Bringing The Farm To Live In Another World Chapter 2274: The murder sets up the prestige

The elder gazed at Zhao Hai and let out a cold snort. “So you’re Zhao Ling? I’ve heard you got the Bloodless Command. Is that true?”
Zhao Hai met his eyes and gave a faint smile. “Yes, I obtained the Bloodless Command. What instructions do you have, senior?”
The elder snorted coldly again. “Hand over the Bloodless Command, and I’ll spare your life. I, the Snake Elder, always keep my word.”
Zhao Hai glanced at him and smiled slightly. “You think you can take it??”
Upon hearing Zhao Hai’s words, the Snake Elder’s face paled involuntarily. He sneered, “Very well, impressive indeed. It’s been years since anyone dared speak to me like this. Good, young man, you’ve got guts. I know this is Demon Heart City. If I make a move here, Buyun Sect will deal with me. I won’t act inside the city. But from today onward, anyone from Blood Blade Gang who dares leave Demon Heart City will die.”
Zhao Hai stared at the Snake Elder. “No need to threaten me. I’m in Demon Heart City now. If you’ve got the guts, come at me. Kill me, and the Bloodless Command is yours. Fail, and you’ll never get it.” With that, Zhao Hai’s figure flashed, heading straight out of Demon Heart City.
The conversation between Zhao Hai and the Snake Elder hadn’t been whispered, so everyone around heard their exchange. Although rumors had spread that Blood Blade Gang possessed the Bloodless Command, it hadn’t been verified until now. Zhao Hai’s personal confirmation left them all stunned.
Yet what shocked them even more was Zhao Hai’s reaction. As an Earth Monarch Stage cultivator—evident to all—he faced a Teleportation boundary expert’s threat without flinching, standing his ground boldly. And now, he dared to leave Demon Heart City right in front of the Snake Elder. Wasn’t this a direct challenge?
His courage was simply too immense!
Indeed, the Snake Elder was utterly enraged by Zhao Hai’s arrogance. The muscles on his face twitched, his eyes blazing like twin flames. He turned to his companion and barked, “Follow him! Kill that kid and seize his Bloodless Command. Do it, and you can join Buyun Sect.”
The green-robed young cultivator’s eyes darkened as he nodded respectfully. He was the Snake Elder’s disciple, and now his master had been humiliated in public by Zhao Hai. If they weren’t in Demon Heart City, he’d have attacked already.
The Snake Elder led the green-robed youth as they both leaped toward the city’s outskirts, pursuing Zhao Hai. Outside Demon Heart City, flight was prohibited. Though a Teleportation boundary cultivator, the Snake Elder dared not violate Buyun Sect’s rules, lest he court death.
The onlookers, eager for the spectacle, followed suit. Word spread quickly, alarming all of Demon Heart City. Those who’d come for Buyun Sect’s entrance exam, along with Outer City folks, rushed out. They wanted to see how Zhao Hai would handle this. If the Snake Elder slew him, they might snag some loot.
Zhao Hai had anticipated trouble upon his appearance, but this time he aimed to establish his prestige. He wanted the cultivators of Demon Heart City to know Blood Blade Gang wasn’t some pushover. Most crucially, he needed Buyun Sect to recognize his true strength—not just his wealth for joining.
Since Zhao Hai left first, the Snake Elder and his disciple trailed behind. When Zhao Hai was about ten li outside the city, they caught up.
Spotting the Snake Elder approaching, Zhao Hai halted by the roadside and watched him. The Snake Elder eyed Zhao Hai and suddenly burst into laughter. “Fine, kid, you really don’t fear death. Alright, let me send you on your way.” He prepared to strike.
At that moment, the green-robed youth stepped forward to block him. “Master, let me handle this. I need that Bloodless Command. He’s mine.”
The Snake Elder looked at the youth and smiled faintly. “Alright, Snake. He’s all yours.” He stepped aside, watching Zhao Hai with a calm expression.
Zhao Hai observed the Snake Elder, then glanced at the youth his master called Snake. He shook his head. “You’re no match. Let your master come.” By now, many cultivators had gathered, all from Demon Heart City, curious to witness Zhao Hai’s resolution.
Snake stared at Zhao Hai. “Big words! Today, I’ll show you the might of the Blue Snake Young Master, Snake Thousand Transformations.”
At his declaration, gasps erupted around them. “Blue Snake Young Master? It’s him! In Buyun Sect’s territory, he’s a famed Rogue Cultivator. Who’d have thought his master was the Snake Elder? I hear the Blue Snake Young Master’s Cyan Snake Five Poisons Palm is incredibly tyrannical—not just powerful, but laced with deadly venom. No antidote exists.”
“Indeed, this Blue Snake Young Master is a ruthless one. Word is he’s committed countless murders and robberies. No one knows for sure since all victims died, but the wounds point to him.”
Zhao Hai caught these murmurs and couldn’t help but smile. Snake Thousand Transformations had been watching him closely. Seeing the sudden grin on Zhao Hai’s face, he paused, then grew wary. “Why are you smiling? Facing death, and you laugh?”
Zhao Hai regarded Snake Thousand Transformations. “Originally, I had no intention of killing you—your power’s too weak; it’d be pointless. But now, I’ve changed my mind. You must die.”
Enraged by Zhao Hai’s words, Snake Thousand Transformations laughed maniacally. “Kill me? Hahaha, with you? Try this first—Cyan Snake Fangs!” His figure twisted, lunging like a striking blue snake toward Zhao Hai.
Both hands thrust forward, index fingers crooked like a viper’s fangs, aiming straight at Zhao Hai.
Zhao Hai stood calmly, unmoving, as if frozen in fear. Seeing this, Snake Thousand Transformations rejoiced inwardly, his assault quickening.
As Snake Thousand Transformations drew nearer, Zhao Hai’s smile remained. Just as the fingers neared contact, Zhao Hai’s hand shot out like a vice, clamping the youth’s wrist. Snake Thousand Transformations writhed like a serpent caught by the throat, unable to advance an inch.
Everyone stared in呆滞 at Zhao Hai. They never imagined he’d counter Snake Thousand Transformations this way—it was no battle between two Earth Monarch Stage cultivators; it was an adult toying with a child.
Snake Thousand Transformations’s face flushed red with pain as he glared at Zhao Hai. He hadn’t expected his attack to end like this, his hand gripped like iron shackles, immobile.
With venomous eyes, Snake Thousand Transformations spat, “Let me go! Dare you fight me fairly?”
Zhao Hai looked at his pained expression and suddenly laughed. “Fair? From you? That’s hilarious. Are you from True Spirit Realm? Fairness, hahaha.” He released the hand and punched out.
“Stop!” A roar echoed, accompanied by a heaven-shaking aura like a colossal flood dragon pressing down on Zhao Hai. But Zhao Hai ignored it, his fist slamming into Snake Thousand Transformations’s chest. Bones cracked audibly, shattering countless ribs. Blood sprayed from the youth’s mouth, mixed with organ fragments—he was beyond saving.
After felling Snake Thousand Transformations, Zhao Hai spun, dodging the Snake Elder’s follow-up strike. He turned to face the furious elder.
The Snake Elder ignored Zhao Hai for the moment, dropping his gaze to his disciple’s body on the ground. He muttered, “Snake, my Snake... how could this happen?”
Confirming Snake Thousand Transformations’s death, the Snake Elder threw his head back in a mournful howl. Then he fixed bloodshot eyes on Zhao Hai. “You killed my Snake! Boy, I’ll tear you apart!”
Zhao Hai met the Snake Elder’s gaze. “I warned you—threaten my friends, and face my wrath. Even if I can’t retaliate now, once I join Buyun Sect, I’ll strike back a hundredfold. But you don’t qualify to make me wait. So I act now: your disciple is dead. You’re next.”
“Argh!” The Snake Elder roared in fury, lunging at Zhao Hai. He bellowed, “Azure Dragon Strangle! Die!” His body spun in midair, transforming into a coiling azure dragon hurtling toward Zhao Hai, intent on crushing him on the spot.
Watching the Snake Elder, Zhao Hai snorted coldly. “Great Force Subduing Demon—kill!” He stepped forward, embodying an wrathful Vajra, eyes wide in fury, fist exploding outward.
Boom! A massive explosion rang out where Zhao Hai and the Snake Elder clashed, birthing a small mushroom cloud. A figure hurtled backward from the blast, crashing to the ground with a thud, twitching before going still.
The other cultivators’ hearts pounded at the impact. They turned to the flying figure, and upon seeing it, drew sharp breaths. The one flung away wasn’t who they expected—it was the Snake Elder! He lay there like a discarded rag, clearly with at least 80% of his bones shattered. He was as good as dead.
Hiss! The crowd inhaled deeply, staring at the Snake Elder’s corpse. They could hardly believe it. In Buyun Sect’s domain, the Snake Elder was notorious. Many knew his name; as a Teleportation boundary expert, he was a local powerhouse, having slain several of his peers. Yet today, he couldn’t even withstand one blow, smashed to pieces by overwhelming force. What monstrous power—against a Teleportation boundary cultivator, no less!
Thinking this, they glanced back at the battlefield. Zhao Hai stood calmly, surveying the Snake Elder and Snake Thousand Transformations’s remains. He muttered, “Weaklings daring to kill and rob—suicidal.” With a wave, he stored the bodies in his Space, glanced around, and headed back to Demon Heart City.
Under Zhao Hai’s gaze, the onlookers instinctively stepped back. Many who’d hoped to scavenge now felt a chill, for his eyes pierced like swords, seeing through their schemes.
Having scanned the crowd, Zhao Hai knew his words had reached them. Among these people, plenty coveted his Bloodless Command. Killing the Snake Elder was to awe them: want it? Prove your strength first.
Zhao Hai believed no one too strong would bother— they didn’t need it. The weak who tried would die, and he didn’t mind thinning their ranks.
He’d stayed low-key before, hiding his identity. But now, no need—his cover was known. No point concealing; a few kills to build reputation suited him well.
As Zhao Hai walked toward Demon Heart City, a group hurried up. It was Liu Zhentian and his men. They rushed forward anxiously, weapons drawn, ready for battle.
Seeing their faces, Zhao Hai understood. Liu Zhentian and Yu Linfeng weren’t fast; by the time they left Blood Blade Gang’s hall, he’d already exited the city. They must’ve heard he was dueling the Snake Elder outside and feared for him, rallying support.
This touched Zhao Hai. As mere Earth Monarch Stage cultivators, even a hundred of them couldn’t match a Teleportation boundary foe. Yet they charged without hesitation. He’d remember this loyalty.
Liu Zhentian and Yu Linfeng spotted Zhao Hai returning and sighed in relief. They flashed to his side. Liu Zhentian asked urgently, “Little Hai, you okay? What happened? Those two? That Teleportation boundary expert?”
Zhao Hai smiled faintly. “Relax, Big Brother Liu. I’m fine. I killed those two. No worries.”
Liu Zhentian blinked, then stared in confusion. “You killed them? You mean you took down that Teleportation boundary expert?”
With a gesture, Zhao Hai summoned the two corpses—the Snake Elder and Snake Thousand Transformations. He could’ve turned them into Undead, but held off for moments like this, keeping the bodies intact.
Gazing at the remains, Liu Zhentian and Yu Linfeng were speechless. Zhao Hai had claimed Teleportation boundary strength before, but they’d doubted it. Now, they believed!!!
