The snow-white space formed by the ice Origin Energy was like a transparent coffin. The ice streams within the coffin continued to gather, but Number 2 remained unmoving after he stood still. He opened his palm, and the jet-black scabbard spun rapidly in his palm, forming a black disc. The disc also seemed to release silk-like streams of black energy outwards.
When all the white streams of ice collided with the disc, they were immediately dispersed by the black Origin Energy and turned into nothingness. However, it was more like the two of them canceled each other out.
Not long after, all the ice Origin Energy was neutralized, and the disc stopped spinning. It spun in Number 2's hand and returned to his waist.
Ding Meng's eyes flashed. He realized that the way this person carried his sword was very strange. Under normal circumstances, martial artists would carry their swords diagonally from right to left on their belt. This was because it was convenient for the right hand to draw the sword. However, Number 2 was the opposite. He carried his sword diagonally from left to right on his waist. It seemed that this person's sword drawing style was unique.
After blocking Ji Chenxue's storm-like attacks, Number 2 grinned. "Is that it?"
Ji Chenxue's eyebrows rose and her face turned red. She looked angry, but she was actually afraid. Although the attack just now was not her limit, it was not far from it. The problem was that such a powerful attack had not forced her opponent to take the initiative to attack. She had not even been able to force him to draw his sword. Any Origin Energy user would know the difference between them.
Ji Chenxue glanced at Ding Meng from the corner of her eyes. Her intention was very clear. Naturally, she hoped that Ding Meng would attack, and it would be best if the two of them worked together. However, Ding Meng just stood there and did not move. The reason was very simple. Sometimes, the thoughts of an iron-willed man would be selfish. You two should fight first. It would be best if both of you were injured. In the end, I would come and pick up the scraps.
Ding Meng was not the kind of person who would help someone just because they were a peerless beauty. Even if Ji Chenxue was humiliated by Number 2 in front of him, he would still be indifferent. Too many experiences in the past had taught him that the best choice at this time was to stand still.
Seeing that Ji Chenxue was stunned, No.2 couldn't help but sneer. "Since you're gone, it's my turn."
It was impossible for Ji Chenxue to sit still and wait for her death. She flew out once again. She understood the principle of striking first to gain the upper hand. This time, she did not use any fancy moves. She simply swept her leg out with a forceful kick.
This was a solid foundation. The high-heeled shoes had completely transformed into a rainbow-colored light. Not only was the light distorted, even the surrounding scenery seemed to be distorted. This mass of energy was so pure that it was not inferior to a starship missile.
However, in the next instant, the jet-black scabbard appeared in No.2's hand again. It began to spin again. This time, the shape of the spinning scabbard was not a circular plate, but a black vortex. This vortex seemed to have an endless suction force. Not only did it dissolve Ji Chenxue's pure Origin Energy, it also firmly held her ankle in place.
Ji Chenxue was at a disadvantage this time because of her outfit. This kind of knee-length dress was really inconvenient for her to use close-range combat skills. Her exposed white calves were really fanciful. No.2 actually stretched out her nose to take a sniff. She couldn't help but sigh. "Mmm … fragrant …"
He was already very satisfied with the outside part of the dress. He wondered how beautiful the inside part of the dress would be.
The scabbard suddenly spun in a half circle. He tried to use the hilt to lift the bottom of his opponent's dress.
"Shameless!" Ji Chenxue was furious. She spun horizontally in the air and swept her other leg in the opposite direction.
When she moved, the view under her skirt was undoubtedly exposed. Especially from Number Two's perspective, he was the only one who could see it. Looking at his dumbfounded expression, he felt like he was about to have a nosebleed. While he was in a daze, Ji Chenxue's flying kick landed on his face.
"Bang — — —"
No.2 slid back ten meters before he could steady himself. He felt a burning pain on his face. He stretched out his hand and wiped it. It was blue-black blood. Ding Meng could clearly see that there was a shocking bloody mark on No.2's face. The strength of this kick was not to be underestimated.
"You dare to hurt me?"
No.2 was also angry, but then he put on a sinister smile. "From now until noon tomorrow, I will not rest. I want to torture you enough. No one can save you."
He crossed his elbows and suddenly waved them in front of him. A terrifying Black Dragon surged out and directly covered Ji Chenxue, who had just landed on the ground.
Ji Chenxue knew how powerful this Demons' martial arts technique was. She did not dare to take it head-on. Her whole body flew back diagonally and into the air.
Who knew that this Black Dragon Wave was the same as her Dark Ice Force. It was a feint. The real attack appeared above her head. Two black demon claws suddenly appeared in the air. Just like how No.2 waved his hand, the two claws separated and waved. It was as if the air had been torn apart.
This was the realm of the Demons. It was not something that a human martial artist could resist. A human Origin Ability user would probably be torn to pieces on the spot.
"Clang!" A strong sound rang out.
The whole lawn was lit up. Even the seawater seemed to be lit up.
An incredible scene appeared. An exquisite diamond shield covered Ji Chenxue's body. The Devil's Claw did not even shake the shield. Ji Chenxue, who was inside the shield, looked like an otherworldly fairy. Nothing could be more beautiful.
"A Divine Light martial artist?" No.2 and Ding Meng both showed surprised expressions.
Ding Meng was more surprised than No.2 because he saw it most clearly. When the demon claws were about to tear Ji Chenxue apart, the gem necklace on Ji Chenxue's neck was activated and created a diamond shield.
This was the Divine Light Necklace!
Ding Meng instantly came to this conclusion. However, Ji Chenxue's Divine Light martial arts technique was still very ordinary. She did not even have a crown-shaped shield.
No.2 sneered again. "So what if you're a Divine Light martial artist?
A toy will always be a toy! "
"Be careful —" Ding Meng had to warn them. He could ignore the national goddess, but he could not leave a Divine Light martial artist to die.
"Ding —"
This sound was so ear-piercing that it felt like their eardrums were about to burst.
"Boom!" A loud noise shook the sky. All the strong light disappeared, and everything returned to darkness.
Ji Chenxue, who was in mid-air, spilled a trail of blood as she fell and landed heavily on the lawn. There was a bloody hole on the left side of her abdomen. White blood was gushing out from the wound. Her abdomen had been completely penetrated.
Where was the diamond shield at this moment?
It had disappeared without a trace.
She knew that her opponent had drawn his sword, but how did the sword break her shield? Where did it come from? How did it hit her?
She knew nothing!
She could only feel a sharp pain in her lower abdomen. It felt like thousands of poisonous snakes were gnawing at her internal organs. The Origin was moving very slowly. This kind of pain was indescribable.
Then, these poisonous snakes seemed to have turned into thousands of burning red steel needles that gathered in her throat. It was very uncomfortable. Ji Chenxue saw stars in her vision. Her head felt heavier than a thousand pounds. She knew that this was a sign that she was about to faint.
She opened her mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood. However, this spat out also spat out the condensed energy. She fell down completely.
In a daze, she realized that a cool energy had entered her body. It slowly healed the injuries in her internal organs. This energy was so familiar. It was much purer than her own energy.
She looked up in surprise. She saw Ding Meng standing next to her. He looked at No.2 expressionlessly. The white light vortex in his palm was flashing faintly. Streaks of white light were spreading to her lower abdomen. Apparently, he was injecting energy into her.
Ji Chenxue's fearful heart finally calmed down. This was because she had been waiting for someone of the same kind. Ding Meng was also a Divine Light martial artist.
No.2 looked at Ding Meng with interest. "You want to ruin my plans?"
Ding Meng said, "I'm interested in the Empire's number one beauty. You don't stand a chance."
No.2 said disdainfully, "With your strength, you don't deserve to play with this kind of beauty."
Ding Meng's expression was thoughtful. He suddenly said, "You are not from the Hidden Front."
Number 2 revealed a surprised expression. "Eh, you're quite observant, kid."
Ding Meng continued to say something shocking. "This is not your real face either."
No.2's expression darkened. "Back on Rainforest Planet, I suggested to Lin Fei that we work with a few generals to kill you. In the end, he was too arrogant and let you go. Now, he has finally grown into a big problem."
Ji Chenxue did not understand what he meant, but the two of them knew. Back on Rainforest Planet, Ding Meng could not see through No.2's real face. It was not only because of the Hidden Front's mask, but also because his telekinetic vision could not see through his disguise. Now, Ding Meng could directly see that No.2 was still not showing his real face. This meant that Ding Meng had improved compared to three years ago.
Ding Meng said, "What kind of benefits did the Hidden Front boss promise you that someone like you is willing to work for the Hidden Front? I'm really curious."
No.2 smiled viciously. "You will never know the answer to this question. Wait until I kill you, then I will enjoy this woman."
Ding Meng stared at him. "Are you confident that you can kill me?"
No.2 sneered. "Nonsense!"
"You really are?" Ding Meng stared at him.
For some reason, No.2 actually felt a little guilty. Ding Meng's gaze was too deep, just like the vast and boundless universe. One would only know how insignificant one was when placed in the universe, just like dust. This was exactly what No.2 was feeling now.
This time, he slowly pulled out the black scabbard from his belt. His expression was very serious. It was obvious that he regarded Ding Meng as a real opponent.
Ding Meng did not underestimate him. The scene of No.2's attack just now had left a deep impression on him. He broke the shield of the Diamond Star Spell with one strike and severely injured Ji Chenxue. To be honest, if he did not come into contact with Ai Ji's techniques and possess the Sovereign's Mark, he would not have believed that there was such a terrifying Sword of Demons in this world.
No wonder Wen Yang said that he would make an exception and let him go. It turned out that he wanted No.2 to wait here. No one could avoid this place. Anyone who came into contact with the secrets of the Sovereign must die.
Ji Chenxue quietly crawled away. She crawled to a place far away. She could see that the confrontation between the two in front of her seemed peaceful, but it was actually a moment of peace before the final battle. When the real storm came, it would be earth-shattering and terrifying.
