Living In Another World With A Farm Chapter 8327 - 304-defeated in seconds _1

Wu Hong’s forehead was drenched in perspiration. Staring at Zhao Hai, who still bore the physical likeness of Wu Hao, his eyes nearly bulged from their sockets. He stammered out, "Elder, Hao’er is presently in seclusion. I truly have no idea what is happening." Wu Hong was genuinely ignorant; Wu Hao had claimed he was entering a period of deep cultivation that must not be interrupted. Consequently, the family remained unaware that Zhao Hai had departed long ago.

Zhao Hai fixed his gaze on Wu Hong and spoke with a resonant voice, "Uncle Hong, there is no need for such shock. I mentioned I would return to the quiet room after my closed-door training, but I actually left that room and headed back to Blood Drop Island. It is only natural that you were kept in the dark. In truth, Wu Hao perished a long time ago. I released a demonic beast to strike him down. Once he was dead, I performed a soul-searching technique on him to claim all his memories. Afterward, I allowed the demonic beast to injure me and took the life-prolonging golden pill from Wu Hao's person. Using his identity, I then infiltrated Blood Shadow Island."

Having finished his explanation, Zhao Hai’s form shifted, and he reverted to his true appearance. He cupped his fists toward Bai Xin and said, "This disciple has concluded his demonstration. I wonder if the Elder is satisfied with this result?" After speaking, Zhao Hai stepped back slightly behind Du Wan Sha, falling silent.

Du Wan Sha glanced at Zhao Hai with a look of approval before turning his attention to Bai Xin. "Bai Xin, is it clear to you now?" he asked. "To be perfectly honest, Zhao Hai possesses remarkable patience. He actually waited for over three months before striking. You should be satisfied. Enough chatter—prepare to meet your end!" With those words, Du Wan Sha’s hand blurred as he swung the Killing God Blade forward in a powerful downward arc.

With a thunderous explosion, the barrier was shredded by Du Wan Sha’s blade as though it were mere paper. A massive wave of blade Qi surged toward Bai Xin, moving with incredible speed and carrying an absolute, crushing killing intent. This intent manifested physically, transforming into a colossal beam of blade light that hurtled directly at Bai Xin.

Bai Xin’s face paled instantly. With a flick of his wrist, a long saber appeared in his grasp. Raising the weapon, he roared, "Open!" He intended to parry the strike, fully aware that flight was not an option. He was well-acquainted with Du Wan Sha’s prowess; though the move appeared straightforward, it was perfectly locked onto his aura, making evasion impossible.

Furthermore, Bai Xin realized that because the Killing God Blade had been stolen, he was unable to exert his maximum power. Trapped in this position, he chose to stand his ground. Despite knowing the terrifying reputation of the Killing God Blade, he maintained confidence in his own weapon. Having wielded it for countless years, he believed he could withstand Du Wan Sha’s assault.

However, he had clearly underestimated the true might of the Blood Slaughter Sect’s supreme treasures. While the Killing God Blade was not the absolute strongest artifact of the sect, it was widely considered the second most powerful without dispute. Usually, the people of the Blood Slaughter Sect did not wield the Blood Slaughter Blade. In past conflicts with rival Sects, they would only summon the Killing God Blade for significant battles requiring medium or large-scale magic treasures. The Blood Slaughter Blade itself had only been deployed once—during the very battle where the Killing God Blade was lost.

In that ancient conflict, the Killing God Blade was lost when its wielder, an Elder, fell in battle. To turn the tide, the Blood Slaughter Sect unleashed the Blood Slaughter Blade, crushing their enemies in a single stroke. This display proved to everyone that the Blood Slaughter Blade was superior to the treasures of the God-Slaying Sect. It wasn't just a myth; it was a proven fact.

Since that era, the Killing God Blade had remained lost and unused for many years. Although Bai Xin had brandished it previously, he had only recently acquired it and was unwilling to risk his life in a true struggle against the Blood Slaughter Sect, so he had never pushed it to its limits. He remained ignorant of its true potential. This time, however, Du Wan Sha held nothing back, channeling his full cultivation into the Killing God Blade as he struck at Bai Xin.

With no way to retreat, Bai Xin could only raise his saber to meet the blow. A sharp "shua" sound echoed as the blade sliced through his defenses. Bai Xin froze, the light in his eyes dimming rapidly. Then, both his long saber and his physical body were cleaved perfectly in two from head to toe, collapsing to the earth.

The result left everyone stunned. A powerhouse of Bai Xin’s caliber had failed to survive even a single strike from Du Wan Sha. Even Du Wan Sha himself was momentarily taken aback. He stared at the Killing God Blade for a second before his eyes flashed with excitement. He let out a loud laugh and commanded, "Attack! Leave no one alive on Blood Shadow Island. Wipe them all out!" He swung his blade again as the rest of his forces charged. These were all Island Lord level experts, and the defenders of Blood Shadow Island were scrambling to mount a counter-offensive.

By this time, Zhao Hai had already pulled back, guiding the disciples of Blood Drop Island back toward the Blood Sea. Meanwhile, disciples from other islands swarmed Blood Shadow Island. As this was formerly Bai Xin’s domain, it was filled with treasures, and they were eager to claim the spoils of war.

Du Wan Sha remained stationary, standing atop the massive copper sword and scanning the area, only to realize Zhao Hai was gone. He looked toward Ha Jing in confusion. "Where is Zhao Hai? Did he join the raid on the island? He has truly earned a massive merit this time. Without his earlier performance, Bai Xin would not have fallen so easily to one strike. It was Zhao Hai who shattered Bai Xin’s Dao heart, allowing me to finish him. We must ensure nothing happens to that boy; his contribution is immense." Du Wan Sha held Zhao Hai in high regard, recognizing that the young man had served the Blood Slaughter Sect well. If not for the theft of the Killing God Blade and the psychological blow dealt to Bai Xin, the battle would have been far more difficult.

Ha Jing looked at Du Wan Sha and gave a small smile. "Do not fret, he did not go onto the island. He has gone elsewhere. Hehehe, that lad is quite resourceful. He discovered several clandestine bases located outside the main island. There are people there researching metal puppets, and he is currently leading his men to seize them."

Du Wan Sha and Ha Jing stayed behind, as their personal intervention on the island was unnecessary. Although there were Island Lord level combatants among the enemy, they were no match for the two Elders. The pair sat calmly atop the copper sword, observing the chaos. Du Wan Sha even sheathed the Killing God Blade; such a potent magic weapon drained a significant amount of Qi to maintain. It was because of the weapon's terrifying power that an Elder like Bai Xin could be slain in a single blow. Safe in their superiority, the two elders began to converse.

Upon hearing Ha Jing's mention of the puppets, Du Wan Sha’s expression shifted. "Metal puppets? Could they be the legendary metal puppets of the Divine Secrets Sect?" His eyes shimmered with intensity as he looked at Ha Jing, clearly intrigued by the prospect of such technology.

Ha Jing shook his head. "It is not yet confirmed, but those families retrieved those items from a hidden secret realm. We will know more once the realm is secured. Zhao Hai is currently raiding those locations, and I have faith in his success. Rest easy."

Du Wan Sha nodded, then turned back to Ha Jing, speaking in a low tone. "Even though that boy is only your grand-disciple in name, I noticed his mastery of incantation gestures is excellent. It appears he has inherited your core teachings? Tell me, do you intend for him to be your successor?" Du Wan Sha knew that despite Ha Jing’s immense power, he had struggled to find a disciple capable of truly mastering his complex incantation techniques.

Zhao Hai had utilized those very gestures earlier. Although his cultivation was still relatively low, and he used them for utility rather than direct attack, Du Wan Sha’s sharp eyes had caught the nuance. He could tell that Zhao Hai’s grasp of the art was profound, perhaps even exceeding that of Ha Jing’s senior disciples.

Ha Jing responded with a somewhat bitter smile. "Believe it or not, Zhao Hai’s handprints differ from my own. While I provided the instruction through a few Jade Slips, the rest he realized through his own meditation. This boy is an anomaly. He claims to have been a powerhouse in the lower realm with vast cultivation experience, but many have ascended from below. Usually, they peak at the Island Lord level. But with him, I cannot see the limit. He absorbs knowledge at an incredible rate, taking what you teach and refining it to suit himself. Though he calls them by the same names, the complexity of his incantation gestures has already surpassed my own."

Du Wan Sha was momentarily stunned, but his eyes soon gleamed with hope. "Do you believe Zhao Hai can reach the Island Lord level smoothly if he persists? If he attains that rank, with your mantra emblems as his foundation, wouldn't our Blood Slaughter Sect gain another powerhouse on par with us?" This was Du Wan Sha’s primary concern. The recent internal strife had cost the sect dearly. Whether or not Yin Wuchang survived, the sect was losing two of its eight Great Elders, and the loss of Island Lords was even more staggering. He desperately wanted to see new experts rise.

Ha Jing lowered his voice. "Zhao Hai is practicing the Blood Sea God-Killing Technique, which is a point of great anxiety for me. Although he insists he is fine and that the technique won't backfire, I remain concerned. If he can remain stable through the Dharma cultivation realm and eventually become an Island Lord, then our Blood Slaughter Sect will indeed have a new pillar. His future potential might even eclipse our own—not just in rank, but in raw strength!"
