The Demon Slayer Martial Saint Begins with Insect Refining

Chapter 253 The fight between trapped beasts
Pu Lengfeng's expression changed drastically, and he made a sudden move, heading straight for Su Yan.

This move was truly swift and decisive.

Su Yan controlled the Ten Thousand Insects Prison Tower to bombard him, but Pu Lengfeng did not dodge at all. A layer of cyan light appeared on his body, which was actually a high-level spirit sealing talisman.

The Ten Thousand Insects Prison Tower slammed into him, but the attack was completely blocked by the cyan protective layer.

The protective layer took a hit and was immediately riddled with cracks.

The next moment, Pu Lengfeng made his move, pouring all his strength into the Pushan Seal and the Soul Serpent Sword, and directly attacked Su Yan.

not good!

Su Yan manipulated the Star Constellation Mystic Beast Formation to form a barrier to block, but it was only a moment later that Pu Lengfeng's attack penetrated it.

Although he had briefly mastered the power of the Dharma Aspect Realm, the power that Su Yan controlled seemed extremely fragile in the face of Pu Lengfeng's life-risking attack.

The fear of death instantly enveloped his entire body, and Su Yan's insect bone armor fully erupted as he prepared to retreat explosively.

The Yin Ghost Silver Toad raised its body and blocked Su Yan's way.

Just at this critical moment, a silver ray of light fell on Su Yan and the group of ferocious insects. The silver ray of light was like a thin veil, instantly separating Su Yan and Pu Lengfeng.

Bi Qingman was already standing in front of him, and with a wave of her hand, she unleashed a silver jade seal, directly knocking down Pu Lengfeng's natal spiritual weapon.

"Su Yan, step aside."

Bi Qingman smiled and gave instructions, glancing at Pu Lengfeng out of the corner of her eye, her expression full of disdain: "Trying to take a junior hostage, Fellow Daoist Pu, you really have used every trick in the book."

"Bitch!"

Pu Lengfeng's plan failed, so he used his natal magical artifact to attack Bi Qingman.

"Zhao Wenxing, let's break through together!"

Lu Wuyan immediately tried to leave. Gu Sanqian and the others were already formidable fighters, and with the help of their contracted beasts, and now with Zhu Zhilan's assistance, they would certainly not be able to defeat him.

"If you want to leave, ask my Five Poison Pearls first."

Gu Sanqian gave Zhao Wenxing no chance to escape. He activated his Five Poisons Golden Body and launched a flying punch at him.

Zhao Wenxing summoned the Spirit Skeleton to block him, but it was bitten down from mid-air by the true essence of the Five Poison Beast, which had fused with the Five Poison Pearl.

He could only barely block it, and with one punch, he was sent flying backward, crashing into the mountainside, which collapsed.

Lu Wuyan transformed into a rainbow, merging the three beasts of greed, anger, and ignorance, and was about to escape this place.

Zhu Zhilan's gaze turned cold. Her white robes fluttered, and with a wave of her long sleeves, she unleashed several white ribbons, which, like a giant net, intercepted him.

With a flick of his Demon Flame Brush, Lu Wuyan unleashed a burst of flames that surged a hundred feet in size, reducing the resilient white silk to ashes.

However, when the firelight disappeared, a giant serpent, hundreds of feet long, with a snow-white body and jade-like eyes, lowered its body, opened its mouth wide, and swallowed all the flames into its belly.

"White Spirit Python!"

The white python's aura, capable of devouring heaven and earth, swept over us. Lu Wuyan wielded his Demon Flame Brush, outlining the sky with flames that filled the heavens.

The white python did not flinch and charged straight at them.

The flames, powerful enough to incinerate gold and stone, fell on the white spirit python as if they were dust, unable to harm it in the slightest.

Its white scales were as smooth as jade, and with a sweep of its body, it seemed as if a mountain had been cleaved in two, striking towards Lu Wuyan.

Lu Wuyan summoned the three beasts of greed, anger, and ignorance to stand in front of him, his expression becoming particularly grave.

However, at this moment, Zhu Zhilan unleashed a double-edged serpent sword, which crossed left and right, its white light piercing the sky like scissors, twisting towards Lu Wuyan.

not good!

Lu Wuyan's expression changed drastically, and a jet-black shield flew out of his hand, clanging as it blocked the twin swords of the spirit serpent.

Zhu Zhilan changed her hand seals, and the twin swords of the spirit snake crossed again, attacking him with even greater ferocity.

In an instant, chaos reigned in Mount Pushan. The three Dharma Aspect Realm experts made their move, manifesting Dharma Aspects as large as mountains. With each move, spiritual energy surged like a tidal wave, and wherever their hands landed, the mountain trembled as if it were being split open again.

Su Yan had already retreated two or three hundred feet away, his insect bone armor fully activated, and he had retrieved the ferocious insects, leaving only the Blood Bone Centipede King and the Devouring Soldier Netherworld Moth to guard him.

His eyes were fixed intently on the battle before him, his brows furrowing incessantly, his heart heavy, his previous spirit gone.

Among his peers, he could be proud, but in front of a True Person of the Dharma Aspect Realm, as long as they made a move, let alone six or seven ferocious insects of the Core Formation Realm.

Even if the number doubled, this terrifying gap would still be difficult to close.

"Even with the Star Constellation Mystic Beast Formation and the main formation of ferocious insects, the increased strength would probably be difficult to withstand."

His eyes flickered slightly, and he made up his mind: "After advancing the Flame Armor Scorpion, I will start working on breaking through to the second level of cultivation, as well as the Devouring Soldier and the Shadow Horn Spider."

bang
Above the Pushan Mountains, the battle intensified. Pu Lengfeng, who was the weakest, had his arm severed by Bi Qingman's Bewitching Flower during their fight.

With his body injured, Pu Lengfeng grew increasingly weak, and after only a hundred rounds, he was already on the verge of defeat.

It was at this moment that Lu Wuyan unleashed some trump card, causing the three beasts of greed, anger, and ignorance to explode with a roar. He himself transformed into a wisp of black smoke and shot straight out of the Pushan Mountains.

Zhu Zhilan gave chase, but was a step too late, and watched helplessly as Lu Wuyan disappeared from the spot.

Seeing this, Zhao Wenxing was a step too slow and also tried to escape, but he had no skill in saving his life like Lu Wuyan.

He sacrificed a soul-sealing puppet that he had refined for many years, and his cultivation level had already reached the threshold of the Dharma Aspect True Person.

As soon as the Soul-Sealing Puppet appeared, its hand, like a poisonous dragon, went straight for Gu Sanqian's heart.

Gu Sanqian sneered and smashed his hammer down, the blow like a drumbeat, sending the Soul-Sealing Puppet flying.

Zhao Wenxing moved like a shooting star, and had already run a thousand meters.

"disease!"

Gu Sanqian threw the Five Poison Pearls with lightning speed, and it struck Zhao Wenxing in the back instantly.

With this attack, the poison erupted completely, enveloping Zhao Wenxing in the blink of an eye.

A scream rang out immediately; Zhao Wenxing was completely unable to withstand such an attack.

In just a short while, all the blood and bones in his body were completely dissolved.

The Soul-Sealing Puppet charged out again, still wanting to fight Gu Sanqian.

But then Gu Sanqian grabbed the Soul Sealing Puppet by the neck with his large hand.

As I grabbed it, a cool sensation came through.

The so-called body had already been implanted with countless spirit metals by Zhao Wenxing, and most of its flesh and blood had been integrated with countless forging materials.

"farewell."

Gu Sanqian said something indifferently, and the next moment he broke the metal spine of the Soul-Sealing Puppet and forcibly pulled it out.

Su Yan was dumbfounded. The level of violence of his grandmaster was probably beyond his imagination.

"Ayan, come here."

Gu Sanqian reached out and grabbed Zhao Wenxing's storage ring. His eyes swept over the contents, and suddenly his eyes lit up.

Su Yan flew up to Gu Sanqian, who asked, "How are the disciples of my sect?"

Su Yan's release of a mountain full of ferocious bees could fool others, but it couldn't fool Gu Sanqian, who knew the truth.

"The Yan Ying Sect disciples have been killed. The Pu Shan lineage disciples attempted a sneak attack but failed, though some disciples were injured." Gu Sanqian nodded slightly. Although he didn't intentionally remind them, he had already made corresponding arrangements during the team assignment process.

Those who team up with Pu Lengfeng's disciples at the Danqiao Realm are either incredibly strong or highly experienced; they are not easily ambushed.

People like Su Yan were used as bait to lure Zhao Wenxing into making a move.

"Take it."

Gu Sanqian suddenly threw out a ball of flame, which was then enveloped in a container.

Su Yan's eyes lit up immediately.

Ghostly Flame!

Gu Sanqian said, "Zhao Wenxing's things are probably used to refine soul-sealing puppets. You've gotten a good deal, kid."

As the two were talking, Bi Qingman and Zhu Zhilan came over one after the other.

The two looked at Su Yan with a mixture of curiosity and affection.

It's unbelievable that Long Qiushui, who never takes on disciples, ended up picking up a prodigy for free.

"Most of your ferocious insects have the strength of the third tier, it seems that your physique contains the legendary insect spirit body."

Su Yan looked surprised. Bi Qingman summoned the Moon-Eating Insect, which shrunk to the size of her palm, resembling a white jade plate.

She explained, "In ancient times, there was an insect called the Giant Spirit, which was born as a saint. Its body formed its own universe and could gather 108,000 kinds of strange insects, all of which could be raised and nurtured. It was a sacred species among insects."

Gu Sanqian seemed to be deep in thought, and even the usually taciturn Zhu Zhilan nodded slightly.

Su Yan: ?
Don't you guys have any doubts?

The Demon Saint is at the sixth realm; above that are the levels of Land Immortals and True King-level Wild Beasts.

Bi Qingman said, "Martial artists who obtain the bloodline of the Giant Spirit Insect are called Insect Spirit Bodies. Although they do not have their own space within the Giant Spirit Insect, no one can match them in the cultivation and control of insects. Although you do not know the origin of your innate martial body, in my opinion, this is the only possibility."

Gu Sanqian's eyes narrowed slightly, and he suddenly said, "Junior Sister, to whom did you say that?"

Knowing the importance of the matter, Bi Qingman said solemnly, "I found it in ancient books, but I haven't told anyone else yet."

She wasn't showing off her knowledge, but rather taking advantage of the fact that there were few people around to warn Su Yan.

Su Yan thought to himself, "No matter how strong the Insect Spirit Body is, it can't compare to the Ferocious Insect Cauldron. Even the Insect Lord's bloodline is superior to this Insect Spirit Body. However, such a naturally born martial body is likely to attract criticism."

"As for the spirits here, I'm afraid Junior Sister will have to tell Senior Brother Sect Leader about them in the future."

Gu Sanqian spoke solemnly, and Bi Qingman nodded: "I understand. I have already found a way out for him."

"Ok?"

The three looked at Bi Qingman with suspicion. Bi Qingman said, "If anyone inquires about your innate martial body in the future, just say it's the Taiyue Ancient Insect Body. When the Taiyue Ancient Insect reaches its full potential, its body is like a mountain and its shell is like a rock. It is even stronger than dragon beasts. Since your physical cultivation is not bad, ordinary people will not doubt it."

She paused slightly, then said, "When the Taiyue Ancient Insect reaches its full potential, it possesses the strength of a fifth-tier king beast, comparable to a martial artist in the Golden Body Realm. Occasionally, outstanding individuals can become demon saints, but compared to a naturally born holy insect, it lacks a bit of the world-shaking aura."

"Thank you, Grandmaster Uncle."

Su Yan bowed and thanked her. Bi Qingman was truly looking out for him. This way of escaping danger was indeed secure. Ordinary people would never know the difference between the two types of constitutions, but she had covered all his characteristics, making her extremely deceptive.

Bi Qingman smiled and joked, "I'm not helping you for nothing. My Moon-Eating Worm has reached its limit. Although it's a fourth-tier calamity beast, it's extremely difficult to advance further. Even the mid-stage of the fourth tier is hard to break through. I'm afraid I'll need your help in the future."

Bi Qingman openly expressed her thoughts, and Su Yan also realized what she meant.

After seeing her line of third-tier ferocious insects, Bi Qingman was probably completely convinced of her innate martial prowess.

'This is a bit troublesome.'

Su Yan looked thoughtful. The transformation was all brought about by the Ferocious Insect Cauldron, and the so-called transformed object was also hinted at by the Ferocious Insect Cauldron.

However, if you were to acquire someone else's contracted beast, it probably wouldn't be so easy.

He pondered for a moment, then said seriously, "The closer a ferocious insect is to me during its metamorphosis, the more likely it is to know what it is transforming into. In addition, my innate martial body and special true essence are what enabled me to metamorphose. I'm afraid the Moon-Eating Insect..."

"What if I were a moon-eating worm, like you?"

"what?"

Bi Qingman smiled and said, "My Moon-Eating Insect is a female. It has been incubating an egg for thirty years. It won't be long before the larvae hatch and you can become its contracted beast. How about that?"

What a generous gesture.

The Moon-Eating Insect is guaranteed to be a fourth-tier calamity beast, and even its larval stage is an extremely powerful insect beast.

In other sects, it's uncertain whether they could cultivate such a talent, but in the Beast King Sect, it's no different from giving you a fourth-tier natal spirit weapon.

But it is the foundation for a stable life.

"Thank you, Grandmaster Uncle. If that's the case, I'm about 50 or 60 percent sure."

Su Yan didn't say everything. If he obtained the same material for transformation, and then extracted some insect essence and blood to refine into pills, the transformation would be a sure thing.

If all else fails, she can let her Moon-Eating Worm undergo a metamorphosis first, and then condense her primordial blood. The Moon-Eating Worm bestowed upon her by her bloodline will also be able to undergo a metamorphosis.

When Bi Qingman heard that it was 50% or 60% likely, her eyes lit up: "Okay, it's a deal. I'll give you the insect eggs when I get back."

The two agreed that Gu Sanqian and Zhu Zhilan would not disturb them.

After finishing speaking, he said, "Lu Wuyan and Zhao Wenxing have both arrived here, and with Pu Lengfeng added, the Yan Ying Sect only has Li Jiongcang left at the Dharma Aspect Realm. It seems that he is no match for Senior Brother Hu in Wanning County."

"But we are all here, and Senior Brother Tiger may not be able to keep him here."

Zhu Zhilan frowned slightly. Although Hu Yangming was highly skilled, Li Jiongcang was also a master swordsman, even though they were both at the Dharma Aspect Realm.

Such a person is bound to have some hidden skills.

Just like Lu Wuyan, even though she was careful enough, he still managed to escape by using a self-destructive escape technique.

"It can't stir up any trouble."

Bi Qingman said, "If we wipe out the Yan Ying Sect and remove the thorn, we will have won. Now, all that is left are the rebellious elements in Junlaoshan and Lishan County."

Zhu Zhilan frowned and said, "There are probably no fewer than thirty Danqiao martial artists in Junlaoshan and Lishan City. All those forces have gathered here."

Gu Sanqian pointed at Su Yan and then said, "They can go and attack on their own. The three of us, along with Senior Brother Hu, must meet with the leaders of the Demon Suppression Guard."

The Demon Suppression Guard reacted too slowly to the matter of the Flame Shadow Sect.

Although it is intended to provide checks and balances, a closer look reveals that there may be problems within their ranks.

Now, the Three Flames Divine Palace, the Hundred Caves Witch Gate, and the Holy Weapon Path are aggressively pressing in, right outside the Hundred Peaks Barrier.

It's likely that the danger isn't just limited to the Beast King Sect, but also extends to the entire Lingnan Prefecture.

Behind the three demonic forces are tens of millions of tribal natives, as well as several tribal kingdoms that have almost become one country.

If they were to sweep over, it would likely cause turmoil not only in the sects.

The three looked at Su Yan and said, "You will lead the team to attack Junlaoshan on our behalf."

Su Yan was taken aback: "What about the Star Heaven Realm cultivators at the Core Formation stage?"

“Yan Yin will go with you. He will deal with the warriors from the Three Heavens and the Starry Sky. You can handle the rest.”
