Chapter 283 - Chapter 283: Zhang Wu’s self-confidence 265 (2/2)
Zhang Wu remained profoundly calm at this time, appearing not to worry at all. Suddenly, Wu Cai Immortal spoke up and began to explain:
“Because…”
“This information was deliberately leaked by us.”
The words of Zhang Wu made Wu Cai Immortal’s complexion turn even uglier.
Zhang Wu then continued:
“The target, of course, was you.”
“Otherwise, how could you have so easily obtained our information and then followed us here?”
As soon as Zhang Wu finished speaking, Lin Jing and the other two were visibly shocked.
At that moment, Lin Jing looked towards Zhang Yuan.
He saw that Zhang Yuan, like Huang Qingling, was also wearing an expression of shock, looking at Zhang Wu in disbelief.
Clearly, he had also been unaware of this matter until now.
Lin Jing, despite his shock, felt a bit relieved.
It turned out that it wasn’t his exposure after all.
Rather, Zhang Wu had used him as bait to lure Wu Cai Immortal into following them here.
Furthermore.
Zhang Wu had just used the word ‘us,’ clearly indicating that more than just Zhang Wu was involved in this matter.
If Lin Jing’s guess was correct, there must be others lying in ambush nearby.
They had gone to such lengths, apparently planning to take action against Wu Cai Immortal.
If they could truly eliminate Wu Cai Immortal, Lin Jing would have no complaints about being used.
……
After hearing this, Wu Cai Immortal spread his Divine Sense widely, searching with all his might, yet he detected no anomalies.
His brow furrowed deeply as he stared intently at Zhang Wu, simultaneously raising his guard in secret.
“The news you released…”
“Then that must mean the news is indeed fake.”
“Yes!” Zhang Wu nodded in confirmation.
Wu Cai Immortal glared coldly at Zhang Wu and said:
“By luring me here with false information, Zhang Wu, do you think you can match me?”
Afterward.
The aura emanating from Wu Cai Immortal began to climb, and the presence of his cultivation slowly strengthened.
Soon, a much stronger Cultivation aura than before radiated from Wu Cai Immortal.
Lin Jing and the others below felt an even greater pressure.
“Golden Core Late Stage…”
Zhang Wu said, uttering these few words.
This was the first time he showed an expression of surprise.
Upon hearing this, Lin Jing and the others, who had relaxed somewhat, instantly tensed up again.
It must be understood…
Among them, Zhang Wu, who had the highest cultivation, only possessed Early Stage Golden Core cultivation.
But this Wu Cai Immortal.
He was at the Late Stage Golden Core level.
The difference between Early Stage and Late Stage Golden Core was not to be underestimated.
After his initial surprise, Zhang Wu’s expression returned to calmness, and he stated directly:
“I didn’t expect you to have quietly advanced to the Late Stage Golden Core.”
“However…”
“What of it even if it’s a Late Stage Golden Core?”
“Today, you are still doomed to die!”
As soon as these words were uttered, not only the Wu Cai Immortal in the sky,
even Lin Jing and his two companions couldn’t help but turn their heads, looking at Zhang Wu.
They were aware that they were confronting a Late Stage Golden Core Wu Cai Immortal,
and Zhang Wu was merely a Cultivator at the Early Stage Golden Core.
What gave him the confidence to speak such words?
Moreover.
This statement was a far cry from the usual Zhang Wu.
If it had been before, Zhang Wu would never have made such a proclamation.
Especially Zhang Yuan, who had been acquainted with him for quite some time, looked even more astonished.
“Good… good… good…”
Wu Cai Immortal, furious to the verge of laughter, his aura surged wildly, becoming more tempestuous.
“Zhang Wu, I didn’t expect you to be so confident. I must see for myself where, indeed, such self-assurance comes from.”
However.
No sooner had Wu Cai Immortal spoken, than a voice came from afar.
“He certainly has reason to be confident, because his confidence comes from me…”
