The Demon Slayer Martial Saint Begins with Insect Refining

Chapter 373 Slaughter of the Western Continent
Xu Lu was taken aback, but quickly realized: "Of the seventeen major cities in Xizhou Prefecture, only Giant Rock City, Camel Bell City, Green Peak City, Fire Luo City, Black Stone Fortress, and Red Sand City are in our hands. Black Stone Fortress and Fire Luo City are under the control of the Demon Suppression Army. The Seventh Division is in Green Peak City, the Third Division is in Red Sand City, and the First Division is in Camel Bell City."

Su Yan frowned slightly: "They're so scattered."

Xu Lu smiled wryly: "We entered Guanxi Prefecture to investigate the relationship between the Shan family and the Poison Man Sect, so it was impossible for us to gather in one place. Although we were already on guard, the Shan family's rise was sudden, and we still suffered a considerable blow."

The Nineteenth Division was led by Xu Lu. Originally, it had almost a full complement of three thousand men, but now it had suffered many casualties, leaving only two thousand or so. It is evident that both the capture of Giant Rock City and the defense of the city had resulted in considerable losses.

"Fellow Daoists of the Demon Suppression Guard, the Western Continent Prefecture has been sealed off, and you have no reinforcements. If you do not surrender, then don't blame me for being ruthless."

Within the military formation, four Dharma Aspect warriors revealed their Dharma Aspects: two bears, one tiger, and one wolf, each a hundred feet tall, their powerful aura directly crushing the walls of Giant Rock City.

The leader was clearly a direct descendant of the Shan family, with a sallow complexion and eagle-like eyes. He was called Shan Junlin, and his eyes were slightly narrowed, his threatening intent was evident.

Just as he had said, the sky was shrouded in a gray, oppressive atmosphere, and the entire Western Continent was enveloped in a terrifying aura.

Xu Lu, Long Qiushui, and Su Yan all looked rather grim. Looking into the distance, they could see the thunderous force of the martial saints' battle amidst the churning clouds.

They could not see the person, but their imposing presence was overwhelming, as if the entire sky of Xizhou Prefecture was about to fall.

The force of the collision spread, and the devastating aftershocks could be felt for hundreds or even thousands of miles.

The Martial Saint is second only to the Celestials, and his power alone can suppress an entire province.

"The disciples of the Shan family have slaughtered the Demon Suppression Guards and the Demon Suppression Army. My Shan family may be the kings of the Western Continent for generations!"

The voice of the Marquis of Zhenshan came from the clouds. After the four Corpse Saints sealed the sky, a series of gray chains connected them to each other. With the body of the War Dragon Corpse as the core, the power that erupted once trapped Ji Liyang, Xiang Haoran, Cao Hexuan and Dang Gulan.

However, having the upper hand temporarily does not mean that Shan Chongfeng can suppress the four people.

On the contrary, Ji Liyang, Cao Hexuan and the others were all veterans of countless battles, and the more they fought, the more stable they became.

At this moment, it was a do-or-die situation, and this iron-fisted order, which meant slaughter, was spread throughout the entire Western Prefecture.

Above the clouds, amidst the dense aura of corpses, the four Corpse Saints had already trapped Ji Liyang and his companions. The overwhelming corpse mist transformed into giant hands, relentlessly attacking them.

Ji Liyang's Haoyang Golden Crow Body scorched the approaching corpse energy, while Cao Hexuan's Xuanyin Serpent Spirit, like a city wall, steadily swept away the ancient Arhat corpse.

Behind Xiang Haoran, a majestic lion, like a demon, summoned a sky-covering black aura that continuously fought against the war dragon corpse.

The Lonely Peak, Lonely Moon, and Spirit Eagle, like giant spirits of the heavens, stirred up countless tornadoes.

The four of them used their respective methods, resulting in a stalemate.

Ji Liyang said coldly, "A leopard can't change its spots. You were a blood sacrifice to become a saint back then, and it seems you still have the same plans today."

Shan Chongfeng didn't care at all, his aura growing colder and more indifferent: "You lowly commoners, if it weren't for me, Shan Chongfeng, how many people in the Western Continent would have died in turmoil, died in sect conflicts. Now they are just repaying me."

At this moment, the expressions of the Shan family's army, Shan family agents, and sect forces involved in the Shan family's power all changed, and they immediately became like vicious wolves.

Shan Junlin looked up at the city wall, a cold smile on his face: "You're too late, everyone. You're all going to die now. Kill!"

As his command fell, thousands of poisonous corpses began to climb up the city wall, their hideous faces resembling wild beasts emerging from the abyss.

"We'll coordinate with each other. Although they have four Dharma Aspects, we might still have a chance..."

Xu Lu knew that Long Qiushui and Su Yan were both extraordinary, especially Su Yan, who possessed a ferocious insect capable of rivaling a fourth-tier beast. This battle was far from over.

However, Su Yan interrupted her, saying, "I'll deal with those four Dharma Aspects. You take the Demon Suppression Guards and kill the Chuanshan Family Army."

Xu Lu showed a look of astonishment, while Su Yan's gaze fell on the void. The ancient dragon vein worm had devoured the dragon vein of Xizhou Prefecture, and at this moment, no one could sense the aura of Xizhou Prefecture more clearly than him. Four soaring blood-red energies landed on the four major passes of Xizhou Prefecture: Xizhou Pass, Duanlong Gorge, Jisha Pass, and Luoyan Pass.

The aura of bloodlust symbolizes ferocity and is also one of the four great locks, the key to sealing off the entire Western Continent.

The more powerful the War Dragon Corpse is in controlling the entire Western Continent, the stronger the increase in its fortune will be.

When the time is right and heaven and earth lend their support, even if this power of heaven and earth was forcibly seized, it can still make Shan Chongfeng's strength in the Xizhou Prefecture several times over.

This is why Shan Chongfeng massacred the Demon Suppression Guards and the Demon Suppression Army. Only by clearing away obstacles and consolidating his power could Xizhou Prefecture be completely under his control.

The blood and qi generated during the massacre will converge in the four major gates, forming an unbreakable prison of heaven and earth for him.

Besides these four streams of blood energy, there were eleven streams of pitch-black energy, as dark as ink, soaring straight into the sky, like coffin nails driven into the Western Continent, locking away all vital energy.

'With two shackles, no wonder Shan Chongfeng dares to declare himself king. If he were to obtain the dragon veins, even the mighty Martial Saint wouldn't be able to subdue him.'

The seventh level of Martial Saint is said to be able to reach the heavens, the eighth level is known as the Martial Saint of all ages, and the ninth level is the sage of the mortal world, only below the gods.

The fact that Shan Chongfeng could devise such a scheme shows that he is both bold and ruthless.

However, Su Yan wouldn't let him have his way.

If Shan Chongfeng succeeds, they will all die here today.

With a thousand thoughts racing through his mind, Su Yan looked at Long Qiushui and asked, "Is Master's injury serious?"

"Just a minor injury."

Long Qiushui's twin rings of sun and moon appeared behind him, his eyes filled with murderous intent: "Today I will obey your orders."

Su Yan smiled and said, "In that case, I'll make the first move."

Su Yan stepped out of the city wall. When Shan Junlin saw Su Yan coming, he sneered and his eyes were filled with murderous intent: "Here comes the one who's looking for death."

The four of them rushed up the city wall. Shan Junlin grabbed with his big hand, which transformed into a giant golden claw, and reached out to grab Su Yan's body.

The remaining three, Zang Linyun, Lü Fan, and Shan Yunqi, fully activated their Dharma forms, seemingly enveloping Su Yan within them.

Su Yan did not dodge. He had been fighting with the Shan brothers, Shan Wuyai and Shan Wukuang, and was now venting his anger.

"The Divine Appearance of the Insect Lord"

Behind him appeared the image of the Insect Lord God, his hands forming a seal, and a giant palm descended from the sky, shattering the golden giant claw with a deafening roar.

Shan Junlin's expression changed drastically, and he used a large golden banner to protect himself.

The three people beside him each used their own methods to help Shan Junlin withstand the attack.

The deafening roar was like thunder, shaking the hearts of the warriors below.

Looking up, Su Yan's Dharma form alone was so powerful that the four people from Shan Junlin were forced to huddle together.

"You are still far from reaching the third level of cultivation."

As Su Yan's voice fell, the Dragon Vein Ancient Worm appeared beside him, opened its mouth wide, and instantly shot out hundreds of golden rays of light, which rushed straight towards the four of them.
