Chapter 1 Astonishment

Inside the Kyoto Stadium, the audience was stunned.

Stunned, old buddy, what kind of performance is this?

Is this even possible?

They would never have imagined in their lives that a necromancer would pull a Headless Horseman off his steed, then ride the skeletal warhorse himself, wielding a two-meter-long greatsword!

So, you weren't summoning undead creatures, but summoning a mount to cosplay as Guan Yu?

"Oh! My god? What are we seeing? The necromancer himself is warming up!"

The commentator on the scene was once again howling hysterically.

"It's too surprising. In all my years as a commentator, this is the first time I've seen a necromancer roll up his sleeves, grab a blade, and go for a melee!"

Qiao Yu's actions even stunned Song Qingshan, who was sitting in the front row. As the leader of the Great Xia Ancient Kingdom, what kind of scene hadn't he seen in his military career?

But he had never seen this before! Song Qingshan reached out and patted Ji Pingyang's shoulder.

"Pingyang, you've really taught a student with a lot of ideas!"

"Elder Song, I didn't teach him. There's someone else..." Ji Pingyang smiled wryly and touched his nose.

And Shen Jianshu, sitting below the stage, had already spat out a mouthful of old tea eight meters away.

The old man had studied necromancy all his life and had never thought that he could pull the Headless Horseman off and ride it himself. You live and learn.

Qiao Yu didn't have the energy to pay attention to the reactions offstage. He only had one goal now, and that was to defeat Gu Ming in front of him!

"Giddy up!"

Qiao Yu held the Dark Staff in his left hand and the Zhulong Crescent Blade in his right, then squeezed his legs.

The skeletal warhorse seemed to be infected by Qiao Yu's fighting spirit. It roared to the sky, then two streams of black smoke spewed from its nostrils, and it strode out.

Wielding the Zhulong Crescent Blade, Qiao Yu at this moment truly possessed the courage of one man guarding the pass, and ten thousand cannot pass!

With Qiao Yu's joining, the Headless Horsemen, who had previously shown a crushing momentum, instantly showed a defeated stance.

"Critical hit! -2148!"

"Critical hit! -2333!"

"Critical hit! -1314.520!"

The Headless Horsemen were completely one-shotted in front of Qiao Yu. The Headless Horsemen vaguely felt that something was wrong. A strange thing seemed to have mixed in among them.

Unfortunately, they were just undead creatures and couldn't think at all. If they could speak, they would definitely yell at Qiao Yu.

"I'm really convinced by you, you sneaky bastard!"

In the blink of an eye, half of the fifty Headless Horsemen summoned by Gu Ming were directly solved by Qiao Yu.

Gu Ming finally recovered from the shock. There was no way around it. A necromancer riding a skeletal warhorse with a big sword would make anyone stunned for a while to let their brain process it?

Gu Ming's CPU didn't burn out already, so he had to thank the heavens.

"Damn it!"

Gu Ming's face changed drastically. After muttering in a low voice, he immediately raised his staff.

However, what he released were just extremely ordinary skeleton soldiers.

Countless skeleton soldiers surged towards Qiao Yu, rushing towards Qiao Yu one after another like moths to a flame.

Qiao Yu could kill a dozen with one strike, and then Qiao Yu noticed something was wrong.

Gu Ming wants to... stall for time?!

Qiao Yu suddenly reacted. He stomped hard on the skeletal warhorse, then jumped high into the sky.

Ghost Eye activated!

Gu Ming's figure was quickly locked by Qiao Yu. He was hiding behind a pile of skeleton soldiers and Headless Horsemen, sitting cross-legged and chanting something in a low voice.

Qiao Yu's face changed drastically. Even Gu Ming had to chant for so long, he would definitely summon a big guy!

Qiao Yu didn't dare to delay any longer and punched his chest.

[Fury state has been triggered!]

Then, with a wave of the Dark Staff, the Wither spell was activated.

Qiao Yu bulldozed his way towards Gu Ming, and all the undead creatures that were sucked to death by the Wither spell stood up again.

However, when they stood up again, they were already controlled by Qiao Yu.

Whoosh!

Countless skeleton soldiers were split into a sky full of white bones with one strike. The barbarian in Gu Ming's mouth rushed to not far in front of him with a kind smile before he could finish chanting.

Gu Ming's face changed drastically. With Qiao Yu's physical body, if he was approached, he would either die or be half disabled. There would be no third possibility.

In desperation, Gu Ming directly spat a mouthful of blood on the dark red staff in his hand!

"Damn! Is it still too late?!" Qiao Yu had already seen a strange six-pointed star array forming in front of Gu Ming.

"Hehe, barbarians are still barbarians. I'm bound to win!" Gu Ming's face was very pale, but a hint of complacency appeared in his eyes.

Then, a figure wearing a ghostly blue armor and holding a huge broadsword slowly appeared in the six-pointed star array.

Qiao Yu's pupils instantly shrank to needle-like points, and a chill rose from his tailbone all the way to the back of his head.

Death God Knight!

Qiao Yu couldn't be wrong. He had seen Shen Jianshu summon this thing before, and it directly crushed and slaughtered the Black Flood Dragon.

No wonder Gu Ming had to chant for so long. It turned out that he had summoned such a terrifying thing!

The strength of the summoned undead creatures is related to the intelligence and mental strength of the necromancer.

Although the Death God Knight summoned by Gu Ming gave Qiao Yu the feeling that it was far inferior to Shen Jianshu's in terms of size and aura, and looked like it was pulled out to work before it was an adult, it was ultimately one of the top undead creatures!

The stands on the scene also exclaimed. The moment the Death God Knight appeared, the temperature of the entire Kyoto Stadium dropped by several degrees.

"Qiao Yu..." Shen Jianshu's face also became very solemn, with a hint of worry.

"S-level skill, Divine Knight Summoning Technique!" Gu Ming licked his lips: "Qiao Yu, what are you going to fight me with?"

Qiao Yu took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.

He slowly raised the Zhulong Crescent Blade.

"With this!"

Buzz!

The artifact spirit Zhulong Jiuyin in the Zhulong Crescent Blade seemed to feel the master's fighting spirit and began to tremble slightly.

"Hahahaha! An ant trying to shake a tree, ridiculous! Barbarians are really ridiculous, go!"

Gu Ming pointed with his staff, and the Death God Knight, who was originally still, stepped forward and rushed towards Qiao Yu.

Its nearly five-meter-tall body made a deafening roar with every step it took, making people worry about whether the competition arena could withstand such violent power.

With each step, the aura on the Death God Knight's body became stronger, bringing great pressure to Qiao Yu.

Then, the Death God Knight waved the greatsword in his hand and slashed down at Qiao Yu's head.

Qiao Yu raised the Zhulong Crescent Blade to block.

Clang!

A sound of metal clashing rang out, and Qiao Yu's hands were numb from the shock.

His eyes were full of horror. The power of this Death God Knight was not inferior to him at all!

No!

Qiao Yu instantly changed his mind. He might not be able to beat this Death God Knight in a head-on confrontation. He locked his sharp eyes on Gu Ming.

Undead creatures are not easy to deal with, but necromancers are very easy to deal with!
