Record of a Demon's Cultivation

Chapter 272: The Overturned Corpse Coffin



Translator: Cinder Translations

Just as Zhong Liang was at a loss for what to do, he suddenly heard a sound of something breaking through the air from behind.

Turning around, he was surprised to see Miao Fa's staff.

Zhong Liang quickly summoned a flying sword to strike at the staff.

At the same time, he hurriedly flipped over, crossing over the bronze corpse coffin, and hid himself beside it.

He knew that the flying sword he summoned in a hurry couldn't possibly block Miao Fa's full- force strike.

Just as he anticipated, the flying sword was easily knocked away by the staff, which then continued its momentum and struck the coffin.

"Clang!"

A sharp, prolonged ringing echoed.

The bronze coffin was suddenly knocked over, and the wooden statue inside slid out, rolling down to Zhong Liang's feet.

It was as if a long-slumbering ghost was awakened, and a chilling aura emanated from the statue.

Simultaneously, due to the overturning of the bronze coffin, two blood-red jade slips that had been hidden at the bottom of the coffin were revealed.

Zhong Liang's expression brightened with joy as he quickly stowed away the two blood-red jade slips.

Then, he swiftly descended from the platform, distancing himself from the wooden statue.

At the moment the statue hit the ground, the three copper corpses suddenly became extremely violent. They abandoned the cultivators entangled with them and turned to attack Miao Fa.

Even the copper corpse trapped by the Flame Extreme Whip disregarded the intense heat and charged directly at Miao Fa.

Seeing this, Tang Fu hurriedly released the copper corpse and swung the Flame Extreme Whip toward Zhong Liang.

"Elder Tang, stop! We already have the techniques; once we're out, I'll make a copy for you," Zhong Liang said anxiously.

"How could I possibly trust you again?" Tang Fu retorted angrily.

"In this place fraught with danger, do you want to die here with me?" Zhong Liang replied.

Clearly, prior to this, Zhong Liang hadn't known what treasures lay within the bronze corpse coffin.

He initially thought of claiming the treasures for himself, but aside from the statue and the two jade slips, there was nothing else.

Zhong Liang dared not recklessly touch the strange statue; the blood-red jade slips should contain the techniques that could help break through bottlenecks, and making a copy for Tang Fu wouldn't result in any loss for him.

Tang Fu glanced at Miao Fa and the three copper corpses surrounding him.

"Fine, I'll trust you once more. However, I want both blood-red jade slips; you can take the copy you make."

"Agreed," Zhong Liang nodded.

"Hopefully, you'll keep your word this time; otherwise, I'll let you experience the taste of the Flame Extreme Whip burning your body," Tang Fu coldly threatened Zhong Liang before turning to Tang Si beside him.

"Tang Si, lead the others to attack the stone door; let's escape first."

The Tang family and the loose cultivators, a total of eight people, worked together to control their spirit weapons and attacked the stone door.

On the other side.

Miao Fa and the other three monks were surrounded by the three copper corpses from different directions.

"Tang Fu, Zhong Liang, you two are untrustworthy; you will not have a good end!"

He cursed while manipulating the golden bowl to control one copper corpse.

At the same time, he also wielded his staff to strike at another copper corpse.

The remaining three monks combined their efforts to hold off the third copper corpse.

Alone, Miao Fa could not withstand two copper corpses.

After one copper corpse knocked the staff away, it charged at the three monks.

Seeing this, the three monks fell into a panic.

In their haste, one of them mistakenly performed the wrong hand sign for their spell.

The copper corpse that had been blocked by the three monks immediately broke free and attacked them.

Under the siege of the two copper corpses, within just a few breaths, the three monks were overwhelmed.

The two copper corpses turned around and charged at Miao Fa.

Miao Fa was greatly alarmed; he raised his hand and tossed a bead the size of a pigeon egg.

The bead was translucent and radiated a profound Buddhist aura.

As the bead flew above Miao Fa's head, a brilliant light burst forth.

The three copper corpses, illuminated by the light, instantly froze in place, unable to move.

Zhong Liang and Tang Fu, who were attacking the stone door, both displayed expressions of

shock at this scene.

"Relic seed!"

The relic seed is a sacred object of Buddhist cultivation, preserved using secret Buddhist techniques after the practitioner passes away. It is typically enshrined in Buddhist temples and has the effect of enlightening future generations in Buddhist nature.

Within the relic seed lies the essence of a practitioner's lifetime of Buddhist cultivation, making it a holy object that restrains evil entities like ghosts and zombies.

Under the illumination of the Buddhist light, the corpse qi of the three copper corpses rapidly diminished, and even their physical forms showed signs of burns.

Seeing this, Miao Fa did not attack the copper corpses; instead, he activated his staff and

swung it toward Tang Fu.

"Smack!"

Tang Fu cracked the Flame Extreme Whip against the staff, successfully blocking the strike.

"Miao Fa, are you seeking death?"

Miao Fa retorted, "You treacherous villain! You've caused the deaths of my three disciples; I

will crush your body into a thousand pieces!"

"I see you, Miao Fa, being hypocritical. If you had taken out the relic seed earlier, your three disciples wouldn't have died," Tang Fu shot back.

"Hmph!"

As Miao Fa was about to activate the staff again, the relic seed above his head suddenly madeNôv(el)B\\jnn

a cracking sound, revealing a fine crack.

"Oh no, this relic seed has been enshrined for too long, and its essence has nearly depleted; it won't last much longer," Miao Fa thought anxiously.

Though the corpse qi of the three copper corpses had been weakened to some extent, they

were still far from being defeated.

Miao Fa glared furiously at Tang Fu.

Then, between avenging his disciples and saving his own life, he chose the latter.

Miao Fa turned the staff around and struck the stone door.

Seeing that Miao Fa was no longer attacking him, Tang Fu breathed a sigh of relief.

Under the combined efforts of everyone's relentless assaults, the stone door suddenly emitted a crisp sound and opened a small crack.

Everyone rejoiced, and after another round of attacks, the stone door finally broke open

enough for two people to pass through.

A Tang family cultivator rushed out first.

However, what awaited him was not an escape route, but a terrifying corpse puppet.

The silver corpse pounced down with a claw.

The Tang family cultivator immediately had his head severed and fell to the ground.

The silver corpse stood before the stone door, emanating an overwhelming and formidable

aura.

It had the imposing presence of a single man standing against a thousand.

The over a thousand Yellow Essence Mushrooms obtained from the Su family, which

contained vibrant life energy, had all been refined and absorbed by the silver corpse.

At this moment, the silver corpse was no longer the decayed figure it once was.

Its flesh and internal organs had regained some vitality; if it weren't for the lack of a heartbeat and breathing, it could even be mistaken for a gaunt corpse cultivator.

Song Wen stood behind the silver corpse and shouted loudly.

"Hand over the two blood-red jade slips obtained in the stone hall, and I will let you leave;

otherwise, you will all become fodder for the copper corpses in the stone hall."

With the Sacred Gu hidden inside the hall, Song Wen was fully aware of everything happening

inside.

Zhong Liang shouted angrily, "You're delusional! Get lost!"

Before he finished speaking, a flying sword sliced out in rage.

The silver corpse swiped its claw, glowing with a ghostly light, and struck out.

"Clang!"

The flying sword was knocked away with a swipe.

The silver corpse merely swayed its upper body slightly, absorbing the impact of the flying

sword without retreating an inch.

Just at that moment.

The relic seed controlling the three copper corpses suddenly shattered into powder,

scattering everywhere.

The copper corpses regained their freedom and charged toward the stone door.

Everyone inside the stone hall was immediately thrown into panic.

In front stood the blocking silver corpse, and behind them were the deadly copper corpses.

"Attack together! I don't believe he can stop all of us," Zhong Liang shouted loudly.

Hearing this, everyone understood the urgency of the situation and had no other choice.

They began to activate their spirit weapons and attack the silver corpse outside the door.

Song Wen sneered, "You're seeking your own death."

With a thought, the Ghost King suddenly appeared, wielding a ghostly sword that he slashed

toward the stone door.

The silver corpse swung its claws, unleashing three claw lights formed from corpse qi toward

the hall.
