Heroes' Prison

Chapter 321 - 314: Huang Yi’s Most Classic Battle

The next moment, Huang Yi’s palm clenched slightly and the Net of Justice quickly retracted, bringing Mirror Broken to his side in the blink of an eye. The audience’s gaze still lingered where Mirror Broken had originally been, unable to follow back in time.

And by then, Huang Yi’s first axe had already flown back to his hand!

He directly smashed down a Heavy Judgment onto Mirror Broken!

Panic filled Mirror Broken’s eyes, he needed less than half a second to regain his Freedom of the Body, after which he could break free and employ the various escape techniques of an assassin, as elusive as a dragon returning to the sea.

But at this moment, Huang Yi’s Heavy Judgment left him uncertain, he was completely unable to predict whether the Dizzy Duration would end before the axe smashed down!

However, Mirror Broken did not give up his resistance entirely, he had a backup plan. Though his real body was dizzied for two seconds, during those two seconds he could still control his clones, and all three were already by Huang Yi’s side!

"Hiss! Hiss!" At that moment, two flashes of cold light burst from the air behind Huang Yi, as Mirror Broken’s two clones appeared, each holding a dagger and stabbing swiftly toward Huang Yi!

"Thunk! Thunk! Thunk!" Simultaneously, Mirror Broken’s first clone shot three crossbow arrows at Huang Yi with the speed of lightning!

At this point, Mirror Broken’s only hope was that his attacks would land on Huang Yi first!

During his recent battle with Huang Yi in the forest, he had determined that Huang Yi was very fragile; just one stab with his dagger could empty his Health Points, although last time Huang Yi was left with a sliver of life and didn’t die immediately. But now, with three clones attacking Huang Yi at once, if one attack didn’t kill him, the second and third attacks, falling simultaneously, would certainly be fatal!

In that instant, Huang Yi sensed the attacks from behind, but he didn’t care, making no move to dodge, ready to trade his life with Mirror Broken’s!

By this time, some of the quicker-reacting players had returned their focus, and at that moment, they saw the final image of this battle—

Mirror Broken’s three clones’ attacks landed on Huang Yi first, the two daggers and three crossbow arrows hitting him hard!

For a moment, Mirror Broken allowed himself a slight smile, ready to witness Huang Yi’s death.

But suddenly, his expression went blank, because he saw Huang Yi’s remaining Health Points—

96%!

The attacks from his three clones had only taken away 4% of Huang Yi’s Health Points!

Mirror Broken’s mind went blank. The Huang Yi before him shattered his perception; he had always thought Huang Yi was so fragile that a few hits from his clones would drain his health.

And now, a Huang Yi solid as an iron board stood before him!

However, Mirror Broken could no longer contemplate this, because Huang Yi’s Heavy Judgment had already come crashing down!

"Boom!" The next moment, Mirror Broken was smashed into a spray of flesh, his blood scattering in the air and splattering the faces of the onlookers.

And those spectators were jolted into action by the blood on their faces, quickly turning their heads towards Huang Yi, only to see a sky full of blood and flesh, with Mirror Broken nowhere to be seen.

The crowd on the field seemed to collectively freeze for a moment, all staring silently at Huang Yi.

In the stunned gazes of the crowd, Huang Yi reached out, wiping the fresh blood off his face. His handsome face was suddenly smeared with blood, looking somewhat ferocious.

After a few seconds, the crowd finally realized the outcome of the battle - Huang Yi had won! Mirror Broken left not even a corpse behind, exploding into a sky of blood and flesh.

And just four seconds before the battle started, Mirror Broken had told his teammate that he would leave Huang Yi without a corpse to claim, but only four seconds later, it was he who was left without a corpse.

This battle was incredibly brief, lasting only four seconds, practically the duration of a single breath.

But in just these four seconds, one of China’s Four Great Assassins, Mirror Broken, was killed by Huang Yi, leaving not even a body behind—

In the first second, Mirror Broken initiated the attack; his real body fired crossbow bolts straight ahead, while his clones backstabbed from behind Huang Yi, sandwiching him in a pincer move, but Huang Yi quickly defended with his twin axes!

In the second second, Huang Yi began his counterattack; he swung his axe at the clone behind him, which quickly retreated. Then Huang Yi suddenly activated his Charge Skill toward Mirror Broken’s real body; Mirror Broken decisively used Invisibility to flee. Immediately after, Huang Yi performed five rapid charges in a row, forcibly deducing Mirror Broken’s location, stunning him and breaking his Invisibility.

In the third second, Huang Yi slammed a Heavy Judgment at Mirror Broken, but Mirror Broken avoided it with Forced Teleportation. Huang Yi then switched to his right hand and launched a Flying Axe, which Mirror Broken dodged by using Flash to weave into the crowd and evade again. Huang Yi followed with a left-handed Flying Axe, while casting Net of Justice over Mirror Broken.

In the fourth second, unable to escape any longer, Mirror Broken was hit by Huang Yi’s left-handed Flying Axe, knocked out of the crowd, and quickly ensnared by Huang Yi’s Net of Justice and dragged back to his side. Immediately afterward, Mirror Broken’s three duplicates attacked Huang Yi, dealing only 4% damage to his Health Points, but Huang Yi’s Heavy Judgment smashed Mirror Broken into pieces.

Within a brief span of 4 seconds, an almost negligible amount of time, the duel between these experts came to a close!

Every second was filled with multiple shifts, with even the slightest inattention capable of altering the course of the battle.

This level of combat left many spectators unable to comprehend what they saw, without even enough time to react!

However, it was certain that this would be a battle to shock the world, and these spectators couldn’t imagine the uproar that would ensue once they uploaded the video to the forums!

This was Huang Yi’s only one-on-one duel to date, and the briefest and most classic battle of them all.

During the encounter at Wind Forest Stronghold, Huang Yi merely cashed in on an opportunity, with most of the work done by his Demon Monkey duplicate;

At Dragon City, when Huang Yi slaughtered over three hundred thousand players including Feng Zhi, he displayed his sheer unstoppable strength, unrelated to skill;

But in this battle, Huang Yi didn’t use any large-area attack skills, relying purely on combat techniques. In just 4 seconds, he killed Mirror Broken, one of the renowned Four Great Assassins in China!

This was destined to become a battle remembered by countless people and one of the most classic duels in The Second World. In just 4 seconds, Huang Yi set a record that showed the entire world the maximum time it could take for a warrior to kill a top-level assassin: a mere 4 seconds!

Even a year or two later, as players’ power level generally reached the Holy Domain Boundary far surpassing Huang Yi’s current strength, many still revisited this video. They would slow down the footage, studying every frame and every image, as it was a battle that would never become outdated.

"You guys must be Mirror Broken’s buddies, right?" Huang Yi approached the stunned youngsters calmly and asked.

Those teenagers were Mirror Broken’s little fans. In their eyes, Mirror Broken was a deity. They followed him here, ready to witness him demonstrate his might and toy Huang Yi to death. Yet, they only watched for 4 seconds before their deity was slaughtered by Huang Yi, leaving not even a corpse behind.

Now, as Huang Yi posed this question, they all shivered, feeling the temperature around them drop sharply as if winter had come. If Huang Yi sought to eliminate Mirror Broken’s associates, they would be the first to die without a chance to resist.

"Tell Mirror Broken that if he troubles anyone from Hero Guild again, it won’t be death he faces, but Reincarnation," said Huang Yi lightly as if it were a task easily accomplished.

Then, under their fearful gaze, Huang Yi turned and walked over to the Raptor, mounted it,

and after greeting Nameless and a few members of the Hero Guild, he quickly left the scene, leaving behind only a bloodstained silhouette.

"God of Slaughter, that’s the God of Slaughter indeed!" Long after, a player in the crowd exclaimed excitedly!

"Even Dao Feng and his cohort are nothing by comparison!"

"Brother Long, quick, tell me what just happened? After Instakill broke Mirror Broken’s Invisibility, what went on? I was stunned for a moment and missed it all!"

"I didn’t get it either! God of Slaughter moved too fast; I’m fairly skilled, but I didn’t understand the moves just now. I need to play back the video and watch in slow motion!"

"How about that, our Guild Master is strong, isn’t he? To those wanting to join Hero Guild, pay attention, in a few days our Hero Guild will be upgraded to level 7, opening a million new member slots. If you’re an expert, get ready to join quickly, or you’ll miss your chance!" At this moment, Nameless managed to suppress his excitement and shouted to the onlookers.

But his slightly trembling voice betrayed his shock. He had known Huang Yi was strong but had never witnessed him duel solo. Seeing it firsthand today left him deeply astounded, realizing they were not on the same level at all.

More importantly, Huang Yi hadn’t gone all out from beginning to end. He didn’t use the Raptor, his Exclusive Skills, or any of the wide-area attack skills. If he had truly unleashed his full potential, the battle might have ended even quicker.

...

At that moment, Huang Yi was also reflecting on the recent battle; indeed, he hadn’t used his full strength.

However, the reason the fight was so brief was largely because of Mirror Broken’s underestimation. Assuming his Incarnation was his true self, he severely underestimated Huang Yi’s power. Now that Huang Yi appeared in person, Mirror Broken’s battle strategy was immediately rendered useless.

Actually, Mirror Broken was incredibly strong, with reactions in critical moments far exceeding those of ordinary people. His title as one of the Four Great Assassins in China was not for show, as he genuinely possessed that strength. (To be continued.
