Heroes' Prison Chapter 65
Closer! Huang Yi was less than five hundred meters from the city gate! He would quickly arrive, but Man Lie was even closer to him!
If this continued, Huang Yi wouldn’t be able to reach the city gate and would be caught by Man Lie first!
"Beast, die!" The earth-shattering voice of Man Lie rapidly closed in from behind, laden with endless rage. The voice alone was already enough to deter players with weaker willpower.
Huang Yi didn’t give up and continued to sprint at full speed! By now, he could clearly see the faces of the city guards at the gate. They were all looking his way, but none of them showed any intention of helping. As long as no one was killed inside the city, they would not intervene.
"Die!" Finally, Man Lie reached just behind Huang Yi, leaped high into the air, and brought the massive hammer in his hand crashing down with the force of a thousand jun towards Huang Yi!
Huang Yi glanced back at Man Lie’s position, rolled nimbly to the side, and narrowly avoided Man Lie’s direct assault! However, the shockwave that followed still swept over him, and his Health Points immediately dropped to a sliver, almost instakilling him!
Just being swept by a shockwave, Huang Yi was almost instakilled! Such was Man Lie’s formidable power!
After landing, Man Lie quickly stabilized himself, firmly blocking Huang Yi’s path. His towering figure was like a wall, sealing off Huang Yi’s way forward. The nearby city gate now seemed like a distant world, and the light from a fire cast a giant shadow of Man Lie over Huang Yi.
"You can’t escape!" Man Lie roared, his voice surging in all directions, resonating under the night sky. Half the city’s population heard the roar, and all of them instinctively looked towards the city gate.
Afterward, Man Lie mustered all his strength and smashed the massive hammer towards Huang Yi! By then, Huang Yi was firmly targeted by Man Lie, and no matter which direction he dodged, he could not escape the Attack Range!
The next moment, Huang Yi’s small body was hit hard by Man Lie’s giant hammer!
Not far from the city gate, the Chief Guard’s eyelids twitched, as if he saw Huang Yi being smashed into a pulp!
However, the next moment, their faces revealed a strange expression! In their eyes, a bizarre scene unfolded; the person who should have been smashed to pieces was still alive!
Huang Yi wasn’t dead!
He was only blown away by the huge impact!
After landing, Huang Yi quickly continued his frenzied sprint towards the city gate without stopping for a moment!
At the critical moment just now, Huang Yi had activated the Beast King’s Racial Skill "Last Stand" to avoid that lethal strike. For the next 10 seconds, no matter how much damage he took, he would not die! His Health Points would only drop to 1, but after 10 seconds, even 1 point of damage would definitely kill him!
"Ah!" Seeing that Huang Yi was not dead, Man Lie roared angrily again, whirled his hammer, and smashed it crazily towards Huang Yi!
Huang Yi kept being blown away by shockwaves, but as Man Lie’s attacks were behind him, the powerful shockwaves actually propelled him towards the city gate!
At the fourth second, Huang Yi reached the protective bridge!
Seeing Huang Yi’s arrival, the group of guards didn’t budge, still standing in their original spots and continuing to spectate.
"Boom!" Man Lie’s giant hammer struck the protective bridge! The Magic Engravings on the bridge immediately emitted light, blocking Man Lie’s hammer blow!
At the sixth second, Huang Yi finally barely made it through the city gate!
Barbaric Hammer also reached the protective bridge, with his giant hammer once again smashing towards Huang Yi!
Just at that moment, the guards finally made their move!
They stepped forward and stopped Huang Yi!
"Entry to the city requires a Gold Coin," the Chief Guard said with a polite smile, but at this time, his smile was no less devilish than a Devil’s.
At this critical moment of life and death, Huang Yi found himself obstructed by such a trivial issue!
"Boom!" The Barbaric Hammer smashed into the ground behind Huang Yi, causing another tremor, nearly knocking him off his feet.
In the seventh second, Huang Yi quickly pulled out a Gold Coin and stuffed it into the guard’s hand like lightning before rushing through the city gates.
At that time, Man Lie swung his hammer once more, continuing his assault towards Huang Yi!
In the eighth second, Huang Yi finally passed through the city gate and truly entered the city!
"Boom!" At that moment, Man Lie’s hammer struck the city wall!
"Presumptuous! How dare you attack Thornbush City! Meet your death quickly!" Finally, the Chief Guard shouted, leading a group of formidable guards in a charge to engage in battle with Man Lie!
Previously, Man Lie had only been attacking outside the city and did not truly harbor animosity towards Thornbush City, but now, as his hammer hit the city wall, it was considered a declaration of war against Thornbush City. The guards could no longer stand idly by; they had to execute him.
"Phew!" In the ninth second, Huang Yi let out a long breath. He was finally safe!
Now, there was no possibility for Man Lie to catch up. The guards were powerful, and given that Man Lie was in a state of war with Thornbush City, they would not let him go. Even worse, Man Lie might even be killed by that group of guards.
Just at that moment, Huang Yi’s relaxed expression suddenly froze.
He realized something very bad—he was under a Bleeding debuff!
And that Bleeding State had two seconds left!
Two seconds were very, very short, but Huang Yi only had one more second left in his Undying Time!
And his Health Points were down to the very last bit! Once the Undying state ended, he would undoubtedly die should he lose a drop of blood.
The tenth second! Huang Yi’s mind went blank. This time he truly had no way out.
For the first time, he felt death was so close, with no means to resist. He had not had this feeling in a very long time; even in reality, where he had faced certain death on numerous occasions, there was always a way out, but this time, he truly had none.
Death was not scary, but Reincarnation was. If he was unlucky and reincarnated in a different country’s continent, he would not be able to return to his homeland for a very long time, unable to seek Number 9 in Dragon City, unable to visit Bai Long Lake again, unable to take Little White Cat out anymore.
In that instant, Huang Yi seemed to have a real illusion of death, as various memories surfaced in his mind. The early morning sunrises in the forests, the villages bathed in sunset, and the roads he had traveled thousands of miles with Little White Cat—all swirled in his mind, ultimately blending together into the final glance he and Little White Cat had shared before they parted.
If he truly underwent Reincarnation, then all of these would become distant memories. Who knows how many years it would take Huang Yi to return to this land, whether he could fulfill the three-year Promise Contract upon his return, whether Little White Cat was still alive...
