The Demon Slayer Martial Saint Begins with Insect Refining

Chapter 302 The Battle to Knock on the Gate
Only five people in the entire Beast King Sect knew about the Giant Spirit Insect Body.

Gu Sanqian, Bi Qingman, Long Qiushui, Chu Qidao, and the sect's patriarch Qiu Weifeng.

Su Yan possessed exceptional talent, and in their eyes, he was the most likely martial artist of his generation to break through to the Golden Body Realm.

The two of them also noticed that Su Yan's spirit insect was breaking through, which is why they came one after another to conceal the aura.

Bi Qingman asked with a serious expression, "The demonic sects are about to enter the gates. If you insist on letting him show his talent, and he gets targeted by the demonic sects, our Beast King Sect lineage cannot afford such a great loss."

Bi Qingmanqi's beast is a Moon-Eating Insect, and she knows better than anyone the strength of Su Yan's innate martial body.

The Giant Spirit Insect race is born with the strength of a Demon Saint upon reaching adulthood.

With this bloodline, even if Su Yan is not as powerful as the Giant Spirit Insect, he is still a Golden Body Realm martial artist, one level below. As long as he cultivates step by step, this is not a problem.

Moreover, the Giant Spirit Insect is uniquely gifted in the cultivation of spirit insects; just look at the ferocious insects under its command.

Third-tier ferocious insects are as numerous as carp crossing a river. If he can successfully break through to the Golden Body Realm, it would mean that the Beast King Sect will likely have several more fifth-tier beast kings.

Bi Qingman did not believe that Chu Qidao was unaware of Su Yan's importance.

Chu Qidao replied, "I know, so during the battle, Junior Sister, you don't need to worry about anything else, just protect the two of them."

Bi Qingman was taken aback. Chu Qidao continued, "Although the great battle has begun, the demonic sects are making such a big show of themselves and cooperating with the Witch Kingdom. Their goal is to seize the lands of Lingnan Prefecture and Donghuang Prefecture. I'm afraid these two might not even be of any interest to the other side."

"Moreover, for them, this great battle may well be a valuable experience."

……

The entire city of Wangtian Pass was in a state of panic, with martial artists from all the major sects gathering in the city to accept the leadership of the three major sects.

The three factions, along with their subordinate factions, gathered a total of about 100,000 warriors, all of whom were on high alert.

"Woo!"

The sound of battle horns rang out, and a hurricane as sharp as steel blades swept across the city walls of Wangtian Pass. Banners fluttered, and a chilling atmosphere enveloped the entire city.

Su Yan and Long Qiushui, along with a group of Danqiao martial artists, were standing on the city wall with Yan Yin, Mu Yu, and others.

Inside the Danqiao, the person in the lead was Huang Shouzhen, Chu Qidao's disciple, and next to him was Yin Yuxi, who ranked second on the Dragon List.

Everyone's expressions turned solemn as they looked into the distance. At the end of Wangtian Pass, a black line like a tide appeared on the horizon.

A vast army of demonic warriors is approaching step by step. Sky-covering flying vultures flap their wings, and thousands of Nine Nether Ships are neatly arranged. War behemoths, hundreds of feet tall, are breaking through mountains one by one.

Even though they were far apart, Su Yan and the others felt an extreme sense of oppression.

Dark clouds are threatening to destroy the city!
The army arrived at Wangtian Pass, where a dense mass of warriors, wild beasts, and flying vultures and Nine Nether Boats hovering in mid-air were visible.

A chilling killing intent enveloped almost the entire Wangtian Pass.

The three-headed elephant, each three hundred feet tall, with giant tusks tens of feet long on its head, and covered in gray rock layers, carries three ancient wooden buildings on its back.

The ancient building was old and solemn. On its high platform, there were more than twenty high seats. Each seat was occupied by a powerful martial artist with an aura as deep as the abyss. They were either old or young and had different faces. Among them, Su Yan recognized one of them. He was none other than Yao Lixuan, who had a pale face.

"The demonic Dharma Aspect True Person has come out in full force; this time it may be difficult to deal with."

Yan Yin also saw the number of Dharma Aspect True Persons on the other side, a total of twenty-seven. It can be said that all the experts from the three major sects have come out, and the Dharma Aspect Ancestors under their command probably have no intention of hiding anything.

"The Witch Kingdom had been planning this for a long time. The 400,000 witch soldiers launched a surprise attack on Donghuang Prefecture and Lingnan Prefecture, which tied down a large number of experts. This was a helpless situation."

Huang Shouzhen showed a helpless expression, but his eyes were solemn. He knew that the battle to breach the pass was the key point.

If they can withstand the attack, the pressure from the other side's Wu Kingdom will be greatly reduced; if they cannot, Lingnan Prefecture and Donghuang Prefecture will likely be mired in the quagmire of war.

Don't assume that the Dali Dynasty can dominate everything just because it has martial saints or even terrestrial immortals. If it gains a significant advantage, the witch god of the Witch Kingdom will sit idly by.

The roar of the ancient elephant pierced the entire battlefield, shaking people's hearts like an ancient thunderclap.

Inside Wangtian Pass, a powerful aura broke through the ancient elephant's roar.

"Wu Yufan, you use these petty tricks to deal with me. Your insidious nature hasn't changed in hundreds of years."

Chu Qidao stood atop the main city wall of Wangtian Pass, stroking his beard with a smile, his gaze seemingly piercing through the thousand-foot distance to land on the Ancient Elephant Terrace Tower.

In the center of the ancient elephant, the blue-faced man's eyes revealed a cold, serpentine glint. He sneered, "You haven't changed either; you're still just as hypocritical."

"Switch the gates and surrender, and your sect will be spared. Otherwise, the witch soldiers will enter the pass and your sect will be destroyed."

Wu Yufan's tone was stern, his killing intent completely unreserved, and the faint phantom of a Heavenly Demon Scorpion appeared behind him.

Sword Sect Leader Meng Yitang, his sword intent soaring to the heavens, coldly snorted, "If you want to fight, then fight!"

Both were at the peak of the Dharma Aspect realm, and their clashing auras caused the heavens and earth to change color.

At this moment, tensions were high between the two sides, and the morale of their armies had reached its peak.

"Siege!"

As soon as the voice fell, the demonic army let out a deafening roar and surged toward the towering Wangtian Pass like a flood.

Among the ranks of the Hundred Caves Witch Clan, one after another, giant cages were pushed to the front of the formation, made of ironwood and about two zhang high.

Thousands of cages were lined up in a row. With a clang, the cage doors were flung open, and the Yaksha monster charged out like a wild horse, rushing madly toward the city wall.

Smoke and dust rose everywhere, and the roar was like a drumbeat.

Tens of thousands of Yaksha monsters launched an attack on the city walls.

Rumble

A tremor resounded, and billowing dust rose from the ranks of the demonic warriors as three colossal beasts, each a hundred feet tall and comparable in size to ancient elephants, charged out of the formation.

On its back, the magical artifact continuously gathered energy and then unleashed three earth-shattering beams of light, directly blasting towards the city wall.

A great battle suddenly broke out.

From Wangtian Pass, a shout rang out, and the mountain-protecting formation suddenly rose, a golden barrier instantly enveloping the area a hundred feet in front of Wangtian Pass.

The beam of light, several meters thick, was intercepted by the barrier, creating ripples like a tsunami.

The Yaksha monster army rushed to the edge of the fortress, pounced and squeezed into the barrier, then roared as they charged toward the city walls.

bang
On the city walls, the defending warriors used crossbows and true energy cannons to launch a counterattack.

One after another, bombardments landed on the battlefield, blasting out deep craters. The impacting Yaksha monsters were torn apart, and neighboring Yaksha monsters were overturned by the powerful shockwaves.

After a barrage of attacks, more than a thousand Yaksha monsters were lost. However, the remaining Yaksha monsters unleashed an even more frenzied momentum and continued to charge.

The war behemoths continued their bombardment, the barrier rippled constantly, and the demonic warriors arrived in legions. Under the cover of the Yaksha monsters, as well as the Nine Nether Boats, flying vultures, and flying cavalry in mid-air, they launched their siege.

Outside Wangtian Pass, there were hordes of demonic warriors, and arrows rained down from the city walls.

In close combat, warriors were constantly dying beneath the city walls. Whether they were at the Body Tempering Realm or the True Intent Realm, they were no different from ordinary soldiers on this battlefield.

The location of Su Yan and other Danqiao True Persons on the city wall also became a point of attack.

The Yaksha monsters, with their extraordinary climbing abilities, rushed to the top of the wall. The moment they appeared, a sword beam flashed like a flying needle, instantly piercing the heads of more than a dozen Yaksha monsters. Huang Shouzhen stood atop the wall, his eyes narrowing: "Using humans as poison, they deserve to die."

More and more Yaksha monsters climbed up the city walls, and at the same time, warriors also began to climb up the city walls.

In the sky, flying bats attacked, each carrying at least three martial artists.

The flying bat soared above the city wall, dodging the arrows, and with a swoop, carried the warrior on its back to the top of the wall.

On this section of the city wall, dozens of warriors swarmed in.

A group of Danqiao martial artists casually unleashed sword light, cleaving the falling martial artist in two.

"It's a martial artist at the Danqiao stage!"

The demonic warrior shouted, and Yin Yuxi looked at the sky full of flying bats. Two cyan-purple longswords flew out from behind him, their beams shooting into the sky and instantly slicing down a large number of flying bats.

She killed with incredible speed, but even without going all out, the flying bats continued to surge in, only changing direction and flying towards other city walls.

"I'm going to wipe out the flying bats."

Yin Yuxi spoke succinctly, and with a swift movement, he was about to fly to another city.

Huang Shouzhen stopped them, pointed to the Nine Nether Ships and Flying Eagles slowly approaching outside the barrier, and said, "Hand over the Flying Bats to the Black Horned Giant Eagle. Our opponents have arrived."

Several streaks of light pierced through the barrier and rushed into the airspace in front of Wangtian Pass. The black-horned giant eagle and the knight on its back had just wiped out a few flying bats.

But the next moment, a blood-stained blade pierced through their bodies, knocking them down.

"Hahaha, I'll do it!"

A burly man in black robes leaped onto the top of the wall, and the ghost-faced bell in his hand slammed into the warriors on the city wall, creating a sound wave that resembled a shockwave.

The demonic cultivators, who were at the Danqiao stage, struck first, catching the defenses off guard. The Nine Nether Boat and the Flying Vulture Beast quickly closed in.

At this moment, in the airspace above Wangtian Pass, demonic warriors, like a flock of vultures, swarmed in and attacked.

"Do it!"

Huang Shouzhen leaped out, his Yellow Dragon Sword hurtling straight toward a dantian, the very man wielding the Ghost Face Bell.

The sword flashed menacingly, heading straight for the head.

The burly man holding the bell's expression changed drastically. He held the Ghost-Faced Bell in front of him, and with a clang, he barely managed to block the sword light, but a deep sword mark had already appeared on the Ghost-Faced Bell.

He spat out a mouthful of blood and retreated rapidly, but unexpectedly, the phantom of the Yellow Dragon appeared and swallowed him whole.

Huang Shouzhen continued his advance without stopping, slaying three people before being blocked by the cold-faced woman from the Holy Weapon Path, who unleashed a white light from her White Bone Soul-Devouring Sword.

"Bai Youyou? It's fine, I'll kill you this time."

The two clashed directly, and in an instant, a sea of ​​stars appeared, and a star map was imprinted in the air. The battle was filled with surging spiritual energy and sweeping sword light.

After Huang Shouzhen made his move, Yin Yuxi, Yan Yin, Mu Yu, and others followed suit, with almost every Danqiao sect member finding an opponent and attacking.

Some Danqiao warriors remained on the wall for defense, while most headed for the Nine Nether Boat and the Flying Vulture Beast. Not only the Beast King Sect, but also the Sword Sect, the Nine Peaks Sect, and Danqiao warriors from various other sects joined the battle.

In the air, flying bats and giant eagles fought fiercely, while the Nine Nether Boat and flying vultures invaded like fire, with streaks of light rising everywhere. The Danqiao warriors fought fiercely, and it was truly a chaotic mess.

Corpses fell to the ground one after another, and arrows pierced through the bodies on the city walls and the ground. The barrier was constantly bombarded by the giant beasts, while also blocking most of the ranged attacks from the Nine Nether Ships and slowing down their entry into the barrier.

Su Yan and Long Qiushui flew away, naturally joining the battle.

The two were not far apart. Long Qiushui stepped on the true meaning of the Xuan Shuang Poison Dragon, and the Frost Moon Ring split into nine paths, constantly attacking the Nine Nether Boat and the Flying Vulture Beast.

Within a few breaths, several Nine Nether Ships were destroyed before Danqiao martial artists finally managed to stop them.

It was Ding Suqiu, a Star Chart stage martial artist from the Three Flames Divine Palace. The two were locked in a fierce battle, locked in a stalemate in mid-air for a time.

Su Yan was stopped by a Danqiao martial artist from the Holy Weapon Path as soon as he was there.

"Martial artist of the Third Heaven, today I will use you as a sacrifice to the flag."

He Liben's eyes were sinister, and the Blood Soul Banner appeared behind him. He shook it, and a gust of bloody wind swept towards Su Yan.

He was a cautious person, and he specifically targeted the third-level martial artists, fearing that he would be injured in the attack.

"Click"

However, just as the bloody wind was about to envelop Su Yan, a sudden burst of lightning caused Su Yan to vanish from his sight in an instant.

His expression changed drastically, and he instinctively wrapped the Blood Soul Banner around his body, protecting himself completely.

Out of the corner of my eye, I couldn't see Su Yan's figure, but I felt a gust of wind coming from behind me.

Behind you!
Before he could even turn around, the Blood Soul Banner was pierced through along with his body.

His eyes widened: How is this possible?!
The Blood Soul Banner is a mid-grade third-tier spiritual artifact; how could it be broken through so easily?

Su Yan moved swiftly, drawing out the Poison Dragon Sword, while He Li's physical form was already absorbed into the Insect Realm space.

"one"

Su Yan's killing intent surged. At this moment, the sky was full of enemies, and for others, it would probably be too slow to kill them one by one.

But he is different.

He opened his insect realm space, and a buzzing sound instantly filled the entire battlefield. Tens of thousands of fiend bees surged out, flying out like a blood cloud.

Su Yan hid among the Fiend Bees, watching them wreak havoc.

The suddenly appearing Fiend Bees directly enveloped many flying bats and the warriors on them.

Screams rang out, and in just a few breaths, the evil bees invaded their lungs and internal organs, devouring a large amount of their essence and blood, killing them instantly.

Like greedy and frenzied tornadoes, they swept up thousands of demonic warriors, and even the Nine Nether Ship, which had erected a protective shield, became precarious under their onslaught.

Su Yan, amidst the swarm of evil bees, faced the Nine Nether Boat or the Flying Vulture Beast, and with a single sword strike, instantly shattered their defenses.

The entire Nine Nether Ship instantly transformed into a living hell.

In just a few minutes, Su Yan had already slaughtered thousands of people with overwhelming force.

"Damn it!"

The martial artists from the Hundred Caves Witch Clan instantly noticed this situation. Two of them immediately flew over, put down their crimson cloth bags, and a swarm of strange insects buzzed out, colliding with the evil bees.

They thought they could wipe out the enemy swarm, but when the two torrents collided, the hook-winged bees fell to the ground in a flurry, and in the blink of an eye, more than half of them were lost.

"Witch, kill his true form."

His companion roared, and Lu Wu's eyes blazed with fury as he slashed at Su Yan with his Azure Serpent Sword.
