Chapter 365: Decisive Killing

"No problem!" Soul of Vengeance nodded.

"Instakill! The Light Demon is in my hands now, you better come out and trade your life for his!" Just then, the commanding voice of a Half-Beastmen resounded through heaven and earth, and the entirety of Dragon City could hear it!

In an instant, everyone understood that another pivotal moment had arrived!

Some fearless players hurried toward the direction of the voice, while others posted the news on forums as soon as possible, attracting the attention of a vast number of netizens.

"Have the guts to come in and fight us head-on! You Holy Domain Warriors, to deal with an 87th-level character, you actually stoop to kidnapping as a despicable tactic. Don’t you think it’s a disgrace to the face of Holy Domain Warriors?" At this time, Sand King also shouted back loudly at the distant foes.

"If you will not make a move and let me fight him one on one, then I am willing to enter the fray!" the Half-Beastmen retorted defiantly.

Gradually, Huang Yi arrived at the border of the territory with a group of Guardians.

Standing there and looking out, the outside was a sea of people. They were the fifteen million people under the command of Ice Wind Water Soul, now all gathered outside, looking to take advantage of the situation.

And those eighty-plus Half-Beastmen were currently at the forefront of the crowd, staring arrogantly at Huang Yi inside the territory.

Huang Yi turned his head and searched around, quickly locating the Light Demon, who was immobilized in front of a 195th-level Half-Beastmen, unable to move.

"Instakill, you’ve been hiding like a scared turtle for so long, it’s time to come out! Now you must make a choice—either he dies, or you die!" the 195th-level Half-Beastmen glanced at Huang Yi inside the territory and then at the Light Demon on the ground, and snorted coldly.

Another Holy Domain Half-Beastmen took up the taunt, "Instakill, you’re relying on those Holy Domain Guardians behind you, but it’s futile. They can only stay within the territory, and even though we are within reach, they can’t attack us. Give up on that hope!"

By then, some players had started recording and were live-streaming the event to the forum.

The crowd of fifteen million spectators behind the Holy Domain Half-Beastmen watched on excitedly, staring at the Holy Domain Half-Beastmen and Huang Yi shouting. Now that the Holy Domain Half-Beastmen had taken a hostage, they had a clear advantage, and they could finally watch Huang Yi eat humble pie and see the God of Slaughter fall before their eyes.

Huang Yi surveyed the surroundings, his gaze sweeping over the mass of players, over the group of Holy Domain Half-Beastmen, through every player’s video feed on the forums, and loudly declared, "Harming those close to me is what I loathe the most, it is my reverse scale. Originally, when Chen Yuxi from Wind Forest Stronghold injured our kin, I destroyed Wind Forest Stronghold; later, when Dragon City was besieged, Feng Zhi harmed Qin Shiyu, so I killed all of Feng Zhi’s men; when the Half-Beast Tribe kidnapped Qin Shiyu, I wiped out their tribe."

Huang Yi’s tone grew stern as he continued, "Every time I make a move, it’s not about provoking intentionally, but merely for revenge. It’s you who have crossed my bottom line time and time again, leaving me no choice. Now, I want to tell you that in the future, if you want to deal with me, come at me directly, and I will regard you as a respected opponent. If you target those around me, then you will face my wrath a thousandfold, no matter who you are, even if it’s a group of Holy Domain Warriors sent by the Half-Beast Holy Land! Today, I want to tell everyone that taking hostages is ineffective against me, whether it’s the first time, the second time, or even the tenth time, I will always save them, and you will always fail! Not to mention the consequences will be far worse than directly confronting me!"

In that moment, Huang Yi’s sharp gaze swept over everyone present, and the warning in his eyes deeply imprinted itself into every person’s heart!

If an ordinary player had said these words, it could have been dismissed as bluster, but coming from Huang Yi, it felt like a real warning, a promise that could be fulfilled.

"Instakill, you sure talk a lot! If you have the ability, then take action, let us see what you are capable of," Ice Wind Water Soul shouted at Huang Yi from a distance, a look of expectation on his face.

"Instakill, just come out of your territory! If you keep blathering like this, I may just have to harm the Light Demon!" the Half-Beastmen said impatiently.

Huang Yi looked around and shook his head, "I don’t need to come out, because in the next moment, you’ll be within the range of my territory!"

After saying this, Huang Yi immediately used the highest guild authority and spent the contribution value painstakingly accumulated over the past two days to choose to expand the Dragon City sub-territory by fifty kilometers!

"[System Prompt]: The radius of fifty kilometers outside the territory encroaches on another guild’s territory and cannot expand. The territory is located 312 kilometers southwest, and you must destroy that guild before you can expand your territory."

A System Prompt, like a bucket of cold water, poured down!

His territory, it could no longer expand!

"Ha! Instakill, aren’t you surprised?" Ice Wind Water Soul’s mocking laughter coincided perfectly, as if he’d been waiting for this moment to unleash it, "Did you want to expand your territory but found you could not?"

Ice Wind Water Soul’s laugh was full of satisfaction, and it was hysterical!

It was his own hand that had thwarted Huang Yi!

Two days ago, during a meeting with the senior leaders of the Wind Kingdom, he had already dispatched God Without Darkness to leave the Guild and create a new one, embedding its territory somewhere outside of Dragon City to prevent Huang Yi from expanding!

Since the range of each territory is distributed in a circular shape, every expansion is equivalent to enlarging the radius of this circle, expanding the boundaries in all directions simultaneously. As long as there is another Guild’s territory blocking any area, expansion cannot proceed unless that Guild can be uprooted.

This was the trump card he had kept up his sleeve, waiting for this very moment to take effect!

In the past two days, every time he thought of this move, he relished it endlessly, even admiring himself for his incredible foresight and meticulous planning.

Now, he felt as if he had the overall situation under control, even having Huang Yi play right into his hands.

"Instakill, that method of expanding your territory was good for one-time use, and now you want to pull the same trick again? We’re not fools! Feeling frustrated now, aren’t you? I foresaw this move of yours; I had my subordinate install a Guild Territory just outside Dragon City, blocking your expansion. Weren’t you acting tough just now? Weren’t you making fierce threats a moment ago? Didn’t you say that kidnapping you was futile? What now?" Ice Wind Water Soul said gleefully, her voice echoing in the ears of fifteen million players, resonating in the live streams of countless players on the forum.

"So the boss had this backup plan! Truly like a prophecy!" The fifteen million people were taken aback and immediately started discussing.

Now, Huang Yi had fallen into a severe disadvantage, in stark contrast to the warning he had issued just before.

"Instakill, the Guild Territory I installed is in another direction from Dragon City, three hundred kilometers away from here, so you definitely won’t be able to eliminate that Guild in a short time. However, I’ll give you a way out. If you kneel down and kowtow to me, I’ll have my subordinate pull out the War Flag, allowing you to expand your Guild smoothly. How does that sound? You just need to kowtow three times!" Ice Wind Water Soul said, stroking her chin and smiling at Huang Yi.

Huang Yi glanced at Ice Wind Water Soul and shook his head, "Is this all you aspire to? Laughing at such a despicable scheme, it’s no wonder you’re forever a puppet being manipulated by others, used by the real villains behind the scenes."

After speaking, he took out a stone from his storage ring. The stone was fist-sized, flesh-pink in color, and somewhat shaped like a heart.

This stone was none other than the Heart of the Tribe — which he had acquired after slaying the Half-Beast Chieftain during his previous visit to the Half-Beast Tribe —

Heart of the Tribe (Special Item)

Can create a tribe, the size of which must not exceed one hundred square kilometers, and can allow the tribe to join a power, making the tribe a territory of that power; the creator becomes the Chieftain of the tribe. Once the Chieftain is killed by a player, the Heart of the Tribe is guaranteed to drop and the tribe falls into the hands of the picker-up.

"I told you, the ground beneath your feet will become my territory," Huang Yi said and immediately used the Heart of the Tribe in his hand.

The next moment, a voice suddenly rang out between heaven and earth —

"[Area Announcement]: [God of Slaughter] has used the Heart of the Tribe, and has joined the tribe to the Hero Guild. Henceforth, this area becomes a territory of the [Hero] Guild."

At that moment, everyone was stunned!

The smile froze on Ice Wind Water Soul’s face, unable to continue laughing!

The eighty-four Holy Domain Half-Beasts failed to react as well!

Nobody expected that Huang Yi could expand his territory in such an unheard-of way!

Just then, to their shock, they found the familiar magma surfacing beneath their feet again, the land turning into Scorched Earth!

That was Huang Yi’s skill!

Huang Yi took the lead once more in attacking, heralding the start of this earth-shattering battle!
