Heroes' Prison

Chapter 675 - 649: The Last Component

"Heavy Judgment!" Just at that moment, Huang Yi’s bloodstained War Halberd in his right hand stabbed toward Death Wing like lightning!

Trapped by the air with nowhere to leverage, Death Wing, facing a super-first master like Huang Yi, didn’t even have a chance to dodge.

Under the pure moonlight, the Bloodstained War Halberd, like a Golden Dragon, viciously pierced into Death Wing’s body!

"Bang!" The next moment, Death Wing exploded into a sky of flesh, pieces of blood and meat falling from the sky like a bloody rain, staining the pure moonlight with a tinge of red!

At the same time, a golden light flashed past from Death Wing’s corpse, which was his Bloodstained War Halberd component! The golden patterns on it flowed under the moonlight, incredibly mystical!

Huang Yi immediately reached out and grabbed the component firmly in his hand!

With that, all five components of the Bloodstained War Halberd were assembled!

"Quick, attack him! Use special skills!" At this moment, the ground erupted with incessant shouting. The top masters of the Land of Dongying finally reacted.

Everything had happened in the blink of an eye, and their response was not slow. They raised their weapons, ready to attack. But those who were caught in the air by the Net of Justice still hadn’t fallen. They blocked beneath Huang Yi with their bodies, making it impossible for those on the ground to dare attack, fearing they would hurt their own.

"Little Dragon, hurry!" Huang Yi spurred Little Dragon’s belly, seizing the opportunity to rush toward the distance at high speed.

Little Dragon immediately flapped its black wings vigorously. Its speed was already astonishing, and now, with Huang Yi’s All Attributes doubled, including Absolute Movement Speed, which could enhance Little Dragon’s speed, their pace had become almost a wisp of smoke.

Those who had been caught in the air started falling, one by one crashing to the ground, causing considerable damage. Meanwhile, Huang Yi had flown over two hundred meters away, virtually outside the Attack Range. Only ultra-long-range attack skills like "Flying Axe" could reach him now.

"He actually escaped!"

"If he had been just a second later, my Exclusive Skill would have definitely kept him here!"

The top Japanese masters at Teleport Plaza, watching Huang Yi’s fading figure in the distance, couldn’t help but curse with resentment.

"There’s no need to be angry. As long as we have Qin Shiyu, the God of Slaughter will surely show up again. Let’s go find Miyamoto Musashi at Central Plaza now," the Heavenly Dao said calmly, glancing at the distant figure of Huang Yi, then turned away and strode forward.

The other Guild masters followed him. This group of the Land of Dongying’s top masters converged into a stream of people, advancing towards the direction of Central Plaza.

...

Riding atop Little Dragon, Huang Yi flew while frowning at the Bloodstained War Halberd component in his hand.

Now, the component had changed; it was once again covered in rust, concealing the bronze surface and the golden patterns.

Initially, when Death Wing obtained this component, he had already burned a piece of Legendary Equipment to restore its power. But after the Bloodstained War Halberd changed ownership, it reverted to its original state.

Now, Huang Yi needed to burn another piece of Legendary Equipment to reawaken its power. But without any spare Legendary Equipment to burn, he could only temporarily store it in the storage ring.

He needed to find a way to acquire a piece of Legendary Equipment. All of the top masters in Japan were now converged in Northern Sea City, and many players there possessed Legendary Equipment. Aside from masters with "Deathproof Equipment" like Miyamoto Musashi and Jun Zhiye, everyone else was his target. With some luck, he would be able to claim a piece of Legendary Equipment.

Just now, after he killed Death Wing, his military rank had broken through the final threshold, advancing to the seventh level – Third Class Sergeant Major. The bonus to his three attributes increased by another 1%. He was becoming stronger with each battle. As long as he had time to keep fighting this way, his advantage would become more pronounced. However, Miyamoto Musashi would not give him that time.

Furthermore, once he killed enough people to break the Slaughter Curse, when facing other players, he wouldn’t be able to maintain the doubled All Attributes state anymore. That would be his most dangerous moment – and the time he was most likely to fall!

"God of Slaughter, if you want to see Qin Shiyu alive, then come to Central Plaza immediately. The show is about to begin." Just then, through the skies above Northern Sea City, Miyamoto Musashi’s voice suddenly echoed!

Huang Yi’s heart sank as the other party suddenly used Lord Mode to issue a call to arms. It seemed like all of the top experts from the Land of Dongying had already assembled at the Central Plaza, just waiting for him to take the bait. The critical moment of this great battle had finally arrived!

"Little Dragon, we’re going to save Qin Shiyu!" Huang Yi patted Little Dragon on the head and immediately urged it to fly at high speed toward the Central Plaza.

...

The Central Plaza was immensely vast, resembling an open field, and was the most expansive plaza in Northern Sea City.

At this moment, it was swarming with people, with well over a million players from the Martial Arts Guild gathered here, their roar thunderous, with even their breathing creating an overwhelming aura.

In the very center of the plaza, there was a raised platform, and tied upon it was a woman with a graceful figure—it was none other than Qin Shiyu. Currently, she was still wearing a mask that hid her peerless beauty, but her beautiful eyes revealed a weariness. Her long hair whirled in the night breeze, creating an image of helplessness and fragility that made onlookers unable to resist the urge to protect her.

Standing quietly beside Qin Shiyu was a figure in a white samurai robe. With his hands behind his back, and standing under the starry sky, he looked down upon the masses, his samurai robe fluttering in the night breeze, magnificently ethereal, as if he were the overlord of the world.

This person was Miyamoto Musashi. Guarding the hostage, Qin Shiyu, himself, it could be said his security was foolproof, and no one would be able to take her away.

At this time, Miyamoto Musashi looked down at the densely packed crowd in the Central Plaza. Almost all of the one million people below were his subordinates. Standing there, he was like a deity controlling the fate of living beings, receiving the worship of the crowd. However, his gaze suddenly turned dark when he saw Heavenly Dao, surrounded by players like stars around the moon at another side of the plaza.

He and Heavenly Dao were like two ferocious tigers of the Land of Dongying, and as the saying goes, ’There cannot be two tigers on one mountain.’ The two of them had always been competing in secret, vying for the position of the number-one leader of the Land of Dongying.

This time, Musashi had even received a confidential tip that Heavenly Dao was planning to dispatch an army to swallow up his Martial Arts Guild, news that left him thunderous with rage. However, with the Martial Arts Guild currently facing the formidable enemy, the God of Slaughter, although Heavenly Dao had joined due to the national war, they were effectively united in their stand against Huang Yi. Miyamoto Musashi could not afford to openly break with Heavenly Dao just yet and had to continue to maintain an outward appearance of peace.

Inside the Central Plaza, numerous media reporters were also interspersed among the crowd, broadcasting live and waiting for Huang Yi’s arrival. Forums were abuzz with countless players, and nearly ten billion viewers in front of televisions were following this war through various means.

"My friends, it is now 22:21 on May 31, and the situation has reached its most critical moment. All top experts from the Land of Dongying have now assembled at this Central Plaza. Just now, Miyamoto Musashi finally used his lord status to issue a decree across the city, delivering an ultimatum to the God of Slaughter. Relying on the hostage, Qin Shiyu, the forces of Dongying have essentially seized the initiative. The God of Slaughter, alone, is ultimately too insignificant and stands a great chance of falling here. The God of Slaughter proactively declared war on the Land of Dongying, and as of yet, he hasn’t done many earth-shattering feats on the Land of Dongying; he’s just killed a large group of people. His leverage is very limited, and after his death, this national war is very likely to be judged by the system as a defeat for China..."

At this point, almost all reporters were pessimistic about Huang Yi’s chances of winning this national war—one man against a nation was almost a guaranteed defeat!

"God of Slaughter, you’ve finally come!" Just then, the voice of Miyamoto Musashi echoed in the ears of countless viewers.

Immediately afterward, all the reporters’ cameras turned to another direction!

In the immense round moon in the sky, a strange creature resembling the Dragon Clan, with black exquisite feathers, flew into view. On the back of the creature, was a man holding a war halberd—it was Huang Yi. Below the round moon, his clear silhouette appeared, growing closer and closer to the people.

Huang Yi, riding on Little Dragon’s back, glanced at Qin Shiyu from a distance. Little Dragon also opened its large eyes wide, curiously looking at Qin Shiyu bound on the platform, seemingly unaware of why this acquaintance was tied up there.

"God of Slaughter, if you want to save Qin Shiyu, then obediently do as I say, or else, in front of the entire world, I will chop off Qin Shiyu’s head. First, land on the ground and look up to converse with me," Miyamoto Musashi commanded confidently from the platform above, hands behind his back, not fearing that Huang Yi would suddenly charge over and snatch Qin Shiyu away.

Huang Yi gazed deeply at Miyamoto Musashi, then patted Little Dragon’s head and calmly said, "Little Dragon, let’s go down."

Little Dragon immediately descended toward the ground, its vast wings blocking the moonlight, casting a shadow over a large crowd. The people quickly scrambled away, freeing up a space with a sense of terror.

Huang Yi instantly jumped down from Little Dragon’s back and landed on the ground, then put away Little Dragon.

Now, he was surrounded by over a million members of the Martial Arts Guild, completely encompassed on all sides by enemies. The opposing crowd was dense and endless, the sense of oppression immensely strong, as if he was fighting against the whole world, about to be crushed and overwhelmed by it.

"The God of Slaughter is behaving very well! Very obedient!" Miyamoto Musashi stood atop the platform, nodding in satisfaction, as if a teacher were complimenting a primary school student. The sarcasm in his voice reached the ears of countless viewers around the world.

Then, he smiled slightly and condescendingly issued a second command to Huang Yi down below, "Next, kneel before me and remove all your Legendary Equipment." (To be continued.
