Heroes' Prison

Chapter 636 - 611 Initiating the Kill on the Sand Thief King

Huang Yi, seeing he had successfully drawn the crowd’s attention, couldn’t help but hold his head high and puff out his chest, strutting outside the city with a prideful look in his eyes as if to flaunt his legendary equipment.

He currently assumed the identity of Big Baddie, merely a minor character really, which was perfect for attracting players to attack him. Had he revealed himself as Instakill, then even with all the effects of his legendary gear turned on, nobody would dare target him.

However, although he was now in the guise of Big Baddie, he needed to be careful not to reveal too much of his true power. Otherwise, after this fight, next time nobody would dare to come after him.

Gradually, Huang Yi intentionally moved to a more remote area, keenly aware that four players were following him, seemingly with ill intentions. Pretending to be oblivious, he continued to swagger on, his cloak flapping behind him.

"Swoosh!" Just then, the sound of an arrow piercing the air abruptly rang out, rapidly striking him!

Simultaneously, a mage’s Instant Fireball, a priest’s Weakness, and a warrior’s Charge all targeted him! Judging by this stance, it was clear the opponents intended to instakill Huang Yi in one round of attacks.

Upon taking hits from the enemy, Huang Yi found himself in a state of legitimate self-defense, meaning that now, if he killed this small squad of four, he wouldn’t incur any Sin Value.

"What, what are you doing?" Huang Yi dodged in disarray and spoke to the four challengers with feigned bravado, then quickly pulled out a plain Level 95 Orange Gear War Blade from his storage ring and started to fight back with difficulty.

"Nothing much, just trying to blast your legendary equipment out of you," said the first hunter player to strike, smiling faintly, as if the act of murdering and plundering was something he’d done many times without a shred of guilt.

Once legendary equipment is bound it cannot be traded, unless it’s taken to a Blacksmith Shop to remove the binding. However, that process is incredibly cumbersome, and these players had no intention of threatening Huang Yi to hand over his legendary equipment willingly. Their direct approach was to kill him and loot his gear.

In their eyes, Huang Yi’s level was only 95, which seemed very weak, and his expression was one of sheer panic, a complete newbie with no idea how to PK (Player Kill). Meanwhile, all four of them were consistently Level 98, and four against one should be effortless, enough to kill him without breaking a sweat.

Strangely enough, despite Huang Yi being rather awkward in his movements and invariably in a tight spot, he nearly always avoided danger, progressively reducing their health points.

"Be careful! This kid’s not so skilled, but his gear is better than ours! His attributes are higher!" Quickly realizing something was amiss, the leading hunter called out a warning. Huang Yi’s combat skills appeared inept, but the fact that he kept dodging attacks indicated his high attributes. Even someone lacking in skills could be powerful in combat if their attributes were superior.

"Puff! Puff! Puff!" At that moment, Huang Yi struck three successive blows on the nearest warrior, chopping him down instantly, leaving a corpse on the ground that burst out a pair of bracers.

That was Huang Yi as Big Baddie. If he had been Instakill, the 7 points from his National Honor Points would take effect. If this team attacked him first, their death penalty would multiply by 7, spilling 7 pieces of equipment and causing a loss of 7 levels upon death.

"Long Aotian!" At that moment, the hunter witnessing his comrade being cut down bellowed in fury!

"Humph! It was you guys who bullied me first!" Huang Yi retorted while initiating a Charge at the priest, hacking three times with his war blade, slew the priest, and deprived the squad of their healing.

"You! You’re dead meat! F*ck your mother, how dare you kill my teammates, go to hell!" The hunter’s face turned beet red with rage and immediately unleashed a Hunter Class Ultimate Move—Storm of Arrows—at Huang Yi.

Suddenly, countless arrows descended like a tempest, the menacing barrage engulfing the area where Huang Yi stood.

Huang Yi took on some of the incoming damage before escaping the skill’s reach in a fluster, swiftly chasing after the mage.

The mage repeatedly fell back, but with slower Movement Speed than Huang Yi’s, even after using Blink, he was still overtaken and mercilessly slaughtered.

It was only then that the hunter rallied, realizing his inevitable doom and attempting to flee. However, his speed was no match for Huang Yi who, amid curses and swear words, caught up and finished him off.

In less than a minute, Huang Yi had killed all four, showing more of his strong attributes than combat skills, which still seemed clumsy. Others would not regard him as a skilled player.

Afterwards, Huang Yi returned to the city gates, flauntingly swinging his legendary cloak again, and soon attracted another attack, this time from a six-person squad.

Still employing the previous method and relying on his superior attributes, Huang Yi dispatched this squad with his crude fighting skills. Thus, his kill count finally exceeded 10.

"Make way, make way! Fierce Tiger Gang Guild on a mission!" At this time, a group of well-equipped players rushed out from the West City Gate, bearing the banner of the Fierce Tiger Gang as they charged. This crowd was about a hundred strong, and at their forefront was a brawny man, his muscular frame clad in an animal skin vest, revealing a tuft of black chest hair and wielding a broadaxe, exuding an air of brutality. He was the leader of the Fierce Tiger Gang, Soul Destroyer, one of the renowned top fighters of Warcraft City.

At this moment, he turned his tiger-like eyes to scan the surroundings and quickly spotted Huang Yi under a distant tree, illuminated by the distinctive radiance of his cloak’s special effects. He swung his broadaxe through the air towards Huang Yi and bellowed, "Over there! Kill him for me!"

As soon as his words fell, all of the Fierce Tiger Gang’s ranged class players launched their attacks, showering Huang Yi with dozens of skills’ radiance that faintly lit up the night sky!

At this time, Huang Yi was on the outskirts of a forest outside the city. Upon seeing the skills’ radiance, he feigned a very haggard appearance and quickly rushed into the forest, disappearing among the trees.

The skills immediately all struck the trees, with only one or two hitting Huang Yi.

But it was these one or two skills that placed all the members of the Fierce Tiger Gang in a state of initiating attack. For the ease of combat command, they had formed one large group, where one person’s malicious attack represented the whole group’s aggression.

Now, Huang Yi was up against their entire team in self-defense, which meant that after killing them, he would no longer gain any Sin Value for the next half hour.

"Catch up and kill him!" commanded Soul Destroyer, as he immediately summoned his signature Fifth Rank Bloodthirsty Tiger, mounted it, and led the way towards where Huang Yi had vanished into the forest, soon disappearing into it as well.

Moreover, the other hundred plus players also charged into the forest, preparing to encircle Huang Yi.

Huang Yi was very fast, quickly shaking off the Fierce Tiger Gang, forcing them to split up and search for his traces.

Meanwhile, Listening to the Rain and Comprehending the Sword Sound and Guo Jia also led their respective teams to the West City Gate. From the report of nearby players who witnessed the event, they learned of the Fierce Tiger Gang’s pursuit of Huang Yi. This made them anxious, and they too ordered their troops to dash into the forest, desperately trying to get to Huang Yi first and kill him.

Soon, the number of people in the forest kept growing, with several hundred carrying torches and carefully searching through the woods for Huang Yi, occasionally startling birds into the night sky, filling the air with a chilling atmosphere.

A Fierce Tiger Gang player proceeded forward in the forest, holding a torch in his hand, looking around as he walked, his face illuminated by the flickering light of the torch, revealing a focused expression.

"Swoosh!" As this player passed under a tree, a shadow suddenly leapt down from the tree above, accompanied by a dazzling flash of blade light!

Afterward, the player’s head separated from his neck. The torch in his hand fell to the ground, scattering sparks before eventually dying out.

The person who had jumped down from the tree was indeed Huang Yi! After killing the man, he quickly fled into the distance, soon disappearing once again like a messenger hidden in the night.

Subsequently, Huang Yi used his agility and swift speed to ambush the players pursuing him. He would kill members of the Fierce Tiger Gang on sight. For players from other guilds, he let them attack first to avoid accruing Sin Value himself.

Every time he dispatched an enemy, he would promptly flee, giving the impression that he was afraid of being ganged up on. Occasionally, he would also reveal some flaws to make it appear as if he wasn’t very strong.

Gradually, his kill count rose higher and higher, soon surpassing twenty, thirty, fifty people!

Half an hour later, he successfully reached a hundred kills!

At that moment, Huang Yi suddenly felt his attributes soar, and the 50% reduction from the Slaughter Curse was finally fully restored! He felt the return of his immense strength! This feeling gave him a great sense of security, precisely what the world’s number one should possess. With these attributes, he feared no one!

However, this would only last for one day, and by this time tomorrow, he would have to return to the previous state with only 50% of his attributes.

Next, Huang Yi activated Absolute Invisibility from his Legendary Cloak and walked directly past the many players chasing him with torches in the forest, heading back to Warcraft City. Then, he went through the Teleportation Circle to return to Dragon City.

Inside that forest, players from various powers were still tirelessly searching for someone who no longer existed.

Back in Dragon City, Huang Yi immediately left the city. Riding on Little Dragon, he flew towards the Treasure Spot where the Sand Thief King was located, soaring over the desert under the bright moonlight and the starry sky.
