"You talk too much, disappear from my sight within three breaths,"
Lin Chen said to Zhang Xing’an with an indifferent tone.
"Nothing but waste at the Second Layer of Reverting Void Realm, I truly don’t know what you’re trying to play at."
"Today, I will teach you that when you’re outside, you need to learn to keep your mouth shut."
Zhang Xing’an’s face revealed a somewhat mocking smile, then he swung his fist, filled with Spiritual Power, smashing it towards Lin Chen.
The onlookers sighed at the sight of Zhang Xing’an taking action against Lin Chen, secretly thinking that Lin Chen was probably in big trouble now.
Among the five people present, there were two disciples of Ten Thousand Buddha Sect, one disciple from Third Person Pavilion, one disciple from Dark Fragrance Hermitage, and including Zhang Xing’an who was a disciple of Bodhi Hall.
Among the five, including Zhang Xing’an, there were three whose cultivation was at Half-Step Heavenly Human Realm, and another was at the Ninth Layer of Reverting Void Realm, but in terms of combative power, they were all below Zhang Xing’an, so at this moment, no one wanted to meddle in the affair and didn’t dare to speak out to stop Zhang Xing’an, allowing him to attack Lin Chen.
The female cultivator from Dark Fragrance Hermitage, seeing Lin Chen being attacked, couldn’t help but cover her eyes, not bearing to watch Lin Chen being beaten into a sorry state in a moment.
Lin Chen looked at Zhang Xing’an and said blandly, while throwing a punch towards him.
A powerful aura burst out from Lin Chen’s body, and when he unleashed the power of this punch, he hadn’t even used his full strength.
"Brother, spare my life! I spoke out of turn just now, please retract your..."
Sensing the aura exploding from Lin Chen, and the Fist Intent contained in the punch, Zhang Xing’an’s heart conceded defeat and immediately begged Lin Chen for mercy. However, Lin Chen’s punch had already landed on his body.
With a loud crash, Zhang Xing’an’s body was directly blown away for several miles, hitting a massive Black Magic Stone.
Seeing Zhang Xing’an being blown away with a single punch by Lin Chen, and not knowing if he was dead or alive, the other four involuntarily swallowed their saliva.
At this moment, everyone turned their heads away, not daring to look at the pile of Black Magic Stones with the Lightning Sword within, fearing that Lin Chen would misunderstand that they also wanted to snatch the Lightning Sword.
Following the little interlude between Lin Chen and Zhang Xing’an, the battle between Bai Shan and that huge Skeleton Frame in the distance had also reached its conclusion.
Not that Bai Shan had defeated the huge Skeleton Frame, but at this moment, Bai Shan was completely no match for it, being suppressed at every turn. Content orıginally comes from noᴠelfire.net
As Bai Shan struggled more and more to fend off its attacks, the Skeleton Frame slapped down with a hand, and several finger bones immediately pierced through Bai Shan’s body. Although they did not hit his vitals, the injury was severe.
Upon seeing this, none of the others dared to stay in the area any longer and immediately fled in all directions, including those five martial artists from the Spirit Sword Sect.
Seeing everyone fleeing, Bai Shan was filled with immense anger. He had after all saved everyone earlier, yet now these people were abandoning him to escape alone.
Lin Chen shook his head as he watched the scene unfold.
If those nine who fled had joined forces with Bai Shan to deal with the Skeleton Frame before them, there might have been a chance to defeat it.
But once danger struck, they all fled to save themselves, meaning if Bai Shan couldn’t hold back the Skeleton Frame, everyone else would just be defeated one by one.
Now, Bai Shan knew he was no match for the Skeleton Frame, but even if he wanted to flee, he was unable to escape from its grasp.
Lin Chen glanced at Bai Shan, shook his head, and ultimately leapt into action, joining the battle between Bai Shan and the Skeleton Frame.
The two immediately joined forces to fight against the Skeleton Frame.
Half an hour later, under the combined assault of Lin Chen and Bai Shan, the Skeleton Frame finally collapsed to the ground.
Bai Shan lay on the ground, breathing heavily, and looked at Lin Chen with a complex expression in his eyes.
If not for Lin Chen’s intervention, he would probably have met his end here today.
"Why did you save me?"
Bai Shan asked Lin Chen.
"It’s nothing, just thought you seemed somewhat likeable, and that’s all there is to it," Lin Chen replied with a light smile. His decision to save Bai Shan was indeed just because he took a liking to him.
Unlike other martial artists in this chaotic world, Bai Shan carried a sense of chivalry, even if such sentiments were not ideally suited for survival in the martial world.
The martial artists of the Divine Flame Alliance, while nominally part of the Righteous Factions, felt to Lin Chen that many of them had cold blood running through their veins. With a law of the jungle, where the strong prey upon the weak, there was no talk of lending a hand to save others.
However, in Bai Shan, Lin Chen saw warm blood, and that’s why he chose to save Bai Shan.
Hearing Lin Chen’s words, Bai Shan said nothing more.
Earlier, when Bai Shan heard his sect mates cry for help, he did not think much before rushing out to their aid.
But Bai Shan made a mistake in one thing; Lin Chen’s readiness to save him did not mean that they were the same kind of person.
Lin Chen was not the sort who would casually rescue others; he only cared about his own kin.
Lin Chen had said it himself, he found Bai Shan likeable, and that was it.
At this moment, both Lin Chen and Bai Shan had many wounds on their bodies, and their Spiritual Power was largely depleted.
Lin Chen took out a bottle of elixir, ready to take it to heal his wounds and restore his Spiritual Power, when suddenly a number of figures flew back from afar.
It was the martial artists who had fled earlier, returning once again.
