Heroes' Prison

Chapter 716 - 685: One Against Two

Huang Yi was already capable of defeating those players and causing them to scatter in disarray before his Second Transformation. Now, with even stronger abilities after his transformation, he didn’t need to exhaust all four extended-range attacks at once—just casting "Judgment" was sufficient.

At this moment, he had descended to the ground, clearing out a large swath of people, leaving only a few knights who, bolstered by their "Knight’s Body" status, scattered and fled like ants into the various alleys of the city, quickly disappearing from sight.

Huang Yi, mounted on the impressive Little Dragon, looked down from the high skies at the bustling city, watching the knights disperse in all directions.

"Blood Strike!" Thirty seconds later, he immediately utilized the attached skill from the Bloodstained War Halberd!

Instantly, those knights who had previously been attacked by him and had fled in all directions, all sustained damage. Their "Knight’s Body" had just ended, and they were precisely in the Bare Life State; they were killed on the spot by this "Blood Strike."

Huang Yi’s Battle Merits and Experience Points surged by a small amount. This skill had the taste of taking the head of an enemy from thousands of miles away, without the need to chase and kill one by one.

"Eeek eek!" Little Dragon suddenly let out a loud cry, its large eyes fixating ahead, its body slightly tensed as if facing a formidable enemy.

Huang Yi keenly felt Little Dragon’s change. He immediately shifted his gaze from below to the front, and he saw a golden figure approaching with a powerful and oppressive aura under the sunlight!

That golden figure stood tall, dressed in a golden Dragon Robe and crowned with a Purple Gold Crown, exuding the majesty of an Emperor. It was the strong player named Emperor Gu Xing from last night. Behind him followed three others, respectively a Level 185 Guardian, a Level 175 Guardian, and a Level 165 Guardian!

Huang Yi gripped the Bloodstained War Halberd tightly, staring intently at the leading golden figure.

The main foe had finally arrived!

This was the only force in Northern Sea City capable of defeating him. That Level 195 Guardian was 34 levels higher than him, presenting not only an immense level suppression but also an overpowering edge in Attributes. Although he had undergone his Second Transformation, he still faced an enormous chasm between them.

"Lay down your weapons, and don’t struggle," Emperor Gu Xing commanded before arriving, his indifferent voice spreading to every corner of Northern Sea City, reaching the ears of everyone within.

Emperor Gu Xing spoke with the tone of an emperor issuing orders, devoid of rage but with the command inherent from a higher to a lower, which could only be obeyed.

Countless residents of Northern Sea City raised their heads, looking up to the sky where Huang Yi was, while numerous reporters rushed to the site of the spell casting.

Some reporters not far from Huang Yi instantly perked up, their voice an octave higher, as they broadcasted live, "Dear viewers, we have reached a critical moment in this war. Just now, God of Slaughter has become the world’s first player to complete his Second Transformation, shocking the world! But now, the Guardians of Northern Sea City have immediately blocked his path!"

"The leading Emperor is the newly summoned Level 195 supreme Guardian of the Martial Arts Guild—Silver Moon Lone Star, also known as Emperor Gu Xing! He was a renowned emperor during the Near Ancient Period, the founder of the Silver Moon Empire, but later, in the great war that fragmented the world into over two hundred pieces during Ancient Times, he was destroyed by an emissary under The Seven Archdemons, and his Heroic Spirit entered the Underworld. It took Miyamoto Musashi a massive amount of Guild Contribution Points to summon him back, and now God of Slaughter faces such a formidable emperor. Even after his Second Transformation, there is still an insurmountable gap in strength."

"If nothing unexpected occurs, God of Slaughter should fall gloriously under their siege. This god-like figure has been fighting alone for too long, and this national war should now come to an end!"

This sudden turn of events immediately spread through the live forum threads and television news around the real world to every corner of the globe. Spirits lifted everywhere, as people knew this battle had reached its most crucial stage, and they focused intently on the live broadcasts, ready to witness Huang Yi’s demise.

Under this intense public scrutiny, Emperor Gu Xing looked down on the throngs below, on the players with their heads tilted up, as if he were an emperor still on his throne, speaking with the benevolence of an emperor who cherished his subjects, "This is my realm, these are my people, and no one can..."

Just then, Huang Yi extended his hand towards him and pointed, a black energy instantly snaked forth under the sunlight, like a black venomous snake, swiftly striking Emperor Gu Xing!

The next moment, Emperor Gu Xing disappeared abruptly, his voice cutting off sharply!

The people inside Northern Sea City, along with the countless viewers watching the live stream, were listening to his voice, looking up at his imposing figure. Yet all of that halted abruptly, like an anti-climax, leaving an awkward feeling hanging in the air!

People exchanged glances, especially those on the other side of the city, who couldn’t see what had happened from their distance.

"Huh? His Sealing Skill is that powerful, cooling down so quickly?" The Level 185 Guardian glanced at the spot where Emperor Gu Xing vanished, a cry of surprise crossing his face marked by disbelief!

It turned out that Huang Yi had just cast the Level 150 awakening Nefalem Skill "Dark Seal" on Emperor Gu Xing, temporarily isolating him from this world, unable to return until this time tomorrow.

The Dark Seal was indeed a very powerful Ultimate Skill. Not just Emperor Gu Xing, even experts of the Heavenly Domain could be sealed by it.

The 185-level Guardian had personally experienced the power of this skill before and thought that it required a very long cooldown, thus it couldn’t possibly be used again now. But he didn’t expect that Huang Yi would actually use it again, sealing their strongest person in an instant.

This Nefalem Skill could be activated as long as there was Power of the Nefalem, with no cooldown period. However, Huang Yi’s Power of the Nefalem was now only a little over 60 points, meaning he couldn’t use this skill many more times.

"You two, dodge first!" The 185-level Guardian quickly turned around and urgently instructed the 165-level and 175-level Guardians.

But it was too late!

At that moment, Huang Yi directly initiated Judgment on the 165-level and 175-level Guardians!

In an instant, Northern Sea City dimmed, the originally sunny heavens and earth abruptly became overcast with dense clouds, as if the sky was about to collapse.

"Boom!" A massive thunderbolt, like a bayonet, struck down, lighting up the earth!

The lightning split into four, striking the 165-level Guardian, the 175-level Guardian, Huang Yi and Little Dragon, as well as his Incarnation in another corner of the city.

The next moment, they were all drawn into the Void Battlefield, completely isolated from the outside world! One side had to die completely before the Void Battlefield would be lifted.

"Originally, I wanted Emperor Gu Xing to kill you personally, but now that you are courting death, you cannot blame us," the 175-level Guardian said with a grim smile inside the Void Battlefield.

He had a pair of strange wings, one side red and the other ice blue; his clothes, hair, complexion, arms, and skin all followed this pattern, half red half blue. Even the whip in his hand was half frozen and half ablaze with flames!

Last time Huang Yi attacked the Magic Tower, this Guardian had led three 165-level Guardians to stop him. But they did not succeed and instead were judged by Huang Yi one by one, losing two 165-level Guardians in the process.

But now, Huang Yi had Judged two Guardians at once, which greatly boosted his confidence. Two against one, they always had the advantage on his side.

"Magic is supreme! Next, taste the flavor of ice and fire!" the 175-level Guardian said to Huang Yi, ruthlessly swinging his Ice-Fire Whip at him!

"Crack!" A violent breaking of the air sounded, and a half-ice, half-fire sphere viciously flew out, smashing toward Huang Yi!

Huang Yi’s true body immediately spurred Little Dragon to dodge to the side, flickering like a string of phantoms, vanishing in a flash.

His Incarnation instead initiated Pursuit on the 165-level Guardian, flashing a straight line in the sky, and quickly collided with that 165-level Guardian, stunning him!

Huang Yi’s true body, riding on Little Dragon, quickly reached the 165-level Guardian and fiercely jabbed with his Bloodstained War Halberd.

"How can he be so fast!" The 175-level Guardian was completely stunned. The speed that Huang Yi’s true body was displaying now far surpassed the last time, almost as if he had become a different person. Even if Huang Yi had successfully undergone a Second Transformation, his speed shouldn’t have improved so significantly.

Actually, the main reason was that Huang Yi had grown an extra pair of wings!

His Level 160 Evolution had granted him a pair of Golden Holy Dragon wings, which, when combined with Little Dragon’s wings, resulted in a subtle coordination that greatly increased Movement Speed!

Huang Yi dared to Judgment both Guardians simultaneously precisely because his Movement Speed had greatly increased, and he could use this advantage to slowly grind them to death!

"Heavy Judgment!" Huang Yi’s Bloodstained War Halberd, under the sunlight, turned into a gold streak, fiercely stabbing the 165-level Guardian, sending him flying away with a blow!

After his Second Transformation, his Attack Power had broken through 10,000 Holy Domain Points! And the average Attack Power of warrior players today is just over 1,300 points, meaning Huang Yi’s Attack Power after his Second Transformation was eight times the current global average for warrior players!

This overwhelming Attack Power, combined with the triple Attack Power of Heavy Judgment and Critical Damage Rune, made his offensive capability incredibly formidable. Each strike caused the 165-level Guardian’s Life to drop significantly!
