Immortality Cultivation: I Farm in the System Space

Chapter 294: 276 Chapter Mysterious Huang Qingling

The Zhang Family Patriarch placed his palm on top of Zhang Wu’s head, and then countless thin threads extended from his hand, burrowing into Zhang Wu’s body.

Zhang Wu instantly shuddered, followed by an onslaught of intense pain.

Zhang Wu couldn’t help but let out a wretched scream.

“Ah…”

Meanwhile, the Zhang Family Patriarch consoled him on the side:

“Little Wu, it’ll be over soon…”

“Don’t worry, the pain will pass quickly.”

As Zhang Wu’s agonized cries echoed, the Zhang Family Patriarch continuously offered comfort, but paired with his demonic qi-filled appearance, this consolation seemed very sinister.

Outside, Elder Bai and Elder Yu looked at Zhang Wu inside and then said with a face full of regret:

“Zhang Wu, you have succumbed to the demon, why torment yourself?”

Zhang Wu’s face was twisted in pain, yet he still clenched his teeth tightly and said with difficulty:

“Without the master, I would have died in that filthy ditch hundreds of years ago.”

“My life was given by the master, and now I return it to the master.”

“I… do not regret!”

Having said this, the severe pain became too much for Zhang Wu to bear.

“Ah…”

Involuntarily, he let out a blood-curdling scream, and at that moment, all the vital blood in his body gushed into the body of the Zhang Family Patriarch as if being poured back in.

The injuries on the Zhang Family Patriarch’s body were healing at an extremely fast rate.

Even the demonic qi on his body was becoming more and more vigorous.

In contrast, Zhang Wu’s figure became more and more emaciated, his veins bulging on his body, almost turning into a mummified corpse.

“Ah…”

“Master, I beg you… please make it quick!”

Zhang Wu finally could not endure anymore and urgently pleaded with the Zhang Family Patriarch.

“Alright…”

“Little Wu, may you have a good journey. If there’s an afterlife, let me serve you.”

As the Zhang Family Patriarch’s words fell, he exerted strength, and those bloodlines immediately swelled to the thickness of fingers.

Then, with a fierce inhalation…

Zhang Wu’s vital blood was completely drained from his body.

And Zhang Wu.

Turned into a dried-up corpse, skin and bones.

The thin threads in the Zhang Family Patriarch’s hands retracted, and Zhang Wu’s corpse fell from mid-air.

Having absorbed Zhang Wu completely, the Zhang Family Patriarch then closed his eyes, allowing the increasingly dense demonic qi to swirl around him.

And the black barrier became even more solidified.

Elder Bai and Elder Yu tried several times again, but even with their combined strength, they couldn’t break through.

Seeing this, both felt a bad omen.

Now, with their powers combined, they couldn’t break the shield; they feared that once he emerged, none of them would be able to escape.

Therefore.

Elder Bai and Elder Yu exchanged a glance, understanding each other’s thoughts.

“Retreat!”

After saying this, they both flew towards Lin Jing and the others.

However, just at that moment.

A powerful surge of demonic qi burst forth, instantly enveloping the entire area.

Following that, the aura of the Golden Core Peak cultivation also rose at this time.

“Golden Core Peak…”

A chilling voice sounded, and the Zhang Family Patriarch had indeed successfully broken through.

“This feeling, it’s wonderful!”

“None of you will escape; you will all be nourishment for my advancement to the Nascent Soul Stage.”

As the Zhang Family Patriarch’s words faded, the black barrier completely dissipated.

At this moment, the eyes of the Zhang Family Patriarch were completely pitch-dark, and both his body and face were densely covered with countless black Demonic Patterns, giving him a very eerie appearance.

The Zhang Family Patriarch looked up at Elder Bai and Elder Yu.

Then, with an evil smile, the Demonic Qi around him surged dramatically as two huge black wings formed behind him.

With a shake of the wings behind him, the Zhang Family Patriarch instantly disappeared from where he stood and charged at Elders Bai and Yu with incredible speed.

His speed surpassed that of Elder Bai in his prime and was much faster, not to mention that Elder Bai, now heavily injured, was much slower than before.

It took only a moment for the Zhang Family Patriarch to get behind the two men, the red threads in his hands weaving through the air, about to catch up with them.

However,

Elder Bai and Elder Yu were clearly prepared.

As soon as the Zhang Family Patriarch charged towards them, the two had readied themselves.

Elder Bai took out a bead Magical Treasure covered in dense inscriptions and placed it before them, simultaneously controlling a Flying Sword to attack the Zhang Family Patriarch.

Elder Yu did the same, a small greenish shield suddenly enlarging to envelop both him and Elder Bai. On that shield, several Defensive Arrays slowly rotated, emitting a bright white light.

Nevertheless, the Zhang Family Patriarch paid no attention to them, the fine threads in his hands shooting out and directly hitting Elder Yu’s shield.

The threads now had black Demonic Qi constantly swirling around them, becoming very frightening.

The Defensive Formation on the shield, upon contact with the threads, was destroyed instantly by them, while the threads, unaffected, continued forward and even pierced through the shield.

At last, fortunately, Elder Bai’s bead proved effective, managing to stop all the threads.

Yet, after that strike,

The cracks on the bead deepened, even showing a visible fissure.

Before Elder Bai and Elder Yu had time to relax, the Zhang Family Patriarch extended his other hand, the blood-red threads entwined with Demonic Qi once again surged forth, attacking the two men.

“Run fast…”

Seeing the grim situation and knowing they couldn’t escape, they quickly shouted to Lin Jing and Huang Qingling.

However, before Elder Bai could finish his sentence, there was a “boom,” and the bead shattered completely.

Then, those blood-red threads quickly bound Elder Bai and Elder Yu.

“Hahaha…”

“Now no one can stop me. You two will become the nourishment for my advancement to the Nascent Soul Stage.”

Who knew, just as the Zhang Family Patriarch was delighting in his malevolence,

A voice suddenly appeared, interrupting him.

“You won’t succeed…”

The one who spoke was none other than Huang Qingling, standing beside Lin Jing.

Originally,

With Elder Bai and Elder Yu bound, Lin Jing was extremely anxious, trying to think of a strategy,

But suddenly heard this voice coming from beside him.

Lin Jing paused momentarily, then turned to look.

He saw Huang Qingling once again emitting that mystifying, nine-colored divine light.

As the nine-colored glow from Huang Qingling’s body grew stronger, Elder Bai and Elder Yu, as if summoned by it,

Also emitted the same nine-colored divine light as Huang Qingling,

And the blood-red threads binding them, upon touching the nine-colored light, quickly dissolved.

Seeing this, the Zhang Family Patriarch instantly felt uneasy and went on guard.

He looked at Huang Qingling warily and quickly asked:

“Who exactly are you?”

Lin Jing felt the same, looking at her as if seeing her for the first time, filled with surprise.

Then, Lin Jing looked up at the sky.

Elder Bai and Elder Yu were quietly floating there, eyes closed, yet showing no response.

Not knowing what was happening, Lin Jing quickly turned around, about to ask.

However, he noticed something horrifying…

As the mysterious, nine-colored divine light coming from Huang Qingling grew more intense,

Huang Qingling’s body…

Seemed to be disintegrating slowly, as if consumed by the glow.
