Armor Guardians

Chapter 344 Battle
"It used to be, but now... it probably isn't."

"Should? That means you're still eligible to compete for that position, right?"

As it spoke, the mutant beast suddenly attacked. The instant it finished speaking, a dark claw emitting black smoke suddenly appeared out of thin air from behind Xia Qianmeng and pierced straight into her back...

All of this happened so suddenly that not only Ding Jing, but even Xia Qianmeng was caught off guard.

However, after realizing she had been ambushed, the expected pain did not come. Instead, she felt a warm sensation on her back, which felt very comfortable.

"He does indeed have some skill..."

Looking at its melted black claws, the mutant beast showed no emotion in its expression or tone, as if it had expected this to happen.

"A Thousand Dreams!"

Ding Jing finally realized what was happening and immediately ran behind Xia Qianmeng to check her wounds. However, she found that Xia Qianmeng's back was still smooth and there was no wound at all.

This surprised her, and Xia Qianmeng was also a little confused, but this still did not stop Xia Qianmeng from pretending to be a master and calmly standing in place.

"Human, you do have some strength, but I really don't want to destroy this beautiful planet, so if possible, I would like to resolve the war with you amicably."

"Friendly? In what way are we being friendly?"

Xia Qianmeng sat down on the sofa next to her, and then slightly opened her eyes, as if she could see through what the other person was thinking.

"You wouldn't want your people to suffer casualties in a war, would you?"

"And then? Are you going to try to persuade me?" Xia Qianmeng asked again, feigning a playful expression.

"No, I want to challenge the strongest person on your planet to a duel, and use the result of this duel to replace war. What do you think?"

"Firstly, I am not qualified to make this decision on behalf of others."

"Secondly, I am not the strongest. If you want to fight, you can go to the Atlantis Sky Island and find King Atlantis. I can't beat him. You will know this if you do your research."

"The king? I understand."

Its voice remained emotionless. After leaving behind this sentence, it vanished just as it had come, as if it had never been there.

Realizing that the opponent's aura had completely disappeared, Xia Qianmeng secretly breathed a sigh of relief, then looked at Ding Jing beside her and commanded, "Contact the Armor Guardians and the Shadow Group, and have them enter pre-battle mode."

"Ah."

Ding Jing knew, of course, that this matter couldn't be delayed, so she immediately took out her phone and started sending messages.

Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night. Before long, Ding Jing's residence was filled with people. Some were doctors who came to check Xia Qianmeng's injuries, while others came to protect their safety.

These security personnel are unlikely to be of much use, but even so, it is still worth doing. As long as we can gain a glimmer of hope, it will be worth it.

According to information from Xia Qianmeng and Ding Jing, all personnel on leave must return tonight. The year is over, and if this war cannot be won, there may be no next year.
