Record of a Demon's Cultivation

Chapter 333: Yin Yang Blood Weeping Branch



Translator: Cinder Translations

Rong Jingyun knew in her heart that once she was entangled by the three of them, there would be little chance of escape.

This underground cavern would become her burial place.

Time was pressing, and Rong Jingyun had no time to dodge the attacks from the demon- exorcising staff.

She kept the fire cauldron behind her, not dodging or avoiding, and continued to rush toward the river's exit.

"Clang!"

The demon-exorcising staff struck the fire cauldron.

The tremendous impact sent the fire cauldron flying forward, colliding perfectly with Rong Jingyun's back.

"Pff!"

Rong Jingyun spat out a mouthful of blood.

Stumbling, she accelerated and charged ahead.

Just as she was about to plunge into the river, a sharp, piercing sound suddenly came from behind her.

It was a thick stalagmite, over two meters long.

It was Jie Wu!

Seeing that he couldn't catch up to Rong Jingyun, he casually ripped off a stalagmite and threw it with all his might at her.

Rong Jingyun used all her strength to unleash a wave of spiritual energy, hitting the stalagmite.

The stalagmite immediately exploded into countless fragments.

Before Rong Jingyun could breathe a sigh of relief, another series of piercing sounds rang out as several thick stalagmites came hurtling toward her.

With their immense force, Rong Jingyun dared not underestimate them and could only focus on shattering them one by one.

Next, the demon-exorcising staff regrouped and attacked again.

Under the relentless assault from Jie Wu and Jie Se, Rong Jingyun was exhausted from defending herself and slowed down, allowing Jie se to catch up to her.

After blocking the demon-exorcising staff once again, Rong Jingyun couldn't dodge in time and was struck in the chest by a large stalagmite.

The sharp stalagmite crashed against her chest.

It shattered instantly.

Rong Jingyun was violently knocked back.

"Bang bang bang..."

A series of crashing sounds erupted.

Rong Jingyun broke several hanging stalactites before finally stopping, crashing down beside the river.

The continuous violent impacts injured her internal organs severely.

"Cough cough cough..."

Rong Jingyun collapsed to the ground, coughing up several mouthfuls of blood, with fragments of her internal organs mixed in.

Jie Se flashed over and hovered above Rong Jingyun.

His gaze slowly swept across her body, filled with lewd desire.

"Though your appearance may have aged a bit, your charm still remains, with a unique allure."

Jie Se commented on Rong Jingyun like a hungry ghost obsessed with lust.

He seemed utterly impatient!

Meanwhile, Jie Hui, who was using the light from his fireball technique to observe the cavern, suddenly brightened his eyes.

Next to the river, among a tangle of stalagmites, a spiritual plant was growing.

The plant was about a foot tall, with twenty-four small leaves; half of them were white, and

half were jet black.

It was the Ying Yang Blood Weeping Branch, an essential herb for refining the Golden Core

Pill.

Every twenty years, the Ying Yang Blood Weeping Branch grows a new leaf.

This meant that the Ying Yang Blood Weeping Branch before them was nearly a hundred years

old.

Such an aged Ying Yang Blood Weeping Branch was rare even in the Canglan Secret Realm.

A Ying Yang Blood Weeping Branch over a hundred years old could already be used for refining

the Golden Core Pill.

The Ying Yang Blood Weeping Branch grew among the stalagmites, and because it was beyond the perception range of Jie Hui and the others, they had not discovered its presence when they first entered the cavern.

With a look of ecstatic joy, Jie Hui's expression shifted to one of caution.

Wherever the Ying Yang Blood Weeping Branch grew, powerful beasts often resided.

However, despite their fierce battle in the cavern, they had yet to see any sign of beasts.

Could it be that this Ying Yang Blood Weeping Branch was unguarded by any beasts?

Jie Hui speculated in his heart.

"Jie Wu, Jie Se, be careful and stay alert; there's a Ying Yang Blood Weeping Branch here."

Jie Hui loudly reminded her companions.

Upon hearing this, Jie Wu's expression lit up with joy.

"What! You really found the Ying Yang Blood Weeping Branch!"

Jie Wu exclaimed, rushing toward Jie Hui.

Jie Se also showed a happy expression. He looked at Rong Jingyun, and his lewd gaze

gradually retracted.

"I was planning to let you live a bit longer, allowing you to experience the subtlety of the

Joyful Buddhist Sutra before you die. But since there's a Ying Yang Blood Weeping Branch here, there may be beasts lurking around. It seems you won't have the chance to comprehend the Joyful Buddhist Sutra after all. What a pity."

Jie Se wore an expression full of regret.

He circulated his spiritual energy and activated the demon-exorcising staff.

The demon-exorcising staff shone with golden light, piercing through the air with a harsh, shrill sound as it stabbed down toward the heavily injured Rong Jingyun.

On the brink of life and death, Rong Jingyun, despite her severe injuries, forcibly activated the

fire cauldron to protect herself.

However, contrary to expectations, the scene of the demon-exorcising staff striking the fire

cauldron did not occur.

As the demon-exorcising staff approached Rong Jingyun, a few meters away, suddenly, an ice column shot up from the river beside her.

The ice column was about a meter thick and over ten meters long, emitting a ghostly blue cold

light.

This made the ice column appear less like it was formed from ice crystals and more like it was

made of metal.

The demon-exorcising staff struck the ice column.

Several cracks quickly spread within the ice column.

With a loud "bang," the ice column shattered into several pieces and fell down.

The demon-exorcising staff was also blocked.

The sudden turn of events made Jie Se's eyes narrow, and he stared at the river with a wary

expression.

Rong Jingyun, who had just escaped death, was equally astonished as she looked at the river

beside her.

Just moments ago, the place where the ice column had erupted from was less than a yard away

from her.

At such a close distance, she hadn't sensed any life in the river.

Suddenly, a tentacle shot out from underwater, curling toward Rong Jingyun by the riverbank.

The tentacle was about the thickness of a human waist.

What was peculiar was that the tentacle was almost transparent.

If it remained still underwater and emitted no fluctuations of spiritual energy, it would be

very difficult to detect its presence.

Rong Jingyun, knowing her current condition, understood that she could not evade the attack

of the tentacle.

She activated the fire cauldron and turned it upside down.

The fire cauldron enveloped her.

The tentacle wrapped around both her and the cauldron, dragging them both into the water.

In the distance, Jie Hui and Jie Wu were stunned at this scene.

Their attention had been solely on the Ying Yang Blood Weeping Branch.

They had already anticipated the presence of beasts in the cavern.

However, the location where the beasts were hiding should have been near the Ying Yang

Blood Weeping Branch, not beside Rong Jingyun, who was several miles away.

But soon, the two realized.

The stalagmite group where the Ying Yang Blood Weeping Branch grew was only a few meters

away from the riverbank.

It was practically adjacent to the river.

It wouldn't be surprising for a beast to hide within the waters.

The beast was likely attracted by the earlier battle and had stealthily concealed itself nearby.

With Rong Jingyun gravely injured and lying by the river, Jie Se was preparing to land a fatal

blow on her, which would lead the less intelligent water beast to mistakenly believe it was

being attacked.

So, the beast summoned an ice column to block the demon-exorcising staff?

Upon realizing this, Jie Hui's eyes lit up.

If the beast had gone downstream, didn't that mean that the Ying Yang Blood Weeping

Branch was currently unguarded?

Suddenly, an ominous aura surged around him, and he transformed into a blur, swiftly racing

toward the Ying Yang Blood Weeping Branch.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

When he was less than a hundred meters away from it, Jie Hui could already sense the Ying

Yang Blood Weeping Branch.

He extended his right hand, and a foul aura shot from his palm.

The foul energy coiled around the base of the Ying Yang Blood Weeping Branch like a chain.

Jie Hui intended to use the foul energy chain to pull the Ying Yang Blood Weeping Branch up from a distance.
