However, before doing that, Huang Yi needed to make so preparations.
He imdiately urged Little Dragon to land, changed his appearance, and took on the identity of Big Baddie before joining the crowd outside the city gates.
At this ti, the Heavenly Curtain of Northern Sea City was fully activated, a layer of faint golden light enveloped the sky above the city, making it look like a golden egg.
The city gate was open, but a red Barrier sealed the entrance, only those who t the criteria could enter. The Martial Arts Guild had set it up so that only "Instakill" could enter, and no one else could get in.
"Release Qin Shiyu, Miyamoto Musashi!" Outside the city gates, Huang Yi, disguised as the nurous players who were protesting, tried to break through the Barrier while shouting slogans.
"I’ll try Blinking!" A mage player stepped forward and attempted to Blink to the other side of the Barrier into the city!
"Smack!" The next mont, his face was pressed tightly against the Barrier, and he failed to teleport inside.
"I’ll try charging!" A warrior launched a Charge at the Barrier, but was likewise blocked from entering.
Countless people tried various thods, but all failed!
Huang Yi knew that there was no way to break through the Barrier without additional ans, unless one’s strength reached the Heavenly Domain Level and spent a lot of ti trying to break it.
Miyamoto Musashi would not execute Qin Shiyu until three days later. Huang Yi had three days to prepare, and he was not in a hurry to enter. Instead, he stayed outside the city, making a series of plans for once he was inside.
This ti it was no trivial matter; he needed to consider all aspects thoroughly and go through all possible scenarios in his mind before he would enter.
...
Ti flew by swiftly, and before you knew it, three days had passed.
At this point, the public opinion on the forums surged to its peak once again!
Three days ago, Miyamoto Musashi issued his ultimatum, and today was the last day. The entire world’s attention was firmly fixed on Northern Sea City!
"Ah-Yi, take care of yourself!" That night, after Huang Yi finished dinner in the canteen, all the Criminals of Rose Prison, led by Thunder God, surrounded him and escorted him back to his cell.
The atmosphere was heavy with the faces of everyone. They all knew this would be an unprecedented ordeal for Huang Yi!
"I’ll be careful! You guys just watch the live broadcast on TV!" At the entrance to the cell, Huang Yi nodded to the crowd, casting a calm glance over them, then opened the door and walked in.
The other Criminals were stopped outside the door, their concerned eyes watching Huang Yi through the bars. Then, they each returned to their own cells, put on their virtual reality devices, and logged into the forum of The Second World, ready to watch the live broadcast.
After logging in, Huang Yi and his Incarnation both appeared in a secluded corner outside Northern Sea City. He boldly reverted to his own identity and appearance and strode towards the city gate.
The area in front of the city gate was crowded with people; nearly all dia outlets around the world had sent special correspondents to cover the event live, the voices of reporters filling the air nonstop.
"Dear viewers, this is Kate from the Associated Press, and I am currently broadcasting live from the globally anticipated Northern Sea City! There are only five hours left until the Martial Emperor kills Qin Shiyu! And there are only five days left until the annual grand ceremony! In these last five hours, will God of Slaughter co? In these final five days, will God of Slaughter fall?"
"Should God of Slaughter co, the face-off between the two hottest contenders for the Best Individual Award—God of Slaughter and Martial Emperor could very well determine who will take the award ho! At present, the odds of God of Slaughter’s demise are very high. Northern Sea City is one of the two most important cities of the Martial Arts Guild, governed by the two deputy chairn of the Guild—Starry Sky and Heavenly Ghost ssenger—with top-notch city facilities, once God of Slaughter enters, he won’t be able to leave!"
"Please wait patiently. At midnight, five hours from now, we will get an outco, no matter what. Either Miyamoto Musashi will execute Qin Shiyu before the public, or God of Slaughter will arrive to rescue him."
"Hmm? Is that... God of Slaughter has arrived!" Suddenly, a surprised voice rang out from the crowd!
Everyone turned their heads and indeed saw two figures slowly approaching. Roughly looking identical, both were dressed in Chainmail, with a golden Cloak draped over their shoulders, and each held a long War Halberd. They were handso with a youthful appearance, clearly Huang Yi and his Incarnation.
Quickly, the news spread far and wide, and countless people outside the city learned about Huang Yi’s arrival. Nurous reporters ceased their comntary and stared blankly at Huang Yi. This scene was also broadcasted to the forums and transmitted to radio stations and websites around the world, catching the eyes of countless players.
The next mont, the whole world erupted in excitent!
"God of Slaughter, go for it!"
"God of Slaughter, go for it!"
The Japanese fans of Huang Yi outside the city gate were holding up banners, their shouting voices surged towards Huang Yi like a tidal wave!
"God of Slaughter, are you planning to enter Northern Sea City?" A nearby reporter imdiately rushed up and asked Huang Yi.
"Yes," Huang Yi nodded as he walked.
"God of Slaughter, are you confident that you can erge unscathed?" Another reporter pushed forward with a question.
"I don’t know," Huang Yi’s Incarnation shook his head, moving forward alongside his original self.
Soon, countless journalists sward over, surrounding Huang Yi so tightly there was no way out, following him as he moved forward. The crowd in front automatically parted, making way for him.
At this mont, Huang Yi was like walking on a starlit boulevard, facing countless gazes and shouts, heading towards the gates of Northern Sea City. The journalists broadcast his image live to the whole world, captivating the eyes of countless viewers.
Finally, Huang Yi arrived in front of the city gate Barrier, and he stopped, taking a deep breath.
Once he stepped in, there would be no turning back!
Under the enormous city gate, Huang Yi’s tiny figure simply stood there, fixedly. Countless journalists stared at him intensely, and people watching the live broadcast from every corner of the globe were also staring at the video screen, their palms involuntarily tightening.
The next mont, Huang Yi took a step forward, entering the red Barrier!
In an instant, the city gate Barrier emitted a beam of red light that shot up into the sky, bathing the pitch-black night in a red hue!
Inside the entire Northern Sea City, all the mbers of the Martial Arts Guild felt a tremor in their hearts upon seeing this beam of red light, knowing that Huang Yi had entered the city! They felt as if a ferocious beast had been locked in the sa cage as them!
At the top floor of the City Hall in Northern Sea City, Miyamoto Musashi and the two vice presidents—Starry Sky and Heavenly Ghost ssenger—were gazing at the red light coming from the direction of the city gate.
One of the vice presidents, the Heavenly Ghost ssenger, was an old man with a hunched figure, his face full of wrinkles, leaning on a cane, his eyes murky and unsettling.
The other vice president, Starry Sky, was a young priest dressed in a white robe, with a fair complexion, looking like the boy next door.
These two vice presidents, one old and one young, with Miyamoto Musashi being a young man, the three of them standing side by side, resembled three generations of a family.
"He’s finally coming to et his death!" Miyamoto Musashi said with his hands behind his back, his eyes intently fixed on the direction of the city gate.
Heavenly Ghost ssenger slowly extended his withered hand and stroked his long beard, nodding, "We have prepared all ans for him. This ti, even if he has the ability to reach the heavens, he won’t be able to escape!"
"Then let’s go! To the Central Plaza to wait for him," Starry Sky licked his lips, urging impatiently.
Subsequently, the three of them turned around and left the place.
...
As soon as he entered Northern Sea City, Huang Yi could feel a faint killing intent pervading the air, and under this fully activated Top-level Heavenly Curtain, many of his abilities were rendered useless.
Godslayer’s Mark, unable to Teleport outside the city!
Heroes’ Prison, unable to summon!
Absolute Invisibility, unable to use!
...
His strength was greatly diminished in an instant!
At this ti, around the city gate, stood thousands of mbers of the Martial Arts Guild who, upon seeing Huang Yi enter the city, all watched him tensely, gripping their weapons tightly, yet not rushing forward.
Inside were also so dia journalists who had arrived early in the past few days. They started their video recording functions, broadcasting everything happening to Huang Yi to all corners of the world.
Huang Yi ignored them and, following the city map he had morized in the past few days, walked towards the Central Plaza of Northern Sea City. Along the way, everyone he encountered followed behind him, gradually forming a huge stream of people. And nurous players in forums, as well as viewers in front of TVs, also followed the cara and Huang Yi, rushing towards the critical Central Plaza.
Gradually, Huang Yi arrived at the entrance of a long street.
This street was very narrow, one of the many inconspicuous streets in Northern Sea City. Inside it was deserted, the bright moonlight quietly shining, the stone slabs on the ground cool and empty, and a night breeze blowing, slightly cold.
"Swish!" Just then, a sharp whooshing sound arose, like the roar of a malevolent ghost, extrely piercing!
From the depths of the alley, a silver light flashed, and an arrow as thick as an arm was shot out, with the strength to bring down everything in its wake!
The montum of this arrow was so imnse that it was not sothing an ordinary archer could shoot; typically, only a Siege Crossbow could fire such a projectile!
Huang Yi’s nerves were always tense, and at the sound of the noise, his two bodies reflexively blinked to the side!
The massive arrow grazed by the neck of his main body, the wind cutting painfully across the skin as if sliced by a knife. If he had been a fraction slower, the consequences of being hit by that arrow were unthinkable.
"Thud! Thud! Thud!" Though Huang Yi managed to dodge, the passersby and journalists who had followed him were not so lucky; the huge arrow pierced through the dense crowd, instantly claiming the lives of over a hundred bystanders!
"God of Slaughter, if you want to reach Central Plaza, you’ll have to get past first!" Right then, a faint voice ca from the end of the street.(To be continued.
