The Demon Slayer Martial Saint Begins with Insect Refining

Chapter 333 War Dragon Corpse

The claws, like red-hot cast iron, sizzled and burned the dragon corpse's body, even though the dragon corpse was a poisonous corpse that felt almost no pain.

But now, Jiang Feng felt a burning pain in his soul.

He roared, drew his grappling hook, and created distance.

Black blood dripped continuously, and the potent toxins corroded a deep pit in the ground.

"You knew about our plan all along?!"

Jiang Feng was incredulous. He controlled the dragon corpse and made a hoarse, grinding sound, like a piece of rusty iron rubbing against each other.

His highly toxic blood released countless toxic gases, completely enveloping his body. As the green poisonous mist changed, it resembled a giant, man-eating beast.

A look of astonishment flashed across Su Yan's eyes. The Dragon-Eating Insect's form and aura became increasingly solid, and it was now staring intently at the dragon corpse, continuously transmitting its suppressive pressure.

He also realized that the targeted nature of the Dragon-Eating Insects had led Jiang Feng to misjudge the situation, and coupled with the sudden attack by the Demon-Suppressing Guards, he clearly believed that this was premeditated.

"The corpse contains dragon energy; are you trying to target the Great Li Dynasty?!"

Following Jiang Feng's words, Su Yan gave an ambiguous response.

"The royal family of Dali..."

He let out a strange laugh and said, "What difference is there between us? We're just corpse diggers..."

"Be bold!"

Nan Anlian roared, but he couldn't care less about Jiang Feng's current combat power at the Dharma Aspect level, which he had acquired by relying on the dragon corpse.

"Set up the formation to locate the enemy. Fellow Daoist Su, your ferocious insects are effective against him. Let's work together to kill him."

Nan Anlian, Gu Yuxuan, and Deng Shangyi personally controlled the Dali Xuanzhou, summoning their true essence. Their figures resembled celestial gods. At this moment, Zhai Long from the back mountain had already arrived.

"Commander!"

Zhai Long gestured to Su Yan, who nodded.

Zhai Long immediately activated the formation on the Dali Xuanzhou.

The four Great Li Mystic Ships emitted a dazzling light, shooting out a beam of white light that connected their hulls together.

A square barrier enclosed the entire area, and wave after wave of oppressive spiritual rings continuously bound the dragon corpse's body.

Each spiritual ring is equivalent to a restriction, weighing over ten thousand pounds, and can also imprison true essence and spiritual energy.

The dragon corpse is already a monster at the Dharma Aspect level, but its strength does not mean it can ignore the seal; it simply means it has a stronger ability to resist.

But how could the Dali Xuanzhou be a simple item?

Although the Dali Xuanzhou have the same name, they are actually of different levels.

The Great Li Mystic Boat they used this time can be described as a top-grade third-tier spirit-sealing artifact, with over a hundred third-tier spirit stones embedded inside.

If they are used simultaneously and in combination, it is not impossible to briefly resist the fourth-tier opponent.

Jiang Feng was furious. Despite the dozens of heavy pressures on his body, he stood up straight, his spine cracking and revealing his hideous bone spurs.

"Since you want to die, I'll kill a few of you first."

The dragon corpse's body is about to erupt and rush towards the Great Li Mystic Ship.

At this moment, the Dragon-Eating Worm moved like a shadow, blocking the path of the dragon corpse Jiang Feng.

Dragon Corpse Jiang Feng suddenly sprang up, his corpse energy forming blades as he charged forward, determined to fight the Dragon-Eating Worm to the death.

At this moment, the ferocious aura of the Dragon-Eating Worm was fully revealed. It feeds on dragons, and its ferocity is far beyond that of ordinary poisonous corpses.

Their massive bodies clashed, their sharp claws glowing with a red light that seemed to corrode dragons. Every attack they launched was designed to erode the dragon's energy within its body.

The two monsters fought fiercely, causing bricks and stones to fly everywhere in the square in front of the palace, dust to rise, and cracks to spread across the ground.

In terms of pure strength, Jiang Feng, the Dragon Corpse, is undoubtedly more powerful.

The dragon corpse's body was already at the fourth-tier level. Although Jiang Feng's blood sacrifice and fusion had the suspicion of accelerating its growth, they did not allow the dragon corpse to reach its peak.

However, he also possessed the combat strength of the third or fourth level of the Dharma Aspect. In a normal battle, the Dragon-Eating Worms alone would not be enough to defeat him.

The essence of the Dragon-Eating Insect was extracted by Qin Jingtian as a medium, and it was only at the second-order level when it was first born.

Under Su Yan's nurturing, it successively devoured two dragon species, the Blood Dragon and the Poison Dragon, and has now reached the peak of its growth stage, with its combat power between the peak of the Star Sea Realm and the Dharma Aspect Realm.

A few skirmishes are fine, but when it comes to a protracted war, it's ultimately lacking.

However, that applies to the general Dharma realm.

To the dragon corpse before them, the Dragon-Eating Insects saw not a terrifying poisonous carcass, but a cake imbued with dragon energy.

Dragon energy is different from dragon seed, but they are very similar. If one absorbs this wisp of dragon energy, it will bring about earth-shattering changes to oneself.

Therefore, even if there is a difference in strength during the battle, the advantage of restraining the dragon species can still cause it to inflict more fatal wounds.

Not to mention, under the suppression of the formation, the strength of the dragon corpse Jiang Feng was further sealed, making him no more than the first or second level of the Dharma Aspect Realm.

As the two continued their fierce battle, Su Yan also made up his mind. He manipulated thousands of Hundred Poison Gu Seals to enter the body of the Dragon-Eating Worm, and his true essence continuously transformed and surged into the body of the Dragon-Eating Worm.

With Su Yan's support, the Dragon-Eating Worm became even stronger, transforming into a blood-red nine-headed poisonous dragon that swept up the dragon corpse Jiang Feng and shoved him into the ground.

The ground trembled with a rumbling sound as the dragon corpse was continuously torn apart by the dragon-eating worms. With each bite, the worms' aura intensified.

"That's terrifying!"

Just by manipulating the formation on the Dali Xuanzhou to help suppress the dragon corpse Jiang Feng, they could feel how powerful the counterforce from the formation was.

Although the elixir aperture and the Dharma form are separated by only a fine line, the difference between them is probably worlds apart.

Each time they erupted, their internal energy was violently shaken, requiring constant calming in order to sustain it.

They had already realized that the power supplied to the fourth Dali Xuanzhou was not provided by Zhai Long, but by the ferocious insects left behind by Su Yan.

This means that Su Yan still had some strength left after fighting the Dharma Image.

monster!

Without prior arrangement, they all looked at Su Yan, who was now standing in the arena like a golden-faced god, his iron fists and his blood-headed poisonous dragon constantly fighting against the dragon corpse.

Every punch landed squarely, and even Su Yan was knocked away several times.

As time went by, the wounds on Jiang Feng's body, the dragon corpse, became so numerous that it resembled a tattered rag.

When the attack of the dragon-eating worm landed on its body, the wounds became like festering sores. The dragon energy was drawn away, and the toxins could no longer sustain its original body, turning it into a mess of filthy blood and rotten flesh.

"Pfft"

After about 100 seconds, Jiang Feng wanted to kill Su Yan with all his might, so he rushed straight up to him.

"Boy, even if I die, I will take you with me..." Before the voice could finish, a Poison Dragon Sword had already pierced through his body, and the poison around the poisonous corpse was instantly drained by the Poison Dragon Sword.

The dragon-eating worm caught up from behind and swallowed it whole.

boom

When the last wisp of dragon energy merged into the body of the Dragon-Eating Worm, it instantly transitioned from the growth stage to the mature stage.

The terrifying aura surged, instantly surpassing the third tier and transforming it into a fourth-tier ferocious insect.

"It's done!"

Seeing this, everyone, especially Nan Anlian and his group, felt a mix of emotions. A fourth-tier ferocious insect was equivalent to a powerful being in the Dharma Aspect Realm.

Although Su Yan did not break through on his own, the breakthrough of the ferocious insects under his control was actually no different from his own breakthrough.

Congratulations, Fellow Daoist Su!

Nan Anlian was the first to offer his congratulations, followed by Gu Yuxuan, Deng Shangyi, and others, whose words were filled with respect.

At this time, he is still called a fellow Daoist, but after some time, he will probably have to be called an elder.

Where in the world is there a banner of Dharma Realm?

Su Yan broke through, and the remnants of the Poison Man Sect in Tianqing Mountain were already at their last gasp.

Nan Anlian, Gu Yuxuan, Deng Shangyi, and others sealed the main peak of the Dali Xuanzhou, and their subordinates divided into small teams to begin the final suppression across the entire Tianqing Mountain.

Su Yan could help Fu Conghan suppress Elder Tianqing.

However, he secretly ordered the Dragon-Eating Insects to pretend to continue stabilizing their realm.

The main body summoned even more blood bees, creating a massive force that annihilated the remaining members of the Poison Man Sect.

On the surface, it did seem like they put in a lot of effort and killed many remnants of the Poison Man Sect, but in reality, they were just trying to mislead people.

The killing of the dragon corpse was swift and clean, but it deliberately obscured the question of whether the dragon was more powerful or the ferocious insect was more powerful.

If Nan'an Lian hadn't come and hadn't activated the formation, Su Yan would probably have directly attacked with ferocious insects, or transformed into a true spirit to corrode the dragon insects' bodies and pluck off the dragon corpse's head.

However, this method is easily exposed and can be targeted.

The current mix of truth and falsehood only serves to confuse more people and prevent them from discerning his true intentions.

However, Fu Conghan truly lived up to his reputation as the head of the Demon Suppression Guard; his strength was definitely at the Great Dharma Aspect level.

Old Man Tianqing fought several times, but was skillfully blocked by him. He tried to fight to the death but failed, and was dragged down to the point where he was powerless to resist. He then had his arms severed and was suppressed.

From then on, the remaining members of the Poison Sect of Tianqing Mountain were all executed, more than 5,000 poison corpses were killed, more than 2,000 disciples were killed, and more than 400 remaining members were captured alive.

The warehouse was more than half destroyed, and most of the resources had already been consumed in order to cultivate the dragon corpses.

The situation in the medicine garden was actually similar. The dragon corpse was finally born, which must have been achieved through countless methods of stimulating its growth. In the end, the resources in both places could not escape the calamity.

Fortunately, Su Yan did not intend to take both places for himself, as that would be too conspicuous.

Thanks to his merit in obtaining a fourth-order heavenly treasure and a piece of fourth-order spirit gold, Fu Conghan agreed to this.

On Tianqing Mountain, a large number of remnants of the Poison Man Sect were escorted down the mountain, along with nearly a hundred living poison corpses, who were also escorted away by the arriving Demon Suppression Guard disciples.

Fu Conghan was in the main hall at this moment. The bronze horn and golden coffin was still lying in the corner of the hall's ruins. Although the golden coffin was huge, it seemed rather empty compared to the main hall, as if it only occupied half the space.

He ran his hand across the ground, frowning slightly: "I'm afraid there's another dragon corpse missing."

Upon hearing this, the expressions of Nan Anlian and the others behind him changed slightly.

“We didn’t see any other dragon corpses come out, and we didn’t see any trace of it on the mountain.”

The implication is that if it truly exists, it must be sent away beforehand.

Gu Yuxuan said, "It's unlikely that someone sent it away beforehand. If there really was another dragon corpse, it was probably traded away or transferred. Didn't the Eastern Wilderness Prefecture just have a transaction with the Poison Man Sect?"

Deng Shangyi said, "Indeed, if they could have been sent away in advance, they must have known the news. However, if Elder Tianqing knew the news, he wouldn't have been so shocked."

"What if we abandon a pawn?"

Fu Conghan looked up and then said to everyone, "If they deliberately left behind expendable pawns to cover the escape of the dragon corpse, then that would make sense."

His expression was somewhat grim. If this conjecture was true, then the importance of this dragon corpse was at least greater than that of two Dharma Aspect Realm warriors.

He couldn't help but look at Su Yan, since Su Yan was the only one who had truly fought against the dragon corpse, so he asked, "Su Yan, what do you think?"

His tone was calm, and compared to his previous optimism, it now carried a greater sense of equality.

Previously, people only had faith in Su Yan's talent and potential, but now that he has a fourth-tier ferocious insect in hand, Su Yan is equivalent to a Dharma Aspect combatant.

Even if he is not a high-ranking Dharma Master, he still deserves to be treated with even greater seriousness.

"The dragon corpse uses dragon energy as a catalyst. I don't understand formations, but since it's dragon energy, it's probably targeting the Dali era."

Fu Conghan's expression changed, and he immediately realized something. Although he was only at the Dharma Aspect Realm, he had heard about the concepts of luck and dragon energy from some doctors at Qintian Academy.

The remnants of the Poison Man Sect are probably not limited to this one place. If every place is like this, it will be no small matter for the Dali Kingdom.

"Are you serious?"

"I received General Qin Jingtian's inheritance and witnessed the Blood Dragon that quickly became a Saint."

Having seen the Blood Dragon that was about to become a saint, he was naturally very sensitive to dragon species, not to mention that Su Yan's ferocious insect seemed to be the legendary Dragon-Eating Insect.

"Nan Anlian, contact Qintian Academy immediately to investigate the Poison Man Sect's plot together."

"Yes"

Fu Conghan made a series of arrangements, informing Zhao Wenyuan while simultaneously involving Qintian Academy in matters concerning formations and fortune.

After all that setting up, most of the day had already passed.

One after another, the commanders were dispatched, but Su Yan remained unmoved.

With only the two of them remaining in the hall, Fu Conghan finally smiled slightly: "Your progress is even faster than I expected. Before long, I should be able to address you directly as Fellow Daoist."

Su Yan smiled slightly: "My elders were worried about my safety while I was away, so they gave me some powerful and ferocious insects. I just managed to break through by chance."

Fu Conghan's eyes revealed understanding, and he thought the same thing in his heart. Even if it wasn't given to a powerful contracted beast, it was probably given more resources.

“Protecting the Dao is the proper course of action. If such a prodigy were to appear by my side, I would probably spare no effort to help him protect the Dao.”

He paused slightly, then said, "You conquered the back mountain, slaughtered over a thousand remaining enemies, and even killed a dragon corpse despite being of a higher level. You deserve the greatest credit for this battle. I will recommend you for commendation later. In the Qintian Academy, there is a fourth-grade superior elixir, the Five Elements Dharma Aspect Divine Pill. With your merits, you can exchange it for a share of the Demon Suppression Guard. Once you obtain this pill, your breakthrough to the Dharma Aspect stage will be within reach. After you take charge of the prefecture, in another year or two, you will be able to command an entire department and become a leading figure in the Demon Suppression Guard."

Fu Conghan's intention to win Su Yan over was obvious; Su Yan's potential and demonstrated strength were enough for him to build such a team.

Su Yan slightly raised his eyes and smiled, saying, "Thank you."
