As soon as Su Mingling showed her weapon, the rudder's arm also changed. After a burst of black smoke, two long and thin brown scimitars appeared in his hand.
The scimitars were like enlarged versions of Hero's Dagger, but they were not on the rudder's arm. Instead, they were worn on the rudder's arm. It was as if the arm was the scimitar, and the scimitar was the arm. Also, the blade was constantly emitting a faint black smoke. It was obvious that it had been tempered with poison.
As soon as both sides summoned their weapons, they started fighting without saying a word. In Ding Meng's vision, a black light and a red light were entangled together. "Ding Ding Ding Ding" sounds of weapons colliding rang out incessantly. Under the night sky, the shadows of swords and sabers danced like snowflakes.
Su Mingling dared to challenge Ding Meng for a reason. She was a typical Assassin of the Light Speed class. Her speed was top-notch, and the unique structure of Tai Chi allowed her to perform many exquisite moves. For example, the rudder was waving his scimitars left and right. Not only could Su Mingling use the fan-shaped blades to parry, she could also use the short sword to stab forward in an instant. She could truly defend and attack at the same time.
Ding Meng thought to himself, So she's confident because of this pair of weapons.
Xian Yuan said in a low voice, It's useless. You couldn't beat him 100 years ago, and you still can't beat him 100 years later.
Sure enough, after more than 20 rounds of clanging and clanging, Xie Feili also joined the battle. He did not have a weapon, so he pushed out more than a dozen swords with Scorching Battle Engravings from his palms. It was as if more than a dozen weapons surrounded the rudder and bombarded him indiscriminately. The rudder was also forced to retreat.
Ding Meng did not join in because Lan Bing and the others had returned to the hill. The psychic model turned from blurry to clear again. Ding Meng sent a telepathic message: Don't come near. Wait at the foot of the hill.
Eisendale also sent a telepathic message: There is a large amount of poisonous energy from the World of Devourer surging in this direction. They will arrive in at most ten minutes.
Ding Meng nodded. He also knew that if an expert like the city leader came to find them first, then a large number of monsters from the Devouring World would sweep over this place.
Xian Yuan said, "Later, as long as you force the city rudder to reveal its immortal aperture, we can use it to escape. However, with your strength, it might take some time to tame it. Now, I'm just afraid of the human fleet in the sky."
Immortal Element's worry was not without reason. The various control areas on the mothership no longer watched the battle and began to get busy again. The reconnaissance radar was being upgraded.
The staff reported, "Sir, we can't transmit real-time images. We can only accurately determine the coordinates."
Haodong pondered and said, "Inform the vanguard to bring back Officer Lu Ting and the other injured people."
The staff hesitated. "But the people of Shenghao Group are still on the ground. According to the general rules of the Federation, we are obliged to recall them."
This was the humanitarian law of the Holy Grail Federation. Whenever they encountered an alien enemy, they had to prioritize rescuing humans. It stood to reason that the people of Shenghao Group should also be recalled.
However, at this time, Ling Xingwen gnashed her teeth and said, "Ignore them. Ding Meng has connections with outer space forces. He might even be connected to the Devouring World. Wanted criminals are not covered by the humanitarian law."
The staff did not dare to say anything. The second daughter of Xing Hong Group had always been strong and domineering. Few people dared to refute her. However, this statement was obviously unreasonable. How could human Origin Ability Users collude with the Devouring World forces?
Unfortunately, Haodong did not express his opinion. "Let's bring Officer Lu and Senior Lin back first."
Three minutes later, a positioning light spot appeared in the open space on the south side of the mountain peak. The light spot quickly expanded into a teleportation array. Lu Ting supported Fang Lin and walked toward the teleportation array with difficulty, while Jia Dao crawled on the ground with difficulty.
"Huh?" Ding Meng glanced behind and saw that the three of them wanted to escape.
Xian Yuan seemed to know what he wanted to do. "Ignore them. These two people of Shenghao Group are almost done."
Ding Meng turned his head and carefully observed the battle in the center of the open space. Xie Feili and Su Mingling had been fighting with the city rudder. Neither side used any special martial arts skills. It felt like they were wearing each other down.
Xian Yuan explained, "They're wearing each other down. They must have fought with people from the Sacred Clan before. They know that using powerful martial arts skills will not only have no effect on the enemy, but will also backfire on them."
Ding Meng nodded. The energy fluctuations in the air became more and more distorted. It was shockingly similar to the arm blades that the city rudder wielded. It felt like the air was also cooperating with the city rudder's every swing.
At this time, Xie Feili and Su Mingling's movements had slowed down. It felt like they were running out of energy. Ding Meng naturally saw the trick. The two of them were not weak, but they were in the middle of the poison field created by the city rudder. Most of their Origin Energy was used to resist the poison. If they were fighting in the desert, Ding Meng had no doubt that with Xie Feili and Su Mingling working together, the city rudder would fall in at most five minutes.
This was the advantage of the Devouring World. If they fought in their own territory, Origin Energy users would not be able to feel it. However, when Origin Energy users fought against them, their disadvantage was obvious. This was equivalent to having their combat strength reduced by two-thirds. At this rate, even someone as strong as a Wargod would be like a beginner Battle-Saint fighting against a Sect Master. The chances of winning were really low.
Suddenly, there was a soft "dang" sound. Su Mingling floated back more than ten meters. When she landed, her footsteps were somewhat unstable. The Origin Energy in her body was spinning chaotically like a whirlpool. She felt a lump of air stuck in her throat, and it was very uncomfortable. She couldn't help but open her mouth and spit out something.
She thought that she would spit out blood, but it turned out to be a black mist. It was obvious that she had unwittingly been poisoned.
"Mingling!" Xie Feili was shocked. While he was distracted, the city rudder's two blades slashed at him.
"Ding ding ding ding — — —"
More than ten origin energy blades in the air were immediately shattered. The powerful energy wind arrived in the blink of an eye.
Xie Feili quickly pulled his palms together, and a large ball of fiery-red energy appeared in front of him. The Holy Flame Formation formed a disk to block the energy wind.
With a loud "boom", the Holy Flame Formation was unable to withstand the pressure of the energy wind and was immediately shattered. Xie Feili retreated more than ten meters and floated to Su Mingling's side, where he stood motionless.
His expression seemed to be quite calm, but Ding Meng could see through his telekinesis vision that Xie Feili's body was also filled with a large amount of black mist. He was just an arrow at the end of its flight.
Ding Meng was somewhat curious. "What kind of poison is this?
It's so powerful?
Even a Battle-Saint can't withstand it? "
Xian Yuan sighed. "I haven't come out in a hundred years. I don't know what kind of poison it is."
Seeing his two powerful opponents being forced back, the city rudder raised his arms and laughed loudly. "I already said that you're a bunch of losers. You're not worth mentioning. Hehe, do you still have the ability to stop me?"
But at this moment, the Curved Shadow Teleportation Formation had already disappeared. The city rudder sneered. "Since you want to cover your comrades' retreat, I'll start with the two of you."
Speaking of which, it was quite ironic. Fang Lin and the other two were able to safely enter the Teleportation Formation because of Xie Feili and Xian Yuan. Now that Xie Feili and Xian Yuan were injured, the military's positioning light was no longer showing up.
Su Mingling tried the communicator in her ear, but there was no signal. She couldn't help but show an ugly expression.
Xie Feili obviously also noticed the problem. The patrol fleet had turned off the communicator. If they wanted to escape, they could only retreat towards the town.
"Do you think you can still escape?" The city rudder grinned as he raised his saber and rushed forward like a ghost.
Suddenly, there was a blur in front of his eyes, and a figure appeared like a ghost. Its speed was even faster than his, and it directly blocked his path.
The city rudder sized up Ding Meng. "Kid, it's not your turn yet. Why are you in such a hurry?"
Before he came, he had carefully sensed that this young kid's aura was the weakest in the group, so he didn't take him seriously. But now, it seemed that this kid's aura hadn't increased by much.
Ding Meng couldn't be bothered with him. He turned to the two people behind him and said, "You two should go. While there's still a chance, you won't be able to escape later."
Xie Feili and Su Mingling were both stunned. They didn't understand what this meant. They were here to kill Ding Meng, but Ding Meng was now helping them block a powerful enemy.
Ding Meng sighed as if he was talking to himself. "Lan Bing is right. When Xinhong Group was targeting me, Sheng Hao Group extended an olive branch. You two should go. From now on, Sheng Hao Group and I are even."
Although it was Lan Bing who had recruited him, The Prince's Frog was still a product of the Sheng Hao Group. It was worth hundreds of billions of dollars. No matter what, Sheng Hao Group had helped him. If he let Yu Wenshu, Yu Anjie, Xie Feili, and Su Mingling go, and the Sheng Hao Group came to find trouble with him in the future, then they would have to fight head-on seriously.
Xie Feili seemed to understand Ding Meng's thoughts. He took the initiative to cup his hands and said, "Little friend Ding Meng, I will always remember this friendship. Be careful. Mingling, let's go!"
After the two disappeared on the mountain path, Ding Meng turned to look at the city rudder. "You seem to be very confident."
The city rudder wasn't in a hurry, because the army was about to arrive. This place would soon be flooded by the tide of poisonous swamps. "Kid, they seem to be here to deal with you, right?
But you're taking the initiative to die for them?
You're quite interesting. "
Ding Meng couldn't help but laugh. "You really think I'm here to die?"
The city rudder looked at him contemptuously. "Other than wanting to die, I really can't think of any other reason. Since that's the case, I'll fulfill your wish. Bear with it for a while. It'll be over soon. It won't hurt."
The two of them were about twenty meters apart. Ding Meng just stood there leisurely, as if he had no intention of making a move. Even his aura was only at the level of a War Reverend.
Of course, the city rudder wasn't stupid enough to think that Ding Meng was just a War Reverend. He stared at Ding Meng for a while, then suddenly charged forward. This time, his speed was even faster than when he and Xie Feili had fought. It was like a black fog had turned into a sharp arrow and pierced towards Ding Meng. He was confident that even if Ding Meng was a High Level Battle-Saint, he wouldn't be able to dodge it.
