Chapter 278 System Collection
The Duke Valentine's mansion was very lively.
The dense sound of gunfire was like festive fireworks, drowning out the thunder in the sky and resounding throughout the territory.
The civilians and low-ranking nobles in the lower classes of the Mechanical City did not understand what was happening, but they knew that a great battle was going on there.
As soon as the gunshots were heard, the Mechanical City was sealed off and entry and exit were prohibited.
An order was also issued over the radio prohibiting all personnel except the military from going to the Duke's Palace on the top floor.
When the patrolling knights saw the scavengers sneaking on the city wall, they would kill them on the spot without asking any questions. When the thieves who were stealing from the homes of several nobles saw that the situation was not good, they tried to climb over the wall to escape, but were shot to pieces by the muskets.
A large number of city defense knights were drawn from the Acropolis and entered the city. A large army of 10,000 people had flags on their heads. A large number of troops also emerged from the underground compartments in various parts of the city. They were too numerous to count...
There are also various plainclothes city defenses and sheriffs...
No one knows where so many troops from this "Black Wind Territory" came from.
For a time, people were in a panic, not knowing what disaster had happened.
…
On the other hand, in the banquet hall of the Duke's Mansion.
Because they had been prepared, tens of thousands of knights had surrounded the place in three layers inside and outside in a very short time. These well-equipped extraordinary people gathered , ready to fight. There was also a steady stream of masters gathering here.
This kind of lineup was enough to capture some small territories. Now in this banquet hall, even if the troublemakers were the "Ten Legends", they might not be able to get out alive.
"Quick! The Sixteenth Knight Regiment, charge! The Seventeenth Knight Regiment, prepare..."
"Medical team! Medical team! Take the wounded away quickly..."
"Antidote! We need a high-level antidote!"
"Don't give that guy a chance to breathe. Assassin Team, harass him from behind..."
“…”
Because there were hundreds or thousands of nobles and wealthy businessmen in the banquet hall, the noble knights of the Rosas family were cautious and did not dare to use large-scale firearms.
Moreover, because the layout of the banquet hall was not suitable for large-scale battle formation changes and charges, the soldiers who rushed in were simply filling the hole with flesh and blood.
The commanders of the Duke's Palace originally thought that they could use human wave tactics to kill the "assassin".
But after fighting for almost a quarter of an hour, they realized that they were totally wrong.
The huge banquet hall became the personal fighting stage for Ryan Hermes, the lord of "Black Dragon City".
The several hundred guards who rushed in never came out again, as if they were thrown into a meat grinder, and turned into blood and meat in the blink of an eye. The corpses had piled up like a mountain at the entrance of the banquet hall, and the blood had soaked the carpet into a thick black color like ink...
That guy's fighting spirit seemed to be inexhaustible. No matter how intense the attacks were, he showed no signs of exhaustion.
What’s more terrifying is that no one can be a match for that white shadow!
Obviously, the opponent was also a third-level extraordinary person, but the third-level strongman of the Duke's Mansion was like paper in front of that "Ryan". If one punch didn't kill him, at most two more punches would be enough.
This made the battle commander dare not rashly let high-level extraordinary people lead the charge.
Low-level extraordinary people can be replenished at any time, but third-level extraordinary people are "big shots" everywhere.
Even in the Duke Valentine's Palace, such a master is a backbone at the level of a branch regiment commander. It is extremely difficult to train, not only consuming a lot of resources, but also depends on talent.
Every death weakens the territory's strength.
But after just a few charges, more than a dozen people were killed.
The commander felt as if his heart was being cut by the casualties.
…
As the battle progressed, more and more intelligence feedback came in, and the capabilities of that "Ryan" became clearer and clearer.
But the more detailed the intelligence became, the more shocked the Rosas family members felt as if they had seen a monster.
Only a few top executives knew about the ambush. Others thought that the man who dared to kill Prince Peter in the banquet hall was a reckless man seeking his own death.
Now it seems that he was indeed reckless, but he did not seek his own death.
This guy, no one has ever seen any panic on his face, it is obvious that he was planning to cause trouble.
The Rosas family thought he was a stupid rabbit banging its head against a wooden stake, but they didn't expect him to be a tiger coming down the mountain!
The battle situation is not ideal.
Originally, there was no need to go through so much trouble to deal with this kind of melee "fighter". Just surround them with heavy armor knights and heavy armor mechanics and they would be killed alive.
But this trick doesn't work on that guy!
Because the guy named "Ryan" actually knows the martial artist's ultimate martial art [Sky God Strike].
Looking at all the extraordinary people in the world who are in the fighting sequence, there are definitely no more than one person who can learn this secret at the third level of extraordinary.
But it just so happens that this guy knows how to do it, and he’s mastered it to perfection!
But even if he knows this trick, it’s actually not a big problem.
After all, [Sky God Strike] is powerful, but it also consumes a lot of fighting spirit.
If you keep punching, you will eventually run out of energy.
Taking more lives to fill the gap can also lead to death.
But no one expected that he could also master the famous skill of Gizela, the "Poison Hand" of the "Poison Warlock" lineage - [Void Poison Hands]!
No one knows why Ryan knows Gizela's unique skills...
No one knows why a fighter can practice the secret method of poison...
But the fact is, this guy not only knows how to do it, but the "seven-color toxin" he possesses has been detected as a complex biological toxin and is extremely deadly.
Once the palm force hits the body's meridians, death is almost certain.
Even if the patient was lucky enough not to die, the poison would have taken over his heart and the doctors would be helpless to treat him once he was carried out.
These two martial arts that can hit the target from a distance are the most deadly . This also makes it almost the same for that "Ryan" to kill heavy armor supernatural beings and ordinary supernatural beings. He kills them in and out of the crowd seven times.
and,
There is also fighting spirit!
Super strength!
This is simply a "monster"!
…
In the banquet hall, the wealthy businessmen and nobles who were hiding everywhere were also stunned.
No one expected that the guy in front of them, who they had previously thought was a "pretty boy", would be so fierce.
With such combat power, everyone understands that among the third-level extraordinary people, this person is already invincible.
The fighting power of the Lord of "Black Dragon City" is truly amazing.
But, the third level is invincible, what about the fourth level?
What's more, there is a fifth-level wizard in the territory.
Under any other circumstances, they would have thought that this guy named "Ryan" was dead.
But, at the bar, there was a woman in a black dress sitting and drinking leisurely.
This business tycoon, who is recognized to be both intelligent and beautiful, would never do anything stupid that would lead to her own death.
Since she didn't take action, there must be another trick up her sleeve.
These wealthy nobles were not stupid either, and they immediately guessed that they were probably involved in some "conspiracy".
There will definitely be a big show tonight.
…
Ryan couldn't count how many people he had killed. His fists were numb from fighting and his white robe was stained with large patches of blood.
The banquet hall was littered with corpses.
At this time, a master finally arrived.
A guy in tight clothes avoided the knights and slowly walked into the banquet hall.
"Um Lopez? This guy has actually advanced to the fourth level of transcendence..."
Ryan narrowed his eyes and looked at the guy in front of him. The aggressive aura on him made people feel as if they saw a flaming lion striding towards him.
This overwhelming feeling is no longer at the level of "momentum", but rather an "artistic conception" that can influence the perception of extraordinary people.
This kind of imposing aura made the air around Wumu's body seem to be distorted. Every time he took a step, the air around him was pulled. It was like seeing a fire in the darkness, as if the whole world was covered by his aura.
Wum is the bearer of the Totem of Strength.
He is also the bait that must appear.
Ryan could also guess that this guy showed up now probably because the big guys hiding in the dark in Glory City wanted to lure Basel and others to show up.
Soldiers fight against soldiers, generals fight against generals.
The younger ones can’t win, so the older ones will naturally be defeated soon.
It just so happened that Ryan also thought it would be nice to have such an opponent.
This guy must be killed tonight.
…
As soon as Wum came in, the guards stopped their attack and blocked the door without rushing in.
He glanced at Ryan, and the numb Holy Lance seemed to be looking at a dead man.
He felt that he had a sure win.
This guy seemed to want to "attract hatred" and tore his shirt before he started, revealing his muscular upper body. The dark and shiny muscles and bulging veins gave people a strong visual impact. He looked like he was cast in molten copper, indestructible.
Of course, there is also the glowing [Totem of Power].
When enemies meet, there is no need to talk too much.
Wum pulled his clothes, raised his foot and made a chopping move, transforming his energy into a blade, and chopped forward with a moon-arc energy.
The first move he made was [Ultimate Storm Cut].
With a whoosh sound.
The air blade left the body and arrived in the blink of an eye.
Ryan was also very familiar with this move, and he made a dodgy move the moment he kicked.
His body tilted slightly and the air blade almost brushed past his face.
He felt a gust of wind blowing on his face, and heard a crisp sound of stone breaking. Then he heard another sound, "crack, crack, crack..." The stone pillar in the hall not far behind Ryan, which was so big that two people could hug together, was cut in half and collapsed with a loud bang.
The cut surface of the stone pillar is smooth, as if it had been cut by a sharp blade.
Ryan glanced at him out of the corner of his eye and secretly praised him for being amazing.
He had to admit that Wum's proficiency in martial arts far exceeded his own.
Moreover, the fourth-level extraordinary has comprehended the "intention", and the martial arts at this time are the fighter's own things. Fighting has become the body's instinct, rather than just imitating moves.
However, seeing that the enemy was so ferocious, Ryan was not afraid. Instead, a strong desire to fight burned in his eyes.
While dodging, his skin that was exposed to the air instantly glowed with a light golden luster, and it turned out that he was activating the [Hercules Technique].
The fighting spirit circulated throughout his body's muscles, and his body swelled up like a balloon, instantly transforming into a body as strong and muscular as a bull.
A sharp light flashed in Ryan's eyes, and he murmured in his heart: "Tsk tsk, what a rare good opponent..."
At the same time, the system prompt sounded.
[Ding! Data collection, the system is automatically recording...]
…
One kick [Raikiri] is just an appetizer.
Wum didn't expect to kill the opponent with this move.
At the moment he retracted his foot, he pushed the ground hard again. After a loud "pop" sound, the whole person shot out like a sharp arrow.
The [Secret of Divine Movement] used by the fourth-level transcendent could only be seen as two afterimages in the eyes of the lower-level transcendents who were watching the battle.
One is at the starting point and the other is at the end point.
When the figures in the eyes of others began to disintegrate, the ground where Wum was standing just now suddenly burst into spider-web-like cracks. A visible air ripple spread out in the air with the crack as the center. The rapid impact of the air wave caused the entire banquet hall to tremble for a moment.
The distance of hundreds of meters was just a moment's walk for Wum.
“Bang!”
There was a sharp, muffled sound, like the sound of a bell. The iron-clad men collided with each other, evenly matched.
The two of them just stood there stiffly.
One purple and one red, the wrestling match between the Thunder Tiger and the Fire Lion.
Ryan grinned grimly, squinting his eyes as he followed the enemy in front of him. Now that he had fully mastered the "divine power realm", he was not afraid to compete with others.
On the other hand, Wum's face changed drastically. As someone who possessed the [Totem of Strength], he never expected that he would not have any advantage in a competition of strength.
What's more, the opponent is only a third level!
But that’s all.
For other extraordinary people, even if they were at the fourth level, they would probably suffer a great loss under this "strange force". But for Wumu, a talented fighter, strength has always been only a part of fighting skills.
Not to mention that their strength is similar, even if there is a big difference, there is also the "four ounces to move a great weight" fighting technique.
At the moment of contact, Wum did not defeat his opponent with strength. Instead, he changed his tactics. The flames of fighting spirit condensed in his fists were like a flamethrower, and they rushed forward like a bullet fired from a gun.
As the target of the attack, Ryan only saw flaming fist shadows all over the sky. It was as if a scorching fireball had exploded in the entire banquet hall, and the scorching air waves swept across the entire hall.
There are tens of millions of martial arts moves, and although there are recognized "six secrets", the real secret-level techniques are always more than six.
The move that Wum used was actually the famous skill of his teacher, the "Martial Arts Grandmaster" Rocky Refar - [Rain from the Sky]!
In the field of vision, it was like an overwhelming stream of fire fists coming at me like rain, with no escape possible.
Snap, snap, snap…
Heavy punches like rain hitting banana leaves hit Ryan's body, and the sound was like hail hitting an iron plate. Hundreds of punches came in an instant.
Not only the external injuries inside the house, the violent fire energy rushed into Ryan's meridians, burning them.
The fist shadows seemed chaotic, but each circle accurately hit the key points of the human body's meridians.
If it were an ordinary third-level transcendent, this round of heavy punches, even if he didn't die, would be enough to destroy his meridians into pieces due to the energy tank.
The suppression of the extraordinary level made the purple lightning's protective fighting spirit extremely fragile under the flaming fist.
The intensive punches were repeated on all the major meridians and acupoints in the body, leaving no room for the person to breathe.
Once the fighting spirit stagnates, it will dissipate.
Ryan felt his breath become chaotic, and he couldn't hold back a mouthful of spicy and fishy food. He vomited blood and flew backwards, crashing into a pile of debris...
…
Seeing Ryan spitting blood and flying backwards, the guards at the City Lord's Mansion at the entrance of the banquet hall all breathed a sigh of relief.
Finally, the terrifying feeling of stepping into the abyss of death in their disappeared, and an expression of relief appeared on their faces.
The death threat that Ryan had brought to them just now almost made them despair and collapse. The knights all knew that facing this "God of Death" meant endless death.
Fortunately, Um Lopez came and saved the day.
This maniac who was like a devil before was finally punished.
Seeing this, the wealthy nobles who were watching the battle also breathed a sigh of relief.
As long as this "Black Dragon City Lord" dies, tonight's farce seems to be coming to an end.
Those nobles and wealthy people who watched the battle also felt some emotion.
Ryan's strength was recognized by everyone.
But even an amateur could see from the set of punches just now that the protective fighting spirit was broken, and he would be crippled if not dead.
"That Wumu is indeed a rare fighting genius in Oma in a century. This [Secret Art: Rain of Heaven] is deeply rooted in the essence of Grandmaster Loki."
"Then Ryan was able to withstand a hundred punches with the power of the third level of transcendence, and was defeated by Wumu. It was an honorable defeat."
"What a pity...Ryan is also a genius among fighters. If he were to advance to the fourth level of Transcendent, he wouldn't necessarily be inferior to Wumu. In this battle, he lost because of his Transcendent level..."
“…”
The gunshots stopped, and the figure in white flew backwards into the ruins. The huge banquet hall suddenly became quiet.
Watching Ryan being knocked away, Canossa still sat leisurely beside the bar.
She didn't look worried at all. She took a sip of the wine in the glass and murmured in a voice that only she could hear: "The [Mighty Demon God] has reached the 'Godly Strength Realm', so it's not that easy to be defeated..."
