Bringing The Farm To Live In Another World

BTFTLIAW – Chapter 2304

Zhao Hai smiled slightly and said, “Senior Brother Lian, you flatter me.”

“You two, stop wasting time talking and hurry up and get going. I want all two hundred Ghost Blade Gang cultivators who entered the Blood Demon Realm to die,” Zhou Feng said in a serious voice. Zhao Hai and Lian Yun responded and fell silent.

Over the next few days, Zhou Feng and everyone continued to hunt down members of the Ghost Blade Gang. They had already killed seven groups of Ghost Blade Gang cultivators, meaning that of the two hundred Ghost Blade Gang cultivators sent to the Blood Demon Realm, Zhou Feng and his group had now killed one hundred and forty.

While killing the 140 Ghost Blade Gang cultivators, Zhou Feng’s team increased to 40 people. Moreover, they could determine that there were 20 fellow disciples who had died. In other words, even if they saved everyone, they could only save 40 more people.

Zhou Feng, however, was well aware that this was impossible. Of the remaining forty people, he would be lucky to save twenty, ten would be acceptable. It was also possible that he could not save any of them.

Moreover, Zhou Feng felt that the last possibility was very high. He was very clear that as time went by, the remaining people were very likely to be killed.

Fortunately, there was no way to use communication equipment in the Blood Demon Realm. Otherwise, Zhou Feng believed that even more cultivators from the Forbidden Path Sect would have died while the Ghost Blade Gang members would not suffer as many casualties.

Although Zhou Feng and the others had been hunting down the Ghost Blade Gang members these past few days, they hadn’t forgotten their mission. They had made some considerable gains. And because they were all together, they had also hunted some demonic beasts and obtained some demonic cores. For them, this harvest was not small at all. On the contrary, it was quite substantial.

Zhou Feng sat on a rock, gazing at a river of blood in the distance. This river wasn’t composed of demonic blood. It was just ordinary river water that had been polluted and turned red.

Zhou Feng said in a serious voice, “We are still more than 300 miles away from the Blood River. There are two groups of Ghost Blade Gang members on the banks of the Blood River. If we can deal with them, then the Ghost Blade Gang will only have one group left.”

Zhao Hai nodded and said, “We have forty men now, and they have forty men too. Dealing with them shouldn’t be difficult. However, those two groups of Ghost Blade Gang members aren’t together. They’ve been looking for an opportunity on both sides of the Blood River. And they’re not too far apart. If we attack one group, the other will come to our aid. I think we should use the old method: split into two groups. I’ll lead one group to attack one of their groups, and you lead the other group to ambush them. When their other group comes to our aid, you can come out and surround those guys. We absolutely cannot let them escape.”

Zhou Feng nodded and said, “Alright. Let’s do it this way. We’ll split into two teams. You’ll lead twenty people, and I’ll lead the other twenty.”

Zhao Hai shook his head and said, “Ten people will do. I’m leaving.” After saying that, Zhao Hai called ten people and led them towards the Blood River.

Lian Yun approached Zhou Feng and said, “Brother Zhou, will Brother Ling be alright? Although he’s very strong, there are quite a few enemies.”

Zhou Feng shook his head and said, “You shouldn’t worry about him. I’m more worried about those guys from the Ghost Blade Gang. Brother Ling’s bloodlust has been getting worse these days.”

Lian Yun nodded as well. He could also see that Zhao Hai’s killing intent had indeed been getting stronger these days. He didn’t know if it was a good thing or a bad thing for Zhao Hai. A killing intent too strong wasn’t necessarily good for a cultivator.

In fact, they felt that Zhao Hai’s murderous intent was growing stronger, which was Zhao Hai’s deliberate act. He couldn’t allow himself to remain without any distinguishing features, because he might be suspected of being a spy. If he remained without any distinguishing features, the people of the Forbidden Path Sect would definitely suspect him. Therefore, after arriving at the Blood Demon Realm, Zhao Hai had always been full of murderous intent.

Zhao Hai didn’t care what Zhou Feng and Lian Yunt were saying. He led ten people straight to the Blood River. Two hours later, they finally arrived. Looking at the surging Blood River, Zhao Hai couldn’t help but let out a long sigh and said, “What a good place to bury bones. It’s not bad to die here.”

The cultivators from the Forbidden Path Sect who were following Zhao Hai looked at him in confusion, wondering why he would say such ominous things. Did he want to die?

Zhao Hai suddenly said in a serious voice, “Since you know we’re here, come out and show yourself. Is there anything you’re ashamed of?” As he spoke, Zhao Hai punched the river and the river water exploded as if it had been blown up by explosives, sending a jet of water shooting into the sky.

When Zhao Hai threw that punch, several figures suddenly emerged from the river. Then the group surrounded Zhao Hai and the others.

These people were wearing Ghost Blade Gang clothing. And their numbers were not the twenty people Zhao Hai had imagined, but a full forty. Upon seeing this, Zhao Hai’s eyes narrowed, and then he said , “Since you’ve all come, then let them all come out. The Ghost Blade Gang should have sixty people left, so why are there only forty of you? Don’t tell me the other twenty didn’t come.”

“Hmph, what a clever kid, not bad. We’ve all come. But the rest of us are waiting for your reinforcements. Once your reinforcements arrive, the others will naturally appear.” A tall, strong-looking Ghost Blade Gang cultivator stepped out from the crowd.

Zhao Hai waved his hand, and the ten Forbidden Path Sect cultivators who followed him immediately formed a battle formation, standing there motionless. They all took out their weapons. Although the Forbidden Path Sect cultivators did not use the same weapons, the battle formation they formed was by no means weak.

The Ghost Blade Gang cultivator did not stop the Forbidden Path Sect cultivators from setting up their battle formation. He coldly watched as Zhao Hai and his group completed their formation. Only after Zhao Hai and his group finished setting up their formation did the Ghost Blade Gang cultivator speak, “You should stop struggling. Since you knew we were waiting for you here, do you think we would be completely unprepared?”

Zhao Hai looked at the Ghost Blade Gang member and said, “You probably didn’t know we were hunting your people at first. Otherwise, so many of you wouldn’t have died. You must have only recently found out because there’s no way to communicate in the Demon Blood Realm. There are only two possibilities for how you got the news. One is that you had reinforcements, and they knew someone was targeting you, so you set this trap to wipe us out.”

“The second possibility is that the Ghost Blade Gang told you this, but that’s very unlikely. You can’t use transmission formations to enter the Demon Blood Realm. If your sect wanted to send you a message, they could only use communication jade swords or something similar. Although those things are fast, they might not be fast enough in the Demon Blood Realm, so that possibility is ruled out. So, you did have reinforcements.”

The Ghost Blade Gang cultivator looked at Zhao Hai. Suddenly, he burst into laughter and said, “You are indeed a clever man. However, my favorite thing to do is to kill clever people. You guessed right, we have come with reinforcements. You are all doomed.”

Zhao Hai sneered, “Who dies is still uncertain. You can wait for our reinforcements to arrive. I’ll let you wait and see how long you can wait.” After saying that, Zhao Hai turned to the cultivators of the Forbidden Path Sect and said in a deep voice, “Stand here, do not attack. Just defend.” After saying that, he moved his hand and two iron maces appeared. He roared and pounced on the Ghost Blade Gang members.

The Ghost Blade Gang cultivators were taken aback by the fact that only Zhao Hai was attacking while the others remained motionless. In the blink of an eye, Zhao Hai had already pounced on them, killing one of the Ghost Blade Gang cultivators with a single blow of his mace.

The Ghost Blade Gang members finally came to their senses and immediately launched an attack on Zhao Hai and his group. Zhao Hai, however, paid no heed. He smiled coldly, moved swiftly, and charged towards them. His double maces spread wide, engaging them in battle.

The small team Zhao Hai led remained standing still, focusing all their attention on defense, without launching a single attack or helping Zhao Hai.

After all these days of fighting alongside Zhao Hai, Zhou Feng and the others have come to a complete understanding that Zhao Hai’s strength is beyond their ability to contend with, and also beyond the ability of any cultivator at the Earth Monarch stage. There are almost no Forbidden Path Sect cultivators who can harm Zhao Hai, so they are not worried about him at all.

Zhao Hai’s current state is indeed like that. Those who want to attack Zhao Hai can hardly cause him any harm. By this point, at least ten Ghost Blade Gang cultivators have died at Zhao Hai’s hands.

At this moment, a shout of battle rang out. The leader of the Ghost Blade Gang team turned around and saw that Zhou Feng had led his men to attack. His expression changed, and he waved his hand, saying, “Retreat.” The Ghost Blade Gang members stopped harassing Zhao Hai and his group and stepped aside, allowing Zhou Feng and Zhao Hai to reunite.

Zhou Feng reached Zhao Hai’s side, glanced at the side with some confusion, and said, “What’s going on? Something seems off. Why do they seem to be stalling for time?”

Zhao Hai smiled slightly and said, “You guessed right, they were stalling for time. The rest of the Ghost Blade Gang should have arrived. Hehe, interesting. I’d like to see what kind of helpers they’ve brought.”

At this moment, the Ghost Blade Gang surrounded Zhao Hai and his group once again. This time, the twenty people Zhao Hai had mentioned earlier also came out. Apart from the dozen or so people Zhao Hai had killed, the Ghost Blade Gang still had more than forty members. However, when these people looked at Zhao Hai, their eyes were filled with deep-seated hatred and fear. In just a short time, Zhao Hai had actually killed more than ten of them. Those people were like children in Zhao Hai’s hands. He could do whatever he wanted with them. It was truly astonishing.

Zhao Hai looked at the Ghost Blade Gang members but paid them no attention. He looked around but didn’t find anything. His expression changed, and suddenly he seemed to have thought of something. Then he said in a deep voice, “Deploy a formation. There might still be people in the river.”

When Zhou Feng heard Zhao Hai say this, he was taken aback. Then he immediately waved his hand and everyone formed a large formation. Zhao Hai turned his head and glanced at the Blood River then sneered, “I really didn’t expect that the Ghost Blade Gang would collude with ghost cultivators. Everyone, come out. Although the water of the Blood River can cover up the yin energy on your bodies, it’s still not very comfortable to be soaking in the water all the time.”

Upon hearing Zhao Hai’s words, Zhou Feng was stunned. Then his expression changed, and he said in a deep voice, “Ghost cultivator?”

Zhao Hai nodded and said, “Ghost cultivators, they have very strong Yin energy on them. There is Yin energy in this Blood River to begin with. I hadn’t thought of this before, but now it seems that the Ghost Blade Gang is really bold, daring to collude with ghost cultivators. Right, let’s kill a few ghost cultivators and take them out so that the sect can investigate them thoroughly. Maybe we can find information about their whereabouts.”

Upon hearing Zhao Hai’s words, Zhou Feng immediately sensed something was wrong. He knew very well that having yin energy on one’s body did not necessarily mean one was a ghost cultivator. In fact, some evil cultivators also possessed yin energy. Zhao Hai’s assertion that the other party was a ghost cultivator was clearly strange.

Upon thinking about it more, Zhou Feng immediately understood. Zhao Hai was saying this on purpose. He wanted to portray the other party as ghost cultivators. This would force the other party to reveal themselves, and he could then kill the other party with justification that they are a ghost cultivator, leaving the other party’s sect unable to say anything.

If the other party’s sect denied it, that would be even better, as they could then accuse the Ghost Blade Gang of colluding with ghost cultivators. If the other party admitted it, that would also be good, as they would then know which Evil Faction  sect was colluding with the Ghost Blade Gang.

Sure enough, upon hearing Zhao Hai’s words, the water in the Blood River exploded once more. Then several figures soared into the sky from the Blood River and landed on the shore. These were people dressed in black robes with their faces obscured by black cloth. There were no markings on their robes, making it impossible to tell which sect they belonged to.

Zhao Hai counted five people wearing robes, all of whom carried strong yin energy. At this moment, one of them opened their mouth “Boy, who are you calling a ghost cultivator?”

His voice was extremely hoarse, like sandpaper rubbing against glass, making listeners feel itchy all over and uncomfortable.

Zhao Hai looked at the group and sneered, “Hiding your faces but showing your aura. And people like you dare to call yourselves cultivators? What a disgrace.”

Zhou Feng sneered, “They’re just cowards afraid to show their faces. Of course they don’t feel ashamed at all. To be honest, I’ve never fought a ghost cultivator before. I wonder what it would feel like to kill a few. Do you think I’ll get a reward from the sect?”

Zhao Hai laughed heartily and said, “That’s for sure. Throughout the entire continent, any sect that kills a ghost cultivator will be rewarded. Our Forbidden Path Sect is no exception. The most important thing is that the Ghost Blade Gang is colluding with ghost cultivators. Let’s see who can save them this time.”

“Hmph, just because you say we’re ghost cultivators, we are? Stop throwing mud at people. But don’t even think about getting out of here. None of you will escape,” the black-robed cultivator in the lead sneered.
