Heroes' Prison

Chapter 660 - 635 That Brilliant Light

Soon, those ten riders charged at breakneck speed into the encirclement surrounding Huang Yi and his companions!

"Swoosh!" At that moment, a cunning arrow shot rapidly from behind a tree, weaving through the leaves and bolted toward Miyamoto Musashi like lightning!

However, Miyamoto Musashi, as if anticipating an ambush, tilted his head and easily dodged the arrow. He then rapidly slashed his Eastern Sword three times toward the tree, sending three sharp Sword Qi flying over!

"Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!" Quickly, the three Sword Qi hit the tree, chopping it down and sending leaves flying everywhere, showing immense power.

Behind that tree stood one of Huang Yi’s hunters, bow in hand, his expression one of shock; apparently, he had not expected Miyamoto Musashi to evade his arrow.

"I had already scouted out your ambush point, kill!" Miyamoto Musashi snorted coldly, immediately issuing an attack command!

Instantly, the ten men dispersed, beginning to search for ambushing enemies with their numerical advantage, completely disregarding Huang Yi and his few companions. Meanwhile, Miyamoto Musashi himself did not move; he stood still, carefully observing the surroundings. As a super-first master, he was naturally there to lead, in case Huang Yi launched a sudden attack.

Huang Yi remained hidden, like a patient hunter waiting for his prey to take the bait. At that moment, one of the Martial Arts Guild’s Four Great Protectors, Jun Zhiye, approached his location. Looking around arrogantly as he moved, his expression suggested there were few in this world worthy of his notice.

"Swoosh!" Just then, a robust figure with six arms and bulging muscles appeared abruptly from behind a tree next to the protector; it was none other than the Barbarian God. It made a fist and viciously attacked Jun Zhiye!

But to a first-class gamer player like Jun Zhiye, the Barbarian God’s speed was a fraction too slow. With a flash of cold light from his hand, almost imperceptible in its quickness, a slash of blood spurted from the Barbarian God’s body!

Jun Zhiye was one of Japan’s great assassins, second only to the ninja, and the Assassin Class was the fastest in attack speed. His counterattack came with a dagger, striking first, piercing the Barbarian God before its own blow could land.

"Pursuit!" At that instant, Huang Yi, who had been lying in wait nearby, immediately activated his Charge Skill toward Jun Zhiye!

The Barbarian God’s attack was actually a feint, merely a ruse to lure Jun Zhiye into striking first. By doing this, Huang Yi could engage in self-defense, ensuring he wouldn’t accumulate Sin Value after killing his opponent.

The Charge Skill was so fast it was nearly invisible; Huang Yi burst through clusters of bushes and arrived in front of Jun Zhiye, about to collide with him.

Suddenly, Jun Zhiye vanished into thin air, having used Invisibility, causing Huang Yi to lose track of him! As expected of a first-class assassin, even in such an urgent situation, he managed to respond.

However, making an emergency Invisibility move left him with very limited escape directions. Huang Yi, not colliding with Jun Zhiye, altered his angle and charged toward the direction his opponent might flee. On his third charge, he finally collided with something solid, knocking Jun Zhiye out of Invisibility.

This technique, using Charge to break Invisibility, was something Huang Yi had used long ago during a battle with Mirror Broken, one of China’s Four Great Assassins, to force his hidden opponent out.

However, warriors capable of using Charge to counter Invisibility were extremely rare. First of all, it required a skill that allowed multiple charges; typical warriors could only charge once, unless they used a rare rune, which would enable multiple charges.

Furthermore, it demanded an even more stringent requirement: to deduce the invisible person’s likely escape path, movement speed, and angle in the shortest time possible. One had to make predictions repeatedly to find their location. There was no time for prolonged contemplation; it all had to be done in less than a second; otherwise, the moment would pass, and the invisible person would vanish without a trace, impossible to predict!

Now, Jun Zhiye was in a state of Dizziness, and in addition, Huang Yi’s Pursuit Skill had been fused with a new Five Consecutive Slash Rune. Not only did it allow for five charges, but it also dealt physical damage equal to 10% of his Attack Power to all enemies along the way and reduced their Defense Points by 30%!

At present, Jun Zhiye’s Health Points had fallen to 87% from Huang Yi’s recent Pursuit attack, his Defense Points were reduced by 30%, and he was still dazed for two seconds. As a fragile assassin, he absolutely couldn’t withstand Huang Yi’s high Attack.

Huang Yi moved swiftly, his Bloodstained War Halberd almost striking down on Jun Zhiye’s head. If this Heavy Judgment were to land, his opponent would be left either dead or severely injured!

Right at that moment, Jun Zhiye’s body vanished once again from Huang Yi’s sight, using another Invisibility Skill. Moreover, this Invisibility Skill had control removal effects, allowing him to break free from control states and recover from Dizziness.

Everything happened in the blink of an eye; in just over a second, multiple confrontations were carried out between the two.

Fighting with an assassin master is like this, the pace of the combat is extremely fast, and many changes can occur within just a second. The battle between Huang Yi and Mirror Broken even lasted only 4 seconds. And when assassins fight each other, it’s even shorter, as assassin class lacks life-saving skills and is very vulnerable; once hit, the result is often Instakill. For example, the battle between Dragon Spike, the King of Assassins, and Seeking Flowers, one of China’s Four Great Assassins, ended in just three seconds. Only by playing the footage in slow motion could anyone understand what happened.

Jun Zhiye managed to hold on for just a second or two against Huang Yi’s incarnation, but that was enough time for Miyamoto Musashi to come to the rescue!

Miyamoto Musashi swung his Eastern Sword at Huang Yi, chopping three times in quick succession. Three bursts of Sword Qi roared towards him, each with tremendous power. Huang Yi had to give up searching for Jun Zhiye, who was still in invisibility, and temporarily dodge Miyamoto Musashi’s Sword Qi.

Soon, Jun Zhiye, still invisible, appeared from afar. He looked towards Huang Yi in the distance, his eyes filled with fear. They had only clashed for a little over a second just before, and he was entirely at a disadvantage throughout, without the strength to counterattack. If not for Miyamoto Musashi’s timely intervention, he probably would have been in a life-and-death crisis by now.

At this moment, Huang Yi’s incarnation was also looking at Jun Zhiye. The two locked eyes, but Jun Zhiye suddenly discovered, to his horror, that Huang Yi’s mouth was forming a smile, as if looking at a dead man.

Seeing Huang Yi’s smile and the look in his eyes, a chill suddenly rose from the depths of Jun Zhiye’s heart. Although they were far apart, he did not feel any reassurance for his life.

"Boom!" The next moment, Jun Zhiye suddenly felt darkness before his eyes, and he lost consciousness! His body exploded into bits of flesh, dead beyond any doubt!

Behind him, Huang Yi’s figure emerged from the air as he withdrew his Bloodstained War Halberd.

This was Huang Yi’s real body. After leaving Muyi City, he had ridden Little Dragon at a lightning-fast pace to get here. His real body had just rushed over, using Absolute Invisibility to approach Jun Zhiye and unleashed Heavy Judgment, instantly killing him and achieving a surprise victory.

"God of Slaughter, your real body has finally arrived!" Miyamoto Musashi noticed Jun Zhiye’s death, his mouth twitching slightly. After all, his opponent was one of the Martial Arts Guild’s Four Great Protectors; he didn’t expect him to last only a few seconds against Huang Yi, killed cleanly and neatly.

Huang Yi’s strength was far beyond his imagination. How could he know that Huang Yi could kill Jun Zhiye so decisively because he was affected by the King of Curses’ Slaughter Curse, which doubled all his attributes during battles with players! Not to mention Jun Zhiye, even a Super-First Master like Miyamoto Musashi would not be a match for Huang Yi.

Huang Yi now had his attributes doubled, usually improving all attributes by 10% was already significant, and doubling all attributes could only be done by a few Ultimate Skills. For example, Huang Yi’s Racial Ultimate Skill "Colossal Beast Transformation," could double all attributes for one minute, but it had a cooldown of 10 days, which meant it couldn’t be used frequently.

In a sense, the Slaughter Curse from the King of Curses wasn’t entirely a curse; it weakened Huang Yi’s ability to fight NPCs but enhanced his capability to combat players.

"Ah!" Just then, a woman’s cry of shock came from not far away.

Huang Yi turned his head to look, and the woman who cried out was one of the six masters who had stayed to fight alongside him, from the Xuanyuan Guild. At that moment, she was in retreat under the attack of Japan’s strongest assassin, the Ninja, and was about to fall in battle!

"Flying Axe!" Huang Yi immediately took action to remedy the situation, throwing his Bloodstained War Halberd at the Ninja, which automatically pursued and attacked him!

The Flying Axe moved incredibly fast, covering a hundred meters each second, hitting the Ninja almost in the blink of an eye, forcefully knocking him back a distance, and inflicting severe damage! The Ninja hurriedly used Invisibility and disappeared into the air.

With that brief respite, the woman quickly moved, fearing she would be targeted by the Ninja once more. But just then, another of Japan’s top players, Sakura, suddenly launched a Charge Skill toward the woman, closing the distance immediately.

"Whoosh!" Sakura’s weapon was a fan, which she swiftly opened. The sharp edges of the fan were about to slice towards the female player’s throat, as if to decapitate her!

At that moment, Huang Yi had no way to save the woman unless he used Judgment!

Time seemed to freeze at that moment; the woman’s life was on the brink, her next moment could be her last!

"Swoosh!"

In that instant, a dazzling light flashed through the air! (To be continued. If you like this work, you’re welcome to come to Starting Point (qidian.com) to cast your Recommendation Tickets, Monthly Tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please go to m.qidian.com to read.)
