The Demon Slayer Martial Saint Begins with Insect Refining

Chapter 282 Ambush
With a large hand seal, it descended like a pillar supporting the sky.

The tiger's roar was deafening, and the majestic and ferocious tiger's appearance could be vaguely seen beside the mark.

Qingyun Qian's eyes widened, his heart filled with shock. How could Su Yan, who had just broken through to the Danqiao Realm, be so powerful?
His robes fluttered wildly in the gale-force winds generated by the move, and his hair and beard were disheveled.

Qingyun Qian immediately gripped his longsword, held his breath, and unleashed three consecutive sword strikes, his true essence surging from his body.

The Azure Lion Flows Through!

The sword light transformed into three blue lions that pounced on the attack, their beastly eyes gleaming with a chilling sword light, each strike brimming with sharpness.

"A little trickster"

Although Qingyun Qian's attacks were powerful, they couldn't cause the slightest disturbance in Su Yan's eyes.

The two attacks collided. The first green lion pounced forward, its sword light heading straight for the palm of the Tiger-Taming King.

Unexpectedly, the Hundred Tigers Breaking Army Seal shone with divine light, instantly piercing through the transformed green lion of the sword move and knocking it back into a wisp of green sword light.

The sword light flew towards the Hundred Tigers Breaking Army Seal, and shattered into pieces like a mirror.

The second and third beams of Azure Lion sword light arrived in quick succession, but the Hundred Tigers Breaking Army Seal suppressed them. The Azure Lion vanished, and the sword light disappeared, merely blocking the attack for a moment.

The Azure Lion, a beast spirit of the Azure Cloud Thousand True Meaning, roared, its spirits merging into one, unleashing its three cores, which transformed into a claw strike that directly struck towards them.

Under this all-out attack, it barely managed to withstand the Hundred Tigers Breaking Army Seal of the Subduing Tiger King's true intent.

The battlefield shook violently, cracks spread across the land like a shattered mirror, and the booming sounds were like thunderclaps filling the sky. The awe-inspiring aura made all the warriors gasp for breath.

"Azure Lion Strike!"

Qingyun Qian withstood the attack, cursing inwardly, and then used the Azure Lion True Meaning to launch an attack.

Su Yan's strength is simply too great. Although he is not a third-level martial artist, his true essence and blood energy are as deep as an abyss, and it is impossible to see what his upper limit is.

A slight advantage in cultivation level is of no use to Su Yan.

Qingyun Qian can only resist Su Yan's offensive by constantly fighting and seizing the initiative in the battle.

The battle was fierce, like giants colliding, and the area in front of Wuyi City was like a dragon turning over and over again.

Qingyun Qianzhen was completely focused, almost all of his mind was on controlling the Azure Lion to attack.

Su Yan stood within the true essence of the Subduing Tiger King, with countless threads of true essence connecting him to the true essence of the Subduing Tiger King, and a surge of powerful true essence flowed into the true essence.

Every move was a mountain-shattering attack.

With each blow, Qingyun Qian's decline became increasingly apparent.

On the battlefield, the demonic warriors who had been trapped by Su Yan were now being chased by the Fiend Bees. They were bound by Shadow Silk, besieged by the Fiend Bees, and attacked by Shadow Spiders, Bai Yun, Li Junyue, Wang Mingqing, and Zhang Long. Now, more than half of them had been lost.

'No, I can't get entangled with him anymore.'

With a fierce determination, he suddenly unleashed billowing green smoke from the Azure Lion. With a deafening roar, his true essence exploded, and the powerful impact directly struck everything within a two- or three-mile radius.

Su Yan's eyes narrowed, and he snorted coldly. He used the true intent of the Subduing Tiger King to intercept the attack.

A streak of azure light shot out on a sword, directly crossing the battlefield and hurtling into the distance.

Want to run?

Su Yan raised his hand and summoned a swarm of blood bees and evil bees, which formed a barrier in front of Qing Yunqian.

The malevolent aura surged forth, like a tsunami engulfing everything.

Qingyun Qian's expression darkened, but he showed no hesitation. After crushing a jade talisman in his hand, he rushed forward.

The true essence around his body was constantly eroding him, and even blood bees swarmed and stung him. The murderous aura seeped into his body. Qingyun Qian gritted his teeth and used the true essence in his body to shatter the invading blood bees.

He made no further moves, nor did he engage with the blood bees. Instead, he broke through their defenses while enduring their attacks and was instantly far away from Wuyi City.

A strange light flashed in Su Yan's eyes. He pointed his finger, and the Shadow Spider leaped in front of Bai Yun.

"Everyone, listen to Bai Yun's command: do not let the demonic warriors on the field escape."

The moment the voice faded, he flew off, heading straight for Qingyun Qian.

The two followed closely, with Su Yan in hot pursuit, keeping a tight hold on Qing Yunqian's figure.

At this moment, it was unclear what Qingyun Qian was thinking. Although he was heading straight for Wanmu City, in his panic, he began to deviate from the intended path.

Su Yan didn't care where he fled to, and continued to pursue him, traveling a full hundred miles in the process.

"Su Yan, why are you fighting so hard? If you release me, I swear on my Dao that I will give you a Wind and Thunder Insect."

Qingyun Qian shouted the message, but his movements did not slow down in the slightest.

"You still want to use wind and thunder worms as bait? Don't you have anything else good to offer?"

Su Yan lunged forward, his giant Star-Picking Hand materializing, and directly grabbed at Qing Yunqian.

Qingyun dodged the attack in a flash, narrowly avoiding it.

The enormous handprint slammed into the barren mountain peak, instantly shattering it, sending rocks crashing down with a deafening roar.

"That's not my fault."

Qingyun Qian's expression suddenly turned cold, and he plunged into a valley.

Su Yan followed closely behind, instantly entering the fray. However, just as he entered, two dark figures suddenly rushed towards him. A strange, ink-black sword aimed for his brow, while a broadsword cleaved his spine.

"Clanging"

The Heavenly Python Dharma Body appeared on his body, and the blue-gold scales and the golden body of the Subduing Tiger King burst forth. With a tremor, he blasted both attacks away.

"Such strong physical cultivation, Qingyun Qian, your disheveled state doesn't seem to be an act."

In the valley, Xi Junyue and Zheng Zhongfei blocked Su Yan's path, their auras deep and their eyes filled with solemnity.

The Soul Heart Sword had already flown back into Xi Junyue's hand, while Zheng Zhongfei, standing to the side, held the Zhan Geng Blade and stared at Su Yan.

Qingyun Qian's face was gloomy. He turned around, gripping his natal spiritual weapon, the Azure Lion Sword, tightly in his hand, and said coldly, "If he were simple, he wouldn't have been able to kill Yao Qingqing."

Blood spilled from his mouth, which he wiped away before swallowing a pill to nourish his meridians.

"This is your ambush?"

"You actually dared to come along? You truly don't know your place. It's better if you die here. We three will take Master Yao's bounty."

Qingyun Qian's eyes were filled with hatred. He had been hiding his identity for many years, and when he started fighting, he was like a venomous snake. He never expected to be forced to this extent by Su Yan. If it weren't for Xi Junyue and the others as his backers, he would probably have had to flee in panic.

"Stop talking nonsense, just kill him."

After Zheng Zhongfei split into two, the terrifying figure of the Rock Eagle Bear appeared. With their true intentions united, his outer armor made him look particularly majestic.

He swung his sword at Su Yan, who dodged it. The sword light shot straight into the valley, tearing through the mountain and ground with a thunderous roar, like a hundred-foot iron plow.

Qing Yunqian, Zheng Zhongfei, and Xi Junyue are all experienced and cunning Danqiao martial artists, and they are always perfectly in sync when they make a move.

Just as Su Yan dodged the blade, Xi Junyue's Soul Heart Sword transformed into three black shadows, heading straight for his back.

Before him was Zheng Zhongfei, and behind him was the piercing light of a sword.

Qingyun Qian was extremely cunning. His Azure Lion Sword transformed into an Azure Lion, merging with his true intent to become a colossal beast that devoured the sky. The three attacks directly blocked all of Su Yan's escape routes.

The three attacked with all their might, their three cores combined, aiming for a fatal blow.

A suffocating atmosphere enveloped Su Yan, yet his expression remained remarkably calm, with a slight upturn at the corners of his mouth.

"Break it for me!"

Its entire body was covered in insect bones and armor, and its aura suddenly underwent a dramatic change.

The golden body of the Tiger-Taming King, clad in insect armor, rose from his body. The attack landed in front of him, but it was like a mantis trying to stop a chariot; it couldn't budge this hundred-foot-tall King's body at all.

Zheng Zhongfei's second sword light shattered inch by inch, and his face was filled with horror.

Su Yan swung his fist, directly shattering the massive body of the Azure Lion. He turned around and grabbed the Soul Heart Sword behind him, making a sharp grinding sound, but it couldn't break through the insect armor's defense.

how is this possible! !
All three were terrified by this action. No matter how strong the defense is, there is a limit. This kind of demonic and godlike behavior really reveals the second level of Danqiao realm martial artist.
Su Yan paid no heed to their shock and instantly appeared in front of Qing Yunqian.

With a large grab, he tore off one of his arms, blood splattering in the air. Qingyun Qian screamed in agony as he was about to fall.

He took a step forward, grabbed Qing Yunqian's neck with one hand, and asked calmly, "Did you injure Uncle Xiang Ge's hand?"

Qingyun Qian was severely injured. At this moment, Su Yan was holding him by the neck, and his body swayed and hung up like a tattered piece of clothing.

"I should kill him!"

Qingyun's eyes were filled with resentment and venom. At the same time, the True Essence Golden Core, the Blood Qi Golden Core, and the Divine Soul Golden Core collided, unleashing terrifying power.

Golden Core self-destructs!

With a snapping sound, Su Yan crushed his head without any expression.

Qingyun Qian's corpse swelled up, his power completely out of control. However, at this moment, the Ten Thousand Insects Prison Tower flew out and suppressed the corpse.

The out-of-control Golden Core self-destructed and was directly suppressed by the Ten Thousand Insect Prison Tower, which also absorbed his entire corpse.

Xi Junyue and Zheng Zhongfei were terrified. Su Yan's methods had completely exceeded their understanding of ordinary Danqiao martial artists.

They had completely lost the will to fight Su Yan and turned to flee the nameless valley.

But as soon as she turned around, she froze on the spot.

The Blood Bone Centipede King and the Eating Dragon Worm blocked their paths at some unknown time.

They wanted to change direction, but unexpectedly, the other side was occupied by the Devouring Soldier Moth and the Heavenly Fiend Mother Locust.

The two were about to fight back when the Blood Bone Centipede King's blood venom attacked, directly corroding most of their bodies, turning them black and red.

The Dragon-Eating Insect, the Soldier-Swallowing Nethermoth, and the Heavenly Fiend Mother Locust all made their moves, employing various methods against them.

In the blink of an eye, the man was left with only half a life, pinned in mid-air by the Heavenly Fiend Mother Locust's shin-scythe.

Su Yan flew over, glanced at Zheng Zhongfei, and with a thought, the red light flowed from the scythe on the right side of the Heavenly Fiend Mother Locust. Zheng Zhongfei's blood and energy were completely devoured, leaving him as a skeleton.

Xi Junyue trembled with fear: "Let me go, let me go, and I'll tell you what Qing Yunke is plotting! And, and the Wind and Thunder Insects, I'll give them to you too."

The fear between life and death is enough to crush an old demon.

Su Yan reached out and grabbed Xi Junyue's beast-storing pouch, which flew into his hand.

Few spirit-sealing artifacts can contain wild beasts, except for beast-storing bags. Since Xi Junyue treasures the Wind and Thunder Insects so much, he naturally carries them with him at all times.

Seeing the Wind and Thunder Insect fall into Su Yan's hands, Xi Junyue's face immediately darkened, and he hurriedly said, "Qing Yunke's scheme..."

"So you're plotting to open up Poison Dragon Valley and seize the inheritance, aren't you?"

Upon hearing this, Xi Junyue's face turned ashen. His eyes widened: "You... how did you know?!"

With a flick of his finger, Su Yan unleashed a sword of true essence that instantly pierced through Xi Junyue's brow.

Xi Junyue died instantly, and the Blood Bone Centipede King devoured him whole.

Su Yan retrieved all the ferocious insects before flying towards Wuyi City.

……

Outside Wuyi City, corpses lay strewn across the fields.

With twin pistols at her side, Bai Yun moved among the demonic warriors, each attack piercing through the enemy's body, leaving blood flowing everywhere.

Beside her, Li Junyue, Zhang Long, and the others continued to sweep across the battlefield.

The demonic warriors have completely collapsed, and those who cannot escape now are all being blocked by the Shadow Spiders.

As the battle gradually subsided, Bai Yun removed her mask and swept her cold gaze across the battlefield: "Clean up the battlefield and be wary of surprise attacks. Keep a close eye on the situation at Cangcui Mountain and Tianji Fortress."

"Yes"

Zhang Long, the commander of the mountain guard, and Wang Mingqing nodded in agreement, but they had some concerns.

"Junior Sister Bai, Master Su is pursuing alone. Should we inform Master Hong Qingyue as well? It might be dangerous to pursue him rashly."

Wang Mingqing was a cautious man. Knowing that there were many Danqiao martial artists in Wanmu City, he was worried that Su Yan would suffer a loss.

Bai Yun shook her head and said, "We just need to clean up the battlefield and keep an eye on Wanmu City's movements. He will definitely be fine."

Wang Mingqing hesitated, but then a rustling sound came as the Shadow Spider devoured the corpses of the demonic warriors on the battlefield.

He caught a glimpse of it out of the corner of his eye and his heart skipped a beat. He suddenly realized that this Shadow Spider alone possessed strength no weaker than a Danqiao Realm martial artist, and there must be other forces around Master Su.

The group cleaned up the battlefield. This great victory was unexpected, and even if the enemy had many Danqiao martial artists, they would definitely not dare to start a major battle in the short term.

A streak of light fell into the battlefield, and Su Yan appeared. He threw the withered corpse of Qingyun Qian in his hand, which landed in front of Wang Mingqing.

Wang Mingqing was startled and immediately bowed, saying, "Master Su."

“Execute Qingyun Qianfu, hang his body on the battlefield, and have a demonic martial artist tell the two Qingyun brothers.”

Wang Mingqing gasped. What ruthless methods! Killing someone not only kills them but also destroys their spirit.

The three are brothers, and the fact that two of them worked in the open while one worked in the shadows for decades demonstrates the depth of their bond.

Now, not only are they not returning the bodies, but they're also impaling them and hanging them on the battlefield.

Su Yan glanced at him: "Never done it before?"

"No, no, that's not it. I'll take care of it right away."

He also smiled. The Qing family had betrayed the Beast King Sect, and now that one of their members had been killed, it was a great joy.

Seeing Su Yan return, Wang Mingqing felt reassured and handled the matter efficiently, directly piercing Qing Yunqian's body with a pole over two zhang long and standing outside Wuyi City.

At the same time, he was really stirring up trouble, trying to give Wanmu City a good thrashing. He released not just one demonic martial artist, but also sent several waves of Cloud-Piercing Sparrows to Wanmu City, Tianji Fortress, and Cangcui Mountain.

In an instant, the people of Wuyi City felt much more at ease, and the shadow of war dissipated considerably.

However, Tianji Fortress, Cangcui Mountain, and Wanmu City underwent earth-shattering changes.
