Living In Another World With A Farm Chapter 8471: Divine armament (1)

The cluster of dark mist in the sky continuously shifted its form. Simultaneously, a humming noise filled the air. A closer inspection revealed that this dark mist consisted of tiny insects. Each insect was roughly the size of an ant, with pitch-black bodies. They sported four wings on their backs and possessed massive mouthparts. A single glance showed their formidable offensive capabilities. Moreover, the humming they produced disrupted the minds of listeners. Anyone hearing it felt a wave of nausea.

Upon spotting Zhao Hai, the insects acted as if they had discovered a tempting feast. They surged toward him. While flying, these insects altered their formations repeatedly. They morphed into a hand-like shape, then into a massive bird. The spectacle was utterly bizarre.

Observing this, Zhao Hai recognized these insects as top-tier specimens. He couldn't suppress a chuckle. "Good, today I'll test the insect control methods from the Poisonous Insect Valley. Divine Secrets finger!" With that, he extended his finger and pointed. A translucent Qi-Jin resembling a solid finger shot from his hand, racing directly at the insects. This finger-sized Qi-Jin appeared plain and unremarkable, leaving Wen Liyi baffled.

Yet, Wen Liyi let out a cold huff. "Playing tricks. Let's see what you've got." He formed a sequence of hand seals, causing the insects' speed to surge dramatically. At that instant, Zhao Hai's Divine Secrets finger plunged into the insect swarm. Though it was merely a small finger, it seemed minuscule against the swarm spanning nearly a hundred square meters—like an ant challenging an elephant.

Suddenly, Zhao Hai declared, "Divine Secrets finger, Pear Blossom storm!" As his words echoed, the finger began to shine. Innumerable light specks, akin to grains of sand, erupted from it and assaulted the insects.

Wen Liyi's face twisted in alarm at the sight. He hastily altered his hand signs and yelled, "Spiritual Gu shield!" With his command, the legendary venomous insects abruptly parted their mouths, expelling a green glow. Once out, the glow swiftly formed a compact green barrier, enveloping every legendary venomous insect inside. At the same time, the clear energy from Zhao Hai's Divine Secrets finger struck the swarm.

A deafening crash resounded, sending hordes of legendary venomous insects plummeting from above. Their barrier failed to endure the impact from Zhao Hai's Divine Secrets finger, resulting in the instant demise of the insects. Zhao Hai's Divine Secrets finger drew from trap mechanism arts. As it launched, the force drew in ambient energy to bolster itself. His Pear Blossom storm proved even more devastating. This move stemmed from trap mechanisms, inspired by the renowned Torrential Pear Blossom needle array. It bore an elegant title, yet the mechanism itself was ruthlessly overpowering. Housed in a compact cylindrical container, each held three hundred slender needles. When triggered, it blanketed a tens-of-meters radius around the user. Due to their fineness, these needles excelled at shattering diverse defenses, displaying unmatched dominance.

Zhao Hai's finger technique mimicked the firing of the Torrential Pear Blossom needles. The finger force absorbed nearby spiritual Qi to amplify its power en route. Upon hitting a foe, it detonated abruptly. Myriad minuscule, needle-shaped Qi-Jin then bombarded the target directly. It brimmed with destructive force. Additionally, the tiny Qi-Jin proved highly effective against all sorts of barriers.

Though Wen Liyi's legendary venomous insects held some strength, they weren't exceptional. He ranked as a mere average legacy disciple in the Poisonous Insect Valley. Establishing his own group was beyond him; he survived under the protection of stronger legacy disciples. Thus, his legendary venomous insects were nothing special. The barrier they produced was similarly underwhelming. Against typical minor Qi-Jin, it would hold firm without issue. But facing Zhao Hai's Torrential Pear Blossom force, it crumbled. This single strike halved the insect numbers.

Wen Liyi's face paled sharply upon seeing half the insect cloud vanish. He hadn't anticipated such potency from Zhao Hai's finger. Right then, Zhao Hai unleashed another finger strike. Terror gripped Wen Liyi even more. He had invested immense effort raising these legendary venomous insects. Losing them here would spell disaster. Because of that, he switched his incantation and growled deeply, "Scatter!"

At his order, the legendary venomous insects scattered, diluting the insect cloud. Gaps widened between them. Should Zhao Hai's finger force hit the swarm as before, it would claim far fewer lives. Wen Liyi exhaled in relief.

But then Zhao Hai's voice cut through. "Divine Secrets finger, goddess scattering flowers!" As he uttered it, the newly launched Divine Secrets finger force burst apart. The explosion mimicked a heavenly maiden dispersing blossoms, radiating outward in every direction and spanning a vast expanse.

Wen Liyi's eyes bulged in shock at the unfolding chaos. He bellowed, "No!" He tried to weave a spell guiding the legendary venomous insects to flee, but before any action took hold, the Qi force ravaged the swarm. Masses of the spared insects tumbled down. Only a pitiful handful remained, utterly ineffective. Furthermore, these legendary venomous insects possessed basic intelligence and knew fear. Freed from Wen Liyi's command, they fled chaotically. Clearly, they had been utterly terrified.

Zhao Hai ignored the fleeing legendary venomous insects. He turned his gaze to Wen Liyi with a mocking grin. "Divine Secrets finger, Rolling Stones like thunder!" As he pointed, the finger force rumbled through the air with thunderous booms. It resembled an enormous boulder tumbling relentlessly ahead, pulverizing anything in its path.

Wen Liyi's features contorted upon witnessing the finger's might. He snorted and flicked his wrist. "Golden Bee stabs!" At his call, a golden bee materialized overhead. Crafted entirely from gold, it gleamed with stunning beauty. Yet, a razor-sharp stinger protruded from its rear. The stinger aimed forward, unleashing a golden beam straight at Zhao Hai's Divine Secrets finger.

A thunderous explosion erupted as the finger force met the stinger. A clear puncture formed in the finger force's center, though it didn't vanish. It pressed on toward Wen Liyi. Imagine a massive boulder rolling forth, struck by a potent, focused blow— a hole pierces it, perhaps with fissures nearby. But if the boulder is vast enough, it endures and continues its charge.

Zhao Hai's Divine Secrets finger originated from mechanism arts. The Rolling Stones method was a basic yet tyrannical technique among them. It lacked elaborate variations, relying on sheer momentum to overwhelm foes. Thus, the finger force mirrored a rolling stone. That explained why, despite the hole, it bore down on Wen Liyi.

Wen Liyi hadn't foreseen the odd resilience of Zhao Hai's finger. As it closed in, his face drained of color. "Golden Bee wings!" The golden bee above him beat its wings vigorously. This propelled Wen Liyi and the bee backward about five zhang, evading the finger.

Yet, as they halted, Zhao Hai's voice rang out again. "Divine Secrets finger, cloud piercing arrow!" With his gesture, a finger force streaked toward Wen Liyi like a bolt from a bow. Its speed was blistering, akin to a true arrowhead. The timing was impeccable—right when Wen Liyi's energy was depleted, before he could muster fresh power. He had no chance to evade; the finger force reached him instantly.

Pfft! The finger force, sharp as an arrow, speared directly into Wen Liyi's throat. His eyes bulged in stunned disbelief as he stared at Zhao Hai. He had never imagined perishing to a lone finger strike. Gradually, the spark in his eyes faded; his head lolled, and he plummeted from the sky.

The instant the finger pierced him, the golden bee overhead dropped like a stricken bolt from the blue. All vitality fled its form. This golden bee served as Wen Liyi's Natal spiritual gu. His death meant its end too—their fates intertwined.

Zhao Hai flicked his hand, drawing Wen Liyi's interspatial ring to him. Simultaneously, Wen Liyi's soul drifted into his grasp. Zhao Hai stowed both in his interspatial ring. These possessions held value for him. He then sped back to Blood Lake Island. Yet, he had no intention of lingering. Having tested Wen Liyi, he knew his preparations were set. Details on the Ghost Wind Bandits' treasure would soon leak. He needed to depart Blood Lake Island. Staying would draw seekers to him.

Zhao Hai held no fear of those hunting him on Blood Lake Island. His concern lay with Blood Slaughter Sect disciples acting on the news. He wished to avoid slaying his own sect's members, so departure was essential. Thus, he raced to Blood Lake Island. Upon arrival, Zhao Hai activated the teleportation array without delay. He had planned it out: start with Blood Lake Island's array, near an isolated market. Then, chain through several arrays to reach the market facing the Dark Ghost Sect.
