Living In Another World With A Farm Chapter 8352: Exterminated _1

Fang Chengyu’s expression darkened considerably upon hearing Zhao Hai’s remark. He let out a cold snort and spoke in a heavy tone, "If you desire to witness the cultivation methods of our Fang clan, you will have to wait for your next life." With a sharp wave of his hand, he summoned a torrent of sword Qi that coalesced into a violent storm, surging toward Zhao Hai.

“The next life is far too distant; I believe this life is much more suitable,” Zhao Hai chuckled. As he spoke, his hands moved fluidly to form the sun seal. He shouted, “Forward!” and a massive palm materialized once more, striking directly at the swirling sword Qi storm.

A sneer formed on Fang Chengyu’s face, only to freeze an instant later. The colossal palm slammed into the sword Qi tornado, which dissipated like a gust of wind hitting a solid wall. Stunned by the sudden disappearance of his attack, Fang Chengyu stood in shock, unable to comprehend what had occurred.

Zhao Hai looked at him with a calm smile and said, “An offensive generated by a formation is merely a variation of a spell. Did you truly believe such a strike was invincible? Regardless, I should thank you, as your move provided me with a significant inspiration. However, I must apologize; I have never spared anyone who dares to attack my Bloody Massacre Sect. Therefore, your only destination is death!” Zhao Hai shifted his hands into the Fudo seal and roared, “Lin!”

At the sound of Zhao Hai’s voice, a multitude of palms manifested behind him in dense layers, giving him the appearance of a Thousand-Handed Guanyin. These hands were all unique; some gripped various Dharma artifacts like demon-subduing Vajras, long swords, sabers, heavy hammers, and treasure bottles, while others featured eyes or rotated intricate magical formations.

With a single gesture from Zhao Hai, the array of palms launched a simultaneous assault. His targets included not just Fang Chengyu, but every cultivator who had accompanied him. Caught off guard by a single man’s audacity to attack their entire group, the cultivators fell into a momentary panic.

Zhao Hai remained stationary, maintaining the Fudo seal. As the palms reached the enemy ranks, the cultivators scrambled to defend themselves. While those in the Art Refinement realm managed to parry the blows, the Essence realm cultivators were utterly overwhelmed. They were crushed beneath the massive palms, vanishing entirely as the golden hands dissipated.

In this single exchange, Zhao Hai wiped out nearly eighty percent of the enemy force. Fang Chengyu, who had barely managed to block the strike, turned pale with rage. He bellowed, “You dare!” and summoned his carpet to the front. The magical formation etched into the fabric glowed with a five-colored light, manifesting five long swords. Instead of flying out, the blades hovered at the edge of the formation, spinning at a terrifying speed. With the carpet protecting him, Fang Chengyu charged directly at Zhao Hai.

Observing the charge, Zhao Hai gave a thin smile. “Intriguing. The Fang clan’s Unfettered Carpet is indeed a remarkable treasure. Hahaha, it is a shame I didn't allow them to deploy that massive version, or we might have faced some actual trouble.” Zhao Hai waved his hand, creating another large palm that instantly reshaped itself into a giant blade. He pointed forward and commanded, “Slash!”

The enormous saber swung toward Fang Chengyu. With a grim expression, Fang Chengyu funneled his mana into the carpet. The artifact’s radiance intensified, extending the five-colored sword light as it collided with the descending blade. A thunderous boom echoed as the two forces clashed. Neither the saber nor the sword light shattered, but the impact forced the saber back and sent Fang Chengyu reeling. A faint mark from the saber was now visible on the surface of his Unfettered Carpet.

Fang Chengyu was visibly shaken. He had not anticipated Zhao Hai’s strike to be so potent. Despite its soft appearance, the Unfettered Carpet was a masterpiece of craftsmanship, created by weaving forty-nine layers of specialized threads integrated with countless arrays. In the Blood Sea Realm, the Fang clan’s carpets were renowned as unique, versatile, and nearly indestructible magic artifacts due to their protective formations.

The fact that a single slash from Zhao Hai had marred it was shocking. Fang Chengyu realized that while the blade was technically a product of a palm-based incantation, its power was terrifying. He finally understood why Zhao Hai was feared as the Blood Spirit Ghost Hand; his mastery of handprints was truly extraordinary.

By this time, the surviving Art Refinement and Profound Cultivation realm cultivators had recovered and huddled around Fang Chengyu. Zhao Hai did not interfere, watching them silently as they regrouped.

Once they were gathered, Zhao Hai ceased his immediate attacks and looked at Fang Chengyu. “What is the matter? Do you intend to use that large Unfettered Carpet? I will not say I didn't give you the opportunity. Go ahead and try it; I wish to see its true power.”

Fang Chengyu’s face was ashen, but he commanded through gritted teeth, “Set the formation!” At his word, the other cultivators took their pre-assigned positions on the carpet. By standing in these specific spots, they could simultaneously pour their magic power into the artifact to bolster its strength.

Zhao Hai smiled at their preparations. He then formed an inner binding seal and shouted, “Formation!” Suddenly, countless yellow silk threads erupted from beneath the cultivators' feet. These threads climbed silently to their necks before anyone could react. With a sudden, violent jerk, the threads tightened, decapitating everyone instantly—including Fang Chengyu.

Fang Chengyu had fundamentally misjudged Zhao Hai. He believed Zhao Hai would actually wait for them to activate the larger carpet. However, Zhao Hai was not the type to take unnecessary risks. A fully powered carpet fueled by the collective strength of many cultivators could have been a genuine threat, potentially forcing him to retreat.

Zhao Hai had no intention of letting the enemy turn the tables. His offer to let them use the large Unfettered Carpet was merely a ruse to make them drop their guard. He was far too pragmatic to be blinded by pride.

The enemies had expected Zhao Hai to act with the typical arrogance of a powerful expert, waiting for their best move. Because of this assumption, they left themselves vulnerable and were executed in a single stroke.

Zhao Hai hadn't used this technique initially because it required hidden preparation and time to set up. He had waited for the perfect moment to wipe them all out at once.

Fang Chengyu and his men never suspected that Zhao Hai could infiltrate the carpet’s defenses. The Unfettered Carpet possessed a defensive array designed to detect any intruding object immediately.

However, Zhao Hai’s method was unconventional. The yellow threads originated from the copper sword beneath him. These threads were launched with their energy completely suppressed, making them undetectable. Because they carried no spiritual signature upon contact, the copper sword’s formation spirit was able to gradually interface with and bypass the carpet’s defensive arrays without triggering an alarm.

The enemies were entirely ignorant of the nature of the massive sword Zhao Hai stood upon. Though it appeared to be made of simple copper, it was forged from rare materials and governed by a sophisticated formation spirit. This spirit allowed Zhao Hai to subtly hijack the carpet's functions, preventing the defensive arrays from alerting the Fang clan members to the lethal threads at their feet.

With the threat neutralized, Zhao Hai smiled and waved his hand, storing the corpses within his medium. The copper sword then extended metallic chains to snag the discarded Unfettered Carpets, pulling them toward a hatch that opened on the sword's surface. Once the treasures were inside, the opening sealed seamlessly.

Zhao Hai turned toward Yan Bei, who was standing behind him, and smiled. “Big Brother Yan, let us return. We must send word to the commander to check if they have been targeted and to report our success here. If they haven't been hit yet, they need to prepare for potential trouble.”
