The Demon Slayer Martial Saint Begins with Insect Refining

Chapter 288 Struggle and Grab
"Okay big brother."

At this moment, everyone on Poison Dragon Peak was focused on their own ascent. The shocking deaths of Wei Mengbo and Feng Yuxiao were probably not even noticed by Yu Lingbo, who was at the very top.

They had reached the middle of the hill, hundreds of feet away from the bottom of the mountain.

The howling mountain winds and the oppressive aura of the poisonous dragon served as barriers separating the group.

This also became the opportunity for the Qing brothers to take action.

When the Qingyun Heng brothers saw that Su Yan and Long Qiushui were alone at the back, they immediately recognized them as rogue cultivators, which was just the right time for them to make their move.

Qingyun Heng flew over, the heavy pressure from the mountain causing him to stumble slightly, but after a short while, his speed was not slow, and he headed straight for Su Yan.

"Fellow Daoists, please wait!"

The increasingly demonic essence of the Azure Dragon emerged behind Qing Yunheng, and the spirit sword in his hand attacked Su Yan's back, turning into a scarlet light.

Su Yan sneered and suddenly took a step forward, his hand covered in insect armor, golden light emanating from it, and he slammed a punch into the sword.

when!
With a loud bang, a powerful force surged into the sword, and Qing Yunheng's expression changed drastically, his body slightly faltering.

Su Yan's arm felt slightly numb, but his eyes were sharp as knives.

"Third Level of the Danqiao Realm"

He snorted coldly, his true intent enveloping his body. The true intent of the Subduing Tiger King instantly rose from the ground, and his hands formed a hand seal as the Hundred Tigers Breaking Army attacked.

Qing Yunheng's face suddenly turned ashen, veins bulging on his forehead, and he gritted his teeth: "Su Yan of the Beast King Sect!"

The Subduing Tiger King True Meaning is one of the ultimate techniques of the Hundred Tiger Peak of the Beast King Sect. In recent years, only one person has been able to cultivate the Subduing Tiger King Body to this level.

"Noisy!"

The Azure Cloud Hengxuan Wood Spirit Sword formed a net of sword shadows, and the Azure Wood Dragon swam into the net, creating an azure curtain, attempting to block the attack of the Subduing Tiger King's true intent.

However, as the hundred tigers roared, Su Yan's True Essence Golden Core and Blood Qi Golden Core spun continuously within his body, like small stars within him. Around them, seventy-two small star apertures operated continuously, and a vast amount of True Essence surged out.

As this true essence circulated, the attack of the Hundred Tigers Breaking the Army, the true meaning of the Subduing Tiger King, subtly showed a tendency to mobilize the surrounding natural spiritual energy.

With this strike, the sword curtain shattered abruptly.

"Second brother!"

Qingyun Ke's expression suddenly changed, his eyes widened in horror as he watched helplessly as the Hundred Tigers Breaking Army Seal conjured a giant tiger the size of a small mountain, blasting Qingyun Heng to the ground.

The mountain shook, as if an earth dragon were turning over.

As the Tiger-Taming King raised his hand, Qingyun Heng in the deep pit was covered in wounds, his clothes were tattered, and his arms were covered in cracked wounds, with blood dripping down continuously.

"Impossible! You've only been an apprentice for less than three years, impossible!"

Qingyun Heng had gone mad; his eyes bulged out, bloodshot and red, like a demon.

His body swelled up, and the blood gushing from his wounds became even more terrifying. The Azure Dragon merged with him, transforming into a hundred-foot-tall phantom, ready to fight to the death with Su Yan's Subduing Tiger King True Meaning.

Su Yan's gaze was calm, but he had already noticed that something was wrong with Qing Yunheng.

He continuously increases his strength through evil means, but his mind and character are also being eroded more and more severely. If he can break through the Dharma Form and stabilize his soul, there is still a chance to slowly make up for it.

But now, with my mind and spirit lost, that's all I can do.

As the shadowy Aoki Dragon charged forward, Su Yan, controlling the true intent of the Subduing Tiger King, directly attacked, his fist intent fierce and his divine might unparalleled.

Their true intentions clashed like mountains, and with one punch, they knocked the Green Wood Dragon to the ground.

Qingyun Heng's true intent trembled, and he became even more frenzied. He was clearly a third-level martial artist, so how could he be inferior to this brat who killed his third brother?

Qingyun Heng's attacks became increasingly frenzied, and at this point, Qingyun Ke had already sensed something was wrong.

His face was solemn as he leaped forward, the blue lion behind him like a demon, with the power to devour the heavens.

However, before the attack even reached the battlefield, a clanging sound like a dragon's roar rang out. Long Qiushui flew in, and the true essence of Xuan Shuang Tian Wu descended from the sky, resembling a white dragon.

At this moment, the Xuan Shuang Tian Centipede flew out of her beast-storing pouch, spitting out a golden halo, like a blazing sun, which headed straight for the Azure Lion.

Roar!
The blue lion roared, shattering the rocks in front of it, but it seemed quite helpless in the face of the attack from the Shadow Sun Ring.

Where the shadowy sun swept across, a huge gash was cut into the Azure Lion's true essence, and it gradually recovered as its true essence surged.

Long Qiushui stood beneath the immense true meaning of Xuan Shuang Tianwu, his long robes fluttering, with the Frost Moon Ring and Shadow Sun Ring intertwined behind him. His cultivation was only slightly inferior to that of Zhu Xingtian.

She was originally a third-level martial artist, and at the third level of the seventh stage of the third ... first stage

Now that she has entered the Poison Dragon Valley, through her gradual enlightenment, although she has not yet grasped the true meaning and inheritance of the Poison Dragon, it does not mean that she is weak.

The combination of the Frost Moon Ring and the Shadow Sun Ring, which borrows the power of Yin and Yang and mobilizes the spiritual energy of nature, is one of her trump cards.

"Long Qiushui!"

At this moment, Qing Yunke resembled an enraged lion, his eyes bloodshot and sinister: "If you get out of my way, I might spare your life."

"What a loud tone."

Long Qiushui was particularly domineering towards outsiders. With a flick of her slender finger, the Frost Moon Ring and Shadow Sun Ring shot out like a madman, heading straight for Qingyun Ke.

When the true meaning of the Xuan Shuang Tian Wu (Heavenly Centipede) merged with the contracted beast, and they were in a state of near-identical origin, the aura it unleashed was even more terrifying.

Enraged, Qingyun Ke sentenced Long Qiushui to death in his heart. Like a demon, he mobilized his true energy over several miles, transforming it into sword light and slashing at Long Qiushui.

The two fought with such great force that they shook the mountainside.

Qingyun Ke lived up to his reputation as a martial artist of the Star Realm. Even though he was a martial artist of the Star Realm who constantly improved through crooked methods and his foundation was not strong, his strength was still there, and he gained a slight advantage for a time.

However, Long Qiushui's counterattack was fierce and ruthless. Her double-ring attacks were swift and coordinated perfectly with her contracted beast, blocking all of the opponent's attacks and striking the enemy's most vulnerable spots, forcing Qing Yunke to be timid and hesitant.

Qingyun Ke couldn't find an opportunity to come and help Qingyun Heng for the time being.

The battlefield was now divided in two: Long Qiushui had stopped Qing Yunke, while Su Yan was beating up Qing Yunheng.

Even a tiger has the power to subdue a dragon.

Although Qing Yunheng was indeed quite skilled at manifesting his true intent, Su Yan also manifested the true intent of the Azure Scale Poisonous Dragon at this moment, wrapping it around the arm of the Subduing Tiger King's true intent.

The True Intent Fist of the Subduing Tiger King shattered the heavens, landing punch after punch on the True Intent of the Green Wood Dragon.

Each punch shattered Qingmu Long's true intent, and Qing Yunheng inside was in an even worse state, his entire body stained with blood.

He was acting like a madman at this moment, only knowing how to kill Su Yan, his greatest enemy.

However, the attack had long since lost its rhythm, and his cultivation as a third-level martial artist was completely ineffective at this moment.

The true intent of the Subduing Tiger King struck down, and this punch, as powerful as a pillar supporting the sky, directly shattered the true intent.

The giant hand grabbed Qing Yunheng, completely squeezing him in its palm.

Qingyun Heng's tendons and veins were all severed, and blood kept gushing from his mouth. He looked extremely pitiful, but his eyes had regained some clarity.

"Injustice! Injustice!"

He muttered to himself, then suddenly widened his eyes and stared directly at Su Yan: "How much have my three brothers sacrificed to reach our current level of cultivation? How, how can you be so strong?!"

The second-level expert attacked the third-level expert, and apart from a slight difference in the quality of true essence, completely suppressed him.

With a snap, Su Yan merely glanced at him coldly, and the True Meaning of the Subduing Tiger King had already crushed him to death.

"what!"

Qingyun Ke witnessed his younger brother's death, and his furious roar was like that of a wild beast.

boom!
He punched the Shadow Sun Ring, knocking it back, and his large hand, like a claw, created a hundred-foot claw shadow, heading straight for Long Qiushui.

Long Qiushui's expression changed slightly. Under the protection of her Heavenly Python Dharma Body, the five python shadows rushed forward, but they were also broken by this demonic attack. She retreated, ultimately weakened by a fraction.

Qingyun Ke was about to continue his pursuit when the Devouring Soldier Youming, the Blood Bone Centipede King, and the Eroding Dragon Worm all appeared, their demonic energy surging as they bombarded him, blocking the attack.

"Su Yan, you brat!"

Qingyun Ke's anger towards Su Yan had reached its peak; hatred almost overflowed from his eyes.

The demonic lion pounced on Su Yan, but Su Yan remained behind the ferocious insect, shouting, "Star Constellation Formation!"

Streams of true intent descended, connecting like stars, their light swirling, their true essence surging.

Su Yan's Qi and Blood Golden Elixir and True Essence Golden Elixir circulated endlessly, and the star apertures around his body appeared and disappeared.

Long Qiushui also flew over at this moment, using the Shadow Sun Ring and Frost Moon Ring to construct the Sun and Moon Twin Stars of the Star Constellation Array. In an instant, the array was formed, sealing Qing Yunke within it.

"Roar"

The Azure Lion roared wildly, its demonic flames raging, and its hundred-foot-tall body crashed into the great array barrier, causing it to tremble violently.

"Master, you hold him back, I'll suppress him."

Long Qiushui nodded and immediately drew starlight into the formation, standing atop the head of the Xuan Shuang Tian Centipede, where she engaged in battle with Qing Yunke.

This attack was also coordinated by the Blood Bone Centipede King, the Devouring Soldier Moth, and the Eroding Dragon Worm.

Surrounded by one, the moves came and went, true energy surged, like a cluster of flowers, or a battle between dragons and tigers.

Qingyun Ke was indeed formidable when he went berserk, but since he was no longer able to control the spiritual energy within the great formation, the threat posed by this Zhuxing Tian warrior naturally decreased somewhat.

The more he fought, the more he was restrained by Long Qiushui, and there was a faint trend of Long Qiushui turning the tables and suppressing him.

Su Yan had been preparing for a long time, and now his true essence was like a flood, with rays of light like star belts wrapping around the true meaning of the Subduing Tiger King.

His insect-like body was completely covered by insect bones and armor, and at the same time, the seed of insect consciousness continued to extend, just like the meridians of the Subduing Tiger King.

Power converges, and starlight gathers within the illusory body of the Subduing Tiger King.

"Fuhu!"

The tiger-taming technique in Su Yan's mouth seemed to be a law, and his large palm pressed down, like a giant mountain slowly pressing down from the sky.

Qingyun Ke, like an old demon, looked up and saw the attack, and laughed wildly as he came forward. The green lion shook and fell into his body, and the demonic flames surged wildly.

With a loud bang, Qing Yunke was sent flying backward. Long Qiushui manipulated the two rings, alternating left and right, and with a flash of light, they slashed across Qing Yunke's neck.

Instantly, the formation fell completely silent as Qingyun Ke's head fell, leaving no trace.

Su Yan dispersed his true intent, and Long Qiushui also circulated her true essence, which calmed her down somewhat.

At this moment, many people on the mountainside looked at the two of them, and their fear was palpable.

Who would have thought that the first fallen Zhuxingtian warrior would be here, and that he would be killed by two Danqiao warriors of the Beast King Sect at the 'Third Heaven' level?

Su Yan withdrew his true intent, and the Blood Bone Centipede King devoured the flesh and blood of the two brothers, Qing Yun Ke and Qing Yun Heng.

As they devoured Qingyun Ke's golden core, a pitch-black golden core suddenly appeared in front of them.

"The three pills combine to form the Devouring Pill, nurturing a fierce appearance; this is the Devouring Essence Golden Pill of the Three Flames Divine Palace."

Those who commit many unrighteous acts will surely perish.

Su Yan slightly raised his eyes. Even if this method breaks through the Dharma Form, the road ahead will probably become increasingly difficult.

The two of them had now fallen far behind the other Danqiao martial artists. Long Qiushui frowned slightly and said, "If that Poison Toad King succeeds, this inheritance will probably fall into the hands of the wild beast. I'm afraid my senior uncle will be unhappy."

"Take it back."

Su Yan looked up at the mountain, took a step forward, and under the immense pressure, his figure only swayed slightly.

'Such a strong physical body'

Although it wasn't the first time she had seen it, Long Qiushui was still shocked by Su Yan's physical strength.

“Your physical body is stronger than mine, so go up first, and I will follow shortly.”

Su Yan's displayed strength was enough to protect himself, so whether Long Qiushui or he received the inheritance, it made no difference.

"it is good"

Su Yan nodded and strode up the mountain. The heavy pressure felt like a mountain pressing down on him, as if the dense poisonous dragon essence was pressing down on him alone.

The venomous dragon's eyes were lowered, their golden light terrifying, as if it were aggressively questioning who could withstand its power.

Su Yan looked up and smiled. A green-scaled poisonous dragon coiled around his body, and scales like dragon scales appeared. He activated the Poison Dragon Golden Body Technique, a technique at the Transcendent Realm.

He dispersed all his true energy to protect himself, actually using his physical body to withstand the pressure of true intent.

"Su Yan from Guicang Valley has come to request the inheritance of his grandmaster. Fellow Daoists, please do me a favor."

He strode upwards, and a rogue cultivator near him, whose eye socket was not far away, blurted out, "You think you can just let me pass like that..."

Before the words had even faded, Su Yan moved like a dragon, stepping in front of him and throwing a punch that sent the man sprawling and unable to dodge, leaving a bruise on his face.

My life is over!

The man tried to fight back, but Su Yan grabbed his hands and feet and pushed him aside.

Su Yan laughed heartily, drawing countless strands of true meaning into his body like swimming dragons. The mountain resonated with him, the poisonous dragon lowered its will, and one cultivation insight after another gradually merged into his body.

His eyes lit up, and he was overjoyed: "So this is the legacy of my grandmaster? I should have thought of it sooner. Grandmaster was easygoing but domineering. Being subservient is not the style of our lineage."

He gained the true meaning's approval; what Tai Lingyue left behind was merging with him—this was true inheritance.

However, how much Su Yan can endure depends on how high he can go.

Thinking this through, he looked up and saw that there were only about twenty people in front of him, whether they were rogue cultivators or from the righteous or demonic paths.

He quickly caught up, stepping over each person as he passed, and if they yielded, that was fine.

If anyone speaks rudely, harbors ulterior motives, or attacks directly, Su Yan will directly strike with his physical body, either suppressing or killing them.

The higher you go on Poison Dragon Peak, the more intense the suppression of true essence becomes.

The stronger one's physical body, the greater the advantage.

In a short time, Su Yan killed three people, defeated four others, and traversed hundreds of feet, reaching the halfway point of the mountain.

"Fellow Daoist, please ascend the mountain first."

Halfway up the mountain, Ke Zixian of the Sword Sect held his sword with both hands and bowed slightly in salute.

Mu Ziliang from the Nine Peaks Sect beside him also bowed, showing a humble demeanor.

Su Yan was slightly surprised. Ke Zixian said, "Fellow Daoist avenged my fellow disciples, which is a great favor. We two know that we are no match for you. Please go up the mountain first, but please be careful. The Hundred Caves Witch Clan and Chi Tong at the pass have stopped climbing and are probably going to block everyone."

"Please be careful, fellow Daoist."

Su Yan nodded slightly: "Thank you for the reminder."

He strode away, not worried that the two would dare to betray him, his momentum like a dragon, each step exuding power.

"Phew," Mu Ziliang watched his departing figure, sweating profusely. He smiled bitterly and said, "The mountain's momentum, true meaning, and aura are perfectly integrated. With such resonance, even if he doesn't reach the summit, most of the inheritance will fall into his hands. This kid is indeed a prodigy, and I don't believe that True Person Poison Dragon didn't leave any backup plan."

Ke Zixian spat, "Those who are out in the game all have dirty hearts. All this talk of secret realms and opportunities is just a bunch of lies."
