Chapter 1791: The Female Assassin at the Harmonized Dao Stage

"Hahaha, this was easier than I expected. I never thought a kid like you would actually come back willingly to die. How amusing."

The expert in the Hedao Realm, wearing a purple ghost-head mask, said coldly. However, Xu Yang's reply astonished everyone nearby.

"Stop trying to be mysterious in front of me. Do you really think wearing a mask and altering your voice can hide your true identity? Not only are you not a decrepit old man, but you're also a young, beautiful girl. To reach the Hedao Realm at such an age, it seems the Ancient Martial Arts Divine Path region is far more complex than I imagined. True powerhouses must all be concealing themselves under various identities."

Indeed, as Xu Yang finished speaking, the Hedao Realm expert wearing the purple ghost-head mask trembled for the first time.

For a well-trained, top-tier assassin warrior, the most terrifying thing is never encountering a stronger opponent, nor even death, but rather meeting someone who can effortlessly see through their true appearance.

This powerful Hedao Realm warrior couldn't even comprehend how Xu Yang had managed to do this, but his only thought was that this person had to die.

"Your existence has suddenly made me feel threatened. Therefore, I regret to say that today, only one of us will leave here alive."

The Hedao Realm expert with the purple ghost-head mask finally unleashed their full power. As a powerful surge of purple martial energy emanated from their body, all four assistants nearby launched their attacks simultaneously.

However, the targets of the assistants' attacks were the old 'living fossil,' while the most powerful Hedao Realm warrior focused their locked target solely on Xu Yang.

Xu Yang's face showed an extremely confident smile, and unusually, he took the initiative to attack his opponent.

Normally, Xu Yang rarely initiated an attack against his opponents, preferring to experience the full enjoyment of combat rather than simply defeating them in the easiest way. But this time, he changed his mind because he wanted to see the true face hidden beneath that mask.

He also wanted to use this method to subdue this mysterious assassin. Naturally, the opponent was not to be outdone; powerful martial arts techniques emerged one after another, and immense golden light emanated from around the Hedao Realm expert's body.

The sky was filled with various strange totems, which then enveloped Xu Yang.

This was the first time Xu Yang had seen such a unique martial arts technique in the Ancient Martial Arts Divine Path region, and he wasn't clear about its secondary effects. However, as the dense golden totem light points surrounded him, Xu Yang finally experienced its sensation.

It made his physical body and soul feel adrift, as if entering a personal dream space, causing all his five senses to become unreal.

Unfortunately, the opponent had truly chosen the wrong adversary this time. When such a powerful technique was used against Xu Yang, it seemed utterly trivial.

"Such a technique would surely have an unexpected effect on others, but I'm sorry, it's useless against me."

Xu Yang shook his head with a wry smile, then suddenly extended his right hand, instantly unleashing the powerful Kunlun Sacrifice technique. However, the Hedao Realm expert quickly evaded it by transforming into an illusion.

Xu Yang's technique instantly erupted upon the opponent's illusory form. Although the attack missed, it still forced the opponent to reveal their preferred combat style.

"As expected, assassins, your greatest pride lies in extreme speed. So, I will maximize the reduction of your movement speed. Let's see what other strengths you have to boast about."

As Xu Yang finished speaking, he gently waved his palm, directly summoning his main artifact, the Cold Spring.

A powerful ice-blue aura instantly enveloped the female Hedao Realm assassin, unleashing over a dozen sealing formations. When each formation gate combined, they released an extremely potent spatial suppression effect.

The seal, formed by the condensed ice-blue aura, left the opponent bewildered, as they found their feet completely frozen to the ground at some point, making it impossible to move even an inch.

"Damn it, what kind of unorthodox tricks are these? You truly are a troublesome opponent!"

Xu Yang tossed his Cold Spring main artifact into the sky. The ice-sealed sword energy it autonomously released continuously strengthened the freezing effect around the female assassin's feet, while his own body leisurely walked towards her.

"Do you feel the gap in power between us? If you do, then you should be able to calmly accept your fate today. I had no intention of simply eliminating you. Honestly, what interests me more is everything behind you."

For the first time, the female assassin felt such an overwhelming sense of helplessness and shock. On one hand, she was astonished by Xu Yang's terrifying power, and on the other, she feared the fate that awaited her.

For an assassin, exposing one's true appearance was tantamount to death. She had already cultivated to the Hedao Realm and was considered the strongest among the younger generation of her mysterious assassin organization, groomed to be its next leader.

Unfortunately, all of this came to an end today with her premature encounter with a terrifying opponent like Xu Yang.

Despite the close proximity, the female assassin was still unable to break free from the freezing power holding her feet. She could only watch as Xu Yang slowly raised his right hand, bringing the scorching heat from his palm towards her face.

At this critical juncture, the female assassin unhesitatingly chose to detonate the martial energy within her body. Even though she had reached the Hedao Realm, becoming one of the most powerful tiers of warriors in the world, and had entered the ranks of legendary warriors at such a young age, she still chose to sacrifice everything without hesitation to protect the secrets behind her. It was precisely this action that made Xu Yang even more interested in what lay behind her.

"Heh, you think I can seal your feet, but not your meridians? Trying to commit suicide in front of me is a very difficult thing to do."

After speaking, Xu Yang directly poked his finger onto her shoulder. A powerful icy aura instantly sealed all the energy within the female assassin's meridians.

This left her with no room to resist in his presence.

"Go ahead and try whatever other methods you have. An Hedao Realm assassin of your caliber should long ago have disdained using low-level escape techniques. Suicide is no longer possible, and relying on these weaklings around you is even more pointless. If you're willing to beg for mercy, I might consider letting you go."

Xu Yang's words provoked even greater anger from the opponent. "You're dreaming!"

"Oh, is that so? I personally enjoy a good challenge. Since you fancy yourself a tough nut to crack, how about I play something interesting with you?"
