It could be said that what Long Haochen and his group fear the most right now are assassins because they don’t have a true priest who can cast True Sight, so they naturally can’t find the assassins’ presence. Without Haoyue, they have no way to see through the assassins’ invisibility.

Long Haochen hurriedly released a Holy Light Barrier, enveloping all his companions inside.

After entering this place for the first time, he vaguely understood that the trials here wouldn’t harm his life, but it was hard to say whether his companions would have the same privilege. Long Haochen thought the next trial might be an increase in the number of skeletons, but who knew it would be assassins.

“Protect Lin Xin and Ying’er,” Long Haochen shouted, and at the same time, the Holy Light Barrier he released disappeared as easily as a punctured balloon.

Long Haochen’s team has many strengths, but it also has weaknesses. The lack of a true priest is one, and the other is the lack of strong enough area-of-effect attacks. Lin Xin, the mage, can only be used for defense!

A layer of red light rippled from the staff in Lin Xin’s hand, and he actually cast four consecutive Elemental Fire Shields to protect himself and Chen Ying’er. Two muffled groans sounded in succession, and Sima Xian and Han Yu were also attacked one after another.

Sima Xian was slightly better off, as his newly exchanged armor was very tough, but Han Yu was not so lucky. His armor was still the original one, barely considered spirit-level. It was instantly pierced by the invisible assassin, and blood spurted from his chest. This attack was extremely sharp, and Han Yu swayed and almost fell over with a groan. Fortunately, the power of the Soul Chain was released, and everyone shared the power of this attack for him.

Of course, everyone wouldn’t sit idly by and wait for death, so they hurriedly released skills into the air back-to-back, intending to force the enemy away. But the two invisible assassins disappeared once again.

“Such strong spiritual power, concentrated at one point,” Han Yu said with a somewhat hoarse voice. The sharp spiritual power was like a steel needle drilling around inside his body. Even with the life-sharing of the Soul Chain to help him bear it, the pain he suffered was still very intense. His face was pale, and his forehead was covered in cold sweat.

What to do? Everyone had these three words in their hearts at this moment. They simply couldn’t contend with these possibly two assassins. Coming without a shadow, leaving without a trace. Their dodging ability was also super strong. Even Long Haochen’s timely Demon-Slaying Flash couldn’t capture their bodies. The only explanation was that these two assassins were also at the sixth rank or higher.

Just as Long Haochen was about to order a retreat, suddenly, a black figure rushed over from behind.

With a soft “ding” sound, the black figure appeared beside Long Haochen. Immediately afterward, a cloud of white mist was sprinkled from the black figure’s hand, and another figure appeared in the previously empty space in front of them. This figure seemed to have no substantial body, somewhat like the wraiths outside, but in a human shape.

How could Long Haochen miss such a good opportunity? With a flash of white light, the Holy Attraction Spiritual Furnace had successfully connected him with his opponent. At the same time, the furnace’s traction ability activated, directly pulling the opponent toward him.

The suddenly appearing black figure flashed again, this time appearing in front of Han Yu. Again, with a “ding” sound and a cloud of white mist sprinkled, the other assassin’s figure also appeared.

The black figure that appeared in time was naturally Caier.

While cultivating at the entrance earlier, she suddenly sensed the crisis here and immediately took timely action.

Although she has lost her four senses, Caier’s cultivation since childhood has been in a cycle of losing her six senses. Therefore, her senses of feeling and touch are extremely sensitive. Without the four senses, she has enhanced these two senses even more, and she blocked the attacks of the two assassins at the critical moment.

Although Long Haochen has always been the leader of the team and all the glory has been on him, how could a Reincarnation Saint Daughter with the same level of talent as him lack wisdom? Willing to hide her light behind Long Haochen doesn’t mean that Caier isn’t smart.

Feeling what her companions were experiencing, she immediately guessed what kind of enemy her companions were encountering. The two clouds of white mist were the assassin’s anti-assassin revealing powder, which is actually a kind of white powder specially used to break the assassin’s invisibility. It came in handy at this moment.

Long Haochen had one pinned down, and as soon as this second assassin appeared, everyone else’s attacks naturally arrived.

Han Yu, feeling unwell from the attack he had just received, subconsciously took a step back and blocked his shield in front of him. Wang Yuanyuan’s Titan Shield stopped with an ear-piercing whistling sound, and Sima Xian’s Orb of Great Light followed.

This time, they were finally able to clearly see the assassin’s movements. Faced with the two’s pincer attack, the assassin’s body suddenly retreated like lightning. Its movements were very erratic, as if its body had no weight at all, and it had swung away completely before Wang Yuanyuan and Sima Xian’s attacks could reach it. Its body even made a very natural turn in the air and pounced toward Caier.

The attack can’t keep up with the speed of evasion? What’s going on?

The wraith assassin that appeared in the Eternal Tower was obviously not so easy to deal with. Unfortunately, other people’s attacks might not work, but don’t forget that there’s still Long Haochen.

Wraiths do have no weight and have strong immunity to physical attacks. However, faced with the traction of the Holy Attraction Spiritual Furnace, they would be most restricted. The lack of physical attack ability has also become their biggest weakness.

The wraith pinned down by Long Haochen was forcibly pulled toward Long Haochen with a scream. Helpless, it could only launch an attack on Long Haochen. Its hands were like two sharp thorns, bursting out dozens of light spots to envelop Long Haochen’s body. But what awaited it was only Long Haochen’s powerful slash.

Blue Rain, Light’s Hibiscus, and the Shura Slash burst out.

With a piercing screech, the Shura Slash arrived as expected. The intense light element formed a giant blade in the air. This was not just a physical attack, but a magic and martial arts strike that fused Blue Rain, Light’s Hibiscus, and the light element.

Without any suspense, the wraith assassin was instantly cut in half, and the powerful liquid spiritual power directly shattered its body.

And Long Haochen’s second Holy Attraction Spiritual Furnace release was completed at this time, just as the other wraith assassin was pouncing toward Caier.

With its body forcibly pulled, what this wraith assassin faced next was Long Haochen’s Sun Flare Slash, which was split by Blue Rain and Light’s Hibiscus.

The facts proved that the Shura Slash was superfluous. Even the combo of the Sun Flare Slash and Demon-Slaying Flash could not be withstood by this kind of wraith assassin. It directly turned into nothingness in front of Long Haochen.

Of course, the deaths of the two wraith assassins also brought Long Haochen two new balls of white light. However, that kind of golden light ball still did not appear.

Although they had already solved the two wraith assassins, everyone had a feeling of cold sweat dripping down their backs. Especially Han Yu. It took him a long time to dissipate the sharp spiritual power that had invaded his body. And during this process, the golden light of the Soul Chain’s life-sharing had never disappeared from the seven of them. That is to say, everyone had been helping him bear the continuous damage from that sharp energy.

Han Yu said with lingering fear: “If it weren’t for the Soul Chain, I’m afraid I would have lost my combat ability with that attack just now. If I had been hit again, I would have been killed without a doubt. What a powerful attack.”

Long Haochen nodded, “This kind of wraith assassin, like the previous skeletons, has powerful attacks and insufficient defense. The biggest characteristic of the wraith assassin should be their speed. If there is no traction from the Holy Attraction Spiritual Furnace, I’m afraid it will be even more difficult.”

Sima Xian touched his bald head, “How about I try to learn True Sight hard in the future?”

Everyone looked at him with strange gazes. Lin Xin patted him on the back and said, “Hey, if you could learn it, would you have waited until now? Did you just realize the practicality of True Sight today?”

Sima Xian said with a bitter face: “It’s not my fault that I can’t learn it, it’s talent, it’s talent.”

Long Haochen looked at his companions and said, “Do we still want to continue forward?”

The expressions on everyone’s faces changed a little. Obviously, if it weren’t for Long Haochen and Caier, the five of them would have died without a doubt against those two wraith assassins just now. No suspense. This is only the second trial. And they still can’t see what the end of the first floor of the Eternal Tower is. Everyone felt a little discouraged.

“Just like this, everyone has lost confidence? Then you better not go to the Illusionary Shrine.” Long Haochen said in a deep voice: “Here, at least we can control ourselves to only face one trial, and we can still retreat. But, the dangers we have to face in the Illusionary Shrine are unknown. We can’t always face enemies weaker than ourselves. Only by facing difficulties can we become true powerhouses.”

“Continue. Boss. The worst that can happen is to get hit a few times, with the Soul Chain, what’s there to be afraid of?” Sima Xian once again raised his huge Orb of Great Light again.

The eyes of the others also became firm again. As for Caier, she had returned to Long Haochen’s side at this time. She couldn’t hear what her companions were saying, but her actions had already explained her thoughts. She hugged Long Haochen’s neck and wrapped her legs around his waist. This is a real rider-assassin unity… Long Haochen took a deep breath and said, “Since the assessment of the first floor are all sixth-rank enemies, then what we will face next is likely to be changes in the types and numbers of undead creatures. The strength of the individuals will not increase any more, don’t have any burdens in your hearts. Sima is right, we have Soul Chain life-sharing, what is there to be afraid of? Continue forward.”

While speaking, he led his companions forward three more steps, no reaction, then three more steps.

The change suddenly appeared. Two figures appeared silently not far away. Still skeletons, but different from the skeletons they encountered at first, because they have mounts.
