Chapter 221: Chapter 217: Together in Life and Death
"If he doesn’t have the ti, then we’ll create ti for him. Notify Numbers 2, 4, 5, 6, 7, 9, 10 imdiately to take control of their respective powers and delay the annual ceremony as much as possible. The main thods are as follows: First, create massive traffic congestion within the entire city of Los Angeles, making it impossible for the finalists to arrive at the award ceremony on ti and forcing a delay in the ceremony; second, cause a paralysis in Los Angeles’s power system, bringing the city to a standstill and disrupting the live television broadcast... Rember, no bloodshed should occur, our only aim is to delay ti."
"Yes! I’ll notify them imdiately!"
...
In the blink of an eye, five hours had passed. At the Desolate Sands, it was the dead of night, while in distant Los Angeles, a new day was beginning—it was the last day of the annual ceremony and the day most anticipated globally. The top five awards of the ceremony were to be presented in Los Angeles that evening, and countless people were waiting in anticipation!
However, the people of Los Angeles soon discovered that perhaps because today was the most important day of the annual ceremony, the entire city had poured out, resulting in extrely congested traffic. A traffic jam so rare in years was actually happening. So of the award finalists who were staying in hotels were stuck on the road, unable to reach the venue of the award ceremony on ti.
Moreover, power outages started occurring throughout the city. No one knew the exact reason, but the related power companies in Los Angeles were actively working on repairs.
...
In The Second World, Huang Yi and his team were still fighting hard. They were surrounded by an endless ocean of skeletons, with no end in sight. He had flown into Dragon City without virtually any fighting, but now, he was trudging on foot, fighting as he went, with his speed slowed to an extre.
However, Feng Zhi and his group had not caught up, presumably having been given a hard ti by those Half-Beastn.
Gradually, a glimr of dawn appeared in the sky over Desolate Sands, but the Skeleton Ocean still stretched boundlessly.
At this point, the team had dropped an average of two levels each, and tens of thousands of players had already experienced Reincarnation, completely departing from the team and ending up in so corner of so continent. However, Huang Yi didn’t lose a single level; he was at the forefront, having killed the most skeletons. His Sin Value had been drastically reduced, the bloody aura around him significantly lighter.
Now, the Skeleton Army was much easier to kill. They were no longer in the core area of the Skeleton Ocean, with far fewer Skeleton Bosses, and the team’s death rate had significantly decreased. But at this mont, the team mbers were visibly exhausted, their hands holding weapons trembling uncontrollably.
However, Guifu Heilang (Ghost Axe Black Wolf) still hadn’t appeared, and every second that passed, Huang Yi grew more anxious, knowing with each passing second the likelihood of General Black Wolf’s arrival increased.
...
The sun had fully risen, and the golden morning sun shone over the endless Skeleton Ocean. The sounds of battle from six hundred thousand people reached the skies, as they still hadn’t broken out of the Skeleton Ocean. Huang Yi’s Sin Value had been completely cleansed, the bloody glow around him entirely gone.
He had been online for over 20 consecutive hours, maintaining a high level of tension, fighting while coordinating the team, expending a trendous amount of ntal energy. Yet he felt no fatigue, carrying Qin Shiyu’s corpse on his back, walking step by step towards the outside world, carving a bloody path forward.
"Instakill, a large group of people has suddenly appeared behind us. It’s Feng Zhi’s team; following the path we broke through, they will soon break out too and are likely to turn against us," Fu Yizhi reported alarming news to Huang Yi.
"I’ll go drive them back," Huang Yi said, turning to rush towards Feng Zhi and his group.
"Instakill, co et your doom!" Just then, a commanding voice suddenly rang out in front, full of overwhelming montum, like the thunder of ten thousand horses, the re sound enough to drain the will to fight!
Huang Yi’s steps halted abruptly; that voice was unmistakably Guifu Heilang (Ghost Axe Black Wolf), the one he had been waiting for so long!
It had finally arrived!
Next, Huang Yi was about to face an unprecedented calamity!
Huang Yi glanced at the deputy team leader of Demon Sect Yueguo and urgently commanded, "Now that Guifu Heilang (Ghost Axe Black Wolf) has arrived, Demon Sect Yueguo, you take command of the team. I’ll lure him away while you all continue to push forward."
Demon Sect Yueguo looked at Huang Yi with a complicated expression, shook his head firmly, and said, "No, Instakill brother, you alone will definitely not be able to defeat General Black Wolf. Let us fight alongside you! Without you, we would have died long ago, and wouldn’t have survived until now."
"Yeah! Instakill God, we want to fight with you!"
"Instakill, we will live and die with you!"
All the mbers of the team began to shout one after another, ready to face this toughest challenge together with Huang Yi. At that mont, they had forgotten about life and death, even the female gars showing a resolute determination.
This rallied the several hundred thousand team mbers together like never before, not allowing Huang Yi to leave.
Huang Yi pursed his lips, raising his voice: "Thank you all for valuing our bond so highly. However, Guifu Heilang (Ghost Axe Black Wolf) is a Holy Domain Rank powerhouse. I want to test its strength. If it can be killed with the strength of the team, then we shall fight it."
"Everyone, charge and hold them off! Instakill is dood!" At that mont, a loud bellow ca from behind. Feng Zhi and his three hundred thousand people also finally appeared at this most dangerous mont, like a swarm of lingering souls, not dissipating for a long ti.
Huang Yi turned to look back; Feng Zhi and his team were trailing far behind, rapidly closing the distance, the dust raised by their thirty thousand people obscuring the sky, seemingly endless.
anwhile, on the other side, a colossal figure the size of a small hill charged through the endless Skeleton Ocean. With each step it took, the ground shook slightly, and countless skeleton soldiers were crushed beneath its feet!
This towering figure bore the head of a wolf, with sharp fangs and a savage mien, wielding two enormous black axes that reflected a chilling light under the sun. A single swing could probably carve a ravine in the earth itself! It was none other than Ghost Axe Black Wolf, one of the three Great Generals under the Sand Thief King.
Now, Huang Yi had reached the most critical mont. Facing Ghost Axe Black Wolf alone was already impossible. The creature was a Holy Domain Rank expert above level 100, and Huang Yi feared that even trying to attack it wouldn’t even dent its defenses.
"Everyone, help
protect her, I’ll be right back!" Knowing the urgency of the situation, Huang Yi imdiately called out to his team. Setting down Qin Shiyu, whom he’d been carrying all day, he dashed out of the crowd and alone into the Skeleton Ocean!
Ghost Axe Black Wolf fixed its gaze solely on him and changed direction to pursue. The two of them quickly vanished from the sight of the onlookers, temporarily ensuring the safety of the entire team.
Seeing that he had successfully drawn Ghost Axe Black Wolf’s full attention, Huang Yi imdiately turned around and dashed towards the throng of 300,000 people in Feng Zhi’s team, deciding to lead the disaster towards them.
"Pursuit!" Just as Ghost Axe Black Wolf was about to catch up, Huang Yi dashed forward five tis in succession. Like a phantom, he plunged into the dense mass of 300,000 people in Feng Zhi’s team and vanished without a trace.
He then rapidly transford into his Half-Beastn form, hiding among the two hundred thousand Half-Beastn. His appearance was almost identical to theirs, indistinguishable from the masses.
"Huh? Where did he go?" Ghost Axe Black Wolf only saw a blur as Huang Yi rushed into the midst of over two hundred thousand Half-Beastn and disappeared completely. Looking out over the sea of creatures, it couldn’t tell where Huang Yi had gone.
The next mont, Ghost Axe Black Wolf simply charged into Feng Zhi’s team, embarking on a massacre!
Its mountainous stature barged in, and with each step, dozens of people were squashed into at patties, not even having a chance to resist.
The crowd scattered in all directions, screaming as they ran, and the scene instantly turned into utter chaos.
"Damn it!" Seeing this, Feng Zhi was furious and about to issue a command to his forces.
"Boom!" Just then, his body was blasted apart by a hamr strike, turning into fragnts scattered across the sky, leaving not even a corpse behind.
Huang Yi, using his Tracking Scent, had located him again and killed him in an instant!
After Feng Zhi’s death, the whole team was headless. Although a deputy quickly took over the command, in such a dire situation, hardly anyone was really listening to orders. Most were just a panicked mob, each fleeing for their lives at the first sign of trouble.
Hidden within the crowd, Huang Yi found temporary safety.
...
At that mont, the annual grand ceremony in Los Angeles was in full swing.
Because of extrely unusual disruptions in transportation and electricity, the award ceremony that day was unable to begin on ti and was delayed by about two hours. As a result, Los Angeles faced trendous international pressure. The mayor of Los Angeles had apologized and announced a thorough investigation into the cause.
During the award ceremony, one after another, awards were being handed out, and recipients ascended the stage, delivering their acceptance speeches filled with excitent. People from all over the world were watching the live broadcast, and the grand climax of the annual ceremony—the announcent of the five top-level awards—was approaching.
Just then, the secret call between Shanghai, China, and Los Angeles, USA, was reconnected.
"Mr. Zhuge, Number One has encountered an obstruction by Ghost Axe Black Wolf, and the situation is perilously critical!"
"If not for this threat, how much longer would it take them to break through at their planned speed?"
"About four and a half hours!"
"How much longer until the Best Newcor Award is to be presented on the award ceremony schedule?"
"In about four hours!"
"So, you’re saying, even without Ghost Axe Black Wolf, they still won’t be able to break through before the Best Newcor Award, correct?"
"Yes, there’s too little ti left!"
"Then we must fight for more ti for Number One once again. Inform those at the award ceremony to find ways to delay further. If necessary, so identities can be revealed!"
"Understood!" (To be continued. If you enjoy this work, please co to Starting Point (qidian) to cast your Recomndation Tickets and Monthly Tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please visit m.qidian to continue reading.)
