Heroes' Prison

Chapter 652 - 627: Street Ambush

After entering Muyi City, Huang Yi became more attentive to his treasure-sniffing ability. Qin Shiyu had three pieces of Legendary Equipment, which was a very conspicuous sign. The city wasn’t very big, so it should be easy to sense her location by taking a stroll around it.

Huang Yi gradually ventured deeper into Muyi City, weaving through the bustling crowds like an ordinary player walking on the streets.

"Big brother, would you like to buy a flower?" At that moment, a little boy selling flowers approached Huang Yi, looking up at him with an incredibly pure gaze. He tilted his little face up, the picture of innocence and cuteness.

Huang Yi shook his head and continued on his way.

In that instant, a fierce gleam flashed in the little boy’s eyes, and the bouquet in his hand suddenly transformed into a sharp dagger, lunging towards Huang Yi with lightning speed, glinting with a chilling light!

Huang Yi reflexively dodged to the side, narrowly avoiding the little boy’s sneak attack!

But the crisis was far from over. The little boy’s sudden strike seemed to serve as a signal, setting off a chain of ambushes!

In the blink of an eye, the three pedestrians who had been walking behind Huang Yi all drew their weapons and attacked him!

A couple walking towards him flashed suddenly, unleashing a charge at Huang Yi with no warning!

Three cold flashes burst through the air as three invisible assassins revealed themselves, striking at Huang Yi with their Cut Throat technique!

From the second floor of a pub on the side of the street, a hunter suddenly appeared at the window and launched a Cold Hand Crossbow at Huang Yi on the street below!

All of this happened in the flash of an eye. The once-peaceful street turned deadly in an instant!

Swords clashed and magic sparkled, with every possible escape route tightly sealed. The enemies seemed as if they had rehearsed their assault countless times. Their attacks were incredibly swift and impeccably timed, leaving no angle to dodge!

At this moment, Huang Yi maintained the same expression as before, seemingly unresponsive to the situation!

"Pfft! Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!" In the next second, attacks from the ten enemies all simultaneously hit Huang Yi!

Huang Yi didn’t manage to evade even a single move!

Among these attacks, there were control skills, damage-dealing skills, and adverse condition skills, a thoroughly comprehensive assault!

Huang Yi was immediately stunned, and for the next few seconds, he wouldn’t be able to use any skills, including his unfailingly effective Special Pardon! Amongst the ten attackers’ moves was an Absolute Ban on Magic, which rendered him unable to use any skill for 2 seconds, control removal skills included!

The ten attackers were somewhat thrilled to see their sneak attack on Huang Yi succeed. In 2 seconds, ten top-class fighters attacking Huang Yi simultaneously should be more than enough to seal his fate, even preventing his life-saving skills from being activated!

But in the next moment, they were dumbfounded. Huang Yi still had 85% of his Health Points remaining!

The ten of them struck together, and all they managed to chip away was a mere 15% of his Health Points. Even if they threw everything they had in the next 2 seconds, they couldn’t possibly take Huang Yi down!

Huang Yi was by no means a mere warrior class player but rather a knight, and a very high-end one at that!

As it turned out, Huang Yi had already detected the ten attackers’ intentions well in advance, knowing that they were planning to launch a surprise assault. His treasure-sniffing ability revealed that all ten men possessed Legendary Equipment, with the least of them having one piece, and the flower-selling boy even had three pieces, marking him as a first-rate expert!

It was no coincidence that these ten individuals with Legendary Equipment approached Huang Yi simultaneously; it could only mean a thunderous onslaught was imminent!

Huang Yi decided to counter their plan by making preemptive defensive adjustments. He converted all of his borrow light attributes from his full gear to defense, causing a significant surge in his Defense Points. Then, he switched the mystery of his War Soul from attack to defense, boosting his Defense by 30%!

These two measures brought a terrifying increase in defense. Huang Yi’s Defense already far surpassed that of ordinary warriors. His deep evolution into a Mutated Half-Beastman took his defensive attributes like Defense and Constitution to a whole new level, hardly inferior to that of top-tier knights!

Another important reason was Huang Yi’s level far exceeded that of ordinary people. He was now at a towering 149 Level, and the attribute of his Godslayer’s Naming was such that for every level he surpassed his enemy, it augmented his All Attributes by 1%, while the enemy’s All Attributes were reduced by 1%.

In addition to that, he also had the title of Martial Saint, which elevated his Status Level. And there was another attribute—"When attacked by multiple enemies, the 10 enemies with the highest Attack Power would have their All Attributes reduced by 20%, lasting until the end of the battle."

Through various powers that waxed and waned, Huang Yi had an enormous advantage in attributes, such that even if these ten experts ambushed him simultaneously, they couldn’t kill him.

At this moment, the little boy selling flowers looked up at Huang Yi with calm eyes, suddenly feeling a chill in his heart. The number one person in the world was unimaginably tough; such a degree of ambush couldn’t kill him! Moreover, these ten people had initiated an attack on Huang Yi first, entering a Sinful State, while Huang Yi was in a rightful state of self-defense! After killing them, he would not even accrue Sin Value!

However, it was too late for them to be stunned; since they had no way to back out, their only option was to continue the fight. They unleashed a variety of attack skills, recklessly hurling them at Huang Yi. They had only two seconds; after those two seconds once Huang Yi recovered from the Absolute Magic Forbidden State, their worst nightmares would begin!

Finally, the two seconds passed, and Huang Yi’s Health Points were still nearly half full. At that moment, all ten enemies felt a deep-rooted panic, as if a Giant Beast had unlocked its cage and was about to wreak havoc upon the living!

"Special Pardon!" Huang Yi instantly used his Control Removal Skill to free himself from all adverse conditions, regaining his ability to move!

The next moment, he flipped his palm and a long War Halberd appeared, which he thrust violently toward a sidestepping assassin!

The assassin was quick to react, immediately using Invisibility to vanish into the air. But Huang Yi was faster; the moment the enemy had just disappeared without having a chance to move away, he was brought out with a Heavy Judgment! And this time the Heavy Judgment even scored a critical hit, directly killing the opponent and exploding him into bits, recovering 20% of Huang Yi’s Health Points.

"Whew!" Next, Huang Yi swung the Bloodstained War halberd, drawing a fierce circle around himself and knocking all enemies in every direction away, clearing a large area!

However, he was not so lucky this time, failing to kill anyone. The ten people were all exceptional experts handpicked by Miyamoto Musashi, and withstanding one or two of his moves was not an issue. The assassin who had died earlier was simply unfortunate.

At that moment, countless pedestrians on the street suddenly surged towards here; it seemed they had been hidden nearby all along and now suddenly appeared. Priests began pulling out their Priest’s Staff, healing the surviving nine experts.

Not only that, but a faint Barrier also suddenly emerged in the sky. It was the Heavenly Curtain Barrier, and to be exact, a Heavenly Domain Level Heavenly Curtain Barrier, which could not be broken by anyone less than Celestial Realm Experts!

Now, Huang Yi was trapped in Muyi City. Miyamoto Musashi had anticipated his arrival in this city long ago and had set up an extensive Heavenly Net here.

Huang Yi scanned his surroundings once, and at this moment, every person was eyeing him with predatory gazes, completely surrounding him. He looked back at the little flower-selling boy and couldn’t help but ask, "Are you one of the Twin Lords of the Martial Arts Guild, Jun Zhiye?"

The system immediately translated his sentence from Chinese into Japanese, reaching the ears of all the players around him.

"Correct." The little boy nodded, and instantly, his figure flickered, growing visibly taller and transforming into a slender, black-clothed man with a chilling gaze fixed on Huang Yi.

He was one of the Four Great Protectors of the Martial Arts Guild, Jun Zhiye, one of the Great Assassins in Japan, second only to the Ninjas. Unlike ordinary assassins, he specialized in disguise, constantly changing, at times becoming a child, an old man, a young girl, or an old woman. He always appeared as an identity unexpected by the enemy, and then he would strike swiftly, sending his foe to death. Together with Meng Junlin from Northern Sea City, they were known as the Martial Way’s Twin Lords, because both their names contained the character ’Jun’ in Japanese. He had been the only one not struck by Huang Yi’s attack earlier, retreating cleanly as Huang Yi regained his mobility.

"There are thousands of people on this street, which you could easily kill in short order, so why are you not taking any action against them now?" Just then, Jun Zhiye asked Huang Yi with a voice that switched from the previous childish tone to its current hoarse quality.

"I just don’t want to involve the innocent," Huang Yi immediately cited a reason.

Not only were there Martial Arts Guild members in this city, but there were also ordinary players from other places, like the two who badmouthed Miyamoto Musashi whom he had encountered when entering the city. These people held no grudge against him; if he could avoid killing, he would. However, that was just a superficial reason. After all, he wasn’t a paragon of justice like Dao Feng; he had accidentally killed plenty of innocent players before. His true reason was that because of the Slaughter Curse, he was unable to wash away his Sin Value. If he maliciously attacked players, he would remain in a Sinful State no matter how he tried to cleanse it, unless the curse was lifted. Therefore, even if he had sensed those ten experts planning their ambush, he only took defensive actions instead of striking first.

Currently, his justified self-defense status was only valid against those ten people. Since the rest of the bystanders hadn’t teamed up with those ten players and hadn’t entered a Sinful State, he couldn’t initiate an attack on the others.

"No problem, just do it! The higher your Sin Value, the better! That way, after we kill you, you’ll drop to Level 1." Just then, a crisp voice suddenly rose from the crowd.

As the crowd parted, a woman clad in Knight’s Armor approached.

Seeing this woman, everyone on the street immediately became star-struck, staring dumbfounded at her stunning beauty and the voluptuous figure concealed beneath her armor.

This woman was none other than Zhitian Shi, Japan’s number one beauty. (To be continued.
