Heroes' Prison

Chapter 683 - 656: This is the True Meaning of the Festival

Miyamoto Musashi stood with his hands on his back amidst the void, his tone as if everything was under control, "The Attribute Exchange Potion I used is not the same kind you’ve used before. You once used Type A, which can be used on both players and NPCs, and only lasts for one hour. But what I’m using now is Type B, which is specifically for players and will last until one of us dies! Therefore, your tactic of delaying time is doomed to fail. I have considered all possible scenarios in dealing with you, and this time, your death is certain!"

Upon hearing the specific information about the Attribute Exchange Potion, countless people suddenly realized why Huang Yi had lured Miyamoto Musashi into high altitude and then used Invisibility to evade. It turns out he was trying to delay time, waiting for the potion’s duration to end! If the Attribute Exchange Potion could really only last for an hour, then delaying time wouldn’t be such a bad strategy!

But from what Miyamoto Musashi said, it seemed Huang Yi had miscalculated! Miyamoto Musashi had indeed prepared thoroughly, even considering the type of Attribute Exchange Potion he used. This particular type of Attribute Exchange Potion had an indefinite duration, ending only when one side perished!

"God of Slaughter, no need to wait any longer, dragging out the time like this is pointless, come out and fight me!" Miyamoto Musashi seemed to be making a concluding statement. He lifted his head and swept his gaze downwards as if he were an emperor surveying his own territory, lofty and peerless, without equals. He didn’t possess the ability to attack over a wide area, so trying to force Huang Yi out of hiding with attacks was not realistic.

The air remained still and quiet, Huang Yi was nowhere to be found, as if he truly no longer existed.

Everyone in the square looked up at the Void Battlefield, and the scene before them was broadcasted live to players all over the world through the journalists’ lenses!

Time ticked away by the second, and Huang Yi just did not appear! His Absolute Invisibility could last for 5 minutes, and the cooldown was also precisely 5 minutes. As long as he wasn’t attacked or didn’t launch an attack himself, he would remain in Absolute Invisibility.

"God of Slaughter, why don’t you come out and fight?!" Time passed, and Miyamoto Musashi called out again, questioning him. Some people in the audience started to lower their heads, twisting their necks to ease their muscles.

"God of Slaughter, how is this any different from being a scoundrel?"

Ten minutes had passed, and the Void Battlefield was still empty, save for Miyamoto Musashi’s voice echoing alone. Every five minutes, Huang Yi would appear in the air momentarily, but then would instantly go back into stealth. The time was too brief for Miyamoto Musashi to launch an attack on him.

"God of Slaughter, where has your previous momentum gone? Why have you now become a shrinking turtle? Are all Chinese like this?"

Twenty minutes had passed, and Miyamoto Musashi’s words grew harsher by the minute, but no matter what he said, Huang Yi just did not appear.

All the players had simply sat down cross-legged on the ground to rest, many even logged off to use the bathroom. The previously tense atmosphere had greatly relaxed.

"You coward! Do you really want to wait an hour to see if the effect of my potion will disappear? I can tell you for certain, you’re bound to be disappointed!" Finally, as if tired, Miyamoto Musashi sat cross-legged in the void to rest, seemingly ready to wait half an hour.

The journalists didn’t know how to fill the long broadcast lull and had to keep their cameras pointed at the Void Battlefield while changing the subject to the annual festival five days later.

"Dear viewers, it’s hard to say how long the God of Slaughter’s declaration of battle will last. The third annual festival is set to take place on June 5th, Indian time, and all awards are determined by the system without a jury. The outcome of God of Slaughter’s declaration of battle will undoubtedly affect the system’s judgment for the Best Individual Award!"

"God of Slaughter’s current behavior is just being scoundrelly. It’s very obvious that he is at a disadvantage now; as soon as he appears, he will die. And once he dies, the system will announce the result of this war. Judging from his actions so far, without any grand achievements to support this national war, it’s very likely that the system will judge China as defeated, which may very well cost God of Slaughter his chance at the Best Individual Award."

"However, it will soon be an hour, and we’ll see whether what Miyamoto Musashi said is true or not. It may be a key moment..."

Finally, an hour had passed since Miyamoto Musashi and Huang Yi swapped attributes!

The players who had logged off came back online, and those who had been napping on the square woke up once again. Countless eyes around the world returned to the Void Battlefield!

Miyamoto Musashi also stood up and looked around once more, saying, "God of Slaughter, an hour has passed, and you should have seen that your Attributes have not swapped back. There’s no need for you to keep hiding. The longer you drag this out, the more cowardly it proves you to be!"

"Yeah! If you’re going to fight, then fight now; if you’re going to lose, then just admit defeat quickly. Dragging this out like this is no different from a child throwing a tantrum."

"Waiting like this is really boring; it’s so late already, and I still haven’t run the Tower of Pantheons today!"

Some players from the Martial Arts Guild in the square also echoed this sentiment, and some were even yawning from fatigue.

But no matter what people said, Huang Yi just did not appear!

Soon, boos filled the arena, and the murmurs of discussions and whispers were endless!

Huang Yi’s current behavior simply lacked any semblance of a master’s demeanor!

"Heavenly Dao, what do you think the God of Slaughter is up to right now?" At that moment, the famous Japanese player Black Warrior suddenly came up to Heavenly Dao and asked.

Heavenly Dao shook his head slightly, looking up at that piece of the Void Battlefield, and said, "I don’t know, but judging from God of Slaughter’s past deeds, it’s unlikely he’s just being scoundrelly. There must be a reason for his actions."

"I also don’t think God of Slaughter is that kind of person." Fengxi, the vice president of the Dongying Guild, nodded in agreement and analyzed, "God of Slaughter is extremely cunning. Don’t underestimate any of his moves. On the surface, he’s in an absolute disadvantage now, but if we put aside nationalist sentiment and analyze it objectively, there’s still a chance for God of Slaughter to turn things around. He has faced many such seemingly desperate moments before, like the recent rescue of Qin Shiyu, which was a typical example."

At this moment, another Vice President of the Dongying Guild, Zhan Dao, stroked his chin and pondered, "Waiting like this isn’t getting us anywhere. How about this! It’s just over ten minutes until midnight, if the God of Slaughter still doesn’t show up by then, let’s call it quits and go about our own business. The system has an intelligent judgment; if the God of Slaughter continues to drag this out, sooner or later, the system will inevitably intervene. When that happens, we can come back and take a look."

Everyone basically agreed with this decision, chatting amongst themselves while they waited.

Finally, time painfully ticked away to midnight. Many people in the audience decided not to wait any longer, started cursing under their breath as they dispersed to attend to their own matters.

But at that moment, Huang Yi suddenly appeared from the sky, no longer invisible!

"Coward, you’ve finally shown up! I was almost falling asleep!" At that point, Miyamoto Musashi saw Huang Yi and immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

"It’s a new day now, I ought to present myself in a fresh light," Huang Yi said with a nod, his tone relaxed as if he was making small talk.

Their conversation instantly drew everyone’s attention!

Those who had been about to leave the square stopped in their tracks and looked up at the Void Battlefield once again!

The journalists, who had been listless, suddenly perked up and resumed their commentary!

And the drowsy audience members straightened up, watching the live broadcast intently, waiting for the fight to conclude!

At that moment, Miyamoto Musashi drew his Eastern Sword from his waist and stepped toward Huang Yi, exuding an oppressive aura, "You should have shown yourself a long time ago, what difference does hiding make? You’re still going to die."

"There is a difference, do you know what day it is today?" Huang Yi asked while watching Miyamoto Musashi approach.

"Today?" Miyamoto Musashi pondered while walking, then slowly replied, "It’s May 31st! Oh no! It’s past midnight now, it’s June 1st! Right, it’s Children’s Day. Are you planning to celebrate Children’s Day? How sweet!" said Miyamoto Musashi with a sneer.

"Actually, the real significance of Children’s Day is that on this day, you’ll be as weak as a child," Huang Yi also said with a laugh, showing no intention of dodging Miyamoto Musashi.

"Is that so? Well, I would like to see who exactly is as weak as a child!" With that, Miyamoto Musashi swung his Eastern Sword three times, casting what looked like three bolts of lightning under the bright moonlight, sending three streaks of Sword Qi slashing toward Huang Yi!

Huang Yi didn’t dodge or flinch, as if he had given up on resisting altogether, allowing the three streaks of Sword Qi to come flying toward him!

Audiences around the world seemed to see the moment Huang Yi’s body was about to be sliced into three pieces, his life ending in Northern Sea City!

But in the next instant, after the three streaks of Sword Qi slashed onto Huang Yi, they disappeared without a trace!

"Huh?" Everyone was suddenly shocked!

"A life-saving skill, huh? Let’s see how long you can keep it up!" Miyamoto Musashi continued to wave his Eastern Sword, sending more fierce Sword Qi toward Huang Yi.

But these Sword Qi disappeared after hitting Huang Yi, without exception!

Gradually, ten seconds passed, and Miyamoto Musashi still hadn’t managed to kill Huang Yi, not even a tiny bit of damage had been inflicted!

"I don’t believe you’re invincible!" huffed Miyamoto Musashi coldly, then rushed to Huang Yi’s front, bringing his Eastern Sword down directly onto Huang Yi’s neck.

But to the shock of people around the world, the sharp blade, after hitting Huang Yi’s neck, couldn’t cut even a tiny bit further as if blocked by an invisible force!

"In front of you, I am indeed invincible," Huang Yi said, nodding at that time.

One of the attributes of his Godslayer’s Naming was that once surpassing an enemy by 30 levels, he could nullify any attack from the enemy.

Previously, Miyamoto Musashi was Level 120, and he was Level 149, a difference of 29 levels, so this attribute would not take effect.

However, another attribute of his Godslayer’s Naming was that his level would increase automatically on the first of every month.

And today was June 1st.
