Chapter 730 - 698 Battle Outcome (Part 1)
"Emperor Gu Xing is dead!" Everyone finally snapped out of their shock!
The world was rocked!
"Ladies and gentlemen! Emperor Gu Xing has actually been killed! Instead, it’s God of Slaughter who survived. How exactly did he kill Emperor Gu Xing? Just now, Emperor Gu Xing was clearly in an absolutely dominant position; the one who should have died was God of Slaughter. But why is reality the exact opposite?"
"The fact that God of Slaughter could even kill the so formidable Emperor Gu Xing, how did he do it? With such strong abilities, what will be the outcome of this national war?!"
The reporters were at a loss for words, and could only describe everything before them with their exclamations of astonishment!
An enemy believed to be unkillable was killed by Huang Yi!
A battle that nearly everyone thought unwinnable was turned around by him!
Hovering high in the sky, Huang Yi surveyed the city below, its countless lights and well-planned streets and alleys worthy of being one of the two most important cities of the Martial Arts Guild.
But at this moment, this bustling city seemed so fragile; there was no one left to stop him there! He felt as though he was the true master here, the lord of this territory!
Although the aftershocks of his fight with Emperor Gu Xing were still present, and he was still in that "Fight to the End" state, unable to use any non-combat skills for 24 hours, there was no one in the city left who could threaten his life. Even without life-saving skills, he was safe!
In the spotlight, he swiftly descended from the sky, his figure under the moonlight like a Heavenly God descending, landing in front of Emperor Gu Xing’s corpse.
This lofty, disdainful Emperor was now sprawled on the ground in the most unsightly manner, his dragon robe drenched in blood, his purple gold crown flattened and disfigured.
Huang Yi slowly squatted down and placed his hand on Emperor Gu Xing’s body!
Suddenly, a white soul spirit was extracted from that corpse, pulled into his own War Soul, replacing a soul spirit of over 170 levels.
The bonus of Emperor Gu Xing’s soul spirit was indeed higher; it increased his Attack by 2%, Defense by 1%, and Health Points by 1% compared to the previous soul spirit.
Huang Yi took a deep breath, as if a haze in his heart had dispersed in that instant.
He soared into the sky, flying rapidly toward the distance, preparing to start a carefree slaughter!
Now that even Emperor Gu Xing, his last reliance, was dead, who in Northern Sea City could possibly be his opponent?
He could indulge in killing, for a week, a month, a year; as long as he wished!
No one was his match!
Huang Yi took a deep breath, gazed down at the vast land below, and revealed a carefree smile.
At this moment, he was God, the fates of all beings below in the palm of his hand.
But this moment lasted only an instant; the last move of Miyamoto Musashi revealed itself—
"Whoosh!" Just then, an unparalleled sharp whizzing sound came from the northern sky!
This intense sound of splitting air was not something human strength could produce, but seemed to come from the vast space of the universe, carrying with it the momentum to destroy planets!
Huang Yi turned his head in alarm, and suddenly saw a burning asteroid rapidly shooting toward him from the depths of the night sky!
This massive fireball, containing the strength to destroy heaven and earth, made even an invincible powerhouse like Huang Yi feel incredibly insignificant.
The scene was as if a planet in the universe were about to collide with this star!
"Boom!" The next moment, the asteroid brushed past Huang Yi and smashed into the ground where he had just been standing, exploding violently!
In an instant, Huang Yi suffered the most unforgettable destruction since he entered The Second World!
The entire continent seemed to tremble violently; massive, intense shockwaves spread in all directions, sweeping over everything!
Building after building was blown into ash without any suspense, spreading outward!
Wherever the shockwaves reached, the ground suffered, buildings collapsed, and nothing could be preserved!
And at the explosion’s epicenter, an enormous mushroom cloud rose, bringing with it clouds of smoke and ash that shot straight into the sky, darkening the heavens and soaring into the stars.
This was on the scale of an asteroid colliding with Earth, more powerful than a nuclear explosion—enough to destroy everything!
Everything on the ground had been vaporized to ash in the blink of an explosion, nothing left not even remnants!
Only those with life-saving talents survived by a fluke, but they were blown to who knows where by the fierce currents, their bodies uncontrollably tossed about!
The sky was not safe either; the huge mushroom cloud had immense offensive power. Many reporters flying in the sky were also blown to ash, their live broadcasts abruptly cut!
Countless players watching the live stream only managed to hear a violent explosion before the screen went dead; they did not know what had happened.
Everyone had ominous suspicions in their hearts; Northern Sea City might have undergone a drastic change!
...
Meanwhile, Huang Yi flying in the air was also startled into a cold sweat!
This was clearly the commotion that a Magic Cannon could cause! And it was that kind of enhanced Super Magic Cannon!
The Magic Cannon was a super weapon of siege that could not easily be resisted by human strength; even he, hailed as the foremost person in this world, could not use his flesh and blood to withstand such a Magic Cannon.
Although he had just moved far away from the center of the explosion, his Health Points were still blasted down to only 45%!
He couldn’t use any life-saving skills now, and when his health points were depleted, he would truly die!
Huang Yi glanced at the direction from which the magic cannon had come and hurriedly flew over at high speed. Although the magic cannon was powerful, it required someone to operate it. As long as he killed the person controlling the magic cannon, the threat would be gone!
"Swoosh!" Just then, another magic cannon fired from a different direction, emitting a sharp, piercing sound.
Huang Yi desperately flapped the Golden Holy Dragon Wings on his back, moving so quickly that he almost became a streak of lightning, continuing to rush towards the distance!
"Boom!" On the ground behind him, another earth-shattering explosion erupted, a mushroom cloud rising, debris flying wildly, trees falling, and dirt scattering!
Although Huang Yi was flying fast, he was still slightly affected, and his health points dropped to 34%!
He didn’t dare to stop anymore, he could only keep his head down and fly forward at full speed. The magic cannon had clearly been aimed at this area during his battle with Emperor Gu Xing, and as long as he moved a bit farther away, he would be safe, as the cumbersome magic cannon would definitely not be able to target him again.
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
Subsequent explosions sounded from behind him, but they were already too far away to reach him.
He looked back, and the area that had been bombarded by the magic cannon looked like giant, shocking wounds, a glaring sight amid the bustling Northern Sea City.
With each cannon shot, it was unknown how many buildings were damaged or how much loss was caused! It was unknown how many billions of Gold Coins had been burned!
He hadn’t expected that Miyamoto Musashi would be so crazy, ready to kill him at any cost, not sparing even the Northern Sea City!
Finally, Huang Yi reached the area where the first magic cannon was located; it was from here that the first magic cannon had been fired.
He searched around and soon saw a chariot on a street, with a terrifying magic cannon on it, slanted in his direction. The huge black cannon barrel was foreboding and terrifying.
At the moment, more than ten players were busy around the magic cannon, having just finished reloading and were about to fire again!
But Huang Yi didn’t give them the chance. He charged down and swept by with a "Judgment," instakilling these players without a chance!
Suddenly, only the terrifying magic cannon remained at the site, exuding an intimidating force that made one’s heart tremble!
Looking at the magic cannon, Huang Yi suddenly had an idea and turned his head to look in the direction of the Magic Tower in Northern Sea City!
He had wanted to destroy the Magic Tower a few days earlier, but he was too weak to do so. If he used a magic cannon like this to bombard the Magic Tower, it would be much easier.
With this thought, he immediately began to laboriously turn the artillery chariot, aiming the ominous cannon barrel in the direction of the Magic Tower!
...
At the top floor of City Hall, Miyamoto Musashi, Heavenly Ghost Messenger, and Starry Sky looked out the window with ashen faces.
The series of explosions that had just sounded were heart-wrenching for them. This city, built with countless funds, was their creation, yet they had chosen to bombard it!
However, even after several rounds of bombardment from the magic cannons, Huang Yi had still survived and not died.
What terrified them further was the recent news from the operator of one chariot—they had all been killed by Huang Yi, and their chariot had fallen!
"Boom!" Just at that moment, they heard an explosion from another direction!
This time, the blast was unmistakably coming from the direction of the Magic Tower!
The three of them trembled as they thought of a frightening possibility and hurriedly raised their heads to look at the sky!
Indeed, the previously stable Heavenly Curtain Barrier seemed to be severely shaken by the sound of the cannon, violently swaying as if it could break at any moment!
"Damn! The God of Slaughter must be using that magic cannon to target our Magic Tower, trying to break through our Heavenly Curtain Barrier!" Starry Sky’s face turned livid as he stared at the burst of light in the direction of the Magic Tower and muttered his guess.
"Our Subsidiary Battle Flag is inside the Magic Tower too! If the Magic Tower is destroyed, our Subsidiary Battle Flag goes down and this place will no longer be our territory!" The raspy voice of Heavenly Ghost Messenger also began to tremble slightly.
In that moment, Miyamoto Musashi appeared as if his soul had been sucked out, his gaze dimming suddenly.
The cannon fire echoing through the distant night sky reflected in his eyes, twinkling with a flickering light.
He felt a deep sense of powerlessness from within, and even the magic cannons had failed to take effect; he seemed to have become a complete failure.
Suddenly, a fuse seemed to emerge from the depths of his eyes, lit by the bursts of light reflected in them. A crazy idea surged suddenly in his heart.
He took one last look at Northern Sea City through the window, took a deep breath, and said in a chilling tone, "Send the order! Instruct the warships near the Northern Sea to aim all their magic cannons at Northern Sea City, and obliterate this city!"
"What?!" Heavenly Ghost Messenger and Starry Sky cried out in unison!
"You, say that again?" Heavenly Ghost Messenger rasped, looking at Miyamoto Musashi.
"I said, have our warships aim at Northern Sea City, and obliterate this city!"
"Obliterate it? You’re not wrong? This is one of our two most important cities! It cost countless money to build! And you want to obliterate it?" Heavenly Ghost Messenger straightened his hunched body, locking eyes with Miyamoto Musashi!
"Do you have another choice?" Miyamoto Musashi challenged.
"We could remove the Heavenly Curtain Barrier to let him leave, and save our Northern Sea City! The life of the God of Slaughter isn’t worth as much as Northern Sea City," Starry Sky said through clenched teeth.
"Let him leave?" Miyamoto Musashi snorted coldly, shaking his head decisively, "I’ve said before that, at any cost, I must see him dead! He must die! What is one city worth? Even if it destroys the entire Martial Arts Guild, I want him dead!"
His voice carried a manic tone, a tenacity that would not stop until his goal was achieved!
