The Demon Slayer Martial Saint Begins with Insect Refining

Chapter 286 The Great Escape in the Mist
The two-headed venomous serpent was only at the early stage of the third tier. Although it launched a sudden attack, it was still unable to resist under Su Yan's suppression. Its entire body was turned over, exposing the wound on its inner abdomen.

The wound was no longer bleeding; the large gash was completely dry, and all the vital essence had been swallowed up.

After just one glance, Long Qiushui immediately realized: "The two Qing brothers are in the mist."

Su Yan pierced the head of the heavily injured two-headed venomous snake, took out its demon core, stored the corpse in his insect world space, and handed the demon core to Long Qiushui.

Long Qiushui was taken aback for a moment, and Su Yan said, "The Xuan Shuang Tian Centipede can be used."

Long Qiushui entered Poison Dragon Valley this time to obtain the inheritance of Poison Dragon Daoist and complete her transformation in the Poison Dragon Pool.

This transformation isn't just about the true essence of the Frost Centipede; if the contracted beast can also transform, then the improvement for her will undoubtedly be the greatest.

Long Qiushui did not refuse and nodded slightly as she accepted the demon core.

"The Qing brothers have been secretly plotting so much; they're probably going to make their move against those Danqiao martial artists here."

Long Qiushui's eyes were cold. Su Yan thought for a moment and said, "There are probably no fewer than twenty or thirty people at the Danqiao Realm who can get here. With the five-colored poisonous mist as the miasma, there may not be many of them traveling together. For the two of them, this is a rare opportunity."

Su Yan sneered: "However, if we let him succeed, we'll be in danger."

Not to mention their plot against Poison Dragon Valley with the Hualong lineage, their betrayal of the Beast King Sect, their ambush of Su Yan and Long Qiushui, coupled with Qingyun Qian's grudge, both sides are eager to grind each other to dust.

Long Qiushui said, "The poisonous fog continues to corrode, and although the pressure is weaker, the powerful wild beasts here all have the strength of the third rank, so it will not be easy to find them."

but……

As Long Qiushui finished speaking, she thought of her disciple's methods.

She looked at Su Yan and asked, "What do you want?"

"Make a huge scene."

As he spoke, insect armor appeared all over Su Yan's body, making him appear like an ironclad warrior shrouded in ferocious and cold insect armor, obscuring his true appearance.

A murderous aura gathered around him, and at the same time, a faint dragon-shaped phantom appeared behind him.

This was not his original intention, but rather the form of a blood dragon evolved from the Dragon-Eating Worm, combined with some of the true essence of the Azure-Scaled Poisonous Dragon, transforming into the appearance of this Ink-Blood Dragon.

Long Qiushui was shocked. Su Yan, who had just been upright, now seemed like an old demon, exuding a natural aura of malevolence.

The Devouring Soldier Phantom appeared in Su Yan's palm, now shrunk to the size of two fingers, resembling a piece of black jade.

Su Yan placed it in Long Qiushui's palm. Long Qiushui felt the power contained in the Devouring Soldier Netherworld, and a strange light appeared in her eyes. She was shocked.

“I remember you once had a ferocious insect called the Gold-Eating Demon Insect. Could it have turned into this?”

Long Qiushui knew the state of the Gold-Eating Demon Insect. He had fed it many special metals in the past, but he never expected it to change so drastically. If he hadn't been familiar with it enough and sensed a trace of aura deep within it, he probably wouldn't have recognized it at all.

"The Devouring Weapon Phantom can control many illusory weapon images, and their images and shapes are somewhat similar to the true meaning of the illusory image of the Holy Weapon Path."

Long Qiushui understood immediately, and a slight smile appeared on her lips: "You're going to pretend to be a demonic martial artist?"

"nature"

Su Yan smiled and said, "Since most of the disciples of the Beast King Sect are not coming, we don't need to worry too much about the Danqiao Realm warriors in this secret realm. If we encounter any who don't like us, we can deal with them all at once."

In the secret realm treasure hunt, unless you're a close friend, everyone who enters is a competitor, so don't even mention respect and friendliness.

Especially at this time, because of the great battle, many people have the idea of ​​coveting Poison Dragon Valley, making it a mixed bag.

"But" Long Qiushui had no psychological burden at all, because there were no indiscriminately kind people in their lineage.

She placed the Devouring Soldier Netherworld on her shoulder, and the next moment the Devouring Soldier Netherworld released its Netherworld power and merged with her true essence, a dark phantom of a spiritual artifact armor enveloped her body.

Long Qiushui's appearance changed drastically, and his aura became like that of a demonic martial artist.

The two changed drastically. Su Yan opened the Insect Realm Space, and tens of thousands of Fiend Bees surged out.

The evil bees continued to spread, disappearing into the five-colored poisonous mist in the blink of an eye.

"let's go."

……

"What's going on? We've been heading straight for Poison Dragon Peak, so why is it taking so long?"

Within the mist, hordes of poisonous creatures relentlessly attacked, among which one possessed the cultivation of the early stage of the third rank—a black giant lizard.

"Junior brother, you hold off these beasts, I'll go and kill that poisonous lizard."

Surrounded by a swarm of poisonous creatures, there were two swordsmen, a man and a woman.

The woman, dressed in white, wielded a green sword that hummed softly like a dragon as she flew straight towards the poisonous lizard.

"it is good!"

The man agreed, and drew his longsword, splitting it into seven sword lights that swept away the poisonous creatures in front of him like rain.

With a single strike, hundreds and thousands of poisonous creatures were swept away. Wherever the sword light passed, the poisonous creatures were torn apart, and filthy blood was scattered all over the ground.

Both were martial artists from the Sword Sect. The man was named Li Lingxu, one of the newly promoted Danqiao cultivators in the Sword Sect. The woman was both his senior sister and his Daoist partner, named Xueyi Sword Liu Manning.

Li Lingxu cleared a path with his sword, and the venomous lizard that was relying on poisonous creatures for its attack was taken aback and dodged the sword light.

Suddenly, a sword of white snow shot from Liu Manning's hand, its light sharp and its chilling aura as cold as snow, instantly piercing the head of the poisonous lizard.

Once the venomous lizard dies, the poison dissipates quickly.

Liu Manning cleaved open the venomous lizard's head with a single sword stroke, extracted its inner core, and her face lit up with joy.

Li Lingxu came to his side, his eyes also showing surprise: "As expected of the secret realm of True Poison Dragon, even this poisonous lizard is showing signs of splitting into a dragon. With such a demon core, one can hone one's sword intent and physical body, and breaking through to the next realm is just around the corner."

"good"

Liu Manning nodded: "Even though the Nine Peaks Sect and the Beast King Sect are the most likely to receive the inheritance, it doesn't mean there aren't other treasures in the secret realm. The third-tier resources alone are enough to improve your strength."

"This fog is rather strange; it's probably part of a test. We'll search along the way, first to Poison Dragon Peak, and then..."

"whoosh"

A fierce wind swept in from behind, swirling poisonous mist. Liu Manning swiftly swung out her Xueyi sword to block the attack from behind, the sword clanging loudly as it managed to deflect a beam of light.

"who?!"

"As expected of a master from the Sword Sect, his perception ability is far superior to that of those rogue cultivators."

A sinister voice came from the left, right, and rear, and two dark figures emerged.

Qing Yunke and Qing Yunheng walked out one after the other, their eyes as black as demons.

not good!

Liu Manning and Li Lingxu felt a sudden chill in their hearts. The two men's auras were too powerful; they were at least at the third level of the Heavenly Realm or even at the level of a Starry Sky Warrior.

"go!"

The two were perfectly in sync and made an immediate decision to retreat, unleashing their magical artifacts as they sprang back.

However, there was one person who was even faster than them.

Like a ghost, Qing Yunke rushed towards them, covering a hundred meters in the blink of an eye. His aged and indifferent face, like that of a demon, appeared before Liu Manning.

Black energy condensed in the claws, resembling ghostly claws.

Qing Yunke grabbed Liu Manning's head with one hand and slammed it into the ground. The loud bang created a huge crater in the hard ground, and the surrounding area was full of cracks.

"All...All Stars Heaven?!"

The powerful force shattered all of Liu Manning's true essence protective body at the second level of the Heavenly Realm, leaving her once beautiful appearance covered in blood.

His surging true essence was constantly entangled and devoured by the black energy, causing him to tremble uncontrollably, as if he were standing in a sub-zero gale. "Senior Sister!"

Li Lingxu flew over, and seven sword lights rushed straight towards Qing Yunke.

Despite the sword light, Qingyun Ke did not dodge in the slightest. Instead, Qingyun Heng rushed out from his side, his figure transforming into a green wooden dragon, his claws like sharp blades, making the sword light clang loudly.

Qing Yunheng flew over, knocked down Li Lingxu, and broke his arm.

"Do you want to save your senior sister?"

Qing Yunke lifted Liu Manning, whose face was deathly pale, and withered, skin-like hands, like ghostly hands, grabbed Liu Manning's fair and slender neck.

Liu Manning let out a painful groan, a sound that shattered Li Lingxu's resistance.

"What are you going to do?"

"Let me ask you a question. Have you ever seen anyone from the Beast King Sect?"

“No, no.”

Li Lingxu shook his head, and a snapping sound rang out. His eyes widened in fury.

"Then you're all useless."

Qingyun Ke snapped Liu Manning's neck without expression, then devoured her golden core completely.

His eyes were gloomy, and then he said to Qingyun Heng, who was still digging out golden cores, "In the next place, these cores have already realized something is wrong."

……

Five-colored poisonous mist continued to sweep across the area. Poison Dragon Peak was clearly within reach. In the past, one could have already stepped onto Poison Dragon Peak and comprehended the true meaning of the Poison Dragon.

However, for a full hour now, even martial artists at the Danqiao realm have been unable to get close to Poison Dragon Peak.

The poisonous fog seemed to come alive, constantly interfering with their senses and trapping them inside the valley.

More and more Danqiao Realm martial artists realized something was wrong; someone had deliberately trapped them here.

Meanwhile, more and more desiccated corpses, whether wild beasts or humans, all looked exactly the same.

Someone is hunting down Danqiao.

Panic spread throughout the Poison Mist Valley, and independent cultivators began to band together. Danqiao warriors from the Sword Sect and the Nine Peaks Sect even sought out their fellow disciples.

"boom"

In front of a crimson poisonous lotus, a hideous and grotesque blood jade toad was blasted away by Su Yan.

Beside him, Long Qiushui held a banner in one hand and summoned several blood demons, causing an old man with white hair and beard to retreat in defeat.

Su Yan punched the Blood Jade Toad on the head, instantly injuring it severely.

"Fellow Daoist, please stop. It was wrong of me to try to seize the treasure. I am willing to compensate you."

When the Blood Toad Ancestor saw his precious wild beast beaten into such a state, he was extremely anxious.

However, the female demon blood ghost in front of him was really difficult to deal with, and he couldn't break free at all.

I've never heard of such two masters emerging from the demonic path.

Su Yan didn't stop at all, and kept punching the Blood Jade Toad's head.

The next moment, the Blood Jade Toad was killed instantly, and the Blood Toad Ancestor suffered a backlash, being torn apart by the Blood Ghost Phantom.

"Killed three, robbed four, and still haven't encountered Qingyun Ke..."

Su Yan plucked the Blood Demon Lotus and transplanted it into the Insect Realm space, lost in thought.

Long Qiushui said, "The Five-Colored Poison Mist has been tampered with. The valley's ley lines have been used to draw out the Five-Colored Poison Mist to form a blockade. The key to the formation is located at Poison Dragon Peak."

"Can it be cracked?"

"Can"

Long Qiushui's words were concise and to the point. Their lineage already had sufficient information about Poison Dragon Valley, and as long as they knew the terrain, they could quickly break the formation.

Su Yan fell into deep thought; the poisonous fog had now completely descended into chaos.

Almost all the alchemists had received the news that a pair of demonic thieves were specifically targeting them in this poisonous fog.

Everyone is sticking together, and even those who aren't are starting to hide.

At this moment, someone was actually even angrier than Su Yan. After the Qingyun Ke brothers hunted down several Danqiao, they found that the remaining Danqiao were either clustered together or completely concealed their figures and auras, and they no longer even coveted the opportunities in the valley.

The two had no other means, and it was even more impossible for them to release the Fiend Bees as spies like Su Yan did.

In this way, there's simply no opportunity to make a move.

"Go to the foot of Poison Dragon Peak and wait for the rabbit to run into the tree stump."

Su Yan narrowed his eyes: "The Fiend Bees have a limited range of movement in the Five-Colored Poison Mist. I haven't found Brother Qingyun Ke, but now the Sword One Sect, Nine Peaks Sect, Three Flame Divine Palace, and Hundred Caves Witch Sect have all gathered together. We can't find an opportunity to make a move. The brothers are the same; they must be heading towards Poison Dragon Peak."

Having made his decision, Su Yan nodded and said, "Okay."

The two made up their minds, and this time Long Qiushui took the lead to find the vein patterns in the valley.

The two broke through the blockade of the five-colored poisonous mist and walked step by step toward Poison Dragon Peak.

At this time, the Sword Sect, the Nine Peaks Sect, and others also figured out the strangeness of the fog and used their respective methods to head towards Poison Dragon Peak.

The Three Flames Divine Palace and the Hundred Caves Witch Clan also brought in a considerable number of people, including some skilled in formations. Although they might not be able to break the formation directly, finding Poison Dragon Peak would not be a problem.

Among the independent cultivators, led by the Bitterwood Ancestor Bian Tai'an, a group of Danqiao Realm martial artists with whom they had previously interacted gathered and are now heading towards Poison Dragon Peak.

For a moment, the fighting within the five-colored poisonous mist subsided, and almost everyone rushed towards Poison Dragon Peak.

"Damn it, if I find out who plotted against us, I will cut him in half with my sword."

Yu Lingbo of the Sword Sect, who had been suppressing his anger, finally broke through the fog and saw the Poison Dragon Peak, which stood like a coiled dragon.

There were three other people with him, two men and one woman, carrying swords behind them.

"Senior brother, be careful. Since that thief has set up a trap, he will not let us escape easily."

The woman spoke up to warn them, when suddenly a strange black shadow attacked.

"brush"

Yu Lingbo unleashed a sword strike, splitting the dark shadow in two, revealing a jade-green scorpion.

"Get out of the Hundred Caves Witch Clan!"

Upon seeing this tactic, Yu Lingbo's face was filled with rage.

"The Sword Sect's methods are indeed excellent."

Within the poisonous fog, several figures quickly emerged, their silver ornaments jingling, and their arms subtly adorned with tattoos. There were four people in total, two men and two women.

The leader was an old woman who looked like she was about to die, but her pair of cold eyes made people dare not underestimate her in the slightest.

"Fellow Daoists of the Three Flames Divine Palace, what are you waiting for? Let's wipe out the Sword Sect together, and this trip will not have been in vain."

The old woman's cry shattered the concealment of the Three Flames Divine Palace, and another group of people emerged from the five-colored poisonous mist.

"What's the rush? Let's find the person who plotted this first."
