Heroes' Prison

Chapter 352 - 344: Arrival of the Holy Domain Warrior

Just then, a voice suddenly echoed between heaven and earth—

"[System Announcement]: Since no one in the mainland can handle [God of Slaughter], after discussion, it has been decided to send a Holy Domain Warrior to personally pursue and kill [God of Slaughter] in the Mainland China Zone."

The Half-Beast Holy Land had personally taken action.

With this, Huang Yi finally felt a sense of crisis, knowing that it would be effortless for a Holy Domain Warrior to kill him. He was now Level 83, and although that was only 17 levels behind the lowest Level 100 Holy Domain Warrior, the difference in strength was as vast as the difference between heaven and earth!

Even if he were to reach Level 99, just one level short of 100, it would not make any difference. Level 100 was an absolute divide; a hundred Level 99 players could not handle a single Level 100 Holy Domain Warrior. That was the disparity.

Although Huang Yi had previously killed three Holy Domain Warriors, those were opportunistic kills.

The first Holy Domain Warrior, Black Wolf, was first seriously injured by the White Dragon King, then finished off by the Sand King when he had only a breath left;

The second Holy Domain Warrior, Black Serpent, got trapped in the Sand Thief King’s Underground Palace, forced into a dead end by the Criminal Incarnation, and then blown up by the Mysterious Python;

The third Holy Domain Warrior was the Half-Beast Chieftain he annihilated not long ago, who had also been left severely injured by a group of Criminal Incarnations while trying to save his tribe, and was then killed by Huang Yi.

The deaths of these criminals were all due to attacks by other Holy Domain Warriors. But now, the Half-Beast Holy Land was sending a Holy Domain Warrior specifically to hunt down Huang Yi! This was different from before.

This time, Huang Yi couldn’t deploy his Criminal Incarnations to exhaust the chaser’s strength like he did with the Half-Beast Chieftain, because the pursuer could simply flee if the battle turned unfavorable and did not need to struggle to the death with the Incarnations. Unlike the previous Chieftain, who stayed put to protect his tribe of over a million brethren, without retreating from the fight.

With Heroes’ Prison no longer an ace up his sleeve, Huang Yi was suddenly in grave danger!

He did not know how high level that Holy Domain Warrior was. Both Level 100 and 199 are within the Holy Domain, but the difference in strength between them is massive.

And since the Guardian of Dragon City, Sand King, had already been exposed, that Holy Domain Warrior from the Half-Beast Holy Land wouldn’t foolishly seek trouble in Dragon City. It was almost certain the warrior would lie in ambush in the wilderness, or wait just outside Dragon City’s territory. The moment he ventured into the wild, that would be his time of death, unless he stayed in the city forever, never venturing outside.

As Huang Yi hurried on his way, he pondered methods to deal with the Holy Domain Warrior. If the Holy Domain Warrior used special methods to travel from the Central Continent to here, he would arrive in a few days, and within that time, Huang Yi needed to come up with a plan.

He was now at a critical juncture between life and death. If he did not handle this matter properly, his future in The Second World would be extremely difficult.

...

Finally, Huang Yi arrived at the territory of his target guild for the day. This guild was named [Cornucopia]; it seemed the president hoped to amass a fortune for the guild, but tonight, his dream would be shattered.

Cornucopia was a sizeable guild that had established a rather bustling Guild City. The outer areas were heavily guarded, with patrols holding torches everywhere. Ever since Huang Yi began destroying many guilds recently, these guilds had heightened their security to avoid his invasion.

But no matter how tight the security, there would be a lapse. Patiently waiting for a while, Huang Yi finally seized an opportunity and flew in with the flap of his wings.

What followed was a routine that he was all too familiar with. Huang Yi unleashed the Criminal Incarnations from Heroes’ Prison and let them wear down the Guardian Mechas in the city!

Suddenly, the Guild City descended into chaos. The shockwaves of the battle killed a large number of people, leaving rubble and debris everywhere and bodies strewn all over. Survivors began to scatter and flee, their faces filled with despair.

They all knew that the God of Slaughter, Huang Yi, had arrived. With guild after guild being wiped out previously, now it was finally their turn. Huang Yi had never failed before; appearing and disappearing unpredictably, no number of people could kill him, and the annihilation of their guild was a foregone conclusion.

Indeed, when the Criminal Incarnation finally fell in battle, all the guild members heard a merciless system announcement: their Guild War Flag had been taken down, and the guild was forcibly disbanded!

This guild that they had worked so hard to create, using a great deal of manpower, material, and financial resources to build up its territory, was now destroyed in an instant!

Actually, if it were someone else, even those on the same level as Dragon Spike or Thunder God, such a situation wouldn’t have occurred today because their capacity for destruction is limited. They don’t have Heroes’ Prison nor the criminals to serve as enforcers, incapable of boldly annihilating guild after guild like Huang Yi. These are guilds founded with real money, possessing formidable defenses, not so easily destroyed, unless a massive guild war is launched with substantial financial and material resources to fuel the battle.

But Huang Yi is different. He has Heroes’ Prison, which these days, has already bankrupted countless people.

Many guild presidents have actually borrowed money in the real world and converted it into virtual coins to gradually build up their guilds. They were preparing to make a big splash and profit in The Second World, only to have their efforts ruthlessly demolished by Huang Yi.

Perhaps from now on, these guild presidents will live a life of dodging debts, destitute and constantly on the move, with their families shattered, their whole lives changed by this very incident. This is the turning point in people’s lives, where simply by allying themselves with the wrong side, their once beautiful lives are ruined.

"Ah! Instakill, I have squandered my entire fortune, borrowing money from relatives and friends and mortgaging my company to secure a large bank loan to build this guild city! Just like that, you’ve destroyed it...." At this moment, the president of this guild, Hanging Ghost, began to scream hysterically.

"Swoosh!" What awaited him was Huang Yi’s Pursuit, followed by several Heavy Judgment strikes raining down, killing the guild president before he could even finish cursing, and, unluckily, he was reincarnated.

Huang Yi leisurely looted the guild city, taking what he could carry and burning or smashing what he couldn’t, reducing the city to ruins.

Afterward, he left the place without looking back.

Surviving players hid in the distance, watching his receding figure with terror, amidst the flickering flames and dust. He walked on scorched earth and magma, his silhouette looking exceptionally grim, like a true Demon King, turning wherever he went into a wasteland and scorched earth.

Gradually, the night passed.

Huang Yi logged off, left his cell, and made his way to the cafeteria.

"Ah-Yi!" Just then, Thunder God’s voice came from behind him.

Turning his head, Huang Yi saw Lei Shen had also just left his cell, preparing to come out for breakfast.

"I heard the announcement last night. Now, the Half-beastmen Holy Land has dispatched a Holy Domain warrior to kill you. Are you confident you can handle it?" Thunder God walked up, keeping pace with Huang Yi.

Huang Yi shook his head slightly, "There is a way, but I’m not one hundred percent certain. However, as long as I hide in Dragon City, even the Holy Domain warrior wouldn’t dare to enter. My Dragon City has Level 195 Guardians. Not even a Holy Domain warrior would dare to cause trouble there."

"That’s a relief! Yesterday, we finally found that Half-Beast Tribe in Muguang Forest that you mentioned. We’ve wiped them out, but their leader, the young Half-beast Chieftain named Bloody Night, Liu Ying, escaped. We couldn’t kill him, so you should be wary. That guy might be a ticking time bomb, always looking for a chance at you," Thunder God warned.

"It doesn’t matter. Now that I am completely at odds with the Half-Beast Race, all Half-Beastmen are my enemies. They’re all going after me," Huang Yi shook his head indifferently, changing the subject, "You’ve wiped out that tribe, how was the loot?"

Upon this topic, Thunder God revealed a slight smile, "The seized wealth was more bountiful than I imagined. A total of 8 billion Gold Coins in assets. Now we can build another 16 Deep Sea Battleships! The one we built before has already set sail, ready for a trial run. We’re bringing along Mica Stones worth a hundred million Gold Coins, planning to head to the Australia Continent, where Mica Stone is very scarce and the price is twenty times what it is here! If the trade is successful, that’ll be a twentyfold windfall. Also, Seahorse Mounts are cheap over there. We plan to bring some back. Here, amphibious mounts like seahorses are very scarce!"

Huang Yi nodded slightly, fully able to imagine the immense profits of transoceanic trade. Each continent has its unique goods, and at the dawn of communication between continents, the first guilds to master maritime trade would reap enormous profits. It was just like Europe during the Age of Discovery, where maritime nations exploited transoceanic trade, either through plundering or bartering, to amass vast wealth. And in The Second World, Thunder God was already at the forefront.

The two quickly finished breakfast, making haste to return to their cells and ready themselves to strive in The Second World.

Huang Yi did some exercises, getting his condition up to its best before logging on to check the forum.

"Holy Domain warriors from the Half-beastmen have arrived at the Mainland China Zone. How much longer can Instakill run rampant?"

The first post, prominently featuring news of the Holy Domain warrior, caught Huang Yi’s interest immediately, and he clicked to read more.

"According to reports, following last night’s system announcement, the Holy Domain warrior sent by the Half-beastmen Holy Land arrived swiftly in the Mainland China Zone using special methods. He’s currently staying in a large Half-Beast Tribe. This Half-beastmen Holy Domain Warrior has been warmly welcomed by the tribe’s Chieftain, also of Holy Domain Rank, and player representatives from the Allied Guilds in the China region have already gone to greet him, handing over detailed information about Instakill. This time, the Half-beastmen are thoroughly prepared, and with the Holy Domain Warrior personally taking action, the hunt for Instakill will be swift and thunderous! How much longer can the once-dominant and brutal God of Slaughter maintain his arrogance?"
