Heroes' Prison

Chapter 534 - 523: Barbarian Saint (Four updates today, seeking Monthly Tickets!)

The once empty Dragon City was now swarmed by players eager for a spectacle, their expressions animated as they peered toward the outskirts. When they saw Huang Yi return, they immediately crowded around him, fixing their gazes upon him firmly.

"God of Slaughter, hello! Everyone on the forums is talking about the Barbarian Saint chasing you, as the person involved, what are your thoughts?" At that moment, countless reporters and players surrounded Huang Yi, interviewing him as they walked along.

"I’m going to the Tower of Pantheons," Huang Yi said in a hurry, swiftly shaking off the crowd as he dashed toward the direction of the Teleportation Field, leaving the players behind.

Seeing that they couldn’t keep up with Huang Yi, the reporters stopped in their tracks and analyzed, "Dear viewers, the God of Slaughter just said he’s heading to the Tower of Pantheons, it seems just as we speculated, facing the chase of the Barbarian Saint, he indeed has no means of resistance, and can only seek refuge in the Tower of Pantheons..."

Quickly, Huang Yi reached the Teleportation Circle and entered the Tower of Pantheons.

Meanwhile, his incarnation stood beside the Teleportation Circle, seemingly waiting for something.

As time ticked by, Dragon City, a city plagued by calamities, once again drew the attention of the entire world. Countless fearless players flocked there, eager to witness the arrival of the Barbarian Saint. Some foreign players who couldn’t teleport there kept vigil in the forums, watching the live broadcast.

In a flash, the entire world, except for Dragon City, became deserted. Billions of players left the Second World, congregating in the forums, fixated on the live stream, eager to witness the appearance of a top-level level 295 Heavenly Domain hero for the first time.

At that moment, Huang Yi, who had been using the Eye of Supervision to monitor the Barbarian Saint, finally sensed something!

The leader of the Half-Beast Holy Land—the Barbarian Saint had arrived!

He landed from the south onto the Hero’s Continent and was now heading straight toward Dragon City in the north!

His speed was akin to Rapid Lightning, always moving in a straight line, never taking a detour; even when there were mountain ranges ahead, he would ignore them! He smashed straight through the mountains!

From this behavior, one could see the fury of the Barbarian Saint. The momentum of the Barbarian Saint’s march was unstoppable; mountains in his way would be shattered by him; if a city stood in his path, he would demolish it; nothing could deter him from his determination to pursue Huang Yi!

Meanwhile, Huang Yi’s incarnation stepped into the Teleportation Circle and was instantly teleported to a city called Bright Moon City. As a Continent Guardian, he could teleport to any public city.

At that time, Bright Moon City was quiet and tranquil. Many players had teleported to Dragon City, or had gone offline to watch the live stream in the forums. The rest of the city was left with only a few individuals here and there; looking around, the lights had been extinguished one by one. During this peaceful night, the NPCs had all fallen asleep, entering dreamland.

What they didn’t know was that a top-level level 295 Heavenly Domain hero was about to pass through!

Huang Yi, calculating the route of the Barbarian Saint’s advance, realized that Bright Moon City was on his direct path. Therefore, his incarnation had specifically teleported here to meet with the Barbarian Saint in advance.

Just then, Huang Yi’s incarnation’s Third Eye keenly detected a shooting star rushing toward them from the distant sky, faster than any Celestial Realm expert he had ever seen before!

He had barely caught sight of the meteor when it had already flown over in the blink of an eye, coming to a sudden halt before him, standing tall like Optimus Prime, looking down upon him.

A crushing pressure, as if the heavens were falling, enveloped Huang Yi completely; the air seemed to solidify, attempting to flatten him, causing his legs to involuntarily buckle slightly.

An old house next to the street, under that pressure, collapsed with a roar, turning into rubble!

Huang Yi struggled to keep himself upright, forcibly lifting his head to look at the towering figure before him.

Before him stood a figure like a mountain, majestic and tall, hands empty, expression aloof, as if he held the life-and-death authority over countless people.

His eyes were clear and profound, situated on his face, but they seemed to dwell as high as the starry sky, separated by an insurmountable distance, unattainable. Those eyes looking down at Huang Yi felt like being scrutinized by the heavens itself, leaving no room for any tricks to be played.

This is the Barbarian Saint!

The leader of the Half-Beast Holy Land!

A Level 295 hero character!

A Supreme being, just a step away from the Divine Domain!

Those above Level 300 are in the Divine Domain, and experts there are also known as demigods, equivalent to half a deity, harboring the hope of a Divine Enthronement! In the vast historical process of The Second World, aside from the handful of ten God Sealers, demigods are the strongest. Each demigod is an epic, their stories eternally enduring, their deeds passed down through ages, they are the most dazzling part of history! Every era is dominated by them, and the trends of the times are stirred up by them!

And Huang Yi’s Barbarian Saint before him was among those closest to demigod status! Even in the Central Continent, he was an absolute big shot!

Seeing the Barbarian Saint, Huang Yi felt no desire to fight within his heart. The gap between them was too great, even if the Ancient Giants were to take action, they would be no match for him.

The Barbarian Saint and Huang Yi just stood there on a long street in Bright Moon City, facing each other. The night wind howled through the streets, which were deserted, with the lights in all the houses on both sides extinguished. The pristine moonlight poured down, casting long shadows of the two men, creating an atmosphere filled with a murderous aura.

"You have committed a capital offense," the Barbarian Saint said, looking down at Huang Yi, uttering his first sentence. That tone was as if he were announcing the will of the heavens—no one could save Huang Yi now; he had to die.

"Is it that you are allowed to kill me, but not allowed me to resist?" Huang Yi calmly retorted, looking up directly into the Barbarian Saint’s eyes, unaffected by his imposing presence, "Of course, in the eyes of powerful beings like you, strength is the only truth; you can decide what is right and what is wrong. I did not come here today to submit to you, but rather to discuss a method of reconciliation. If we, the Half-Beast Holy Land’s chieftain and I, were to fight, then our conflict would truly become irreversible. After Man Tian’s death, I gained quite a bit from him, so I’m also willing to pay a fortune to avoid disaster. Name your price, and as long as I can afford it, I’ll pay you, and we can put this matter to rest."

"Do you think the Half-Beast Holy Land is short of money?" the Barbarian Saint replied, his presence suddenly intensifying, pressing down on Huang Yi so fiercely that his bones crackled. He spoke indifferently, "Moreover, what right do you have to negotiate with me?"

Huang Yi resisted the pressure with all his might and continued, "This is merely compensation I am willing to offer out of a humanitarian spirit. You can completely choose not to accept it, and continue to create trouble in my Dragon Capital Territory. But let me make it clear to you, once you go there, you might encounter some accidents, and if by chance you die there, then your Half-Beast Holy Land might well be unable to gain a foothold in the Central Continent. And I would face endless retaliation from your Holy Land. Although I am not afraid of you, trouble is best avoided when possible. Thus, if both sides take a step back, I pay you off to save face, and you only lose Man Tian."

"I insist on seeing for myself what kind of experts are lurking in your Dragon City, capable of causing me an accident!" The Barbarian Saint seriously nodded his head, pouring his tremendous power entirely onto Huang Yi, instantly crushing his incarnation.

Subsequently, the Barbarian Saint continued to charge toward Dragon City like lightning, vanishing into the horizon in the blink of an eye. From start to finish, he never actually made a move; he killed Huang Yi just with his presence, a strength virtually untouchable.

In the middle of the street, the night wind still blew, and a stray cat darted out of an alleyway, having apparently been so oppressed by the Barbarian Saint’s aura that it dared not breathe until now. But it soon got a scare, as Huang Yi’s body on the street suddenly vanished, leaving the space empty as if nothing had happened.

Huang Yi’s incarnation quickly resurrected at Bright Moon City’s Respawn Point, and he immediately rushed to the Teleportation Circle, wanting to return to Dragon City in haste. He had come here with only a glimmer of hope for a successful reconciliation, and now that the Barbarian Saint had rejected him, it was entirely within his expectations.

Next, he would use his real means to deal with the Barbarian Saint.

After teleporting back to Dragon City, he quickly activated the city’s Heavenly Curtain Barrier, one of the top-level Heavenly Curtain Barriers among all cities in Hero’s Continent, established at great expense by the Hero Guild.

This Heavenly Curtain Barrier could temporarily withstand the attacks of Celestial Realm Experts, but only for a limited time and at the cost of a large number of magic stones. For top-level Heavenly Domain Heroes like the Barbarian Saint, it was estimated that only half an hour was needed to break through this barrier.

This move immediately drew the attention of countless players and journalists in Dragon City!

Everyone understood that Dragon City was making such stern preparations because the Barbarian Saint was about to come—a battle the likes of which had never been seen was on the verge of erupting. Excitement surged through countless individuals!

Huang Yi summoned all the Guardians, who gathered on the city walls of Dragon City, standing against the wind, looking in the direction from which the Barbarian Saint would come.

"God of Slaughter, as strong your Heavenly Curtain Barrier might be, it’s practically no different from paper in front of top-level Heavenly Domain Heroes, and will be penetrated quickly!" said the Heavenly Domain Guardian Soul Ripper, tilting his head back to look at the barrier above them, spoke with a hint of nervousness in his voice. The five of them, as Celestial Realm Guardians, possessed tremendous power in front of others, but combined, they were no match for the Barbarian Saint—a seemingly unconquerable enemy. They had just gained their freedom, and now they were about to face a life-and-death catastrophe.(To be continued.
