Heroes' Prison

Chapter 661 - 636: It’s Actually Them

This flash of light was like a strobe, instantly illuminating the entire forest, even overshadowing the sun’s rays! It made everyone on the scene squint their eyes slightly! Even super-first masters like Miyamoto Musashi and Huang Yi were no exception - they reflexively narrowed their eyes, completely unprepared for the appearance of this light!

The next moment, Sakura, like being struck by a heavy blow, spat out a mouthful of blood and flew backwards!

The woman who was originally doomed to perish remained unharmed and stood frozen in shock on the spot.

Just then, from the direction where the dazzling light had burst forth, two figures slowly emerged from the forest, having just intervened to save the woman.

These two individuals, one male and one female, were dressed in remarkably strange attire, both donning bamboo hats.

The man was garbed in a suit of black armor and wore a black bamboo hat that covered the upper part of his nose, leaving only his mouth and chin exposed. The half of his face that was visible had sharp, angular features, exuding a martial valiance. As he walked, his gaze never strayed; his posture was upright, his steps measured and firm, emitting a daunting majesty. His cloak fluttered slightly behind him, revealing an air of unparalleled elegance, like a general inspecting his troops.

The female player was clad in a white priest’s robe and wore a bamboo hat, revealing a flawless half-face free of blemishes. Her figure was voluptuous, full of infinite allure.

This man and woman, one in black and one in white, both wearing bamboo hats, had with a single move sent Sakura, a famed master from Japan, flying - demonstrating their super-first-class strength.

Upon their arrival, Miyamoto Musashi’s expression darkened while Huang Yi was slightly taken aback!

He knew these two; he had encountered them before. They were the recently-risen super-powerful masters from China - the Gentleman and his ever-present companion.

When Huang Yi had previously taken Little Dragon to the Dragon Tomb, he had first encountered the Gentleman and this female player outside Warcraft City, at a ruin of the Blood Empire. At that time, they were contending for the treasures of the ruin under the pressure of several guild powers of Warcraft City. Later, using the persona of Big Baddie, Huang Yi acquired a piece of legendary equipment in the Stone Chamber. The Gentleman and this female player arrived a bit later.

At that time, their eyes met. The Gentleman gave Huang Yi a mysterious look that seemed to see right through him, leaving no secrets hidden. Then, with a cryptic smile, he took the white-robed woman and left the ruin without further contesting for the treasure, seemingly ceding it to Huang Yi.

After that, Huang Yi developed a keen interest in the Gentleman. Enigmatic and powerful, yet very low-key, many referred to him as China’s sixth super-first-class master, an equal to Huang Yi, Sharp Sword, Dragon Spike, Dao Feng, and Thunder God.

Huang Yi had not expected the Gentleman to also come to the Land of Dongying, and to instantly send Sakura flying with a single move, displaying first-class strength. Furthermore, Huang Yi perceived six pieces of legendary equipment on him, equaling the number Miyamoto Musashi possessed.

At this point, the Gentleman also noticed Huang Yi. With a faint smile, he nodded slightly towards him as a way of greeting.

With the Gentleman’s arrival, the combatants from both sides, as if by unspoken agreement, halted their fight. The masters of Japan regrouped at Miyamoto Musashi’s side, and the experts from the China region returned to Huang Yi’s side.

The balance of power had now shifted completely. Initially, Miyamoto Musashi’s group, with their ten people, had a numerical advantage and were filled with certainty of victory. But in a short span of time, the situation changed drastically. After Jun Zhiye’s death, they were left with only nine. Huang Yi’s side still had all six people alive, and now they had the addition of Huang Yi himself and the Gentleman, two super-first masters, along with the mysterious white-robed woman who accompanied the Gentleman, and including Huang Yi’s incarnation, they totaled ten people - surpassing Miyamoto Musashi’s group.

The advantage in master-level strength that Miyamoto Musashi’s group had was also gone. They initially brought Japan’s top-level masters, commonly owning more than three pieces of legendary equipment each. The six on Huang Yi’s side were somewhat inferior, only possessing two pieces of legendary equipment each, and not a match for them in one-on-one combat. But now, with the addition of Huang Yi and the Gentleman, two super-first-class masters, their combined strength completely exceeded that of Miyamoto Musashi’s party.

"I had not anticipated the Gentleman would come to visit our Land of Dongying," Miyamoto Musashi said with a somber expression, addressing the Gentleman with a cold tone.

"You captured our people, naturally, we had to come," the half of the Gentleman’s face hidden under his bamboo hat remained calm as he replied.

"Oh? This must be a misunderstanding," Miyamoto Musashi frowned, "As far as I know, Mister Gentleman travels alone, without any guild under you, so we couldn’t possibly capture your people."

"As long as they are Chinese, they are my people," the Gentleman shook his head, uttering a sentence.

"Well said! Respectable spirit!" At this, the leader of the Assassins’ Hall from the Hero Guild, Nameless, couldn’t help but commend, being one of the six who had stayed to fight alongside Huang Yi.

"It seems that Hero’s Continent is about to rise another leader just like God of Slaughter," said a master who had stayed behind from the Sun Guild, clearly delighted at the arrival of Gentleman.

Miyamoto Musashi stared quietly at Gentleman, then glanced at Huang Yi, and suddenly sighed, "You Chinese are truly united. It’s a pity that we in the Land of Dongying are not. If Heavenly Dao had been willing to fight alongside me, then all of you here would have already died."

With that said, Miyamoto Musashi looked around at the Japanese masters, waved his hand grandly, and declared loudly, "Let’s go!"

No sooner had he spoken than he led the group of Japanese masters and straightaway left, very decisively, with no desire to linger or fight.

"It’s too late to leave now," Huang Yi watched Miyamoto Musashi’s retreating figure and uttered a chilling sentence, "I declare, Miyamoto Musashi—dead!"

This voice, as if it were the will of heaven, was pronouncing judgment on all beings below, and Miyamoto Musashi was the one who had incurred heaven’s wrath, about to suffer divine retribution!

At that moment, all of the Japanese masters trembled slightly. Huang Yi’s line was famous and was the last thing anyone in the world wanted to hear. For when these words were spoken, it meant that someone had been sentenced to death, and there was no escape from it by any means!

"Boom!" The very next moment, the originally sunny sky suddenly filled with dark clouds, the world around went dim, and countless thunder raged within those clouds!

"Crack!" A bright flash of lightning, like a bayonet, suddenly pierced from the sky towards the earth. Just as the lightning was about to strike the ground, it suddenly split into three, one striking Huang Yi, another his Incarnation, and the last one Miyamoto Musashi, quickly pulling them up high into the sky, isolated from the outside world.

"God of Slaughter is really ruthless, actually using that skill. Now, between him and Miyamoto Musashi, one must die!" At this point, one of the Japanese masters looked up at the sky and couldn’t help but exclaim.

Generally speaking, among the circle of Super-First Masters, there was an unspoken agreement not to force each other into death. This is because the level of Super-First Masters was so high, with countless treasures and skills emerging unpredictably; there were too many uncertainties. No one knew what trump card the other held. Usually, they would stop as soon as they made their point and then leave each other alone. The reason Miyamoto Musashi had left in the presence of Huang Yi and Gentleman was precisely because of this reason.

However, now Huang Yi had broken this rule, directly pulling Miyamoto Musashi into the Void Battlefield, indicating that one of the two must die. Such a resolution was not something ordinary people possessed! Even if intent on killing the other, one wouldn’t use such means—entering the Void Battlefield was akin to burning one’s boats, leaving no path of retreat.

"God of Slaughter, your killing intent reaches the sky. Are you determined to kill me?" After being pulled into the Void Battlefield, Miyamoto Musashi remained calm and serene, speaking to Huang Yi.

"Yes! If I wanted to, I could insta-kill you with a single move," Huang Yi nodded. After earning 7 National Honor Points, the system rewarded him with a Name Bestowing Skill, which was exactly like his name, called Instakill, equivalent to the effect of an instant-kill potion, immediately killing the enemy without any way to resist. However, this skill had a cooldown period of 100 days, and Huang Yi had never used it before.

"Then why don’t you make your move?" Miyamoto Musashi countered.

"I propose a deal," said Huang Yi to Miyamoto Musashi, revealing his intentions, "If I turn on the recording function and record the video of our fight, the image of you dying at my hands will go out and be known by the entire world. But if you’re willing to release Qin Shiyu, then I won’t turn on the recording function. In that case, as long as the people below don’t speak up, no one will know that you died by my hand, and your reputation can remain intact."

"You’re wrong; the initiative is not in your hands, it’s in mine," Miyamoto Musashi shook his head slightly and then methodically pulled out a potion from his storage ring!

This potion was incredibly strange—the bottle contained a black liquid that was constantly spinning, forming a black vortex, almost like a miniature black hole, ready to devour everything around it, even the gaze of the onlookers! Merely looking at this potion made one’s scalp tingle, wondering what kind of potion could be so formidable.

"I only have one bottle of this potion. It was specifically prepared for you, and now, finally, it can come into play," Musashi said, caressing the bottle in his hand with some reluctance.

"Bang!" The next moment, his arm trembled, and he directly crushed the medicine bottle.

Suddenly, the black hole formed by the black potion entered his body and was absorbed.

Seeing this scene, everyone was shocked! This potion, even the way it was used, was different from ordinary potions—by crushing the bottle and directly absorbing it!

What in the world was this potion? (To be continued. If you like this work, please come to Starting Point (qidian.com) to vote for Monthly Tickets and Recommendation Tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please visit m.qidian.com to read.)
