Heroes' Prison

Chapter 450 - 440: The Great Reversal

Lv Bu also stared solemnly at the four potions in Huang Yi’s hand from a distance.

At this moment, Huang Yi dared to send his incarnation to fight him, naturally having some confidence. And Huang Yi’s incarnation took out those four potions, which obviously indicated they possessed some powerful effects, strong enough to battle him!

Just then, Huang Yi slowly opened one of the medicine bottles and gulped down the contents, the mysterious blood-red potion thus entering his body, igniting endless speculation among the audience.

Seeing this, Lv Bu bit his lip, his face changing unpredictably. This was something he and Zhuge Liang had not anticipated; Huang Yi had never used such a potion before, and its effects were unknown!

Grinding his teeth, Lv Bu’s face twisted in pain as he took out three potions from his storage ring and drank them down.

"Look! Lv Bu has also brought out potions. Judging by the look of those potions, they seem to be Golden Body Elixir, Stoneskin Elixir, and Longevity Elixir! Each of these potions is a grade B potion, Lv Bu is really willing to go all out!" Just then, some sharp-eyed players exclaimed in surprise.

The three potions Lv Bu consumed were none other than the currently famous three grade B potions, practically the highest level of potions available to players at the moment, each one’s cost astronomical! The three potions Lv Bu held were all for preserving life, each significantly boosting defense, resistance, and life limit respectively!

Grade B potions were considered the top-level potions players could obtain at present, extremely rare; even if one had the money, they were hard to come by. Even Lv Bu, the leader of the Hall of Famous Generals, could not easily produce them in quantity. However, now, faced with the mysterious blood-red potion that Huang Yi’s incarnation had consumed, he felt a bit apprehensive, promptly using the three potions to preserve his life.

"Preparation time is over, the match officially begins!" At that moment, under the System’s command, the highly-anticipated match finally commenced!

The screams of countless spectators reached their peak at this moment! The noise ebbed and flowed, filling the entire battlefield!

Lv Bu hurriedly applied several defense skills to himself, and combined with the three potions he had previously ingested, he almost turned himself into an invulnerable body!

Then, he charged towards Huang Yi with a fierce momentum, like a colossal Barbarian Bull!

However, at this point, Huang Yi stood still, calmly watching the swiftly approaching Lv Bu, he opened his mouth and slowly uttered three words: "Lv Bu—die!"

This voice contained nothing superfluous, just a simple three words, even his most classic line—"I declare"—was omitted!

But those three words seemed to carry an unparalleled magic power, striking Lv Bu forcefully!

The next instant, under the incredulous gaze of billions, the Lv Bu who was charging full force suddenly stumbled, as if all his energy and life were drained at that moment!

He fell forward, lying motionless on the ground, turning directly into a corpse!

"[System Prompt]: God of Slaughter has won this battle, Points +1, totaling 5 Points."

The next moment, the system declared the winner of the match!

From the start of the match to now, Huang Yi hadn’t even moved, he only spoke a sentence, and Lv Bu was dead!

The audience fell deadly silent, even the talkative commentators were stunned into silence!

Countless minds went blank!

In the numerous matches of the tournament, never had there been a death like this!

Such an incredibly strong fighter as Lv Bu, after consecutively using three valuable grade B life-saving potions, was unaffected and was killed with a single sentence!

This was simply an impossible occurrence!

Even if Huang Yi’s attack could instakill others, he would need to personally make a move, attacking with a weapon, it was absolutely impossible to kill someone with just a sentence!

The only explanation was the potion he had consumed earlier!

"Could it be, an... instant-kill potion?!" At that moment, some spectators finally recovered, incredulously guessing aloud!

Afterward, countless eyes were glued to Huang Yi, focusing on the remaining three potions in his hand, and a name that had remained in legend, never before appearing in the world, surfaced in their minds—Instant-kill Potion!

Only an instant-kill potion could produce such a result, capable of immediately assassinating a player, let alone Lv Bu—even top players like Sharp Sword and Dragon Spike would inevitably die!

But instant-kill potions remained a legend, the pinnacle of S-tier potions. Countless people had tried all sorts of methods and failed to acquire any, so why had Huang Yi produced four bottles at once?

At that moment, Huang Yi put the remaining three potion bottles into his storage ring, his expression unchanged.

He had indeed used an instant-kill potion, but of the four he took out, only two were real. The other two were fakes, identical in appearance but utterly ineffective.

His reason was to create confusion and plan for the future. Now the whole world knew he still had three instant-kill potions, when in reality, he only had one left. This misinformation would lead his enemies to make mistakes that could endlessly benefit him.

Subsequently, Huang Yi’s incarnation withdrew, vanishing from the countless onlookers’ view, yet the shock he left behind was far from diminishing just because of his departure.

"Ladies and gentlemen, today’s match was simply unbelievable! God of Slaughter has killed the renowned Lv Bu in a single sentence, a style of play unheard of before! There’s only one reason we can think of for this, the stuff of legends—the instant-kill potion! Such a potion is only referenced in historical records! Instakill really lived up to his name, not just with his username, but he actually produced the S-tier instant-kill potion! With such an unstoppable killing intent! God of Slaughter once said that any scheme or trickery would be nullified by him, and he’s proven it time and again. Even a team like Hall of Famous Generals plotting against him has been effortlessly neutralized!" Reporters began to explain in excited tones.

"Although this battle only lasted a brief second or two, its significance is epoch-making! This is the first time in the world that an S-tier potion has been used. Before this, we only knew that Miyamoto Musashi possessed the S-tier Protection of the God of Life, but he kept it as his trump card, never having used it. But now, God of Slaughter has boldly produced four S-tier instant-kill potions and freely used one. Going forward, we can predict that God of Slaughter will become the most likely candidate to win the championship. If he encounters an unbeatable enemy, he would simply use an instant-kill potion to gain victory. With this, who else could be his opponent?"

Many commentators then speculated about the future matches!

Indeed! With instant-kill potions available, what’s the point in fighting in the tournament? Just begin and immediately assassinate the opponent!

However, these were merely the wishful thoughts of the reporters. In truth, Huang Yi had only one instant-kill potion left, with just one use remaining.

"Well, ladies and gentlemen, that’s the end of today’s individual match broadcast. Let’s switch the scene to the team match between Heroes’ Guild and Hall of Famous Generals. With Lv Bu’s defeat in the individual match, what actions will Hall of Famous Generals take in the team match? Whatever those actions may be, God of Slaughter has already proven himself, and even if they lose this team match, it will not affect his or Heroes’ Guild’s reputation anymore."

At this point, the individual matches had concluded, but the noon team match was still ongoing, with several hundred experts from Hall of Famous Generals still engaged in battle with Huang Yi.

...

In the team match arena, the spectator stands were sparsely filled, with many having run off to watch the individual matches instead of being here.

The members of Hall of Famous Generals were still in the battlefield, waiting for news.

"Zhuge Liang, is your strategy reliable? Could something go wrong with big brother?" At this moment, Guan Yu paced back and forth anxiously, asking Zhuge Liang.

"Don’t worry, nothing will go wrong. Unless Instakill possesses the legendary instant-kill potion, I see no other way he could win against big brother," Zhuge Liang said confidently, waving his fan.

"You guessed right!" Just then, Huang Yi’s voice suddenly rang out from the Void Battlefield.

Zhuge Liang was taken aback, looked up at Huang Yi in the sky, and smiled faintly, "Although you’re named Instakill, the instant-kill potion can hardly be obtained by players at this stage, can it?"

Huang Yi did not speak again, instead getting ready to continue the fight from the Void Battlefield. With Lv Bu’s loss in the individual match, there was no point in dragging out the team match. Hall of Famous Generals would definitely opt for a quick decision, focusing their efforts to kill him.

Just then, many spectators suddenly re-entered the stands, seemingly having finished watching the individual matches and returned here.

The spectators looked excitedly at Huang Yi in the Void Battlefield, their praises unceasing.

"A true Instakill, owning the real instant-kill potion!"

"Of course, our Heroes’ Guild Guild Master can never be outwitted by any scheme or machination! To defeat our leader, one has to rely on honest strength and face him in fair combat!"

"And to think Hall of Famous Generals has been foolishly stalling for so long here, with hundreds plotting and scheming, only to fail in the end! What a loss of face!"

At that moment, the deafening buzz of discussion in the stands reverberated throughout the arena, reaching the ears of every member of Hall of Famous Generals.

"What’s going on?" Zhuge Liang, Guan Yu, and the others finally changed color, murmuring to themselves and looking around at the audience, trying to discern the results of the individual matches from their chatter.(To be continued.
