The Demon Slayer Martial Saint Begins with Insect Refining

Chapter 372 Shocked Retreat
Su Yan was covered in insect armor, and at the same time, a cosmic deity-like insect lord appeared from the depths of the universe behind him, with ferocious insects forming stars and bowing their heads on both sides.

The overwhelming power instantly startled Shan Wuyai.

'Such a powerful Dharma body, this child cannot be allowed to live; otherwise, this deadly enmity will never be amicable.'

Shan Wuyai's killing intent was firm, and the golden bear image of the mountain-suppressing bear also appeared behind him.

The Golden Claws crisscrossed left and right, unleashing the full power of this fourth-grade superior spiritual weapon.

Its sharp edge aimed directly at Su Yan's Insect Lord God's Dharma Image, threatening to tear it to pieces.

Su Yan's Dharma form descended at this moment, merging with his body. His eyes were full of majesty, and with a raise of his left hand, the Ten Thousand Insects Prison Tower appeared in his palm.

"Ten Thousand Insects Suppress the Prison!"

He unleashed the Ten Thousand Insects Prison Tower, its heavy and sturdy body directly colliding with the sharp edge of the Hunter Gold Claw.

The clanging sounds continued incessantly. The sharp edge, under the impact of the tower, had no chance to resist and turned into countless fragments.

The Mountain-Suppressing Divine Seal!

Shan Wuyai's expression darkened, and he formed a hand seal, unleashing a golden mark as large as a mountain.

The momentum was overwhelming, and the golden seals were as high as mountains.

The Shan family wields the Mountain-Suppressing Divine Seal to dominate the Western Continent. When this technique is unleashed, it truly possesses the power to change the world.

Su Yan remained calm in the face of the attack.

The ancient dragon vein worm flew in front of him, emitting a divine light that resembled a dragon's roar, and crashed directly into the mountain-suppressing divine seal.

A powerful force instantly suppressed the Mountain-Suppressing Seal, and the seal was visibly disintegrating rapidly.

"What a powerful force!"

The power of the ancient dragon vein worm made Shan Wuyai's heart sink. He immediately activated the hundred-zhang-tall Golden Bear Dharma Form to fight Su Yan with overwhelming force.

Su Yan was not afraid at all, and together with the ancient dragon vein insect, they attacked from both sides.

The Ten Thousand Insects Suppressing Prison Tower sealed and controlled the area, and the sealing divine light fell, suppressing 20% ​​of Shan Wuyai's power.

The boundless mountain's Dharma form condensed, shrinking by several dozen feet, to resist the sealing power.

With its immense power and golden bear claws, it stirred up a sky full of yellow sand, leaving behind tearing marks for dozens of miles.

Su Yan, wielding the Myriad Insects Eroding Stars Sword, swept his sword energy across the area, blocking all the sharpness of the attack. The sword light traveled for hundreds of miles, heading straight for Shan Wuya.

The ancient dragon vein worm flapped its wings, instantly creating eight sandstorms on the yellow sand Gobi Desert.

The two fought fiercely, and although Su Yan's cultivation level was slightly weaker, his physical body was much stronger. He would often withstand attacks and then unleash his killing moves. In less than a hundred exchanges, he had already left several bloody marks on Shan Wuyai's body.

Shan Wuyai was stronger. Although he was constantly attacked by Su Yan, his counterattacks were ruthless. He broke through the spatial isolation of the world in front of Su Yan and left dozens of claw marks on Su Yan's insect armor.

The wounds varied in depth; some were shallow and hadn't even broken through the armor, while others had penetrated straight to the bone, with blood constantly gushing in.

Shan Wukuang, who was standing to the side, tried to join forces with them several times, but his opponents were all Su Yan's ferocious insects.

With the Gold-Devouring Emperor Insect as the core, he directly activated the Gold-Devouring Insect Emperor Domain. Under the domain, Shan Wukuang dared not easily use the spiritual artifacts on his body.

Because with each attack, the source of his essence was devoured by the Gold-Eating Emperor Worm, and then transformed into a shadow artifact within the domain to launch an attack against him.

He was stronger than the Gold-Eating Emperor Insect, but under the suppression of this domain, he was unable to unleash his full power.

Every attack that lands on the Gold-Eating Emperor Insect is usually weakened by its body, which is comparable to a magical artifact.

Not only that, there are also giant lava scorpions, blood-bone centipede kings, divine locusts, star-shadow spiders...

The several ferocious insects were all at the fourth level of strength. They joined forces and directly activated the Ferocious Insect Formation, trapping Shan Wukuang inside.

The malevolent aura of the Divine Fiend Locust corroded the area, the Blood Bone Centipede King spat out a deadly poison capable of dissolving bones and flesh, the Star Shadow Spider's sharp shadow silk and hidden shadow power, and the Molten Mountain Giant Scorpion's raging molten fire...

Under their siege, if Shan Wukuang hadn't possessed the power of the eighth level of the Dharma Aspect Realm, he would probably be dead here by now.

monster!

The fighting between the two sides became increasingly intense, and they were now truly enraged.

Su Yan gradually gained the upper hand, and the undying core on the Wind and Thunder Insect had been transferred back into his body.

Flesh and blood regeneration, immortality
Su Yan traded his injury for his life, and suddenly moved closer to Shan Wuyai.

With a muffled thud, he was struck hard by a palm, and the claw wounds on his body were so deep that the bone was visible.

With a swift stroke, he severed one of Shan Wuyai's arms.

The blood splattered on the yellow sands of the Gobi Desert was so glaringly obvious.

Su Yan was sent flying backward. His insect bone armor had been completely shattered by Shan Wuyai's attack, leaving him a bloody mess, with blood gushing out like a tap that had been turned on.

"What kind of monster are you?!"

Shan Wuyai was already feeling fear.

The Su Yan before them was not only able to command so many powerful and ferocious insects, but more like an indestructible monster.

At first, he was somewhat evasive.

Now, no matter what kind of attack it is, Su Yan dares to fight back head-on, seemingly without any concern about the gap between them.

The Ten Thousand Insects Prison Tower and his physical body training provided Su Yan with powerful defense. Coupled with his Undying Heart Core, he could quickly regenerate flesh and blood no matter what injury he suffered.

Rumble

A tremendous roar came, as if the entire sky had collapsed.

A jet-black tornado rose from the ground, and the sky, centered on the direction of the Rocky Mountain, quickly turned into a hazy gray, as if the entire Western Continent Prefecture had been enveloped in a huge black curtain in an instant.

"Martial Saint"

The aftershocks of the intense battle continued to spread, and even those standing on the ground could feel the terrifying tremors emanating from the earth.

The Martial Saint has made his move, and it seems to be escalating.

Su Yan frowned, and suddenly Shan Wuyai unleashed his Hunting Golden Claw.

He raised his hand and unleashed the Myriad Insects Eroding Stars Sword, which clanged as it blocked the attack.

"Walk"

Shan Wuyai threw out seven or eight spirit-sealing talismans, which instantly transformed into ferocious wild beast spirits, pouncing towards Su Yan and the group of ferocious insects. Taking advantage of this opportunity, he grabbed his younger brother Shan Wukuang, and the two of them ran directly towards the southeast without looking back.

Su Yan's gaze remained calm, and he did not chase after them.

A cultivator at the eighth level of the Dharma Aspect Realm is practically considered a powerful martial artist.

They wanted to escape, but given Su Yan's current weakness, it was impossible to stop them unless he risked his life and paid any price.

The fact that Su Yan was able to force them to retreat was enough to prove that he was a monster.

In the Desolate Martial World, which martial artists, with the strength of the third level of the Dharma Aspect Realm, can shake a martial artist of the eighth level of the Dharma Aspect Realm?
Su Yan's true essence was almost depleted. If he dragged this out any longer, he might not fare well either.

"If the Martial Saint makes a move, Xizhou Prefecture is probably in danger."

Only Su Yan knew that once the battle started in Luan Shi Mountain, it wouldn't just be a matter of one or two Martial Saints.

The Marquis of Zhenshan alone possessed three ancient corpses of martial saints.

Su Yan collected all the ferocious insects, and after sensing them briefly, he immediately transformed into a stream of light and quickly approached the east.

He sped along, perhaps because of the ancient dragon vein insects. Although the Golden Sands still possessed immense gravity, it could no longer hinder his progress.

He transformed into a rainbow and flew out of the Golden Sands. The sights he saw made him frown.

The Western Continent is in chaos, and it's not just the murders and robberies in the Golden Sands that are happening.

Almost all cities were placed under martial law.

The Shan family army controlled many small cities, and held a dominant position in several major county towns.

Disciples of the Shan family slaughtered martial artists and civilians in Xizhou Prefecture, using their blood as a sacrifice to become poisonous corpses and poisonous people, and then robbed them of their property.

There were also those martial artists with ulterior motives who became calamity cultivators in this Western Continent Prefecture.

Large battles and small battles—almost everywhere you look, there is fighting.

Su Yan flew for most of the day before finally stopping outside Giant Rock City.

In the midst of the yellow sand and Gobi Desert, a colossal stone city stands tall on the earth.

The city gates were tightly shut, and all the warriors on the high walls stood ready for battle.

Beneath the city gates, a green poisonous mist spread, and thousands of howling poisonous corpses surrounded the entire Giant Rock City.

Further away, more than five thousand members of the Mountain Family Army, dressed in light yellow heavy metal armor and riding Sandbar Golden Horned Horses, kept their eyes fixed on the movements of Giant Rock City.

"kill"

The leading warrior gave the order to attack, and the poisonous corpses instantly rushed towards Giant Rock City.

Further away, warriors from several sects launched an attack at this time, seemingly aiming to take down Giant Rock City in one fell swoop.

Su Yan frowned slightly and flew directly into the battlefield.

"Oh no, there might be an enemy!"

The Shan family army cried out in alarm, unleashing a barrage of arrows, all their sharp points aimed directly at Su Yan.

Su Yan moved like a streak of light, weaving through a sea of ​​arrows.

"kill him."

Immediately from the battle formation, two generals at the Dharma Aspect Realm rushed out, and with a wave of their hands, two jet-black flying swords attacked.

Su Yan waved his hand and unleashed the Hundred Tigers Breaking Army Seal, summoning over a hundred ferocious tigers that instantly knocked them over.

With almost no obstacles, Su Yan climbed directly onto the top of the wall.

"It's Prefect Su!"

The demon-suppressing guards of the Nineteen Divisions recognized Su Yan, and upon seeing the reinforcements arrive, they all exclaimed in surprise.

ta ta ta

Long Qiushui rushed over quickly, her blood-stained robes fluttering, and she was in front of Su Yan almost in an instant.

She looked him up and down, and finally breathed a sigh of relief: "It's good that you're alright."

The wind and thunder insects informed her that she had a general idea of ​​Su Yan's safety, but no matter how much she knew, it was not as reassuring as seeing it with her own eyes.

Xu Lu looked surprised, as she vaguely sensed a suppressive force emanating from Su Yan.

'His aura is even stronger than Qiu Shui's?'

"I escaped in the chaos. Who was fighting with the Marquis of Zhenshan?"

"Lord Ji Liyang of Zhongdu Town Government."

Xu Lu answered, "The situation in Xizhou Prefecture is not right. The magistrate of Zhongdu Town has been paying close attention to it. In addition, Qiu Shui found General Long Qing and used the Demon Suppression Army to report to the royal city, which exposed the Marquis of Zhenshan's plan."

When Xu Lu said this, the shock she had felt earlier had not yet dissipated.

Extracting the dragon vein of an entire prefecture just to break through to the Martial Saint realm—such ruthlessness is bound to attract the attention of so many Martial Saints.

If the dragon vein of a prefecture is completely lost, not only will its fortune be damaged, but it will also affect the Dali Dynasty. It may not be able to recover its vitality for decades or even centuries to come.

Su Yan noticed that the entire Nineteenth Division was not at full strength, and quite a few of the Demon Suppression Guards were injured.

How did you get trapped here?

He glanced out of the corner of his eye at the outside of the city. The poisonous corpses, having failed to besiege him, had now gathered under the city wall and were releasing even more corpse energy.

The Dharma Aspects that had stopped him earlier did not rush forward now. They stared intently at Su Yan, their expressions almost sneer.

As long as we can hold them off until the poisonous corpses breach the city gates, then no one will be able to stop them.

“Besides Thousand Wood City, Giant Rock City is the closest city to Chaotic Rock Mountain, and also one of the closest cities to the Northern and Western Borders. The Nineteen Divisions’ investigation line is here, but we didn’t expect that the Marquis of Zhenshan also wanted to open up a passage in this direction.”

The horde of venomous corpses was chilling, and they were now roaring.

The Nineteen Divisions are scattered across various locations, and now they are like snacks being cut up bit by bit by the Mountain Family Army, ready to be divided and eaten.

Xu Lu said, "There are only two Dharma Aspects in Giant Rock City, Qiu Shui and I. They have four Dharma Aspects, so we dare not make a move easily. But it's good that you've come."

Su Yan narrowed his eyes: "Do you know which cities our Demon Suppression Guard is stationed in?"
