Record of a Demon's Cultivation

Chapter 336: Spirit Flame Jade Light



Translator: Cinder Translations

Feng Qi was injured by the sword formation, but Ji Ruxue did not pursue the advantage.

The move she had just used to hurt Feng Qi was already her trump card.

Yet she hadn't achieved the ideal battle outcome; instead, it had resulted in a significant drain on her spiritual power.

Ji Ruxue recalled the nine flying swords of the Evil Extermination Sword Formation and swiftly retreated.

As she escaped, she was moving downstream along the river.

Coincidentally, this direction was where Song Wen was located.

The riverbank was not wide, and there was no suitable place to hide.

Song Wen noticed that Ji Ruxue was fleeing toward him, and even if he wanted to hide, there was nowhere to go.

Moreover, Song Wen had no intention of hiding at all.

As Ji Ruxue flew on her sword, she suddenly discovered that someone was blocking her path ahead and couldn't help but feel startled.

Focusing her gaze, she could vaguely see that the person was dressed in the attire of the Beastmaster Sect.

Ji Ruxue subconsciously took Song Wen to be Feng Qi's accomplice.

She urged her flying sword toward Song Wen to strike.

This sword strike was not meant to kill; she simply wanted to force Song Wen back so she could escape smoothly.

Song Wen activated the Turtle Snake Shield to block Ji Ruxue's hasty sword strike.

At that moment, as Ji Ruxue did not slow down, she finally saw Song Wen's appearance clearly.

She realized she had attacked the wrong person.

In the Ten Thousand Year Spiritual Liquid Hall, Ji Ruxue had seen quite clearly that Feng Qi's subordinate had snatched Song Wen's stone meditation cushion.

Song Wen was not Feng Qi's accomplice, but rather an enemy.

An enemy of an enemy is a friend!

"Fellow Daoist, I was reckless just now; I apologize for the offense."

Ji Ruxue spoke words of apology, but her fleeing light showed no signs of slowing down.

She thought to herself:

Song Wen held a grudge against Feng Qi; in this encounter, there was likely to be a battle between the two.

She was just in time to divert the water and wait for an opportunity to slip away.

Just as Ji Ruxue was about to sweep past Song Wen overhead, a majestic celestial might suddenly surged before Song Wen.

Three lightning spears, each a zhang long, materialized.

The lightning spears shot out like shooting stars, aimed directly at Ji Ruxue.

Ji Ruxue's expression changed, and she raised her hand to send out a white flying sword to slash at the lightning spears.

"Fellow Daoist, what do you mean by this?"

Confused by Song Wen's attack, Ji Ruxue was forced to slow her escape to fend off the lightning spears, urgently asking.

"You attacked me for no reason, and after a mere 'I apologize for the offense,' you think you can escape?"

Song Wen's expression was grim, bearing a look of vengeance.

Ji Ruxue, looking anxious, explained, "You and I both have grievances with Feng Qi; we should join forces to fight against him instead of harming each other, allowing Feng Qi to benefit from it."

Song Wen remained unmoved, summoning three more lightning spears to strike at Ji Ruxue.

He cast a glance toward Feng Qi, who was chasing Ji Ruxue ever closer, and a bloody smile crept across his lips.

"Feng Qi, neither of you will escape."

Feng Qi had caught up to a short distance behind Song Wen. Seeing that Song Wen had intercepted Ji Ruxue, he couldn't help but smile.

"Wu Sheng, I truly have to thank you. Not only did you walk into the trap, but you also helped

me block this vile woman."

Ji Ruxue's expression darkened as she shouted at Song Wen.

"Get out of the way!"

As she spoke, Ji Ruxue summoned nine flying swords, which surged out one after another to

slash at Song Wen.

Song Wen's expression remained cold.

"I told you, neither of you will escape!"

With a thought, Song Wen summoned the Profound Earth Treasure Pagoda, shielding it above

his head to block the onslaught of the nine flying swords.

At the same time, three corpses and two ghosts appeared beside Song Wen.

The armored ghost king was the fastest; as soon as it appeared, it dashed toward the slightly

distant Feng Qi.

The silver corpse, on the other hand, charged at Ji Ruxue.

In the Blood Cloud Cave, he had captured a total of three peak second-stage copper corpses,

one of which he refined into a fake third-stage silver corpse.

There was also a ghost, a Ghost General he hadn't used for a long time.

It held the Top Grade Ghost Banner and quickly swept towards Feng Qi from behind,

preventing his escape.

As for the Sacred Gu, Song Wen had scattered it all around to scout the perimeter, preventing

any other cultivators from approaching.

Song Wen employed all his means, leaving no chance for the two to escape.

Feng Qi looked at the ghost king charging at him with a sword, and his expression changed

drastically.

This 'Wu Sheng' had hidden his capabilities too deeply.

The corpse-refining techniques displayed within his sect were merely the tip of the iceberg.

'Wu Sheng' had not only refined a fake third-stage silver corpse but had also raised a fake third-stage ghost king.

Feng Qi hurriedly formed a hand seal to summon a fire phoenix over ten zhang tall.

The fire phoenix flapped its wings, transforming into a brilliant red trajectory that rushed

toward the ghost king.

"Chirp!"

The fire phoenix let out a sharp cry.

With its mouth wide open, endless flames erupted forth.

The blazing flames spread across the sky, sweeping toward the ghost king.

The pitch-black underground realm was illuminated brightly by the flames, and the temperature in the vicinity began to rise sharply.

The fire phoenix summoned by Feng Qi was condensed from fire-element techniques,

carrying a strand of natural Yang energy that exerted a certain suppressive effect on evil entities.

As the flames swirled around, the ghost king had nowhere to dodge and saw no need to.

The black ghostly energy rising from its body resembled burning black flames, seemingly capable of swallowing light itself.

The ghost king held a broad ghost sword and charged directly into the flames.

With endless ghostly energy protecting its body, the flames seemed to shy away in fear.

The chilling ghostly energy surged forth, causing the flames to extinguish at a visible speed.

"Roar."

The fire phoenix opened its mouth and lunged at the ghost king.

The ghost king raised its hand, swinging the giant sword in its grip.

The ghostly energy surrounding the giant sword was ominous.

In the midst of the blazing flames, the black sword light stood out vividly, flashing by in an

instant.

The over ten zhang long fire phoenix was cut in half by a single sword strike.

While the intense flames had a certain suppressive effect on the ghost king, the disparity inn/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

strength between the two could not be mitigated by mere suppression.

Only a spirit flame infused with rich Yang energy from heaven and earth could ignore the

difference in strength and injure the ghost king.

After summoning the fire phoenix, Feng Qi had a pair of fiery wings coalesce on his back, turning into a fiery red afterimage as he swiftly retreated.

However, he was blocked by the already-arrived Ghost General and two copper corpses.

The Ghost General waved the Top Grade Ghost Banner, stirring up a torrent of ghostly energy, sweeping toward Feng Qi.

As the ghostly energy surged past, the flames on the pair of wings on Feng Qi's back were

significantly extinguished, and his escape speed drastically reduced.

The two copper corpses leapt toward Feng Qi simultaneously.

Feng Qi's complexion turned ashen, realizing that powerful ghostly entities surrounded him.

It felt as if he were trapped in a dire situation, unable to escape.

Clenching his teeth, Feng Qi's expression turned fierce.

He flipped his right hand, and an ancient ding (cauldron) about the size of a palm appeared in

his hand.

On the ding, a yellow talisman was affixed, seemingly sealing something.

He extended his left hand in a sword gesture, lightly tapping the ancient ding.

The ding expanded to the size of a water tank; the yellow talisman floated down, and the

ancient ding opened to reveal a fist-sized Golden Flame.

The flame flickered slightly.

A terrifying heat radiated from the golden flame.

Along with it came a surge of pure Yang energy.

This flame, known as the Jade Light Flame, was a spirit flame imbued with vast righteousness

and extreme Yang energy.

It was something he had gone to great lengths to acquire from the Star Sea.

Originally, he intended to refine this fire after Feng Qi's Core Formation, integrating it into

the golden core to enhance the power of his fire-element techniques.

Now, facing life and death, Feng Qi could only place his hopes of escape on the Jade Light

Flame.
