Chapter 101 A God Amongst Men

Qiao Yu was still unaware of the major changes that had occurred in Su City, let alone that the remaining four Saint-tier experts of the Xing family had met an untimely end.

At this moment, he was already hundreds of miles away, holding An Liya as he rapidly traversed the sky.

Having advanced to the Emperor-tier, he now possessed the ability to fly for short periods. The newly acquired free attribute points were unhesitatingly added to Strength by Qiao Yu.

Although he had already used the Warrior's Heart for mages, adding Strength was still his most cost-effective choice, thanks to a series of passive skills.

He couldn't help but glance at his attribute panel; his stats were probably the most exaggerated among all Emperor-tiers.

"Name: Qiao Yu

Class: Necromancer

Realm: Emperor-tier (lv53)

Strength: 4930 (Fist Shatters Stars)

Defense: 5555 (Impregnable Fortress)

Agility: 5555 (Seven In, Seven Out)

Spirit: 5555 (Sleeping Dragon)

Intelligence: 5555 (Young Phoenix)"

Living beings couldn't stay in the undead space for too long, or they would be corroded by the aura of the undead. Therefore, Qiao Yu could only carry An Liya and sprint.

Whenever he flew until he was about to run out of energy, Qiao Yu would descend from the sky and sprint at full speed.

He would then fly back into the sky when he recovered, repeating the cycle.

However, An Liya's aura was still gradually weakening.

"An Liya, cheer up!"

Qiao Yu was now anxious, but he was already moving at full speed.

Ahead lay the border of the Great Xia Ancient Kingdom. Just beyond it was the territory of the Western Alliance.

"Western border, halt!"

Two Emperor-tier Divine Guards had already spotted Qiao Yu, who was sprinting at top speed.

After all, Qiao Yu wasn't making any attempt to conceal himself, rushing over like a shooting star.

"Halt your ass! Get out of the way!"

Qiao Yu protected An Liya in his arms and then directly rammed into them with his powerful physical body.

The two Emperor-tier Divine Guards didn't even have time to react before they were sent flying by Qiao Yu.

They felt as if they had been hit by a meteorite, crashing heavily to the ground and coughing up large mouthfuls of blood.

Qiao Yu's speed didn't slow down in the slightest as he sped past them.

"What kind of monster is that?"

The two Divine Guards exchanged a look, their eyes filled with terror.

Little did they know that if Qiao Yu hadn't been unwilling to kill them, they would already be corpses.

"Quickly, go to the Divine Palace and summon the Seven Divine Guards! Tell them that a super expert from the Great Xia Ancient Kingdom has trespassed into the Western Alliance!"

The two Divine Guards hurriedly sent out a signal for help.

Top experts from the Great Xia Ancient Kingdom and the Western Alliance had always been very restrained, maintaining a policy of live and let live.

The sudden intrusion of such a strong expert into the Western Alliance couldn't help but alarm them.

However, Qiao Yu couldn't care less about all that now; he sprinted towards the direction of Divine Mountain.

Along the way, he ignored any obstacles he encountered, relying solely on his physical strength to bulldoze his way through.

With his current physical strength, no one below the Saint-tier was a match for him.

Soon, the outline of Divine Mountain vaguely appeared in Qiao Yu's field of vision.

Qiao Yu's face lit up with joy. At this speed, he would be able to reach the Meteor Fall Pit in just over ten minutes!

Just as Qiao Yu thought that this time he had a sure thing, terrifying flames suddenly erupted directly in front of him!

Then, from within those boundless flames, the Second Divine Guard, Gabriel, walked out with a sneer.

He was clad in golden armor, with dark red flames burning on his body, looking like a sinister spirit.

"The Divine Guards guarding the border said that a strong expert had broken into the Western Alliance. I thought it was some powerful figure, but it's just an Emperor-tier ant."

Gabriel glanced at Qiao Yu with disdain. Then, when he saw An Liya in Qiao Yu's arms, his eyes suddenly narrowed.

"So, you're the Qiao Yu who kidnapped the Divine Maiden?!"

Gabriel immediately guessed Qiao Yu's identity.

Qiao Yu took a deep breath and said in a low voice.

"If you still recognize An Liya as the Divine Maiden, let me pass and let me take her to Divine Mountain, or she'll die soon!"

"Heh, kid, do you think Gabriel is a three-year-old? You think you can fool me with such a clumsy excuse?"

The sneer on Gabriel's face deepened.

"I advise you to hand over the Divine Maiden obediently. Perhaps I can let you die quickly, so you won't have to suffer the pain of being burned by a hundred flames!"

"I'm not lying to you. What I'm saying is true!"

Qiao Yu's expression was serious. No one but him could pass through the endless sea of Chang ghouls and reach Hermes.

The horde of Chang ghouls deep within the Meteor Fall Pit was too terrifying. If it weren't for his ghost eyes connecting to the seal, he felt that even if they gathered the power of the entire Kaiji Star, it would be impossible to break through the Meteor Fall Pit.

"Heh, you can't fool Gabriel! I'll give you two choices: first, obediently hand over the Divine Maiden to me, and I'll leave you with a complete corpse; second, I'll burn you to ashes and then take the Divine Maiden away!"

Gabriel simply refused to believe Qiao Yu, stubbornly sticking to his own opinion.

"Since that's the case, then I'll just have to knock you down first."

Qiao Yu took a deep breath and then stored An Liya in the undead space.

"You're too naive!" Gabriel looked at Qiao Yu mockingly. "The entire area around Divine Mountain is covered with a net of heaven and earth. All the Saint-tiers of the Western Alliance are gathered around Divine Mountain."

"Don't even mention that you're not a match for me, Gabriel. Even if I let you pass, you'll never be able to set foot on Divine Mountain!"

"Alright, shut your mouth. I have a phobia of huge things; I'm afraid of big idiots like you."

Qiao Yu had a bit of a headache and didn't bother to explain any further to Gabriel.

"Today, I absolutely have to ascend this Divine Mountain!"

Qiao Yu didn't waste any more words. After biting down on the Dark Staff, the Candle Dragon Crescent Blade and the Crimson Flame Hammer appeared in his hands, one on each side.

Facing the Saint-tier Second Divine Guard Gabriel, he didn't hold back in the slightest, going all out from the start.

"Skeleton Legion!"

Countless skeleton warriors surged out, charging towards Gabriel.

Qiao Yu's Spirit and Intelligence combined were now over ten thousand. Even with a mass summoning skill, each skeleton warrior individually had combat power comparable to a King-tier.

"Hmph, petty tricks!"

Gabriel looked at the overwhelming number of skeleton soldiers and revealed a cold smile. As a Saint-tier fire mage, how could he lack group attack methods?

"Crimson Flame Sea!"

Gabriel pushed forward, and a sea of fire was placed horizontally between him and Qiao Yu. Any skeleton warrior who stepped into the sea of fire would be instantly cremated.

However, Qiao Yu naturally wouldn't let the little skeletons be killed by Gabriel at will.

"Wind of the Departed!"

Qiao Yu waved the Dark Staff, and a gust of wind swept over, the sound of the wind sounding like the wails and sighs of the dead, filled with a strong aura of death.

This was a wind blown out from the depths of the undead world, containing a strong aura of death. If ordinary people were blown by it, even their souls would be blown out of their bodies.

The Wind of the Departed blew past, directly extinguishing all the sea of fire. The skeleton warriors continued to charge towards Gabriel, stepping on the scorched earth.

Shen Jianshu's special training for Qiao Yu finally came into perfect play after Qiao Yu's Spirit and Intelligence were improved.

"To think a mere Emperor-tier could extinguish my Crimson Flame Sea? Not bad!"

Gabriel was taken aback, and then his expression began to become serious.

"Hmph! But if you think that this is enough to defeat me, Gabriel, then you're too naive!"

"Qiao Yu, right! I've remembered your name!"

"For a mere Emperor-tier to be able to force me, the Second Divine Guard Gabriel, to go all out, even if you go to hell, you can be proud enough!"

Looking at the skeleton warriors getting closer and closer, Gabriel didn't panic at all.

Just as Gabriel was about to say a few more harsh words, the skeleton warrior in front of him suddenly turned into Qiao Yu.

Then, a large hammer burning with flames smashed towards Gabriel's mouth.

"I curse your grandma, you snake-skin elephant clam! We're fighting, you just yap too damn much!"
