Heroes' Prison

Chapter 319 - 312 Charge Breaks Invisibility

Everyone turned back to look behind them.

They saw a towering and imposing raptor, about three meters tall, with bulging muscles that oozed explosive strength. It had a fierce gaze like lightning and bore a horn on its head that seemed to pierce the sky. Its mouth bristled with sharp teeth, and its limbs were armed with gleaming claws. As it surveyed its surroundings, a wild and restless aura emanated from its eyes, as if it could break free at any moment and wreak havoc.

Mounted on the raptor’s back was a handsome man who looked down at Mirror Broken amidst the crowd, wielding a pair of giant black axes in each hand, possessing the might to split mountains and sever the earth.

The combination of man and beast was like an invincible war god on the battlefield, capable of charging in and out of a million-strong army, instantly drawing all eyes to them.

"So, this is the raptor? I’ve finally seen it! Truly domineering! If my donkey saw this raptor, I bet it would collapse on the spot from fear."

"My deer wouldn’t fare any better. If I had an Earthwalking Dragon too, even a lowly Duck-billed Dragon would satisfy me!"

"I’ve only seen Heavenly Dao’s raptor on the forums before, but Instakill’s here seems different, it even has a horn on its head. I wonder what breed it is!"

"It won’t be long before I have my Earthwalking Dragon! I’ve already obtained an Earth Dragon Reins, just need to gather another 2 million, and I can enter Earth Dragon Valley to catch my own Earthwalking Dragon."

...

The crowd instantly buzzed with discussion, as most of them laid eyes on a mount like the Earthwalking Dragon for the first time, and it was one of the more powerful ones, the raptor, at that. They stared, awe-struck, as if it was a mighty mount they might never capture in their lifetimes.

"Instakill, since our last battle, I have been waiting for this day with great difficulty!" Mirror Broken stared at Huang Yi with a dismissive expression, making a throat-slitting gesture with the dagger in his hand, brimming with confidence.

At this moment, the crowd had automatically parted to create a path for Huang Yi’s raptor to walk through into the circle, standing opposite Mirror Broken.

"Brother Instakill, you, you’re here!" At this time, those members of the Hero Guild looked up excitedly at Huang Yi, as if beholding a Heavenly God descending to earth. It was their first time seeing a world-class figure like Huang Yi so close, and they were somewhat tongue-tied.

"Step back, leave what’s coming to me." Huang Yi nodded at those members and then turned to Nameless, saying, "Nameless, you don’t have to bother with Mirror Broken, because after today, there will only be three great assassins left in China, and Mirror Broken will be removed from that list."

Huang Yi’s words, spoken as casually as a breeze under a clear sky, evoked an inexplicable sense of conviction.

The cameras that the surrounding people had turned on captured Huang Yi saying this!

Such a bold statement, to strip Mirror Broken of his position as one of the Four Great Assassins of China! The crowd held their breath, ready to witness this pinnacle battle, while some players sent messages calling their friends and family to watch the showdown together.

"Quite the mouthful, you think I don’t know your true weight? Last time I spared your life. Otherwise, you wouldn’t even qualify to stand here and talk to me today!" Mirror Broken sneered, but there was no movement from his hands; he still stood there quietly.

"Your taunting is too naive!" said Huang Yi as he dismounted from the raptor, looking at Mirror Broken, "Your reluctance to take action is merely due to fear of entering a Sinful State. But a truly confident person does not fear a Sinful State!" With those words, Huang Yi flicked a thumb-sized yellow flame from his hand toward Mirror Broken, touching him lightly.

The next moment, Huang Yi’s body was suddenly enveloped in a surge of Blood Qi, entering the Sinful State.

But the small flame did not harm Mirror Broken, showing that Huang Yi had deliberately attacked first, openly taking on the Sinful State.

This scene once again drew admiration from the crowd.

"That’s the demeanor of a true master! Mirror Broken has been here all day hesitating to make a move, but Instakill just went straight for it, even using the weakest attack to harm the opponent, taking on the Sinful State willingly."

"There’s more! Instakill dismounted from that raptor, indicating he doesn’t rely on a powerful mount and set aside this advantage, choosing to fight with his own strength."

...

Hearing the crowd’s comments, Mirror Broken’s lips twitched slightly, his face looking a bit sour. But being an established figure for a long time, he quickly adjusted, smiling faintly and glancing at a particular area in the crowd.

There, a few youths stood, watching Mirror Broken without blinking.

"Watch closely, see how I defeat Instakill! By the time I’m done, not even his corpse will remain!" Mirror Broken said to the youths. As he spoke, he suddenly whipped out a hand crossbow, unleashing a burst of fire at Huang Yi, his hands moving so fast they were a blur, catching even the spectating Nameless by surprise.

Yet Huang Yi’s reactions were even faster. With a slight lift of his broadaxe, like a shield, he effortlessly blocked the three crossbow arrows.

"Sss!" At that moment, a sound like a hissing serpent rang out from behind Huang Yi, and a flash of cold light burst forth. Another Mirror Broken appeared behind him, clutching a dagger firmly and thrusting viciously at Huang Yi’s neck.

"Clang!" In an instant, Huang Yi’s other hand swung an axe backward and blocked his back, the dagger striking the surface of the axe and failing to harm him.

Just now, Mirror Broken launched an attack from a tricky angle and with tremendous speed, pincering Huang Yi from the front and back, the two strikes occurring in the blink of an eye. But Huang Yi, without even using skills, relied solely on his reaction speed and super-fast attack speed to defend from both the front and rear with his left and right hands, turning his axes into shields that firmly protected his chest and back.

The audience gasped at Mirror Broken’s assault, as they hadn’t even realized what happened until moments later.

And Huang Yi’s impromptu defense left the viewers with their minds blank, taking a long time to come to grips with what they just saw!

In that moment, Huang Yi had responded with a defense almost simultaneously with Mirror Broken’s attack! Could this be a level of reaction speed achievable by humans?

"Hmm? How did his Agility Attribute suddenly increase so much!" This was significant for Mirror Broken, and he suddenly sensed something was off. He had previously fought Huang Yi’s incarnation and knew intimately how weak those Attributes were. Yet now, Huang Yi seemed to have improved several times over, much faster in agility than before.

However, Mirror Broken had no time to ponder, as Huang Yi was already launching a fierce counterattack against the Mirror Broken clone behind him!

"Whoosh!" Huang Yi’s axe moved with ferocity, swiftly chopping down towards the clone of Mirror Broken behind him!

Mirror Broken quickly made the clone retreat!

His strategic mistake last time was sacrificing several clones, which only made Huang Yi complacent and provided him the chance to ambush. However, this tactic was proven to be a failure.

Today, his tactic was to preserve the clones, using each one to continuously harass Huang Yi, exhausting him, before finding an opportunity to make his move.

Mirror Broken was much more agile than Huang Yi, and he began to retreat just as the axe was about to land!

"Swoosh!" Huang Yi’s figure suddenly flashed toward the actual body of Mirror Broken in the distance, moving in a way that seemed utterly unpredictable!

Surprise flickered in Mirror Broken’s eyes, and his body suddenly faded, vanishing into thin air—an Invisibility had been used.

Huang Yi had just used "Pursuit," which after fusing with the Ambush Slash Rune, provided him with five opportunities to charge. However, now that Mirror Broken was invisible, he had lost his target, and without the power of The Third Eye, he could only seek out Mirror Broken using revealing items or transforming into a Half-Beastman form to utilize Tracking Scent.

But both methods were too cumbersome, so Huang Yi decided to break the Invisibility with a charge!

He still had four charges left, and assessing the situation, he quickly guessed the likeliest direction for Mirror Broken to escape and charged like lightning in that direction!

Yet this charge did not impact anything, indicating a misjudgment!

Huang Yi rapidly calculated in his mind—if Mirror Broken had escaped in another direction, based on his Movement Speed, he would likely have reached a certain spot by now.

Then, he sprinted toward that location, covering 40 meters in the blink of an eye, but still failed to hit anything.

Huang Yi continued to calculate and initiated his fourth charge.

This time, halfway through his charge, Huang Yi finally perceived something odd beside him, as if he had just brushed past something!

The sensation was very faint and fleeting, leaving no time for thought!

Huang Yi instantly set off on his fifth charge, heading straight for the place he had just sensed!

"Boom!" Huang Yi moved too fast to be seen clearly, and he violently collided with something!

The next moment, Mirror Broken’s figure appeared in the air as his Invisibility was broken by Huang Yi’s charge, revealing his form on the spot!

By now, the surrounding audience was completely dumbfounded. After Mirror Broken had become invisible, Huang Yi seemed to be charging aimlessly, but on the fifth attempt, he suddenly struck Mirror Broken, exposing him!

In less than a second, each charge was only a blur, the speed too fast to discern, but by the time they saw clearly, Mirror Broken had been flushed out from Stealth Mode.

"How could Instakill possess such legendary deductive ability?" Nameless murmured to himself after witnessing this. (To be continued.
