Skill extraction from Dragon Clan

Chapter 556: Tyrannical King

In New York City, inside a space isolated by a barrier.

A group of people in black robes were gathered here, constantly writing and drawing in front of their eyes. A large amount of energy gathered together to form a complex magic circle that made people feel dizzy at a glance.

As if he had suddenly discovered something wrong, a man in black robe who had been in charge of coordination among the crowd ran to the center of the space in panic.

Here, there is also a group of people in black robes standing quietly, as if they are waiting for something.

Although they were all wearing black robes, judging from the intricate patterns on the robes and the surging energy fluctuations emanating from their bodies, they should be the leaders of this group of black-robed people.

"President, this is a super emergency! An unexpected alien being has broken through the barrier we set up and entered the interior of the barrier!"

"The other party actually broke our barrier so quickly?!" Although the black-robed man standing in the center had his face covered by a hood and his expression could not be seen clearly, one could still hear the solemnity in his tone.

The black-robed man who came to report the news was stunned for a moment, then shook his head in a dry voice: "No, our barrier has not been broken. The other party just broke in directly."

"Impossible! What do you think that barrier is?! Anyone can just break in..."

A man in black robe next to him suddenly became furious after hearing this, but before he could finish his words, he lowered his voice involuntarily.

The expressions of the other silent men in black robes also changed. The originally quiet group even became a little agitated because everyone thought of that terrible possibility.

The black-robed man standing in the center shook his body involuntarily. He forced himself to stabilize his unbalanced mentality and tightly grasped the staff in his hand. A captivating gaze shot out from the shadow of the hood, staring at the black-robed man who brought the news.

"Have you confirmed the other party's identity?"

"The identity has been confirmed... No! It should be said that the other party did not hide his identity at all." After a slight pause, he licked his dry lips and spoke the information in a trembling voice, "The target's identity has been confirmed. He is the Tyrannical King among the Thirteen Kings of the Other World!"

"hiss……"

Even though they had already thought of the possible outcome, after confirming the target's identity, there were still gasps from the crowd.

"The worst possible scenario has happened..." The leader of the Warlock Association lamented, but he calmed down after hearing the result.

"So...how much damage has the Tyrannical King done to the barrier array now?"

The so-called formation refers to the giant black square pillars inside the barrier that reach from sky to earth, and can be considered as the "needle and thread" that "sews" the two worlds together.

Once the barrier is fully set up, these pillars will automatically disappear.

However, in the process of setting up the barrier, these square pillars must be relied upon to sew and connect the two worlds, and this is also the time when the entire barrier is most vulnerable.

Although they are said to be fragile, these giant pillars actually have defensive capabilities beyond imagination.

Theoretically, even if a tactical nuclear bomb hits directly, it is impossible to destroy these formations.

What's more, just in case, the Warlock Association has prepared a formation that far exceeds the theoretical requirements.

Therefore, even if someone really wanted to take this opportunity to destroy the entire barrier, it would be almost impossible.

Of course, it’s only “almost”.

The Thirteenth King is the exceptional existence who can truly destroy the formation and even the entire barrier.

Others also held their breath, preparing to face a horrific number.

But unlike what they expected, the black-robed man who came to deliver the message looked at the information in his hand with a strange expression:

"Uh... no damage. Although the opponent broke the barrier of the barrier and entered the interior of the barrier, the barrier has now repaired itself. Apart from that, he did not cause any damage to the main formation of the barrier."

"Then what did he come in for?"

"It seems like he's fighting with someone?"

"?"

……

……

While the Warlock Association was still confused, the battle on Zheng Shu's side had already entered a fierce stage.

There was no dialogue, no explanation. The tall and thin figure with an iron mask on his face paused for only a moment after appearing, and immediately attacked Zheng Shu after confirming his identity.

It seemed as if his only purpose in coming here was to fight with Zheng Shu.

boom!
The ground collapsed, the walls collapsed, and two figures rushed into the building in the sky amid the smoke and dust, causing the ordinary people inside who were already in doubt to scream in fear.

But before these ordinary people could react further, their consciousness disappeared along with the powerful shock wave.

The destructive power unleashed when the two figures collided was like that of two giant beasts. They rushed forward recklessly, and wherever they passed, whether it was a safe strong enough to withstand gunfire or a wall made of reinforced concrete, they were easily destroyed.

The aftermath of the fight simply as they passed through the building completely destroyed the entire floor. After the two shadows flew out from the outer wall on the other side, the entire building could no longer hold on and slowly collapsed in the vibration.

In mid-air, accompanied by countless pieces of cement flying everywhere, Zheng Shu clenched his fists and confronted the enemy in front of him head-on without any fancy moves.

The two people who could fly forgot their flying ability at this moment, and fell from a height of hundreds of meters while attacking each other.

In the constant and rapid confrontation, Zheng Shu seemed to be increasingly unable to keep up with the opponent's rhythm.

Finally, after a certain fight, Zheng Shu had no time to react and a flaw appeared on his body.

Seizing this opportunity, the tall and thin black figure threw a heavy punch without hesitation, accurately hitting Zheng Shu's face, completely smashing the bones, muscles and skin on half of his head. Zheng Shu's entire body fell under the enemy.

boom!
The brief high-altitude fall was fleeting, and the two men fell from the sky and hit hard on a large piece of ruins with a highway surface.

The terrible impact force directly smashed this huge ruin that was several kilometers long into one direction, and the rolling air waves blew away the sand and gravel on the ruins.

The sudden change frightened the people hiding in the ruins. They grabbed onto objects around them and tried to steady themselves, but more people were unable to react and were blown into the sky like they were on a seesaw.

However, before these people could even scream, a large amount of black energy flew out from somewhere and enveloped them, turning into black crystals one after another.

These black crystals trembled slightly, and then disappeared into the sky out of thin air.

Not many people saw this scene, because after these people in the sky turned into black crystals and disappeared, the people on the ground also underwent the same changes.

In less than a second, dozens of people hiding in the ruins disappeared from the world.

On the other side of the ruins, next to a deep radial pit that had just been dug, a tall and thin figure stood quietly, looking at Zheng Shu lying in the middle of the pit.

After knocking Zheng Shu to the ground, he did not take advantage of his advantage to continue attacking. Instead, he jumped back and created some distance, as if he was waiting for something.

After seeing all the people hiding in the ruins turn into black crystals and disappear, the tall and thin figure turned his attention back to Zheng Shu.

"Have you finished saving them?"

The tall and thin figure finally spoke his first words after appearing in front of Zheng Shu.

His voice was neither hoarse nor cold. Contrary to his appearance, the black figure's voice could even be described as gentle.

Although the question was asked in a confusing manner, Zheng Shu, who was lying in the middle of the deep pit and resting, understood what the other party was asking.

"Not even close."

He rolled over and jumped up from the ground, and Zheng Shu stroked the other half of his head that had completely healed.

Although the wound has completely healed, the heart-wrenching pain seems to still remain in the body.

"Then hurry up and finish it! Because of this garbage, you have been absent-minded since the beginning when you fought with me. Most of your attention was focused on protecting those garbage, and even your fists became weak.

Do you know how many people in that world dream of fighting me? "

"To be honest, I'm not really sure."

Zheng Shu looked up at the tall and thin figure standing at the edge of the deep pit with his arms folded. He tilted his neck and shook his arms to adjust his muscles.

On the other side, with the rapid expansion of mental power, the survivors hidden in the surrounding ruins, whether dead or alive, turned into black crystals one after another.

Then he disappeared out of thin air and appeared in Zheng Shu's personal space.

After making sure that he had cleared a large enough area, Zheng Shu took a look at the pile of black crystals in his personal space, then looked up and smiled at the tall and thin figure.

"But since you are willing to give me this time, then I will remember your favor."

"Favor?"

Although his face was covered by a full-coverage mask and his expression and eyes could not be seen clearly, Zheng Shu could still feel the other party's ridicule from the tone of his voice.

"What good can your favor do?"

"What's the use? Let me think..."

Zheng Shu made a thinking gesture, exerted a little force on his feet, jumped out of the deep pit lightly, and jumped behind the tall and thin figure.

Looking at the tall and thin figure turning around to face him, Zheng Shu's face suddenly broke into a wild smile.

"Of course, I will spare your life in the next battle!"

"..."

The tall and thin figure was silent for a brief moment, and a violent and aggressive aura slowly overflowed from his body and quickly spread towards Zheng Shu.

Faced with the enemy's temptation, Zheng Shu released his dragon power without hesitation. The heavy and oppressive majesty collided with the opposite side's momentum. The collision of invisible forces made the surrounding fog vibrate.

The momentum between the two sides was divided at the slightest touch, and neither side gained any advantage. The similar mocking mental fluctuations emanating from the tall and thin figure disappeared, and what followed was high fighting spirit and endless laughter.

"Hahahahahahahaha!!! Looks like I really can't use this favor of yours anymore!"

"Ah!"

With a sneer, Zheng Shu raised his foot and stepped forward. The next moment, his body tore through the air and came in front of the tall and thin figure.

"Come!"

With a loud shout, the tall and thin figure extended his fist.

The seemingly thin fist turned into black light and cut through the air, creating a sky full of fist shadows, completely engulfing Zheng Shu who had just arrived in front of him.

Completely different from the previous straightforward attack, this time the tall and thin figure's moves became gentle and agile.

Obviously, each punch had the terrifying power to tear apart a building easily, but the light and shadow displayed were incredibly gorgeous.

Although he is called the Tyrannical King in the other world, it does not mean that he only knows how to fight violently.

“Tyranny” refers to his attitude toward cultivation.

The Tyrannical King has his own ideas about cultivation. He believes that if one wants to continue on this path, one must always be prepared to sacrifice his life at any time.

Therefore, whether he was guiding others to practice or practicing himself, he could very accurately squeeze the practitioner's body, will, and even life to the brink of death.

The feeling that one will literally die in the next moment will make any so-called useless cultivator constantly break through their own limits under the pressure of life and death.

As a price, under the pressure of this continuous, near-death psychological pressure, even the extremely strong-willed aliens who think that life and death are nothing to them will not be able to hold on for more than a few days before becoming mentally ill due to the enormous pressure.

But for those who practice under the guidance of the Tyrannical King, this is the beginning of hell.

The philosophy that the Tyrannical King firmly believes in does not allow anyone to quit or escape halfway. No matter how mentally broken, insane, and crazy the person being guided becomes, he will not stop his guidance.

Absolute power brings absolute command ability, making it impossible for the guided to escape no matter what.

By the time the person being guided finally reached a level of strength that satisfied the Tyrannical King, his spirit had basically completely collapsed, and he had become a madman who truly disregarded death.

Although not all people will do evil things, this kind of mental attitude will definitely cause various problems.

People who have been trained by the Tyrannical King will usually end up losing their lives after causing one riot after another.

The only person who can truly persist under the training of the Tyranny King and constantly improve his strength has always been the Tyranny King himself.

At this moment, the Tyrannical King, who was using new moves and feeling that he had made another breakthrough, felt a surge of joy in his heart.

Before the smile hidden behind the mask could fully appear, a huge force came from the fist.

The fist shadows in the sky disappeared in an instant, leaving only a pair of fists tightly clenched by Zheng Shu.

The energy wrapped in the Tyranny King's fists was crushed by Zheng Shu's bare hands, and the materialized black light turned into chains, firmly controlling the opponent's fists in his own hands.

Bang!
There was a dull sound of flesh hitting flesh, and the Tyrannical King felt a pain in his ribs.

Looking down, he found that one of Zheng Shu's legs had kicked into his ribs at some point, and most of his body even lost consciousness for a short time due to the sudden attack.

Without any hesitation, the Tyrannical King also used his leg skills to kick towards Zheng Shu.

However, the leg that Zheng Shu attacked with drew an arc lightly as if it had no bones, and accurately hit the root of the Tyrannical King's thigh which had just been raised.

The strength that had just been gathered was precisely dispersed by this blow. The Tyrannical King endured the numbness and soreness in his thigh and began to exert strength with his upper body that had just recovered.

The muscles on the Tyranny King's originally skinny body bulged, and veins swelled under his skin. Although his muscles were skinny, they were as powerful as twisted steel cables when they twisted.

Zheng Shu's muscles also bulged, and his skin glowed red as the blood rushed rapidly.

At this time, both sides tacitly did not use any force, but instead used their pure physical strength to fight.

Wave after wave of power was transmitted from the bodies of both parties into the ruins below, and the huge ruins collapsed into pieces in the vibration.
