Chapter 132: A Poor Match-up, Slaying Three of Six Arms, Experience Breaks 30,000
Among the members of "Six Arms," there was only one who had completely evaded his series of attacks: "Undead King" Davernoch.
"The racial traits of the undead, huh?"
Tang Zheng tilted his head, looking up at "Undead King" Davernoch, who was hovering in mid-air using his flight ability.
As one of the most special races among the Heteromorphic Race, the undead are born with a series of powerful racial effects.
Passives like Critical Hit Nullification, Mental Magic Nullification, Instant Death Magic Nullification, and Debuff Nullification—all of which Tang Zheng coveted.
The reason "Undead King" Davernoch was able to dodge his attack was clearly because debuffs had no effect on him.
"We're truly a bad match-up."
Tang Zheng glanced at the figure in the air and shook his head. "Both your title and your status as one of the undead are detestable."
"Bastard!"
"A guy who controls the dead has no right to lecture me!"
"Undead King" Davernoch looked at the scene below, a mixture of shock and fury in his eyes. His fiery red pupils were filled with dread as he roared at Tang Zheng.
"Fireball!"
A fireball the size of a washbasin rapidly condensed in the air and shot down toward Tang Zheng.
After casting the spell, "Undead King" Davernoch turned and fled, quickly trying to escape into the distance.
He couldn't stay with Eight Fingers any longer. A powerful group like Six Arms had been crushed in an instant by this man before him.
Dammit!
Who the hell provoked this human!
Faced with the fireball plummeting toward him, Tang Zheng pulled the "Orb of Death" from his black robe, feeling a pang of regret. "It's a bit of a waste, but I have no intention of letting you escape."
BOOM!
A massive magic circle appeared on the ground, centered on Tang Zheng.
"ROAR!!"
A cry that was part wild beast, part dragon's roar, echoed through the courtyard.
Bone Dragon Summoning!
A bone dragon, its colossal body formed from countless bones and radiating an aura of death and terror, flew out of the magic circle with a roar.
BOOM!
The fireball fell from the sky and struck the bone dragon that was shielding Tang Zheng. Like a drop of water hitting a lake, it vanished without a sound.
The bone dragon possessed the ability to nullify sixth-tier and lower magic. To the magic casters of this world, it was a calamitous natural enemy.
"Chase him."
Tang Zheng gripped the "Orb of Death" in his left hand and issued the command to the bone dragon.
WHOOSH!
With a single flap of its massive, tattered wings, the bone dragon kicked up a fierce gale, soared into the sky, and gave chase to "Undead King" Davernoch.
After giving the command, Tang Zheng suppressed the ache of regret in his heart. This had cost him a full 100 points of mana.
Normally, summoning a bone dragon would cost 100 Negative Energy. However, since Tang Zheng had infused the "Orb of Death" with mana, the cost for summoning the bone dragon naturally changed to mana.
However, since he intended to completely dominate and intimidate this group from Six Arms, wasting some mana was nothing.
There was no need to worry about "Undead King" Davernoch. As long as his power had not reached the realm of seventh-tier magic, there was no possibility of escape.
Turning around, the atmosphere at the scene had become eerily quiet.
"Illusion Demon" Succulent, "Thousand Kills" Malmvist, and "Blood Moon Scimitar" Edstrom, who had collapsed limply on the ground placing their only hope in the Undead King, now had expressions of utter despair.
To see Tang Zheng summon a legendary undead like a bone dragon had completely crushed their spirits.
Even "Fighting Ogre" Zero, who was standing not far away clutching his bleeding chest, turned pale and fell silent.
What was Khajiit's purpose for staying in the Great Tomb of Nazarick for five years?
Wasn't it to accumulate enough Negative Energy to summon two bone dragons?
With two bone dragons, Khajiit would have dared to slaughter a city!
And that city was the border fortress, E-Rantel.
In the eyes of the members of Six Arms, the appearance of the bone dragon was no less shocking than them being defeated in a single instant.
In reality, the bone dragon's own strength wasn't that high. If he had summoned it from the start, considering the strength of the Six Arms members, defeating one bone dragon wouldn't have been difficult.
Unfortunately, none of them had the corresponding curse resistance, and they were far too arrogant, gathering all together, which led to the rapid collapse of the situation.
It looked like he had completely crushed Six Arms.
But in truth, it was a series of reactions caused by an intelligence gap.
Tang Zheng looked at "Fighting Ogre" Zero and smiled faintly. "It's best not to be too arrogant before you speak, Lord Zero."
"Who in the world are you?"
"Fighting Ogre" Zero's voice was weak, but his eyes were locked firmly on Tang Zheng.
"You have one more chance to strike."
Tang Zheng didn't answer the question, speaking calmly instead.
"Fighting Ogre" Zero was worthy of being the leader of Six Arms. Compared to the other three, Zero's injuries were much lighter.
When Tang Zheng had attacked, he could clearly feel an unusual tenacity in Zero's skin.
This resulted in the same attack inflicting a shallower wound on Zero.
Furthermore, if Tang Zheng remembered correctly, Zero's fists possessed a strength comparable to orichalcum, allowing him to easily clash with Brain's weapon.
The weapon in Brain's hands was no ordinary blade. Tang Zheng didn't believe that the basic 'Monk' job alone could strengthen a body to such a degree.
And there were the illustrations of beasts that flashed across Zero's body when he unleashed his ultimate move.
Tang Zheng also didn't believe that with the enhancement from mere ordinary beasts, Zero could break through his own level cap and deliver a blow with an attack power approaching level 40.
This was why Tang Zheng was so interested in the 'Shaman Mentor' job.
One more chance to strike, huh?
Rage filled "Fighting Ogre" Zero's eyes. Without further nonsense, he let out a great roar: "AAAAAAAHHH!!"
A surge of power erupted from within him.
His already bulging muscles swelled even larger in that instant as explosive power began to gather.
"Leopard's Foot!"
"Rhinoceros's Arm!"
"Wild Ox's Chest…"
"Fighting Ogre" Zero roared loudly.
Streaks of tattoo-like light began to flash across his body.
Tang Zheng glanced at the skill information pop-up on his stat panel, then stomped his foot on the ground, vanishing from the spot as a black afterimage.
Splurt!
"Fighting Ogre" Zero's roar came to an abrupt end as a fountain of blood sprayed into the air.
His head, a look of bewilderment on its face, fell from his neck and landed on the ground. It bounced twice before his body followed, slumping to the ground with a dull thud.
Tang Zheng appeared behind Zero. On the blade of his new iron sword, beads of blood were continuously dripping off.
"Sorry."
"Your ultimate move was taking too long. I couldn't wait," Tang Zheng said, flicking the blood off his iron sword as he looked at Zero's corpse.

At the same time.
RUMBLE—
The sound of massive wings beating came from the sky above. The bone dragon flapped its wings and slowly descended.
And in its forelimbs, it clutched "Undead King" Davernoch, who had tried to escape earlier.
"Human, human, spare me…"
"I can't die yet."
"There's still so much magic I haven't learned…"
"I can be your subordinate!"
"Undead King" Davernoch struggled frantically, trying to break free from the bone dragon's grasp, his cold, dry voice filled with pleading.
Tang Zheng didn't even have the interest to glance at him. He waved his arm.
CRACK!
The bone dragon's claws suddenly tightened, crushing "Undead King" Davernoch's entire body. The surging Negative Energy in his body pulsed violently before rapidly dissipating under the bone dragon's influence.
[Gained Experience: 3251]
[Experience Bar: 27877/10000]
Tang Zheng took a step forward, walking up to "Thousand Kills" Malmvist, who lay on the ground, barely breathing.
"Do you know of the half-elf?" Tang Zheng asked gently.
"Thousand Kills" Malmvist's body trembled. He weakly opened his mouth, as if wanting to explain something.
PFFT!
The iron sword swung.
The scent of blood in the air grew a little thicker.
The wine-red head of "Thousand Kills" Malmvist rolled to a stop between "Illusion Demon" Succulent and "Blood Moon Scimitar" Edstrom.
The sight made both of their pupils shrink in absolute terror.
[Gained Experience: 3121]
[Experience Bar: 30998/10000]
Looking at the experience points on his stat panel, which had just surpassed 30,000, Tang Zheng fought back the urge to continue the slaughter and turned to the other two.
WHOOSH!
The bone dragon suddenly flapped its wings, flew into the mansion, and shortly returned carrying "Spatial Slash" Peshrian. It tossed him in front of Tang Zheng.
"Do you want to live, or do you want to die?" Tang Zheng asked the three of them.
