Heroes' Prison

Chapter 860 - 813: Taking Action Personally

Outside the city walls lay the range of the Deadly Battle Formation—once Huang Yi jumped in, there was no way out.

As he sprinted forward, he glanced up at the golden dome of light formed by the Deadly Battle Formation overhead, his heart stirred with slight admiration for the Desire Legion’s astonishing merits—they could exchange for even something like the Deadly Battle Formation.

The Heroes’ Guild, up until now, had never even come close to exchanging for items like the Deadly Battle Formation Scroll; their Legion Merit was still far too lacking.

Huang Yi’s personal Battle Merits had surpassed those of Desire Arises from the Heart, reaching the level of a lieutenant general, ranking in the top four on the global leaderboard.

But the Heroes’ Guild’s Legion Merit paled in comparison. If Hero’s Continent were to win this national war now, the system’s post-war rewards would fall into the hands of the Desire Legion, as they had accumulated higher Legion Merit.

However, the Heroes’ Guild’s chances of overtaking them were enormous now—the number of guilds under their command was skyrocketing by the hour, showing immense potential. Meanwhile, the Desire Legion was almost an empty shell after Desire Arises from the Heart’s traitorous actions were exposed.

At that moment, Huang Yi could distinctly feel that the Heroes’ Guild was gaining the upper hand in this battle. Along the way, almost everyone he encountered was from the Heroes’ Guild—sightings of the Invading Army were few and far between. Inside the Deadly Battle Formation, their numbers seemed endless; even after death, they resurrected to fight once more.

"Boom!" Right then, a thunderous explosion jolted Huang Yi’s attention.

He turned toward the source of the sound and immediately caught sight of the valiant figure of Yang Yuheng.

Yang Yuheng at that moment was like a War God, soaring through the air. The Priest’s Staff in his hand swept in all directions, releasing waves of milky-white light rings, slaughtering enemy players with ease.

The Heroes’ Guild had even deployed a dedicated division to protect him, acting as his support to assist with his kills and level-ups.

Many enemy players soared into the sky, attempting to take Yang Yuheng down, but one by one, they fell lifeless from the air, their corpses raining down like a grim deluge.

Yang Yuheng’s incredible display quickly drew the attention of countless reporters and spectators alike!

The battlefield’s situation was now apparent. On the surface, it seemed like a contest between the Invading Army and the Heroes’ Guild, but in truth, it was a rivalry between the Chess Saint and Yang Yuheng. Whoever ascended to the Heavenly Realm first would essentially decide the victory for their respective legion in this war.

At last, Huang Yi pushed through the throng of his comrades and spotted, from a distance, a surge of Rain of Life. This was the hallmark skill of the Ganges—its range far surpassed that of an ordinary Priest’s Rain of Life, almost enveloping the entire battlefield.

Amid this Rain of Life, the Chess Saint stood bathed in a brilliant green light, unperturbed in his slaughter, surrounded by layer upon layer of Invading Army, protecting him vigilantly.

Members of the Heroes’ Guild charged valiantly at the encirclement, but they could never break through. The Invading Army, sustained by the Rain of Life, were incredibly hard to kill. On the contrary, the Heroes’ Guild members fell one after another.

"God of Slaughter, you’ve finally arrived!" At this moment, Ganges suddenly turned his head to gaze at Huang Yi, his chilling eyes locking on from afar.

Then, the branch of the World Tree in his hand abruptly traced a circle, emanating waves of green light that spread across a vast area, landing on every member of the Invading Army around him.

Huang Yi instantly recognized this green light—it was the same one he had encountered back in Dragon Sea when competing against the Sea Dragon Emperor for the Ganges Fleet. Back then, Ganges had used this light to shield his fleet, rendering even the Sea Dragon Emperor’s assaults ineffective. Ultimately, it was Huang Yi’s possession of an additional Divine Artifact Fragment fused into the Sea-Calming Divine Staff that turned the tide and defeated Ganges.

Now, Ganges was using this same green light again, underscoring how seriously he regarded Huang Yi, even though he was merely in Reincarnation.

Upon hearing Ganges’ words, everyone nearby turned their heads to look at Huang Yi, only now realizing he had arrived.

"Big Brother God of Slaughter is here! Fantastic!" The members of the Heroes’ Guild shouted in excitement. They couldn’t break through the enemy’s encirclement, but with Huang Yi’s arrival, their hopes skyrocketed.

"God of Slaughter, are you here to kill me? I’d like to see if, in Reincarnation, even just in an Incarnation, you possess the ability to take me down." The Chess Saint called out mockingly to Huang Yi, his tone full of confidence.

Huang Yi didn’t respond. He immediately launched **Judgment** against the Chess Saint!

The plan was to drag the Chess Saint into the high skies, preventing him from killing—securing victory in this battle as a result.

But the next moment, the skies remained calm and clear. No storm clouds or lightning appeared; the Judgment failed to pull them into the air.

Judgment had failed!

Huang Yi’s gaze instantly locked onto the green light surrounding the Chess Saint. It seemed the failure of Judgment was due to this light.

Beyond the Chess Saint, all the other powerful Invading Army members, including Ganges himself, were also protected by the same green light.

If this layer of green light wasn’t removed, skills would be ineffective against them. It was the same situation with the Sea Dragon Emperor last time—this was one of Ganges’ major tactics.

"God of Slaughter, have you realized your skills are useless? The Chess Saint is under my protection—he won’t die!" Ganges brandished the branch of the World Tree, continuing to emit waves of green light, further empowering the Invading Army around him. Then, he sneered, "You took my Ganges Fleet last time. Now it’s time to pay the price!"

Although his words were in Hindi, the system perfectly translated them into various languages for all players in the battlefield to hear. The chilling, oppressive fury in his tone was preserved fully through the translation.

With a sudden burst of speed, he charged toward Huang Yi, a green phantom trailing behind him as he tore through the chaos of the battlefield, like a one-man army advancing.

To the Heroes’ Guild members surrounding Huang Yi, Ganges’ lone charge felt as if he brought an entire army’s invincible force crashing down upon them.

Journalists from various nations kept their eyes glued to the scene, eagerly awaiting the clash between these two Super-First Masters in a battle of revenge!

"Shadow Dance!" In a flash, Huang Yi activated the attached skill of his Legendary Cloak, vanishing into thin air.

Immediately after, he followed up with **Pursuit**, chaining together five charges from his Pursuit Rune’s effects. In Stealth Mode, he surged ahead four hundred meters, disappearing from the spot entirely.

The next instant, Ganges reached the location where Huang Yi had just been, scattering a crowd of Hero’s Continent players.

"Invisibility? Hmm..." Ganges muttered to himself as he saw Huang Yi vanish. He promptly used his stealth-revealing measures, scanning his surroundings vigilantly.

But all he saw was emptiness—Huang Yi’s trace was nowhere to be found.

It was as if a living person had just evaporated before countless eyes. Ganges’ burning anger for vengeance had struck nothing but air.

Frustrated, Ganges clenched his jaw and turned his wrath on the nearby Heroes’ Guild members! The branch of the World Tree in his hand danced wildly, leaving a trail of devastation as Heroes’ Guild members collapsed in droves!

...

Meanwhile, Huang Yi was racing in the direction where T.N.T. was located.

He could have activated the "Lightning Conductor" state of his Thunder Guard Bracers to increase his movement speed tenfold, making his journey much faster.

But that was a newly acquired skill he hadn’t revealed to other players yet. The more he could keep it hidden, the better—he might be able to use it as a surprise trump card during a critical moment.

As he ran, he sent a message to Gentleman: "Leave T.N.T. to me—you focus on taking down the Chess Saint!"

Upon receiving the message, Gentleman, who had been locked in fierce combat with T.N.T., immediately disengaged and sprinted toward the Chess Saint’s position with all his might.

But T.N.T. wasn’t about to let him off. He chased after Gentleman, laughing as he shouted, "Gentleman, we were just getting started—why leave so soon?"

In their fight just now, T.N.T. had indeed held the upper hand. Gentleman had only recently reached the Super-First-Class level and couldn’t yet contend with top-tier masters like T.N.T.

Among all the Super-First Masters in the Invading Army, T.N.T., the Pope, Miyamoto Musashi, and Heavenly Dao were the strongest. Fuchan Fenrao and Ganges followed, with Dante and Kid—who had been delayed in the car crash—forming the next tier. Gentleman ranked below Dante and Kid by yet another level.

"T.N.T., how about facing me instead? Our last proper duel was back during the Martial Arts Tournament, wasn’t it?" A familiar voice echoed through the air, spreading far and wide—it was Huang Yi, who had just arrived.

His words struck a nerve with T.N.T. During the Martial Arts Tournament, T.N.T. had achieved an undefeated streak of 31 victories in the points rounds, becoming the favorite to win the championship. However, in the quarterfinals, he had been directly eliminated by Huang Yi, a humiliation he could never live down.

Hearing this voice, some reporters still scanning for Huang Yi’s trail quickly redirected their focus to him again.

T.N.T.’s expression darkened immediately. He stopped his pursuit of Gentleman and turned to face Huang Yi, who was quickly racing toward him across the battlefield!

With a flick of his wrist, the Magic Wand in T.N.T.’s hand fired off five rapid shots in Huang Yi’s direction!

"Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom!" Five pillars of fire erupted ahead on the path Huang Yi had to take, like the sudden eruption of a volcano.

Unable to dodge in time, Huang Yi was caught in the fiery blast. His entire body was engulfed in flames, burning brightly as if turned into a human torch.

T.N.T. sneered at the sight, "I thought you had something special up your sleeve, daring to challenge me while in Reincarnation with just an Incarnation. Turns out you’re all show, no substance."

But a moment later, his sneer froze in disbelief. Although Huang Yi was engulfed entirely in flames, his Health Points were depleting at an incredibly slow rate!

"How is this possible?!" T.N.T. gripped his Magic Wand tightly, no trace of mockery left on his face.
