Heroes' Prison

Chapter 941 - 889: The Last Time

The world was quiet, everyone stopped, all soldiers ceased battle, and looked silently towards Sun Island. All journalists stopped speaking, staring silently at Dao Feng.

In the real world, in the open squares of cities, people passing by stopped, motionless, staring at the wall of televisions;

In office buildings, white-collar workers set aside their work, staring intently at the live broadcasts on their computers;

In the underground of cities, trains quietly passed through, and passengers focused on watching their handheld photon brains.

At this moment, whether in The Second World or the real world, whether students, white-collar workers, or laborers, no matter from which country, all were focused on Dao Feng!

"Two." Lion uttered the second number, a stronger pressure poured forth, and the Heavenly Curtain Barrier trembled slightly with the sound of the number!

Dao Feng couldn’t help but turn his head to glance at Huang Yi, who was standing calmly with his hands behind his back, not showing any sign of panic.

But the hearts of all people worldwide were in their throats, this was the last second, and Dao Feng still hadn’t knelt down, and Huang Yi, the commander of the Hero Legion, hadn’t shown any indication!

"Three!" Finally, Lion uttered the last number, casually raising his hand and pressing down upon the Heavenly Curtain Barrier, his small palm seemingly crushing the entire sky!

"Wait!" At this moment, a solitary voice resounded throughout the venue!

The voice was Sharp Sword!

All audiences worldwide stiffened, the Sword Emperor actually spoke. Given his previous mysterious tactics, this time he surely would unleash his power to resolve this deadlock.

Lion’s hand stopped in mid-air, looking down at Sharp Sword, he said: "Sword Emperor, do you have something to say? My patience is limited."

All eyes turned from every direction towards Sharp Sword. Players of the Hero Legion especially focused on him, placing all their hope on him, waiting for him to unleash his might!

"Ahem!" Sharp Sword cleared his throat, shedding his previous image as an aloof swordsman, tidied his hairstyle, and then said leisurely: "You must be that Lion just now! Your aura is quite intimidating! Honestly speaking, with strength like yours, we can’t possibly resist. Just you alone could kill us all. This matter concerns the entire Hero’s Continent, not only is everyone on this ship, but even I would be killed by you, this can’t be taken lightly. But Dao Feng is my friend, I know him well. He is a noble person, a pure person, a moral person, someone untainted by low desires, someone beneficial to the people..."

"Speak plainly!" Lion lifted his hand slightly, directly interrupting Sharp Sword’s words.

"Ahem!" Sharp Sword donned a harmless smile and said: "My point is, given Dao Feng’s character, he naturally wouldn’t want to kneel, forcing him like this is useless. As his good brother and friend, why don’t you give me some time to persuade him to kneel to you obediently?"

At these words, the venue was astonished!

Countless people had their mouths agape, staring dumbfounded at Sharp Sword, as if seeing him for the first time!

Even those 21 top-notch masters in the sky were staring blankly at Sharp Sword, they didn’t expect that the previously aloof and fierce swordsman would be so craven now.

"What’s going on?"

"Sharp Sword, how, how could he say such things?!"

"Sharp Sword is so cowardly, without even a shred of backbone! I’d rather stand and die with Dao Feng than live because he knelt!"

The venue was suddenly abuzz, countless people angrily cursed Sharp Sword. This top expert’s reputation was instantly ruined, becoming a despicable coward who feared death.

Lion quickly regained composure, smiled slightly, nodded, and said with arms folded: "Alright, I’ll give you ten minutes."

Sharp Sword shook his head like a rattle, bargaining: "Ten minutes is too short, Dao Feng is unyielding, it needs at least an hour."

"Don’t bargain with me, I’ll give you half an hour! After half an hour, if Dao Feng still hasn’t knelt, we will flatten the entire Hero’s Continent." Lion said directly, the tone allowing no refusal.

"Alright! Half an hour it is." Sharp Sword shrugged, speaking helplessly. Then he turned his head and secretly glanced at Huang Yi, pulling a long face, showing displeasure.

Huang Yi slightly relaxed, not speaking much.

It was Huang Yi who had told Sharp Sword to speak up and negotiate humbly with Lion just now, the purpose was to delay time, as each minute dragged was precious. Given Sharp Sword’s status, Lion certainly couldn’t refuse and would agree.

Though Sharp Sword was reluctant, he knew Huang Yi must have his reasons, he could only brace himself to intervene.

Huang Yi turned and glanced at the tall stone building not far behind, the building tower-like with a pointed top below which was a giant clock, this is the Bell Tower of Sun Island.

At this moment, the time on the bell tower was 8:24 PM!

This time barely fit his plan.

"Dao Feng, don’t be like Sharp Sword, scared of death—we are willing to die with you!" At this moment, several players from the Hero Legion on the island shouted to Dao Feng with a resolve to die. They clutched their weapons tightly, their expressions steadfast, all ready to die in battle at any moment.

The scene was noisy, various voices converging together, pounding on Dao Feng’s eardrums. But he didn’t respond, standing silently where he was. Meanwhile, Sharp Sword looked extremely awkward, waiting as if years were passing for this half hour to end.

Time ticked by second by second. Besides Huang Yi, no one treasured this hard-earned half hour. Everyone was gearing up, ready for a desperate battle. But to the reporters, this was just a cornered beast’s struggle, a meaningless last resistance before death.

At this point, Huang Yi saw that the time was just right, and he immediately turned his head to look at Xiao Chunzi, saying, "Sister, act now—secretly give Dao Feng and Sharp Sword an extra skill copying."

"Okay, brother!" Xiao Chunzi nodded, immediately expending 30 points of the Power of the Nefalem, secretly giving both Dao Feng and Sharp Sword an extra skill copying. For the next ten days, any skills they observed could be copied and used.

Finally, the long yet brief half hour passed.

"The half hour is up, Sharp Sword, how did the persuasion go?" At this time, Lion looked down from above at the people within the Heavenly Curtain Barrier, asking authoritatively, with a large hand slowly raising, preparing an attack.

The other twenty Super First-Class experts also stood around him, raising their weapons and assuming attack postures.

A terrifying, immense pressure instantly swept across the battlefield, causing the Heavenly Curtain Barrier, which had just stabilized, to tremble again!

"I’ve completed the persuasion." Sharp Sword nodded seriously, looking up at Lion in the sky, saying, "We’re coming over now."

After speaking, Sharp Sword and Dao Feng left the crowd, stepping into the void, slowly walking towards Lion.

"Dao Feng, don’t kneel! We’d rather die in battle than see you kneel! Don’t act like that coward Sharp Sword!" Countless players on Hero’s Continent shouted excitedly.

Dao Feng seemingly did not hear, continuing to fly with Sharp Sword towards the sky!

Huang Yi raised his head, held his breath, watching as their figures grew ever smaller!

The most crucial step had arrived. In today’s battle they employed various methods to delay time. And now, it was the final stage of their time delay tactic! This stage had to be done in just a few seconds, or even less!

If this ultimate attempt succeeded, then they would successfully drag this battle till tomorrow.

Finally, Dao Feng and Sharp Sword reached the bottom of the Heavenly Curtain Barrier, outside where 21 top-notch Heavenly Domain experts were stationed!

Everyone worldwide glued their eyes to the live broadcast, not daring to blink!

Suddenly, Dao Feng leaned his head towards Sharp Sword’s ear, whispered something.

"Kneel down! What are you whispering?" Lion crossed his arms, looking down at Dao Feng.

At that moment, Sharp Sword broke into a radiant smile, showing a set of perfectly white teeth, smirked at Lion, "Dao Feng just told me... you’re not as handsome as I am."

The whole area fell silent instantly, everyone’s heartbeat seemed to halt, the air so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

"You’re mocking me! You’re dead!" Lion’s majestic voice echoed through the sky, like a truly enraged lion!

He immediately raised a large hand, fiercely pressing it towards the Heavenly Curtain Barrier!

An awe-inspiring force burst forth like a storm, about to pour down on Sun Island!

At this critical moment, a huge vortex suddenly appeared in the sky, strands of white light swiftly descending, landing above Sun Island!

These white strands quickly intertwined, forming a massive net, swiftly enveloping the space.

Lion’s fierce attack scattered without warning, unable to form any attack power!

"Net of Peace!" Seeing those white strands, countless people immediately blurted out!

The next moment, everyone turned, intensely staring at Ronald.
