The Demon Slayer Martial Saint Begins with Insect Refining

Chapter 374 The Rise of the Corpses
Hundreds of divine lights descended from the ancient dragon vein insect, each one comparable to an incomparably sharp spiritual weapon.

The four men from Shan Junlin were cursing under their breath, but they had no choice but to channel all their strength into the banner to continue resisting the attacks.

They couldn't understand where this monster had come from.

"We must draw the corpse's evil energy into our bodies, otherwise we will all die here."

Shan Junlin made a decisive move. Now, the entire Western Prefecture is sealed off by Shan Chongfeng's great formation. The corpse aura within the formation is the manifestation of the red and black aura that Su Yan saw.

The four members of Shan Junlin were using desperate measures. It is true that the corpse evil energy entering their bodies greatly increased their strength, but if it lasted too long, their foundation would be polluted, and it would take ten or a hundred times longer to repair it.

But now, how could they dare to hold back any longer?

Strands of black energy entered his body, instantly causing his true essence to surge. At the same time, his eyes turned scarlet. Left and right Zang Linyun and Shan Yunqi unleashed their spirit weapon flying swords, attacking Su Yan's Insect Lord God.

With a wave of his hand, the Myriad Insect Prison Tower appeared in the palm of his hand, pressing down from above like a mountain.

The two magical artifacts let out a mournful cry before being suppressed beneath the Ten Thousand Insects Prison Tower.

"You think you can win using demonic methods?"

Su Yan sneered, and the Ten Thousand Insects Prison Tower crashed into the barrier formed by the golden banner. With a loud bang, the golden barrier was immediately covered with cracks.

The shock caused Shan Junlin's internal energy to become chaotic, like a torrent bursting its banks, smashing his meridians into a mess, severing many tendons, and causing him to spit out blood.

Shan Junlin's black hair was disheveled, and his eyes were bloodshot. Su Yan looked at him coldly. With a thought, the wings of the Dragon Vein Ancient Insect flapped, gathering the power of the Dragon Vein, and several yellow sand tornadoes were stirred up out of thin air.

The yellow sandstorm swept across the land like a yellow dragon descending upon the world, carrying immensely terrifying power.

Gravel like a knife, sweeping like a blade.

They barely grazed the edge, and those mountain warriors and poisonous corpses who were slightly closer were swept up in it before they could even react. Within a few breaths, they were turned into mangled, dried-up corpses.

Shan Junlin's eyes widened in horror, and he felt an extreme fear welling up inside him.

But he didn't have time to react further.

They watched helplessly as nine yellow sandstorms crashed into the barrier.

The barrier shattered instantly, and all four were swept into the yellow sandstorm.

The powerful force kept impacting their bodies, and their protective armor only lasted for a little over ten breaths before it completely collapsed.

The four were covered in wounds, and their true energy was being rapidly depleted like a flood.

They did want to break free from the encirclement of the yellow sand dunes.

However, the Ten Thousand Insects Prison Tower had already locked onto their location. Several scarlet chains fell to the ground as if traversing nothingness, intersecting to form a huge birdcage.

"die!"

Su Yan pointed his sword, and the Myriad Insects Eroding Star Sword transformed into a blur, instantly piercing through the unsuspecting Lü Fan's body.

In shock and fear, he watched helplessly as his flesh and blood were drained dry.

Lü Fan became the first, and the next one was Shan Yunqi.

Shan Yunqi was devastated. In an instant, he used the Blood Escape technique, using his blood essence as a conduit to erupt and transform into a red shadow, trying to escape this damned cage.

However, for Su Yan, it would only hasten his death.

The ancient dragon vein worm, having traversed the yellow sand, was already waiting in front of him. The sandstorm raged, forming an insurmountable Great Wall, blocking him in the midst of the storm.

"You're so ruthless, you'll wipe them all out!"

Shan Yun opened his eyes wide, his gaze filled with bloodlust. His black armor reeked of blood, his black hair danced wildly like snakes, and his eyes were as red as a ghost. He unleashed all his power, transforming it into a punch aimed at the ancient dragon vein worm.

This punch was a desperate strike from the third level of the Dharma Aspect Realm, no less powerful than that from the fourth level.

Bang

A heavy collision rang out, and a golden barrier actually formed on the surface of the Dragon Vein Ancient Worm. The power of this attack was completely absorbed by the golden barrier, and it didn't cause the slightest disturbance.

rustling

With a slash of sharp claws, Shan Yunqi was instantly split in two.

At this moment, golden threads seemed to converge on the body of the Dragon Vein Ancient Worm, and the scattered fortune of Xizhou Prefecture gathered on its body, causing its aura to increase slightly.

'As expected, the struggle for the dragon vein's destiny isn't just something the Marquis of Zhenshan can handle.'

A hint of understanding flashed in Su Yan's eyes. The dragon vein's fortune in Xizhou Prefecture had been dispersed into the martial world because of the Marquis of Zhenshan. Now that he could get a share of the pie, he wouldn't hold back. He would break the Marquis of Zhenshan's plan and take all the spoils for himself.

As soon as this thought arose, the Insect Lord God-Emperor unleashed a soaring aura, wielding the Ten Thousand Insects Prison Suppression Tower, which transformed into a hundred-zhang-tall behemoth, and headed straight towards Shan Junlin and Cang Linyun with the overwhelming force of Mount Tai.

The two fought desperately, but the next moment their true essence was sealed, and all their strength was no match for the mighty Ten Thousand Insects Suppressing Prison Tower. They were crushed to death in an instant.

"Su Yan!!"

In the sky, the black aura symbolized by Shan Junlin's army gradually dissipated.

The Marquis of Zhenshan immediately sensed something was wrong. Upon noticing the familiar aura, Shan Chongfeng flew into a rage, his thunderous roar echoing throughout the entire Western Continent.

Dark clouds gathered in the sky, transforming into the cold and ruthless face of the Marquis of Zhenshan, who was about to attack Su Yan from afar.

However, Ji Liyang's loud laughter rang out, and the spatial ripples spread like the surface of a lake shattered by a falling rock, breaking up the entire manifestation.

"Young friend, you are very capable. Kill that old scoundrel's army for me. After you succeed, I will have a great opportunity with you."

The sound faded, transforming into the booming tone of a bell, resounding throughout the seventeen cities and four passes of Xizhou Prefecture.

"Demon Suppressing Guards, heed my command! Attack the city and breach the gates! Break the seal, and the Western Continent will fall by itself!"

"Demon Suppression Army, heed my command! Attack the city and breach the gates! This Western Continent Prefecture cannot be overthrown!"

Xiang Haoran gave the order in a deep voice. Military orders are authoritative, and action was immediately taken. The vast iron army on the border, like black dragons, set off immediately.

Don't be fooled by the fact that the Demon Suppression Army has not occupied many cities. That's because the border troops are holding firm, mainly to guard against the barbarians in the far north and the people of the Buddhist Kingdom. Even with the infiltration of the Mountain Clan, the number of people mobilized is still over 100,000.

They were the main force in conquering the city and besieging the pass.

……

Amidst the changing winds of Xizhou Prefecture, Su Yan naturally heard Ji Liyang's orders. At this moment, on the battlefield, Su Yan's lips curled into a smile.

"Demon Suppressing Guards, listen to my command! Follow me and charge out of the city!"

"Yes"

The nineteen divisions responded in unison, their voices resounding throughout the heavens and earth. The city gates swung open, and the two armies clashed head-on, like two waves crashing together.

Having witnessed Su Yan's terrifying display of killing four Dharma Aspects, the Demon-Suppressing Guards of the Nineteenth Division are now riding high, regarding him as a god of war.

Long Qiushui summoned his Xuan Shuang Poison Dragon from within the army formation, and with a single breath, froze over a thousand people.

Without the equal power of the Dharma Aspect Realm, even if a military formation condenses into the form of a military formation, it is difficult to resist the might of the Dharma Aspect.

"run!"

The Shan Family Army and its affiliated sects immediately scattered like birds and beasts. In particular, several Danqiao martial artists in the army transformed into rainbows and flew away into the distance after realizing that something was wrong.

The morale of the army collapsed, and more than 10,000 warriors fled one after another.

The poisonous corpses, on the contrary, became the fiercest soldiers, tireless fighting machines, constantly launching attacks on the Demon Suppressing Guards.

Su Yan caught a glimpse of it out of the corner of his eye, and with a wave of his hand, the Corpse King Worm flew out, and wisps of corpse poison spread like a thick fog, immediately surging into the poisonous corpse's body.

The corpse poison of the Corpse King Worm acts like a chain, immediately sealing off their bodies and quickly finding the core of the poisonous corpse, seeping into it.

The poisonous corpses trembled violently, and soon they became increasingly stiff. The curse marks on their bodies shattered, their eyes emitted a green light, and the corpse poison around them was controlled by the Corpse King Worm.

More than three thousand poisonous corpses stood like wooden stakes on the battlefield, while the Corpse King Worm controlled the countless strands of corpse poison in mid-air, like a puppeteer, completely controlling them.

"This……"

The demon-suppressing guards on the battlefield stared at Su Yan in shock, their hearts filled with astonishment. Just how much more skill did this prodigy possess?

"Su... Su Yan, you can actually control poisonous corpses?"

"Otherwise, how do you think I escaped from the clutches of the Marquis of Zhenshan?"

Xu Lu was utterly shocked, but Su Yan had a thought: "You say the Demon Suppression Guards don't have enough soldiers, but do the Mountain Family Army have enough?"

Xu Lu shuddered, her pupils dilating slightly as she looked at Su Yan.

Su Yan smirked. He decided to use their own methods against them. Since they were going to attack the city, he might as well go big.
