Bringing The Farm To Live In Another World

BTFTLIAW – Chapter 2307

Zhao Hai had been watching the battle closely and noticed that both sides were exhausted. However, this was a good opportunity for him. He slowly opened his eyes. Although his face was still a little pale, his eyes were very sharp.

He glanced around, then suddenly leaped up, flipped his hand and took out two iron maces. With a roar, he charged out.

The Ghost Blade Gang members’ expressions changed drastically the moment they saw Zhao Hai rush out. They knew all too well how powerful Zhao Hai was. He had single-handedly killed ten of their men in a short time. Such fighting prowess was absolutely outrageous. They had seen him use a secret technique that weakened himself and assumed he wouldn’t recover his strength anytime soon. But who would have thought he would be jumping around like a madman so quickly?

They soon found out the answer. They couldn’t be allowed to live. Although Zhao Hai was pale, his attack power was not weakened at all. As soon as he made a move, he killed two Ghost Blade Gang cultivators.

The cultivators of the Ghost Blade Gang were already exhausted after the long battle, so they were no match for the mad tiger-like Zhao Hai.

Zhao Hai did not stop. His target was very clear, the five men in black robes. So after killing two Ghost Blade Gang cultivators, he did not continue fighting the Ghost Blade Gang members, but went straight for the five men in black robes.

The Ghost Blade Gang members also noticed Zhao Hai’s intentions. The leader of the Ghost Blade Gang cultivators’ expression changed and he said, “Stop him!” The Ghost Blade Gang cultivators around him rushed towards Zhao Hai as if their lives depended on it.

The five men in black robes noticed Zhao Hai’s movements but they weren’t afraid. Instead, they sneered as they watched Zhao Hai being surrounded by the Ghost Blade Gang’s cultivators.

Then all of a sudden, Zhao Hai threw several walnut-sized balls at them. These balls were thrown very quickly. The five men in black robes thought that Zhao Hai was blocked by the Ghost Blade Gang and had no way to deal with them. They had already prepared their magical weapons to attack Zhao Hai, but they never expected that Zhao Hai would attack them at this moment, and with a killing move right away.

The spheres that Zhao Hai threw out were none other than the Fire Thunderbolts of the Raging Fire Sect. As soon as Zhao Hai got his hands on them, they could be mass-produced in his Space. Moreover, after being improved by the Space, their power was greatly increased.

Before the five men in black robes could react, the fire thunderbolts exploded with a deafening roar. And the five men fell to the ground dead without uttering a sound.

This was also due to the five black-robed men’s carelessness. They had been standing at the back of the group, only attacking with magical artifacts while Zhou Feng and his group hadn’t made any moves to attack. This led the five black-robed men to become complacent. They hadn’t taken any defensive measures to protect themselves. For them, any defensive method requires spiritual energy. Using spiritual energy for defense would greatly affect their offensive capabilities. Since they were staying at the back of the group, they figured no one would attack them, so they didn’t bother with any defense.

Little did they expect that Zhao Hai would immediately greet them with several fire thunderbolts. These beads posed a significant threat to cultivators at the Earth Monarch stage. Naturally, body cultivators can withstand such damage with their own bodies. However, it was evident that these black-robed figures were not body cultivators. On the contrary, because they practiced Yin-attribute techniques and relied heavily on artifacts for combat, their physical bodies were actually weaker than ordinary cultivators.

In such a case, several fire thunderbolts suddenly struck at them. Catching them completely off guard and unable to react in the slightest. Which resulted in them being instantly blown to death on the spot.

Upon seeing the five individuals blown to death, the members of the Ghost Blade Gang were stunned. They were well aware of the victims’ identities. While the five did not possess high cultivation levels, their backgrounds were far from ordinary. Any mishap happening to them spelled trouble for the Ghost Blade Gang as there would be no way to answer to the sect standing behind them.

Now that five people on their side had suddenly died, the people from the Ghost Blade Gang knew they were in deep trouble. Even if they managed to kill Zhao Hai and his group today, they would still face punishment from their sect upon their return.

While the enemy was stunned, Zhao Hai swung the iron mace in his hand repeatedly, striking down several more cultivators from the Ghost Blade Gang. Seizing the opportunity, Zhou Feng roared, “Brothers, charge! Don’t let these guys get away!” Instantly, the forty Forbidden Path Sect cultivators transformed into forty fierce tigers and surged forward in a powerful charge.

The cultivators of the Forbidden Path Sect are all body cultivators. Because of this, they place greater emphasis on their physical bodies which grants them superior endurance compared to ordinary cultivators. Furthermore, every inner sect disciple has undergone a year of ascetic training. And while their regimen may not have been as grueling as the year-long ordeal Zhao Hai endured, it undeniably tempered their willpower, enabling them to persevere longer than the average cultivator.

Moreover, having remained on the defensive, a stance that requires less energy than attacking, Zhou Feng and his group retained about eighty percent of their combat strength. On the other hand, the Ghost Blade Gang’s cultivators had been launching relentless assaults, leaving them with at most sixty percent of their combat strength. Furthermore, the Ghost Blade Gang members were inherently less skilled than the Forbidden Path Sect cultivators. Therefore, when the Forbidden Path Sect side suddenly surged with renewed force, the Ghost Blade Gang members immediately found themselves unable to hold their ground.

The battle quickly turned into a rout. Although the cultivators of the Ghost Blade Gang had initially intended to launch a counterattack, the sheer ferocity of the Forbidden Path Sect’s assault gave them no such opportunity. A single wave of attacks shattered their last shreds of confidence. Zhao Hai played a crucial role in this, using his pair of iron maces to slay over a dozen Ghost Blade Gang cultivators in an instant, effectively crushing the courage they had struggled to muster.

In the end, the Ghost Blade Gang cultivators tried to flee but Zhao Hai and his group denied them that chance. They gave chase and struck them down on the spot, one by one.

After killing the cultivators from the Ghost Blade Gang. Zhou Feng and others were too tired and couldn’t help but to sit on the ground and remain still. Zhao Hai also sat on the ground with everyone. He let out a long breath and said “We finally killed these bastards. Now we wait and see what they will do once we get out.”

Zhou Feng looked at Zhao Hai and asked in a grave voice, “Little Ling, will using that move just now have any adverse effects on you?”

Zhao Hai gave a faint smile and looked at Zhou Feng. “It seems you know about that move too, Brother Zhou. There are definitely consequences, it likely shaved a few years off my lifespan.”

Upon hearing Zhao Hai, Zhou Feng felt a surge of warmth. He knew that Zhao Hai must have paid a significant price. Looking at Zhao Hai, Zhou Feng said in a deep, earnest voice, “Brother, I will remember this favor.”

Zhao Hai waved his hand and said, “Forget it, Brother Zhou. We’re all brothers here. I couldn’t bear to see you die and then be exploited by others. But those guys in black, they look so much like the legendary ‘Ghost Cultivators,’ don’t they? They command undead and seem to rely primarily on artifacts for their attacks. Could they really be Ghost Cultivators?”

Zhou Feng shook his head and said, “That is impossible. They cannot be Ghost Cultivators. The Ghost Blade Gang wouldn’t dare collude with Ghost Cultivators. They must belong to an evil cultivation sect. We’ll head back to the battlefield in a moment to see if we can find any clues. However, judging by how nervous the Ghost Blade Gang members were about those individuals, their identities are clearly far from ordinary.”

Zhao Hai furrowed his brows and asked, “Are Evil Sect cultivators really that troublesome?”

Zhou Feng sighed and said, “There are three major powers in the True Spirit Realm: the Righteous Alliance, the Demonic Alliance, and the Evil Cultivator Alliance. Among them, the Righteous Alliance possesses the greatest strength and influence, followed by our Demonic Alliance. While we may not match the Righteous Alliance, we are somewhat stronger than the Evil Alliance. However, neither we nor the Righteous Alliance would dare to easily provoke the evil cultivators. Do you know why?”

Zhao Hai shook his head. Among the three major powers of the True Spirit Realm, the one he understood the least was the Evil Alliance. He had never had any contact with its members, and they, in turn, rarely interacted with the Righteous Alliance or the Demonic Alliance. Because of this, he truly had no idea what the situation was like within that alliance.

Zhou Feng sighed and said, “If you truly weigh their strength, the Evil Cultivator Alliance isn’t necessarily inferior to the Righteous Alliance. That alliance isn’t composed solely of ordinary human cultivators. It includes numerous demonic cultivators, reanimated corpses, and ghost cultivators, a veritable mix of all sorts. Although they are nominally an alliance, they don’t actually stand united. Infighting is a daily occurrence among them. However, there is one thing to note. If either our Demonic Alliance or the Righteous Alliance were to move against them, they would immediately band together and launch a ferocious counterattack.”

At this point, Zhou Feng sighed and said, “The methods used by those evil cultivators differ vastly from both our demonic arts and orthodox techniques. Their tactics are incredibly bizarre. Furthermore, they are notorious for holding grudges and fiercely protecting their own. Most importantly, they act entirely on impulse and care nothing for conventions like ‘face’. Even a mighty expert at the Space Breaking Realm might stoop to attacking a lowly cultivator at the Clone Stage. Once you offend them, they cling to you like a maggot to the bone, hounding you relentlessly until they have exacted their revenge. No one wishes to face such an enemy.”

Zhao Hai frowned and said, “So that means the cultivators who helped the Ghost Blade Gang this time are likely evil cultivators. And quite possibly from an evil sect? Does this mean we’ve offended that evil sect as well?”

Zhou Feng sighed and said, “Yeah, this is indeed a bit troublesome. Let’s not dwell too much on it. No matter how much those evil cultivators might want revenge, they can’t get into the Blood Demon Realm. Once we leave, we’ll report the matter immediately. I trust the sect won’t just stand by and do nothing.”

Zhao Hai furrowed his brow and said, “I heard back at the Blood Knife Gang that rumors are circulating outside claiming that our Demonic Alliance and the Evil Cultivator Alliance have joined forces to take on the Righteous Alliance. If our sect were to clash with the Ghost Blade Gang now, would that cause any trouble?”

Zhou Feng shook his head and said, “Don’t worry. To be honest, I don’t actually know if our Demonic Alliance has truly joined forces with the Evil Alliance, though it is a fact that the sect is looking to boost its strength right now. Anyway, let’s not dwell on it. Even if we knew the details, there’s nothing we could do to change the situation. Everyone, take a moment to rest. We’ll head back shortly to check for clues, then go straight to the Blood Pool. Our priority is securing that Demonic Blood first.”

Zhao Hai nodded and said, “We now know that the other brothers have met with unfortunate outcomes. We are the only ones left among those who came to the Blood Demon Realm. So, regardless of whether we succeed this time, we have to give it a try.”

Zhou Feng nodded and said, “Indeed. I never expected us to suffer such heavy losses this time. Fortunately, we acted quickly. Otherwise, we would all have been in grave danger. Ghost Blade Gang, I’ve marked this grudge down, and I certainly won’t let you off the hook.”

After taking a moment to regulate their breathing and administering healing medicine to the injured, the group returned to the battlefield by the River of Blood. The scene was a chaotic mess, littered with the corpses of Ghost Blade Gang cultivators. Zhou Feng directed the others to clear the battlefield and collect the spatial artifacts belonging to the fallen gang members, while he and Zhao Hai approached the five black-robed figures who had been killed by the fire thunderbolts.

All of those figures in black robes were completely dead. Three were struck directly by fire thunderbolts and were blown to pieces, leaving nothing recognizable behind. While the other two were killed by the shockwave of the explosion, leaving their bodies intact.

Zhao Hai pulled back the hoods of the two intact black-robed cultivators. He was stunned the moment he saw their faces. Both men had been completely disfigured. Their faces looked as though they had been scalded by boiling water. Their features were no longer distinguishable and their faces appeared to have completely melted away.

Just as Zhao Hai was puzzled, Zhou Feng suddenly spoke: “The Formless Sect, it turns out to be people from the Formless Sect.” There was a hint of anger in Zhou Feng’s tone, but it was overshadowed by a sense of wariness.

Zhao Hai was taken aback for a moment, then looked at Zhou Feng with a puzzled expression and asked, “Brother Zhou, you know where they came from?” He was well aware of Zhou Feng’s standing within the Forbidden Path Sect. He was essentially a candidate for core disciple status. So why would someone like him be so wary of the Formless Sect?

Zhou Feng took a deep breath to steady his emotions and said, “The Formless Sect is a major sect within the Evil Alliance. At the same time, it is the premier assassination organization of the True Spirit Realm. There is no mission they dare not accept, nor one they fail to complete. Once they take on a job, they will see it through to the end. Even if it means sacrificing the entire sect in the process. Over the years, countless cultivators, whether of the Righteous Path, the Demonic Path, the Evil Path, or the Demon-Beast clans, have perished at their hands, yet the Wuxiang Sect has remained at large all this time. Many have sought the location of their headquarters, but no one has ever found it. Both the Righteous Alliance and our Demonic Alliance have mobilized forces to hunt them down but we could never locate their lair, let alone launch a siege. To think that the Ghost Blade Gang actually managed to hire them this time… Damn it, we’re in big trouble.”
