Living In Another World With A Farm Chapter 8327 - 304-defeated in seconds _1

Beads of sweat rolled down Wu Hong’s forehead. His eyes bulged as he stared at Zhao Hai, who still maintained the appearance of Wu Hao. He stammered immediately, "Elder, Hao’er is currently in seclusion. I truly have no knowledge of what has transpired." Wu Hong was genuinely ignorant of the situation. Wu Hao had claimed he was entering closed-door cultivation and was not to be disturbed, leaving the family unaware that Zhao Hai had departed long ago.

Zhao Hai looked at Wu Hong and spoke in a low tone, "Uncle Hong, there is no need for such a look. I mentioned I would return to the quiet room after my training; I actually departed from that room and headed back to Blood Drop Island. It is only natural that you were unaware. In truth, Wu Hao perished quite some time ago. I released a demonic beast to slay him. Once he was dead, I performed a soul-searching technique on him to claim all his memories. Afterward, I allowed the demonic beast to injure me and took the life-prolonging golden pill from Wu Hao’s person. I then assumed his identity to infiltrate Blood Shadow Island."

Having finished his explanation, Zhao Hai shifted back to his true form. He cupped his fists toward Bai Xin and said, "This disciple has concluded his demonstration. I wonder if the Elder is satisfied?" After speaking, Zhao Hai stepped back slightly to stand behind Du Wan Sha, falling silent.

Du Wan Sha observed Zhao Hai with a look of approval before shifting his gaze to Bai Xin. "Bai Xin, do you understand now?" he asked. "To be fair, Zhao Hai possesses great patience. He waited over three months before making his move. You should be satisfied. Enough chatter. Prepare for your end!" With those words, Du Wan Sha’s hand blurred as he swung the Killing God Blade forward in a powerful arc.

With a thunderous crash, the barrier was shredded by Du Wan Sha’s blade as if it were mere paper. A massive wave of blade Qi surged toward Bai Xin. This Qi moved with incredible velocity, saturated with an unstoppable killing intent. The intent manifested as a colossal beam of light, slashing directly at Bai Xin.

Bai Xin’s face paled. With a quick motion, a long saber appeared in his grip. He hoisted the weapon and roared, "Open!" He intended to parry the strike because he realized escape was impossible. He was well aware of Du Wan Sha’s prowess. Though the attack appeared straightforward, it was perfectly locked onto his aura, making evasion futile.

Furthermore, Bai Xin realized that since the Killing God Blade had been reclaimed, he could no longer exert his maximum power. Under these conditions, dodging was out of the question. He chose to block instead. Despite knowing the fearsome reputation of the Killing God Blade, he retained confidence in his own weapon. Having wielded his saber for many years, he believed it could withstand Du Wan Sha’s assault.

However, he had clearly underestimated the true might of the Blood Slaughter Sect’s treasures. While the Killing God Blade was not the absolute strongest artifact of the sect, it was indisputably the second. Moreover, the Blood Slaughter Blade was rarely deployed by the sect’s members. In recent years, during conflicts with rival sects, the Slaughter God Blade was usually summoned only when a medium or large-scale magic treasure was required. The Blood Slaughter Blade had only been seen in action once—during the very battle where the Killing God Blade was lost.

In that historical conflict, the Killing God Blade was lost and its presiding Elder killed. The members of the Blood Slaughter Sect then utilized the Blood Slaughter Blade to crush their enemies in a single stroke. Its true power was revealed to the world that day, proving the rumors that the Blood Slaughter Blade surpassed the Killing God Blade. This was a documented fact, not mere myth.

Since that time, the Killing God Blade had remained lost for years. Although Bai Xin had used it in previous skirmishes, he had only recently acquired it and had never risked his life against the Blood Slaughter Sect, so he had never pushed the blade to its limits. He was ignorant of its full potential. This time, however, Du Wan Sha held nothing back, channeling his entire Cultivation into the Killing God Blade as he struck.

With no way to retreat, Bai Xin could only raise his weapon to meet the blow. A sharp "shua" sound rang out as the blade passed through Bai Xin’s form. Bai Xin froze, the light in his eyes dimming. Both his long saber and his body were cleaved perfectly in half from head to toe, and his remains collapsed to the earth.

The result caught everyone off guard. A powerhouse like Bai Xin had failed to survive even a single blow from Du Wan Sha. Even Du Wan Sha himself was momentarily stunned. His eyes soon gleamed with excitement as he looked at the Killing God Blade. He let out a loud laugh and commanded, "Attack! Leave no soul alive on Blood Shadow Island. Kill them all!" He struck out again with his blade as the others charged forward. These were all Island Lord level experts, and the defenders of Blood Shadow Island scrambled to mount a final resistance.

By this time, Zhao Hai had already retreated, guiding the disciples of Blood Drop Island back toward the Blood Sea. Disciples from other islands swarmed Blood Shadow Island. As this was formerly Bai Xin’s domain, it was filled with resources, and everyone sought to claim their share of the spoils.

Du Wan Sha remained stationary atop the massive copper sword, scanning the area only to realize Zhao Hai was gone. He turned to Ha Jing with a puzzled look. "Where is Zhao Hai? Did he join the raid on the island? He truly earned great merit today. Without his performance, I wouldn't have broken Bai Xin’s Dao heart so easily, allowing me to finish him in one blow. Make sure nothing happens to that boy; his contribution is massive." Du Wan Sha held Zhao Hai in high regard. Zhao Hai had provided numerous services to the Blood Slaughter Sect, and this victory was largely his doing. By reclaiming the Killing God Blade and shattering Bai Xin’s mental fortitude, he had paved the way for a swift victory. Du Wan Sha did not want such a talent risking himself in the ground assault.

Ha Jing looked at Du Wan Sha and gave a small smile. "No need to worry, he didn't go onto the island. He has gone elsewhere. That lad is quite resourceful; he discovered several secret bases located away from the main island. There are people there researching metal puppets, and he is currently leading his men to secure those locations."

Du Wan Sha and Ha Jing stayed behind because their intervention was no longer required. While some Island Lord level experts remained on the island, they were no match for the two Elders. The duo sat calmly atop the copper sword. Du Wan Sha even put away the Killing God Blade, as such a weapon consumed a vast amount of Qi to maintain. Its power was undeniable—killing an Elder-level master like Bai Xin in one hit proved that—but it was taxing. The two continued their conversation in the quiet air.

Upon hearing Ha Jing’s explanation, Du Wan Sha’s expression shifted. "Metal puppets? Are you referring to the metal puppets of the Divine Secrets Sect?" His eyes flickered with intense interest; the technology of the Divine Secrets Sect was a matter of great concern.

Ha Jing shook his head. "We aren't certain yet. Those items were retrieved from a secret realm by those families. We will know more once the realm is secured. Zhao Hai is currently raiding those sites, and I have faith in his success."

Du Wan Sha nodded, then turned back to Ha Jing. "Even if that boy is only your grand-disciple in name, I noticed his mastery of incantation gestures is exceptional. It appears he has received your true legacy? Do you intend for him to be your successor?" Du Wan Sha knew that while Ha Jing was powerful, he had struggled to find a disciple capable of mastering his specific incantation techniques. His current students were far behind him.

Zhao Hai had demonstrated those gestures earlier. Though his Cultivation was still developing and he hadn't used them for direct combat, his control over the Copper Palace was impressive. Du Wan Sha’s sharp eye recognized that Zhao Hai’s understanding of the technique was profound—perhaps deeper than that of Ha Jing’s other disciples.

Ha Jing gave a bittersweet smile. "Believe it or not, Zhao Hai’s incantation style differs from mine. Though I provided the Jade slips, he comprehended the rest on his own. The boy is an enigma. He claims he was powerful in the lower realm and possesses vast experience, but many have ascended from below. Most only ever reach the Island Lord level. He, however, is someone I cannot fully see through. He learns with incredible speed, taking what is taught and refining it into something that fits him perfectly. While his gestures are technically correct, his variations have already surpassed my own."

Du Wan Sha was stunned for a moment, but his eyes soon brightened. "Do you believe Zhao Hai can reach the Island Lord level with ease if he continues this path? If he succeeds, and combines that with your mantra emblems as a foundation, wouldn't the Blood Slaughter Sect gain another powerhouse on our level?" This was Du Wan Sha's primary concern. The sect had suffered heavy losses recently. Regardless of Yin Wuchang’s fate, they were losing two of their eight Great Elders. Including the fallen Island Lords, the damage was severe. Du Wan Sha was desperate for new experts to rise.

Ha Jing replied softly, "Zhao Hai is practicing the Blood Sea God-Killing Technique, which remains a worry for me. Though he insists he is fine and the technique won't harm him, I still harbor concerns. As long as he remains stable through the Dharma Cultivation realm and becomes an Island Lord, our sect will have a formidable expert. His future potential might even eclipse our own. I am not speaking of rank, but of raw strength!"
