Heroes' Prison

Chapter 474 - 464: The Second Bottle of Instant-Kill Potion (Seeking Recommendations, Monthly Tickets)

Indeed, no further twists occurred in the aftermath of the battle, as the Pharaoh’s Mass Resurrection had already been used during the previous confrontation with the Demon Clan and was currently on cooldown, unable to be activated.

In the end, only one member of the Mummy Legion remained—the highly renowned super-first master, leader of the Egyptian players, and the world’s number one priest—Pharaoh.

Seeing the tide had turned against him, he ceased struggling and looked at Heavenly Dao with icy eyes, saying, "Heavenly Emperor, your team has already advanced to the top four. Even if you let us have this match, it wouldn’t be a loss for you; instead, you could conserve some Ultimate Skills. Now, you’re wasting Ultimate Skills in this meaningless match, making the upcoming quarterfinals that much harder. Has your brain broken?"

Heavenly Dao looked at the Pharaoh and said indifferently, "We are fighting for honor!"

Having said that, he raised his Eastern Sword and struck down at the Pharaoh with all his might!

A sharp sword qi burst forth, directly piercing the Pharaoh’s body!

"Pugh!" The next moment, the Pharaoh lost all signs of life and fell to the ground.

"[System Prompt]: The Heavenly Group has won this battle, Points +1, totaling 29 points."

At this time, Heavenly Dao turned to look at the surviving members of the Heavenly Group behind him and shouted, "The Giant General may have destroyed our homeland, killed our brethren, but our belief remains intact! Since the God of Slaughter put forward the Hero’s Covenant, this is the first time we’ve used Ultimate Skills in battle. We fought this match solely for honor, thank you all for your efforts in defending our honor!"

Heavenly Dao’s expression was solemn, his tone seemingly releasing emotions that had been suppressed for a long time.

For Heavenly Dao, the fight was for dignity, but for the outside world, the result of this match took on a very significant meaning, as it directly determined the final advancing slot for Group A!

"Dear audience, with the Heavenly Group’s victory over the Mummy Legion, the standings for Group A are now clear! Now the Mummy Legion, Sun Team, and Hall of Famous Generals all have 28 points, with the Sun Team having the shortest victory battle duration, thus successfully securing the last ticket to advance! The four teams advancing from Group A are now confirmed: the Yanhuang Legion, Heroes’ Guild, Heavenly Group, and Sun Team! Let’s congratulate them! Tonight, there is also the last round-robin match of the individual competition, so please continue to follow us!"

As soon as the match was over, Thunder God and the others finally breathed a sigh of relief, having narrowly advanced to the next phase of the competition. Even if they failed, they would be among the top eight and receive additional rewards.

However, Thunder God still had one concern, which was the last individual match of the evening, as it would determine whether Huang Yi could advance to the top eight of the individual competition.

...

Gradually, a day passed, and countless people were waiting for the final round-robin match of the individual competition to commence.

In this individual match, Sharp Sword and Thunder God had already guaranteed a spot in the top four regardless of the outcome, with the remaining two slots to be contested among Dragon Spike, Giant Bear, and Huang Yi, with the rest having no hope. Of the three, Dragon Spike was most advantaged, currently at 28 points, while Huang Yi and Giant Bear both had 27 points.

The matches involving these three had attracted the attention of many spectators, especially the match between Huang Yi and Thunder God, as well as Dragon Spike’s match against Dragon Dominates the World; both matches featured players with special targeted relationships. Giant Bear’s match, however, drew much less attention, as his opponent was the bottom player of Group A, and winning the match wouldn’t be too difficult, lacking in excitement.

Meanwhile, Huang Yi was leveling up in the Tower of Pantheons, making no special preparations for the upcoming individual match. He had already arranged with Thunder God to use a fake instant-kill potion during their individual match, while Thunder God would quietly "kill himself" in coordination, deceiving onlookers into thinking he had been slain by an instant-kill potion.

"[System Prompt]: The match time has arrived; would you like to Teleport to the battlefield now?"

Finally, the time for the match arrived!

Huang Yi continued to focus on level grinding, as he controlled his Incarnation to teleport to the Two-Dimensional Battlefield.

By this time, the spectator seats were filled with players from around the world, ready to enjoy a match between formidable opponents, and some reporters were hurrying to start their commentary.

"Dear viewers, we are now live-commentating on the match between God of Slaughter and Thunder God. This morning, the Heroes’ Guild, unable to compete, did not get to engage in an intense battle with the Sun Guild, so tonight’s individual match between the two players has become the center of attention. As everyone knows, both God of Slaughter and Giant Bear currently have 27 Points; however, since God of Slaughter’s battle duration was just a bit longer, he ranks fifth in Group A, which is a precarious position! And Giant Bear’s upcoming opponent is the bottom player of Group A, which should be an easy victory for him. Therefore, in this match, the only chance for God of Slaughter to advance is to defeat Thunder God in the shortest time possible."

An overseas reporter from Singapore analyzed in detail, "But Thunder God, being the world’s top Knight, has high defense and health, especially with his Knight’s Body, which lasts even longer than the typical Knight Class. He once helped the Yanhuang Legion to withstand the last boss of the 50th floor of the Tower of God, Rotten Dragon, Bart, for three minutes, earning the accolade of Thor’s Body, and making a significant contribution to the Yanhuang Legion’s first kill of Bart. Thunder God’s matches tend to be particularly lengthy. It’s almost impossible for God of Slaughter to defeat him in a short time. So, if God of Slaughter wants to shorten the battle, there’s only one way—use an instant-kill potion."

"At the beginning, when God of Slaughter competed with the president of the Hall of Famous Generals, Lv Bu, he took out four instant-kill potions in one go. After using one in that match, he still had three left. If God of Slaughter uses one now, he would still have two potions remaining. After the quarterfinals, there are only three matches left to the championship. If God of Slaughter can win one match with his own strength, then he can use the instant-kill potions in the remaining two matches and claim the title of the individual competition champion!"

At this moment, many journalists and spectators around the world had already speculated that Huang Yi’s three instant-kill potions would become the biggest variable in the Martial Arts Tournament. With this match being so crucial, countless people guessed he would definitely use an instant-kill potion.

In the very center of the battlefield’s competition area, Thunder God had long been waiting there. He was dressed in heavy Knight Plate Armor, holding a shield in his left hand and a long spear in his right, standing as straight as the spear itself. His appearance alone made him seem like an impregnable wall, leaving opponents with no way to start.

Soon, the space opposite him shimmered as Huang Yi’s figure teleported in, the two standing in the same arena for the first time. With their arrival, the cheering from the audience reached its peak!

"The preparation time has its last minute!" With Huang Yi’s entrance, the system finally started the countdown, and in one minute, the official battle duration would begin!

Just then, Huang Yi flicked his fingers, and something appeared in his hand; it was a transparent Magic Bottle containing a huge drop of blood-red potion, unmistakably the S-grade potion that had shocked the world before—the instant-kill potion! Once used, it could instakill a player!

"Ah! Look! God of Slaughter really took out the instant-kill potion! To fight for combat time, he has indeed used this tactic."

"It’s such a pity; we are all Chinese, why do they have to fight so fiercely? If Thunder God would give way and concede, letting God of Slaughter directly enter the top eight, then with only three matches left, and God of Slaughter just happens to have three instant-kill potions, one for each match, couldn’t he directly win the championship? It would be such an honor for us Chinese to win the championship!"

"It’s impossible. Even real brothers will turn against each other, let alone Thunder God and God of Slaughter who are not brothers. Why would Thunder God just hand the championship to God of Slaughter? If he uses up one of God of Slaughter’s potions in this match, God of Slaughter’s threat will be greatly reduced in later matches. Thunder God is no fool; he naturally has his own considerations."

The audience, seeing Huang Yi take out the instant-kill potion, burst into a heated discussion, with many Chinese players feeling heartbroken, as if the situation was needlessly urgent.

At that moment, Huang Yi shook the instant-kill potion in his hand and shouted far to Thunder God, "Thunder God, just give up! I have the instant-kill potion; no matter how hard you try, you can’t beat me."

"Hmph! Dream on!" Thunder God snorted coldly, his tone leaving no room for negotiation, "If I give up, wouldn’t that mean letting you win the championship right away? I’m not that foolish! Even if there’s only a sliver of hope, I won’t give up."

"Ah, isn’t it good to let one of our own win a prize?" Huang Yi heaved a sigh in an exaggerated fashion, uncorked the Magic Bottle, and sniffed it at the tip of his nose as if smelling the fragrance of wine.

"Who’s one of your own? We are irreconcilable!" Thunder God glared at Huang Yi with a pair of fierce eyes and let out a cold laugh, as if bearing a deadly grudge against him.

When the entire audience heard this charged exchange, they too erupted into uproar, particularly the spectators from the Sun Guild and the Heroes’ Guild, who argued fiercely with each other. This high-level secret at the core was completely unknown to them.

"Preparation time is over. The match officially begins!" Just then, with an order from the system, the battle officially commenced!

Almost at the same time, Huang Yi poured the potion from the Magic Bottle into his mouth, swallowing the massive droplet of red liquid, and then he said one sentence to Thunder God, "Thunder God—die!"

In the previous Martial Arts Tournament, Huang Yi had once uttered such a phrase. It was the first time he used the instant-kill potion when his opponent Lv Bu fell to the ground, utterly dead.

This time, Huang Yi’s voice, as if it carried an irresistible magic power, instantly brought down Thunder God, the player with the strongest resilience in the world!

One saw Thunder God’s large, seemingly impregnable body, suddenly deflating of all strength and collapsing to the ground, becoming a corpse.

He was defeated by a single sentence!

To outsiders, it seemed that Huang Yi’s instant-kill potion had killed Thunder God, but in fact, Thunder God had taken his own life in secret!

"[System Prompt]: God of Slaughter has won this battle, points +1, a total of 28 points." The next moment, the system announced the result of the match, which sounded ridiculously funny, as it was just the second before that the match had been declared to begin, and the next moment, the result was announced.

With that, the roar from the entire crowd surged another octave!

"Dear audience, this match has turned out as expected. God of Slaughter directly used an instakill potion and killed Thunder God, the world’s number one knight, in an instant. In this match, God of Slaughter won in just one second."(To be continued. If you like this work, please visit Starting Point (qidian.com) to cast your Recommendation Tickets and Monthly Tickets.
