Record of a Demon's Cultivation-Chapter 620: War Erupts

Translator: Cinder Translations

---

"Zhu Yin, when the war starts, as long as Daoist Lan Yin is drawn away by the demon army, we will find the weaker parts of their forces and escape immediately," Song Wen transmitted with his spiritual sense.

Both he and Zhu Yin had advanced to the early stages of the Nascent Soul realm, and were not afraid of being secretly eavesdropped on by Daoist Lan Yin.

If Daoist Lan Yin tried to eavesdrop, Song Wen and Zhu Yin would definitely sense it.

They only needed to immediately stop transmitting to avoid being overheard.

"Ji Yin, I want to give my full support to the Liangyi Sect and finish this human-demon war tonight," Zhu Yin sent through spiritual transmission.

"Why?" Song Wen asked, his tone filled with confusion.

"The human-demon war is a battle for the survival of our race. As high-level cultivators of the human race, we must contribute to the fight," Zhu Yin said with righteous fervor.

Song Wen did not believe a word of what Zhu Yin said.

"Do you think I'm a three-year-old child? Tell me the truth," Song Wen replied.

"I want to establish a good relationship with the Liangyi Sect," Zhu Yin revealed her true intention.

Song Wen instantly understood what she meant.

She had betrayed the Wu Ji Sect, and Yin Shuo would definitely not let her off easily. He would undoubtedly try to kill her.

If Zhu Yin could make an alliance with the Liangyi Sect, although they probably wouldn't break ties with the Wu Ji Sect just for her, they might offer her some help in secret.

In that case, Zhu Yin's cultivation and survival would be much easier in the future.

Song Wen thought for a moment before responding.

"I can assist you. But, if the demon forces are too strong and the Liangyi Sect is unable to withstand them, you must escape with me immediately."

"Thank you!" Zhu Yin responded.

Just as they finished their spiritual communication, they heard Daoist Lan Yin's loud shout.

"Everyone, prepare your attack spells, the demon army will be out soon."

Through the transmission of the foundation-building cultivators, Daoist Lan Yin's command reached the ears of every Qi Refining cultivator.

Every cultivator began preparing their attack spells, and various glows lit up above the city walls.

Below the city walls, the sea was surging as a large number of sea demons gradually appeared.

A group of sea demons, each about two inches long, leapt out of the waves.

These sea demons were called Bloodmouth Beasts, resembling pufferfish but with short limbs, mouths full of sharp teeth, and spines along their backs.

They had suckers on their limbs, which allowed them to stick firmly to the city wall.

After landing, the Bloodmouth Beasts moved their limbs and quickly crawled toward the top of the city wall.

On the long city walls, the Bloodmouth Beasts appeared densely packed.

"Fire!"

Daoist Lan Yin shouted.

Suddenly, the city walls erupted with brilliant flames, spells glittering, and talismans flying...

Talismans, spells, magic tools, poisons, miasma... a variety of attacks poured down from the top of the wall.

The Bloodmouth Beasts were overwhelmed by the various attacks from the Qi Refining cultivators.

In an instant, blood flooded the area, severed limbs flew, and the agonized cries of the Bloodmouth Beasts echoed, as if the entire sea was being drowned in their wails.

The Bloodmouth Beasts in the sea seemed endless. They surged forward in waves, like a tide.

As soon as one group of Bloodmouth Beasts was killed, more jumped out of the water, scrambling to climb the high walls.

Their twisted faces and blood-red eyes became even more distorted and crazy under the light of various spells.

The Bloodmouth Beasts were part of the demon army's suicide squad. They had low intelligence, were easy to control, and had tough bodies, making them ideal cannon fodder and vanguards for charge and assault.

While feeding the Bloodmouth Beasts, the demons would occasionally throw live humans into the sea to sustain them.

After a long period of time, the low-intelligence Bloodmouth Beasts developed the belief that humans were food.

In order to drive the Bloodmouth Beasts into a frenzy, they would stop feeding them half a month before the battle began.

Hunger was the best stimulant, capable of fully triggering the wild nature of the Bloodmouth Beasts.

Among the group of Bloodmouth Beasts, there were a few second-tier demons mixed in.

These second-tier demons, although slightly larger, looked very similar to the Bloodmouth Beasts. They were called Jaw-tooth Porpoises.

Unlike the low-intelligence, frenzied Bloodmouth Beasts, the Jaw-tooth Porpoises were highly intelligent and fully conscious.

They blended into the Bloodmouth Beast group, using the Beasts to block the endless attacks while slowly advancing toward the top of the city wall.

The main task of the foundation-building cultivators was to stop these Jaw-tooth Porpoises.

As for Song Wen and other Golden Core cultivators, besides handling the occasional demon that climbed the wall, they had not yet truly engaged in battle.

The Bloodmouth Beasts and Jaw-tooth Porpoises were merely used to exhaust the human race's fighting strength. The real forces that would decide the direction of the battlefield were the third and fourth-tier demon beasts, as well as the Golden Core cultivators and Nascent Soul powerhouses of the human race.

Suddenly...

On the sea surface, ten miles from the city wall, two towering water columns shot up to a height of ten zhang.

At the top of each column stood a demon with the body of a woman and the tail of a fish.

The demons had beautiful female upper bodies, completely naked with skin as delicate as jade, resembling the shark people Song Wen had encountered earlier.

These two shark people were at the late stages of the third tier.

They opened their red lips, revealing a mouth full of sharp, dense teeth.

As their tongues flicked, a high-pitched and clear song rang through the entire battlefield.

This song had an extraordinary penetrating power, cutting through the chaos of the battlefield like an invisible blade, reaching the ears of all the cultivators and demons present.

The song directly affected the hearts and minds of both the cultivators and demons, as if invisible tendrils were reaching into their souls, stirring up a surge of bloodlust, making them reckless.

The Bloodmouth Beasts, already bloodthirsty and mad, were barely affected by the song.

However, the human side was a different story.

The most significant difference between humans and demons was that, regardless of their cultivation level, humans possessed wisdom.

It was the combination of wisdom and cultivation that gave humans their true strength, which was one of the main reasons the human race had been able to suppress the demon race for so long.

Once human cultivators became impulsive and blind, they lost their greatest weapon.

As soon as the shark people's song began, the Qi Refining and Foundation-building cultivators on the human side became disorganized.

Their attacks became erratic and chaotic, many of them landing in the same spot, causing numerous Bloodmouth Beasts to slip through and climb the city walls, charging into the group of cultivators.

In an instant, chaos erupted at the top of the city walls.

Had it not been for the intervention of the Golden Core cultivators, the high walls would have likely fallen.

The human side could not just stand by and watch the two shark people cast their spells.

The first to act was Zhu Yin.

She raised her hand and nine two-zhi-long Corpse Nails shot out.

TL/N: zhǐ = approximately 16.7 cm (about 6.57 inches).

The Corpse Nails carried a dense aura of corpse energy and reached the two shark people in an instant.

Just as they were about to make contact, a water curtain rose from the sea, like the Milky Way falling from the sky, soaring into the air.

The Corpse Nails moved as fast as lightning, but the moment they touched the water curtain, it was as if they were stuck in quicksand, their speed drastically slowing. They were soon engulfed by the water curtain and shot into the sky.

Seeing this, Daoist Lan Yin no longer hid her presence.

The ability to easily counter Zhu Yin's attack could only mean one thing: the enemy was a fourth-tier demon. It was her turn to act now.

Daoist Lan Yin formed a hand seal, and a cold light flashed.

A flying sword, three zhi long, shot through the air with a chilling sword intent, heading straight for the two shark people.
