This was another famous scene of the Storm Gathering. The sky was clear, the ocean was vast, and the sun was shining down on the beach. Ding Meng maintained the posture of a reclining Buddha, his hands gripping tightly onto the pure white blade.
Ling Xingqi swung her blade furiously in the waves. Before the blade landed on Ding Meng's face, it had already cut through the water and evaporated the beach.
At this moment, time seemed to have stopped, and the scene seemed to have frozen. Everyone's hearts were in their throats, and many people didn't even dare to look. This scene was too nerve-wracking, and they felt like their hearts were about to explode.
Because Ding Meng was supporting himself with one leg, his strength was concentrated on his palm, so his center of gravity was unsteady. Thus, the situation that many people were worried about happened. Ling Xingqi's high boots swept directly at Ding Meng's ankle. Once Ding Meng fell to the ground, everything would be over.
"Thump — — —"
This muffled sound made people's hearts jump, because the high boots had undoubtedly swept Ding Meng's ankle. However, Ding Meng didn't fall, and his body only trembled slightly.
Ling Xingqi was also a little surprised. How was this kid's lower body so stable?
"Whoosh — — —"
The high boots swept out again, creating a brilliant splash. The second kick also swept out, but Ding Meng still didn't fall.
Upon closer inspection, Ding Meng's sports shoes seemed to have a layer of faintly glowing plating. He had obviously guessed Ling Xingqi's intentions and was already prepared.
Of course, an expert like Ling Xingqi wouldn't give you a third chance. The high boots were instantly wrapped in a ball of silver light, and mercilessly swept out. This time, you will fall.
As soon as the light came into contact with the plating, Ding Meng was swept away like a piece of paper by Ling Xingqi's kick. He tumbled through the air and landed far away.
No matter how hostile she was towards Ding Meng before, Ling Xingqi was sincerely impressed by Ding Meng's skill. If you couldn't sweep him with your first kick, that was because he was already prepared for your second kick.
The second kick swept across the plating. That was because he deliberately concentrated his Origin Energy on his ankle, making you mistakenly think that he was going to risk his life to resist.
As for the third kick, he didn't want to block it at all. He was waiting for you to release him with this kick. He was risking injury to resolve the crisis in front of him.
You, Ling Xingqi, did send Ding Meng flying with a kick, but he used the force of the kick to send himself flying, so your saber couldn't kill him.
This kind of resourcefulness, this kind of adaptability, and this kind of strategy could not be achieved by someone who had not experienced countless life and death situations. Only now did Ling Xingqi realize that so many experts had fallen to Ding Meng's hands in the past for no reason at all.
However, he had to pay a huge price to take this kick. As Ding Meng was sent flying, Ling Xingqi swung her saber at the seawater. The seawater split open at a speed visible to the naked eye, revealing the dry sand underneath. A formless, transparent energy flowed through the cracks towards Ding Meng.
"Boom!" With a loud explosion, a 20 meter deep hole was immediately blasted open on the beach, and Ding Meng was directly lying in the hole.
The split seawater closed up again, and the crater was submerged. Ding Meng was buried underneath.
"It's over, it's really over this time!"
“5555！”
"Is my favorite crazy big brother going to stop in the top 16 just like that?
55555！”
"Why are you crying? Boss won't die so easily!"
"But he's gone. He's been killed by the explosion!"
"F * ck your mother …"
…
The fans wailed, but Ling Xingqi did not move. She knew that Ding Meng would not be killed just like that.
However, Ding Meng's aura had weakened by a lot. She was very satisfied with this, because she knew that this number one enemy, who was once so strong that the elders of the Ling Family despaired, was finally going to die in her hands today.
With a splash, Ding Meng came out of the water and stood up shakily.
The transparent saber aura that Ling Xingqi had released with her saber had indeed severely injured him. The eight origin points had all dimmed, and their operating speed had also been halved.
"You can surrender now!"
This was what Ding Meng had said to Fang Lin in the previous match. Now, Ling Xingqi decided to return the same words to Ding Meng, so as to avenge Aunt Fang.
If you don't take the initiative to surrender, then you will be humiliated. Now that there are more than 1.8 billion people watching this match, to be humiliated in front of 1.8 billion people is too shameful.
Ding Meng stood up straight and took a deep breath. Then, a strange smile appeared on his face. "You're overthinking it!"
Ling Xingqi glared at him. "Your aura is too weak right now. Do you have to force yourself?"
Ding Meng shook his head. "No, you don't understand, and you won't understand!"
Ling Xingqi frowned slightly.
Ding Meng said seriously, "You've only learned the surface. You haven't grasped the true essence. Today, I'll show you what true unparalleled power is."
Ling Xingqi suddenly felt a scorching current rush toward her. The surrounding temperature suddenly rose, and when she looked down, she found that the seawater was emitting dense white steam. Ding Meng's aura was rising rapidly again, and energy was gathering once more.
Upon closer inspection, she discovered that this aura wasn't coming from Ding Meng's body. Instead, it was coming from Ding Meng's palm.
What was going on?
Ling Xingqi immediately raised her guard.
What she didn't know was that the butterfly mark on Ding Meng's palm had been activated in the form of a divine light singularity. This was the transfer of spatial refinement to his palm. Although Ding Meng didn't have any divine light weapons, nor did he use any Ai Ji cultivation methods, he hadn't used the essence of spatial refinement. Now, in order to deal with a powerful opponent like Ling Xingqi, he had no choice but to use it.
Ding Meng placed his palms together in front of his chest. Then, he slowly pulled his palms apart as if he was pulling an invisible ball of energy.
However, this invisible ball of energy still took shape in the end. All of the screens were once again replaced by a blinding white light.
Ten seconds later, the blinding light dissipated. More than a billion viewers were shocked to discover that a blade of light had also appeared in Ding Meng's hand. It was the complete opposite of Ling Xingqi's battle blade. This was a short blade, and its entire body was curved in a strange way.
Dai Yi and the others were immediately excited. This was the enlarged version of the hero's knife. Even Ding Wenhe, who was watching the battle from the research facility, revealed a look of excitement. She knew the meaning of this knife the best. It was the Blade of Faith that had been passed down through the generations. The hero's knife signified that it was invincible, undefeatable, courageous, and never retreating.
In fact, this was also an invisible knife that had been refined from the Space Smelting God's Light Essence. It was not as good as a real God's Light weapon, but now that it had taken shape, Ling Xingqi naturally knew what it meant. This meant that the energy within his body had reached a state where it could grow and multiply endlessly. It was enough to support the shape of a knife. This was the realm that all Origin ability users dreamed of reaching. Ding Meng had actually kept such a trump card.
At this moment, the feeling that Ling Xingqi was most familiar with and most fearful of appeared. Ding Meng's aura began to increase exponentially. All ten origin points were fully activated. Origin ability index: 100 billion points, 120 billion points, 140 billion points, 160 billion points … Finally, it stopped at 200 billion points, and this was even before he used his diamond origin points.
"Good, I've finally forced you to use all your strength!"
Ling Xingqi's face was flushed red. It was obvious that she was very excited. Finally, the moment of the final battle had arrived. She wanted to defeat Ding Meng fair and square. She wanted Ding Meng to be convinced!
With a "hualala" sound, Ling Xingqi's clothes fluttered. Similarly, a new round of energy was gathering. Her entire body began to emit a strong white light, and in the blink of an eye, she became a person made of light.
This was the transformation that would occur to Origin ability users after their God's Light equipment had been fully activated. Ding Meng had also undergone this transformation before, but Ling Xingqi's "person made of light" was not a pure human figure. Her entire body was indeed overflowing with white light, but the outline of her face, the lines of her body, and the edges of her clothes could still be vaguely seen. This was like a person in a painting, a goddess drawn with a white pen on black paper. Although it was not vivid, it was beautiful in its own way.
Ling Xingqi could be considered to have garnered a lot of attention during this Storm Conference, but in Ding Meng's eyes, Ling Xingqi's Origin ability index had also soared all the way to 200 billion points. This meant that she truly had the ability to challenge Ding Meng.
Ling Xingqi was in high spirits. She once again raised her sword and pointed it forward. "This is true unparalleled power!"
Ding Meng did not reply. He casually waved his sword. This was more like the action of pulling out a sword. However, at that moment, Ling Xingqi's consciousness suddenly became a little dazed. This was because Ding Meng had always been known for his masculine style. However, this action of his was so light that it seemed a little feminine.
However, now was not the time to think about this. She also did not have anything to worry about. She flew out and directly slashed her sword at Ding Meng.
Each slash of her sword was stronger than the previous one. With this slash, the surrounding beach immediately turned into a sandy beach. There was no longer any seawater. The seawater had all evaporated, and the sword was no longer a sword. It was like a river of stars from the Ninth Heaven that rolled towards Ding Meng. Sand and stones were sent flying along the coastline, and the wind swept away the clouds. This was how magnificent a God's Light martial artist was.
Ding Meng suddenly flew up and suspended in midair. Then, he gently pulled out his sword.
Yes, everyone did not see wrong. This sword was not swung out, but pulled out. It was like a woman pulling away the veil at the head of a bed.
The curved short sword suddenly whooshed out a series of mirror images. It was as if countless crescent moons had formed a huge whirlpool that rolled back towards Ling Xingqi.
Ling Xingqi immediately sensed the aura of this energy blade. These crescent moons were faintly discernible. It was as if you were investigating an Origin Ability user who was stronger than you. The opponent gave you an unfathomable feeling. This was clearly Ding Meng's ultimate move. She could not easily take the risk.
Ling Xingqi decisively changed her strategy. She retracted her long sword and quickly spun it, turning it into a disk to block the attack.
"Ding ding ding." A series of rapid sounds rang out. The crescent moons collided with the disk and immediately exploded. It was as if the air was exploding. It was like bubbles bursting, creating a sound similar to a sonic boom.
The force, the range, and the sound made people think that a starship would have been shattered if it had been in the middle of the explosion. The most important thing was that this series of crescent moons had actually forced Ling Xingqi, who had taken the initiative to attack, back a hundred meters.
The distance was not far, but in a battle of this level, even a single step back would mean that one was at a disadvantage. A hundred meters away meant that one could only defend.
Ling Xingqi was also shocked. She realized that Ding Meng's sword skills seemed to be even more profound because she had never seen such a sword skill before.
