Immortality Cultivation: I Farm in the System Space

Chapter 289: Chapter 271: Ruthless Zhang Chenfan

Following the self-destruction, an astoundingly powerful surge of violent spiritual power instantly dispersed outward, forming a wave of energy.

Whether it was trees or rocks, everything that made contact with this wave instantly turned to ash.

Zhang Wu, who was about to rush forward, saw this and hurriedly brought out a shield-shaped magical treasure, while also accumulating spiritual power to form several spiritual shields in front of him.

As the wave struck, the spiritual shields around Zhang Wu shattered one after another, and he couldn’t help but spit out a mouthful of blood, as he was sent flying through the air.

The shield-shaped magical treasure in front of him cracked continuously, spreading fissures throughout.

Then, the spiritual power continued to expand outward.

It quickly caught up to Lin Jing and the other two.

Seeing that there was no escape, Zhang Yuan and Huang Qingling each brought out a defensive magical treasure to protect the three of them.

Just as they finished doing this, the wave of violent spiritual power had already spread to them.

Subsequently, all three of them were sent flying through the air.

Fortunately, though,

Lin Jing and his companions were a fair distance away, and by the time the wave reached them, it had lost much of its strength.

Although they were injured as well, they were in better shape than Zhang Wu, who was closer to the blast.

After landing, Lin Jing looked towards the center of the explosion, where dust and smoke churned, making it impossible to see anything.

He couldn’t help but think to himself:

“I just don’t know how the Zhang Family Patriarch, who was at the center of the explosion, has fared under such a massively powerful blast?”

……

The explosion came quickly and left just as fast…

When the explosion passed and all the dust had settled, what was revealed was a huge, several-hundred-feet-wide circular crater on the ground.

The self-destruction of the Wu Cai Immortal was almost as powerful as a full-strength strike from a Nascent Soul Cultivator.

Above the crater, the Zhang Family Patriarch stood, his clothes ragged and his body covered in blood.

At this moment, the demonic techniques that had been surging through him had also receded, returning him to a normal state.

In front of him, there was a magical treasure as clear as crystal.

Now, that magical treasure was riddled with cracks.

It seemed that just now, it was this crystal-like magical treasure that had blocked most of the destructive force from Wu Cai Immortal’s self-destruction.

“Crack.”

Suddenly, a noise came from the magical treasure.

Then a crack appeared.

“Crack, crack…”

As the cracking sounds continued, the fissure spread further and further.

Finally, with a loud “boom,” the magical treasure finally fulfilled its purpose and shattered into pieces.

At that moment, Zhang Wu swiftly rose into the air, arriving before the Zhang Family Patriarch.

“Master, are you alright…”

Zhang Wu, too, had traces of blood at the corner of his mouth but appeared to be in a significantly better state compared to the Zhang Family Patriarch, who was at the center of the explosion.

The Zhang Family Patriarch’s gaze was stern as he stared intently at the giant pit on the ground, lost in thought.

After a long moment, the Zhang Family Patriarch lifted his head and said to Zhang Wu:

“I’m fine…”

Zhang Wu glanced at the huge pit in front of him, then continued to ask:

“With Wu Cai’s self-destruction, what about his Five Elements Divine Art…”

Zhang Wu knew the Patriarch’s aim and couldn’t help but feel worried.

The Zhang Family Patriarch’s expression was somber as he too looked towards the massive pit on the ground. He then took out a Storage Bag and said to Zhang Wu:

“I certainly can’t forget that. If it weren’t for the sake of snatching his Storage Bag, I wouldn’t have suffered such severe injuries.”

“It’s a pity, his self-destruction was a waste. I was just a little short of reaching the Golden Core Peak…”

Having said that, the Zhang Family Patriarch turned his head to look at Lin Jing and the others, who had just managed to stand up in the distance, his expression as cold as frost.

“Zhang Yuan, he has made his choice…”

Seeing the Patriarch’s grim expression, Zhang Wu quickly said:

“Master, why not give Young Master Yuan another chance? Or perhaps, confine him, and after some time, he will likely come around.”

“Humph!”

The Zhang Family Patriarch snorted coldly and then spoke,

“I don’t have so much energy to spend on him.”

“The entire Zhang Family depends on me for support to exist. He even dares to rebel against me; keeping him serves no purpose.”

As the Zhang Family Patriarch spoke these words, strands of Demonic Qi continuously surged from his body, and in his eyes, traces of black qi faintly emerged.

The current appearance of the Zhang Family Patriarch…

He may have been possessed due to cultivating those Demonic Techniques.

“The Zhang Family was established by me, and it was also by my hand that it reached its current scale. Anyone who dares to defy me should be killed outright.”

“If I, Zhang Chenfan, could establish a Zhang Family once, I can establish a second one.”

“Anyone who foolishly tries to stop me from obtaining immortality is an enemy.”

“Remember, it’s anyone…”

After the Zhang Family Patriarch finished speaking, Zhang Wu opened his mouth, wanting to say something else.

But when the Zhang Family Patriarch cast a cold glance at him, Zhang Wu immediately clammed up.

He then sighed, cupped his hands toward the Zhang Family Patriarch, and said,

“Yes, master…”

Seeing this, the Zhang Family Patriarch turned his head back to look at Lin Jing and the other two.

Then, disregarding his own injuries, the Zhang Family Patriarch stepped onto his sword and flew towards the direction where the three were, with Zhang Wu following closely behind.

……

After the self-destruction of the Wu Cai Immortal, Lin Jing and the other two were blown far away by the blast wave.

While all three were injured, thankfully, the injuries were not severe.

When the three of them got back to their feet, the Zhang Family Patriarch and Zhang Wu were already flying towards them.

Lin Jing looked towards the distant Zhang Family Patriarch, and Zhang Wu flying together, and immediately frowned.

The three of them together were no match for Zhang Wu.

Let alone now with the Zhang Family Patriarch present.

Although the Zhang Family Patriarch was severely injured, he was still beyond their ability to confront.

Just as Lin Jing was frowning in deep thought, contemplating a strategy, Huang Qingling beside him spoke up at that moment.

Huang Qingling lowered her voice and then said to Lin Jing and Zhang Yuan,

“When the time comes, I will rush forth; you two must not act rashly.”

“I still have one last strategy. If this strategy succeeds, we will surely escape unharmed…”

Hearing Huang Qingling’s words, Lin Jing looked at her with a surprise on his face. Huang Qingling gave Lin Jing a reassuring glance and nodded at him.

Lin Jing nodded back in response.

The two then looked at Zhang Yuan.

He was gazing at the Zhang Family Patriarch and Zhang Wu flying towards them, his eyes filled with confusion…

……

Before long.

The Zhang Family Patriarch and Zhang Wu descended in front of Lin Jing and the others.

The Zhang Family Patriarch lifted his gaze to look at Lin Jing and his companions.

It was at this moment that Lin Jing noticed the black qi flickering within the Zhang Family Patriarch’s eyes.

Moreover, the aura emanating from his body was somewhat sinister and evil, so unlike his usual disposition.

Without a hint of warmth or emotion, the Zhang Family Patriarch turned his cold gaze upon Zhang Yuan, and then he said,

“Are you sure you want to oppose me?”

Yet Zhang Yuan’s face was full of anguish as he looked at the Zhang Family Patriarch and said,

“Patriarch, are family members really so worthless in your eyes?”

“What’s the harm in abandoning everything for immortality?”

“Anyone, anyone who dares to hinder my quest for immortality, is my enemy.”

After speaking, the Zhang Family Patriarch’s gaze grew even colder as he stared directly at Zhang Yuan:

“I’ll ask you one last time, do you truly wish to be my enemy?”
