Bringing The Farm To Live In Another World

Chapter 2301: Ghost Blade Young Master

Death after torture is a humiliating way to die for a cultivator. Only those with deep-seated hatred or extreme perversion would treat a cultivator in this way.

Zhao Hai looked at the corpse on the ground. He squatted down and examined the skeleton carefully. Then he said in a serious voice, “He has been dead for about two hours. He was dumped here. The person who killed him used a knife, but not a small knife. On the contrary, it was a large knife, probably a kind of ghost-head blade. This person’s knife skills are superb. He should have been left here for an hour. He should have been thrown from that direction. After dumping the body here, the murderer turned around and left the same direction.”

Upon hearing Zhao Hai’s words, Zhou Feng’s eyes lit up, then a murderous glint flashed in his eyes as he asked, “So what do we do now? Chase after them?”

Zhao Hai shook his head and said, “No rush, let me take another look.”

Zhao Hai circled the corpse again, then said, “He was killed first and then made to look like this. It seems the other party wanted to provoke us, possibly to lure us into a trap. It seems they have a grudge against our Forbidden Path Sect and want to use this method to lure a few more Forbidden Path Sect members over and kill more. Interesting. It’s been a long time since I’ve encountered something this interesting. Xia Fei, you saw him first, you come with me and chase after them. Brother Zhou, you and Li Shuang stay behind and distribute the Fire Thunderbolts to everyone. This time, we’re going to go all out.”

Zhou Feng said coldly, “That’s right. How dare they treat us like this, I will tear them to pieces.” As he spoke, he took out some fire bombs and distributed them to Zhao Hai and the others.

Zhao Hai smiled slightly and said, “No need to rush. Once we find them, I guarantee they’ll suffer a terrible death. Xia Fei, let’s go.” After saying that, the two walked forward.

Zhou Feng didn’t follow. He stood there quietly and put the cultivator into his spatial storage, and then he said, “Xiao Shuang, let’s go.” Li Shuang nodded and followed Zhou Feng forward, but the two of them were a little slower than Zhao Hai and Xia Fei.

Zhao Hai was followed by Xia Fei as they went straight ahead, observing the tracks on the ground as he went. After about an hour, Zhao Hai suddenly stopped, and Xia Fei, who had been following him, also stopped. Xia Fei looked at Zhao Hai in confusion and asked, “What’s wrong, Junior Brother Zhao?”

Zhao Hai said in a serious voice, “We’ve arrived. Prepare for battle.” After saying that, Zhao Hai took out his iron mace. He looked around and said, “Everyone, you led us here, but you refuse to come out and meet us. Isn’t that a bit unfair? Come out.”

“Hahaha. You really have the guts. As expected of the Forbidden Path Sect. Interesting! Brothers. They want to see us, so let’s let them see us.” After saying that, a group of people walked out of the woods. They were all dressed in black cultivator robes, and on their clothes was a ghost-head knife embroidered with silver thread.

Upon seeing their clothes, Xia Fei’s expression changed. “Ghost Blade Gang members, how did you get into the Blood Demon Realm? This Blood Demon Realm is not a place you can enter!”

Zhao Hai glanced at the Ghost Blade Gang members. There were about twenty of them led by a cultivator of average height. He was quite ordinary-looking. You would never notice him in a crowd. But Zhao Hai was deeply impressed by him. Not because of anything else, but because of his eyes.

His eyes held a strange, dangerous quality tinged with a hint of madness. They were like those of a crazed dog, ready to pounce and bite at any moment.

Upon hearing Xia Fei’s words, the man burst into laughter, saying, “Why can’t we come in here? The Forbidden Path Sect squeezed us out of here back then, but we still made it in. Not only have we come in, we’re going to kill all the Forbidden Path Sect cultivators who have entered here.”

Upon hearing this, Zhao Hai sneered, “You? Hahaha, not that I’m underestimating you. But with all of you, you think you can keep us here? That might not be so easy.”

The leader of the Ghost Blade Sect looked at Zhao Hai and sneered, “Whether I can keep you here or not, you’ll find out soon enough. I’ll skin you alive, one slice at a time.”

Xia Fei looked at the Ghost Blade Sect cultivator, his face turning ashen, and said, “You are Ghost Blade Demon Young Master, Ou Fei!”

“Hahaha, finally someone smart has arrived. I didn’t expect you to recognize me. But that’s fine too. Now that you know my identity, you’re even more likely to die. Tell me, how do you want to die?”

“Are there many ways to die? I’d like to hear them!”

“Of course, there are many ways to die. I can let you die quickly, or I can let you die slowly. Since you are so interesting, I can let you die quickly. The last person from the Forbidden Path Sect was too ungrateful, so I can only let him die slowly. To be honest, I really enjoy watching people die slowly.”

“Stop pretending. Killing someone first and then using your knife on the corpse isn’t much skill. It’s useless to scare me. I’m not easily frightened. If you want to kill me, you’ll have to ask the iron mace in my hand first.” With that, Zhao Hai attacked Ou Fei with his mace.

When Ou Fei saw that Zhao Hai had made the first move, he couldn’t help but laugh. With a flick of his wrist, a large ghost-head knife appeared in his hand. This ghost-headed knife  was very large, about one and a half meters long and a palm wide. The thickest part of the back of the blade was half an inch thick. It was obviously a heavy knife.

When Zhao Hai saw the knife Ou Fei was using, his eyes lit up. It seemed that Ou Fei was indeed exceptionally talented to be able to wield such a large knife. He must be a very strong man. It would be a good opportunity to test his own strength against him.

Clang! The weapons clashed with a loud sound. Zhao Hai and Ou Fei both retreated, but Zhao Hai retreated five steps while Ou Fei only retreated three.

A strange smile appeared on Ou Fei’s face as he said, “Isn’t the Forbidden Path Sect a body cultivation sect? How come everyone I’ve met is weaker than the last? It seems the Forbidden Path Sect is really failing.”

Zhao Hai sneered, “Whether the Forbidden Path Sect is powerful or not isn’t up to your Ghost Blade Gang. If it weren’t for someone speaking up for you back then, your Ghost Blade Gang would have been wiped out by our Forbidden Path Sect. And now you dare to stand here spouting nonsense?” 

Zhao Hai was right. The Ghost Blade Gang and the Forbidden Path Sect were sworn enemies. Years ago, the Forbidden Path Sect clashed with the Ghost Blade Gang, and the conflict escalated until it became a full-blown battle between the two sects. However, the Forbidden Path Sect was far stronger than the Ghost Blade Gang. At the very end of the war, the Ghost Blade Gang was defeated by the Forbidden Path Sect. If it weren’t for the intervention of several major sects in the Demonic Cultivation Alliance, forcing the Forbidden Path Sect to retreat, the Forbidden Path Sect would have annihilated the Ghost Blade Gang.

Of course, this also created a deep enmity between the two sects. The minor conflicts between the Ghost Blade Gang and the Forbidden Path Sect never stopped. Whenever the disciples of the two sects met for training outside, they would always fight to the death.

Logically speaking, given the devastation inflicted on the Ghost Blade Gang by the Forbidden Path Sect, recovery shouldn’t be easy. Moreover, they’ve been behaving themselves for years. Yet, unexpectedly, Zhao Hai encountered Ghost Blade Gang cultivators again in this Blood Demon Realm.

The Ghost Blade Gang was once one of the sects that could enter the Blood Demon Realm, but it was later kicked out by the Forbidden Path Sect. Although the Forbidden Path Sect was forced to retreat by the alliance of other sects, the Ghost Blade Gang did not get away without paying a price. After that, they could no longer enter the Blood Demon Realm, and they also had to pay the Forbidden Path Sect a large amount of resources. It could be said that they ceded territory and paid reparations, losing face completely.

That’s why no one in the Forbidden Path Sect ever imagined that the Ghost Blade Gang could actually enter the Blood Demon Realm. If this news got out, the higher-ups of the Forbidden Path Sect would definitely not allow it.

Upon hearing Zhao Hai mention the events of years ago, Ou Fei’s face revealed a hint of crazed killing intent. He roared, “Nonsense! You people from the Forbidden Path Sect used despicable means to defeat us back then, bringing shame upon our Ghost Blade Gang. Just wait, I will definitely kill you all, I will!”

Looking at Ou Fei, Zhao Hai sneered, “If you have the ability, come on.” With that, he brandished his double maces and attacked again. Ou Fei brandished his knife and stood with Zhao Hai. What surprised Zhao Hai was that the other members of the Ghost Blade Gang did not take the opportunity to attack Xia Fei. They just surrounded him, seemingly not worried at all that he would escape.

Zhao Hai looked at the Ghost Blade Gang members and quickly realized that they had formed a formation that surrounded them. As long as they didn’t try to break through, everything was fine. But if they tried to break through, the formation would activate immediately, and then they would really be finished.

Zhao Hai carefully observed the formation set up by the Ghost Blade Gang members, and at the same time had the Universal Scanner analyze it. However, the final result was that it was not any kind of formation stored in the database. It could be said that it was a formation that Zhao Hai had never seen before.

This formation is composed of several large formations, with Yin and Yang inside and the Five Elements outside. However, it is not a simple Yin-Yang Five Elements formation. There are many more things inside, and those things are the key to this formation. Zhao Hai really has no way of knowing what those extra things are used for in a short time.

Because he still didn’t know what those formations did, Zhao Hai didn’t act rashly. He was waiting. As soon as Zhou Feng and the others made a move, they could coordinate from the inside and outside. And then use fire bombs to blast the formation, which might cause it to collapse on its own.

Although he was constantly calculating these things, Zhao Hai’s offensive didn’t slow down. He had already figured out that Ou Fei was definitely exceptionally talented. He possessed immense strength yet he was also incredibly agile. Most importantly, his attacks carried a hint of madness, as if every strike was meant to take you down with him. If an ordinary person were to encounter such a fighting style, they would be lucky to unleash eight out of ten levels of their power. But clearly, Zhao Hai was not an ordinary person. He didn’t care about Ou Fei’s fighting style at all. Ou Fei’s frenzied attacks would only provoke an even more frenzied counterattack from Zhao Hai. Therefore, from the beginning until now, the two of them had been attacking each other in a life-or-death manner. Both of them would only block the other’s attacks at the very last moment. This fighting style was so fierce that it made Xia Fei and the others watching feel cold sweat pouring down their backs.

After exchanging over fifty moves, Zhao Hai’s expression changed. He launched two more attacks and retreated away from Ou Fei, leaping back to Xia Fei’s side. With a flick of his wrist, the iron mace vanished and a fire thunderbolt appeared in his hand. Xia Fei also simultaneously drew his fire thunderbolt. Zhao Hai didn’t hesitate and threw a fire grenade towards Ou Fei. At the same time, a swarm of fire thunderbolts flew in from behind Ou Fei and the others, also heading towards Ou Fei.

When Zhao Hai took out the Fire Thunderbolts, Ou Fei’s eyes narrowed. He recognized the Fire Thunderbolts immediately, but it was too late for him to warn the people around him.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! A series of deafening explosions, followed by screams, ripped a large hole in the forest. Billowing smoke filled the woods. As the smoke cleared, Zhao Hai and Xia Fei slowly rose to their feet. They had immediately dropped to the ground after throwing the fire thunderbolts. So, although it exploded not far from them, it hadn’t caused them any harm.

Zhao Hai glanced around and found that at least half of the Ghost Blade Sect cultivators surrounding them were dead and many were injured. Fewer than ten were unharmed. However, to Zhao Hai’s surprise, Ou Fei was still alive. Although his face was blackened by the explosion and he had many wounds on his body, it was clear that his injuries were not very serious. This surprised Zhao Hai, as he had paid special attention to Ou Fei when he threw the fire thunderbolt. It was impossible for Ou Fei to have survived so easily.

Ou Fei glared at Zhao Hai with eyes blazing with fury and said fiercely, “Fine, very good. I never expected you to have Fire Thunderbolts. But even the Raging Fire Sect doesn’t have many Fire Thunderbolts. You couldn’t possibly have too many on you. You must have used up all your Fire Thunderbolts just now. You don’t have any left, right? Then it’s time for you to die.”

Before Zhao Hai could speak, Zhou Feng’s voice came: “Ou Fei, I really didn’t expect that a coward like you would have such audacity to plot against the Forbidden Path Sect in the Blood Demon Realm. It seems that your Ghost Blade Gang really thinks you have the strength to go against the Forbidden Path Sect?”

Right after talking, Zhou Feng and Li Shuang emerged from the woods. Upon seeing Zhou Feng, Ou Fei’s eyes narrowed, then he burst into maniacal laughter, saying, “It’s you, Zhou Feng! I never expected you to enter the Blood Demon Realm. The Forbidden Path Sect is truly generous, and the Zhou family is certainly trustworthy. But this is perfect. Killing mere shrimp soldiers and crab generals is pointless. I’ve long wanted to kill a few people of status. You, Zhou Feng, are an inner disciple of the Forbidden Path Sect and are about to become a core disciple. You’re also a direct descendant of the Zhou family. Your status is just right. You’ll stay here today.” With that, he brandished his broadsword and attacked Zhou Feng.

Zhou Feng looked at Ou Fei and sneered, “I’m not afraid of your Ghost Blade Gang. Just wait, the day we leave will be the day the Forbidden Path Sect and the Ghost Blade Gang go to war.” After saying that, he took his double hammers in his hands and started fighting Ou Fei while the remaining Ghost Blade Gang disciples charged towards Zhao Hai and the others.
