Living In Another World With A Farm Chapter 8351: Excitement (1)

As Zhao Hai’s voice faded, a massive palm manifested above him. This colossal hand no longer resembled a skeletal ghost claw but appeared more human in form. Peculiarly, it was covered in a rotating array of countless runes and magic circles. Though the palm remained pitch black, it was adorned with numerous blood-red magic circles and runes, granting it an aura of mystery and strangeness.
At that moment, Fang Chengyu glared at Zhao Hai and sneered, "I never expected someone from the Bloody Massacre Sect to be familiar with the historical records of the Fang clan. Hahaha, but so what? Today, I will demonstrate the true power of our Fang clan’s Carefree Carpet. Watch closely—attack!" Following his command, he pointed toward the Carefree Carpet. It instantly expanded into a massive rug over ten meters long before rolling itself into a sturdy staff. The staff then swung violently toward Zhao Hai.
Zhao Hai waved his hand, sending the huge palm to intercept the blow. With a resounding boom, the palm collided with the staff, sending the latter tumbling back. The palm then returned to its position in front of Zhao Hai. He looked at Fang Chengyu and said with a light smile, "Your attack is merely average. You have nothing to be proud of."
Fang Chengyu’s expression soured further at these words. He let out a cold snort, "Brat, if you are seeking death, I will grant it. Take this!" He pointed at the carpet again, causing it to unfurl instantly. It began to spin rapidly as it flew toward Zhao Hai. The edges of the carpet were lined with array patterns that emitted a sharp golden glow. These arrays seemed incredibly keen, reflecting light with a cold, shimmering intensity that suggested they could cut through anything.
Zhao Hai snorted while watching the approaching carpet. With a wave of his hand, his massive palm clenched into a fist. As he punched forward, a humanoid magic formation appeared on the surface of the fist. This complex formation radiated golden light as the fist struck the carpet.
A loud explosion echoed as the carpet was once again repelled. The magic formation on the fist shattered upon impact, yet the fist itself remained undamaged. It drifted back to Zhao Hai's side. Zhao Hai stared coldly at Fang Chengyu, remaining silent.
Even without words, Zhao Hai’s gaze spoke volumes. Fang Chengyu understood exactly what that look meant: pure disdain. This realization infuriated him, yet he also began to feel a creeping fear toward Zhao Hai.
Fang Chengyu was well aware that while he hadn't used his full power, he had exerted 60% in the first strike and 80% in the second. Despite this, Zhao Hai had neutralized both attacks with ease. As a cultivator in the Refinement Realm, Fang Chengyu was shocked that Zhao Hai, who was only in the Profound Cultivation Realm, possessed such formidable strength.
Zhao Hai sneered at Fang Chengyu, "What, is that the extent of your abilities? With such pathetic strength, you dare to come to my Bloody Massacre Sect and act so brazenly? I believe you are tired of living!" Zhao Hai then waved his hand and shouted, "Soldiers!" He quickly formed the Great Vajra Wheel Seal with his fingers. His massive palm transformed into a fist once more and lunged toward Fang Chengyu.
This time, four magic formations rotated around the edges of the fist, adding to its mysterious aura. Fang Chengyu’s face paled slightly upon seeing the attack. He snorted and gestured, causing the carpet to move in front of him like a shield. Simultaneously, the patterns on the carpet ignited. These patterns were actually a sophisticated array group. They spun rapidly, appearing even more intricate and profound than the attacking fist.
BOOM! The fist slammed into the carpet. The rug trembled slightly but successfully blocked the strike. Having missed its mark, the fist retreated to hover above Zhao Hai. Zhao Hai studied the carpet with genuine interest. After a moment, he remarked, "Not bad at all. You have actually developed an array group. It seems the Fang clan has invested significant effort into this. However, it is a shame you never grasped the true essence of the Spiritual Array Sect. No wonder your Fang clan remains a mere clan rather than a Sect."
Zhao Hai pointed upward and commanded, "Transform!" At his word, the giant palm twisted in the air, reshaping itself into a towering figure. The entity was entirely black except for its piercing blood-red eyes. Numerous red magic arrays rotated across its body, giving the figure an eerie and chilling appearance.
Once the tall figure manifested, it let out a heaven-shaking roar and lunged at Fang Chengyu. Fang Chengyu’s expression shifted the moment he saw the giant and its arrays. With a flick of his wrist, the carpet flew before him to act as a shield once more. The arrays on the carpet shifted again, but in a unique way. While the individual arrays remained the same, their sequence changed, creating an entirely different magic formation. As the order shifted, the formation’s function transformed. A massive beam of sword light erupted from the formation, coalescing into a giant sword in mid-air. This great sword then swung directly at the dark figure.
The sword was immense, matching the ten-meter height of the giant figure. As the blade slashed through the air, the local temperature plummeted. This sword clearly possessed elemental attributes.
The dark figure reacted by raising its left arm to block. A complex, spinning magic array appeared on its forearm, serving as a shield against the strike.
The sword collided with the array with a thunderous bang before vanishing. The onlookers were stunned by the aftermath. Half of the giant’s body had been severed by the blade. Although the sword was gone, the giant remained. It let out another roar, and before everyone’s eyes, its body began to slowly regenerate.
Fang Chengyu’s face twisted in shock. He hadn't expected the giant to have regenerative properties. He didn't hesitate, however. With a sharp cry, the array on the carpet split into two. Two sword lights—one blue and one red—shot out, forming a pair of dual-colored blades that hacked at the giant.
The giant roared again at the sight of the incoming blades. It threw its fists forward to meet the two sword lights. Following a massive explosion, the sword light and the elemental energy dissipated. The giant’s arms were destroyed in the blast, but they regrew almost instantly as it continued its charge toward Fang Chengyu.
Fang Chengyu finally looked rattled. He had not anticipated the giant would be so difficult to kill. The fact that it could regenerate its arrays as if it were immortal was terrifying. He moved his hands again, causing the array group on the carpet to shift once more. A massive formation took shape, launching countless sword lights. These lights merged into a spiraling Sword Light Storm that engulfed the giant. In an instant, the giant was shredded and vanished completely.
With the giant gone, Fang Chengyu snorted and turned his attention back to Zhao Hai. "Brat, you’re next." He waved his hand, and the array formation prepared to launch the same Sword Light Storm at Zhao Hai.
Zhao Hai simply smiled at him. "Interesting, truly fascinating. Your approach to array development is entirely different from my own. I categorize arrays into fixed groups with specific functions. You, however, change the group itself. Your array group has numerous combinations where most arrays serve as support, and only a few take the lead. By changing which array is dominant, the entire function of the formation shifts. This single group can provide defense, transformation, ice giants, dual elemental swords, or a sword storm. There are likely other variations I haven't seen yet. You’ve used the fluidity of one group to achieve what I require several groups for. Brilliant, truly brilliant. Hahaha! It seems the world is full of geniuses with unique perspectives. When pushed to the limit, these ideas become a path of Cultivation. This is wonderful." Zhao Hai laughed heartily, appearing completely at ease.
Fang Chengyu’s expression darkened. He was shocked that Zhao Hai had deciphered the secret of the Fang clan’s magical equipment so quickly. For generations, no one had seen through their mechanics. People knew the Fang clan’s tools were versatile, but no one understood the underlying logic. For Zhao Hai to figure it out so easily was deeply unsettling.
Observing Fang Chengyu’s reaction, Zhao Hai smiled and continued, "I have always been interested in the techniques of the Spiritual Array Sect. Since your clan’s methods are derived from them, it isn't hard to guess that your Cultivation techniques share the same versatility as your equipment. This is truly exciting. I simply must have a look at your Fang clan’s secret techniques."
