Record of a Demon's Cultivation

Chapter 334: Jie Se’s Death



Translator: Cinder Translations

"Splash!"

A deafening sound of water breaking echoed.

Suddenly, a tentacle shot up from the water, sweeping towards Jie Hui and simultaneously crushing the foul energy chain.

This tentacle was only as thick as a bucket, but when it emerged from the river, it extended several meters long.

Jie Hui's expression tightened.

At this moment, he realized that the water beast wasn't drawn downstream but had an extremely elongated body.

Whether it was the Ying Yang Blood Weeping Branch or the heavily injured Rong Jingyun several miles downstream, they were all within its attack range.

The length of this beast's body was almost unbelievable.

Jie Hui retreated rapidly.

A large amount of foul energy overflowed from his mouth.

At this moment, he formed a Buddha Seal with his hands in front of his chest.

With the activation of the Buddha Seal, the foul energy began to condense in the air.

In the blink of an eye, a ten-zhang tall, dark and sinister Buddha materialized.

The Buddha held one hand with the Buddha Seal and struck toward the elongated tentacle with the other.

"Boom!"

The two forces collided.

The tentacle trembled slightly and was pushed back.

The Buddha's palm dissipated, and the foul energy dispersed into the air.

"Jie Wu, Jie Se, help me kill this demon!"

Jie Hui shouted loudly.

Jie Wu, a giant man over a zhang tall, gathered strength in his legs and leaped toward the tentacle.

He swung his fist down with all his might toward the tentacle.

The golden fist smashed firmly against the tentacle.

A burst of blood mist erupted.

The tentacle was cut off with a single blow.

A segment of the tentacle, over a meter long, fell down.

However, since the tentacle had already emerged from the water, it was several meters long. Losing just over a meter was not a significant injury to it.

The severed portion of the tentacle, however, took the opportunity to wrap around Jie Wu.

The tentacle coiled tightly, fully encircling Jie Wu.

At that moment, the tentacle squeezed with all its strength, trying to crush Jie Wu into minced meat.

Jie Wu's face contorted in rage, his muscles bulging as veins like long worms writhed beneath his skin.

"Open!"

Jie Wu summoned all his strength but found that he couldn't break free from the tentacle.

The tentacle rapidly retracted, dragging Jie Wu into the river.

Jie Se, who was rushing downstream, saw this scene.

He suddenly activated the demon-exorcising staff, aiming it at a relatively calm section of the water's surface.

The demon-exorcising staff shone with golden light, piercing into the water and causing a

huge splash.

"Eek..."

A strange, howling cry emerged from beneath the water.

"Splash!"

A semi-transparent monster surfaced from the depths.

The monster resembled a jellyfish, appearing semi-transparent, allowing a clear view of its

internal organs.

Its body was only a few zhang in size, but it had eight tentacles, each as thick as a bucket, all extending three to four zhang long, giving it a very elongated and bizarre appearance.

Two of its tentacles coiled around Jie Wu and Rong Jingyun.

The monster had a hole the size of a grinding disk on its head, from which a viscous liquid

flowed continuously.

It was clear that it had been injured by the demon-exorcising staff.

With its head wounded and in immense pain, the monster became extraordinarily furious.

Its tentacles flailed wildly in the air, throwing Jie Wu and Rong Jingyun away.

Jie Wu was launched like a cannonball, crashing to the ground, tumbling and smashing through countless stalagmites before finally coming to a stop.

The violent impact severely injured Jie Wu.

Over half of his bones were shattered, and his hands and feet twisted and deformed, oddly

folding together.

His Arhat Golden Body had been broken, returning him to his true form, his aura drifting as he

lay on the ground.

Rong Jingyun's situation was about to improve significantly.

She was knocked into the river, but with the Flame Fire Cauldron protecting her, she did not

suffer significant damage from this strike.

However, she was still heavily injured.

When the Flame Fire Cauldron crashed into the water, the tremendous impact aggravated her internal injuries, causing her intense pain as if her organs were shifting.

After catching her breath for a moment, Rong Jingyun gritted her teeth against the excruciating pain and flipped out of the Flame Fire Cauldron, slipping into the river and

making her way downstream.

Not far downstream, there was a dark passage where the river flowed out of a cave.

As long as she could enter the passage, she would have a chance to escape from this

predicament.

At that moment, the monster's attention was focused entirely on Jie Se, providing the best opportunity for Rong Jingyun to escape.

After throwing Rong Jingyun and Jie Wu away, the monster's eight tentacles all converged

towards Jie Se.

Jie Se's expression turned terrified, and he retreated rapidly.

Under his command, the Demon-Exorcising Staff lunged at the tentacle.

The monster sacrificed one of its tentacles to withdraw the Demon-Exorcising Staff toward

the other end of the cave, far beyond Jie Se's range of spiritual control, making it impossible

for him to retrieve it for the time being.

Several tentacles from different angles wrapped around Jie Se.

Jie Se tried to control his body to dodge left and right in the air, but ultimately he could not

escape the encirclement of the eight tentacles.

The eight tentacles drew closer, gradually compressing Jie Se's space to move.

In the end, with nowhere to flee, Jie Se was trapped in the center, tightly surrounded by the

tentacles.

If it weren't for the golden Buddha light emanating from his kasaya, and lacking a powerful

physique like Jie Wu's, he would have been crushed into a pile of flesh long ago.

"Jie Hui, help me!"Nôv(el)B\\jnn

Jie Se cried out desperately.

At that moment, Jie Hui flew over to Jie Wu's side and fed him two pills.

Upon hearing Jie Se's plea for help, Jie Hui looked up.

He saw the eight tentacles chaotically entangled together, forming a massive ball of flesh.

The tentacles tightened around their prey like a giant python, continually constricting.

Jie Hui took out a human skin drum and lightly tapped it.

A muffled drumbeat echoed.

The monster's tentacles, which had been tightening, suddenly showed a tendency to stop

contracting.

However, in less than a breath's time, the monster broke free from the drum's illusion and

resumed tightening its tentacles, showing no signs of stopping until Jie Se was dead.

Seeing this, a flicker of hesitation crossed Jie Hui's eyes.

From the records left by past cultivators who entered the secret realm, there was

documentation about this monster.

The creature was called the Stinging Mother Beast, a powerful demon that lived in the water.

The Stinging Mother Beast before him was at the peak of the second tier, equivalent to a peak foundation establishment cultivator.

However, within the Canglan Secret Realm, the cultivators' spiritual consciousness was suppressed, severely limiting the attack range they could control.

In battle, they would inevitably feel restricted.

When facing a monster like the Stinging Mother Beast, which had long-range attack

capabilities, it was even more difficult.

"Jie Hui! Hurry and come save me, I can't hold on much longer!"

Jie Se urged from within the encircled ball of flesh.

Hearing this, Jie Hui, who had been hesitating, made his decision.

He dragged Jie Wu and leaped back into the cold pool, not looking back.

Only the sounds of Jie Se's cries for help and curses echoed in the cave.

"Jie Hui, what are you doing? Come save me!"

Not realizing Jie Hui had already left, Jie Se continued to urge him.

"Jie Hui, you greedy coward, do you really want to abandon me?"

Gradually, a hint of despair crept into Jie Se's voice.

"Jie Hui, I beg you, come save me, I don't want to die here."

After a long time without receiving a response, Jie Se began to plead pitifully.

"Jie Hui, you ungrateful wretch, have you forgotten that I saved your life from the hands of the Corpse Demon Sect?"

Amidst Jie Se's curses, the tentacles continued to constrict.

The kasaya could gradually no longer withstand the immense force of the tightening

tentacles, and the golden light it emitted slowly dimmed.

"Ah..."

In an instant, the kasaya's golden light suddenly vanished, and the tentacles abruptly closed

in.

Jie Se was instantly crushed into a pulp.

The transparent tentacles turned red with his blood.
