Is this how you test me?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Can I even withstand such a test?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Han Zhan thought Feng Ya was overestimating him a bit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially since Feng Ya now exuded an innocent, startled-deer-like aura, a stark contrast to her previous flirtatious demeanor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The stark contrast unexpectedly made her even more attractive!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The saintly aura shattered, and bestial instincts surged forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Han Zhan was about to set aside his reservations and engage in battle, he sensed a faint killing intent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This intent was not only faint but also well-hidden. If not for Han Zhan’s brief moment of bestial instincts earlier, he might not have noticed it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This realization was like a splash of cold water over Han Zhan, waking him up completely!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a Close Combat Master, Han Zhan acted on his instincts, striking at the open space to his front right.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sudden action startled Feng Ya, who was sitting pitifully on the ground, but quickly a muffled grunt resounded from Han Zhan’s room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A vague, transparent figure suddenly fell down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Indeed, someone had sneaked into his room!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Han Zhan’s gaze sharpened, and he quickly lit a fire to illuminate the entire room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What he saw almost made his nosebleed erupt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Feng Ya was wearing minimal equipment, then this assassin wasn’t wearing any at all?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon discovery, the embarrassed assassin bit her lip, attempting to hide again. Her body began to turn transparent, but only halfway before she was forcibly brought back, spitting out blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Han Zhan’s punch earlier had been without mercy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Who are you?\" Feng Ya also noticed the woman lying next to her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By her appearance, anyone would think she was the main force trying to seduce Han Zhan tonight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This put enormous pressure on Feng Ya.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Turns out it’s because I’m not bold enough; if I were bolder, wouldn’t Brother Zhan have long been mine?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Just kill me, no need for nonsense!\" said the young woman on the ground, unflinchingly after her failed attempt to escape.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Han Zhan noticed that when she said this, there was a hint of urgency in her eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What are you afraid of?\" Han Zhan suddenly asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he spoke, he felt an intense heat from his abdomen, primal desires transforming into a terrifying demon, devouring his rationality.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If not for his indomitable will honed between life and death, he would have already drowned in those primal urges.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Han Zhan suddenly realized what the assassin feared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You’re afraid of what I might do to you because you poisoned my room to trigger primal urges.\" Only this explained why Han Zhan so easily succumbed to such overwhelming impulses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Someone like him, with a strong will, would normally resist these urges.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But upon seeing Feng Ya, his mind was suddenly flooded with vivid imaginations; this was not normal!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Listening to Han Zhan’s accusation, the young woman across bit her lip again, trembling quietly yet defiantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You can choose not to speak.\" Han Zhan stood up, approaching her step by step.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sure enough, as Han Zhan drew close, the woman’s body began to tremble slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was truly afraid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A fastidious female assassin, fearing defilement before death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From these clues, Han Zhan deduced some things.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your ability is stealth, but to be fully invisible, you must be unclothed, as clothes can’t become invisible, exposing your presence.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"When you activate stealth, your pale, full body fades, becoming transparent like rippling water.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You appeared after I dealt with Phoenix Perch Wood.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"All things considered, I guess you must be from Water Village?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Han Zhan’s words startled both Feng Ya and the young woman on the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if she hadn’t admitted her identity, her reaction had already betrayed her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sure enough, she was from Water Village.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why would the people of Water Village attempt to assassinate me? What grudges could we have?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If anything, our only connection is the third task – slaying the Evil Dragon!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So, you want to stop me from slaying the Evil Dragon,\" Han Zhan concluded, word by word.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, the young woman from Water Village became extremely agitated, disregarding her current state, and cursed Han Zhan angrily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Shut up! That’s not an Evil Dragon! It’s the Divine Dragon, the protector of our Water Village!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The High Priest already said, the Divine Dragon faces a calamity, a deadly one. The Divine Dragon has protected our Water Village for millennia, so it’s our turn to stand up and protect it!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such self-motivated actions were summed up by Han Zhan in two words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Foolishness.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Even if it protected you once, it has fallen, committing countless sins, transforming from a Divine Dragon to an Evil Dragon. Yet you continue to serve it, which I find extremely foolish.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I won’t kill you. I’ll hand you over to the village chiefs of Fengbai and Flame to let them interrogate you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Han Zhan gave Feng Ya a glance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Huh? So, after the interrogation, we can finally get down to business?\" Feng Ya, legs together, spoke coyly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Annoyed, Han Zhan tapped her to wake her up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This place is filled with what could be a seductive toxin left by the assassin. Get out of here quickly, bring some clothes for her, and notify Feng Pingcheng and Huo Lie to prepare to come over.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh, okay!\" Feng Ya, holding her mildly swollen head, snapped out of her fantasies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who would have thought she’d end up with swollen pride tonight, but it was her head that swelled. Sighing, she lamented silently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The emergence of a Water Village assassin wasn’t trivial.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feng Ya instinctively quickened her pace, rushing out of the room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, Han Zhan noticed faint gusts of air swirling beneath Feng Ya’s feet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His gaze sharpened, pondering thoughtfully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With Feng Ya gone, only Han Zhan and the female assassin remained, and tension filled the room once more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Frustrated, Han Zhan punched himself twice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He glared at her in frustration, \"Even if you wanted to assassinate me, couldn’t you have waited until later in the night? Coming right at the start, wasn’t this just a waste of time!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The female assassin from Water Village stared, bewildered: \"?\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1044,"2026-06-10T05:31:13.179Z",1,"novelbin.me","8eb87b04ee6fde8e704afd31f072e2be54662f64bc03e3e778594b643d7cc929","i-contracted-all-ancient-divine-artifacts-chapter-157","i-contracted-all-ancient-divine-artifacts-chapter-155",617,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-contracted-all-ancient-divine-artifacts-cover.jpg"]
