Musclebound Necromancer?! Are You Kidding Me?

Chapter 58 – Second Defense Line, Tianxuan

"Hello? Moshi moshi? Sumimasen? Hi? Is anyone there? If no one's here, I'm coming over!"

At this moment, Qiao Yu had already reached the first line of defense at the Empress Tower, and what puzzled him was that there wasn't a single enemy in sight.

"Strange, didn't Mond say that each line of defense is guarded by an extremely powerful mechanical warrior? Why is there no one here?" Qiao Yu scratched his head in confusion.

"Could it be that the mechanical warriors are slacking off at work?"

Qiao Yu shook his head, not thinking too much about it. With no one to stop him, he could continue moving forward.

Soon, the second line of defense appeared before Qiao Yu. As he approached, a slender whip lashed out at him.

"Snap!"

The barbed whip tore Qiao Yu's skin open.

"A human?"

The owner of the whip spoke with a hint of surprise in her voice.

"A mere human, how did you get past the first line of defense? Tian Shu didn't kill you?"

A graceful figure holding a long whip came into Qiao Yu's view.

The newcomer was dressed in black leather, with a front protrusion and rear lift, possessing an almost perfect body proportion.

The only flaw was that she wore a mask, obscuring her face.

"A woman?"

Qiao Yu was equally surprised. A woman choosing mechanical modification?

This was a bit tricky. Qiao Yu never fought women.

"Speak quickly!"

The woman straightened the long whip and demanded harshly.

"Who are you? How did you sneak past the first line of defense?"

Qiao Yu scratched his head.

"I just walked over, I even called out, but no one responded."

Hearing this, the woman sneered mockingly.

"Oh, so Tian Shu isn't here."

"Kid, I don't know whether to say you're lucky or unlucky, crossing the first line of defense only to fall into the hands of me, Queen Tian Xuan."

"Don't worry, I'll train you well! I love handsome young men like you!"

Tian Xuan swung her long whip at Qiao Yu once more.

This time, Qiao Yu didn't sit idly by. He grabbed Tian Xuan's long whip, the sharp barbs piercing his hand and drawing blood.

"Tian Shu, Tian Xuan? Is the person at the third line of defense called Tian Ji?" Qiao Yu asked calmly.

Tian Xuan's face changed dramatically upon hearing this, and she demanded sharply.

"Who are you? How do you know the secrets of our Mechanical Kingdom?"

Qiao Yu: "..."

Isn't this just the Big Dipper? What's so secret about it?

"No matter who you are, you won't leave here alive today!"

Tian Xuan pulled hard on the long whip, but found she couldn't move Qiao Yu at all, as if she was pulling a mountain instead of a person.

Qiao Yu wasn't surprised at all. All his attribute points were in Strength. Compete with me in strength?

With a forceful tug, Qiao Yu pulled Tian Xuan, who was holding the whip, towards him.

At the critical moment, Tian Xuan abandoned the whip and distanced herself from Qiao Yu.

This man was strange!

That was Tian Xuan's first impression, and her intuition was always accurate. She had a feeling that if she let this man get close, she would be finished.

Qiao Yu examined Tian Xuan's whip before tossing it back to her.

"Hey, let's make a deal. We don't actually need to fight. I'm just trying to rescue someone from the Empress Tower. How about you let me pass?"

"Hmph! Dream on!"

Seeing the whip back in her hand, Tian Xuan lashed out again.

Qiao Yu pulled out the Orient Loong God Crescent Blade to block the whip, shaking his head helplessly. He really didn't want to fight a woman.

Tian Xuan continued to whip at him relentlessly.

Soon, Tian Xuan, with her sharp eyes, noticed Qiao Yu's weakness: speed!

He was slow! Whether dodging or moving!

For her attacks, this man never thought of dodging, only blocking or taking the hits.

And speed was precisely Tian Xuan's forte.

"Kid, I've found your weakness!"

Tian Xuan smiled smugly, circling Qiao Yu at high speed, striking whenever she saw an opening.

Qiao Yu frowned slightly. This Tian Xuan was indeed more troublesome than Mond.

However, a lack of speed could be compensated in other ways.

"Sigh, since you won't let me pass, don't blame me. I really don't want to fight a woman."

Qiao Yu gripped the Orient Loong God Crescent Blade like a javelin, predicting Tian Xuan's movements before using the Skeleton King's Ring to hurl the blade with force!

The result looked as if Tian Xuan had run straight into the Orient Loong God Crescent Blade.

"Shing!"

The Orient Loong God Crescent Blade pierced through Tian Xuan's chest, pinning her to the wall.

"Impossible, how could this be! How could you keep up with my speed!" Tian Xuan's face was full of disbelief.

"Ever heard of the Pythagorean theorem? Yeah, it has nothing to do with this."

Qiao Yu retrieved the Orient Loong God Crescent Blade as Tian Xuan closed her eyes in unwillingness.

With his strength, anything he threw would naturally be fast.

The greater the net force on an object, the greater its acceleration, and thus the faster its speed.

This Tian Xuan didn't even understand such simple physics, so her death wasn't unjust.

This also taught Qiao Yu a lesson: reading more books is really important.

[Player Qiao Yu successfully killed NPC Tian Xuan, Experience Points +75]

Hmm?

Qiao Yu was stunned. Killing Tian Xuan didn't reward him with free attribute points?

He carefully checked the Inner World System's notification, noticing it was different from before.

After pondering for a while, Qiao Yu slapped his thigh in frustration.

"Throwing the Orient Loong God Crescent Blade to kill doesn't count as melee combat, fuck!"

Qiao Yu's heart ached, realizing that Tian Xuan could have given him at least ten free attribute points. This was a huge loss!

With a heavy heart, Qiao Yu reached the third line of defense.

Unlike the second line, the third line was located in a barren desert!

As soon as Qiao Yu stepped onto the desert, the ground began to shake violently.

A towering mech figure emerged from the sand, standing nearly ten meters tall, its body gleaming with a cold metallic sheen.

It looked down at Qiao Yu as if he were an ant.

"WTF? Is this a Gundam?"

Qiao Yu gasped, shocked at the sight of a Gundam-like opponent.

Before Qiao Yu could think further, the massive mech's attack came at him like a fierce desert storm.

A fist larger than Qiao Yu himself came crashing down.

Qiao Yu punched back, and the two vastly different-sized fists collided.

To everyone's surprise, Qiao Yu's punch penetrated the mech's fist shell.

"This mech... seems a bit all show and no go..." Qiao Yu remarked with a strange expression.

This comment seemed to infuriate the mech, which revealed its trump card. The mech's panels opened, revealing an array of missiles inside.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

A barrage of missiles rained down on Qiao Yu.

A massive mushroom cloud erupted where Qiao Yu stood!
