Heroes' Prison

Chapter 657 - 632: 3-Minute Rescue

Next, the Deputy Master of the Knights Hall from the Hero Guild, known as Loneliness, together with one of the great mages of the Mage Hall, Lei Jun, the Vice Hall Master of the Assassins’ Hall, Mirror Broken, one of the ace priests from the Priest Hall, Xiu Tian, and Zheng Yiyi—a total of five people—walked towards Northern Sea City. The rest of the group stayed outside as backup in case of emergencies.

By this time, all five of them had altered their appearances to look like ordinary players, blending into the crowd. The ones originally guarding the area, Miyamoto Musashi and Meng Junlin, had already left, and Northern Sea City was in a moment of defensive vulnerability. Unbeknownst to anyone, Huang Yi had arranged for people to come here to carry out a rescue.

"Come here." Just then, a player dressed as a hunter who saw the five approached and said in a low voice.

This hunter was none other than Dragon Soaring Nine States, one of the Chief Hunters of the Hero Guild’s Hunter Hall, whom Huang Yi had previously summoned.

He immediately led the way for the five, making for the abandoned garden where Huang Yi was waiting.

Before long, the group made their way through the crowd and cautiously arrived at the door of the flower house in the abandoned garden, where the hostages were being held.

"Zheng Yiyi, set up a spatial tunnel right now. We need to rescue the hostages within three minutes. We can’t delay too long, or it will be too late to escape," said Loneliness, taking the lead, to Zheng Yiyi.

"Okay!" Zheng Yiyi nodded immediately and sent a message to Third Reincarnated Young Master outside the city. They began to cast spells in unison, creating a void-like spatial tunnel between inside and outside the city.

...

Meanwhile, after Meng Junlin took Qianye Fengwu out of Northern Sea City, he let a mage set up a temporary Teleportation Circle and teleported directly to the port city of Hengjing, belonging to the Martial Arts Guild. Only then did he lead Qianye Fengwu out of the city, removed her blindfold, and untied the magic rope that bound her.

"You’re free now. Go ahead and send a message to your God of Slaughter," Meng Junlin said indifferently to Qianye Fengwu, then turned and walked away.

After removing the silk scarf from her mouth and gasping for deep breaths while bent over, Qianye Fengwu finally caught her breath. She glanced at Meng Junlin, who was walking into the distance, furrowed her brow slightly, and then sent a message to Huang Yi: "Big Brother God of Slaughter, I am free."

"Then get ready, we’re about to rescue the rest of the hostages," Huang Yi quickly replied, then changed his Avatar’s identity from Big Baddie back to God of Slaughter.

"The rest of the hostages? Big Brother God of Slaughter, do you know where we were being held?" Qianye Fengwu was immediately shocked, as she herself did not know where she had been held captive these past days, and yet Huang Yi knew.

"Yes! Get ready. Just in time, Loneliness, Lei Jun, and Mirror Broken are all prepared. I’ll count down from three seconds, and at that moment you will all simultaneously activate Hero’s Teleportation towards my direction. After arriving here, we’ll quickly deal with them," Huang Yi replied at once.

"Okay!" Qianye Fengwu nodded, pulled out her bow and arrows from the storage ring, and looked slightly angry, ready to avenge her earlier humiliation.

...

Now hiding inside the flower house using Absolute Invisibility, Huang Yi silently observed the black-clothed guards.

About a dozen of them were either sitting cross-legged or dozing off, looking lax and listless, a stark contrast to their vigorous appearance when Meng Junlin had previously visited. They were wholly unaware that a God of Slaughter was now among them.

Soon, all these men would be killed instantly, in a swift and decisive battle. Huang Yi’s allies for this task were the five experts from the Hero Guild he had brought along; all of them possessed Hero’s Rings, which would allow them to teleport to his side instantly.

"Three!" Huang Yi sent the countdown message to the five.

"Two!"

"One!"

After counting down, the five immediately activated Hero’s Teleportation Skill towards Huang Yi!

"[System Prompt]: [Loneliness] wishes to teleport to your side, do you agree?"

"[System Prompt]: [Qianye Fengwu] wishes to teleport to your side, do you agree?"

"[System Prompt]: [Lei Jun] wishes to teleport to your side, do you agree?"

...

The next moment, Huang Yi almost simultaneously received the teleportation requests from all five people and agreed to all!

Instantly, five figures appeared out of thin air! They quickly assessed the situation and swung their weapons, launching attacks on the unsuspecting black-clad men.

The black-clothed guards were utterly taken by surprise, they hadn’t even had time to react. Nobody could have imagined that this deeply hidden flower house would be infiltrated so stealthily and silently.

In the blink of an eye, the group of black-clothed guards had sustained heavy damage; they were beaten to an inch of their lives, and one was even unluckier, instantly getting instakilled. However, Qianye Fengwu and her four companions entered a state of sin due to the malicious attack, but Huang Yi was fine as he hadn’t teamed up with them and was an outsider to the situation.

Two whole seconds later, the black-clothed guards finally reacted and launched their counterattack, with some of them even unleashing group attacks.

At once, their group attacks struck Huang Yi’s incarnated form, which was in the midst of using invisibility! He was immediately revealed from the air.

But Huang Yi didn’t mind at all; instead, a sense of exhilaration rose in his heart as now he could declare self-defense without incurring any sin value punishment.

The elf dragon wings on his back flashed instantly, and his third-generation incarnation almost instantly drifted amid the group of black-clothed men. He then pulled out his Bloodstained War halberd and began to slaughter frenziedly!

His third-generation incarnation was inherently strong, and with the active state of the Slaughter Curse, facing enemies with doubled all attributes, this incarnation was not at all inferior to his original self!

"Puh! Puh! Puh!" Huang Yi’s Heavy Judgment was released continuously, turning one black-clothed man after another into a skyful of flying flesh! It was like a display of human fireworks! The experts carefully selected by Miyamoto Musashi were falling one by one at Huang Yi’s hand.

Huang Yi fought with unrestrained pleasure; he had been stifling for too long, unable to cleanse his sin value due to the curse, and only during legitimate self-defense could he unleash his tremendous attack power.

"Disarm!" At this moment, a black-clothed man brandished an axe and was about to strike at Mirror Broken. Huang Yi was faster with his disarm skill, snatching the axe away and preemptively thwarting the man’s attack.

Soon after, the black-clothed man was penetrated by one of Qianye Fengwu’s powerful arrows. His death also signified the end for all the black-clothed men—they fell, leaving a pile of equipment behind, which were all orange gear and not worth picking up.

From teleportation to the end of the fight, it took less than a minute for the six of them! The people Huang Yi brought were far stronger than average players, and had they been weaker, they certainly couldn’t have resolved the battle so efficiently and cleanly.

"Hurry up and untie them; we need to leave within three minutes. This place will soon become a sensation, and it will be too late to leave then," Huang Yi quickly instructed the five, then immediately rushed to the dozens of hostages to start untying them, freeing them from their captive state.

At this moment, one of the high-ranking members of the Styx Sect Guild, who was untied by Huang Yi, looked at him gratefully and said, "God of Slaughter, thanks for saving my life! If there’s anything you need in the future, just ask our Styx Sect Guild for help!"

"Yeah! Thank God of Slaughter for saving me; next time, our Eternal Myth Guild will always stand with the Hero Guild."

"Thank you, the experts of Hero Guild for saving me!"

Soon, the other rescued individuals also thanked him gratefully. With this rescue, Huang Yi instantly gained favor from the top echelons of China’s leading powers. If there had been any controversy over him before, this action now dissipated any such disputes completely.

...

Meanwhile, Meng Junlin, who had just let Qianye Fengwu go, sent a message to Miyamoto Musashi to inform him that the hostages had been released.

When Miyamoto Musashi in Muyi City received the message, he immediately said to Huang Yi, "God of Slaughter, I’ve released Qianye Fengwu! Now it’s your turn to release Zhitian Shi."

"Is that so? I’ll send her a message to check," Huang Yi said, feigning innocence, while doing his best to stall for time and also preparing to make his getaway at any moment.

"Hm?" Very soon, Miyamoto Musashi received a frantic message from those black-clothed men in Northern Sea City, a message so urgent that it gave him an ominous premonition!

He opened it immediately!

"God of Slaughter has found our hostage hideout. He has just led a group of experts here, and we’ve all been killed! The hostages have fallen into their hands!"

Miyamoto Musashi’s heart sank. Even though Huang Yi was standing right in front of him, the whole world knew that Huang Yi had another incarnation, which most likely went to rescue the hostages!

"You’re playing me!" Miyamoto Musashi’s face contorted, his eyes glaring angrily at Huang Yi, his voice quivering with intense rage!

"Tit for tat," Huang Yi replied with a slight smile, then pushed Zhitian Shi towards Miyamoto Musashi and said, "Now I’ve returned my hostage to you, and we’re even. If you dare to harm Qin Shiyu, then I can very confidently tell you that the Martial Arts Guild will face a round of furious retaliation!"

"Kill!" Miyamoto Musashi immediately took Zhitian Shi and then, with a large wave of his hand, issued a kill order for Huang Yi. At the same time, he sent a message to the people in Northern Sea City to hurry to the Flower House to stop Huang Yi’s incarnation from rescuing anyone.

"You won’t be able to stop me! Goodbye!" Huang Yi said to Miyamoto Musashi, then suddenly disappeared from everyone’s sight!

"Huh? Where is he?" The others, ready to pounce and kill Huang Yi, found themselves hitting thin air—Huang Yi had vanished without a trace!

And so, Miyamoto Musashi’s arrangements in Muyi City declared a failure! (To be continued.
