Heroes' Prison

Chapter 557 - 542

This indicated that the Martial Arts Guild still possessed the ability to alter the course of the battle!

However, not a single player from the Martial Arts Guild could be seen on the field anymore, even their corpses had been completely obliterated by Zhitian Shi’s self-destruction, leaving no trace of their existence!

Even with mass resurrection abilities, there needed to be corpses to resurrect from, but with no corpses left, how could they be revived?

What kind of turnaround strategy could they possibly have?

Huang Yi’s incarnation slowly surveyed the corpses of the Heroes’ Guild on the field, his gaze tightening intensely.

His Barbarian God had been blown to death as well and required a priest for resurrection, and now, apart from his own incarnation, the Heroes’ Guild had been completely wiped out!

Even this incarnation of his was left with only a sliver of health points. If Zhitian Shi’s self-destruction had been a bit closer or the barrier of the Heroes’ Guild had a little less health, this incarnation wouldn’t have survived either!

Next, he could only face the Martial Arts Guild’s follow-up moves with this fragile incarnation!

"The Heroes’ Guild has won!" At this moment, countless Chinese spectators all thought that the Heroes’ Guild had already won, and they began congratulating one another!

They shouted excitedly, waving the flags in their hands high above their heads. Red national flags and black Slaying Flags were interwoven in the stands, creating an incredibly spectacular sight!

Yet amidst this roar of cheers, Huang Yi’s figure seemed a bit lonely, as he knew victory had not yet arrived.

Just then, he suddenly received a message. When he saw the sender of this message, he was momentarily startled!

This message was unexpectedly sent by Dao Feng!

Huang Yi immediately opened it to read. The message was very short, just one sentence—

"There’s still one person left in the Martial Arts Guild."

This sentence exploded like thunder in Huang Yi’s ear, sounding so out of place amidst the cheers of the audience!

As a contestant, Huang Yi couldn’t observe the competition from a global perspective like the audience could. On the contrary, the audience could easily observe the whole picture; although they couldn’t see each team’s casualty data, they could still infer some hidden truths from certain details by simply watching the battlefield with their eyes. Ordinary players might not catch these details, but a master of Dao Feng’s caliber had extremely discerning eyes, naturally able to notice nuances that others might miss.

Suddenly, Huang Yi received another message!

This time it was from Qin Shiyu. He immediately opened it to see—

"Brother Yi, we just received urgent intelligence from agent number two. Meiji is not dead yet, and the situation might change!"

Qin Shiyu’s message completely confirmed what Dao Feng had said! The Martial Arts Guild indeed still had people!

Huang Yi’s gaze swept over the field again, staring intensely at every inch of the ground, at every cluster of air.

His Third Eye was already open, but he still couldn’t find where Meiji was!

Meiji was one of Japan’s top masters, second only to Heavenly Dao and Miyamoto Musashi, and was also Japan’s number one priest. In this martial arts tournament, he and the Ninja, Black Warrior, and Sakura had formed a powerful team called the Four Nations, which, along with the Martial Arts Guild led by Miyamoto Musashi and the Heavenly Group under Heavenly Dao, were acclaimed as Japan’s top three teams.

Unlike typical priests who focus on healing, Meiji’s killing ability was just as strong as his healing ability! Earlier, when the Heroes’ Guild had been wiped out for the first time, many had been killed by Meiji!

By now, the cheering of the Chinese players in the stands had begun to wane, unable to wait any longer for the System Prompt’s notification, their excitement finally turning into gravity. They fixated their gazes upon the battlefield, trying to discern where the Martial Arts Guild’s countermove could be. Top-level masters like Sharp Sword, Dragon Spike, Pharaoh, and others were also searching for the Martial Arts Guild’s survivors.

The entire battleground was silent, the System Prompt’s notification never came, and an invisible pressure began emanating outward, leaving everyone unsure of when a twist might occur.

This was the calm before the storm!

"No need to look any further, I’m right here." Just then, a childlike voice suddenly came from the air, far from Huang Yi!

A figure with white hair slowly materialized out of thin air!

This person was quite young, about the same age as Mirror Broken and Xiao Chunzi, probably still in elementary school.

But no one in the audience dared to underestimate him, for he was the famous Japanese master—Meiji!

However, at this moment, his body was semi-transparent, like a soul and not a real physical form, seemingly in some special state!

Seeing this scene, Huang Yi had an idea. In fact, he also possessed a similar skill; after killing the Chieftain of the Half-Beast Tribe, he had acquired a Skill Book called "Soul Escape."

"Soul Escape": Upon death, items are temporarily not dropped, and regardless of the Dismembered State, one’s soul can be shot straight to a location one kilometer away. The soul has ten thousand Health Points and can be revived by Revival Skills. After revival, no items are dropped, but one’s Level decreases by one. If the soul is killed, one dies completely, and items are dropped.

Since learning this skill, Huang Yi had never used it; it was almost a forgotten skill. Because this skill only took effect after death, and he had never died in the wilds, and since dying in secret realms didn’t result in a level drop, there hadn’t been a practical moment to use it.

At that time, Huang Yi’s original body had been blown to death by Zhitian Shi’s self-destruction. He could have used this skill to let his soul escape. However, the Two-dimensional Space battlefield was too small and didn’t span the one kilometer required by Soul Escape, rendering the skill unusable.

Meiji must have had a similar skill, his body was dead, but his soul was still alive. Yet, his skill should be better than Huang Yi’s Soul Escape. Moreover, his soul likely possessed the ability to fight or use skills, otherwise, he wouldn’t have been able to evade Huang Yi’s search previously, and certainly wouldn’t expose himself so carelessly now.

At that moment, Huang Yi’s Incarnation directly flapped its wings, flying to Meiji’s face, and swung the axe in his hand downward.

But after his axe struck Meiji, it passed through his body like a shadow, causing no damage.

This soul apparently had no Health Points, indeed different from Huang Yi’s Soul Escape Skill!

"God of Slaughter Brother, you can’t kill me!" Then Meiji, looking up with a bright smile, said in fluent Chinese, "My state is quite special right now. You can’t kill me, and I can’t attack you. I had hoped Sister Zhitian Shi’s self-destruction would kill all of you, but it left behind your Incarnation, forcing me to reveal this skill! I must say, your strength has shocked us all, and we are honored to have you as an opponent. But this team championship is ours to win, it’s our entire country’s honor. Even if you’re strong, you can’t stop our stride toward victory. Our team comprises all the top masters of our country, working together to be nearly invincible. But your team consists only of your Guild members, with hardly any external support. No matter how strong you are alone, you can’t beat us."

His childish voice echoed in the ears of every spectator, prompting countless nods of agreement.

Indeed, in this match, the Martial Arts Guild’s prominent figures greatly outnumbered the Heroes’ Guild; Heavenly Dao, Miyamoto Musashi, Sakura, Ninja, Zhitian Shi, Meiji, and other masters had played significant roles. The Heroes’ Guild was essentially carried by Huang Yi alone, and aside from Xiao Chunzi, who was somewhat impressive, there weren’t any other notable figures.

"What other trump cards do you have? Let’s see what you’ve got," Huang Yi calmly said to Meiji without objection.

"You’ll know soon enough!" Meiji responded, his beaming smile fading. Then, his soul suddenly exploded, turning into specks of white light, and scattered to every corner of the arena!

These specks of light danced everywhere, sometimes slow, sometimes swift, hovering around certain areas, as if searching for something in the air.

Quickly, the white lights stopped their search, seemingly having found their target. They reassembled into a single figure – the figure of Zhitian Shi, who had self-destructed!

Meiji had paid the price with his own soul to resurrect her!

The entire crowd was shocked!

Zhitian Shi had self-destructed with no body left; she shouldn’t have been capable of resurrection, but Meiji, Japan’s number one priest, had revived her!

Meiji’s Soul Skill had never been shown to outsiders. It was one of the Martial Arts Guild’s trump cards, but this card had an even bigger play—resurrecting regardless of the state of the body!

This card had revived another, even bigger trump card—Zhitian Shi!

Their tactics were ingenious, one leading to the next, leaving spectators barely able to keep up!

The Martial Arts Guild’s techniques were impressive; after amassing various experts from Japan, they were indeed nearly invincible!

At this moment, the newly revived Zhitian Shi acted swiftly, flicking her finger and immediately taking out an object from her storage ring!

It was a red stone, the very Special Energy Stone that had been displayed twice before!

Her actions were incredibly swift, with the audience yet to recover or understand her intention.

But Huang Yi instantly guessed a terrifying purpose and, feeling a sinking feeling in his heart, he quickly invoked Judgment against her—

"I declare, Zhitian Shi—dead!"

His voice burst like thunder, rousing the shocked spectators.

But he was one step too late!

Almost at the same moment he invoked Judgment, Zhitian Shi waved her hand, and a grey smoke emitted from her arm, snaking through the void towards Huang Yi’s body’s corpse!

Her goal was to use Corpse Fusion again!

This time, however, she intended to fuse with Huang Yi’s original body!(To be continued.
