Immortality Cultivation: I Farm in the System Space-Chapter 287 - 269 Zhang Yuan’s Choice

Chapter 287: Chapter 269 Zhang Yuan’s Choice

Zhang Yuan slowly lifted his head and looked towards Zhang Wu.

A moment later, he turned his head to gaze at Lin Jing and Huang Qingling.

At this time, Zhang Yuan’s eyes still lacked focus.

He seemed like a walking corpse.

In the sky, the battle between Wu Cai Immortal and the Zhang Family Patriarch had also begun.

Right from the start, both unleashed their full power.

As soon as they clashed, Wu Cai Immortal was suppressed by the blood-red light bursting forth from the Zhang Family Patriarch.

Having no choice, Wu Cai Immortal released streams of multicolored light towards the Zhang Family Patriarch while retreating backwards.

The dazzling multicolored light collided with the blood-red light filled with an evil aura, causing their spiritual power to surge and scatter in all directions.

Beneath them, countless mountains, stones, and trees affected by their spells were sent flying chaotically, leaving the ground in disarray.

The battle was fierce, but since it was some distance away from Lin Jing and the others, their location was, for the time being, unaffected.

Now free from the oppressive divine sense of Wu Cai Immortal, both Lin Jing and Huang Qingling recovered.

It was at this moment:

Zhang Wu, with hands behind his back, slowly walked towards the three of them, his gaze calm. Looking at Zhang Yuan, he spoke:

“Young Master Yuan…”

“Please take action quickly, and do not fail the master’s expectations.”

With Zhang Wu here, it was nearly impossible for Lin Jing and the other to escape even if they wanted to.

Hearing Zhang Wu’s words, Zhang Yuan gradually came to his senses.

A moment later, he stood up.

He looked at Lin Jing and Huang Qingling again.

Lin Jing and Huang Qingling were both extremely guarded, facing Zhang Wu, a Golden Core Cultivator, they couldn’t help but be vigilant.

Seeing Zhang Yuan look over, Lin Jing lifted his head and also looked towards Zhang Yuan.

Clearly, Lin Jing could see that Zhang Yuan’s eyes were filled with changing expressions.

Clearly, he was struggling.

Lin Jing was silent for a moment, then spoke:

“Brother Zhang…”

“Even if you truly become our enemy, I can understand.”

“But…”

“I will fight with all my might.”

Huang Qingling stood firmly by his side, nodding her head in agreement.

In contrast, Zhang Wu looked unhurried as he watched the three of them.

Zhang Yuan’s struggle deepened.

“Young Master Yuan, it is time for you to take action,” Zhang Wu said, urging him as he saw Zhang Yuan’s hesitation.

At the same time, an aura unique to a Golden Core Cultivator rose from Zhang Wu, bringing a sense of oppression that enveloped Lin Jing and Huang Qingling once again.

Clearly, Zhang Wu was ready, just waiting for Zhang Yuan to make his decision.

Zhang Yuan looked down for a while, then when he lifted his head again, his face was full of determination, his eyes unwavering.

Then he turned around, back facing Lin Jing and Huang Qingling, towards Zhang Wu, and said:

“Elder Wu, I don’t want to become someone like you or the Patriarch. If even friends and family can be discarded, then can I still be myself?”

Zhang Yuan’s words left Zhang Wu silent for a moment.

Then, with a slight frown, he advised Zhang Yuan:

“Young Master Yuan, you understand the master.”

“Once the master has decided, there can be no disagreement…”

“If you insist on going against the master’s will, I fear no one will be able to save you.”

“I watched you grow up, Young Master, and I don’t want to see you take the wrong path.”

“I hope you can think this through clearly…”

Facing Zhang Wu’s advice, Zhang Yuan simply shook his head and then said:

“I have thought it through.”

Following that.

Zhang Yuan turned his head towards Lin Jing and Huang Qingling and said:

“Brother Lin, Miss Qingling, you two should leave quickly…”

Faced with Zhang Yuan’s choice, Lin Jing felt both surprise and admiration; on one hand was his friend, on the other was his family’s Patriarch…

After all, such a decision would be difficult for anyone to make.

“Brother Zhang, you…”

Lin Jing looked at Zhang Yuan and just started to speak when Zhang Wu interrupted:

“Neither of them will be able to escape, Young Master Yuan, you should stop fooling yourself…”

“Since the lord has dared to reveal his true identity, he had no intention of leaving either of them alive.”

Lin Jing had naturally thought of this as well.

That’s why he had just tried to inform Zhang Yuan.

But Zhang Wu interrupted him.

After hearing this, Zhang Yuan immediately had a moment of enlightenment, his gaze becoming resolute as he looked at Zhang Wu and said,

“If there’s no intention to leave any survivors, then you might as well kill me too.”

Zhang Wu furrowed his brows and then spoke,

“Young Master Yuan, if you continue to be so stubbornly delusional, then do not blame me for being heartless.”

Following that, Zhang Wu started to close in.

Zhang Yuan, however, positioned himself in front of Lin Jing and the others.

Just then,

“Boom!”

A loud explosion rang out in the sky, a massive wave of force mixed with violent spiritual energy sweeping across the area.

In an instant, the surrounding trees were all uprooted, and even Lin Jing, Huang Qingling, and Zhang Yuan were blown far away by the tremendous blast.

Fortunately, the three were quick to react; in mid-air, they had already circulated their spiritual power to form protective shields, blocking the majority of the explosive force.

After they landed, thankfully, they were not seriously injured.

“Zhang Chenfan, what does it matter that you’ve cultivated demonic techniques.”

“Now that your magical treasure has self-destructed along with my flying sword, you cannot withstand my Five Elements Divine Art without a magical treasure.”

This voice belonged to the Wu Cai Immortal.

No wonder the blast was so powerful, it turned out the magical treasures had self-destructed.

Once they landed, Zhang Yuan hurriedly said to the two,

“Brother Lin, Miss Qing Ling…”

“You two, quickly leave.”

However, Lin Jing could only helplessly shake his head and reply,

“Brother Zhang, it’s too late to leave now…”

Because Lin Jing had already seen Zhang Wu flying towards them; his speed was very fast.

He was quickly above them.

“Young Master Yuan, you have greatly disappointed me…”

“And you have greatly disappointed the lord as well…”

Zhang Yuan turned around and shielded Lin Jing and Huang Qingling behind him.

“Lord Wu, this is my own choice.”

“If you want to harm my friends, then you’ll have to kill me first.”

Facing Zhang Wu, a Golden Core Immortal, the three at the Foundation Establishment level didn’t stand much of a chance.

But they were not going to sit there and await their demise.

This time, Lin Jing had no choice but to reveal his cultivation.

Although it might not be of much use.

By now, Huang Qingling had already adjusted herself and produced her flying sword.

Lin Jing likewise summoned his Flawless Sword.

At the same time, one of Lin Jing’s hands reached towards his Storage Bag, where his last resort lay—the ultimate sword.

Whether they could turn the situation around and escape from Zhang Wu’s clutches depended on the ultimate sword.

Zhang Wu, seeing their determination, couldn’t help but laugh.

“Young Master Yuan, it seems you’ve made up your mind to join them and become an enemy of the lord.”

“Lord Wu, in life, one must have something worth guarding, and today I fight for my friends. Even if I die, I will have no regrets!”

“Good… good… good…”

“In that case, Young Master Yuan, don’t blame me for showing no mercy.”

With those words, the aura emanating from Zhang Wu continued to rise.

And with that, a fiery-red Treasure Pestle was also summoned by Zhang Wu.

At this moment, Huang Qingling stepped forward, standing beside Zhang Yuan.

And so, Zhang Yuan and Huang Qingling, subconsciously protected Lin Jing behind them.

Together, the two of them summoned their magical treasures, confronting Zhang Wu.

At this time, Lin Jing had not yet fully revealed his cultivation level; he still appeared to be at the ninth level of Qi Refinement.

He was not in a hurry to show his true power now.

The situation now seemed more suitable for a surprise attack.
