Record of a Demon's Cultivation

Chapter 329: Resurrection of the Dead



Translator: Cinder Translations

Not far ahead of Song Wen, the cave exit was finally in sight.

Song Wen glanced back at the people following him.

The distance between him and the others was growing ever wider.

The urgency in Song Wen's heart relaxed a bit.

Just as he was about to dash at full speed toward the exit, fully intending to shake off the group behind him in the winding passage, two shadows flickered in the pitch-black tunnel.

Suddenly, two dark sword lights shot out like venomous snakes lying in wait in the darkness.

With an unmatched sharpness, they sliced through the darkness, heading straight for Song Wen.

Song Wen's expression changed slightly, but he didn't panic.

The two flying swords in this surprise attack didn't seem particularly strong.

The cultivation levels of the two attackers should be on par with Song Wen, also at the late stage of Foundation Establishment.

This led Song Wen to deduce the identities of the two.

They were Feng Qi's subordinates, Leng Tianlu and the masked man.

Leng Tianlu already harbored a grudge against Song Wen, so it was expected he would take action against him.

But the masked man's hatred for Song Wen was even greater than Leng Tianlu's, which left Song Wen somewhat confused.

As thoughts raced through his mind, Song Wen's actions didn't slow down.

He first summoned the Turtle Snake Shield; behind it was the Kui Water Shield, and behind that was a bronze cauldron, fully protecting his body.

Although the Profound Earth Treasure Pagoda was excellent, it consumed too much spiritual energy, so Song Wen didn't want to use it unless necessary.

Song Wen also didn't limit himself to passive defense.

He raised his hand and conjured three lightning spears, each a yard long.

The lightning spears surged forward, racing toward the two figures in the tunnel.

The two flying swords and the three lightning spears passed by each other, with the flying swords first striking at Song Wen.

The two flying swords collided with the Turtle Snake Shield first.

The Turtle Snake Shield couldn't withstand the attack ar was easily knocked away.

Then, the Kui Water Shield was cut through by the two flying swords, transforming into a mass of Kui Yin heavy water.

Next, the two flying swords struck the bronze cauldron.

The bronze cauldron glowed brightly with green light, emitting a deafening hum.

The power of the two flying swords was exhausted, returning without success.

Song Wen pressed forward with the bronze cauldron, charging into the tunnel.

Earlier, the three lightning spears he shot had already been blocked by Leng Tianlu and the masked man.

The two once again urged their flying swords to strike at Song Wen.

Previously, they had hoped to catch Song Wen off guard and hadn't used their full strength with the flying swords.

Now, they had no reservations.

With all their might, the flying swords glimmered with sword light, resembling shooting stars cutting through the night sky as they targeted Song Wen.

However, as the two flying swords charged at him with unstoppable momentum, Song Wen seemed completely unfazed, continuing to press forward with the bronze cauldron, as if he were deliberately crashing into the swords.

Just as the flying swords were about to strike the bronze cauldron, Leng Tianlu and the masked man suddenly looked panicked.

They were astonished to find that there were actually six insects within a ten-foot radius around them.

Some came from the ground, some from above, and some from behind... rushing toward them.

These insects emitted a powerful aura, comparable to mid-stage Foundation Establishment practitioners.

They hadn't even noticed when these insects had appeared.

Song Wen's earlier three lightning spears were merely a distraction.

The real killing move was the insects that followed behind the lightning spears.

He used the overwhelming power of the lightning spears to mask the presence of the insects, preventing Leng Tianlu and the masked man from detecting them.

The insects were too close and moved too quickly.

In a panic, Leng Tianlu and the masked man could only hastily condense their spiritual energy

into a protective shield to fend off the insects.

The Sacred Gu suddenly grew larger, reaching the size of an egg.

Its black, sharp mandibles clamped down on the spiritual energy shield.

It was like a high-frequency vibrating knife, continuously gnawing at the sturdy surface of

the shield.

With each bite, the spiritual energy shield emitted slight tremors, as if groaning in pain.

The speed of the Sacred Gu's bites was extremely fast; in an instant, it had bitten into the

shield.

Suddenly, cracks appeared in the spiritual energy shield, and it shattered.

With looks of horror on their faces, each of the two men had three Sacred Gus burrow into

their bodies.

In a moment, both of them ceased to breathe.

With their deaths, the flying swords that had been aimed at Song Wen lost their power, and he

easily swept them up, storing them in his storage ring.

Song Wen then entered the passage.

With a flick of his fingers!

A burst of spiritual energy shot out.

The iron mask on the masked man's face was struck off by the spiritual energy.

When he saw the face beneath the mask, a surge of killing intent suddenly welled up in Song Wen's heart.

The masked man was none other than Wang Ming, who was supposed to have received the

death penalty.

Three years ago, Feng Xinghai had publicly sentenced Wang Ming to death in front of Song

Wen and Fang Pengyi.

Over three years had passed, and not only was Wang Ming alive, but he was also vividly

present in the secret realm.

He even wore an iron mask to conceal his appearance and aura.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

It was clear that Feng Xinghai had not executed Wang Ming; instead, he had secretly spared

Wang Ming's life, allowing him to work for Feng Qi and assist in exploring the secret realm.

Feng Xinghai had deceived everyone in the Beastmaster Sect.

Song Wen believed he couldn't do anything about Feng Xinghai, but since Feng Qi was in the

secret realm, he could still take revenge.

He released a Sacred Gu, hiding it in the crevices of the cliff outside the passage.

Song Wen then cast the Soul Binding Technique, sealing the souls of the two men within their

respective corpses.

He then stored the two bodies in his storage ring.

After completing this, Song Wen released a few lightning techniques to disperse the residual

aura of the Sacred Gus in the passage with the overwhelming pressure of the lightning.

Song Wen used the Lightning Escape Technique and headed deeper into the passage.

Amid the intricate and complex passages, he chose only the downward-sloping ones, hoping

to delve deeper into the ground.

The underground dark river, which nurtured the Yin Yang Blood Weeping Branches, lay deep

below.

Not long after Song Wen left, Lei Yuhua also entered the passage, not pausing for a moment

before disappearing into it.

Mu Yunxin and Xue Gu hovered not far from the entrance of the passage, suspended in mid-

air.

With Lei Yuhua fleeing into the maze-like passage, there was no chance of catching up.

The two exchanged glances, shook their heads, and flew back toward the great hall.

Feng Qi, who had originally followed behind them, saw them change direction and was now

coming toward him.

Not wanting to clash with the two, Feng Qi quickly distanced himself.

Mu Yunxin and Xue Gu had no intention of entangling with Feng Qi either and directly flew

toward the great hall.

This made Feng Qi breathe a sigh of relief.

He flew into the exit passage on his sword.

Earlier, he had sensed the fluctuations of spiritual energy from the battle between Wang Ming

and Leng Tianlu against Song Wen from a distance.

However, due to the distance, he was unclear about the process and outcome of the battle.

After carefully examining the remnants of the battle, Feng Qi concluded that Wang Ming and

Leng Tianlu were both dead.
