31: Chapter 31 That's not how you dig out sword bones.

This sword strike was like coming from beyond the heavens!

Facing such a terrifying attack,

Wang Zhan had no defenses whatsoever.

Coupled with the fact that he had just killed Senior Brother Lin Zhiyuan and was at his most relaxed moment, how could he have expected that someone else would ambush him here, specifically waiting for this timing to deal him a fatal blow.

"Lin Shen!!!"

"You are so insidious!!!"

Watching helplessly as this sword strike lunged at him, Wang Zhan let out an angry roar, his eyes filled with remorse and unwillingness.

He desperately twisted his body, forcibly driving that section of Sword Bone in an attempt to resist this sword strike.

Pfft!

Hot blood sprayed.

Under the forced drive of the Sword Bone, Wang Zhan barely managed to dodge the fatal attack of this sword strike.

However, even so, under the explosion of that terrifying lightning, his body suffered heavy injuries once again, and his aura became even more withered.

"Cough, cough, cough!!!"

Intense coughing sounds rang out.

Wang Zhan knelt on one knee, looking at the wounds all over his body scorched by lightning, as mouthfuls of blood spewed out recklessly.

"Lin Shen, you insidious and cunning villain!"

He looked toward the pitch-black night with an unwilling expression, but at this moment, there was no movement or aura in the dark.

It was as if that sword strike had never appeared at all.

But Wang Zhan knew it very well in his heart.

The person who attacked was definitely Lin Shen.

Throughout Chiyun Valley, there were only a handful of people with the thunder attribute Spiritual Root, and even fewer who cultivated thunder-attribute sword techniques.

Coupled with the fact that Lin Shen was originally a witness at the Liu Family and knew that he possessed heavy treasures on him,

besides Lin Shen, who else would suddenly attack at this time?

Wang Zhan felt both remorse and unwillingness in his heart.

He never expected that despite all his precautions against Senior Brother Lin Zhiyuan, he failed to guard against the even more cunning Lin Shen.

Clearly he had been cautious enough; clearly before fighting Senior Brother Lin Zhiyuan, he had intentionally spoken a bunch of nonsense just to investigate whether there were other people ambushing around, preventing someone else from reaping the profits of a fisherman.

Yet clearly he had done everything extremely well and extremely cautiously, why did this Lin Shen still appear here?

Why did he have to deal such a fatal blow to him precisely at the moment when he was most careless and weakest?

"Junior Brother Lin, come out!"

Leaning on the long sword in his hand, Wang Zhan's body trembled as he desperately stood up.

His gaze swept toward the surrounding night, and he smiled somewhat self-deprecatingly: "I lost. To be precise, both Senior Brother Lin and I lost, you won! Come out, history is written by the victors, this section of my Sword Bone is yours!"

However, his words did not cause any fluctuation of aura in the dark night.

Lin Shen did not step out from it either.

"Hehe... Junior Brother Lin is as cautious as ever. I should have thought of it long ago. For a person like you, I should have seen through your true face back when we were at the Liu Family..."

Wang Zhan laughed self-deprecatingly and sneered.

At this moment, Wang Zhan's heart grew colder and colder.

Facing such a cautious Lin Shen, he no longer had any chances.

Originally, with that section of Sword Bone in his body, he still had the chance to launch that final brilliant strike at the cost of overdrawing his blood Qi and damaging his Foundation.

In this way, as long as Lin Shen appeared, he would have a sliver of a chance to turn the tables.

But things did not go as he wished...

The injuries inside his body were becoming increasingly severe, and Lin Shen still refused to come out from the dark.

He didn't dare to get distracted to circulate Qi to heal his injuries at all, and didn't dare to make any unnecessary movements to swallow a Medicinal Pill.

Because he was afraid that as long as he got slightly distracted and had the motion of wanting to swallow a Medicinal Pill, Lin Shen, who was hidden in the dark, would seize this split-second opportunity to deal him a fatal blow.

Now he could only watch helplessly as his injuries worsened and the vitality within his body continuously drained away.

"Come out!"

"Lin Shen, get the hell out here!"

"Are you even a man? If you have the guts, give me a swift, fatal blow."

"Aren't you afraid of prolonged delays leading to trouble? Aren't you afraid that the aftermath of our battle will attract the attention of others?"

As time passed, Wang Zhan's face turned increasingly pale, and the Spiritual Qi inside his body began to disorder out of control.

At this moment, he could no longer endure it.

He roared frantically toward the surroundings.

Regarding death, Wang Zhan wasn't actually that afraid of it.

What he feared was dying in such a stifling manner.

Dying just like that without even seeing Lin Shen's face one last time.

However, no matter how loudly he roared, Lin Shen's figure never appeared, and there wasn't even any aura fluctuation in the surrounding night.

Wang Zhan couldn't wait any longer.

If he continued to wait, he might really perish like this due to his overly severe injuries.

With a vigilant gaze at his surroundings, he gritted his teeth and quickly took out a jade bottle from his Storage Pouch, intending to swallow a Medicinal Pill to restore his internal injuries.

As long as he successfully swallowed the Medicinal Pill and Lin Shen missed this prime opportunity, his internal injuries would gradually recover, and by then it was uncertain who would outlast whom!

Just as he took out the Medicinal Pill,

Lin Shen in the dark had already changed to another position.

A bolt of lightning flashed across.

The terrifying Thundering Sword Qi erupted and swept over once again, enveloping that jinglei flying sword as it shuttled over.

Lin Shen's sword was simply too fast, so fast that it was completely impossible to see clearly.

Due to the action of swallowing the Medicinal Pill and the severity of his internal injuries, Wang Zhan had nowhere to hide and nowhere to dodge.

He could only widen his eyes in terror and unwillingness, watching helplessly as Lin Shen struck with another sword.

Against this sword strike, Wang Zhan could no longer resist.

Pfft...

Hot blood sprayed.

Blood like a fountain.

In the dark night, amidst the faint light of the lightning explosion, Wang Zhan's head flew high into the air and then heavily crashed to the ground.

Blood spewed from his neck like a fountain, and his body stiffly collapsed right after.

Until Wang Zhan died.

Lin Shen's figure then drifted over.

He came to the bodies of Wang Zhan and Senior Brother Lin Zhiyuan, looked at their headless corpses, shook his head slightly, and sighed: "Two Senior Brothers, the path of Immortal Cultivation is naturally like this. When facing competition for treasures, it is either you die or I survive.

Neither of us can blame anyone for this; if you must blame someone, blame yourselves for not deserving to possess such supreme treasures, otherwise we would definitely be amiable fellow apprentices!"

With a sigh,

Lin Shen glanced at the Luck inside the jade pendant, and his original expression of compassion for the world instantly turned into loud, wild laughter.

Thirty wisps of Luck!

Such a massive amount of Luck was twice as much as what Li Changye had provided earlier.

How could Lin Shen not be excited after suddenly acquiring so much Luck?

Someone with such great Luck deserved to be killed!

Not to mention that it also contained supreme treasures like that section of Sword Bone.

Without the slightest hesitation, Lin Shen licked his lips, Spiritual Qi erupted in the palm of his hand, turning into a sharp claw as he quickly dug toward the back of Wang Zhan's corpse's spine.

"Sword Bone is not dug out like this!"

Suddenly, at this very moment,

a voice rang out from high up in the sky.
