Record of a Demon's Cultivation-Chapter 453: The Frenzied Malevolent Qi

Translator: Cinder Translations

---

Half a month later.

The underground corpse pit suddenly trembled violently.

The vibration affected the mountain on one side of the pit, as well as the surrounding area at the foot of the mountain, causing them to slightly shake.

Countless loose stones fell from the mountainside, rolling down to the foot of the mountain, creating a booming sound.

Inside the corpse pit.

The black malevolent corpse qi surged like a raging dragon, pouring out from the stone platform.

The bone residue danced wildly!

Xing Yixuan and her two companions were in a state of disarray.

The force of the malevolent Qi swept through them, pinning them firmly against the rock walls of the corpse pit.

Ma Qi summoned his silver bell-shaped magical treasure.

The silver bell formed a massive bell-shaped illusion, enclosing the three of them and protecting them.

Xing Yixuan and Niu Ying also used their techniques to help reduce the pressure on Ma Qi.

The intense malevolent Qi, unable to dissipate, surged into the narrow stone stairway like a wild torrent.

"Boom!"

The rubble at the entrance of the passage was instantly blasted away, scattering in all directions.

The malevolent Qi surged out of the passage, like a flood dragon escaping the sea, scattering the surrounding ghostly energy in disarray.

After a moment, the malevolent Qi gradually subsided.

Only then did the three of them manage to free themselves from the rock walls.

Ma Qi wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, his face showing a mixture of lingering fear and dissatisfaction as he spoke.

"Niu Ying, is this the so-called formation you mentioned? The formation was broken, but what about that shockwave of malevolent Qi? You almost got us killed!"

Niu Ying's face was slightly pale, as breaking the formation had drained a large amount of his magical energy.

If it hadn't been for Xing Yixuan's quick reaction and timely help, he likely would have perished from the violent shockwave of the malevolent Qi.

Niu Ying, not one to accept blame, retorted, "Who could have known that the formation would seal such a vast amount of malevolent corpse qi? Anyone who attempts to break the formation would have to face the shockwave."

Ma Qi responded with some disdain, "But you previously boasted in front of the miss that breaking the formation wouldn't cause much disturbance. After that shockwave of malevolent Qi, it's uncertain whether the treasures on the stone platform are still intact."

Xing Yixuan furrowed her brows and looked at the two of them, speaking in a low voice, "Alright, now is not the time to argue about this. Let's retrieve the treasures from the stone platform and leave as quickly as possible. The commotion we just caused might have already attracted the attention of others."

When she said "others," she was, of course, referring to the Jing family.

In this secret realm, apart from a few unknown Nascent Soul cultivators, the only person who could threaten her was Jing Lie from the Jing family.

After Xing Yixuan finished speaking, Ma Qi and Niu Ying fell silent.

The three of them, alert, leapt into the air and approached the stone platform at the center of the corpse pit.

There was no danger or anomaly on the stone platform.

A number of crystals were scattered across the stone platform.

The crystals were about the size of a child's fist, in a regular diamond shape, and were entirely black.

There were more than two hundred crystals scattered on the stone platform, haphazardly arranged across the ground, clearly disturbed by the previous shockwave of malevolent Qi.

"Are these the malevolent crystals?" Xing Yixuan asked, her tone somewhat disappointed.

Although these malevolent crystals were worth more than two hundred thousand spirit stones, they were far from the priceless treasures Xing Yixuan had been hoping for.

Niu Ying said, "This place was probably where the malevolent crystals were refined. The bone residue in the corpse pit is the leftover material after refining the malevolent corpse qi."

Xing Yixuan, no longer interested in breaking the formation, casually waved her hand, using her magical energy to sweep across the stone platform, collecting all the malevolent crystals.

"Some malevolent crystals must have fallen into the bone residue pile. Let's split up and search for them."

The three of them separated and began searching around the corpse pit.

Due to the earlier shockwave from the stone platform, the ghostly mist that had once filled the pit was mostly swept out.

Now, the pit was primarily filled with malevolent Qi, and the ghostly mist had thinned out.

This allowed the three of them to extend their spiritual senses further.

With their spiritual senses stretched out, they could now sense most of the corpse pit, making it easier to search for the malevolent crystals.

Not long after, the three of them found several more malevolent crystals.

Suddenly!

A wind blade, over ten feet long and shaped like a crescent moon, shot out from the stone stairway passage. It was silent as it darted toward Xing Yixuan, who was closest to the exit.

Facing this sudden ambush, Xing Yixuan reacted swiftly.

Her figure flickered, and with near-instantaneous speed, she narrowly dodged the wind blade.

As if it had a consciousness, the wind blade arced eerily through the air, continuing to chase after Xing Yixuan.

Xing Yixuan's mind stirred, and she summoned a flying sword.

The wind blade was shredded by the flying sword and dissipated into the air.

However, before Xing Yixuan could catch her breath, a series of sharp sounds from the breaking air came from behind her.

Countless wind blades surged into the stone stairway passage, forming a long dragon of wind blades rushing toward Xing Yixuan.

Xing Yixuan's expression turned serious, and her figure abruptly retreated.

At the same time, she sheathed her flying sword and summoned the Flag of Waves.

As the Flag swirled, several torrents of water surged out to clash with the wind blade dragon.

"Jing Lie, you dare ambush me but are too afraid to show yourself?"

In this secret realm, only Jing Lie, a Golden Core Cultivator skilled in wind-type techniques, could use such methods.

As for the Nascent Soul cultivators, if they wanted to kill Xing Yixuan, they wouldn't need to resort to ambushes.

As soon as Xing Yixuan's words left her mouth, three figures suddenly appeared at the entrance of the corpse pit.

It was Jing Lie and two other Golden Core Cultivators from the Jing family.

The three from the Jing family said nothing. Each used their methods to attack Xing Yixuan simultaneously.

Under the siege of the three, Xing Yixuan didn't dare to hold back and could only focus on defending.

"Don't harm the miss!" Niu Ying bellowed.

His magical energy was severely depleted, so he didn't rashly rush forward.

Instead, he summoned four small flags and attempted to set up a formation to block the three Jing family cultivators' attacks.

Ma Qi, on the other hand, activated the silver bell.

The silver bell enlarged to a size of one zhang (about 10 feet) and flew above Xing Yixuan's head, forming a giant silver bell illusion to ease the pressure on her.

Seeing this, Jing Lie sneered coldly.

He waved his Flag of Wind Dragon, and the wind blade dragon immediately shifted course, aiming directly at Ma Qi.

Ma Qi's face changed drastically. He recalled the silver bell to defend, but it was already too late.

He hastily summoned a flying sword, which gleamed with cold light as it slashed at the wind blade dragon.

However, Ma Qi's cultivation was already weaker than Jing Lie's, and he was injured. He was no match for Jing Lie.

The flying sword was easily swept away by the continuous wind blades.

The wind blades kept coming, relentlessly cutting at Ma Qi.

"Poof!"

A muffled sound followed.

One of the wind blades struck Ma Qi's chest.

It cleaved him in two!

Then, under the relentless assault of the wind blades, Ma Qi's broken body and soul were shredded into fragments.

Blood scattered everywhere, staining the decayed bone residue and parts of the stone platform.

"Ma Qi!"

Xing Yixuan let out a roar of grief and anger.

Her eyes turned crimson, and she glared at Jing Lie and the others.

She flicked her Flag of Wind Dragon, and torrents of water surged toward the three attackers.

Niu Ying, watching the blood mist fill the air, also felt a pang of sorrow.

It wasn't that he had any deep bond with Ma Qi, but after the wind blade dragon had killed Ma Qi, it turned around and rushed toward him.
