Immortality Cultivation: I Farm in the System Space

Chapter 38: The Zhang Family Brothers, Dead



After leaving his house, Lin Jing constantly felt something was off, as if a pair of eyes were watching him. However, Lin Jing didn't give it much thought and walked toward the street once he left the alley. He had considered the possibility of an encounter with the Zhang brothers. The reason he was so nonchalant was that he had made preparations in secret, ready to use talismans and annihilate them should they dare to show up. For this purpose, he hadn't used the Godspeed Talisman and Invisibility Talisman given to him by Wei Zhengqing, intending to use himself as bait to lure the brothers into his trap. ...... Zhang Sen and Zhang Lin, the brothers, were stealthily following Lin Jing, not daring to get too close and keeping a distance behind him. "Big brother, when do we make our move?" Zhang Lin asked in a low voice. Zhang Sen whispered back, "Not now, there are people passing by on the street all the time. We'll follow him quietly, and when we get to a deserted place, we'll take action." Thus, they continued to stealthily follow Lin Jing. As they walked, they felt increasingly uneasy because Lin Jing was heading towards the outskirts of Fang Market. "Big brother, something's not right. It looks like he's planning to leave Fang Market," Zhang Lin said worriedly. "It's so dangerous outside of Fang Market, is he courting death?" Zhang Lin wondered aloud. Zhang Sen kept his eyes on Lin Jing, a murderous intent surfacing as he made a decisive call. "It doesn't matter anymore, we can't wait any longer. There's no one around now, let's make our move," he said. As they spoke, they saw Lin Jing turn into an alley. "Perfect opportunity!" "Let's go, make it quick and decisive." After Zhang Sen spoke, he no longer hid his presence and charged forward. However, when they dashed into the alley, they came to a sudden halt. The alley was completely empty; they didn't see Lin Jing anywhere. "Where is he? We clearly saw him enter this alley," Zhang Lin exclaimed, looking around, but discovering nothing. "How could he just vanish?" Zhang Lin said anxiously. Zhang Sen was also deeply puzzled by the situation, his brows furrowed tightly as he became alert. "Are you looking for me?" Suddenly, a voice sounded from behind them. The brothers quickly turned around only to see the missing Lin Jing standing behind them. "You..." Zhang Sen was initially startled, and then his murderous intent burst forth. But at that moment, they saw Lin Jing utter a word. "Explode!" Thunder and lightning surged, enveloping both Zhang Sen and Zhang Lin. Zhang Sen was taken aback, only then realizing the danger. "Five Thunder Talisman!!!" ...... "No!!!" Without the chance for any further reaction, the thunderous force poured down, engulfing both brothers. At that moment, Lin Jing watched the two within the thunder, his face expressionless. He felt no sympathy for them. The outcome they received was entirely of their own doing. Under the wrath of the Five Thunder Talisman, the mid-stage Qi Refining brothers had no chance to react before they were reduced to ashes. When the spell dissipated, all that remained of them on the spot where they had stood was a pile of black ash; nothing else was left. Lin Jing glanced at it and then turned and walked away. Early on, shortly after leaving his house, Lin Jing had felt that something was amiss. He knew that it must be the two men tracking him. Therefore, Lin Jing circled about, leading the two men here, until just now, when their murderous intent erupted, triggering the system alarm. Lin Jing knew the moment had come and accordingly, he turned into this alley. Not far from the corner, he had already placed a Five Thunder Talisman in advance. Lin Jing knew that when they saw the alley was empty, they would surely hesitate and stop there. Meanwhile, Lin Jing himself had hidden within the System Space. Originally, he had planned to use an Invisibility Talisman, but fearing it wasn't safe enough, he ultimately chose the System Space. What followed was the final scene. Lin Jing emerged from the System Space and, without waiting for the two men to react, immediately detonated a Five Thunder Talisman, killing them both. ...... By the time Lin Jing arrived at Shi Yu Alley, a quarter of Zi Time had already passed. However, as soon as Lin Jing arrived, he saw Wei Zhengqing waiting there. Beside him stood a tower-like strong man, all muscles, looking so exaggerated that one might think he could tear apart tigers and leopards with his bare hands. Approaching Wei Zhengqing, Lin Jing apologized with sincerity: "Brother Wei, sorry, I encountered a little accident on the way which made you wait." Wei Zhengqing stared at Lin Jing, sizing him up, then straightforwardly said: "You've killed someone." Lin Jing was startled for a moment, then checked himself from head to toe, but found nothing amiss. The muscular man standing beside Wei Zhengqing couldn't help but laugh at Lin Jing's actions. "Hahaha..." "Stop searching, the murderous aura on you hasn't dissipated yet. Elder Wei determined you killed someone based on that aura." "I see." Lin Jing gave an embarrassed smile, then said solemnly: "I won't lie to Brother Wei, I did indeed kill two people just now, specifically the Zhang Sen and Zhang Lin brothers." "The Zhang brothers, if I'm not mistaken, their cultivation was at the middle stage of Qi Refinement." Upon learning that Lin Jing had killed Zhang Sen and Zhang Lin, Wei Zhengqing showed no particular reaction, as if their deaths were insignificant. "Goodness..." The muscular man let out an exclamation. "I thought you were just a fledgling, but it turns out you're a ruthless one." "I see you're only at the early stage of Qi Refinement, yet you killed two middle-stage Qi Refinement cultivators." "I'm really curious now, how did you manage that?" Wei Zhengqing glanced at the strong man and said to Lin Jing: "This is Yan Xiong. You can call him Big Black Bear or Big Bear; like me, he's also at the Late Stage of Qi Refining. If I'm not around and you need help, you can look for him." The muscular Yan Xiong scratched his head and gave an embarrassed smile, "Don't listen to Elder Wei, just calling me Old Yan will do." "Not to conceal from both of you, I actually took advantage by using this." As he spoke, Lin Jing took out a talisman from his Storage Bag. "A Five Thunder Talisman!" Recognizing the talisman, both men exclaimed immediately. "No wonder you could kill those two Qi Refinement cultivators." After saying this, Yan Xiong then expressed some regret: "That's a talisman that can threaten Foundation Establishment Cultivators, yet it was used on two mere Qi Refinement cultivators." "Tsk tsk... such a waste..." However, Wei Zhengqing objected, "There's nothing wasteful about it. When one's own life is in danger, any method used is fair." Yan Xiong didn't dare to argue, but murmured under his breath. "Of course, I know that, I just feel it's a pity for the talisman. If I had known, I could have taken care of them myself, crushing them as easily as crushing baby chicks, and that way we could have saved a Five Thunder Talisman." "They intended to harm you, didn't they?" Wei Zhengqing ignored Yan Xiong and turned to ask Lin Jing. "Yes." Lin Jing nodded. "From the moment I left my house, they were secretly following me. Later on, they even showed their intent to kill." "So I turned their plot against them and lured them to a deserted alley. There, I used the Five Thunder Talisman to eliminate them." After finishing, Lin Jing added: "Moreover, I discovered that the theft at my home that day was committed by them." Wei Zhengqing pondered for a moment, then said: "They had owed a huge debt of Spirit Stones to Qianjin Fang lately, and were being pressed hard. And during that time, you've been eating Superior Spirit Rice every day." "Clearly, you've shown off too much wealth." Lin Jing was embarrassed, indeed that was the case.
