Chapter 1 Physical domination! You call this a necromancer?

As Qiao Yu’s voice fell, the entire audience was in an uproar, and everyone could hardly believe their ears.

“Are you sure?” Rui Wei’s face also showed a look of astonishment.

“Sure, what’s wrong? A Pseudo God-tier Level 1 fighting a Demi-god tier Level 1, that's a whole realm difference, are you guys too scared?” Qiao Yu said with a smile.

This Lü Guzheng could yield and stretch, and was very smooth. Although his strength was not as good as Jia Jinnian, in Qiao Yu’s eyes, this guy was much more of a threat than Jia Jinnian.

“Qiao Yu, don’t be impulsive! Pseudo God-tier and Demi-god tier are completely different concepts!”

Bai Xinweng hurriedly stopped Qiao Yu upon hearing this.

“Once you condense divine consciousness, both your perception and reaction ability in battle will be greatly improved! Divine consciousness can even launch attacks directly from the mental level!”

“Grandpa doesn’t mean to look down on you, but with your current strength, challenging a Pseudo God-tier is still too early!”

Bai Xinweng tried to persuade Qiao Yu, but Huangquan Biliangzaka (Underworld Threshold) would never let go of this great opportunity.

Jia Jinnian immediately jumped out and said loudly.

“Okay! My Huangquan Biliangzaka agrees! If you lose, you will immediately hand over the Huangquan Staff to me!”

The corner of Jia Jinnian’s mouth couldn’t help but raise a triumphant smile.

Daring to challenge a Pseudo God-tier by crossing a major realm, this kid simply doesn’t understand how terrifying a Pseudo God-tier is!

A fierce light also flashed in Lü Guzheng’s eyes. Even if ten Demi-god tier peaks joined forces, they might not be able to last half an hour in the hands of a Pseudo God-tier Level 1.

The gap between the two was like heaven and earth.

He was worried about not finding a chance to avenge his grandson, and Qiao Yu’s actions undoubtedly created a good opportunity for him.

After all, the gap between Pseudo God-tier and Demi-god tier was so big, what if he accidentally missed...

Thinking of this, Lü Guzheng took the initiative to stand up.

“I didn’t want to bully the younger generation, after all, I am much older than you, and you are not of the same generation.”

“But in order to retrieve Huangquan Biliangzaka’s treasure and contribute to the sect, I, Lü Guzheng, have a duty to do so!”

Lü Guzheng looked high-sounding, and those who didn’t know would really think that he was a loyal person who was devoted to Huangquan Biliangzaka.

“Well said!” Jia Jinnian immediately applauded.

Rui Wei frowned, but didn’t say anything. The most important thing was to retrieve the Huangquan Staff.

Qiao Yu smiled slightly, didn’t say anything, and just gave Bai Xinweng a reassuring look.

He had seen too many hypocritical people like Lü Guzheng.

There was a very strange unspoken rule in this world, which was that you can’t make things too clear.

You can give a person of high status and power a mooncake box, with a layer of mooncakes on top and a layer filled with gold and silver treasures underneath, and say to the other person, “This is just a small token of my appreciation for the Mid-Autumn Festival.”

The other party would accept it with a smile and give you an approving look. Both sides understood each other.

But if you say to the other person: “This is the money I’ve prepared, you can do something for me.” You will be immediately swept out the door.

Many people are like this, they want to do that, but they also want to erect a monument to their virtue.

“Come on! I’ll let you make the first move.”

Lü Guzheng spread out his hands towards Qiao Yu, while his eyes watched Qiao Yu’s movements up and down.

He wanted to observe first to see if Qiao Yu really had any terrifying trump cards, to avoid capsizing in the gutter.

“Wait!”

Unexpectedly, Qiao Yu directly called a stop to the competition.

“What? It’s too late to regret it now!” Jia Jinnian revealed a grim smile.

“No, no, no, I don’t regret it. I just want to ask, can we sign a life-and-death contract first? What if I beat Lü Guzheng to death, what do I do if you come looking for trouble?” Qiao Yu responded calmly.

However, this calm tone made everyone present fall into silence.

They even began to doubt their ears.

What did this kid say?

He said he wanted to sign a life-and-death contract?

A Demi-god tier Level 1 challenging a Pseudo God-tier Level 1 actually wants to sign a life-and-death contract?

This was as shocking as when Qian Ge (referring to a streamer who brags about his abilities) tells a girl, "I'm very big, you have to bear with it."

Even Lü Guzheng himself froze on the spot.

“Hahahahahahaha!”

Jia Jinnian couldn’t help but burst into laughter.

“Don’t worry, if you can really beat Lü Guzheng to death, I, this godfather, will take charge for him, and I guarantee no one will cause you trouble!”

“Okay, I’m relieved with your words, let’s start then!”

Qiao Yu nodded excitedly, then looked at Lü Guzheng.

The corner of Lü Guzheng’s mouth twitched slightly. Although he didn’t think he would lose, Jia Jinnian’s words still made him feel very uncomfortable.

Who likes others cursing them to die for no reason?

Seeing that his goal had been achieved, Qiao Yu didn’t dawdle, and instantly activated the Nether Rakshasa Body. Black armor emerged from his flesh and covered his entire body.

The dense ghostly aura made Qiao Yu look like a Jiuyou (Nine Netherworlds) War God.

Then Qiao Yu retreated rapidly, distanced himself from Lü Guzheng, and then waved the Huangquan Staff, and a dozen Netherworld Bone Dragons rushed out, heading straight for Lü Guzheng.

Looking at the Bone Dragons wrapped in the cold power of the Huangquan, Lü Guzheng’s mind also worked rapidly.

He didn’t know much about Qiao Yu, but from Qiao Yu’s battle with Jia Yu just now, Lü Guzheng could already analyze a lot of things.

First, the other party had already mastered the Huangquan Staff, and the black armor on his body was likely to be a very terrifying body-protecting divine artifact.

Second, the other party skillfully mastered the Bai family’s boxing techniques, and those blue eyes should be able to cast illusions, otherwise there was no way to explain Jia Yu’s sudden loss of focus just now.

Third, this kid clearly controlled the Netherfire but didn’t use it, obviously preparing to use the Netherfire to trick himself.

A smile appeared on the corner of Lü Guzheng’s mouth after analyzing these things.

If he was caught off guard and covered in Netherfire, even if he was a Pseudo God-tier, it would be extremely dangerous.

But now that he had seen through all of this, he might as well use a trick!

Even when facing Qiao Yu, who was much weaker than himself, Lü Guzheng was unwilling to take it lightly. A lion uses its full strength to catch a rabbit. Lü Guzheng was able to live to such an old age, so naturally he was not an arrogant person.

“Animal Path! Golden-Winged Roc!”

Lü Guzheng raised his hand, and a fierce cry of a bird came from the high heavens, the sharpness of the sound enough to pierce gold and crack rocks.

In the clouds of the sky, an unbelievably huge bird rushed out, covering the sky and the sun, its huge wings hundreds of zhang (丈, a Chinese unit of length) long.

Legend has it that the Golden-Winged Roc eats dragons, making it perfect for dealing with Bone Dragons.

As expected, the Golden-Winged Roc’s sharp eyes quickly locked onto the Bone Dragons. It shook its wings and swooped down.

With a grab of its claws, which were like gold and stone, a Bone Dragon was cut into several pieces and fell from the sky. In the blink of an eye, all the Bone Dragons were resolved by the Golden-Winged Roc.

“Zombie Kun King, Devour!”

Qiao Yu waved the Huangquan Staff, and a giant Kun (mythical fish) covered in rotten flesh swam out of the void, opening its huge mouth to bite at the Golden-Winged Roc.

Just as the Golden-Winged Roc was about to dodge, an extreme force of Yin and cold suddenly erupted, causing its movements to stagnate.

This was the power of the Huangquan that was attached to the Netherworld Bone Dragons. When the Golden-Winged Roc attacked the Bone Dragons, this power also invaded its body!

Crack!

A teeth-aching sound rang out, the Zombie Kun King took a bite, and half of the Golden-Winged Roc’s body was bitten off, leaving only half of its huge wings flapping desperately.

“Showing off your limited skills!”

Lü Guzheng sneered, and a staff appeared in his hand, pointing it at Qiao Yu.

“Animal Path! Heavenly Kui Divine Ox!”

The top of the staff suddenly changed, turning into a huge and terrifying bull’s head.

Then the bull’s head opened its mouth wide and let out a bellow in the direction of the Zombie Kun King!

The Zombie Kun King’s huge body was directly destroyed into dust under this roar.

But at this time, Qiao Yu had already silently arrived behind Lü Guzheng.

“Flowing Water Hundred Transformations Fist!”

The power of ten thousand layers of flowing water fist roared, smashing towards the back of Lü Guzheng’s head.

“Ridiculous, do you think you can escape my divine consciousness perception? I’ve been waiting for you for a long time!”

Lü Guzheng sneered, and pointed the staff in his hand backwards. The bull’s head at the front of the staff seemed to instantly come to life and crashed towards Qiao Yu.

Boom!

The terrifying impact directly overturned Qiao Yu. Qiao Yu retreated hundreds of meters before barely stabilizing his body, but there was no trace of injury on his body.

Seeing this, Lü Guzheng narrowed his eyes. He was now even more certain that the black armor on that kid’s body must be a defensive artifact! At least an S-grade equipment!

Seeing that Lü Guzheng had easily gained the upper hand, the morale of the Huangquan Biliangzaka people was greatly boosted.

They ridiculed Qiao Yu’s overestimation of his own strength.

“It’s a good thing for young people to have ideals, but ideals are not fantasies. To actually attempt to challenge a Pseudo God-tier with a Demi-god tier Level 1, it’s simply a big joke.”

“Lü Guzheng’s Animal Path is ever-changing, both offensive and defensive. Even if I, a Pseudo God-tier Level 1, were to face him, I would have a headache, let alone an ignorant junior?”

“Forget it, after all, he’s the benefactor who salvaged the Huangquan Staff for us, let’s be merciful!”

“It’s true that he has done us a favor, but this kid is too arrogant! He actually looks down on Pseudo God-tier, he deserves a lesson to let him know that he’s just a kid who hasn’t even grown his hair yet!”

Listening to the ridicule of the crowd, Qiao Yu’s expression didn’t change at all. He was still very calm, as if he didn’t care about all of this.

He didn’t respond to the crowd, but silently walked to the side of the Huangquan and raised the Huangquan Staff.

Before the many elders of Huangquan Biliangzaka could react to what he was going to do, they heard Qiao Yu say.

“Apologize to me, or I’ll throw this thing back in right now!”
