or locate him.
This was obviously some kind of powerful secret manual that could allow a person to truly hide.
This situation was somewhat similar to the dream he encountered when he came down. Could this be a martial arts technique that could plunder the Devouring World?
After all, Yu Wenshu had participated in the war a hundred years ago. It was normal for him to know these strange things.
Ding Meng suddenly sat cross-legged on the pile of rocks and closed his eyes.
His intention was obvious. He could not see Yu Wenshu, but as long as Yu Wenshu attacked him, Yu Wenshu's aura would reveal his location.
Yu Wenshu could either stay invisible forever and not attack, or wait for his strong counterattack.
