As the battle came to an end, everyone's attention was focused on Lin Ru. The prodigy of the Taiqing Sect had surprised everyone with her strength in this battle.
Perhaps it was the natural temperament of the Taiqing Sect, or Lin Ru's confidence in himself, but he was calm throughout the battle. Even when he took out the Yin-Yang Fan, it was only because he wanted to end the battle quickly, not because he was forced into a desperate situation. Although this choice exposed the Yin-Yang Fan, it also concealed his strength. At least for now, no one could be sure that Lin Ru would lose if he didn't use the Yin-Yang Fan.
Sometimes, exposing an immortal weapon would not attract too much covetousness. Instead, it would make most people afraid.
An immortal weapon like the Yin-Yang Fan had too many symbolic features. Although it would attract greedy cultivators, few would really dare to make a move on it. Moreover, the major forces would relatively restrain themselves, because once they snatched the Yin-Yang Fan, it was tantamount to declaring war on the First-class Cultivation Sect, the Three Pure Daoist Sect.
In addition, the Yin-Yang Fan was an immortal weapon left behind by a Taoist Immortal after his ascension. In order to exert its strongest power, it naturally needed corresponding incantations. In other people's hands, its power would decrease a lot. Just like Hayashikawa's Five Spirit Feather Fan, it needed the perfect combination of the five elements and the Nine Rotation Pill Splitting Codex to exert its strongest power.
Therefore, most people would not have any thoughts about this immortal weapon. Lin Ru also knew this, so he dared to take out the Yin-Yang Fan at this time.
After a little rest, everyone went straight to the third layer of the coffin.
They were no longer as afraid of the Black Silk Armored Soldiers as before, especially when Lin Ru and Hun had exposed their strength. Everyone began to attack the Black Silk Armored Soldiers on a large scale, no longer as cautious as before.
Hayashikawa was no longer stingy. Together with Lin Ru, he wielded the Five Spirits Feather Fan and the Yin-Yang Fan respectively. They swept the Black Silk Armoured Soldiers madly, allowing them to advance several times faster. However, something unexpected happened. Due to the excessive number of Black Silk Armoured Soldiers, even with the assistance of two immortal artifacts, some managed to slip through. Additionally, the arrows that were fired at them were difficult to defend against. As a result, three of them died and dozens of others were wounded.
Very quickly, the third coffin appeared in front of everyone. As usual, White Zetsu's doppelganger went to check it out. But unlike the first two coffins, White Zetsu's doppelganger was quickly killed after entering the third hall. He didn't even see who had killed him. He didn't even know how it had been done. All he saw was a dagger.
"Looks like it's obvious who needs to break this coffin!"
After White Zetsu explained the situation, everyone's eyes fell on Ying Huo. Obviously, there was someone in the hall who was very good at assassination.
Among the Children of the Ten Immortal Bones, only one was good at assassination. That was Ying Huo.
"Let's go in and have a look!" Ying Huo didn't say much. If she was really needed, she would naturally do it.
When it came to assassination, she was never afraid of anyone.
Soon, everyone entered the hall. There was no light here, only pure darkness. But unlike absolute darkness, the darkness here could be seen through, and they could also use flames and other means to illuminate it.
Buzz!
A white light shone from Southern Dipper, illuminating the nearby area. The spiritual power of the light attribute made the surrounding darkness recede layer by layer. However, he didn't explode the light to the extreme. Instead, he looked at Ying Huo.
Having worked with Northern Dipper for a long time, Southern Dipper knew that assassins liked darkness. But absolute darkness was not their favorite. What they liked most was the combination of light and darkness. It was easy to create illusions, and it was more convenient for them to act.
"Do you need me to illuminate all the areas?" Southern Dipper asked.
As the one who broke this coffin, Southern Dipper had to respect Ying Huo's opinion.
"No, it's best this way!" Ying Huo shook her head. The Fairy Bone Jade Pendant in her hand emitted layers of black light, which shrouded the surroundings. This also meant that she really needed to break this coffin.
"Wait for me here!" After saying that, Ying Huo turned around and walked into the darkness. Soon, she disappeared without a trace.
"I don't know if she can complete the task. This dark environment is actually more suitable for me to fight. Unfortunately, I'm not the Child of the Fairy Bone!" Northern Dipper curled his lips and said.
"Then you go and help her!" Southern Dipper said softly.
"Uh … forget it. I don't want to help such an arrogant person …" Northern Dipper shook his head. In fact, he knew that even if the environment here was suitable for him to fight, without the help of the Fairy Bone Jade Pendant, it was impossible for him to kill an assassin at the peak of the Form Synthesis Stage. The chances of him being killed by the assassin were very high.
The surroundings fell into silence. Everyone was carefully guarding the surroundings in case the guardian of the third layer suddenly attacked them.
A battle between assassins was like this. Most of the time, they were dormant, looking for an opportunity to kill with one blow. They would not fight for half a day like other cultivators. It was more a competition of patience and skills.
30 minutes passed quickly. No battle broke out in the third layer of the main hall. Not even a sound was heard.
"Can you sense their situation?" Hayashikawa asked Bu Lian Shi through voice transmission.
"I can sense their location. Do you want me to tell you the location of the assassin?" Bu Lian Shi said.
"Tell me first!" Hayashikawa said after a moment of silence.
Hayashikawa did not know whether this kind of help was good or bad. After all, this was a battle between the Child of the Fairy Bone. It was impolite for others to interfere. It was more like a form of distrust.
However, 30 minutes had passed. Hayashikawa really did not have much time to wait. Otherwise, when the Crown Prince's skeleton refined the Fairy Bone, they would lose everything.
Bu Lian Shi immediately told Hayashikawa what he had sensed.
Just as Hayashikawa was about to send the assassin's location to Ying Huo through voice transmission, a battle broke out. In just a flash, the main hall returned to silence.
The next moment, light appeared. The passage to the fourth layer of the coffin opened directly. At this time, Ying Huo walked back.
Her face was a little pale. There was a deep wound on her right arm. Blood covered her entire arm. However, it did not seem to be life-threatening. In fact, it was healing quickly.
"Let's go!" Ying Huo said simply when she saw everyone.
No one knew how she attacked or how she fought. Everything was over in the blink of an eye.
This was an assassin!
