Elder Hua was still one step too late, watching helplessly as Lin Chen was sent flying by a palm strike from the bald elder.
Upon seeing Elder Hua, the bald elder's face changed, and a cold smile crossed his lips before he turned and left.
This palm strike was delivered with his full strength, so even though Elder Hua rushed to the scene, he could only collect Lin Chen's body.
Unable to pursue the bald elder, Elder Hua hastily ran towards Lin Chen, his heart heavy. He knew the strength of that elder who was in the late Golden Core phase, and he understood the power of his palm strike.
Although he still harbored a sliver of hope, reason told him Lin Chen was surely dead.
"What a pity, how hateful, a lamentable fate! Is this really the will of heaven?" Elder Hua walked heavily towards Lin Chen.
"Ah, Lin Chen, I'm sorry I was a step too late," Elder Hua sighed as he looked at the motionless body on the ground.
Suddenly, his gaze sharpened as he saw Lin Chen's fingers twitch.
