Shrouding the Heavens: Starting by joining the Holy Land of Yao Guang

Chapter 186 A little attack
The leaders of Tianchuan Mountain and Wufeng Valley flickered and instantly merged into the void.

As assassins, they have a very stable mindset and can handle any situation calmly, making the right choice in the first instance.

But it was no use. If they were beings of the same realm, they might be able to handle it with ease, but at this moment, they were facing a Dao-Slaying King.

"boom!"

The order of heaven and earth reappeared, this void collapsed, and two figures fell out, spitting out blood.

Fang Xiu, dressed in white, with deep eyes and sword-like eyebrows, looked like a king, with unparalleled elegance.

Facing two powerful assassins, his response was incredibly simple: he simply pressed down with one palm, like an ancient divine mountain, which even the void could not withstand.

"Boom!"

Tianchuan Mountain collapsed. The two powerful assassins fought back with all their might, but it was all in vain. They were knocked down by a single palm strike, and their bones were broken.

"Cough cough!" The two assassins coughed up blood, realizing the terror of the person in front of them. They were simply no match for him, and even escaping was a pipe dream.

Moreover, the strength of a person lies in surprise and secrecy. Now that someone has suddenly appeared in his face, his advantage has vanished, and his strength has been reduced by three-tenths.

The two exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with determination.

In the human world, if one attacks and misses, and cannot escape, one will commit suicide.

The restrictions in their minds are both a way to protect secrets and a poison sac hidden in their teeth.

However, Fang Xiu's orders were to capture them alive, and he was familiar with the ways of the world, so he wouldn't give them a chance now.

"boom!"

With divine power as vast as the sea, capable of covering the sky with a single hand, countless Dao traces danced in the air, and a divine talisman appeared in the sky, instantly freezing the two of them in place.

Divine chains shot out from the divine talisman, binding the two of them.

This is a powerful sealing technique that can immobilize not only the physical body but also the divine sense.

No matter how powerful the restrictions in the mortal world are, they still require divine thought to activate. Now that their divine thoughts are frozen, both assassins can't help but feel a sense of despair.

Now, even suicide is out of the question...

"boom!"

The void roared as a group of powerful beings from the Yao Guang realm traversed the void and descended upon this place.

A great battle was about to break out. Endless blood energy permeated Tianchuan Mountain, and assassins from the mortal world were slaughtered by the powerful Yao Guang warriors.

Without secrecy and surprise, assassins in the human world are really nothing special. They may still be very strong against rogue cultivators, but they have little power to fight back against organized groups of Yao Guang experts.

Assassins excel at meticulous planning and single assassinations; in terms of group combat ability, they are no match for ordinary cultivators.

After the great battle, the Tianchuan Mountains were completely destroyed, leaving only a few dozen broken mountains, a scene of utter devastation, as if they had suffered a catastrophic disaster.

"Notify the others to begin the roundup. Also, send a group to the West Beach River," Fang Xiu ordered.

As the King of the Dao, he was naturally the commander-in-chief of this battle.

After bowing, the powerful Yao Guang expert beside him began to make arrangements.

Fang Xiu surveyed the surroundings and, finding no survivors, flicked his sleeve, capturing two Immortal Level 2 assassins and several Immortal Level 1 assassins. He then traversed the void and departed.

On this day, slaughter took place in more than a dozen hidden places in the Eastern Wilderness, with blood and bones flying everywhere.

Everyone thought that Yao Guang Holy Land couldn't do anything to the mortal world, but little did they know that the reason Yao Guang hadn't taken action these past few days was actually because they were probing the mortal world's base.

In just a few days, they found nearly a dozen camps. Although none of them were important locations, it was still a blow to the world.

After all, the establishment of each base required a lot of effort and time from the human world.

Moreover, losing both the land and the people means losing both. Compared to the base, the death of this assassin is the real blow to the world.

There were thousands of assassins, including powerful and half-powerful beings. Each of these assassins had crawled out of piles of corpses.

It takes a great deal of effort in the world to train an elite assassin, but this time, over a thousand have perished.

Such a massive collision could not be kept secret from passersby. News of the destruction of more than a dozen of Yao Guang Holy Land's settlements overnight spread, causing widespread shock and horror.

After learning the whole story, everyone gasped in shock, stunned by the ruthless methods employed by the Yao Guang Holy Land.

It turns out that they didn't refute it, but rather followed the clues and then acted swiftly and decisively, wiping out all eighteen locations in the world overnight.

Inside the Yaoguang Hall, Fang Xiu waved his hand and threw out more than a dozen assassins from his sleeve.

After leaving Tianchuan Mountain, he went to another mortal settlement, where he captured a powerful being and several half-step powerful beings before finally arriving at the Divine City.

Although Li Yao said only a few would be enough, he was eager to improve and deliberately caught more.

"Holy Lord, the assassins from the mortal realm you ordered have been captured."

After Fang Xiu finished speaking, he couldn't help but glance at the Chaos Soil, feeling utterly shocked.

Just how terrifying is our Holy Lord now!

Weiwei might not recognize it, but Fang Xiu, as a Dao-Slaying King, could see the laws within the emerald divine lightning.

This is not some rare and precious treasure, but a divine technique!
Li Yao stood up, walked towards a half-step Great Power assassin, reached out and pressed his palm against the assassin's forehead, his divine sense surging, wanting to search the soul and seize the spirit.

But the next moment, the assassin's eyes widened, then his pupils suddenly dilated, and his consciousness was shattered by a restriction.

It was an extremely profound rune, each line containing endless mysteries.

"Whoosh!" The Heavenly Book flipped through the pages, recording everything Li Yao saw. A moment later, a rune appeared on the page.

Fang Xiu was somewhat puzzled and did not understand Li Yao's actions. Everyone knew that the restrictions in the sea of ​​consciousness of assassins in the human world were extremely strong and impossible to break.

Otherwise, the world would have been destroyed a thousand times over.

However, although he didn't understand what his Holy Master wanted to do, Fang Xiu didn't say anything and just stood there quietly.

Li Yao closed his eyes and began to comprehend the restrictions of the human world.

With his current level of skill, he can learn many things incredibly quickly, even by self-study.

Just like Zhang Wuji who mastered the Qiankun Great Shift, he could understand the principles behind any martial art, even just by looking at it.

That's exactly how he is now; his grasp of the laws of the Great Dao is truly profound.

Once you understand one method, you understand all methods. Even without a divine book, you can easily master some simple ones.

The restrictions are very mysterious; every line and pattern is incredibly complex and profound.

Human beings have existed in this world for countless millennia, and in this long period of time, there must have been amazing individuals who emerged.

They improved this restriction generation after generation, constantly innovating and perfecting it.

After much contemplation, Li Yao finally gained some understanding of it. He opened his eyes and, like the Grim Reaper, appeared before another half-step powerful assassin.

Anyway, Fang Xiu has captured so many assassins that he can experiment slowly. If he can master this restriction without having to comprehend it through the Creation Domain, that would be excellent.

After all, each time he gained insight, he had to spend a long time digesting and comprehending it.

As for the art of restrictions, he didn't value it much, or rather, even if he did, he wouldn't be studying it now.

Improving his cultivation level is his top priority right now; everything else is a waste of time.

After becoming emperor, he had plenty of time to slowly learn all the laws.

"what……"

The assassin roared in agony as the restrictions in his mind were triggered, attempting to shatter his consciousness. However, another force calmed the restrictions, preventing them from being fully unleashed.

But in the end, the assassin still died.

"I still need to continue to comprehend it; I'm far from breaking through it," Li Yao muttered to himself, closing his eyes again to deduce the restriction.

Fang Xiu's pupils widened as he stared at Li Yao's figure, as if he were looking at a demon.

"No, no, this... in just this short time, he has already comprehended the restrictions of the mortal world?" Fang Xiu was shocked.

Although the assassin eventually died, the restriction was not destroyed instantly, but was blocked for a moment, which means that the restriction was interfered with!

But how is that possible? Can you reverse the restriction just by looking at it once?
Hmm... given our Holy Lord's talent, it's possible, but isn't this a bit too fast?

How long does it take!
The assassins in the world were also stunned, deeply shocked.

Throughout history, the restrictions on humankind have never been broken. Could it be that today, this myth will be shattered?
Fifteen minutes later, Li Yao opened his eyes again and found himself in front of an assassin.

Fear, awe...

This expression, which shouldn't have appeared on the assassin's face, was now truly there.

Witnessing what had just happened, even an assassin was shocked. Although he still didn't believe that the other party could break the restriction in his mind, what if they could?
"Pfft..."

Four breaths later, the assassin's consciousness was shattered, and he collapsed to the ground, his eyes losing their light.

Li Yao browsed through the locations in his mind, then turned to look at Fang Xiu: "Among the locations of this suppression camp, are the Moyun Mountains, Biyou Pool, and Tongtian Canal included?"

Fang Xiu was utterly shocked and speechless for a moment. After a while, he finally spoke: "The Tongtian Canal has it, but the other two places don't."

The assassins were dumbfounded. The barrier had indeed been broken. Although the information they had was incomplete, they had still managed to locate two of their hideouts.

Could there really be such a monstrous talent in this world? A mere second-level Immortal Realm cultivator, yet he was able to break through the restrictions meticulously researched and left behind by a group of Killing Saints?!
"It's still a little short; it can't be completely cracked." Li Yao shook his head helplessly.

The restriction still broke out, causing chaos in the assassin's mind, allowing him to only discover scattered fragments of memories.

This time it was just good luck; if all the locations discovered were already known outposts, it would have been completely useless.

Li Yao continued to comprehend the restrictions, and after a quarter of an hour, he got up again.

Next, several more assassins had their consciousness shattered, and they gained access to two undiscovered outposts.

Li Yao studied and practiced simultaneously, rapidly improving his mastery of the restrictions.

It's fortunate that Fang Xiu arrested so many people; otherwise, there really wouldn't have been so many assassins for him to wreak havoc.

Finally, when only one assassin remained, the restriction was broken.

With his powerful divine sense probing into the other's sea of ​​consciousness, Li Yao recklessly browsed through the other's memories.

The assassin's eyes were glazed over, and he kept rolling his eyes. After a moment, the light in his eyes finally disappeared completely.

Li Yao held a ball of light in his hand, his divine sense fluctuating wildly. He tossed it to Fang Xiu.

"All the outposts in my memory are here. We should wipe them all out in one fell swoop, and capture the experts alive if possible. This memory certainly doesn't contain all the outposts."

Fang Xiu received the divine thought in a daze, his heart churning with turmoil.

The restrictions on the sea of ​​consciousness in the human world have been broken!
