The Demon Slayer Martial Saint Begins with Insect Refining

Chapter 275 The Old Ancestor of the Rotten Serpent
Su Yan made a decisive move, and the true essence of his Starry Sky Mystic Beast Technique shone brightly, completely enveloping his ten true essences, including the Subduing Tiger King True Intent, the Azure Scale Poisonous Dragon, and the Poisonous Star Ape.

The starlight connects with each other, like a galaxy falling beside the Ten True Meanings.

His Star Constellation Mystic Beast Technique reached a state of perfection, and through continuous comprehension, all the ferocious insects transformed into his true essence.

Normally, Su Yan rarely goes all out, but now, facing three third-level martial artists, even he has to take it seriously.

Led by the True Meaning of the Subduing Tiger King, the Ten True Meanings, like giant spirits, surrounded the three, enveloping them in a barrier of starlight.

Su Yan's figure changed, and his insect bone armor body was attached to him. Starlight fell and transformed into a huge fist, which smashed towards Green Blade Gu Elder.

Starlight scattered, fists like falling stars.

Green Blade Gu's face darkened. The Azure Toad True Meaning leaped in front of him, opened its mouth wide, and countless spiritual energies were drawn into its abdomen, causing its body to swell up like a giant green shield.

He pointed the Green Toad Blade in his hand, and it transformed into a stream of green light that entered the Azure Toad's True Meaning, turning into pieces of bronze scales.

bang
The punch slammed down like a meteorite striking the sky, producing a deafening roar, as if a mountain had collapsed.

The Azure Toad's true essence crumbled inch by inch, and countless bronze scales formed by the Green Toad Blade shattered. Even the Green Blade Gu Elder, who had poured a large amount of true essence into it, was forced to retreat, and the true essence in his body surged backward, almost causing him to collapse.

He immediately said in a deep voice, "This guy is powerful. The three of us will join forces to hold him off until Ancestor Rotten Serpent arrives, otherwise we will definitely be no match for him!"

He speaks extremely fast and is particularly afraid of death.

Su Yan's strength is not something they can easily defeat, even though they currently have three third-level martial artists.

"it is good!"

Bian Shaosi and Yi Linghua were his friends of many years, so they had no doubts at this moment.

The two of them, one on the left and one on the right, launched an attack on Su Yan.

Behind Bian Shaosi, the blood vines, like pythons, split into countless branches, instantly transforming into a hundred-foot-long vine demon. Thousands of branches, resembling snake mouths, wrapped around Su Yan.

His natal magical weapon was extremely insidious; it was actually eighteen green wood poison cones, all black in color but exceptionally long and thin, hidden among the blood vines, making them virtually undetectable and taking lives silently.

He summoned the blood vine, but instead of attacking Su Yan, he attacked the star-shaped mystic beast essences surrounding him, which resembled array bases.

The formation is powerful because these true forces are interconnected; if they can be broken, the formation will naturally break.

Meanwhile, the hidden Green Wood Poison Cone transformed into a dim stream of light, heading straight for Su Yan.

Yi Linghua, standing to the side, was even more insidious. Two flowers, one red and one white, flew out from her palm. One of them went straight for Nangong Hongyue and slashed out with a scarlet flower blade. Its momentum was like fire, enough to flatten a mountain and corrode a person's muscles, bones, and flesh.

The white flower rushed straight towards Su Yan, followed by a white-flowered sable's true essence, which merged into the spiritual weapon, emitting a strange mental shock.

She had her eye on Nangong Hongyue's strength, which was only at the second level of the Heavenly Realm, and intended to use her as a breakthrough point.

The Green Blade Gu Elder merged his body with the Green Toad, taking the Green Toad Blade into the toad's mouth, which transformed into a jade-green toad tongue. When he opened his mouth, a hundred-foot-long blade of light emanated from it.

The three worked together seamlessly, almost instantly launching an attack that restricted Su Yan's methods.

Su Yan's expression was cold. His figure merged into the true meaning of the Subduing Tiger King. He waved his arms and formed hand seals: "Let's see how long you can hold out."

The Hundred Tigers Breaking Army Seal is formed!
A giant handprint fell from the sky and instantly struck the three attackers.

With a single blow, the three powerful attacks shattered.

Green Knife Gu Elder, Yi Linghua, and Bian Shaosi all coughed up blood, staring in horror at Su Yan, who resembled the Subduing Tiger King.

How could he possibly possess such a vast amount of true energy?!

The power of an attack doesn't appear out of nowhere. To launch such a terrifying attack, to fight three people of a higher level alone, and to still be able to gain the upper hand—what kind of monster is this?

However, they were unaware that Su Yan's true essence was pouring out like the Yangtze River releasing its floodwaters.

The Nine-Turn True Essence Golden Elixir spun rapidly, its true essence surging out recklessly. In just one strike, it had already lost one-seventh or one-eighth of its true essence.

It releases its true essence freely like a star, with thirty-six small star apertures around it rotating and constantly outputting true essence.

The two supported each other, which allowed Su Yan to possess a true essence level comparable to a third-level martial artist. Otherwise, he would have given up long ago.

Come again!

Su Yan needed to finish the battle quickly, so he mobilized his inner energy and launched another attack.

The three Green Blade Gu elders' expressions changed drastically. With their old forces gone and new forces yet to emerge, how could they possibly hold out?
He hastily employed his methods, but this time, the True Meaning of Subduing Tiger King already had the form of an ancient pagoda in his hand.

As soon as the Ten Thousand Insects Prison Tower appeared, red light and prison-suppressing chains descended from the sky. The red light represented the heavens, and the chains, like snakes, went straight for the three of them.

seal up!
The sealing power fell upon them, and the already chaotic flow of true essence became even more sluggish, as if what flowed within their bodies was not true essence, but viscous, heavy mercury.

When the Ten Thousand Insects Prison Tower struck, the combined defense of the three was completely shattered.

Su Yan took a step forward, as if he had flashed, and appeared directly next to the Green Blade Gu Elder.

The old Green Knife Gu was deathly pale, terrified, and instinctively shot out his Green Toad Blade.

Su Yan raised his left hand and grabbed it with a clanging sound. The Green Toad Blade was directly held in his hand. The insect's armor was tough, and apart from leaving a mark, it could not damage its interior in the slightest.

"die!"

A light appeared on Su Yan's right fist, resembling the head of a poisonous dragon, and it directly struck the Green Blade Gu Elder.

The green toad stuck out its tongue like a knife, attempting to block the attack, but it was shattered by the punch.

The force of the fist pierced through the true intent and struck the Green Blade Gu Elder's chest. With just one touch, a muffled sound rang out, and a burst of blood mist instantly erupted. Su Yan had pierced through the entire chest of the old man.

The old Green Knife Gu's eyes bulged and were bloodshot, but he could no longer speak. His neck tilted to the side, and he lost his breath.

Yi Linghua was terrified and tried to use the Heartbreak Flower to stop Su Yan.

The flying flower arrived in front of him in an instant, heading straight for the divine sense attack.

Su Yan's eyes flashed with a cold light, and his powerful divine sense, like a divine blade, slashed down from above.

The Heartbreak Flower split in two, falling to the left and right. Su Yan emerged from between them, grabbing the flower and pressing it directly onto Yi Linghua's head.

"Spare my life..."

"puff"

Before Yi Linghua could finish begging for mercy, Su Yan had already crushed her head.

Su Yan's expression was cold and stern, but he was frowning. His true essence was being consumed very quickly, and now he only had two-thirds left.

Seeing his two friends die one after another, Bian Shaosi completely lost his will to fight and only thought about how to escape from here.

That damned Old Master Serpent didn't even tell them that the Danqiao Realm warrior they were besieging possessed such terrifying combat power.

He transformed all the blood vines into a net, layer upon layer, creating a seven-layered blood vine net that blocked Su Yan from standing between him and the others.

Eighteen green wood poison cones swirled around him, their sharpness converging together like a large green wood spear, about to strike the barrier of the Star Constellation Array.

"Can they escape?"

Su Yan sneered, his figure moved quickly, and he arrived in front of the seven layers of blood vines. Without dodging at all, he directly punched it.

The blood vines unleashed an unimaginable resilience. With Su Yan's punch, the giant net formed by the blood vines was deformed like an inflated balloon, snapping one by one, but it did not break immediately.

Su Yan was not discouraged. His eyes were firm as he gathered the true essence in his body, formed the Ming King seal, and unleashed the Hundred Tigers Breaking Army!
This strike was like a mountain roaring and a tsunami crashing down; the surging true energy took shape like a holy tiger pouncing.

With a collision, a pounce, and a grab, the giant blood vine net was torn to shreds.

The Blood Vine was Bian Shaosi's true essence. Its sudden collapse caused him to suffer a backlash, his body stiffened, and he spat out blood.

Despite being injured, his speed increased instead of decreased. He burned his essence and blood, drained the source of his golden core, and headed straight for the barrier.

"Break!" he roared with all his might, gathering all his strength in one place and shooting out his eighteen Green Wood Poison Cones.

The barrier, formed by the convergence of starlight, cracked under the attack, and emerald cracks immediately appeared on its surface.

No matter how strong Su Yan is, no matter how powerful the Star Constellation Array is, it is impossible for it to completely eliminate the difference in strength due to different cultivation levels.

Not to mention that Bian Shaosi was already in a state of complete desperation at this point.

His eyes suddenly lit up with a sharp light, as if a drowning person had seen a life-saving boat.

Ignoring the depletion of his own energy, he directly manipulated his natal spiritual weapon, the Green Wood Poison Cone, to launch another attack.

The turquoise light surged against the barrier, and it looked like it was about to break through.

Unexpectedly, a pitch-black vortex, like a black hole, suddenly appeared, and the Devouring Soldier Phantom appeared, its ferocious maw instantly biting through the Green Wood Poison Cone.

"You beast! Pfft!"

Bian Shaosi watched helplessly as his natal spirit weapon was destroyed by the Devouring Soldier Youming. He wanted to recall it, but suddenly found that there was another figure beside him.

Without turning his head, he swung his Azure Wave Palm towards Su Yan.

click
Su Yan grabbed his arm and broke it off. Then, he touched his brow with his finger, and his true essence shot out like a sword, piercing through him.

"How dare you, thief!"

A loud shout rang out, and a golden serpent spirit dagger arrived in an instant.

click
The golden light, like lightning, shattered the Star Array in a single strike, and the light barrier crumbled completely like glass.

The Golden Serpent Spirit Thorn hurtled straight at Su Yan, its fierce aura seeming to want to take his life.

"town!"

Su Yan's expression darkened, and he made a decisive move, casting the Myriad Insects Prison Suppression Tower in his palm over the Golden Serpent Spirit Thorn.

With a loud crash, the Ten Thousand Insects Prison Tower was violently shaken, and Su Yan was forced to retreat.

The Golden Serpent Spirit Thorn flipped around the Ten Thousand Insects Prison Tower and headed straight for his body.

His eyes flashed with a cold light, and he punched out with a clang, instantly creating a crack on his insect-bone armor.

The scales and the Heavenly Python Dharma Body were broken one after another, and the Subduing Tiger King's Golden Body was almost destroyed as well.

His insect-bone armor rapidly recovered, and Su Yan looked as far as he could see, and could already spot the figure flying towards him from a great distance.

"The Celestial Warrior of the Stars!"

With a wave of his hand, Su Yan sent out four blood banners in an instant. The Devouring Soldier Netherworld Moth flew over and poured all its Netherworld power into the blood banners.

quick!quick!quick!
Almost at that moment, Su Yan summoned all the Hundred Poison Gu Seals and merged them into the Devouring Soldier Netherworld.

The true essence erupted instantly, and the four blood banners instantly grew to be hundreds of meters in size, with the true essence surging wildly.

In just a moment, the Devouring Soldier Moth became extremely weak.

"go!"

Su Yan waved his hand and released 100,000 blood bees and evil bees, which transformed into a sky full of blood mist, intertwined with evil energy, and completely merged into the formation in front of him.

He grabbed Nangong Hongyue, released the Blood Bone Centipede King, flipped himself onto it, and instantly flew away from the place.

"boom"

The Old Ancestor of the Rotten Serpent arrived here in just a few breaths, watching Su Yan leave, but he was unable to catch up.

His natal spirit weapon, the Golden Serpent Spirit Thorn, was already trapped in the formation, with malevolent energy constantly surging in, clearly intended to destroy this top-grade third-tier spirit weapon.

"You fool, you think you can hold me back with a mere trifle?"

Enraged, the Old Ancestor of the Rotten Serpent continuously manipulated the Golden Serpent Spirit Thorn with his mind.

The golden serpent-like spikes hummed, radiating a powerful aura that annihilated any approaching malevolent energy.

However, his action triggered the Blood Banner, which instantly enveloped him in crimson light.

The sky and earth changed color, turning completely red, like a blood-red tide.

Countless weapons appeared within this grand formation, their sharpness concealing a terrifying killing intent.

The Old Ancestor of the Decaying Serpent wanted to escape, but suddenly discovered that the power within had locked onto him for a moment.

Countless blood bees and evil bees attacked, their overwhelming force seemingly threatening to engulf him.

"A rotten serpent devours the sky!"

Behind him, the phantom of a decaying snake appeared, a hundred feet tall, its entire body dark green, its blood-red maw opening wide, instantly devouring more than half of the blood bees and evil bees.

It was clearly just a body of true intent, yet the annihilation of the insect swarm with that one bite seemed so real and terrifying.

The blood banner fluttered, directly unleashing more than ten blood-red tornadoes, from which countless blood demons crawled out, heading straight for the Old Ancestor of the Decaying Serpent.

The phantom images of weapons fell like rain, their sharpness tearing the earth apart.

Almost instantly, all the attacks erupted.

The wave of attacks nearly engulfed the Old Ancestor of the Decaying Serpent.

After the Devouring Soldier Netherworld Infusion, the Blood Banner, which was seized from the Blood Banner Ancestor's disciple, became a disposable item, equivalent to the full power unleashed by the self-destruction of four Tier 3 Blood Banners.

The Old Ancestor of the Decaying Serpent had icy eyes, but he dared not let his guard down. He merged his body with the true essence of the Decaying Serpent and grabbed the Golden Serpent Spirit Thorn, which fell into his palm.

"Break it for me!"

The three phantom images of Dan appeared, and more than three hundred star-shaped apertures appeared all over his body, resembling a small starry sky.

Each sword beam transformed into a python's body, crashing into the tidal wave of attacks.

The sound was like thunder, the sky changed color, and the entire mountain peak was annihilated.

After a long, long time, the terrifying surge of true essence gradually subsided, and the figure of the Old Ancestor of the Decaying Serpent appeared, his eyes filled with anger and coldness.

He was unharmed, but looking in the direction Su Yan had fled, he was nowhere to be seen.

This delay was enough for Su Yan to shake off his pursuit.

"Beast King Sect!"

The Old Ancestor of the Rotten Serpent recognized Su Yan's background. Two such powerful wild beasts, and the marks that controlled them, could only be found in the Beast King Sect.

buzz
He took out the Bell-Awakening Gu, probed it with his divine sense, and sent out a message: "Set up formations at all passes to block them, and block those who enter the pass from the Third Heaven."

He immediately chased after Su Yan.

He had realized that even a third-level martial artist, unless they were a fifth-level or higher genius, or even a more powerful one, would find it difficult to truly withstand Su Yan.

Using human lives to hold off Su Yan would be a good thing if it could be done, but if the difference is too great, it would probably be suicide.

"This child must not be kept."

He chased faster and faster, but after flying less than thirty miles, his face darkened, and he grabbed a blood-red bee from the ground with his large hand. It was the same blood bee from before.

For thirty miles, there were blood bees everywhere. Every move they made was under Su Yan's surveillance, so it was incredibly easy to evade them.
