Heroes' Prison

Chapter 672 - 646 Pursuit of All Experts from the Land of Dongying

Huang Yi and his incarnation wreaked havoc within the crowd of the Martial Arts Guild, bulldozing through bodies wherever they went, with no one able to withstand even a single exchange. Those who were lucky enough to survive were knights who had been beaten into a state of Knight’s Body, screaming as they fled, lacking even the courage to combat Huang Yi.

"Squeak!" Just then, a sound of a crossbow being cranked came from the end of the street, where that group of youths had once again loaded the giant arrow of the siege crossbow, ready to launch!

No one here was a match for Huang Yi, the God of Slaughter; only the siege crossbow posed a threat to him!

"Net of Justice!" At that moment, Huang Yi’s true form stretched out a hand towards the end of the street and scattered his skill.

Suddenly, a net made of light was cast towards the end of the street, moving at extreme speed like lightning, instantly ensnaring all the youths around the siege crossbow!

The next moment, Huang Yi hooked his hand, immediately retracting the light net. The group of youths were dragged along and scattered as corpses around Huang Yi.

Huang Yi’s Net of Justice had already reached the Second Level at Level 125, gaining an attack effect that dealt damage equivalent to 100% of his Attack Power to anyone ensnared. Now, with the Slaughter Curse doubling all his attributes, the damage of Net of Justice surged, instantly killing the entire group of youths.

With the threat of the siege crossbow gone, Huang Yi slaughtered even more recklessly, with one life after another falling beneath his Bloodstained War Halberd. The sound of the halberd slicing into flesh, clear and distinct in everyone’s ears, was akin to the butchering of pigs in a slaughterhouse, sending shivers down listeners’ spines.

Minutes later, this one-sided massacre finally ended.

The scene was unspeakably bloody, with corpses lying in disarray and a mix of Orange Gear and Purple Gear covering the entire length of the street, while blood pooled into a small river flowing into the drainage ditches. All the reporters and accompanying spectators stood motionless, staring at Huang Yi amidst the mountains of bodies.

At that moment, he was covered in blood, tightly grasping the Bloodstained War Halberd in his hand, standing silently in the street filled with moonlight and corpses. Fresh blood dripped from the halberd’s tip and cross blade, drop by drop, plopping into the pools of blood on the ground with a "tap, tap, tap," which echoed clearly in the silent surroundings.

The world fell silent, and the reporters forgot to comment.

"Don’t follow me! I might accidentally hurt you," Huang Yi then turned and addressed the crowd of reporters and onlookers outside the street. Afterward, he stepped over the bodies, ignoring the equipment on the ground, and walked alone towards the end of the street. His incarnation, meanwhile, had taken flight earlier, flapping its wings and scouting ahead for the real body.

The reporters and pedestrians could only watch from outside the street, gazing at the increasingly distant figure of Huang Yi, while all the spectators watching the live broadcast globally were fixated on the video of Huang Yi’s retreating back.

Huang Yi’s bloody slaughter had made everyone feel a tremor from the depths of their hearts; he seemed like a real god with no sense of humanity, only the drive to kill. But his parting words of caution showed that he still had feelings, at least enough to actively avoid causing accidental harm.

"We can fly over there!" Some reporters with Flight Capability, still not giving up, said. It was difficult to fight while flying, as battles usually took place on the ground and rarely affected the sky.

Following this, the reporters either sprouted wings or used flying tools, taking to the skies one after another, flying in the direction Huang Yi had gone. They continued broadcasting and commentating for players around the world—

"Ladies and gentlemen! Ladies and gentlemen! This day is destined to go down in history. On May 31, 2123, the God of Slaughter declared war on the Land of Dongying alone—this is the first national war in The Second World since its opening. More importantly, this national war involves one man against an entire country. What fate awaits the God of Slaughter next? Will he win this national war? Please continue to follow our channel, as we will accompany the God of Slaughter to witness this historic battle firsthand..."

...

Meanwhile, in the Center Plaza far away from Huang Yi, Miyamoto Musashi, Vice President Starry Sky, Heavenly Ghost Messenger, and Ling Luo, who had just been killed and resurrected by Huang Yi, all stood there.

Ling Luo had plummeted by one Level after being killed by Huang Yi, losing a piece of equipment in the process. Fortunately, it was only Orange Gear, so the impact on his strength was limited. However, the loss of his Level caused him great anguish; he originally stood at Level 121 but had now fallen to Level 120, equal to Miyamoto Musashi.

"Are you saying he killed you in one move?" At this moment, Starry Sky looked at Ling Luo, who was about the same age as him, and opened his mouth to ask.

"Yes!" Ling Luo patted his chest, filled with lingering fear as he recalled, "I thought that no matter how strong he was, I could withstand a hit or two, use my life-saving skill to escape, but I couldn’t take even a single strike. His attributes must have at least doubled!"

"Now, ordinary means are no longer able to defeat him!" At this time, the vice-chairman Heavenly Ghost Messenger stroked his beard, his murky eyes gazing in the direction where Huang Yi was located, speaking with an elderly voice.

"So what now? God of Slaughter has initiated War Mode and has no qualms about killing. Our previous plan has failed!" At this moment, Ling Luo turned his head to look at Miyamoto Musashi and asked.

"He has declared war on us, which is an unexpected boon!" Miyamoto Musashi was not just composed, but even smiled, seeming quite pleased, "Before, God of Slaughter was only targeting our guild, which could only be considered a personal vendetta. But now, by declaring war on our entire country, the nature of the issue has changed; he has now become the common enemy of everyone in the Land of Dongying."

With that, Miyamoto Musashi immediately turned his head to look at the vice-chairman, Starry Sky, and instructed, "Starry Sky, go immediately and invite all the guilds of the Land of Dongying to send their elite experts here to jointly pursue and attack God of Slaughter, our common enemy. Our Teleportation Circle will be open to them for entry but not for exit. Though God of Slaughter can’t be dealt with by ordinary means now, it will be different with all of the top experts from the Land of Dongying here, as they have various special skills. Strong as God of Slaughter may be, he is still just one person and cannot withstand the full force of our nation’s experts. Moreover, Northern Sea City has many means prepared for him that we have yet to deploy – top-level potions, siege equipment, magic cannons, and senior Holy Domain Guardians!"

By the end, Miyamoto Musashi concluded with his hands behind his back and a steady tone, "This time, not only will God of Slaughter die, but he will also cause China to suffer defeat, severely tarnishing his reputation. Initiating War Mode was the most foolish decision he has ever made."

...

Now, Huang Yi was slowly walking through the long street, enveloped in a conspicuous red halo shaped like a blood droplet, visible from a great distance. This halo, called War Aura, was visible to all Japanese players, readily identifying him as the national enemy.

While walking, Huang Yi checked the status of his Slaughter Curse; the curse required him to kill one million people to break, and he was only at a few thousand, still far from the goal. Each curse had a silver lining, and for the Slaughter Curse, it was to initiate War Mode and kill without accruing Sin Value.

Besides, killing in War Mode would grant him a tiny fraction of the experience points at the current level of his enemy, similar to level grinding by killing monsters. After killing that group of players just now, Huang Yi’s experience points had slightly increased.

Moreover, after killing an enemy, he would earn Battle Merits based on the enemy’s military rank, the higher the enemy’s rank, the greater the merits earned. Like everyone else, Huang Yi had started with the lowest military rank, Private, but after the massacre, he had risen to the second rank, Superior Private. Starting from Superior Private, ranks came with an Attribute Bonus. The bonus was simple: an increase of 1% healing effect when treated by compatriots and a 1% increase in Attack Power when facing enemy players. But for the highest military rank of Marshal, the bonus was celestial, a magnitude that ordinary players could only look up to!

"Hmm?" Just then, Huang Yi’s flying Incarnation noticed several hundred players from the Martial Arts Guild at the end of a street. In front of them were about ten Siege Crossbows, all loaded with Arrows, aiming at the exit of the long street, ready to fire at Huang Yi the moment he appeared.

"Come forth, Little Dragon!" In that moment, Huang Yi immediately summoned Little Dragon, commanding it to perform Holy Dragon Descent, then swiftly mounted it.

"We’ll circle around to their back from the air, Instakill them!" Huang Yi gently brushed the Black Phoenix Feather on Little Dragon’s body and whispered his plan.

"Yiyaya!" Little Dragon nodded, flew out of the long street into the low sky, and according to Huang Yi’s directions, flew over the buildings, taking a wide turn.

The Black Wind Feather on Little Dragon allowed it to produce minimal noise when interacting with air, flying silently and swiftly, soon reaching undetected behind the group of Martial Arts Guild players.

At this moment, all these players held their breath, focusing on the exit of the long street, unaware that a God of Slaughter had appeared behind them.

"Forced Execution—Judgment!" Huang Yi, mounted on Little Dragon, suddenly started spinning together, unleashing a wide-range attack.

Instantly, the Bloodstained War Halberd created a fierce whirlwind, carrying a green Poisonous Miasma and rampaging like a tornado into the crowd! (To be continued.
