Bringing The Farm To Live In Another World Chapter 2266: Blood Escape Technique

Zhao Hai was noticed by the black-robed cultivator, who clearly failed to recognize him. Upon seeing Zhao Hai’s vacant stare, the man let out a freezing snort. Without hesitation, he lifted his arm and aimed a finger directly at Zhao Hai.

The surrounding Qi underwent a violent transformation, accompanied by the sudden roar of thunder and whistling wind. This wasn't a mere gesture; the black-robed cultivator intended to end Zhao Hai’s life right then and there.

Witnessing the sudden assault, Zhao Hai’s expression shifted instantly. A chilling light flickered in his eyes as he let out a cold snort of his own. Drawing his blade in a swift motion, he swung the weapon toward the incoming finger attack.

The black-robed cultivator watched the counterattack and sneered, "You overestimate your own capabilities!"

Boom! The two forces clashed violently. The cultivator’s eyes widened in shock when he saw Zhao Hai actually split his finger attack apart. With a darkening expression, he pointed at Zhao Hai a second time, bellowing, "Windthunder finger, eradicate!" Following his roar, the Qi of wind and thunder surged in intensity. Zhao Hai felt as though he were a solitary tree caught in a fierce gale, threatened with being uprooted at any moment.

This sensation wasn't caused by actual physical winds, but was a psychological pressure. This was a form of spiritual suppression fueled by the power of the Teleportation Realm. Upon reaching the Teleportation Realm, a cultivator's strikes can embody the will of heaven and earth. By infusing the laws of wind and thunder into his technique, the black-robed man forced Zhao Hai to feel as if he were trapped in the heart of a storm.

However, the black-robed cultivator had gravely miscalculated Zhao Hai's tenacity. Having slaughtered countless millions and ascended to a godlike status, Zhao Hai possessed a Dao Heart of absolute iron. The idea that a mere spiritual strike could shatter his resolve was nothing more than a fantasy for the black-robed man.

Confronted by the reinforced attack, Zhao Hai snorted and shouted, "Heavenly Demon Seven Killing Blades, Behead!" As the words left his lips, his blade took on the immense weight of a stellar sea. The weapon erupted with a golden radiance before slicing ruthlessly toward the man's finger.

Boom! An even more powerful explosion echoed through the air. The force pushed Zhao Hai back several steps, but the black-robed man fared much worse. Since he was suspended in mid-air, the impact sent him reeling backward nearly a kilometer.

Though the black-robed cultivator eventually stabilized himself, he couldn't stop from coughing up blood. His eyes were wide with pure disbelief. He found it impossible to accept that he had been repelled by someone like Zhao Hai.

The man was genuinely rattled, as such a thing had never occurred before. While he had sustained injuries during his clash with the ape, they weren't crippling, and he had kept them under control. Furthermore, Zhao Hai was merely a Soul Fusion Cultivator. In his mind, no matter how talented Zhao Hai appeared, there was still a gap of two major realms between them. To a Teleportation Expert, those at the Soul Fusion stage were insignificant; a single finger should have been enough to erase them.

Yet, Zhao Hai had not only survived the encounter but had managed to aggravate the cultivator’s existing wounds. The injuries he had been suppressing were now flaring up again.

The black-robed man stared at Zhao Hai as if he were looking at a ghost, his face etched with terror. Zhao Hai merely snorted and waved his hand, shouting once more, "Heavenly Demon Seven Killing Blades, Behead!" His blade gleamed again as he launched another strike. The cultivator’s face turned pale at the sight. His internal damage was on the verge of spiraling out of control; if he continued this duel, the consequences would be dire.

With that thought, the black-robed cultivator scrambled to evade the incoming blade. He quickly realized his mistake, however. Zhao Hai’s blade light was not only incredibly fast but possessed a homing quality that tracked his movements.

The streak of light curved through the air, pursuing the cultivator. Caught off guard by a technique he had never seen, he was unable to dodge and took the hit directly. Unprepared for the impact, the shock caused him to spray another mouthful of blood.

Zhao Hai was actually holding back his true power. Under normal circumstances, he wouldn't have been able to make a Teleportation Realm expert bleed so easily. However, because the man had already been battered by the Strong Ape, his condition was rapidly deteriorating.

Zhao Hai observed the scene with shimmering eyes. He wasn't actually planning to kill the man, as doing so might reveal his hidden strength. The residual Qi left behind by such a high-level execution would be a dead giveaway of his true power. While he could potentially scrub the battlefield of all Qi traces, doing so would only make him look more suspicious. Thus, he decided to let the man live.

Still, the fact that the black-robed cultivator was vomiting blood after only three exchanges signaled a major vulnerability. His wounds were clearly deeper than they seemed. Zhao Hai saw no reason to let the opportunity pass; since he didn't have to go all out, he wouldn't hold back his current level of aggression.

As the black-robed man’s face grew increasingly ghostly, he saw Zhao Hai raising his blade once more. Desperate, the cultivator yelled, "Brat, I will remember this disgrace! Just you wait!" He then spat out a deliberate mouthful of blood.

Using the fresh blood, the cultivator’s hands moved in a blur to trace complex symbols in the air. Once a massive glowing array formed, he hissed, "Blood Escape Technique." The formation erupted in a crimson light, and when the glow faded, the black-robed man had vanished completely.

Zhao Hai’s final strike hit nothing but air, yet he wasn't bothered. He looked toward the spot where the man had disappeared and whispered, "Blood Escape Technique? That’s a signature move of the Evil Blood Sect. So he’s a devil cultivator? How curious. A devil cultivator infiltrating the Forbidden Path Sect’s lands to hunt for a Bloodless Command Token... I wonder how the Forbidden Path Sect would feel about that." With a faint smirk, he sheathed his blade and vanished using a movement technique.

Zhao Hai recognized the technique because the Evil Blood Sect was a notorious devil cultivation organization within the True Spirit Realm. He was also aware of their significant role in the alliance between Demon and Devil Cultivators.

Finding out the Evil Blood Sect was after the Bloodless Command Token was a valuable piece of information. If this news reached the Forbidden Path Sect, it would likely stir up trouble.

The Forbidden Path Sect wasn't the only group with access to the Demon Blood Realm; other sects held quotas as well. However, those were primarily demonic sects, not those from the devil faction. If the Evil Blood Sect was trying to force their way in, it could drive a wedge between the Demonic and Devil alliances.

Zhao Hai suspected that the black-robed man hadn't come specifically for the token, given how little money he had. The Evil Blood Sect was a massive organization; if they were officially pursuing the item, they would have provided ample funds. It was more likely that the man was on other business for the sect and tried his luck at the auction on a whim. Based on his gear, he was likely an inner sect disciple.

Ultimately, none of this mattered to Zhao Hai personally. He just needed to ensure the Forbidden Path Sect "accidentally" learned of this. What they chose to do with that knowledge wasn't his concern.

Zhao Hai moved cautiously toward Strong Ape Mountain. He knew better than to charge in immediately after such a massive disturbance. The Strong Apes would be on high alert, and the risk of being spotted was too great.

Since the Strong Apes were notoriously hostile toward humans, negotiation was out of the question. These weren't mindless rocks he could easily communicate with using his infinity technique. While he was skilled at talking to inanimate objects, his ability to influence intelligent beasts like these was still lacking.

Despite their reputation for being simple-minded, the Strong Apes possessed a degree of cunning. Subduing a sapient creature that already hated humans would be a massive challenge for Zhao Hai.

Furthermore, the Strong Ape tribe was led by Teleportation Stage powerhouses. Such beings possessed formidable spiritual force. Even though apes focused on physical Cultivation, reaching the Teleportation Stage naturally boosted their mental faculties several times over, granting them human-level intellect.

If Zhao Hai attempted to use his Infinity Technique on them, the resulting spiritual fluctuations would almost certainly be detected by the Teleportation Stage leaders. A Strong Ape at that level was far more dangerous than a human counterpart. If he were caught, he’d be hunted relentlessly, likely forcing him to drop his facade and reveal his full power.

Because of these risks, Zhao Hai was extremely guarded as he approached the mountain's base. He stopped his advance the moment he spotted several Strong Apes perched in the trees. These particular apes were only about two meters tall and didn't look especially imposing, resembling common black monkeys more than legendary beasts.
