The Demon Slayer Martial Saint Begins with Insect Refining

Chapter 308 Secretly crossing Chencang
Seeing Qiu Weifeng's expression, which resembled that of an old lion about to make a desperate counterattack, Shi Luohu instantly became wary.

Instinctively, they distanced themselves from each other, their skeletal armor coiled together, revealing an even more powerful defensive stance.

"Hahaha, the vanguard general is a coward!"

Qiu Weifeng burst into laughter, his aura domineering, golden light flowing from all parts of his body and converging into a golden lion.

"Disciple Qiu Weifeng of the Beast King Sect respectfully sees off Senior Water-Fire Scale Lion!"

Qiu Weifeng bowed respectfully towards the direction of Wangtian Pass, expressing his sincere gratitude.

At this moment, hundreds of miles behind Wangtian Pass, two auras rose into the sky from the old site of the Poison Dragon Valley secret realm. Both auras were a mixture of water and fire, one strong and one weak, intertwined with each other, and there was a sense of the cycle of breaths.

Despite being hundreds of miles apart, two gigantic phantoms were still reflected in mid-air, like the spirits of the heavens.

One was a burly, purplish-red, ancient lion beast, its body covered in thick, purplish-red scales, its entire body intertwined with water and fire, its terrifying strength likely reaching the late stage of a fifth-tier beast king.

The other was a purple-scaled creature with two horns on its head, long whiskers fluttering in the wind, and its body shrouded in the swirling energy of water and fire. It was none other than Chu Qidao's natal beast, the Water-Fire Tenglong.

The Water-Fire Tenglong and the Water-Fire Scaled Lion are bound by life and death, and the Tenglong is constantly absorbing the original power of the Water-Fire Scaled Lion. Its aura is rising steadily, turning from weak to strong, and it is clearly revealing the powerful aura of the Beast King. The surrounding environment is also caught in the water and fire energies, constantly changing, and the celestial phenomena are altered accordingly.

"You old fool, how dare you let the Water-Fire Scaled Lion return to its hiding place at this time!"

Openly repair the plank road while secretly advancing the Chencang!

Qiu Weifeng seemed to have come to fight them to the death, but now it's finally clear what he wants to do.

Taking advantage of the commotion of the great battle, they risked everything to conceal the immense primordial energy emitted by the Water-Fire Scale Lion when it returned to its hiding place, thus helping Chu Qidao's Water-Fire Tenglong achieve its breakthrough.

"Interrupt the Water-Fire Scale Lion's breakthrough!"

Shi Luohu, Min Tu, Helian Ming, and Lu Changsheng all decided to cross Wangtian Pass and head straight for the Qianyun Ridge Mountains, hoping to interrupt the Water-Fire Scale Lion's breakthrough.

However, Qiu Weifeng had already taken a step forward and stood before Wangtian Pass.

The battle is coming!

The array token on Su Yan's body transformed into a stream of light and flew uncontrollably into Qiu Weifeng's body.

The mountain trembled, and all the peaks responded!
All the power of the Hundred Peaks Formation instantly converged into Qiu Weifeng's body. The mountain range became one, and he became a fortress, like a lion lying in wait in front of a city, capable of blocking thousands of troops and making it impenetrable.

'Good boy'

Su Yan quietly heard Qiu Weifeng's voice.

"Your talent far surpasses mine and that brat Chu Qidao's. The ferocious insect and you even share some bloodline—truly the mystery of the giant insect's spirit body. I will impart a secret technique to you; let us witness the true strength of my Beast King Sect."

As the voice faded, a profound and dangerous cultivation technique appeared in Su Yan's mind—"True Spirit Transformation."

"Brilliant Horn!"

After giving the technique to Su Yan, Qiu Weifeng stopped transmitting his voice. The Golden Lion with Radiant Horn flew in front of him, its golden light flowing. Under the Beast Subduing Mark, it transformed into a beam of light and entered Qiu Weifeng's body.

In an instant, Qiu Weifeng's bloodline seemed to undergo a dramatic change, and his body swelled up, transforming from a height of 1.7 meters into a small giant of over 20 meters.

His muscles were coiled and bulging, radiating a pale gold color. A mane like a lion slowly grew out, his arms were like claws, and a pair of domineering bull horns grew on his head. His face even had some features of the Golden Lion with Radiant Horns.

His aura surged, his injuries were completely healed, and he transformed into a terrifying being resembling a divine general, his aura surpassing that of Shi Luohu, Min Tu, and the other three before him.

Su Yan was utterly shocked. Now, combined with the knowledge from "True Spirit Transformation," he understood what state this was in.

By uniting with his natal beast, his bloodline was enhanced, his strength increased, and he entered the True Spirit state.

The Beast King Sect is based on the practice of cultivating with contracted beasts, but its strength lies not only in its cultivation techniques, but also in its various secret arts.

Among the common secret techniques, there are offensive techniques that combine with the power of contracted beasts to unleash a combined attack.

The True Spirit Transformation is one of the most powerful, but also the most dangerous, secret techniques.

When a human and a contracted beast become one, their power is amplified, and they also draw upon the power of the contracted beast's bloodline.

This kind of integration requires not only mutual understanding but also a fusion of bloodlines; not a single step can be wrong.

To master such a secret technique, one needs to hone it step by step; there is no room for haste.

At this moment, Qiu Weifeng had completed the True Spirit Transformation, and his terrifying aura enveloped the entire Wangtian Pass.

"Rush over!"

Shi Luohu charged into the formation, while Helian Ming, Min Tu, and Lu Changsheng each attempted to cross Wangtian Pass to interrupt Gui Cang.

"Young man, try my iron fist!"

Qiu Weifeng took a step forward, his golden body enveloped in a golden aura, and punched Shi Luohu directly.

Shi Luohu tried to block with his heavy axe, but when the blade collided with the pair of fists, it only produced a loud clang and could not harm Qiu Weifeng in the slightest.

Qiu Weifeng's punches remained unabated, displaying unparalleled dominance, and he blasted the man away.

Blood spilled from Shi Luohu's mouth, and his internal energy surged wildly. In an instant, he was actually injured internally.

Helian was meditating on crossing the barrier with the Netherworld Serpent, and Qiu Weifeng had already noticed their movements.

The old and new grudges of the Golden Lion with Radiant Horns must now be settled.

A golden lion appeared behind Qiu Weifeng, roaring loudly like thunder. Golden light waves suddenly struck, blocking the man and the snake outside Wangtian Pass.

Qiao Ling and Feng Zichen also intervened, intercepting Min Tu and Lu Changsheng respectively.

This outbreak was far more intense than the high-altitude battle that occurred not long ago.

With all their skills employed, Qiu Weifeng and his two companions used every trick in the book to block their way.

The two sides were evenly matched, with Qiu Weifeng and his two companions even having a slight advantage.

The disciples were delighted, but Su Yan, who had obtained the True Spirit Transformation, couldn't help but frown secretly.

Although the True Spirit Transformation is powerful, it has a time limit. Given the ferocity of the Ancestor's attack, it was almost a head-on collision with Shi Luohu. Although he appeared to be unharmed, the consumption of energy was probably immeasurable, and he was just holding on.

Qiu Weifeng remained indifferent as he exchanged a hundred blows with Shi Luohu, breaking one of his arms.

Helian Ming and the Netherworld Serpent were also in a bad situation. Under Qiu Weifeng's bombardment, the Netherworld Serpent that had been created had no power to resist and had half of its head smashed off.

Helian Ming's black bone staff broke, and the bones in his shoulder were shattered.

Lu Changsheng and Min Tu fought against Feng Zichen and Qiao Ling. Although their battle was not as intense as Qiu Weifeng's, they were still just as badly injured.

Both Feng Zichen and Qiao Ling blocked their way like an iron wall.

Whether they get injured or both sides are severely damaged, the point is to prevent them from crossing Wangtian Pass by even half a step.

Everyone knew that the Water-Fire Scale Lion's return to the source was the key to victory, so they all put in their best efforts to stop the other side.

Within the Four Spirits Trapping Formation, Jun Moliu launched a frenzied attack on Chu Qidao. Not only him, but almost all the demonic martial artists wanted to come and kill him.

The Water-Fire-Soaring Dragon is closely related to him; if he were to kill it, it might affect the Water-Fire-Soaring Dragon's breakthrough.

"Since you all think so highly of me, I really don't want to disappoint you."

The righteous Dharma image protected Chu Qidao, and at this moment, Chu Qidao showed a light smile on his face when facing such a fierce enemy.

The energy of water and fire rose from his body, and his Dharma form appeared, resembling a dragon soaring through water and fire.

Two thousand beast-subduing marks, like stars, surrounded the three cores within the body, converging essence, energy, and spirit into the Dharma body.

Wow
Despite being trapped within the Four Spirits Formation, everyone seemed to hear the sound of rushing water. The next moment, the celestial phenomena within the Four Spirits Formation changed again, as if they were in a molten furnace.

"The Golden Body Realm has been achieved!"

Chu Qidao exuded a terrifying aura, and the two energies of water and fire merged into the sword in his hand. He thrust the sword out in the direction of Jun Moliu and immediately pierced through Jun Moliu's body.

Even in death, Jun Moliu's face was filled with astonishment and resentment.

Despite having meticulously planned to this extent, and having cornered the Beast King Sect, Chu Qidao and Qiu Weifeng defied the odds and turned the tables on them.

The resentment in their hearts can be imagined.

However, the defeat was already decided.

"go!"

The Four Spirits Trapping Formation shattered instantly, and Mo Li and Wu Yufan transformed into streaks of light, attempting to escape the formation.

Not only them, but almost at the same time, all the demonic Dharma Aspect True Persons who had reacted scattered like birds and beasts, fleeing quickly.

Chu Qidao successfully broke through, and under the power of the Golden Body Realm, the strength of the Dharma Aspect was simply no match for him.

Chu Qidao's face turned cold as he unleashed his Water and Fire Sword Intent, chasing after Wu Yufan and Mo Li.

The attack was almost instantaneous; the next moment, Mo Li's arm had already fallen off and turned to dust in a matter of moments.

Wu Yufan threw out his Gu worm to block, but the natal Gu worm pierced through him instantly. He paused, spitting out a large amount of blood.

Even with such severe injuries, the two did not dare to slow down their escape.

"I'm leaving!"

The Water-Fire Scaled Lion let out its final roar, its body transforming into countless particles of energy that flew into the Water-Fire Vine Dragon's body.

Having obtained its origin, the Water and Fire Dragon leaped over the final barrier and advanced to the fifth-tier Beast King.

"go!"

Seeing that the situation was hopeless, Shi Luohu's face turned terribly gloomy, but they no longer had a chance.

Including Chu Qidao and Shui Huotenglong, the righteous side has a total of five experts with the strength of the Golden Body Realm.

There are only four of them. If they continue fighting, some of them might really have to stay here.

"Qiu Weifeng, I've lost this time."

Min Tu's eyes were filled with resentment, but he could only turn around and fly away. If the Beast King Sect had produced another Golden Body, the inheritance would probably be difficult to change hands for the next few hundred years unless forced by a Martial Saint.

Feng Zichen and Qiao Ling breathed a sigh of relief. With Qiu Weifeng among them, none of them made a move to stop Shi Luohu and his group from leaving.

Shi Luohu and his three companions still had some strength left. At present, the demonic path's attack failed, and the righteous path had already achieved its goal.

If they wanted to expand their gains and forcibly keep Shi Luohu and the others, they would probably have to force them to trade their lives for each other.

Shi Luohu and his men are absolutely capable of doing this.

"This disciple respectfully bids farewell to Ancestor Water-Fire Scale Lion!"

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Huang Shouzhen turned to face the direction where the Water-Fire Scaled Lion had disappeared and respectfully bowed down.

All the disciples of the Beast King Sect bowed and shouted in unison, their voices like booming bells, respectfully and mournfully saying, "Respectfully bidding farewell to Ancestor Water-Fire Scale Lion."

The Water-Fire Scaled Lion was the contracted beast of a Golden Body Realm ancestor several generations ago. After the ancestor's death, the Water-Fire Scaled Lion did not pursue its own freedom.

Instead, he stayed in the Beast King Sect and protected it for hundreds of years.

If it weren't for this battle, it would have had at least another twenty or thirty years.

But now, it can be said that the Water-Fire Scale Lion saved the entire Beast King Sect with its Gui Cang.

"Upholding Truth"

Chu Qidao flew down onto Wangtian Pass, unable to completely conceal the water and fire energies within him.

"The disciple is here."

Huang Shouzhen bowed respectfully, and Chu Qidao waved his sleeve and said, "The Dharma Elders all need to heal their injuries. You will be in charge of all affairs at Wangtian Pass. Handle them properly and also be wary of the movements of the demonic martial artists."

"Yes, disciple, accept the order."

Chu Qidao nodded, then moved and flew towards the direction of the Water and Fire Dragon.

As Qiu Weifeng and the Golden Lion with Radiant Horn separated from their bodies, their auras instantly weakened considerably.

He didn't speak, his gaze slightly lowered, and he simply shook his head slightly.

The emergence of another Golden Body Realm cultivator from the Beast King Sect is naturally a cause for great celebration.

However, after spending many years together, the Water-Fire Scale Lion had become like an old friend to him, half senior and half friend.

Now, after Beast King Peak, there are no more peers of his generation.

"Huangjiao, let's go."

He touched the head of the Golden Lion with Radiant Horns, and then his figure quickly disappeared above Wangtian Pass.

Golden Body Realm experts were defeated, and no fewer than ten Dharma Aspect Realm True Persons perished, including the Holy Weapon Dao Sect Master, Jun Mo Liu.

Despite suffering heavy casualties, the demonic warriors led their remaining 50,000 troops rapidly into the depths of the Hundred Thousand Mountains.

An army of 100,000 attacked the city, and in just one day, 40,000 warriors perished at the city gates.

In the past, when attacking a city, even with a mountain-protecting formation, the casualties would not be so quick when it came to close combat between individual fighters.

Whether it's the Danqiao Realm, a flying boat, or a True Yuan Cannon, power has its limits and there are upper limits to everything.

Fighting against the enemy requires a large amount of resources and a significant investment of war materials.

But this time, a great killing god emerged from the Beast King Sect.

The battlefield was littered with white bones. After the mountain guards and servants spent the whole night cleaning up the battlefield, they estimated that there were no less than ten thousand white bones. These were all the work of the Divine Fiend Locust.

It was precisely because of this scene that Su Yanren's reputation as the Insect Slayer spread like wildfire.

Clad in black armor and commanding countless insects, he is truly a ruthless and cold-blooded character.

His reputation grew ever stronger, especially after Huang Shouzhen successfully broke through to the Dharma Form realm.

Although Su Yan had only just entered the Celestial Realm, he had already become the number one on the Dragon Ranking.

Yin Yuxi readily admitted defeat, and even Yan Yin and Mu Yu remained silent about the challenge.

They were slightly more skilled than Su Yan, but their physical bodies were inferior, and even more so to that mountain-like behemoth.

Disciples from all three schools were like this, and some even praised it as the number one alchemy master in Lingnan Prefecture.

Such a reputation is truly resounding.

However, Su Yan paid no attention to it and quietly returned to the Beast King Sect, re-entering the Water and Fire Secret Realm.

Standing prominently in front of him was Chu Qidao.
