Chapter 541: Chapter 541 Bloodthirsty Skeleton

"How is this guy so strong?"

Bai Shan’s gaze was icy cold as he watched Lin Chen with a shock in his heart.

A faint smile appeared on the corners of Lin Chen’s mouth as he held the Fiery Flame Sword, his eyes also fixed on Bai Shan. Facing a powerful opponent like Bai Shan, Lin Chen was very eager to test his mettle against him.

Spiritual Power surged madly into the Fiery Flame Sword in his hand as Lin Chen looked steadfastly at Bai Shan and then swung his sword to strike. A blaze of Sword Qi instantly shot toward Bai Shan.

Faced with Lin Chen’s sword strike, Bai Shan was even more astonished. He dared not take it lightly and quickly waved his sword, preparing to respond.

The Dragon Fang Dagger, witnessing the two engage in a fierce battle, immediately leaped up and hovered in the sky. The Dragon Fang Instrument Spirit, sitting atop the Dragon Fang Dagger, watched the fray with a leisurely interest.

The battle below was extremely intense, but to the Dragon Fang Instrument Spirit, it was so dull that it nearly fell asleep. No matter how fierce the fight, it seemed like mere drizzle in its eyes.

Before long, both Lin Chen and Bai Shan were covered in numerous sword wounds, with fresh blood continuously spilling out.

Bai Shan’s clothes were already dyed red with fresh blood, and he no longer possessed the spirited temperament he had earlier.

At this moment, with a pale face, he looked at Lin Chen, his hand shaking slightly as he held his sword. He was unwilling to give up just like that.

But the Lin Chen before him was very difficult to deal with.

Actually, Bai Shan still had methods to deal with Lin Chen, but should he use them, he would undoubtedly weaken considerably for a period of time within these ruins, making the trade-off less worthwhile.

After all, there were definitely more than one Treasured Sword within such ruins.

At this moment, Lin Chen was also covered in fresh blood, but unlike Bai Shan, Lin Chen’s powerful healing ability was recovering at a speed visible to the naked eye.

It was precisely this that Bai Shan noticed, so he stopped his battle with Lin Chen, because if the fight continued, it was inevitable that the one defeated would be Bai Shan.

Even if Bai Shan used his trump card, he was not absolutely certain he could kill Lin Chen. But he was also reluctant to really give up the Treasured Sword before him, thus he was greatly torn, and the two suddenly reached a deadlock.

However, as the standoff continued, the situation became increasingly favorable for Lin Chen, because the wounds on his body were almost fully healed.

Seeing this, Bai Shan couldn’t help but consider the thought of giving up the sword.

However, just as he was about to give up, a terribly miserable scream suddenly came from afar.

"What is that?!"

Bai Shan and Lin Chen couldn’t help but look towards the direction of the wretched scream and saw a group of Martial Artists frantically rushing towards them, as if they were fleeing for their lives.

Among that group of Martial Artists, there were actually four with a Cultivation reaching the Half-Step Heavenly Human Realm and seven at the Ninth Layer of the Reverting Void Realm.

And yet, they were now being pursued and killed.

Lin Chen immediately released his Divine Soul to probe behind the people, only to see a huge Skeleton Frame chasing them relentlessly.

"It seems this is where the dangers of the ruins lie."

Lin Chen looked at the huge skeleton chasing the group of Martial Artists and opened his mouth to speak softly.

In the past few days, Lin Chen had been competing with the Dragon Fang Dagger for treasures. At first, Lin Chen was cautious, but he didn’t encounter any danger, which made him start to doubt whether the ruins were truly dangerous.

However, now Lin Chen had finally understood. Within these ruins, some skeletons had weathered away over tens of thousands of years, while others seemed to have been infected or affected, turning into bloodthirsty killers. These skeletons, it could be said, had become a different form of life altogether.

Lin Chen’s gaze rested on the giant Skeleton Frame chasing the crowd. Although he didn’t understand why these skeletons were exuding such intense Yin Sha Qi, he could be sure of one thing—they must have been incredibly powerful in life. Otherwise, how could they have not been completely decayed over tens of thousands of years?

"Senior Brother Bai, save us."

At this moment, the Martial Artists being pursued by the Skeleton Frame noticed Lin Chen and Bai Shan and immediately cried out for help.

It turned out that among the eleven pursued Martial Artists, there were five people from Bai Shan’s Spirit Sword Sect.

At this moment, hearing the call for help from his Sect members, Bai Shan’s expression became incredibly grim, unsure of what to choose.

After all, if Bai Shan went to rescue his Sect members, he would definitely lose the chance at the Treasured Sword before him, as Lin Chen would surely take it for himself.

Seeing Bai Shan in such a dilemma, Lin Chen felt his impression of Bai Shan improve quite a bit.

Although this guy had a bit of a temper, at this moment, he still thought of his fellow Sect members and not the treasures before him. From this, one could see that at heart, he was not a bad person.

"Go and rescue your Sect members first. I’ll wait for you to come back and we can compete for the sword then,"

Lin Chen looked at Bai Shan and spoke lightly.
