That person quickly turned around when they heard that sound and they saw Lin Fan and Angela standing there by the door.

That person had hesitated when they heard this voice, which had stopped the dagger, but they quickly overcame their shock. With only a single second of hesitation which had paused the dagger temporarily, the dagger then began to fall again right at Yan Huo\'s heart.

But the moment it was about to pierce Yan Huo\'s chest and stab the heart, it was stopped once again. There was only a single inch between the dagger and Yan Huo\'s chest.

The only thing that was different was that there was a layer of wind that was holding up the dagger and the hand holding it. No matter how hard that person tried to stab down, the dagger wouldn\'t move a single inch.

Lin Fan wasted no time and immediately punched out at that person.

That person knew that this was a bad situation for them, so they released their dagger to dodge to the side. Even with how fast they reacted and moved, Lin Fan\'s attack still grazed them, knocking off the mask on their face, revealing a familiar looking face.

It was the librarian looking girl whose name was Yin Zi.

The force of the punch that moved past her was strong enough that it pushed her against the wall, knocking the wind out of her. However, she knew that she couldn\'t stop at all.

She didn\'t know how Lin Fan had found her since she had used all her sneaking abilities, but she knew she couldn\'t stop here.

Yin Zi looked completely different from normal, she was wearing dark clothes that perfectly outlined her figure, with parts of her that popped out in all the right places.

Yin Zi was someone who came from a family of assassins, so normally she dressed in that unassuming manner to blend in as much as possible. However, now that she was on an assassination job, of course she would be wearing her uniform which made her figure pop since using her charm was also a valid method of assassination.

She was like a beautiful rose in the night now that she no longer had the librarian braids and thick framed glasses. With her hair down and without those glasses covering up her eyes, she had a charm that could move any man, that is except for Lin Fan.

If Lin Fan even thought about it, he knew that a certain person beside him would explode immediately.

But as someone who came from a family of assassins, naturally she also had her way of sneaking around.

Quickly catching her breath, before Lin Fan or Angela could release another follow up attack, the space in front of her suddenly flickered before she disappeared.

Lin Fan knit his brows when he saw this, but he wasn\'t worried at all since he had a way to track her still.

The sound inside the armoured vehicle was of course not soft and it soon attracted everyone in the camp.

When the rest of the people arrived, they just saw Lin Fan and Angela standing inside with the dagger on the ground.

Lin Fan didn\'t even bother with them as he walked out of the armoured vehicle with Angela.

While the others didn\'t know what was going on, they still followed Lin Fan since there was nothing else they could do.

Lin Fan led them into the forest and soon they arrived in this clearing where Yin Zi had stopped to catch her breath after escaping.

When she heard their group approach, she immediately used the same technique as before to hide once again. However this time, Lin Fan saw right through it.

Without any hesitation, as soon as he walked into the clearing, he punched out in the direction of the hidden Yin Zi.

Yin Zi was shocked, but she quickly dodged out of the way. Even though she reacted quickly, she didn\'t react quick enough and the force of Lin Fan\'s punch grazed her, dispelling her hiding technique.

Yin Zi suddenly appeared, landing on the ground in front of them.

Everyone was shocked to suddenly see Yin Zi appear, but none of them were fools. They quickly put the pieces together in their mind before raising their weapons, aiming them all at Yin Zi.

Yin Zi just looked at Lin Fan and asked, "How?"

Lin Fan smiled without saying a thing.

What no one noticed was that underneath their feet were a row of ants that were crawling past, moving towards Yin Zi.

These ants were being controlled by the Desert Horror Queen. As the queen of the Desert Horrors which were high tier ants, naturally she could control these smaller ants.

The ants had found Yin Zi through her scent since they had a powerful chemosense, which was how ants found food.

Yin Zi was someone who wore heavy perfume since perfume could be used either as poison or as a tool to charm someone, both of which would be useful in assassinating someone.

That was how even though Yin Zi had used her artifact that contained shadow laws, allowing her to blend into her background, Lin Fan was still able to find her.

Although Yin Zi was currently surrounded by everyone, she didn\'t seem to panic at all. Rather she seemed quite calm for someone in the situation that she was in.

Seeing that Lin Fan didn\'t say anything, she turned to the others and said, "Do you really think you\'ve won here?"

Yue Jin gave a cold snort at this and said, "You\'re the one surrounded, do you really think that you should be saying things like this?"

Yin Zi revealed a smile as she said, "Do you really think so?"

Then there was a sudden pool of black that appeared at her feet.

There was a dark figure that suddenly popped out of that pool of black, taking form before the black cover slowly fell off them from head to toe, revealing their true appearance.

This was a person that was completely wrapped up in a black robe with a strange pierrot mask on their face. It was a mask that had a smile, but there was a single tear under the left eye.

But the moment that figure appeared, the pressure that it released suddenly fell down over all the young geniuses and the moment it did, it felt like they were being crushed by a mountain. That is, all of them except for Lin Fan and Angela.

This was a feeling that they had only ever felt from the heads of their families and it had to be known that all of them were from royal families, meaning that these heads were all peak Platinum Realm Experts.

If that were the case, wouldn\'t that mean that this was a peak Platinum Realm Expert that had just appeared?

Only Lin Fan and Angela were able to remain standing, the rest of them all slouched over under the pressure that they felt.

Yin Zi had the same smile as she said, "You are all frogs at the bottom of your wells, do you really think that you were actual geniuses? This is nothing more than a lower realm and you all have no idea just how wide the universe is."

Yue Jin struggled as he said, "You...You\'ve betrayed humanity?"

Yin Zi continued in her confident voice, "Humans are nothing in the face of the Beast Clan. I\'m just joining the right side while there\'s still a chance. You have no idea what they\'ve already shown me."

During this time, the masked figure had been staring at Lin Fan and Angela. For some reason, he felt a sense of danger from them, one that he couldn\'t explain.

Lin Fan had also been looking over the masked figure during this time.

Brainy had been trying to use its spiritual energy to investigate this person, but it was the same as when the girl in the lolita dress had disappeared. It was like there was something around this person that was cutting off its spiritual sense and interfering with its search.

After Yin Zi had finished her confident tirade, she turned to the mask figure and said, "Lord Yin, if you would do the honours."

But that masked figure completely ignored her.

That masked figure was silent for a few more seconds before asking Lin Fan, "Who are you?"

Lin Fan met his gaze and asked back, "Isn\'t it polite to introduce yourself first?"

The masked figure didn\'t say another word as it suddenly disappeared. When it appeared again, it was already in front of Lin Fan with a dagger in its hand, stabbing at Lin Fan\'s chest.

Lin Fan naturally was also prepared since he already had the Iron Eater Bone Artifact in his hand in a small compact cube form. The moment the masked figure disappeared, he had already transformed it and wrapped it up in a golden glow, bringing the golden glowing dagger up to meet the tip of the black dagger of this masked figure.

The two daggers clashed and there was a slight moment of equilibrium before the masked figure was actually pushed back.

He looked at Lin Fan in confusion.

Based on the aura that he had felt from Lin Fan, Lin Fan was clearly only in the mid Platinum Realm, but somehow he had been able to push him back.

It had to be known that the black dagger in his hand was actually a Legendary Realm Artifact that he had received for his achievements from his lord, yet this kid\'s white dagger was able to match it.

The masked figure couldn\'t help thinking, just who was this kid?
