Musclebound Necromancer?! Are You Kidding Me?

Chapter 60 – I can take down a Minotaur with one strike!

Qiao Yu was unaware that he was already being secretly watched.

After recovering from his injuries, he reached out to touch the Soul Core formed by Tian Ji.

"Fuck! What rotten luck!"

Qiao Yu cursed angrily. The Soul Core of Tian Ji was completely empty, just like Tian Xuan's earlier.

Could it be that his luck as The Lucky One was used up with Xun Dong? After taking down two NPCs in a row, he didn't get any equipment drops.

Qiao Yu shook his head and continued forward. The only thing to be happy about was that after defeating Tian Ji, his Strength attribute finally broke through 200 points!

"If I defeat all the Seven Generals, I should be able to reach level 11, right?"

Qiao Yu tilted his head. He still had a piece of Wild Spider Armor in his storage space.

After reaching the fourth line of defense, Qiao Yu shouted loudly.

"Tian Quan, come out, stop hiding."

The terrain of the fourth line of defense changed again, with towering stone forests and giant rocks everywhere.

"Looking for death! Who are you?"

A massive figure wielding dual axes stepped out from behind the city wall of the fourth line of defense, standing in front of Qiao Yu.

Surprisingly, this figure had a huge bull's head!

"Big brother, is this General Tian Quan?" Zhou Yuan asked.

"Yes, the Minotaur Tian Quan. It's said that the Pure Love War God, who was famous in the Inner World, died under the giant axe of the Minotaur Tian Quan," Zhou Hao said with a hint of apprehension on his face.

"Can this kid defeat Tian Quan?" Zhou Xiang asked.

"Just watch and see!"

Qiao Yu was also startled by Tian Quan's appearance.

"What the hell? A Minotaur? The thing I hate the most is Minotaurs! I can take down a Minotaur with one strike!"

Without further ado, Qiao Yu raised the Orient Loong God Crescent Blade and charged at Tian Quan.

In fact, he didn't really hate them; Qiao Yu's philosophy was that he could be tough on others, but others couldn't be tough on him.

"Looking for death!"

Tian Quan was enraged, swinging his giant axe in retaliation.

The immense destructive power easily split the giant rocks in half.

Tian Quan was incredibly fierce, and for a moment, even Qiao Yu was at a disadvantage.

"I haven't seen Tian Shu, Tian Xuan is skilled in speed, Tian Ji in defense, and Tian Quan in strength..."

"Could it be that each of the Mechanical Seven Generals has their own specialty?"

Qiao Yu pondered silently.

"Kid, you're distracted while fighting me? You're courting death!"

Tian Quan seized the opportunity and sent Qiao Yu flying with a single axe strike, embedding him heavily into a giant rock, the intense impact leaving Qiao Yu slightly dizzy.

"Alright, if you want to play, I'll play with you. I haven't seen an NPC who can match my strength yet!"

A hint of excitement and battle intent flashed in Qiao Yu's eyes as he dove down to counterattack, slashing at Tian Quan's face.

Tian Quan raised his giant axe to block.

"Can you withstand a strike with 200 points of Strength?"

Clang!

Tian Quan staggered back repeatedly, a notch appearing on his giant axe.

In contrast, Qiao Yu's Orient Loong God Crescent Blade remained unscathed, its blade gleaming.

"I refuse to believe you can beat me in strength!"

Tian Quan charged forward, swinging his giant axe.

Qiao Yu didn't dodge or evade, engaging Tian Quan head-on, their fight relying solely on strength rather than technique.

The passionate clash of the great blade and giant axe resulted in a new notch on Tian Quan's axe blade with each collision.

When the two separated, Tian Quan's axe blade had turned into a jagged saw.

"Moo!"

Tian Quan was so enraged that he resorted to his native tongue, discarding the giant axe and charging at Qiao Yu with his massive horns like an enraged bull.

However, Qiao Yu had anticipated this. He leaped into the air, soaring above Tian Quan, and swung the Orient Loong God Crescent Blade downward.

"My blade has been itching for action!"

Swoosh!

A mechanical horn flew high into the air, spinning continuously before embedding itself into the ground with a resonant hum.

Tian Quan clutched his severed horn, letting out a mournful bellow.

Under the watchful eyes of the Zhou Family Brothers, Tian Quan, Yu Heng, and Kai Yang, the Seven Generals fell one after another under Qiao Yu's blade, leaving only the last one, Yao Guang.

What made Qiao Yu curse was that after killing so many NPCs, not a single item dropped.

Could it be that he really had become The Unfortunate One?

"Third brother, did you see clearly? That kid's combat ability," Zhou Hao asked his brother Zhou Xiang.

"I saw it clearly, big brother! That kid relies on that big blade!" Zhou Xiang nodded excitedly.

"That kid used that blade from start to finish against his enemies, and he would often get severely injured and covered in blood, so it's the blade that's strong, not the kid!"

"Big brother, that blade must be a divine weapon. If we get our hands on it, we'll be set!"

Zhou Hao and Zhou Yuan's faces were equally filled with excitement, agreeing completely with Zhou Xiang's assessment.

They all believed that the blade in Qiao Yu's hand was a terrifying weapon.

If Colonel Mond were here, he would surely nod vigorously in agreement with Zhou Hao and his brothers.

Kindred spirits! I also thought that kid relied on that blade, but then he punched my mechanical arm off.

"Zhou Yuan, don't you have a skill called Silent Weapon, which can disarm? Use it directly later, and let's see how that kid fights us without his weapon!"

"Yes, big brother!"

As an Assassin, Zhou Yuan had used the Silent Weapon skill to unexpectedly take down many experts.

"Be careful, that kid is about to face Yao Guang, the most powerful Breaking Army Star of the Mechanical Seven Generals! We're ready to ambush at any time!" Zhou Hao said.

At this moment, Qiao Yu had already reached the final seventh line of defense, an ancient palace constructed from giant stones.

"Phew! Once I get through here, I can obtain the Heart of Mechanics."

Qiao Yu breathed a sigh of relief as the Empress Tower came into view not far away.

"Heh, is there really a human who can break into the seventh line of defense of the Mechanical Kingdom? How interesting."

Tap! Tap! Tap!

A series of steady footsteps approached, and a man emerged from the palace gates.

"Allow me to introduce myself. I am Yao Guang, one of the Seven Generals guarding the seventh line of defense."

Yao Guang was extraordinarily tall, standing like half a city wall.

An oppressive aura swept over Qiao Yu.

"Uh... hello, hello."

Yao Guang's politeness caught Qiao Yu off guard. Along the way, the Seven Generals had either shouted to attack or kill him.

How could there be a gentleman among the Seven Generals?

"Well, I won't bother with pleasantries, because you're about to die, and I don't have the habit of greeting the dead," Yao Guang said with a smile.

Qiao Yu: "..."

Fing hell, I just praised you for being polite, and now you're acting all high and mighty.

This is absurd, like getting on a thief's car—utterly ridiculous.

Yao Guang put on a pair of brass knuckles and gently asked Qiao Yu.

"Are you ready? Here I come."
