Lone Star jumped to the center of the lake while Ding Meng rose to the top of the pillar. With his sword in hand, he stood alone at the top, as if the whole world was looking up at him.
Ding Meng waved his sword in place. After gathering his energy, he fiercely stabbed down. A classic scene appeared once again. Countless white sword lights appeared in the night sky like raindrops. The rain of swords lit up the night sky and also shocked everyone's eyes. It was like the vast and endless sea of stars in outer space. Stars fell, and the momentum was magnificent.
Compared to when he used it on the Expedition, this Crossing Sword Technique was many times more powerful in terms of scale and power.
Lone Star was not to be trifled with. In the center of the lake, he used all his strength and slashed out dozens of times. Dozens of Holy Light Walls appeared on the surface of the lake.
This time, the Wall of Holy Splendor was even thicker than the previous one. Each side was more than five meters thick, and when stacked together, it looked like a golden fortress. Flowing light flowed within it, and runes emerged. It was obviously a consummate skill.
"Boom!"
The explosion sounded like a single sound, but in fact, it was caused by the sword rain falling on the Holy Light Walls. It was so dense that it created a prolonged sound.
Strong light waves appeared in the air. Energy rippled like water, shaking the ground and mountains. It felt like the whole world was shaking.
However, anyone with a discerning eye could see that although Solitary Traveler's Wall of Holy Splendor was huge and thick, the sword rain was constantly encroaching on it. The thickness of the energy wall was becoming thinner and thinner. Solitary Traveler was almost unable to hold on any longer. Even the hand holding his sword was trembling.
Somantha sighed. "Looks like he's going to lose."
Ling Xingqi stared at the screen. "Not necessarily. Madam, look at Lone Star's feet!"
Somantha adjusted the view on the screen and realized that the collision of the two's sword rain energy walls in mid-air was indeed brilliant. However, the energy waves caused the sixteen giant pillars to faintly change colors. Furthermore, the lake water beneath Lone Ranger's feet did not evaporate. It was also changing colors and was constantly churning. It was as if a pot of boiling water was being boiled.
This was the Devil's Lake of the Devourer World. It also contained a huge amount of energy. If there were people from the Devourer World present, the energy waves could be used.
Just as she thought about it, the whole screen turned black. Only the explosion of the sword rain hitting the wall could be heard.
Something must have happened again.
This was the question on everyone's mind.
After a while, the scene returned to normal. The Wall of Holy Brilliance was gone, and so were the flying swords that filled the sky. Lone Ranger stood quietly on the surface of the lake with his sword in hand. Ding Meng also stood on top of the pillar and did not continue to attack.
Of course, Ding Meng was the only one who knew what had just happened. The sole of Lone Walker's boots had absorbed all the energy waves in the area. The lake was covered in black fog, and a chaotic, violent, and evil aura filled the area. But the process was very short.
It turned out that Du Xing was a hidden master of the Demons. He activated the Origin of the Demons in an instant and absorbed the energy of the Devouring World. This really surprised Ding Meng. However, he could figure it out. The warriors of the Divine Light were hidden all over the Federal Empire. So were the warriors of the Demons.
However, Du Xing hid himself very well. Others could not see his identity through the live broadcast. Only through the aura in the map could they tell that he was a warrior of the Demons.
This was the ingenious part of the map. Once they started fighting, the energy waves would spread in all directions. The Demon Lake would be filled with energy, and Du Xing could secretly absorb energy. In other words, Du Xing's cultivation of the Demons' martial arts might be different from that of Towering Sky Peak, Black Widow, Lin Fei, General Gong Ping, and Head of State Wen Yang. There was also the Hidden Front's An Ugly Woman 2.
This was also what gave Ding Meng a headache. The Demons had many types of energy, but the Divine Light only had one type. This Du Xing was not easy to deal with because Ding Meng had already discovered a problem. Du Xing quietly hovered in the middle of the lake, but there was no aura on his body. Not to mention Origin Energy, there was not even a trace of an ordinary person's aura.
What was going on?
Then, a strange scene finally appeared. Duxing disappeared with a swoosh.
This was not Transient Step or Blink. He had truly disappeared. Ding Meng spread out his telekinesis vision, but he could not even catch a glimpse of Du Xing's shadow.
The problem was that the System had yet to determine the victor. This meant that Du Xing had not lost and was still in the map. What kind of Demons' martial arts was this?
About thirty seconds later, Ding Meng, who was on the platform, suddenly dodged. A black shadow accompanied by a cold glint flashed past like a ghost.
Before anyone could see what was going on, Ding Meng dodged to the side again, and the black shadow followed by the glint of the sword once more.
"This is troublesome!" Suo Mansha suddenly said.
Ling Xingqi also stared closely at this strange scene. Ding Meng, who was on the platform, constantly flashed here and there, dodging all kinds of cold and fast swords as if he had eyes. Meanwhile, Du Xing's figure would suddenly appear and disappear.
Suo Mansha explained, "Demon Sect's Shadow Strike!"
Ling Xingqi asked, "What kind of martial arts technique is that?"
Suo Mansha said in a low voice, "It's actually an advanced version of the Demons' Cloak. It blocks all kinds of signal detection within an area, achieving true invisibility."
Ling Xingqi immediately understood. Du Xing was a Demons martial artist. After using this martial arts technique, Ding Meng could not detect his movements at all. However, when he was about to launch a sneak attack, he had to reveal his true form, so Ding Meng could detect him.
"Unorthodox!" Ling Xingqi said in disdain.
Suo Mansha stared at the screen. "But now, the situation is not in Ding Meng's favor."
It was indeed not in his favor. Ding Meng could sense that Du Xing was an omnipresent assassin. He would suddenly appear in all kinds of unexpected places and quickly disappear after launching a sneak attack.
At this moment, Ding Meng suddenly jumped up from the platform and dove into the lake.
Ling Xingqi frowned. "What is he doing?"
Suo Mansha's eyes flashed. She clearly did not understand Ding Meng's intentions.
After Ding Meng dove into the lake, the live broadcast became empty. Both of them had disappeared, and they could only lock onto Ding Meng's third-person perspective.
Ding Meng, who was underwater, suddenly raised his arms and opened his palms. A strong light shone from his palms, and the lake water boiled again. The sixteen pillars glowed again.
Suo Mansha was shocked. "He knows the Devouring World's martial arts technique?"
Ling Xingqi was not surprised. "It's rumored that the Immortal Element King is close to him. It's normal that he knows this."
Ding Meng was indeed activating the Devouring World's Sacred Lake Formation. Soon, the entire place was as bright as day. The lake's surface was surrounded by clouds, and all the light rays formed a rotating Tai Chi Eight Trigrams. The light rays illuminated the entire Sacred Lake.
Only then did Ding Meng slowly float to the surface of the water, floating in the center of the lake. Looking at his bright and spirited expression, he seemed to be silently saying, "Come, use whatever moves you have!"
At this moment, everyone understood that Ding Meng was deliberately waiting for Du Xing to launch a sneak attack.
Du Xing's sneak attack arrived very quickly. It was as if he had walked out from another world. He appeared behind Ding Meng like a ghost and stabbed his sword at the back of Ding Meng's head.
The sword pierced through Ding Meng's head, but Ding Meng's figure gradually dimmed. Meanwhile, Duxing's figure, who had pierced through by the sword, also slowly disappeared. Both of their cultivation levels in the Light Speed System were not weak. Right now, what the audience saw was that Duxing's sharp sword would pierce through Ding Meng's body in all sorts of ways every three seconds. Then, both of their images would disappear at the same time.
Du Xing stabbed Ding Meng more than ten times with his sword. Ding Meng kept getting stabbed and disappearing. There was no sound during the whole fight, but everyone was shocked to the core.
"Damn, this is even more exciting than watching a movie."
"Boss keeps getting killed. Damn."
"Those are all clones. I don't know where their real bodies are."
"If you're my brother, come and bite me!"
"So be it. Scram!"
"Does anyone want to eat chicken?
Let's team up! "
"Previous poster, 666!"
This was Du Xing's twentieth stab. His sword once again pierced through Ding Meng's shoulder. Just when everyone thought that this was a fake body, a "pu" sound came from Ding Meng's shoulder. The sword had actually pierced through his body, and blood dripped from the tip of the sword.
This stab had actually pierced through Ding Meng's real body, but Ding Meng did not fall. Instead, his whole body trembled, and the sword was knocked back.
Du Xing absolutely could not miss this opportunity. He fiercely stabbed his sword again.
With a crisp "pa" sound, Ding Meng actually caught the sword with his bare hands. To be more precise, he was holding it, but traces of blood seeped out from between his fingers.
Du Xing was overjoyed. This was his chance to kill Ding Meng. He pushed his Origin Energy to the limit, and the gleaming sword was quickly enveloped by a black fog. The sword had indeed turned into a demonic sword, and the black fog immediately spread to Ding Meng's arm.
At the same time, Ding Meng laughed strangely. "You've been tricked!"
Du Xing was shocked. He was shocked to discover that Ding Meng's palm had produced a boundless suction force. The demonic sword could not pierce through, and it could not be pulled back. This force was not Origin Energy, nor was it Divine Light's energy. It was also Demonic Qi. This was the energy produced by the Demonic Lake beneath his feet.
Wasn't Ding Meng a Divine Light cultivator?
How could he absorb Demonic Qi?
Had he absorbed the poisonous liquid from the Devouring Realm's Sacred Lake?
How could he be fine even after being struck?
Du Xing had no time to think about these questions because he discovered that all of the Origin points had spontaneously begun to spin wildly. All of the energy was wildly pouring outwards, and it was gathering in Ding Meng's hand that was holding the sword.
He immediately realized that Ding Meng was absorbing his energy. At this moment, Du Xing did not care about anything else. He quickly let go of his sword and retreated.
It was good that he did not retreat. If he retreated, the outcome would be decided. Ding Meng did not chase after him. Instead, he scrutinized the demonic sword. "Once a swordsman loses his weapon, he basically has no combat ability."
This was Ding Meng's voice, but it was not spoken by one person. Instead, it was spoken by four people at the same time.
Du Xing turned his head to look. In the middle of the lake, there was a Ding Meng floating. On his left and right, there was another Ding Meng floating. At the top of the giant pillar at three o 'clock, there was another Ding Meng holding a lightsaber. Why were all four Ding Meng's real body?
Moreover, the four Ding Meng's were all staring at Du Xing. No matter how he moved, their gazes were locked onto him like a radar.
Du Xing knew that his Demonic Shadow Strike had been broken by Ding Meng. To be precise, it had lost its effectiveness in front of Ding Meng.
