Chapter 542: Chapter 542 Are You Going to Kill Me?

Hearing Lin Chen’s words, Bai Shan gave Lin Chen a few more glances, obviously somewhat disbelieving of Lin Chen’s statement – after all, at a time like this, involving a Heavenly Level Mid Grade sword with a lightning attribute, who would willingly forgo the chance to obtain it without taking it?

After a moment’s hesitation, Bai Shan still chose to rescue his fellow Sect members.

After consuming a handful of elixirs, Bai Shan, with his sword in hand, immediately flew toward his junior brothers and sisters.

After Bai Shan left, Lin Chen found a rock to sit on and waited for Bai Shan to finish his business.

At this moment, the huge Skeleton Frame, though only made of bones, emitted an incredibly loud roar from its body; the sound was piercing and strange, making one’s head feel dizzy.

Whoosh whoosh—

Right then, the Skeleton Frame swung its massive, ten-zhang-long palm, aiming a blow at the group of fleeing Martial Artists.

The powerful aura caused the fleeing crowd to feel a chill down their spines.

Smack—

Accompanied by a loud noise, the Skeleton’s immense palm struck the ground hard, hitting a Martial Artist directly, and the tremendous force of the impact instantly sent the surrounding Martial Artists flying.

The Martial Artist who was hit met a tragic end, being crushed into a pulp by the palm strike.

The other Martial Artists, after witnessing this scene, didn’t even bother to wipe off the fresh blood on them; they immediately got up from the ground and continued fleeing forward.

However, after the Skeleton had crushed a Martial Artist with one slap, it suddenly inhaled sharply through its fleshless nostrils. Instantly, all the fresh blood and Vital Energy of the slain Martial Artist were completely absorbed, the bloodstains on the ground vanished, and the remaining limbs and traces of blood from the dead Martial Artist turned into ash.

Afterward, the Skeleton continued its pursuit, quickly targeting another Martial Artist, and once again struck out with its palm.

Swish swish—

However, just at this critical moment, a beam of Sword Light suddenly flew in from the distance, striking the Skeleton’s descending arm.

The intense energy of the Sword Light shook the Skeleton’s arm away, causing the palm strike to veer off and finally land on the ground beside it, leaving a massive palm print.

Immediately, the targeted Martial Artist took the chance to quickly escape. Bai Shan whisked past him, rushing forward to confront the Skeleton and protect the crowd.

Seeing its prey escape, the Skeleton promptly turned its skeletal head, its hollow eye sockets staring fixedly at Bai Shan.

Confronted by the gaze of the Skeleton, Bai Shan couldn’t help feeling a chill run down his spine.

"This Skeleton Frame is really too eerie," he muttered to himself, and then the Skeleton Frame moved, attacking Bai Shan.

Bai Shan had blocked it from its prey, and now it wanted to make Bai Shan compensate.

Immediately, a battle ensued between them.

Bai Shan was extremely solemn, as if he was fighting against a monster of unprecedented size, unleashing even more powerful strength than when he had fought with Lin Chen.

However, even with his Sword Qi being extremely fierce, it failed to harm the gigantic Skeleton Frame, only leaving some traces on it.

Watching Bai Shan battle the enormous Skeleton Frame, the fleeing crowd suddenly stopped and turned around to watch.

Everyone had heard of Bai Shan’s reputation and had some understanding of his strength.

However, after watching the battle for a while, they realized that Bai Shan was gradually falling behind and feared that if the fight continued, he would lose.

"Should we... should we lend a hand to help Brother Bai Shan?"

A disciple from the Spirit Sword Sect spoke up, as if asking the others, yet also seemingly questioning his own heart.

Upon hearing this, another Spirit Sword Sect disciple seemed willing to act. However, among the ten of them, only five were disciples of the Spirit Sword Sect, while the other five were not.

"If you want to go, then go by yourselves. Originally, all of us together were more than capable of killing that Skeleton Frame. But you people from the Spirit Sword Sect are so weak in both cultivation and strength that our team has nearly lost half its members. Otherwise, this wretched Skeleton Frame would have been dealt with by us long ago."

"If anyone’s to blame, it’s those useless waste from the Spirit Sword Sect. It’s thanks to Bai Shan stepping in to hold back the Skeleton Frame that your Sect has managed to make some amends."

"If you wish to stay, then stay. We are going to leave while Bai Shan is holding back the Skeleton Frame."

A slender man among the five other martial artists spoke up.

After these words, he led the other four away.

The martial artists of the Spirit Sword Sect cursed out loud as they watched Zhang Xing’an leave with the other four.

With Zhang Xing’an’s group gone, their hope of joining the fight and defeating the Skeleton Frame dwindled even further.

Yet, Zhang Xing’an was completely indifferent to the reprimands of the Spirit Sword Sect disciples behind him; staying behind was no different from courting death, and he certainly didn’t care about their opinions.

But as Zhang Xing’an was leaving with the four, his step faltered, and his eyes suddenly shone with light, for he had spotted a glowing Lightning Sword stuck in a pile of Black Magic Stones.

Zhang Xing’an walked over, intending to pull it out before leaving.

"That sword already has an owner. I advise you to not covet it. If you want to run for your life, just run. Staying will only cause more trouble. Be mentally prepared, my friend," Lin Chen said, having seen what Zhang Xing’an had done just now and feeling quite indifferent about the man.

However, it didn’t matter to Lin Chen how Zhang Xing’an conducted himself, as long as it didn’t affect him personally.

But should this fellow covet the Lightning Sword, Lin Chen would not let him off.

"Haha, be mentally prepared?"

"What, is this Treasured Sword possibly yours?"

"Are you going to kill me? A Second Layer of Reverting Void Realm trash, I really wonder from which Sect you are, to send someone like you here to meet your death. You must be the disciple of an affiliate Sect looking to temper yourself."

"Let me tell you something, when you’re out in the world, if you see someone with stronger cultivation than yours, you ought to keep a low profile and shut your
